What do we know about MacOS X 10.4.4?

I just upgraded to MacOS X 10.4.4, and this is what happened so far:
1. MS Word (10.1.6) crashes on launch. Can only open Word by clicking on an old doc, and then proceed from there.
2. Upgraded GraphicConverter from 5.7.3 to 5.7.5. - 5.7.3 launches just fine. 5.7.5 can't find the licence key...
What's up?

Well..., yes, sort of; but I don't think it has any bearing on the problem:
When MS Office v. X started to 'quit unexpectedly' at start-up after upgrading to 10.4.4, I
1. deleted pref files
2. restored permissions.
When this didn't help, I deleted MS Office manually, i.e. not just the MS Office folder in the App folder, but all the stuff in ~/Library as well. I did not touch any font folders at that time.
I then reinstalled Office X and started upgrading with 10.1.2 & 10.1.6. To my great astonishment, these upgrades found other MS Office versions on my HD I didn't even know still existed, asking me which version to install to. I picked the version that was current. Completely shutting down the computer & restarting after 30 secs didn't fix the 'unexpectedly quit' message at start-up of MS Office.
Now I remembered that when I re-installed Office from the disk, I saw the 'Uninstall Office' app. This time I ran it, and it discovered Office 98, 2001, etc. were still on my HD. I asked to remove them all, and in turn, 'Office Removal' asked me whether to remove Fonts as well. Foolishly I said yes. HOWEVER, those fonts not emptied from the trash, I restored to the font folder (3 fonts).
That's it.
Cheers,
Klaus

  • What do you know about Kerio Mail?

    We were considering converting to a Kerio mail server program. Has anyone else used or using it? Anything we should know about?

    We are just now in the process of switching to Kerio from Tiger Server's postfix bundle. We have a large Open Directory network and we have about 20 different virtual mail domains. Apple's solution has been, well, not a joy to use and admin and we've had continued problems with SMTP queue lockups.
    What finally tipped the balance towards Kerio was our purchase of another company with 160 Exchange users. I need a server with some degree of Exchange-like functionality as well as Open Directory integration and good virtual domain support. Kerio seemed like a good solution.
    The first thing you need to know about Kerio is that Open Directory integration works very, very well - unless you need to break your directory users into separate domains in Kerio. Then it falls apart.
    What happens is that Kerio installs some schema extensions to Open Directory and stores user account data in those extensions. One of these bits of data is a flag that indicates to Kerio whether or not a user account has been activated in Kerio. What it fails to do is indicate which of Kerio's domains the user belongs to.
    The result is that all Open Directory-based users wind up being members of all of your mail domains since Kerio simply looks for activated members in the directory service.
    We worked on ways around this, including hacking OU support into Open Directory (at Kerio's suggestion - http://www.afp548.com/filemgmt_data/files/Customizing%20Open%20Directory.pdf), but nothing worked. In the end, Kerio admitted that this is a problem and escalated the ticket so that a fix should arrive in a future revision. A good result, I think, and nice to see a responsive software company.
    The result is that we now have to create local Kerio mail accounts, which is not really much of an issue since Kerio offers user templates. But what we've learned is that even without the direct Open Directory integration, we can still use Kerberos for authentication to the Open Directory accounts. This makes a big difference for us in security and user account management.
    One thing that is going to be tough as we roll Kerio out to more users this week is migrating messages and mailboxes from the Tiger Server mail system to Kerio. My contact at Kerio provided me with an unsupported perl script to move mailboxes and messages but it's not perfect. I moved a small domain last night (<10 users) and only one worked properly. The rest I had to move manually.
    My understanding is that the migration tool for Exchange users is much better and fully supported. We'll be looking to move our new batch of Exchange users in the next month or so and we'll see how well (or not) it works then.
    I've also not tested the Kerio Outlook Connector software but the ability for Kerio to masquerade as Exchange seems to work fine when syncing from Address Book.
    If you have mobile clients, look into the new 6.3 beta as they've included over-the-air syncing with ActiveSync clients and direct-push and remote wipe for Windows Mobile 2005 clients. <br>

  • What should I know about upgrading processors?

    I recently bought a 400 MHz Gigabit Ethernet on eBay (still hasn't come yet). I've looked into processor upgrades and know they can be done, but not how to tell which processors will be compatible. I want to say that the Gigabit' uses a ZIF socket, but I can't remember where I might have heard that. So, please tell me whatever I might need to know about processor upgrades.
    Also, can this unit take a second processor? I know other Gigabit Ethernets shipped with them, but the 400 MHz only shipped with one and I don't know if this one is actually capable of taking two. If it is, feel free to tell me what I could also need to know about that.

    OWC has a service where you can punch in your model and upgrades only for it show up.
    G4 Gigabit 400mz (2000). I bought an OWC 1GHz CPU from there for my G4 Gigabit. works great....it was a clearance item and I see they don't sell them anymore.

  • What should I know about the Trustor Rapport malware protection update?

