Strange addys are popping up, replacing long-held bookmarks - like youtube defaulting to "Design a Website - Photo Folio" - help!

Certain regularly visited websites, like youtube.com or my home page, are instantly being defaulted to this website "Design a Website - Photo Folio". I type in youtube, but what pops up is this design site. This morning even my Foxfire home page is instantly defaulting to this website design company's page. I've checked all the Firefox Preference tabs, cleared my cache, cleared by history - same thing. Help!

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

After I installed Snow Leopard, the computer no longer recognizes my Olympus camera; I can't download my photos! Help!

My camera and Mac have always worked really well together, it was easy to download photos using both Photoshop and iPhoto. But I just upgraded to snow leopard and now the computer says it can't recognize the camera when I connect it to the computer to download photos. I updated the Olympus software, but it still isn't working. I take TONS of photos so this is a major problem. Woudl appreciate any help you can provide.

Does the camera mount on the desktop as a disc?
If so, double-click the icon and drag the pics to a folder on the Mac.
You should then be able to import them to iPhoto or whatever.
I don't have an Olympus, but all my Fuji and Pentax cameras have mounted perfectly well as a disc without using any software from either company.
Mind you, I don't use Image Capture, Photoshop or iPhoto to import anything directly; I want my pics in my filing system not someone else's idea of what it should be.

Hi Allan...
Will try to keep this short. Tried to respond yesterday...but message kept coming back as undeliverable.
I am in SW Louisiana.
Did some checking. Back in Sept of 2006, my screen went black and was experiencing some "popping sounds" prior to it going black. Took it to Baton Rouge (about a 2 hour drive) to CompUSA. They kept it a month and "repaired" it. If I do some serious looking in boxes of old receipt files, I may be able to find the receipt. (Kept receipts because we got flooded out by Katrina in the New Orleans area and was living with mother-in-law during repairs.)
Currently I have the same little problem described earlier to you...collapse to center and black screen for about 15 minutes. Once or twice daily. It has been consistant since first happening back in August...and usually daily when on the computer.
My computer is in the G84201xxxxx range and an eMac USB 2.0.
Saw the message to look at the ones on eBay. Saw a used computer lab one for about $150. May decide to buy it. (Am leery because I bought one some years ago that turned out to be stolen -- I had to give it up when a tech working on the screen saw the serial number from a list of stolen computers from a college computer lab.)
Basically, in your opinion, this problem that I am having will or will not get worse? Capicator problem or cable problem?
Am wondering if the fix done in '06 actually replaced the cable? and WHY I was not told of the recall problem at the time. I know that I had to pay well over $100 for the fix, whatever it was.
Anyway, I will call the 1-800 number this week but expect little or no assistance from them.
When experiencing the problem initially back in 2006, I called Apple tech support and they could do nothing for me and my problem? My extended warranty had run out and was no longer renewable. Strange, if there was a recall fix out there for the problem that I was having, nothing was told to me.
Anyway, thanks for your input!

Strange behavior in BI Publisher with long column names from BI Answers

Hello all!
I have created a BI Answers request with few calculated columns in form of
case when <condition> then <value if true> else <value if false> end
Then in BI Publisher Desktop designed a report ttemplate based on saved BI Answers request and noticed that for calculated columns their names look strange:
CASEWHEN_<condition>THEN...ELSE..._...END__
Some of the column names are about 100 characters long.
After running the report from Word found that for these "long length named columns" there's no data in the output.
Do someone else experience the same? Any workarounds?
Regards,
mr.maverick

This is because the length for the formula is restricted in publisher. you have to either reduce the size of the column name in answers or change the formula. another workaround is completely pasting the formula directly in the word template instead of placing the formula inside the form field. you can add maximum of 300 characters i guess. you can edit the formula for the form field in the form field options formuals menu.

How do I delete remembered user names that are outdated or no longer in use?

I have developed a long list of user names that pop up and are no longer in use when I go to sign into a web site. As the list gets longer I would like to have only the user names that are up to date and in use. I have not figured how to manage user names and how to delete ones no longer in use.

