What is this virus and how to get rid of it
My laptop has had this strange system malfunction ever since I opened a bad video link. (And I know it's not an iMac, but I read that this would be a better forum for my problem, and I hope the system is the same.)
I'm not sure when this started happening, but Safari on my Macbook Pro will not let me enable my cookies.
I'm on OSX Version 10.7.5, if that helps.
Problems incude:
- Not being able to sign in to some pages ( Like Yahoo mail or Youtube etc. It always redirects me to the log in page again even though I've already logged in, although it says I haven't)
- Not being able to read some news sites
- Not being able to acess some specific sites
I'm assuming that all these problems are happening are because I cannot enable my cookies. If I'm wrong, please tell me otherwise.
I've tried clearing my cache, clearing my cookies, clearing my history, and turning my computer on and off multiple times to no avail.
The cookies option looks like this:
Block Cookies: [] From third parties and advertisers
[] Always
[x] Never
I've chosen the 'Never' Option, but it doesn't seem to register.
Would it be a good idea to buy an external hardrive, copy everything from this computer on to it, and then restarting my computer back to factory settings?
Your advice will be much appreciated.
My recommendation would be to open Safari, click on the word "Safari" in the upper left hand corner of the desktop in the Menu Bar, and click "Reset Safari". This will erase all non-original items and settings from Safari and return it to its Factory state. Let us know if that solves the problem.

Hello, I have un Ipod classic of 160GB. On my itunes it displays that I have 113gb of other that occupies my memories! what is this other and how I get rid of it?
"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by forum regular Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.

I have this question mark (?) in the upper left corner of my Finder windows. Anyone know what's up with that, what it might portend, and how to get rid of it?
Are you sure you have a PowerMac? They can't run Mac OS 10.6.8. Maybe a Mac Pro instead?
Can you post a screen shot of that portion of the screeen for us to review? Does the question mark replace the Apple that's at the left end of the menubar? -

Account Limit Reached what does that mean and how to get rid of it?
This cause me not to set up iCloud, so now what?I found this out on another thread
There is no solution. There are limits to how many iCloud accounts that a device can have activated. It doesn't matter that it was by a previosu owner, it's the device that matters. Everything you do using an iDevice is tied to it's ID number, even Mac computers. This applies to the Apple store as well as the app store and everything iCloud related. -

Icons in finder bar; what do they mean and how to get rid of them
Hi I notice these icons in my finder bar. I'm confused; what are they there for and how to get rid of them?
Thanks for the help!One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
"Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.Restore
Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
For Mac:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.

What does this message mean?
La connexion au serveur a échoué. Les URL de type "file" ne sont pas prises en compte.
thank you.Without more information, ie what were you trying to do when you got this message, it is very hard to answer your question. If you were trying to access a webpage it means the server the page is on had a problem. If you were doing something else please post back and someone may have the answer.

What is timeprofile calendar and how to get rid of it?
A "calendar" called timeprofile popped up on my calendar list. It seems to be related to my exchange account but it was never there before. I tried to delete it but I can't seem to be able to. What's worse, ical keeps trying to delete it and now I get repeated alerts asking me to either "retry", "revert to server" or "ignore". But no matter what I choose, it seems to try anyway and the alerts keep popping up all day long. It's driving me crazy! Help me at least kill the delete job.

I was unable to affect this problem in any way from my local machine. What appears to be happening is that the "TimeProfile" calendar has been exposed, but as a user you do not have any rights to delete it. When you try, it gets stuck in a loop that disallows even the syncing of new calendars.
To fix this: I had to log into office365 through the Outlook Web Client (outlook.office365.com) and add a new calendar entry to my main calendar. When iCal received the new calendar entry, it forgot about the attempt to delete the "TimeProfile" calendar and un-stuck itself.
To keep it fixed: I am not touching the "TimeProfile" calendar for any reason. Do not try to delete it again until someone figures out why it is visible and fixes it. I have a feeling it isn't supposed to be visible and a recent update to either end is making it so. If I had to guess, I'd say wait a month and the next whatever patch will clear it.
UPDATE: I tried this and so far it seems to be working. One note though, just in case. I have no idea if this is necessary or not but I made sure that Outlook wasn't open while I did this, just in case. I don't use the exchange calendar (although I can't keep others from sending invites to it), but I do use Outlook for my work email. I just wanted to make sure that iCal was the only app accessing my exchange account while I was trying the fix. Like others said, TimeProfile is still there but at least no more constant delete error pop-ups. -

I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" windown on my mac after closing Google Chrome or on start up. Any ideas what it is, what is causing it and how to get rid of it?
Many thanksTry another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

Firefox shortcut on desktop is displaying a padlock. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?
The Firefox shortcut on my desktop is displaying a padlock. It did not have this earlier today and I have no idea where it came from or what it means. When opening Firefox with this shortcut the page is then outlined in red. Does anybody know what has caused this and how to get rid of it?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Today about 30 minutes agoMaybe your security software (anti-virus, firewall) is blocking Firefox.
Did you look in the settings there?

This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back
Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
Carlo
