Removing MacBooster2 and MacBooster Mini and more
After reading a thread on removing Macbooster2, Macbooster Mini another on Genio etc, I ran EtreCheck and am looking for help on getting rid of all this crap! I am a MAC user but def. not a techie and don't want to screw up my MAC. Some of the items Genio - to name one - were found on my backup today and I had them quarantined by ClamXav.
This "software" was not intentionally installed.

I received an iCloud backup notification on my ipad mini but tapping "OK" does not remove it and therefore I am unable to do any activity on my ipad mini. please help urgent.??
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

when I connect an external hard drive to macbook pro it is very slow to appear on the desktop and Finder window, sometimes 20 mins or more, even with auto backup switched off . any clues?
Hi robfromkinglake west,
Try and isolate the issue. Check if it's only with this drive.
Check the drive with Disk Utility

I've never seen a drive take 20 minutes to mount.

how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?
I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

Hi, my spacebar is sticking and I'm having more and more difficulty getting it to work. Can I clean under it? Can I remove it?
Hi..
Don't remove the space bar.
Purchase a can of condensed air to spray (available at most hardware and computer stores) around the edges of the space bar.
That should remove any dust and debris. -
EMU 0202 USB ASIO more and more crackle until complete drop out after approx. 5 mins
Hi!
The subject already pretty much wraps up my issue. I have an EMU USB 0202 which I am using in ASIO mode. Indepedently of the software that is used to playback something (e.g. Fruity Loops, Ableton Live, or Virtual DJ), I get crackles in the sound after approx 5 minutes (give or take a minute). If I leave things running like this, the sound quality degrades more and more for approx another minute, up to complete silence.
Interesting fact: This can be fixed, by simply having the software "close/release" the device. E.g. by switching to Direct Sound and back to ASIO. Pretty much everyting, that causes the software to reinitialize the ASIO driver, will fix this - for the next 5 minutes.
I have probably already tried whatever piece of advice I could find. I have checked my system settings, incl. the stuff that one of the moderators listed here in the board (http://forums.creative.com/t5/Profes...USB-and-0202-U...).
I have used the DPL Latency checker tool. I don't see any sparks here. The only thing I noticed is, that as sound degrades, the latency slowly rises. But we are talking of "peaks" of 500µs when the sound starts to degrade.
I also used this PCI Latency Checker tool, but everything is set to either 0 or 64 - from what I've read, PCI latency could only be a problem if I were to see values like e.g. 128 or even max of 255.
I don't see any load peaks on the system either - neither disk activity or anything. Though the DAWs and the VSTs can cause some pretty heavy system load, the system is pretty much idle when playing songs back with VirtualDJ. And still as said before, after a few minutes things go from good, to bad, to worse, to silence. Searching though the net, it seems like everybody else is having some kind of general USB audio problem, where they have instant/permant crackling. I have not yet found anybody else with such a gradual decrease. The only person so far which also reports a similar issue is this:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Profes...;jsessionid=6A...
But seems like he also did only get the standard "try this" - text block answer. As I said, I already tried all these.
So, what else can I do? This is really frustrating....
Any suggestions?
EDIT: It's too obvious (too me at least) that I forgot to mention: This happens independently of the buffer settings. I can go with 6ms or 50ms... problem is still the same. Also the "timing" of the problem is not affected by this.Places you need to look are are your IDE bus and PCI bus.
Verify that the chipset drivers are up to date.
Also verify that your USB host is not sharing with any devices like WIFI or SATA controllers.
Have you sent a support ticket to E-MU support? You may want to for an issue like this.
http://www.emu.com/support/askus/ema...asp?CRSStatus= -
and it flashes off. It does that repeatedly. Eventually it brings me to the lock screen. But it does that over and over again. It's starting to happen more and more. Any ideas/advice on this?
The proper way to close Firefox is through the File menu "Exit" or the equivalent with the Firefox button.
More detail in item '''#38 Firefox already running '''
of
[http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6) (#fx4interface)]
Firefox already running, to properly shutdown Firefox when closing the last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit). Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running. If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended.

