thankyou fortune

You can prevent folks from accessing your computer by only specifying a list of who can access (in the "Sharing" system preference). In addition, you can turn off file sharing in that control panel and folks will not show up in the "Shared" section in the Finder sidebar. As it currently is, unless folks have an account on your computer the only things they can access are public resources (your public folder should be teh only one). Limiting users to a list will prevent this public access, but folks will still show up in the sidebar because file sharing is still active. This doesnt mean they can access the computer, it just means they're present on the network.

Share Reflow work with people who don't have Adobe Creative Suite?

I see a question that was posted two years ago, but I was wondering if it was possible now to share my Reflow mockup with someone who doesn't have the software. I've tried to find a way to export a pdf, But the HTML doesnt export properly. Anyone know a way to share my Reflow work with people who don't have Adobe Creative Suite

Reflow document is essentially a HTML document, so if the HTML export doesnt work properly, it doesnt sound like it is set up right?

I hope you are correct. When I click on the Macintosh HD icon on my desk top the sidebar section that says shared shows the server I mentioned.
Just as I said.
If i click on that shared device it logs in as a guest unless I cancel that action.
No, it logs your computer into that server as a guest.
I never knowingly ok'ed sharing with another network or computer.
Perhaps not, but the printer is set up (possibly at manufacture) to offer services to computers on its network.
IF I click on the shared device to delete it a message says I cannot do that. Any thoughts?
It the device is still on your network and still offering services, it will be listed as available. If it leaves the network or stops offering services, it should leave the list of available servers.
I suppose it might be handy to have a "hide this server" or "pretend this server doesn't exist" button, but we don't have one.

HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I have recurring mail failures to people I don't know up to 1200/ day. I didn't send any email, is it a virus? How do I fix it? Thanks

How do I get rid of a what is causing over 1200 emails to be sent out to people I don't know and then bounce back to me as delivery failure?

HI Dawn ..
If you are using Mac Mail, go to the Mail menu bar, click Mailbox > Rebuild
The process can take several minutes...
Doubtful it's a virus. Malware could be an issue but ONLY if you click on any links provided in those emails.

Why did my contacts change to people I don't know?

I picked up my phone to make a call and found that all of my contacts had been replaced with people I did not know. I tried to restore from my iCloud, but that just wiped out my contacts on the cloud. I ended up resetting my phone and importing from a back up. As soon as I did a sync, I had both contact lists. I ended up deleting the unknown contacts by hand and re-syncing. Now, Pandora keeps deleting my stations and putting in Spanish stations. I'm worried I may have been hacked or someone is piggybacking on my account. Any ideas? - Thanks.

Help!(confused face) I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect

I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect. In VB.NET timers are how you move stuff, but it doesn't look like they are ideal for moving stuff in flash at all (really slow). I'm making a game in which you throw a ball around the screen. i am using a timer to get the ball to move. this doesn't work well for 2 reasons; 1: the ball jumps alot, and 2: the timer should eventually run out of time. If anyone can help, i'd be thrilled cus this is my first post here, so yeah

Timing for movement would be more often dealt with using something that operates at the frame rate of the file. The ENTER_FRAME event is usually selected for this purpose.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBall);
function moveBall(evt:Event):void {
// your positioning code
You could use a Timer to control when to stop the listener from being active.

Hi , i tried to update my i pad few days ago with the ios 6 and after that the ipad is not switching on anymore the screen only gives me a picture of connecting the wire with the labtop i did that hundred times with no response don't know what to do now m

hi,
fewq days ago i updated my i pad to ios 6 by connecting it to the labtop , since that time my i pad is dead it doesn't want to switch on anymore the only message i get on the screen is a picture of wire connection with i tunes tried to connecting it hundred times with the labtop but without any response don't know what to do

If force restarting doesnt work, and your computer cant recognize it, I would suggest bringing it to the genius bar at an apple store so they can run diagnostics. This seems to be the last step, because the issue seems pretty serious.
Hope this helps!

My location bar has been messed with and i don't know how to reverse it

I let my cousin use my computer, and she was playing on her IMVU game. She managed to install the IMVU Toolbar Addon, which i promptly deleted once she had left, however my location bar is now IMvU Themed, and i can't get rid of it.
Whenever I type anything in location bar, rather than going to the web adress, it searches it on an IMVU search engine, powered by google.
I've gone through all of the preference tabs, the tool tabs, and i don't know what i can do to get rid of it.

Bluetooth and network with other people I don't know...?

