First, remove Comodo. You don't need it, and it sounds like it is causing a problem.
The other symptoms sound like you have adware installed. Comodo might have detected some components of that adware, or it might not have, but whatever the case, you should NEVER allow any anti-virus software to quarantine or delete files from your computer. See: How to remove infected files.
Regarding the adware, see my Adware Removal Guide.

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,

(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Help with connecting MacBook Pro with Cisco Routing and Switches?

I'm running a CiscoASA 5510 router with several Cisco WS-C2960-48TT-L switches on a local network to connect with MacBook Pro. I need to be able to restrict access to specific users via their computer MAC address. ie: Joe Blow is limited to connecting through Switch 1 on port 10 and anywhere else he tries to plug in will simply not work.

You need to look at the documentation that came with your router and switches. Or ask your network admin to set it up. Your question has nothing to do with your Macbook Pro configuration. MAC filtering is done in the router not in the computers/devices connecting to the router.

I need urgent help with my macbook pro, installed a theme and now unable to open windows, please help !

I have tried to get help from several help forums, and tried changing files as described here

Okay, it's both for your first question: When I import the songs to the library, the songs are not in the correct order as they were on the CD. And, in the process of my importing the songs, the library scrambles the songs in different sections of the library (I explain further below)
I don't know what you mean by "little triangle" pointing up or down. What's that got to do with the price of fish in China? lol
When I get the music in the library the songs come out sorted this way: 2 songs from CD 1 appear one section of the library, then 1 song from CD 2 appears in the next column, along with the album work. Then, I go down farther, and there's a few more of the songs from CD 1 in the next section. I go down again, and maybe 2 or 3 songs are in that column. Along with the artwork for that CD. Then I scroll down again in the library, and there's maybe 3 or 4 songs from CD 1 there. Get the picture? It keeps sorting the songs in that order. And yes, the CDs I was importing were compliation dance CDs, along with some from the same artist, like Barry Manilow.
I hope I answered the questions better so that you can help me Thanks in advance, Glenn

PLEASE HELP! My MacBook Pro doesn't fall asleep

My MacBook Pro doesn't fall asleep on its own any more. Currently, my Energy saver is set so that the display falls asleep after 1 minute, and the computer itself, after 3 minutes. Even if I don't have any softwares running, or anything else, it doens't fall asleep. Please give me some suggestion about what to do about this! (or would I need to take it to a shop? ... )

Well, since the machine does properly sleep when the lid is closed, my guess would be that you have a software conflict and not a hardware problem. Since your are up to date, have repaired permissions, and can't remember anything else that may have changed, it could be difficult to track down the culprit.
One thing you can try, it takes a bit of work but will help show if software is the real problem. You could create a new user account, and don't install anything new in it. Log in as the new user, and see if sleep works there. Often as you use your main user profile, you accumulate software programs and utilities, and sometimes then can conflict with one another. If you create a fresh user account, often it will not have the same software conflict.
If the new account sleeps normally, then you can assume that you have a software conflict somewhere, and you should think through what you have installed. If the new user account has the same problem, my guess would be that something is out of whack with the OS, and you need to decide if a full system reinstall is worth it (that is a big decisions, don't just jump into it).
Regardless of the outcome, after you have used the second account for a test, you can simply delete it.
Cheers,
Josh

Please help me! MacBook Pro stuck on apple logo and spinning wheel

Hi I'm really desperate and need help! My MacBook just stopped loading and would stay on the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel.
I have tried safe mode and it would load a little and stop and then the loading bar would be blank and it would stay like that forever!!
I also have tried doing the single user mode and when I type the fsck - fy it will do a couple more lines then it will say error like a hundred times :(
I did verbose mode and it would just give me stuff that I have no idea what it saying I left on verbose mode for like 5 hours and it would just give me lines of stuff I have no idea what it's saying!
I downloaded lion through apple store so I don't have the disk I only have my snow leopard disk
Please please someone tell me a solution it's my moms laptop and I don't want to get in trouble!

Reboot in recovery mode an possibly repair over the internet.
Command-R to the rescue.
Just hold down Command-R during startup and OS X Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of OS X, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if OS X Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.

