Sophos AutoUpdate Status Window always "Downloading..." at 100%

Hello, Recently, the Sophos icon started showing it is downloading in my Mac's menu bar. The download icon shows a litle animation with an arrow pointing down. It has not stopped for quite some time now. When I choose the "Show AutoUpdate Window" option, I get a window titled "Sophos AutoUpdate Status" and it shows a download status bar that is all the way at 100%. I don't know if the file is being blocked, is stuck at some 99.9% download, or if there is something nafarious blocking the download. After checking the AutoUpdate preferences, nothing looks wrong (not that I know if it is right either). I did try setting it to use no proxy for an hour or so but that didn't seem to change anything. I am using a MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.4 and I do occassionally use various VPNs for work. Do you have any idea how to fix this and/or prevent it from happening in the future? I am hoping restarting the computer regularly is not the answer. Thanks.

Hey Billca,
One thing you could try would be to clear Autoupdate cache and force a new download. Steps to do that are listed below.
Also, if that doesn't help, can you take a look in the Log? You can access that by going into the Sophos Preferences > Logging > View Log contents. There may be some indication there that will help us figure out what's going on.
How to Clear Autoupdate cache and force a new download
Open Terminal from Spotlight:
Paste in the following command and press enter:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.sophos.sau/ ; /usr/bin/SophosUpdate
You will be prompted for your account password. Type the same one you use to unlock System Preferences panels etc. - the password will not appear on screen. Press enter once you have entered the password.
The command will clear all of the already downloaded files in the Sophos AutoUpdate cache and force a new download.

Task status window for downloading Windows support software is stalled at halfway done. What do I do?

I'm downloading the Windows software and it is stalled at the halfway point.

Assuming you need the BootCamp 5.Drivers
Just download and unzip the file at http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1638/en_US/BootCamp5.0.5033.zip which is Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
Burn the contents to a DVD or Flash Drive
Then insert the DVD or Flash Drive in Windows and run setup as an administrator.

I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC. I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card. I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader". Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog." I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos. Any suggestions?

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

Skype status is always available on windows, even ...

skype status is always available on windows, even after logging out. how to fix that?

Alright, so if you have tried the previous steps and it did not work, then let's try something else.
Do you have another account? If so: Sign into the other account and add yourself. Sign back into your own account and add your other account. Sign off your main account and sign onto your other account and check your online status. If you are still online, you may have followed the previous step improperly or someone may have hijacked your account via the P2P version of Skype (which you should change your password right away so that the other user will be logged out.)
That being said, you can also have a friend or family member who has you on their contact list call you to determine if the account rings after you knowingly disconnected everywhere. If it rings, someone running under the older protocol of Skype may be utilising your account without your notice (or your account has been hijacked.)
If, in any situation, you choose to call your own account after you're knowingly offline and someone you do not know answers your call, do not attempt to acquaint with the hijacker or unknown person on your own as it may not be the best course of action to take for recovering your account. Do not interact with those you do not know and simply hang up right away if you do not feel comfortable speaking with the unknown person.
So let me run down the steps for you:
Check what others see of you.
If others still see you online and you followed the previous post completely and it still occurs, change your password immediately. Someone could be using Skype's older protocol to get into your account. Changing your password will sign them off.
Should you choose to, you can have someone call the always available account and observe the response. If someone responds and you do not know them, do not attempt to get acquainted with them.
Hopefully, this time around, this solution should help you. I know it sounds complex, but if you're saying you've tried absolutely everything else, then maybe getting creative should be pretty interesting enough to work.

I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browsers, fire wall and virus protection off and also to download the trial of Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but result is every time same.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Is the "free" version of Sophos AntiVirus Home Edition worth downloading??

Is the Free Version of Sophos AntiVirus Home Edition worth downloading??

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware that affects an up-to-date Mac OS system takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav — nothing else.

When I try to import, I receive the following message: "An internal error has occurred: not enough memory". I always download my photos onto an external hard drive.

