What is yandex.ru

When I put any search term into the Safari 6.0 search bar I get Russian http://yandex.ru google results. I've set language to English in Google and System Preferences, cleared Preferences and cache. No help.

I'm getting the same thing since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
The problem only applies to the new search bar in safari. Opera and Chrome work fine. If I go to www.google.com.au, then it works too.
I'm not sure if this is related, but since upgrading to ML, I notices that my mbp had dropped off the local network and was sitting in the DMZ!
This is only effecting this one machine. It "feels" viral, and all I've done since upgrading it browse some news sites.....oh oh.... and upgraded flash :-(

Is yandex.ru a possible threat?

I have noticed recently that when accessing certain websites in Firefox to perform a specific task, for example when trying to create the html for an affiliate link, then 2 things are happening:
1. my pc slows considerably
2. task bar references "contact with yandex.ru"
I had not experienced this before and did not know what/who yandex was. I now understand it is the prime Russian Search Engine, the Russian equivalent of Google.
My questions are:
1. has anyone else experienced this?
2. does this pose any type of threat?
3. would there be any problems if I were to remove yandex from my pc?
4. if no problems how do I remove it|?
Many thanks in advance for your answers.

No. It has no effect on your computer because it was intended for a PC, not a Mac. Furthermore, you did not download or install any software from the site that did the pop-up.
However, you did an abnormal shutdown, so just to be careful do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If all is reported as OK just restart your computer normally.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
You've checked the spam folder on your email account as well as the inbox ? They could also try resending it (and they should double-check the email address) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
If you still don't get it then they should contact iTunes Support.

Yandex is not allowing me to visit certain sites

I try to open site www.lostateminor.com and it says that the site isn't safe and redirects me to a google search page. When I click why is this site marked unsafe it takes me to Yandex with a page of Russian text i can't read. I already disabled and removed the Yandex toolbar and the process is not showing up as on my computer, yet somehow it is still able to block sites?

Hi Ed-meister. Thanks about roadrunner-that makes sense. But, I am assuming the drag is due to this "automated queries" thing, since I've been noticing the slowdown for some time. I am addicted to ancestry.com and assumed too many people were on it, slowing me down. I did download a feature while on ancestry that I didn't quite like or trust and deleted it, but think that may be where I picked it up. I've heard that when you link to a download, it happens without you noticing. Google is apparently trying to prevent it, and has not let me go to several links lately, including the one you gave me to paste the message. Just as well, it may attach to you also-hope I haven't already. anyway-is this considered spyware or what. Google gave me some recent downloads to check, but now I can't get back to the message to see them. Thanks for your help. wagers

How can i send the html animation by email for my freind(yandex,email)?

how can i send the html animation by email for my freind(yandex,email)?

Hello! Happy New Year to you too.
I am not sure I understand your question properly.
If you are making this animation for a wesite, you can include your files into an iFrame and upload all your files to your website server.
For example add this to your html page:
<iframe src="http://www.yourSiteName.com/folderName/index.html" style="width: 100%; height: 400px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 30px;"></iframe>
Note: change the sizes, change your site name, folder name and html edge file name.
If you want to just have your composition on one page by itself, then just add the folder to the root area of your server and then you can send the link by email for people to see it directly on the web. You do not need to put it in an iFrame for this. Just email the web address - so for example:
http://www.yourSiteName.com/folderName/index.html
Let me know if I understood properly and if not please give us a clear description of what you want to do.

How can I send the html animation on the post(mail,google,yandex)?

how can I send the html animation on the post(mail,google,yandex)?

What do you mean? F you want to post your files here, put a zipped file on the cloud somewhere like dropbox, and post the link.

