Safari hijacked-reproducable by me on two machines

Please note. I tried to post in a different thread but the thread got marked as answered so that was the end of that. So here goes again
I am getting a browser hijack on a regular basis. I have not been infected by the trojan. I get redirected to a pc malware site
performanceoptimizer.com
and then to
scanner2.malware-scan.com
I first noticed this when I would be browsing macnn.com/news and would click on one of their links which took me to an electronista site. I would get hijacked every time from the electronista.com site as described above. I emailed macnn and they seemed to know the problem had to do with me being in Canada. That was interesting. I was at mac2sell.net just before this and got hijacked the same way from them now too. No link to the electronista site this time though. I am running 10.5.2 with Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15) on my macbook.
Just another note about my browser hijack problems. I also get the same results from my Macpro (rev1) running 10.4.1 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). Not sure how to post pictures here if you would like to see them though
Thanks so much

Wow, this is a very quick reply!!
So the same product keys shouldn't harm my machines then? For example, when I try to install some upgrades from Microsoft website and there is this little software (which I forgot its name) that will check if my Windows is a genuine copy or not and I was just thinking that having same product keys could somehow break this "genuine copy" thing...
I just want to make sure that this is not a problem or illigal to do. Nobody wants to have a problem with the Microsoft I guess

Same Safari, same version, same OS, but behaves differently on two machines

I have Safari 5.1.1 installed on two machines. Both have 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.1 installed but some web pages look differently on both machines. There seems to be a problem with browser window sizes. Hmmm ...

Could it be that the software on the installer CDs and via Software Update is "different" from the file I am able to download from Apple's own company website? Hu ... can you make it more complicated?

Keeping two machines 100% synced

Here is my setup:
1. MacBook Pro with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (using a caddy in place of SuperDrive)
2. Mac Pro desktop with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (have additional drives in remaining 2 slots, but they aren't relevant to this)
I use the MBP in the field when shooting video and photos to dump files, do quick views and minor edits, even some minor word processing if I am on a client site and need to generate a form, and email/web searches, etc. At home, I will sometimes use the MBP for full editing in a secondary office.
I use the MP for pretty much the same thing apart from the portable aspect.
Here's my question/desire/wish:
Is there a method or application whereby I can keep these two machines 100% synced once the MBP rejoins my home network?
Example 1: I store the video/photo files on the 1 Tb secondary drive of the MBP. When the MBP arrives home, it should immediately start syncing those files over to the MP's 1 Tb secondary drive in the same folder structure.
Example 2: I install a new application on the MP. That application (or files which the installer puts into place on the MP) get automatically installed or copied to their respective locations on the MBP.
Example 3: I begin editing a Premiere project on the MBP. I save it, get up and walk to the other office and sit down at the MP and open the same project and pick up where I left off on the MBP. And vice versa.
Essentially what I am looking for is a "roaming profile" set up but with the redundancy of having two locations for everything, kept in total sync with each other, and reflecting changes as I make them, near simultaneously.
Ideally, and to make matters even more complicated, I would like this same set up to work with an additional machine, my wife's iMac. She shoots alongside me in the field and we could both dump our files into the MBP, do whatever initial work needs to be done, and then pick up at home, she on her iMac looking at her photos, and me on the MP editing video.
I'm suspecting a possible solution involves a series of Automator scripts and folder actions, but I was hoping to find a more elegant, one-click idea. Thoughts? Suggestions? Flame for requesting an entirely unreasonable feature?

Synchronizing data between devices is a complex issue, and there's no really ideal solution. This comment is an oversimplification.
Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
Several other kinds of data can be synced via iCloud, such as calendars, iWork documents, photos, Safari tabs and bookmarks, and keychains. Some third-party applications can also sync with iCloud, but not many. iCloud is easy to use, for the most part. The drawbacks of using it are, first, that it doesn't sync everything; and second, that some of your private information will be in the hands of strangers. Read the iCloud feature list and privacy notice carefully before deciding whether or how to use it. There should be no privacy concerns with iCloud keychain, because the data is encrypted end-to-end and is not accessible to anyone at Apple—but you have to take Apple's word for that.
A more comprehensive solution, and one that doesn't raise any privacy issues, is to set up an OS X Server on your network and create mobile accounts on your other Macs. You will then be able to synchronize all files in the home folder automatically at logout, or at any other time manually. The main drawback here is that OS X Server would be hard for most non-technical users to set up and maintain. Another is that the synchronization only works with Macs, not mobile devices.
Third-party software such as Unison can also be used to synchronize files over a network. Unison is free, but it's not easy to set up in a way that doesn't lead to conflicts when files are modified on different devices between synchronizations. To synchronize more than two Macs in this way, you'll want to use one as the master, and sync between it and the others.

