Security Center has detected Malware on your computer!
Is this an apple update or virus? I received a gbn.upatenotice.aa stating WINDOWS REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION - URGENT SYSTEM SCAN NOTIFICATION! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!! ATTENTION! security center has detected malware on your computer! Affected Software: Apple Mac 10.6/10.5/10.4, Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP. They want you to click on the http://www.updatemn.com/ For the link to become active, please click on 'Add to contacts' skype button or type it in manually into your web browser!
I just downloaded skype Sunday. However I noticed about a week ago when I opened a itunes song the wrong song would play.
Any recommendations?
Thank You!
Fake alerts, fake clean up utilities, even fake look-alikes pretending to be a well-known product. Such as reported today on ZDnet:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/from-rogue-av-to-fake-disk-clean-up-utilities /7804?tag=mantle_skin;content
And they want you to be foolish and do something and install software (program, disable firewall, downloads 2nd item of malware) including ransomware or just crash the computer and hope it takes out the directory and more.
Sounds like Skype users might need some type of protection from scams, adware.
There are infected sites. For Firefox you can block javascript and minimize some of the adware/malware served (sql injection has been around for years now).
A site can see your IP address, OS, etc and there are or is one or two adware attacks that have a Mac component to them. But rare.

IPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library, multiple iPhoto users
We have a MBAir with OS X 10.8.4.
We are two users of the same computer with 2 different user profiles. Our user profiles, imessage - facetime accounts, even system languages are different.
However, we want to use the same iPhoto library, therefore I've created a diskimage and had both users' iphoto addressed to the same iPhoto library which works. Both users can make changes in the iphoto library and the other user will see the last updated version when he logs in.
...however, we come up with 2 error messages. Not always, but very frequently.
1- "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.
Please click repair to avoid any potantial problems."
When I received htis error message, I clicked repair for a couple of times, but the error message comes up again and the repair takes very very long time. So I don't click repair button anymore. I don't know what it repairs.
2- "Insufficient disk space, iphoto cannot import your photos... "
This error may appear 1 time and when I click o.k. it just disappears and I can work on iPhoto as I want.
Sometimes, it keeps nagging 3-5 times and then dissappears after clicking O.K. everytime.
And sometimes it keeps appearing endlessly, every time after clicking o.k.
MBA has 512 GB storage where 300 GB is empty, so there is sufficient disk space, that's for sure.
I can imagine that this problem probably occurs because both accounts have its own PhotoStream linked to iPhoto (from mobile devices) ,and both accounts keep importing the Photo stream photos but I'm sure that there should be a fix to it.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could help, it's quite frustrating.Where is the disk image located? How big is the library as reported by the Finder? Although using a disk image is one of the methods suggested for sharing a library between users on the same Mac, it's been a problem for many. How much free space do you have in the disk image.
I'm thinking this workaround would work better for you: partiton the HD to give a volume just for the library that both user accounts can access. Set it to have enought room for your library to grow. But don't let your boot volume go betlow 10-15 GB free space.
Have that library volume set as shown below and to ignore ownership:
Are both users have their own iCloud account or are they using the same account? I would think it would have to be the same account because a library can only sync to one account. Therefore I don't think the PS syncing would be involved.
Another option would be to use an external HD. Some are as small as a mouse: OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 & 2.0 / FireWire 800, and 2.5" SATA Portable External Hard Drive & SSD and are powered by the Mac.

Can anyone help me. I have iPhoto 9.2 and Mac OS X 10.7.2.
Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem. I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin". Does this help with an answer?I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.
I hope someone can help I'm out of ideas now. Everytime I open iPhoto im faced with a dialog box saying "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library" "Click repair to avoid problems." This has no effect all my pictures seem to be there and all their data like location and faces. its just annoying every time i open iphoto. I've tried the Repair had no joy with that. Also tried the iphoto in built rebuild manager still aint having it.
Please Help
Many Thanks Baz1. Mak a back up. This is vital. Don't skip this step.
2.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library.
After upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1 and after reconnecting most of my files I keep receiving this message "Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library." upon opening Aperture. Because I had to reconnect all files and I had the projects split out according to different days (project, project 2, project 3, etc), I merged all split out projects each.
Now when I start Aperture, it 'repairs' the datbase, but several previously merged projects are again split.
Any suggestions to repair the repair process is much appreciatedsomething very strange happened:
after deleting all the sub projects and emptying the Aperture-trash, I quit aperture and restarted the program.
Again the message "Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library." appeared
repair... and then in the side-bar all previously deleted sub-projects reappeared, but now together with the other 'previously-deleted--sub-projects' and they were visiblie again as empty black boxes in the main viewer window when clicking on the side bar on <Projects>.
Deleting them, emptying trash, quitting Aperture and restarting Aperture gives again the warning followed by repair process
and the previously deleted sub-projects are there again! -
"Detecting Java on your computer" spins forever
Hi,
Win 7 32 bit / IE 9 / Clean install - wiped the hard drive and started fresh
Installed Java 7 update 10 (1.7.0_10-b18, according to the control panel Java applet) from java.com, without any errors.
When I go into the Verifying Installation page, the "Detecting Java on your computer" applet spins forever.
Removed Java, reinstalled, restarted the browser & computer multiple times, same result.
Tried it an another PC, also Win 7 32 bit / IE 9 / Clean install - same result.
What's going on?
Thanks

