Trying to download McAfee Software, Not supported???

McAfee found that your Operating System is a Unsupported Operating System You are attempting to download an Ubuntu Linux application to an operating system other than Ubuntu Linux.  To download this product, you must download from a computer using the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Why?

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 on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work 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” copies 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 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, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
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 the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • Tried to download evaluation software, not working

    After approximately a half an hour of downloading of NI LabVIEW Evaluation Software it faild to unzip, and I couldn't get it running.

    I just tried the same thing and it worked fine on my machine. Did you make sure you downloaded the correct version? I'm running Win 2000 and downloaded that version. You may also want to try reinstalling your zip utility. Maybe that's the problem.

    What I notice in the original post is this error
    ARP: address resolution for 10.0.0.2 timed out.
    which says that the router is looking for the 10.0.0.2 server but not getting response to its arp request. Can the original poster clarify for us how the device that has the image file is connected to the router that has the problem? Also what kind of device is 10.0.0.2? Is it a PC running TFTP server software or is it something else?

  • Veriface software not supported in g480

    veriface software not supported in g480.

    Sorry, I'm not really sure as to exactly which model
    I have. It's an iMac, 20-inch: 2GHz Intel Core Duo,
    if that helps.
    Yeah, that's what we need, that is the model. How much ram did you get? It could be that Diablo takes a lot of ram and you didn't get enough.
    My guess, though, is that it's a PowerPC version and not Universal.
    FYI, with the new Intel chips Apple moved to a new operating system and not all software has caught up to it yet. The Mac has something called Rosetta that allows you to run pre-Intel apps, called PowerPC. The Intel versions are called Universal and have a yin/yang symbol in 2 shades of blue.
    Rosetta is an emulator, which means you are basically running an application inside another application. This is never perfect and causes slowdowns other problems especially with hi tech games. It could be a fundamental conflict that you can't resolve until Diablo comes out with a Universal version.
    You can try searching their web site to see if you can download such a version or find out when they will have one. Or do web searches on Diablo for Mac Universal and see if you can find any info.

  • I'm trying to download security software and it won't download. When I click the icon " if your download doesn't start click here", nothing still happens.

    I'm trying to download security software for my Mac Pro and it won't download. Even when I click the icon that says "if your download doesn't start click here" and still nothing happens. I have tried different types of software and nothing will download.

    Are you not able to download anything at all?
    I don't know what "security software" you're trying to download, but the chances are overwhelmingly good that you don't need it, and it's likely to do more harm than good.

    I have a W2K3  server where the volume is. It's a new Mac with OSX 10.8 and is connecting with AFP (I don’t want to move to SMB yet). There are older Macs with lower OS and all of them work fine. I have checked all the basic stuff and it is set-up correctly (hosts file on Mac, network, etc.).

  • Fix for "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."

    Like many of you, I experienced the following problem with Lion:
    "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
    I googled and found a workaround for that. It worked for me, maybe worth a try:

    Koos

    Same problem here, and the above fixes do not work. I'm running 10.7.5, and the defaults write commands do not appear to work: the plist reverts to its default state after each connection attempt.
    I can confirm that the correct values are entered in the plist immediately after performing the defauts write commands (while logged in as root) described in those links, by opening the plist file in xcode. But regardless of rebooting or not, the file immediately reverts to its default values as soon as an afp connection is made. Extremely frustrating. The "defaults write" simply doesn't stick.
    I desperately need to pull some data off of a Mac IIci that is running Shareway IP under System 7.5.5. This always worked seamlessly in 10.4 though 10.6: I really need a working solution for 10.7. Thanks for any help...

  • Problems trying to download iPod Software Update 2.0

    Ive been trying to download the software update for about 3 hours now, but about every 5 minutes or less i get a error saying:
    'There was a problem with the iPod software for the iPod "MyName iPod". The network connection timed out.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
    But, i'm having no problems whatsoever with my connection, it all seems perfectly fine to me.
    If anyone could help me at all with any settings that might be able to be changed or something or anything that could stop this message appearing so that my download will actually be able to get somewhere...
    Thanks x

    I am having this same issue trying to download the 1.1.5 update for my touch, it goes for a while then times out, over and over.
    Over the last 18 hours I have tried this update about 30 times and it has failed every time, never at the same point, it downloads a different amount every time but it always stops...
    No information from Apple on this issue ? Poor show, I would have expected better from the worlds best computer manufacturer, they give the impression that they think of everything but then it´s little things like this that let them down.

  • Getting error when trying to download deployed software package

    Hello all,  I have been struggling with this for almost two weeks and am about to give up.  The error I'm getting is when a client tries to download a deployed software package.  The software shows up in IE browser (servername\cmapplicationcatalog),
    but when I click install it errors out saying can't install or request software.  I am not a network guru and did not setup SCCM but need a little (maybe a lot) guidance.  I have looked at log files till my eyes are ready to fall out but just not
    sure what I am looking for.
    In ccmmessaging.log, I see this error "No reply message from Server. Server may be temporarily down or a transient network error"  and this after "http://servername/ccm_system/request failed
    with 0x8000000a"
    Here comes the weird part, I had this working, successfully deployed twice to two clients.  The next day I came in to work and it was broke.  I have no clue what could have changed over night to cause
    this issue.  If someone could maybe lend a hand troubleshooting, I would be most grateful. 
    Many thanks in advance!!

    As last time my phone had 4.2 and the desktop software was 4.1 it crashed the blackberry's software and i had to re-install. On T-Mobile site I did not find the 4.5 version for my 8700. I would however like to upgrade without the hassle of re-installing the entire thing again.
    Thanks.

    Hi...
    You can update your Desktop Manager to 4.5 or 4.6. You don't need to update your software on the Blackberry Handheld. Only if you want to use the newer features of the 4.5.0.81 which will work on the 8700g. If your carrier has not published the 4.5 Handheld OS, remember you will not get any support if you need to call your carriers Helpdesk and are running an OS that is currently not supported.