Websites being redirected to yandex.ru

I am having a problem as of yesterday. A lot of the websites I have been trying to visit have been redirected to yandex.ru. I am running Chrome on a 15" MacBook Pro with Lion. the sites that are being redirected are very random, but they consistently redirect. For example, MSN.com always loads fine, but trying to click on a link within msn.com from yardbarker.com redirects to yandex.ru.
It doesn't matter whether I access the sites through a search engine or directly on the google omnibox, the sites are always redirected before completely loaded. It is also consistent on other browsers (Safari and Firefox). I have cleared all caches, cookies, extensions, deleted extra search engines, etc, and I have tried using other DNS addresses provided by OpenDNS. None of those things worked.
I thought it might be a problem with my ISP. I am living in Jordan for work, so who knows what kind of potentially shady goings-on are happening, but I asked a friend using the same ISP and DNS addresses to check the sites I was having trouble with, and they loaded fine for him.
I have used ClamXav and MacScan 2, and no problems were reported. I reset my router to factory settings, and I am still having the same trouble. All of the devices we use on the local network are also being redirected. My wife's macbook, my iPhone, and our iPad are all being affected.
I am using a Wimax router through a 3.5G HSPA connection with an airport Extreme attached via ethernet to extend the signal. I tried to connect to the Wimax router directly and still had the same issue. I tried logging in as a guest, using Safari, and was redirected as well. Not sure what to do next.
Any counsel would be thoroughly appreciated.

Temporary solution proposed by zain technical support after a big fight over the phone... (works just fine)
Add yandex.ru to the List of blocked websites under the settings/options menu in the security section, this needs to be done for each browser you use. Whether ur cache is cleared or not, you will be able to avoid the sudden redirection to yandex. Your browser will show a notification that yandex has been blocked (it will block it three attempts of redirection, I took the three yandex.ru/*********** blocked sites and added them in full to the list of blocked sites under the security section in each and every browser on every single device accessing the hspa+ gateway)
My browsing is a **** lot easier now, speed though went a little down, not a problem for me as long as I can get things done)
Tech support promised a permanent solution the coming week.
I still haven't had the chance to try the VPN option. Will give it a shot and update the thread

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

Macbook4,1 10.6.8 and firmware update - what went wrong?

Macbook 4,1 2008 2.4Ghz (not unibody). I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled 10.6 from the Retail DVD and all seemed to go well. The MB was working fine up to that point. I then set up the MB (network, date and time, etc.) and repaired permissions.
I then checked Software Update and downloaded and installed the recommended updates to 10.6.8.
Again, all seemed to go fine. System booted and I repaired Permissions again. I went to the Apple web site, a couple of other web sites, and Software Update found another update to install: Firmware. Though I don't remember what version.
I clicked OK and it installed.
Upon reboot, it seemed to install okay.
But then I left the Macbook and it went into Sleep.
I didn't come back to it again until the next day.
When I pressed a key to wake it, I got what I now know is the screen that appears after you wake it from SAFE SLEEP. As per this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757.
And this is where the problems started.
After the MB woke to the Safe Sleep screen, which shows the desktop a little "out of focus", the progress bars started filling in from left to right, BUT before they completed, the screen went BLACK.
And it has had a problem with black screen ever since. I can boot the MB from internal or external HD or from DVD, and it seems to boot fine. Boot chime, Apple logo, spinning wheel, then at the point where it pauses, blue screen, then goes to desktop, instead the screen goes black.
It finishes booting, but seems to go into Sleep.
I can wake it by pressing a key, but the screen either comes on and goes black again after 10 seconds, or I get the Safe Sleep wake screen, and then it goes black after 10 seconds.
And at boot or when waking the MB, the front LED flashes 5 times. There are no error beeps.
I've tried changing RAM, but problems remain.
So what's all this? Any ideas?
The display doesn't seem dead, as it works to boot and wake. The MB works fine with external monitor.
It's weird, but I can't think of anything apart from the Firmware update. The problems started right after installing it.
Unfortunately, this model of Macbook doesn't have a Firmware Restoration image to download and burn to CD. It is the ONLY Mac at this point that doesn't have this!
I called Apple support and even bought the 49 Euro Pay Per Incident service, which proved to be the same as throwing 49 Euro out the window. The only "technical" support they provided was to Reset the SMC, which you can find out about FOR FREE at the Apple website. And which I'd done anyway. I'd also reinstalled the MacOS. Don't want to beef too much, but sheesh, you've already got a Macbook that might need costly repairs, and they make you pay 49 Euro BEFORE they even ask you about the problem and what you've done to try to solve it. I'm tempted to say "ripoff". I mean, if all they can offer you is the advice to reset the SMC - which Apple offers for free at their website - then that's pretty poor service for 49 Euro, to say the least.
Apart from the wasted 49 Euro, I'm pretty peeved about the Firmware update (or so it seems) wrecking a perfectly working 2008 Macbook. I don't know how to convince Apple of this, but I'm certainly going to try.