Yesterday,I downloaded an update for Lightroom 5. Now when I try to import, I receive the following message: "An internal error has occurred: not enough memory". The message comes up right after I click import, before I choose a file to upload.Here is the information I can think of that might be needed to answer this question:
- I always download my photos onto an external hard drive.It is about 10 % full.
- It says I have Lightroom 5.6 64 bit
- I am working from a newer laptop (Windows). The internal drive on the laptop has 289 gb and I am using 61 gb total memory.
- I have edited 2794 photos in Lightroom and it is all in one catalog.
- I did not have this problem until I made the update. I did have my first "bug" earlier this week when one of my photos had a line show up through the middle of it when I exported it. I was able to export it a second time without the line.
If there is more info. needed, let me know. I do photography as a hobby and know enough about Lightroom to edit out blemishes and adjust color balance, but not too much more, so forgive my ignorance if this is an obvious fix.
Sincerely,
Adrianne

Not Enough Memory typically refers to RAM. How much RAM do you have on your 64-bit OS computer? Do you have other programs running that may be using most of the memory?

Attachment Downloading in Mail - How do you know the status of the download

Hi,
I'm trying to send a keynote presentation from my iMac to my MacBook and it doesn't seem to be working. The attachment shows up in my email, I click on it, and it doesn't really do anything. Is there a way to check the status of the download, or clear all the downloads for mail? I think it's just the size of the file, because pages files work, and even very small keynote files, but not a 3 slide keynote presentation.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Brandon

Hi Brandon
If you want to know quite a lot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN
In short a Local Area Network is your network at home. Both your computers are somehow conncted to the internet. Most people don't want to afford seperate internet lines for each computer they own, so they build a LAN.
Many internet providers will give you a modem with more than one network port so you can plug in more than one computers. If there's only one port, most people connect a router to get more ports. If you have wireless at home, you also have a LAN.
Now to the better options: On both copmuters: Go to system preferences > Sharing. Enable File Sharing. To learn more about it, just click on the question mark button at the lower right.
After you did this, open a Finder window. In the sidebar there will be a new item: Shared. If you open the triangle you'll see the computer name of your other computer. This can take a few seconds to show up.
Now you just place the files you want to share in your Public folder so the other Mac can access it.

(I tryed PS and AI just now. the application manager installed 64bits PS and AI. Why it can't find a 64bit acrobat for me?!)

Acrobat runs as a 64-bit application on Mac. Acrobat on Windows is a 32-bit application that can run and has been tested on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 and 8, and Windows Server 2008 and 2012.

Page Count Missing From Print Job Status Window

When I print a multi-page document from TextEdit or AppleWorks, the Print Status window does not show the page count. Instead it always shows "Sheet 1 of 1".
Both TextEdit and AppleWorks show the document as having four pages. A print preview from AppleWorks confirms the document does have four pages. Yet when the document is printed the Print Status window continues to show only "Sheet 1 of 1" with no indication that the document actually has a total of four pages. Nor does it show which pages is currently printing.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. If I recall correctly, previous versions of Mac OS X showed both the total page count and the currently printing page number, which incremented as the job printed. As it is, there is no way to know the progress of a large print job.
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Could some check their print status window while a job is printing? Does it always show "Sheet 1 of 1" or does it show the page count that increments as the job prints?
Thanks.

How can I make the status bar always visible in safari?

How can I make the status bar always visible in safari? Even when I go to "View" and then select "show status bar," the status bar still disappears unless my cursor is hovering over it. I want to be able to see the time, battery life etc. while surfing the web in safari!

When Safari is in FullScreen mode, menu bar will be hidden.
Safari window to fit the screen?
Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Double arrows will appear. Drag it to resize the window to fit the screen.

Outlook connection status window explained

(this may be an already discussed topic, in that case feel free to answer with a hyperlink to another technet forum topic)
Dear all,
I am looking for a technet blog post, that explains all the tiny little details of the "Connection status" window, that is accessible if I CTRL+right click on the Outlook 2010 tray bar. I would like to receive some very professional and at
least Level 300 explanation of all the possible information visible in this troubleshooting window. Unfortunately there are hundreds of hits for this search term, I find it nearly impossible to find that single article that is right for me.