Had to remove firefox and now can't download to re-install
Due to 'someone' downloading something and getting malware, which should now be gone, but to clear completely removed firefox. Now using IE (yuk) tried to download FF. The firefox setup screen comes up and the rolling progress bar is going across the page but for 20 mins nothing more.
hi again, please perform all these steps if you suspect that you have malicious software present:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
How long is your shutdowntime from MBP Retina 13" ML? (and more)-Please help!
Hello everyone,
I have been searching in this Support Community for a while, but I cannot really find a solution/answer to my issue(s):
Note: If you do not feel like reading my whole story, PLEASE only post your shutdown time from your MacBook Pro Retina 13", 2.5GHz, 8GB with Mountain Lion.
I have bought a new MBP Retina 13", 8GB, 128GB (basic model) at the 23rd of DEC 2012 and I have not got the chance to really use it because it keeps getting problems (trackpad was not working well, battery health never 100%, shutdown time of 23secs and more - will tell). Called Apple Care within 5 days: Told me this all is not the way it should be, advised me to go to the Apple Store to let it check (traveling time for me is about 2 hours).
Went to the Apple Store in Amsterdam (I live in the NL) with these issues (bought this MB at a reseller abroad though - cannot go back): Genius told me some hardware should be replaced because this is not a software problem (tested). I mentioned the DOA Policy, because I did not even got the chance to use my new precious rMBP and I mentioned this problem within the 14 days. He told me I could NOT get a new rMBP from them, because I did not bought it straight from Apple (Apple Store online/offline). Okay fair enough, I let it repaired: new SSD 128GB including top case, new trackpad, new battery. Found it a little bit doubtful to replace this kind of hardware from a 2-week old rMBP.. Picked it up 7 days later.
Tested it somewhere in a quiet place nearby the Apple Store. Trackpad was working as it should be, battery health was 100%, shutdown time was still 23 seconds.. Rebooted that thing, waited for 5min (staring at it) and shut it down again; 23 seconds. Started it up, opened only Safari and iPhoto, shut it down right afterwards, 23 seconds.
Went straight back to the Apple Store. Told a Genius at the Bar what was going on. He tested it, told me this is NOT normal. Took it to the technician room, they tested it for like 15min, came back with the technician man, told me that this was NOT normal, BUT they could not find what causes this and told me they have never seen/heard this issue before. Got the 'manager' to talk to me (his nametag did not tell he was the manager though) and suddenly it was a 'non-issue' and told me to go home..?!
I told him the whole story - again, mentioned that I had also shut down some MBP Retina's 8GB in different Apple Resellers and this particular Apple Store, and ALL shut down within like 3-5sec. He said I could not compare these models with my rMBP because those probably (probably) are all demo models. Okay, so what is he telling me, that I got fooled by Apple; their show models are working better than the one I bought?
Anyway, got over this, I thought if everything is working well then I just leave it this way. Then two days later the battery health drops to 98% with 2 load cycles, and System Information and Coconut Battery gave a different battery charge than the one in the right upper corner of my screen (5% higher on the screen).
Also, my storage gets fuller and fuller by the day, while my rMBP is still empty from files. The only thing I did was installing iWork '09, MS Office 2011 and Coconut Battery. And the only thing I did those days was surfing around to find answers for my issues (instead of studying). So only Safari has been used. My storage space left at this moment is 88GB from my 128GB, so what is happening? I checked a lot about this at this Community, tried a lot, nothing works.
And third, my shutdown time is still 23 seconds, while a friend of mine owns a new MacBook Air 13", 4GB SSD, Mountain Lion and his shutdown time is like 4 seconds. All my Macs with Mountain Lion shut down within like right away, 4 seconds. And they do not even have SSD and 8GB. So how can this be 'not an issue' (manager did not used the word NORMAL) with my NEW rMBP?
I am familiar with working with Apple Products since a very long time, I have been using iMacs and other MacBooks for the last 6 years and I have never (ever) had this much trouble with an Apple product. I am highly disappointed and I think I have the right for a new rMBP - since replacing 3 major hardware parts, speaking with Apple Care for 6 times and going to an Apple Store twice, within ONE MONTH is not solving all these problems. I think a MacBook worth €1800 (in the NL) should not be like this!
Thank you for reading this whole story. I thought I should tell you everything in detail so you have all the information you might need to help me out with maybe one of these problems.
I thank you very much in advance!Well to update my own thread just for the people who are reading or for the people who are also searching for an answer:
I was sick of it that Apple Care told me to go to the Apple Store and Apple Store told me to call Apple Care.. So I decided to tell my story to.. Tim Cook. I know.. but I did email him, and I know.. he won't be reading those emails himself. Anyway, wasn't expecting to hear anything from Apple HQ any time soon, but it already gave me a better feeling to email this.
The very next day I got a call from the Apple Store right away: I was getting a new rMBP! And I am typing on it right now. Everything works perfectly fine and the shutdown time is sometimes 3-4 seconds and sometimes it takes a little bit longer, like about 20 seconds.
But the shutdown time wasn't the only issue that I emailed for - I know this thread was about the shutdown time so I am coming back on that.
The conclusion I can make based on my experiences with Mountain Lion on different Macs in this house (and my two Retina's I worked on) is the same as what already is mentioned before; it has to do with Mountain Lion.
BUT, in MY case and the reason why I opened this thread, it was NOT Mountain Lion. It was my rMBP for sure. -
how do i unlock my phone after I find it I keep getting this phone is dialed for more and more minutes?
Back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with, as explained at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. This will remove the passcode.