Hi, I am a recent convert to apple and I was just looking over my settings on my mac and noticed that there were two or three people on my network. I have no idea who these people are and my bluetooth was on so that I can send things to my cell phone. Should I be concerned about my privacy? I also turned off all the windows sharing and file sharing settings, but when the bluetooth was on - these unknown people (one name was Cat Hackman, not very reassuring) appeared again. I would really appreciate any feedback on my issue and any tips for a newbie with lovely mac computer that I really enjoy immensely.
imac 20 inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi, to answer Trevor's question tovex does appear as a blue ball in a box in the 'network' level. The ball is kinda greyed out not fully shaded like my 'servers' ball. However, when I press 'get info' on tovex it says it is an alias and also I am not allowed to make any changes.
To answer myhighway, under my system pref > network is shows my 'built in ethernet' as the active connection (green signal). The connection is through a cable modem. I have not installed bootcamp/windows
BTW there is a new person on there as well called 'fs 20 20's computer', this one just showed up when I turned on my mac today. They disappeared just now but they were on my system while I typed this post.
Any more help would be appreciated. Tammy

Today I found people with numbers I don't know in my Phonebook. They are all from two area codes where I don't know anyone; most seem to be related. Does this mean one of them has hacked me? What actions should I take? Delete them? Msg them? Report t

How could someone else's directory get into my phonebook? Someone's grandma, cousins, etc. got added to my phone's phonebook. If I delete each entry, does someone still have access to my phone in some way? How do I secure it from them?

That's very stange, MomRev. We need to get this figured out. Did you sync any new email accounts with your phone? Do you know who's contacts they are? Did this person use your device? Please provide me with a few more details.

Multiple problems with 80GB classic, don't know where to start.

Hey guys,
I got an Apple classic 80GB for my bday early August and lately i've been having so many problems i dont know where to start, i'll try to explain them as best as i can.
*problem 1:* Whenever i plug my iPod into my PC, it locks up the system for about 5 minutes, then comes up with an error box saying that 'There is a problem with your iPod yadda yadda restore etc'.
I proceed to restore the iPod, then once its restored and reconnects itself, it repeats the cycle by freezing then telling me to restore. The only way i can do a restore and have it not give me an error is if i reboot when it is disconnected.
*Problem 2:* When i finally get it up and ready to sync, i go to sync all my files (About 2000 songs). It gets to around the 1500 song mark then says there is an error and the iPod disconnects itself.
It then instantaneously reconnects itself and starts syncing from where it left off.
Once it has then sync'd all of the music ad tells me its ready to be ejected. I eject the iPod and disconnected it.
I then go into the iPod and it has no songs/videos/photos, yet it has still used up about 15gb. If i reconnect it, it will just sit there for 5 minutes not syncing, it will then randomly say the sync is done and it will eject itself.
FINALLY after all that i have my music on there
*Problem 3* Once the songs are on the iPod, it becomes insanely laggy. If i navigate to a song and press play, it will take about 10 seconds for the actual song to play. The delay is just as bad for next song, pause etc. Even using it in my cars head unit causes it to lag.
*Problem 4* If i do get a song playing after all that, about 1/5 songs will just randomly skip to the next song without letting it play through.
I have all the latest iTunes/Firmware/Drivers for everything on my PC and iPod.
I have sent it back to Apple for repair yet they could not find anything wrong (Yeah right :|)
If anyone out there could help me please, im at my wits end with this infernal machine.
Thankyou

*Outdated operating system:* Cant be, im running XP SP3 with the latest updates
*Computer needs updates:* I've got the latest drivers for all of my hardware, including BIOS
*Software interference:* THe only other program i have running in the background is Kaspersky Antivirus, but that is disabled when i try to sync
*Damaged Files* Possibly, i played through the album where it froze at and even reo-imported it, it seemed to play and import fine
*Unregistered .dll files (Windows):* Tried this fix, but it did the same problems as the original post. Such as freezing on a certain song, then reconnecting itself only to put the music on there, yet it is really laggy
*Damaged disk structure:* Tried this fix, didn't help
*Corrupt iPod photo Cache* I have never tried to put photos on it, so i dont see how this could be it.
*Lost connection:* Checked it, it's very firm and unlikely to come loose.
*Conflict with third-party hardware:* I dont have any connected, nor have i ever
*Bad hardware:* I tried it on all of my 8 USB drives. I dont use any hubs or firewire cards so this couldn't be it.
Also i forgot to add that 1/5 times i go to restore, it locks the computer up and windows gives me a 'delayed write failed' bubble
