When I try to play a dvd on my Macbook Pro I get a box with the message " This is only for activated users. To activate go to preferences,donate" this takes me to Mr. Gecko's facebook page asking me to donate $1.99-$4.99.
Any clues on what this is, and/or how to bypass it? If I can report this to someone? Thanks

Sure sounds like malware, unles you installed something from a questionable site, then it's still malware but in a payware form as playing DVDs is free on Mac's.
Unless the DVD has software on it perhaps?
Does this work on any movie DVD or is this a special kind of DVD with software on it from someplace?

Does any one know what the matrix.dms is? And why it is in my picture folder? When I open this file the unarchiver takes over and I see my entire hard drive when I scroll down I see the matrix.dms file with in the unarchiver.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know that the matrix.dms file is? And why it may have came to be in my picture folder? When I opened the file the unarchiver took over, then I saw my files in the unarchiver window. I then scrolled down and I saw the same matrix.dms file within the unarchiver window. I made a video of what saw when I tried to open the file, so as to aide in your understanding of reason for my perplexion at this file. Thank you for your help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QeWH9hRnro&feature=youtu.be

Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

When I click on a contact in Yahoo mail to email them, I get a box with the message "Something unexpected just happened...." and the screen locks up.

This happens with Firefox 11.0, Yahoo! edition 1.9 on Mac OS/X 10.6. Also the "To" line in the Yahoo mail send screen no longer auto-fills.

There have been various issues with Yahoo based email and the Flash plugin. Your Flash plugin is pretty old. You should go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ and update Flash and any others that are outdated and then see if the problem still happens.

My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it automatically returns to the artists screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this..?

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it immediately returns to the artists screen. Can anyone help?

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

Do all your songs have a check mark?

When I try to File Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

If that file is an FLV file then Firefox should save it as such and not change the file extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
