Is this product have shell shock (CVE-2014-6271) vulnerability

There is world wide shell shock (CVE-2014-6271) vulnerability. Is there any impact on Firefox versions ?If yes, what are the versions effected this ? And what are the plans to deliver fixes for this vulnerabilities from Firefox ?

Correct, in response to the escalation tag, I confirmed with the security team that this has nothing to do with Firefox.
It was warned that the bash shellshock was more of a worry. However there [cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-1568] and [https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-73.html]

Hello,
this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635)
any ideas? thx

I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...

12.1" G4 IBook shut off this morning on it's own.... won't start back up.

Hi everyone,
I have a 12.1" 1.2 GHZ G4 IBook. I've been using it with little to no problems, up until the last week or two... which culminated this morning. I could use some advice/ help if you all so inclined.
Let me preface this by saying that in the last week or so, I've had 2 times that the backlight seemed to go out. It's never done that before, and after resetting the PMU etc it seemed to be just fine.
Cut to this morning...
I was on the IBook checking a few things online and stepped out of the room. I came back in the room and while reaching for the Ibook (and looking at the screen), I saw (and I think "heard") the computer shut off. I thought that maybe the backlight went out again or finally died, but when I tried a restart, it did nothing.
I've tried several key combos but nothing seems to do anything. I've unplugged the computer, taken out the battery (which reads fully charged) then tried and still nothing.
I have had no processor or HD issues with the laptop, so I'm guessing (optimistically) that it's a hardware issue perhaps and that the HD is intact and can be pulled. I've got virtually everything backed up on my external, but you know there's always some stuff that isn't.
Does anyone have any advice? I know a pretty decent amount about Macs, but this is getting out of my realm of knowledge and could use some assistance. I wonder if it's possibly a logic or motherboard issue, but that's just an uninformed guess and I could be WAY off base.
I've got a few emails out right now to see if I can pick up a used IBook off Craigslist to swap my HD into (as an aside.... am I limited in G4 IBooks I can put this one into as far as screen size models etc) but if it is something I could possibly take care of, that would be great.
Any advice, suggestions, tips or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jeff

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does your iBook show any signs of life at all--drive noise? startup chime? anything? If nothing at all, it sounds like a power problem of some sort. In that case, chances are that your hard drive may well be OK, and is just not getting power.
Did any of your key combos include resetting the PRAM?

You might want to try the steps in this article to see if anything helps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25686?viewlocale=en_US
If you decide to get another iBook, you should try to get one that is exactly the same build as your current iBook, as the OS is optimized for each individual build. With an iBook of a different build, there might be problems with your hard drive working properly.
You could also put your iBook's drive in an external enclosure, and access your files that way. If you did that, you could move them to any computer.
If you have access to an Apple Store, it may be that they could try booting your iBook from the store feed and running their hardware test on it. That wouldn't cost anything, and it could tell you exactly what you are dealing with.
It's probably worth making the effort to see if you can get your iBook to boot up. If it is truly dead, then you can look into alternatives.
Good luck!

Serial number invalid since this morning

Since this morning my Adobe CS 6 Master Collection serial number is suddenly invalid. So all my Suite programs start up in a trial version...
In "My adobe"> "my products" it does display the serial# under "products in use" but when I enter this it says the # is invalid.
My guess is that the serial# is seen as in use but somehow the Master Suite I have been using for over a year now has forgotten this serial?
Please help! I have tried contacting the Adobe Narender help-bot but without luck...

Hello 4.zlo,
I was online with support last night from 2:00AM until 6:00AM because of the long wait times, dealing with the same issue. The answer was: your license is good but now it isn't because it expired. It was a permanent license but it is set to expire after about a year. Then, you have to send us proof of purchase (after I already registered it) and the only proof of purchase we'll accept does not include digital sales (like mine) through online shops. So, I get to ask pretty please that the reseller create a form that has nothing to do with the way they normally do business so that I can prove to Adobe I bought the software they acknowledged as purchased when it was first registered last year.
If Jeff A. Wright is reading this, I finally got a case ID. Here it is: 0212006956
Best of luck,

My G5 Tower caught fire this morning

My apartment smells like burnt electronics today. I was asleep this morning when I was awoken at 6am by a weird sound coming from the dining room. At first I thought it was the Oscar attacking something in the fish tank, I went in to investigate and realized, it was not the fish, I heard a electrical arching coming from the computer. When I got close to the computer I could see flames coming out of the vents for the cooling fans. The fire was expanding fast, I acted immediately pulling all the inputs and the power plug and started blowing into the back to put out the fire. I got the fire out but if I was not there I'd hate to think what might have happened to my apartment and my neighbors as I live in a four plex.
I have a liquid cooled 2.5 duel G5 tower or should say "had as of now", and I'm pretty sure the liquid leaked into the power supply, shorting it out.
This really ****** me off and I think Apple should make good on their bad design and almost burning down the building I live in by replacing this unit altogether.
No, I'm not under warranty or extended apple care but I don't care.
Anyone know if Apple stands behind their product in a case like this?
Anyone have a similar experience?

