Something called "network" in Finder

There's something called "Network" showing up in Finder that I never saw before in My Computer, no info, no ability to move, etc.

This is a normal thing to see. Network is a visual to show other computers connected to your Mac. If you are sharing over a LAN it will appear in Finder. If you are not connected to any other devices and you don't wish to see it in Finder, open Finder Preferences, Sidebar and deselect the Device that shows your computer. This will remove it from the sidebar and the Network icon also.

In Finder something called 'vuuno' has suddenly appeared under Shared. I didn't knowingly connect and want to remove. Worried I've been hacked or something. What is this and how to remove permanently?

If you are using an unsecured or shared wireless network, then it could be just another user's computer name. If your sharing settings are correct, you have no worry. However, It would appear that at least some of the other user's settings are less than optimal inasmuch as his/hers is openly being displayed.
The next time you check into a hotel and use their wireless network, you are likely to see a number of other user's computers. Some just the name, as they share no files. While others are wide open, and their file sharing is on.

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge. However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge. I downloaded this. The instructions say :Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions. However there is noplace on my Macbook Air running Yosemetie that has this /Library/Applications SUpport/Bridge CC Extensions. Can anyone advise?

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

I have a MacBookPro, Mac OS X 10.6.7 - just had something called mountos.hfsguyFU' what is this? And what program/s would run this. I am not on any type of network. I have a wireless modem all password protected as well as my Powerbook. I have all sharing off on my Powerbook. Any info. is helpful. Thanks!
Lisa :O)

Usually my first stop would be a search engine - no hits.
Second, ask in MacBook Pro and Snow Leopard forums.
I'm sure you have good reason to use Intego, but I stopped after feeding their coffers.
Maybe mountos.hfsguy is something from 3rd party driver or software for an external drive - though you really should not be installing anything from WD or Seagate type external drive cases.
And if you have Windows on your MacBook Pro maybe Intego is scanning that. AppleHFS.sys is what Boot Camp uses to read HFS from Windows.

My 500gb mac mini disk has 2mg available because something called "backup" is using 451 gb. I can't find where to delete this backup?

My 500gb mac mini disk space is being used by something called "backup" (451gb). I have nothing left to work with. I can't find where this file(s) is so I can delete it.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I recently updated Firefox and something called Fantistic Games has taken over my homepage and I can't get rid of it.

I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

This is embarrassing. It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
Did this fix the problem? Let us know!

It's adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover that specific type of adware, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Network in Finder vs Connect To

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if there was any reason why I can go Finder > Connect To Server and then connect to the server, however in Finder > Network - that computer doesn't show up. I have my Rev C 2.1ghz iMac G5 as our base station at home, a G4 iBook and 2 PC's with wireless cards.
On the iBook, in Network in the finder, you can see "Leighton-iMacG5", "Leighton-Pc", "Mum-Pc". On my iMac I can see "Monique-iBookG4". Well let me say that again. Now you can't see "leighton-iMacG5" on the iBook, yet I can see the iBOok from my iMac.
The printer is connected to mums PC, so "Monique-iBookG4" can print to it seeing as it is shown in the Network in finder. However I can't connect/print to the printer!
Is there some setting or something as to why I can't see "Mum-Pc" and "Leighton-Pc"? I'm pretty new to macs, and this is confuzing the heck outa me!
Thanks
- leighton
I originally posted this here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=409048&tstart=0, however I the problem hasn't been fixed. I still can't see Mum-Pc and Leighton-Pc, which means that I can't print from my iMac, which just *****! Any ideas guys?
Thanks heaps!

What's wrong with using the "Connect To Server" option? Once you are connected you can drag an alias of the location to your desktop (or wherever you choose) and just use the alias from there on out. If the other computers are password protected just save the password(s) in the keychain in the logon window.
I have had the same inconsistencies in using the Finder->Network, so I just use aliases for locations I go to frequently.

I by accident downloaded something call geniel. How can I get rid of it?

I by accident downloaded something call geniel. How can I get rid of it?

You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Reset Search.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

I have Photoshop CS, purchased many years ago for a LOT of money. Other day went to use it, got msg. "computer configuration changed, need to re-activate. Tried that for days, didn't work. Cannot call ANYONE to find out problem. Am not very computer literate, so don't understand what that means. LOVE the CS program and know how to use it, so don't want to have to learn something new. Don't know what to do. Went to all the big name stores and no one can tell me anything, like what happened to CS or what is replacing it that is the same as CS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Yep. That's the one. Make sure to use the supplied key on the download page, not your old one.
Good luck.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

I can not remove something called Sendori.

I have something called Sendori that will correct misspelled web pages. It's help site says to go to control panel add or remove programs and pick uninstall. The program does not show up in the list. When I search my entire computer from the search window in "start" it does not find any thing either. This is the link for misspelled "tigardirect" instead of "tigerdirect". Your help site does not have any entries for "sendori" either. Thanks for all help. I am using Firefox 5.0.

This might also be your ISP's way of protecting you from mistyping. If it is try to change your DNS servers to googles dns servers. I had the same thing happen to me and it was just the ISP.

Possibly something you consented to install with some free program. Or a virus.
Google doesn't pick the name up, are you sure you didn't make a typo? If you're really interested, you could try to find the add-on's files in your profile (see [[Profiles]], then "extensions" folder, then the folder with install.rdf file inside containing the name you see in the add-ons window) and check its source or post it somewhere and try to get someone to look at it.

Suspicious site under network in finder

Hi,
I upgraded to Snow Leopard v10.6.1 just today. I noticed that under network in Finder, there's a website address that never used to come before. I'm wondering whether this is a virus or something like that. See the screenshot below. The addresses keep changing. I've seen 2 so far:
"ad.in.doubleclick.net" and "pixel.quantserve.com"
http://img.skitch.com/20090927-c5mar28dgedenfgigxa448x6q1.jpg

These are ad sites that you can safely ignore or delete. They may reappear from time to time when you have Safari or other browser open because they are widely used to deliver web page advertising.