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!

Creative Cloud Student, can I use one membership on my laptop and desktop (two machines)?

Hi,
I currently have a macbook and am subscribed to creative cloud (student). I am looking at buying a second machine (desktop) and want to know if I can use CC on two machines under my one membership? Obviously I am a single user and will not be using the two machines at the same time.

Two machines saving the same file as different sizes?

My coworker and I both have the same version of Illustratir (CS6) and both use Lion on iMacs, but today noticed something weird. He saved a file similar to a file I had done before as both an eps and a pdf and his file size was more than twice what my file sizes usually are. I thought it was odd, so I copied everything from his file into a new file (same dimensions) and saved out an eps and pdf (default settings), and like I thought, my files were less than half the size of his.
Why would two machines be saving identical files at different sizes? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Everything in the file is vector, if it matters. There's not even any editable text.

See the mechanism of saving here: http://superuser.com/questions/66825/what-is-the-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk
The size of the "blocks" depends on the size of the disk and how it's been formatted.

How to work on the same project on two machines at the same time and also exchange progress seamlessly using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014?

We are working on a film project on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. Two editors are working on the same film project (same pproj file ) on two machines. As a result the bin structure and the file structure is exactly the same. We even bought two licenses for the respective machines to make matters simple (at least we thought it would).
Now when we share a sequence between the two machines, every time we have to import and re-link media. Also each sequence import comes with its own set of files, which are actually already present in the project. Basically the new sequences are looking to re-link the media to the original/ source files only and are completely ignoring the file structure present in the project.
In all editing softwares, timeline/ sequence sharing is a very common practise when working on multiple machines. Why is it so tedious in CC 2014? Every time we share a sequence between the two machines the media gets doubled and tripled in the project. As a result the project file size is increasing perpetually. Already Premiere CC 2014 is extremely laggy and slow, and this stupid bug is making it more difficult for us to finish our work on time.
Has anybody ever faced this issue? How do we solve it? We are willing to try out any workflow that you can suggest.

Concurrently working on the same project it requires a specific implementation in all editing programs like Avid's Unity/ ISIS shared storage. That's what you are simply not considering. none of your issues would be any problem if your projects resided on a commonly accessed server or something like that. Check respective hardware solutions.

Migrate 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 between two machines

on linux rh 7, I have installed 8.1.7. On another machine I have a database called chem on 8.1.6.
How do I export the table structure from 8.1.6 in an sql file that can be used to recreate my structure in the new version?
How do I EXPORT the data...will the file created by the export command in 8.1.6 be compatible with 8.1.7?
Is there a better way to do this?

I hate to answer my own question...
Upgrades of lower versions of Oracle to higher versions can be handled directly by the export/import. I found by going to the usenet oracle group, they had many posts which covered this issue.
If its not on the same machine, and you need to essentially copy you database from one to machine to the other, these are the steps:
1. In the lower version machine, execute an export. You can do this from the sql*plus prompt, or on many os's just type exp blah-blah, and you will have exported your database. These can be quite large files, and enterprise data could be in the multi-gigabyte size. Obviously, this can be an os issue.
2. On the other machine with the higher version, create the various empty tables and the same users for the database with the same name as the database on the older version.
3. Use the import command on the sql*plus or imp blah blah in some operating systems, and this will import your data into the new version of the database. Go have a cup of copy, because this is going to take awhile.
You can probably write a script to do this, but I couldn't find one anywhere...if anybody has one, please post it here.
A faster alternative would be to use jdbc/java and use metadata to create the new tables in the new database, and then use selects on one database, and inserts on another database to insert the data. This only works if the two machines are networked together.
The migration assistant seems to work only if the versions and databases are on the same machine.

Installed firefox on two machines and created sync account on one. The other one does not sync

I just freshly installed the latest Firefox on two machines. Created a new account on one of them and started to download some add-ons and changed the preferences, then got to the other and signed in. It finished syncing but none of my changes were applied to the second machine.

Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not.
These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.
Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.

WebLogic domain spread across two machines

Hi All,
I have a weblogic domain that spreads across two machines. First machine hosts the Admin server, (BAM , SOA) managed servers and the second machine hosts the (APPs and FIN) managed servers. As you can see the managed servers hosts different applications and not related with clustering. I want to know in such a setup do we need to have separate weblogic installation on both first and second machines or just have WebLogic installation on the first machine and have the second machine reference the first's WL installation.
What's the best practice.
Regards

I mean for a domain spread over two machines, I need to have weblogic installation on both machines and not just the one running admin server. I read somewhere WebLogic installations have 1 to N relation with domains. Seems like for a domain spread across two machines, two WL installations and two licences. Am I right?

Solaris Cluster - two machines - logical host

Good morning!
I am a complete dummie Solaris Cluster, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I need to create a cluster and install an application:
I have two V440, with Solaris 10;
I need to put the two machines in the cluster;
I have CE0 of each of the machines plugged into the network;
I have CE1 and CE2 of each machine connected together via a crossover cable;
According to the documentation "Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Alliance Access" there are prerequisites (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19680-01/html/821-1547/ciajejfa.html) as creating HAstoragePlus , and logical host resource group;
Could anyone give me some tips on how to create this cluster and the prerequisites?

Hi,
a good source of information for the beginner is: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/how-to-install-two-node-cluster-166763.pdf
To create a highly available logical IP address just do
clrg create <name-for-resource-group>
clrslh create -g <name-for-resource-group> <name-of-ip-address> # This IP address should be available in /etc/hosts on both cluster nodes.
clrg online -M <name-for-resource-group>

Workflow with two machines

Just wondering how people out there manage working from two machines. I have an MBA that I take on the road and use when I'm sick of my office and want a change of scenery. And, I work on an iMac at my home office.
I'm new to Aperture, and am wondering how people work between a laptop and desktop. How do you sync up files? My MBA hard drive is obviously small, so I'd like to just just keep some core photos on it or maybe even just my most recent photos to work with along with a few older albums.
Any suggestions or techniques for workflow and syncing between machines?

Although various user workarounds exist, the issue of synching your laptop Library with your desktop Library has not (yet) been addressed by Apple. IMO Apple's failure (still) to address this key issue is a travesty; Apple's single-user Filemaker has had that capability since the 1980's.
I suggest going to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and requesting that Apple provide single-user synch capabilities for two Libraries (such as the laptop/desktop setups that you and I both have). Note that it is important to specify single-user, two-Libraries, because multi-user scenarios are entirely different solutions that - unlike single user solutions - are usually very complex and expensive.
Laptop drives are now available with up to 500 GB capacity, so you may want to consider upgrading the size of your internal laptop drive and using the removed stock drive for backup in an external case. In addition to added speed, the extra internal drive space can allow temporary internal storage of Referenced Masters while in the field if that is desired; or for help with whatever workaround Library-synch methodology is chosen.
Some workarounds include
• Exporting total projects that include Masters from your laptop Aperture for usage on your desktop Aperture.
• Keeping a single Aperture Library on a large external hard drive, and moving the external hard drive among computers. Obviously not ideal for portability, and substantial slowdown usually occurs because in most cases connection is by some method much slower than SATA. New Macbooks with their limitation to only USB are the worst.
I ask that Aperture users with two Macs go to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and advise Apple of our need for single-user synch of two Libraries.
Thanks!

Coherence includes a default configuration out-of-the-box that will connect any machines using that same configuration (e.g. if you launch the cache client or server scripts in the /bin folder they will detect each other automatically via multicast).

Normally Microsft allows the installation of their programs, except Operating Systems, to be installed on a desktop and notebook at the same time as long as both system are used exclusively by the same person and Not at the same time.
So this should also be true for MS Office for Mac. The only way to tell is to install it on the Mini and then use the same key to activate it. If the activation goes through you are fine. But if you run both system at the same time do not open any of the Office programs on both system at the same time. That may trigger MS to disallow one of the activations.
MS Office for both Mac and Windows checks the local network and logs into the MS activation site everytime one of the apps is started to check current activation and to check if you have it running on more then one computer on your local network using the same key.