Thanks for the reply.
Re. the Displays setting, the Macbook display isn't recognized and mirroring isn't an available option.
I've scoured the net and the idea of replacing the PRAM battery may be something to try. I read a post by a guy with a Macbook logic board screwed up by a Firmware update, which he solved by replacing the PRAM battery, as when you disconnect it you reset the logic board.
Which capacitor?
No luck so far with talking to Apple. I will try to get hold of someone a little more tech savvy and/or in a position of authority, as it seems that the Firmware is the culprit. Obviously a million other things could go wrong with a Macbook, but given the timing here it looks like the Firmware. Firmware updates can and occasionally do screw up a computer, as most manufacturers will warn you before you apply the update: PC makers, printer makers, etc. And they probably warn you that it's all your responsibility if anything goes wrong. But re. the Apple Firmware update:
1) it came thru Software Update
2) there was no warning
3) to make things worse, there's no Firmware Restoration image that I can burn to a CD to reflash the logic board: this is the only Apple computer that doesn't have a Firmware Restoration option
I'll try to get thru to a manager and convince him/her that the firmware may have been the cause.
Do you think an authorized Apple tech might have access to some way to do a firmware restoration? Something not avaiable to mere mortals? Because if not, the only solution looks like a new logic board.

Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

Hello
I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
Thanks in advance

This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following. I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library. You now have a "split library" where:
E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
Album Artwork (folder)
Previous iTunes Library (folder)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
iTunes Library.itl (file)
iTunes Library.xml (file)
I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
Before you change anything else, exit iTunes. Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder. You should now have this:
or something very similar. Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key. You will see this dialog:
Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above. Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK. iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them. You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations). As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
De-authorize your iTunes account.
Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.). Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes. As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge! After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
I badly need help!

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

Black window bugs and lockups and crashes and WHAT'S WRONG?

First, I thought the problem was that my employer still uses Windows XP, with layers of custom security on top. But it happens at home, on my vanilla XP netbook.
So then I thought the problem was XP, which is, after all, obsolete. But now it is happening on my brand-new week-old laptop running 64 bit Windows 7 professional.
These are the problems:
(1) When recovering from sleep mode, or when I plug in a second screen, or even just from having the screen closed briefly, Firefox fails to redraw its window contents. I just get a black, empty window until I resize it or force a refresh. NO OTHER PROGRAM I USE HAS THIS PROBLEM.
(2) Sometime Firefox fails to redraw no matter what I do. I just had a totally black window, and when I clicked on the close box, a msgbox popped up, totally black inside, with a title like, "Are you sure you want to close?" I couldn't even see the "yes" and "No" buttons, and clicking where they usually are didn't work. I finally got it to close by hitting the enter key.
(3) Sometimes these problems are accompanied by a little vestigial micro-window, which has no contents, no close button, and no resize control. It's this nothing window with no title, but the title bar is long enough for maybe 20 characters. The most recent time this happened to me, the nothing window had a blinking text cursor inside, but typing had no effect. The only way to get rid of the micro-window is to close every single instance of Firefox, and then wait about 20 seconds. Then it disappears on its own. Sometimes it appears on its own without the black screen problem.
(4) All my favicons disappeared when I updated Firefox on my XP work computer, and they refuse to come back, even when I revisit the websites.
The computers involved are:
Dell E4200 running Win XP Pro
Acer One netbook running Win XP Home
Vostro 3350 running Win 7 Pro
All 3 computers are running Norton Security Suite (The E4200 is running an Enterprise custom load, the other two are running Comcast's free version)
And all 3 computers have been connected to a Displaylink USB video adapter (for a 3rd screen) at some point or another, meaning that the driver is loaded on all the computers, but the above problems occur without any external monitor at all connected.
Everything else is pretty vanilla.
I'm getting these issues every other day or so, and it is really starting to annoy me and make me worried that Firefox is unstable, with makes me worried that any unsaved work or even my hard drive data might be at risk.