“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
Twain

Yes, they said they would fix the computer but I'm not very enthusiastic about having a computer in my home that spontaneously bursts into flames, even when powered down. Melrose Mac called me today to authorize the repairs and they confirmed my fears that the coolant leaked into the power supply and logic board, virtually the entire component array needs to be replaced.
My concerns are how many of these fire bombs are sitting in unsuspecting homes waiting to combust. And what kind of issues might I have after inhaling the noxious fumes that were in my dining room all day.
I think this issue goes beyond the mere fixing of a stupid computer but goes into possible property loss and lives at stake. It seems to me Apple should have recalled these machines and should recall all of these machines. It looks like Apple is taking this issue on a case by case basis, fielding the line drives as they come. Does someone have to die before the responsible thing is done? Or has someone maybe died and it was never connected to this source. Orrr??????
I've always thought of Steve Jobs and Apple Computers as a responsible company doing the right thing for the advancement of humanity. Now, it looks like, to me,
they have become a company using the legal system as cover and lawyers as their ultimate moral compasses.
Maybe I'm a dreamer but where does this kind of **** end?

Shell Shock

Ok i know shell shock is a term for the state of mind, but in the movies the sound is always muffled. i'm a newbie at soundtrack pro and was wondering how to create the muffled effect,

hi
there are many ways to acheive the effect you are talking about. It kind of depends what your perception of shell-shock is (or matching it - if you have ever suffered it!!!)
one way to do this is to use an EQ to filter out all the high frequencies - this will give the muffled effect you describe. Or use a High Cut filter to do the same.
there are also creative ways to achieve the disorientation of shell-shock. you could add a very high frequency sound to give a 'ringing in the ears' effect which often occurs after being in close proximity to a blast etc. (a very good example of this is in the recent film "We Own The Night" with joaquin phoenix - the scene where he is in the drug factory)
I created the sound design for a short film directed by Ruairi Robinson...
http://www.echo-lab.com/index.php?file=SC
check the scene at 03:20
sometimes sound design can be as much about what sounds you remove, rather than being about using great sounds. it's whatever tells the story really.
hope this is of help to you

Any speculation around Bash "Shell shock" impact on VMware products?

According to VMware investigating bash command injection vulnerability aka Shell Shock (CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169) | VMware Securi…, VMware is investigating the impacts of the Bash security vulnerability on VMware products.
What do you think about the possible impact on ESXi hosts? Vulnerable to remote code execution or not?

Does anybody know if the vShield Manager 5.1.4.1912202 is affected by shellshock? Thanks!!
While not mentioning vShield Manager in particular, the KB article lists "vCloud Networking and Security 5.x (aka VMware Shield 5.x)" which the vShield Manager virtual appliance is a part of.
Since the vShield Manager virtual appliance runs a full GNU/Linux OS underneath, I'm 99% certain it has a bash and is thus affected as well, like all the other virtual appliances. In fact, I'm not aware of any VMware virtual appliance that don't have a bash shell (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
It seems like VMware is doing the proper thing and disabling parsing in bash altogether.
Probably requires a lot more QA testing, but mitigates future parser bugs that are most likely coming.
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/09/29/43
That's quite interesting.
This raises the general issue of virtual appliances and patching once again. The GNU/Linux OS running in pretty much all appliances is just a customized version of another popular distribution (majorly SuSe in VMware's VAs), so in theory you could just update with the distributions default packages instead of having to wait for vendors to publish it's "certified" updates.
I completely agree that QA is important and it can be problematic for certain packages like java, webserver or database software and depending libraries. But updates to more "generic" applications like bash or openssl (heartbleed), which only fix a very certain code area, shouldn't cause any issues in the applications.
Given the severity of bugs like Shellshock and Heartbleed, there might be limited patience in some environments with waiting for vendors re-packing fixes that are released since some time.
That "updating" a virtual appliance sometimes means "deploy a new VA from scratch and migrate data" doesn't help in that regard either.

HT204023 I was able to activate and use my personal hotspot with my iPad4 yesterday but today it says I have to contact my carrier! I did make the $50 payment today as my data was used up this morning, could that be the issue? How long does it take to w

So yesterday was the first time I used my iPad's personal hotspot, and it was great. Just click on it and typed in the password on my laptop. This morning while working out my iPad's data plan ran out so I paid another $50 and was good to go. However when I tried the personal hotspot, I get a message to contact my carrier. What is up with that?

Contact your carrier and ask them.

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

My ipod nano 5th gen freezes when i try to play a certain song, and itunes gives me an error message when i try to convert it into a different format!! i just bought the song this morning, so i dont see why it wont work! any help would appreciated!!

so yea, the title pretty much says it all. I bought a song called LOL Money by Jace Hall this morning, along with Sub-Zero VS Scorpion rap battle by Brysi. when i synched them to my ipod nano, the rap battle would play, but LOL Money would just freeze my ipod and i would have to reboot it. does anyone know why it is doing this??

Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes? Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

Hotmail emails won't update and download since this morning

TThis morning when I went to open my emails in Hotmail, it wouldn't download any new emails. emails from April 7th and prior are there but current emails from after are not there. They were there as of last night but gone this morning. Also, when I check my email on my laptop in Hotmail, all the emails are up-to-date and are continuing to update. Somehow, my IPad will not access Hotmail after 4-7-15 today. I have tried turning it off and I have installed all the latest updates in software.

Hello BLWallace,

I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

Good Morning,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
thank you.

Have you restarted holding down the Opt key? That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist. Then select the SL partition for boot. Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

I downloaded an update to Firefox last night, and now Firefox just hangs and won't connect. It started out okay this morning, but now it won't work at all.

Even with a brand new computer, Firefox frequently hangs and/or quits spontaneously. I downloaded the latest update last night, and it worked okay for about a half hour this morning, then quit.

Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :)

Hello
I added content to a document in Pages on my Mac last night, which was saved to icloud and this morning the additions were gone. Can I get my precious work back? Thanks

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Pretty good Newegg Shell-Shocker this morning