Need help with iTunes, macbook pro, and ipad

This is only about the 3rd time I've booted a mac. I have a macbook pro and I have 12 ipads. I want to access itunes on the macbook pro and download applications and then whatever I download I want to be installed on the ipads. I signed in to my itunes account on both the macbook pro and the ipads. I have downloaded an app from itunes, but I can't find it on the macbook pro or on the ipad. How can I tell if it's downloaded and installed on either unit? Thanks

Did the part numbers match up to 661-3997, 661-4326, and 661-4346 as the seller advised? It looks like a problem with the timing controller. It's odd that it sorta works during the boot screen. I think that screen may be 800 x 600 during boot up when only the Apple shows. Have you tried lowering the resolution to 800 x 600 on the notebook screen while it is running to see if you get any kind of image at all of the Mac desktop? Not that that would be a permanent solution, but it might be helpful in troubleshooting.
Have you had any further contact with the seller of the panel? I notice they have a high ebay rating. Maybe they will have more information for you. It seems like the panel is correctly installed but isn't compatible for some reason.

Need help with webcam, macbook pro

Please help!
I need to set up a wireless webcam to monitor a litter of puppies while I am at work. Home computer is an iMac 24 inch, at work I can plug in my MacBook Pro, or use the office PC network. I need help in selecting a web cam (wireless, as pups are far from computer) and setting up so I can log on via an internet connection.
Many thanks for your suggestions!

They aren't cheap, and use a browser to view the images. Most require a wireless network at the remote location too ...

Help with unresponsive MacBook Pro

I got up this morning to turn on my MacBook Pro, and it was unresponsive, stuck at the gray screen with the spinning circle. There's also a loading bar beneath the circle that disappears after a few seconds. I already had a similar encounter about a year ago with the same computer, and took it into the Apple store where they eventually had to replace the hard drive.
It's a 15" MacBook Pro that I got about 3 years ago, currently running OS 10.6. I don't have the OS disc with me but I do have a time machine backup on an external drive, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to boot from that. I also have access to my girlfriend's MacBook Pro, which I'm posting from. It's newer and came with 10.7 installed, which it is currently running. I read online about being able to create a 10.7 boot disk by re-downloading the installer from the purchases section of the app store. I was going to try this, but since this MBP came with 10.7 already installed and was never purchased, I can;t find any way to access the 10.7 installer since they have removed 10.7 from the app store entirely it appears. I would just go ahead and download 10.8 for the $20 on here and create a disk from that if I knew there was a good chance it could fix my problems.
I'm no expert, but following what others have posted about similar problems, I booted using CMD + Shift + V, and the last few lines contain things such as:
     Keys out of order (4,7898)
     Rebuilding catalog B-tree
     The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired
This is where I get lost and don't know what, if anything, can be done from here. I was just hoping there was maybe something else I could try before taking it into the Apple store, as the nearest one is about 100 miles away. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You have directory damage. If you continue to use your computer you will have further damage which only the repair shop can repair.
You will need to get hold of your system discs that came with your computer and do the following -
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If repairing the disk does not work, you will need a stronger utility. Here are a few -
DiskWarrior   Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
TechTool Pro   Multi-functional utility.
Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.

Help with Connecting Macbook Pro with LG AX355

So I recently bought the newest Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.2. I also just picked up the LG AX355 model cell phone and have been trying to pair the two together to send files from my Mac to the cell phone.
So far, I have been able to pair the items without any problems. However, when I attempt to send a .mid file to the mobile phone, it connects and then gives me an error message on the phone that says File Transmission Failed and an error message on the Mac that says "The file transfer failed: the connection failed."
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have enabled the Bluetooth sharing already under my settings. Anything else I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well the very first time I paired the device with the wizard, it told me that I had the option to connect to the Internet via the bluetooth connection I think? As though using the Mac, I could get online with my phone.
However, when I ran the wizard for the second time, it says I don't have any services except that a computer serial port was created. So, under the Bluetooth preferences pane, I see my phone and under services it says: OBEX Object Push.

2. How do I take care of it to prolong life?
4. What are the things that I should not do on my MBP or with my MBP?
To be honest you don't really need to. This is a great thing about Macs. You can use it without paying attention to this and it will still last longer than a Windows PC that you treated like a baby.
I use my computers (Windows and Mac) very heavily (12+ hours per day) for heavy use, and they are treated roughly. The Windows computers, under this treatment, used to last under a year (cast falling apart, mouse buttons fall off, screen comes loose etc) however my MacBook Pro for example is still in perfect condition after about 1 and a half years now.
3. What apps do I need to install for a somewhat generic user like me?
iWork is good, it is like Microsoft Office and costs a lot less. It is also Office compatible. If you have Microsoft Office then it is probably not needed though.