Strange Dialog boxes popping up

During the past several weeks I have been getting strange dialog boxes popping up on my desktop and all my efforts, including stripping out my hard drive and reinstalling a brand new version of Mac OS10.5.0 then upgrading to 10.5.6 via the combo download, has failed to cure the problems.
The first one is:
The application aosnotifyd quit unexpectedly
2008-12-31 17:51:59 +0700
EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
KERN PROTECTION FAILURE at
0x00000000000000005
Thread 0 Crashed
0 CFRetain + 36
1 CFDictionaryAddValue + 530
2 CFDictionaryCreate + 132
3 _CopyDevice Attributes + 618
4 _initializeServiceOnce + 148
5 main +622
6 start + 54
The others refer to GrowlMenu and GrowlHelper also quitting unexpectedly.
Can you advise what might be causing these and what might be done to solve the problem?
Many thanks
Roger

Hi Carolyn,
Many thanks for the prompt response. However, it is not a kernel panic as I have had several of these in 2007 which I have satisfactorily resolved.
No, the dialog box is not like that. I have been trying to get picture into the reply box (it's a .pdf file) but am unable to do so. The box is a white square with a yellow warning triangle sign with an exclamation mark followed underneath by the words as shown below :

4 _initializeServiceOnce + 148
5 main +622
6 start + 54
Underneath there are two buttons "Ignore" and "Report". The "Report" button reports the problem to Apple while the "Ignore" button dismisses the dialog box.
What I have done so far is:
1. Wiped my HDD clean and did a reinstall of OS 10.5.0 then upgraded to 10.5.6 followed by all the system ugrades from the Apple Update application.
2. Reinstalled all my apps and settings from my Time Machine backup.
3. From the OS10 startup disk, I repaired my permissions and the hard drive. No problems there.
4. Booted into terminal mode and ran the /sbin/fsck -fy check and no problems there either.
5. Checked the install disk that came with to computer but there is no extended hardware test suite on it (Go figure!) so I am unable to go that route.
Other than this, I do not see what I can do so any help you, or anyone else can give would be most appreciated.
Incidentally, in May 2008, I posted a question very similar to yours regarding the intermittent and unintended restart problems but, strangely, did not get one response.
Again, my sincere thanks and i look forward to receiving some more helpful advice.
Cheers
Roger

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

One POP email no longer working in Imail

I have two POP email accounts that have been working quite well on my MacBook for several months. About a week ago one of them stopped receiving emails. I have deleted the account and set it up again to no avail. If I check the account information it lists all the emails on the server. PLEASE help me figure this out. I can open it on my browser and the mail is being delivered just fine there - just not on my imail account. The two email accounts that I have are set up the same and only one is receiving mail. Thank you for any help!

Attached is a link that gives the settings for my web-based email http://help.securepaynet.net/article/4715
All settings on both email address are set the same in my Mac Mail. One is working the other is not. I am also receiving emails for both accounts on my blackberry. This is an Apple problem as there are many others that have reported the same problem on Apple's Support page. I have deleted and re-entered this email and still nothing. There are email messages that are listed on the server but are not being delivered to my email account. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

Not very helpful but I have the same issue. Plugging in and doing the update via. iTunes will probably work but I find that whole experience annoying (downloading apps not on the Mac, etc..)

I have songs on my computer that won't play because they need to be authorized. The e-mail that popped up is long forgotten. Help!

Hi,
you would need to file a service request with support and provide a test case for this problem to be analyzed by development. For this you need a support contract. Depending on the JDeveloper version you use, it may be that this old browser hasn't been tested. Also note that with 12c we probably start de-supporting old browsers like this.

Someone else's photos are popping up in my photo stream? Anybody else have a similar problem?

As the topic says. It's funny that after #theFappening Apple seems to have another problem with iCloud. The photos that are popping up have been taken with an iPhone 5S, I however have an iPhone 5 regular. There are always three photos. Whenever I check on the photos app there are new three photos, with the last ones disappearing. Very discomforting to think that somebody else might have my photos the same way.

Well, my apologies to Apple for saying they have an embarrassing glitch. It turns out the fault was on my end. What happened: a friend of mine (Windows PC owner) was unable to transfer his photos to his PC. He asked if he could use my Mac and transfer them via iPhoto. Of course I helped and even turned off my wifi, so that his photos wouldn't turn up in my photo stream. After we transferred and exported the pictures to a USB stick, I immediately deleted them from iPhoto, but it seems like a bunch of photos somehow still managed to get into my stream.
I just hope his dick doesn't pop up in my stream. Wouldn't want to have to explain that to my wife, as we are using an iPad at home which is connected to my stream as well.