ITunes has detected problems with your audio configuration
Hi there!
I recently had to reformat my PC after problems with Windows 8.1, 64 bit version.
I have just reinstalled iTunes and now I am getting an error: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio / Video playback may not operate properly."
I looked at other posts concerning this issue. In the most recent post, the poster was able to resolve the issue himself, but wasn't sure how he did it, and the older posts were archived and I could not access them.
Didn't have this issue prior to the re-formatting and reinstallation, so not clear what to do.
Please assist.
Thank you!P.S. I am able to hear sound out of my speakers, so I don't think it's a problem with the speakers or the sound card.

A bogus "Apple Security Center" has taken over my Firefox browser
I was using the Firefox browser on my Apple computer and had just used Google to look up someone on the web, and suddenly a message appeared that I had a serious security problem and started to do a scan of my system, even though I didn't request it and didn't click on anything. I couldn't close the web page, and couldn't close Firefox, and couldn't even shut down the computer on the Apple menu. I had to force the computer to shut down using the start key. Every time I restart and try to use Firefox I get the same problem. I'm now on Safari. Help!
See:

SYSTEM REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
ATTENTION ! Security Center has detected
malware on your computer !
Affected Software:
Apple Macintosh 10.6 Snow Leopard
Apple Macintosh 10.5 Leopard
Apple Macintosh 10.4 Tiger
Microsoft Windows 7
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows XP
Impact of Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution / Virus Infection /
Unexpected shutdowns
Recommendation: Users running vulnerable version should install a repair utility immediately
Your system IS affected, download the patch from the address below !
Failure to do so may result in severe computer malfunction.
http://www.updatemx.com/It's absolutely a scam, attached to some other web site (sometimes without the site's knowledge, sometimes with permission) designed to panic people into running their "free" software, which in actuality is malware in and of itself. This "antivirus" fictitiously reports "viruses" which only the scammer's paid software can "remove". All that paid sofware does is turn off the fictitious notice, until such time as the scammers want you to have to purchase an "update" for "new viruses".
Ignore any such notices you receive. Nothing is wrong with your computer. DO NOT fall for these scams, even if you run a Mac (I've only seen this malware for Windows, but it's best to be safe; they may figure out a version for Mac OS X).

Keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild
while adding photos to library keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild the library..how do I fix?
By rebuilding your library.
Back up your iPhoto library before you do that.
If iPhoto is open, quit it.
Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).
The Photo Library First Aid window opens.
Click "Rebuild database" and click the "rebuild" button.
If this does not solve the problem, see "option 2" in Terence Devlin's post here:
Re: i keep getting the message iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library but after repairing it it just quits

Aperture has detected inconsistencies....
Ok Hi..
I started using the aperture on s/leopard ..now using lion.
I imported the photos and placed into projects.No problems.As i had limited space on my hard drive, i saved to external drive.It stores in folder called Aperture and sub name when inside is..Aperture Library.aplibrary.
Now...the other day, half way through importing some photos, we had a power cut.When i went back into aperture and now every time, it states Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library.Please click repair to avoid potential problems.I click repair, it states its repairing the library.After 100%it goes in.Half way down the library albums it has a file recovered folder and then inside that recovered project.But there is nothing inside.It does same every time whether or not i cancel or repair.I dlete both, but every time i re visit...message comes up .
Now like I photo, i like to keep copy on anothe drive,so i drag and drop onto another drive
as i am transferring over stuff...it states, there is already a file called aperture etc....but there isn't one there.
Any thoughts please?Clem/Marc
First of all thanks guys for responding.Assuming that you are all still in bed over there, im just off to work so will give you up date.
I did as Marc suggested, and being pretty new to mac from windows...i did the verify and repair and this actually sorted out quite a few old issues i had( thanks Marc)Anyway, having done that i then got into my current version of Aperture which was 3.2.3 and no issues...so cheers on that.
I then downloaded the update for 3.3.
When i went to install/start up, it stated that if i tried to start in the original location,it stated the library"apertue library" is open in null..to open this library in aperture you must quit null..got to step one of ten 43%.
Anyway...it let me install into new location.
How do I import my projects from the previous 3.2.3 version to the newly installed 3.3 version...
None of which is a major issue as i have only just started to yranfser over from Iphoto
Many thanks again in advance...oh and i have 1 TB free space on my External Clem thanks -
Iphoto says it has detected inconsistancies in library What should I do?
iphoto says "iphoto has detected inconsistancies in your libray" I click repair and then it happens again a few hours later.
What does this mean? What should I do?What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

TD