    I received a message to allow update of something trustor rapport malware protection. I did not know if I had it or if I should allow it to update. Anyone know about this?

    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    5. And to protect against a recent variant, MacGuard.
    Before you delete anything, we need your help. Some AV folks in our community need to analyze these files in order to protect others. Before you delete anything please consider doing the following:   Upload either the original .zip file or the MacGuard application to http://www.VirusTotal.com.  If either is not detected by ClamXAV, then also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi.   If you are uncomfortable doing this for any reason and can determine the URL of the site where you got it please send the link to [email protected].
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.
    That most likely is just a rename of the trojan known as MacDefender. Do not download it or allow it access to your computer.

  • What should I know about transitioning from original iPad to New iPad?

    I'm about to set up my new iPad -- I have an old, first generation iPad. What do I need to know?

    What sort of thing do you want to know ? If you want the same content on the new iPad as you've got on the old one then copy all purchases off it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then do a backup (right-click the iPad device on the left-hand side of iTunes), and then restore that backup onto the new iPad (you will need to enter email, router and other passwords on the new iPad, the restore won't copy them onto it)

  • What do you know about GUS II compatibility?

    Eager to have an external GPU that works with my MacBook Air. I've read that MSI is developing the GUS II. It hasn't been released obviously, but I want to know your opinion about Apple supporting it; its benefits and limitations.
    Thank you.

    It's impossible to discuss the product intelligently since it's not shipping yet and MSI hasn't said anything further that I can find since the annoucement of the product at the CES in January. I don't believe they've even officially said that it will work with Mac OS X; they showed it only with Windows. We'll need to wait until it's available before anyone can offer more than guesswork based on what MSI has released in the way of information.
    Apple won't themselves support it at all, any more than they provide official support for any third-party product.
    Regards.

  • What should I know about the recent virus on apple products?

    To Whom can best help,
    I recently learned about the recent virus that infected more than 500000 computers.  I heard many talk about the software apple uses as the safest software available.  However, now that I own a few products from apple, this recent virus that got ahold of some personal information has me wondering what is the best route to protect cell phones, ipods, ipads,  and macbooks?  is there an AV recomended?  It would be great to get some adivce from apple techies. I tried looking up some information on the recent problem that had happened, I was hoping it would be addressed on the primary page of apple but found it wasn't.  I am just a little paranoid about people accessing my info and try my best to stay ahead of the virus/trojans and stuff.  for these electronics are there any really really amazing security apps people would recommend?
    sincerely, a concerned customer

    First, it's not a virus but a trojan. We mostly recommend ClamXav 2.2.4 as anti-virus software for OS X.
    Two Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
    A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
    The trojan attachs through Java. If you don't have Java installed then you won't be affected. Java is not installed with Lion.

  • Switching from pc to a MAC!! What should I know about iTunes switching??

  • What do you know about Parabola ?

    Hi to everyone:
    I found this distro based on Arch Linux.
    Somebody can talk us about it?.
    Share your experience/knowledge with us, please.

    Apparently it's working on MIPS support. Kind of interesting I suppose. Is that so it can be run on those Loongson CPUs like what Richard Stallman uses? Those things have 100% free software support, even at the BIOS level - which would seem to fit in well with the distro's aims.
    I don't really care about having a 100% free software system, but hey, if they get the MIPS support done and it will fit in 2MB of storage then maybe I'll install it on my ADSL modem

  • What does anyone know about Sophos antivirus?

    I Had a tech guy install it on my computer and my Mac desktop was so slow and I uninstalled it and was wondering about it

    Completely uninstall Sophos Antivirus.
    Commercial Antvirus solutions can negatively impact OS X performance and can cause other operational issues with OS X.
    http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119182.aspx
    Here my tidbit of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
    Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
    Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
    Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
    Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
    Java is still a vulnerability concern,  if you do not need it, don't use it.
    Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
    Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
    Install security updates when they become available
    Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
    In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
    Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
    If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
    ClamXAV

  • What should I know about getting my imac and powerbook repaired?

    Hello again,
    Just an update re my 2 computers. My macbook pro that refused to "wake up" or start has returned from apple and diagnosed as a problem with my "logic board" and has been returned repaired in warranty.
    My imac who exhibited the ticking sounds and eventual failure to start is getting the hard drive replaced. I am being charged for 2 hours labour which comes to $300 aud.
    Finally, while this is good news I am left feeling a bit uneasy. Can you advise me if 2 hours is an accurate time frame? And while I never save my passwords are they in there "somewhere?"
    Thanks again for everyone who advised me with the problems I have experienced! And the wireless network is going strong with my notebook and my partner's pc.
    Kind regards,
    Becky Bell

    Hello Becky,
    2 hours is a remarkable time to open up an iMac and replace a drive.
    The passwords are stored on the drive. I am sorry to tell you that they have gone with that drive.
    See here...
    I took my Mac apart
    For more on what was done to your Mac.