I upgraded to 11.1.14.62 this morning. Not iTunes is saying "An iPod had been detected but could not be identified properly". I unlugged/replugged in. I reset the iPod, I removed iTunes and reinstalled. I'ver tried three different cables.
When I put the iPod in disk mode it shows up briefly as a disk then goes away.
Any ideas?Hi there - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
1) iTunes
2) Apple Software Update
3) Apple Mobile Device Support
4) Bonjour
5) Apple Application Support
Then you restart your computer.
Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
Then you restart your computer again.
Mine is working perfectly again now.
I hope it works for you,
Carmen. -
Many apps crashing after iOS 5 update and more. Think Apple will give me a trade-in?
I just typed about a thousand words and lost them. I noticed that my owned hardware list hadn't been updated in years and tapped on it. The back button returned me here and all that was left was the title of the post and the tags. NOTE: SPELL CHECKER DOES NOT WORK IN SAFARI SO THERE WILL BE TYPOS.
I don't have the strength to type them again. Basically my 64 Gb iPad 1 is unusable in many ways after the update. I have lost too much work and play because of it. It never gave me any trouble before and if I had the scratch, I would be typing away on an Android tablet right now. Long time user since iPod Touch G1 and have owned too many to list.
Big one, you can no longer charge with older or 3rd party cables.
WiFi dropped completely in further corner of the house until I turned on the dynamic indicator for the flaky location system that shows that I'm in every town around me, and some not around me, but not my town.
Filling in dialogs in Safari is torture, cursor often disappears. Tap around to find it and Safari crashes.
Key lag at times is so bad it gets a word behind. Scrolling in any app is jittery and jerky at the same time.
There are so many more. I typedmup 3x more but lost all of it. This thing is so flaky I have been using my HTC EVO more and more and liking it more and more. If it had a min 7" screen there would be no contest.
I don't want to give up my iPad, but it is always annoying me with its bad behavior, what good is it to me any longer?
Do you think it is too old to take to the Apple Store and ask for a trade-in? I once toasted a $500 Touch with a firewire sync cable and Apple gave me another, no questions asked. Do you think?
Just look at all the typos! I am a technical writer and it is embarrassing. Stinky keyslab+dead spell checker makes me look illiterate. Yes, the spell checker is turned on. I have spent many hours in the Settings applet in the last few weeks.I have iPhone 4 just updated to IOS 6 as well. App Store App updates are freezing on WIFI. I've twice had to delete the app and re-install. Installs of apps are also failing, causing the app to be unusable. At that point because it is a 'new' install the app can't be deleted. So the app can;t be deleted or installed.
IOS 6 on iPhone 4 also seems a bit laggy. -
How do I remove Lion and go back to snow leapard
Lion does not work well with several of my applications the most important of which is my client data file and billing program which keeps crashing with Lion. I want to remove it and go back to SL but don't want to lose any data that I have put in my files. Using time machine backups I am afraid will lose much of what I have done since I "upgraded" (I should say downgraded my system) with Lion. I don't like the changes in ical (it ***** big time) and address book is just as bad, not even functioning right. Then there is no manual for figuring things out. I know Steve Jobs has been sick but that is a lousy excuse for a lousy upgrade that really had more problems then additional helpful features.
This is what we did in our office, from Kappy:
To switch from Lion to Snow Leopard:
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
Remove header and footer from blank left-hand pages
Are there any scripts to automatically remove header and footer on a blank left-hand page for an InDesign CS3 document? I have a book with many chapters and it would be more efficient than removing them by hand.
It's a one liner from a much longer script that does quite something else -- this is merely a side effect, a quick way to get a page range (i.e., I need the range "251-256" to appear on my first page, excluding an optional blank last one) [*].
Perhaps I could write a full script, but for that I need a bit more information. Is your document an InDesign Book, with each chapter in a separate document? If so, any empty frame on a last leftmost page can safely be deleted. If your book is in a *single* InDesign document, this line can only be used if a left hand page has *no objects at all* -- not even an empty frame. That's the easy case -- in English "if there are no objects on the page, apply the "[None]" master. If there *is* a frame, however, it cannot be removed right away, even if it seems empty. That's because in that case you probably have inserted a page break somewhere on the previous page, and if the frame is deleted, tht page break will push off the text on the *next* page (the right hand). It also depends on what kind of page break -- as a character or as a paragraph Keep Option; Next Page, Next Frame, Next Odd Page, Next Column. Way too complicated to script right off the bat.
All in all, applying that empty master maually is much easier :-)
[*] Sure, I know how to use the Next Page Number trick. However, I also need the range in my XML output, and the Page Number markers do not play nice when written out in ASCII.