PS: I think my question wasnt posted in the best topic, I would like to ask an admin to move it into the proper category under Exchange server

Servername: pretty obvious :)
Type:
Directory => what is the server providding the answer to DSQUERY command / rpc proxy for authentification (therefore it is normal to see your exchange server when using outlook anywhere if you would use a direct mapi connection the "real"
DC/GC name would show). This one is normally there twice , once for GC once for DC.
Mail => you mailbox store server
Public folder => if you still have a public folder store, that will identify what is the PF you are connected to.
Interface: the local network interface used for the connection so either your wired connection or the wireless card
Conn: HTTPS or MAPI, if you are using Exchange 2013 you will always see HTTPS. for older version, MAPI can only be on the local network.
Status: current status of the connection type, you will see that changing if you start outlook /rpcdiag from at home.
req/fail: number of current request/number of current request failed
Avg Resp: delay of response (in ms) can be usefull to troubleshoot for long request (with exmon) or network bottleneck
Authn: NTLM, KERBEROS, certificate etc...
from the complet article about the change of outlook connectivity, here is also the explanation to the field that were not in previous outlook version (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/05/09/outlook-connectivity-with-mapi-over-http.aspx):
Field
Value
Protocol
HTTP (v/s RPC/HTTP for Outlook Anywhere)
Proxy Server
Empty
Server name
Actual server name (v/s GUID for Outlook Anywhere connections)
I hope that answer your question, however nowadays aside to check the current connection status of the client, you will get more usefull troubleshooting info from the exchange logs.

Eric

Adobe Download Assistant is downloading over 100%

Today morning the download reached the status of 100% but it didn't stop, it just keep going over 100% (at this point it is 103.18%) and the status massage is "Downloading 5,966MB-less than a minute". So what should I do?? please help...

This is a known issue on some systems. Nothing to worry. It may finish when it reaches 200%. if it doesn't, you may have to start over.

Apogee Dither in Logic 9: Should there be a status window that says "Dithering" and a progress bar like in Logic 8?

When I used Logic 8 there was a status window post bounce for the application of dithering from 24 to 16 bit. In Logic 9 there is not a status window: After the bounce it's done processing audio. I'm using the Apogee dither. Is this a change, i.e. can the dither be applied real-time or something else that I haven't considered, or is this an error? I've bounced a bunch of audio since I downloaded Logic 9 on a clean box, and it never shows a status window for the dither. I enjoy using a dither because I can hear a difference in quality in how the dither preserves some data from the 24 bit spectrum, instead of truncating ("removing," or "leaving out") the 24 bit data (I believe that it's the lower 8 bits that are truncated, if no dither is applied). I'd appreciate anyone who knows leaving a reply, because I'd hate to release audio and find out later that the quality bits were left out. Thanks!

This seems to be integrated into the bounce process. Try it out with a sine wave @ -80 dB or lower.
Best,
DaCaptain

Can Finder windows Always preview images? Can the Preview size be changed?

I would like to have my Finder windows always open so that when viewing a list of images and clicking on one, the preview is displayed as if the arrow has been clicked to open the preview.
How is that controlled?
Also, I was wondering if that preview size can change. I thought that if I increases the size of that 'cell' in the wondow that the preview would grow but that's not the case. Can I change the preview size?

It's not altogether clear to me exactly what you want, but if you open a folder of images and put the window into column view, you can drag the last preview column until it displays the maximum size preview of 255 pixels in width or height. However, not all thumbs are created equal, and not all will display at that maximum size, some are limited to the usual icon maximum of 128 pixels. Thus the jpegs I download from my camera will have a max of 128, but if I have opened and saved the image as a Photoshop file the max will be 255. Screenshots in png format also have the 255 maximum. Large jpegs I download (which do not have a custom thumb) will also display at the 255 max in Column view. Just depends on the file.
