Unwanted DNS numbers listed - is my computer infected?

Hi,
Since yesterday my internet browser is redirecting me to some websites I don't want to go to. I did some research on my computer and is listing 2 DNS numbers that are different to the one I used to have, and if I renew my DHCP lease sometimes it changes those number for my normal one, but after saving the new settings and going back the two 'illegal' number are there. And because they are un-selectable, I cannot remove them. Is this mean that my computer is infected? How can I fix this and remove the files were installed on my computer that give these numbers?
I checked this issue and for PC appear to be as a hijack or infection issue. Will this be the same case for Mac?
Thanks

I have all my devices connected to iCloud. I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer. How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

Can an unwanted free virus scan harm my computer?

Hi,
Recently I was doing a google search and I clicked a link that appeared harmless, but as soon as I clicked it, the address immediately changed to something else and the website it took me to automatically began scanning (supposedly) my computer for viruses. I couldn't stop it and I couldn't close Safari, so I just shut down my computer. I can't remember what the site was or what I was even searching for, but can a site actually scan your computer without your consent, and if so, can it deposit a trojan or compromise my security in any way?
Thanks!

Hi LB,
Naw, you did good, you really have to install something & give an Admin PW to actually get infected.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

Plug-in for bullets and numbered lists in Mail??

Does anyone know of any plug-ins for the Mail app to do bullets and numbered lists like Entourage??
The lack of this functionality really makes Mail kinda lame and unusable for me.
Thanks!

Paul,
the fact that Mail does not support bullit lists is not an oversight but was done on purpose. It may look good on your computer when you compose the message, but you have little influence in the way recipients see that message. It can get very messy, I can assure you.
If you want a perfect layout, compose in a wordprocessor and save as PDF, send that as an attachment.

My FlashDrive is no longer listed under my Computer, nor does its LED light once plugged in to a USB port.

Hi,
The FlashDrive was listed under my Computer once plugged in to a USB port of either a computer of mine.
It was working well yesterday with all my Computers, HP laptop with a USB 3.0, 2.0.(Windows 7 64Bit), and with my Desktop Computer with P 4(Two operating systems: Windows XP SP3 32Bit, and Windows XP SP2 32Bit ) with a USB 2.0, and with my P3 with a USB 1.0(Windows
XP SP132Bit) . However, today, it wasn't detected at all when I tried plugging it in to a USB 2.0 port located on the in front of my Desktop Computer P 4 in both Windows XP SP3 32Bit, and Windows XP SP2 32Bit in return. Once FlashDrive got
plugged to that USB 2.0, I have noticed that notification 'a new hardware was unable to be detected well'. As a result, it was not shown in the Computer place. Thus, I tried plugging it in to the USB2.0 located on the back of the computer, on which was
working well. However, this time was not detected at all. The FlashDrive was not detected at all. If it was detected, then it would be at least unallocated. However, even its LED didn't light at all once it got plugged in to a USB, although it was lighting.
I think there was virus corrupted it.
I don't care about that drive if it was corrupted or not as much as I care about the data inside it. Thus, Could you please at least let me know how to recover the data inside it?
My FlashDrive is ADATA 2GB, it is about 5years old
Can I take apart it, and fix anything inside? I don't see any screws to be unscrewed?
I really contacted the ADATA, however, they said that the USB Flash Drive might be defective. However, they didn't suggest any solution to fix it.
Also, they suggested 'If you couldn't recovery it by software,please contact with your local store which can provide data recovery service.'
I would be saying that hte USB Flash Drive is no longer detected all once it plugged in to a USB. I.E. it seems as though it is not plugged in to a USB, although it is.
To only checked that the USBs ports are OK, I have plugged other USB Flash Drivers, and they worked well.
Thus, how to recovery data on a USB Flash Drive is not shown at all(i.e. as if it were not plugged to a USB.
That USB FlashDrive was detected and working well on my HP laptop with Windows 7(64Bit), and Desktop Computer P 3 with Windows XP SP1(32Bit)before plugging it in to P 4 with Windows XP SP2, and SP3.
It was also detected and working well while plugging into a USB 2.0 located on the back side of the P 4 Desktop Computer.
However, once it was plugged in to a USB 2.0 located on the front side of the P4 Desktop Computer . Then FlashDrive was not detected at all, and then became no longer detected when plugging in to the any USB on all Computers.
I don't know if the plugging it to that USB 2.0 located on the front side of the P 4 Computer, or there are some viruses on the P 4 made the USB Drive be infected and then, it became defective
How could I even recovery the data on the USB FlashDrive as long as there is no space(disk) shown at all once plugged in to the Computer.
Note, Those drive letters are for parition on the local hard drive, and on the external hard disk drive.
I think there is no way to recovery the data. As some people said drive is most likely dead, and will need to be replaced.' But I don't know why some people have suggested to recovery data on the Flash drive as long as they know
that drive is dead.
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Hey everyone -
Thanks for your suggestions.
David.Austin - yes, my power LED does not fluctuate, so I know the computer isn't sleeping, the display is just 'off'. I do have all my disks set to go to sleep. This is a recent problem - everything used to work just fine.
joejoe - I haven't yet tried zapping the PRAM (or NVRAM), but I give that a shot and reset the SMC (SMU) again. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to do a... re-install.
I'll report back with my results. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.
Agreed - there is something wrong with one of those two updates.

