Possible malware with accidental email jpg opened?

Due to some really strange email glitch (a really long story, don't ask how it happened because I have no idea), I got logged into someone's email that wasn't mine but a few of my emails were in the inbox, so I wanted to go through the emails and verify that no personal information was in the inbox before I logged out, and I saw an old email that said "your payment" so I clicked on the email. Inside there was an attachment that I accidentally clicked on (I swear I know not to open random attachments but I was trying to see what this was and literally just got my Mac on Saturday night and am getting used to how everything works). It downloaded and I opened a file called google.jpg, which was very obviously a scam, so I promptly deleted it and emptied it from my trash. Is there any way I could have gotten any kind of malware this way? I'm new to Mac and desperately hoping I didn't get some kind of malware on my 2 day old computer. Help very much appreciated!

Unless you start seeing symptoms, such as unexpected ads in browsers, or other odd behavior, I wouldn't be concerned. As I say, there's no currently known malware which can get installed through opening an image file, certainly not if you didn't see or authorize an installer process.

Is it possible to delete an email without opening it?

is it possible to delete an email without opening it?

On an iOS device, just go to Mail, then tap Edit in the upper right, and tap the circle to the left of the messages you want to delete, then Trash lower right. That removes them without having to open.

This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my email address Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"

I keep getting this message over and over and over.
This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?

I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software.

Is possible to send an email for open page?

Hi Group,
I have a question, is possible a sistem for send me an email when one specific page is open from a visitators?

You want visitors to that page to be able to send you an email, right? To add your email address to any page in your site use the Insert->Button->Email Me menu option. That will add a button that will open the visitors mail client with your email in the To field.
If you would like to have a form on that page so the visitors can enter their message and mail to you create a form at a site like Wufoo.com and embed it in your page with an HTML Snippet like the one in this demo page. That way your email address can be kept hidden from those emailing you.

Using Thunderbird/Firefox - since last upgrade, issues with HTML emails and opening PDF

Since last upgrade, it seems that I'm having 2 (maybe 3) problems:
1) emails have white/grey horizontal lines in the bottom half of the email's text or graphics
2) can't open pdf files - when I could without issue before upgrade
3) Adobe Reader - I've downloaded updates, but they won't install. (says not compatible with my computer, but running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (I even downloaded Opera brower to see if that would work, but there still seem to be Adobe issues)
Any thoughts?

I think you are correct, that was not a good idea.
Hopefully they all wound up in Home/Library/Fonts. You can safely delete everything in there, as OS X does not put anything in that folder. Fonts part of the OS are

Possible malware downloaded via email

I just opened an attachment from an email that claimed to be from Amazon on my iPad running iOS 7.0.4 and the iPad mail client. Then I realized the email was fake. What is the risk I downloaded malware and what can I do about it?

No. The iPad is not suceptible tio Malware or Viruses of any kind.
If it did contain a malware it cannot run or alter anything on the iPad.
The best course of action is to delete the offending email.

Possible bug with HTML emails and attachments from Mail.app

I'm trying to send an attachment with an HTML email from Mail.app and getting unexpected results. I've been messing around with the order that things get added to the new e-mail and it seems that I can have either an attachment or I can have HTML email, not both.
The code... (of course simplified)
tell application "Mail"
set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"A subject", sender:"[email protected]"}
tell new_message
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:alias "Path to your file as string"} at after the last paragraph
set html content to "<head><body>Some HTML here...</body></head>"
end tell
send new_message
end tell

The problem is that there is no such thing as HTML email.
Well, I wonder what I have been generating for over three years now. RTF ? Because it sure looks like HTML. I must agree that HTML is not documented or even mentionned in the Mail AS dictionnary, but it does work, though you must specify visible to false so that it does. Here's my sub:
tell application "Mail"
set DMF to default message format
set default message format to plain text
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject}
tell newMessage
set visible to false
set sender to theSender
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:Photographer, address:theAddress}
set html content to "<html><head><title>" & theSubject & "</title></head><body>" & "This is an automated response." & theSource & "Find your personnal planning on the web: " & thelink & "
</body></html>"
end tell
send newMessage
set default message format to DMF
end tell

Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

Hi,
I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
1) The all important one:
We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.
Regards,

Hey Shotdawq,
I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
cheers,

How Does one fix this-"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address"

Hello Apple Community: I receive this message multiple times a day.
"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address" Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
After sighing into iCloud I can not find a problem.
Is this a Yosemite issue, because thats when the issue started?
Thanks for your help..

Yes, this is a constant problem for me as well. I have 2 Macs (iMac and old MacBook Pro) running Yosemite. I seem to only get this message on the iMac. I've tried logging out of ICloud on both and logging back in; the problem re-appears randomly. I also have no issue on IOS devices.
It's mainly annoying. I open the iCloud panel in System Preferences and it tends to go away.

I opened an email that I later identified on hoaxbusters as depositing malware. I have malwarebytes on my laptop, but nothing similar on my iphone4 what app should I buy? If I run it, will it find or fix the possible malware?

The creeps that generate this code figured that the iPhone since is is selling so well would be a great market for them even if iOS makes it impossible for their code to do anything practical unless it is jail broken first.
For additional information on jailbreaking, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking

In bridge i select a jpg image with cntrl r to open in camera raw but get "camera raw not avail"

In bridge i select a jpg image with cntrl r to open in camera raw but get "camera raw not available" camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. I can open nef. in camera raw with no problem.

Hm, what I suggested might actually be a possibility then...
Close whatever version you have open first...
I think Adobe installs shortcuts for both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop in the start menu.
If you can't find the 32 bit Start menu entry, look for the 32 executable here (changing the CS version number to whatever yours is):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe

Windows 7 - jpg "open with" launches PSE11 but doesn't load photo.

In Windows 7 explorer
I can't just right click on a jpg file to open and then load the photo into Photoshop Elements 11.
PSE11 loads properly but with an empty workspace. I then must do a file, browse, open, etc. to
find my photo.
This has resulted after removing and reinstalling PSE11.
I did this because of possible curruption with my Straightening Tool. (The line is very thin and only
partially appears.) The reinstall did not resolve this problem and created the "open with" problem.
Thanks,

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.
