What can I use to clean Mac Bugs that live on my PC?
Hi,
I get these bugs from the MAC and I cannot delete them on the PC :
.Spotlight,
.Trashes,
.Spotlight-V100
Spotlight-V100
is there free ware or share ware apps to clean them on the PC.

Alright, so I've been working with Samba today, and I believe I have it working properly. However, I can't seem to access any shared files/folders on machines that have Vista on them.
When I run smbtree, I get this output:
\\HOMEMEDIA
\\WINXPCOMP
\\VISTACOMP1
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:445
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:139
cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP1<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\VISTACOMP2
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.105:445
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.105:139
cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\WIN7PC
I'm not really sure what to do here. I've tried changing around settings in the smb.conf file, but I'm not really sure what exactly it is that I'm doing for every option. Also, smbtree sometimes won't output a tree at all and it will just hang. I'm quite confused, any suggestions on what I should try?
Also, one of my Windows 7 PCs won't show up on smbtree. I can ping it though...maybe it's not on the right workgroup?
EDIT: I was able to fix the problem with my second Windows 7 computer, apparently I had to change from 128-bit encryption to 40/56 bit encryption, then smbtree was able to pick up on it.

What can I use to clean the 5g's included Apple slip/case?
I've had it for 48 hours and it is already pretty dirty.
What can I use to clean it?
It is safe to throw it in the washing machine?
lol, I never thought I'd be asking for washing instructions on this forum. (Or any for that matter)
* New from Apple... the iSpin Washing Machine *at the moment it is all i've got.
i am going overseas in 3 days and don't have time to order a case from the internet, and the shops don't carry them yet.
i'll try and pick one up when I am travelling, but for now this is all I can use.
How do I clean it? -

You could use LibreOffice which is a free open source Office clone. The only downside is that by default it ddoesn't save in Office formats, you have to specifically choose that option. GoogleDocs is another free Office like product.

What can I use on Firefox 5 now that FoxTab won't work
Well, first you could try the latest version. For some reason, it hasn't yet pushed onto the main page for FoxTab:

If that doesn't work well, which features do you want to replace? -
My macbook is infected, adware, spyware, and malware. What can i use to clean it?
What software can I use to clean and protect from adware, spyware and malware?
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
What software can I use to clean and protect from adware, spyware and malware?
Avoid all non-Apple products claiming to "clean" or "protect" your Mac. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it. The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -

I want to submit a grant application at Pepsi refresh, however they recommend Firefox 3, 3.5 or 4 - not 3.6, which is what I'm using on my Mac 10.4.11. Can I download another version of Firefox so I can apply for this grant? How can I do this?
If you want to add a new user-agent into User Agent Switcher, you go into preferences > New. Most of the blanks are filled in already, so just change the Mozilla revision number that will be at the end of the User Agent line. To fake 3.5.19, just change rv:1.9.2.19 to rv:1.9.1.19. For the description, put in "Firefox 3.5.19".

If i wanted to connect an external hard drive to my iPad, what can I use? Or would I have to purchase a Mac mini?
Sorry, I DO NOT RECOMMEND the camera connection kit for what you are asking!
I was trying to say that as I have the connection kit (bought for camera use so no loss for me)
I often WISH it could do more.
So sorry for the confusion.
The camera connection kit only allows you to send photos and video (that are correctly formatted I might add) to the photos app.
Other people have had success with it connecting to keyboards, but that us not so useful. -
What photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?
what photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?
What do you mean by photo gallery? Are you referring to what version of the iPhoto application? What version came with your iMac?
iPhoto 8.1.2 would be a good choice for that system and limited amount of memory. It comes on the iLife 09 disc which is available from 3rd party vendors like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
If you can add memory to your iMac do so. Increasing memory to 4 GB will do wonders for the speed of the system and applications.