How do I get rid of multiple phone numbers listed in iMessage and Facetime?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 5 and also upgraded my husband to the iPhone 4. I had originally activated his phone under my Apple ID but have since gotten him his own Apple ID. The problem I am having is that I have both of our phone numbers listed under:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>You can be reached by iMessage at:
It then lists my number and his number. Does anybody know how to delete his number? He seems to be getting some of my messages and his number is also listed under my Facetime contact numbers.

basically, you have to backup your phone to your computer, restart it, and set up as a new one. then you can start fresh, but still keep all your data and contacts.

DNS Numbers

Which DNS numbers should i be using, 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 or 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

The first pair of servers you list belong to Verizon's DNS; the latter two are OpenDNS. Your question is not black and white; usually, you'll use your ISP's DNS, but you may get more reliable/faster results with other values. I use OpenDNS at several of my clients and have had good results with it.

Numbers-Auto Generating a numbered list in a column of cells

Having trouble creating an auto-generating numbered list in a single column. In text inspector I choose bullets>numbers>start at 1. The first cell is filled in with a "1", but when I hit return or down arrow the 1 disappears. If I go back and type a "1" again, two "1's" appear in the same cell. I'm trying to make a table with 250 rows. Not sure what I'm missing, as I'm new to iWork.

Numbers can fill a column or row of cells with a pattern. Type the first two numbers in the first two cells, select both cells, then click on the small circle at the lower right of the second cells & drag down to fill however many cells you want. You can see in this picture that it works for other patterns, not just consecutive numbers. I've also used it to fill across month names or dates.

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag Deb

Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

Several separate numbered lists in one text thread?

I'm working on a booklet in which there are several numbered list that are independent of each other.
How do I set the numbering options so that there would be one list
(eg. A paragraph style, which is numbered, and then, inside the paragraphs there would go an independent numbered list, that starts at nro: 1 as well)?
I’m working with Adobe InDesign CC 2014.
The situ at the moment is as shown in the picture below. Eg. the list in the view should be numbered 1,2,3... and not 1,1,1...
And the option "Restart Numbers at This Level After:..." is not abled.

you have to choose Continue from Previous Number
you have to change your Mode Start at in Continue from Previous Number

Numbered lists in text boxes automatically updating

I have seperate text boxes that are involved in numbered lists, and I want to be able to reorder the text boxes so that they automatically update the numbers within them. How do I do this?! As you can see when I move the text box containing 2.0 numbered list, the following numbers do not update. How do I create this updating numbered list in seperate text boxes?

If you mean the text function in the drawing toolbar, it isn't possible.
You should use frames.

How can I customize Microsoft Word Outline Numbered List Templates with AppleScript?

I wrote an applescript to set up a word document with the appropriate styles to give the document an academic setup, much like what Xelatex produces. This is a work in progress and I have a problem.
I have successfully applied the style changes to each Header and I have applied the desired outline numbered list template "list template 5 of list gallery 3", however I would like to add tab stops to each one in order to make each header look slick like in Latex.
To do what I want manually in Microsoft Word 2011 mac I would click Bullets and Numbering, customize, under text position i would check the tab stop box and put in some value (1 cm, for example)
The following is an approximation of the result of running this script on a document with headings 1-9 applied consequently to each line, respectively. Note how they are not even. I think this is an issue with the template, but I want to be able to run this script on any mac without extra template files.
1    Heading 1
1.1    Heading 2
1.1.1    Heading 3
1.1.1.1    Heading 4
1.1.1.1.1    Heading 5
1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 6
1.1.1.1.1.1.1        Heading 7
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Heading 8
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 9

I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and the other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a text it goes to both mine and my sons iphones. How do i delete his number from my phone.

I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers. Mine and my sons. How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.
