Our computer was accessed remotely this afternoon, how can we prevent this?
We have a Mac Mini, running OS X 10.6.8, using NetZero DSL as our internet provider and Firefox as our browser. Our computer was accessed remotely through LogMeIn (Rescue), but it appears that the person/group were not successful in hacking our computer. Are there settings in Firefox that would prevent this from occurring in the future? Thanks...
It looks like you can block the specific program on your Firewall: [http://help.logmein.com/SelfServiceKnowledgeRenderer?type=FAQ&id=kA030000000DGE0CAO&kw=firewall]
However if you are looking to block all remote connections, you might want to ask a general support forum about how your operating system can do this.

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?
i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.

Regarding Mail: When I return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, my accounts go offline, and are always asking me for the password. THis is very annoying. How can I prevent this?
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??
The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

the ipad'osby media pro' could not be synced because this computer is not authourised for purchased item that are on this ipad.how can i solve this proble,i've authourised it several times
Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?
If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Computer loading pages too slow. How can I fix this?
Computer loading pages too slow. How can I fix this? When I go to iMac Manuals a gey/black screen appears. What is going on with this?
Unfortunately you haven't provided any useful information, such as what iMac you have, which version of OS X is installed, the capacity of the HD and how much is still available, etc...
Please complete your profile so we can begin to assist you, without that critical information we are guessing. -
When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?
Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff. -
When holding down the 'command' key for a few seconds, the Universal Access panel appears. How can I stop this?
It is a panel that pops up and the heading on the panel is 'Universal Access', it is actually just an image of a panel, you can't access it. I have checked keyboard shortcuts and none of them are assigned to the command key only

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it?
How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.
