Who are Apple's "identified developers?"

In System Preferences, General Security, there is an option to "Allow applications downloaded from: Mac App Store and identified developers."
I wanted to download an app from the Adobe website...Adobe is pretty legit, and it wouldn't let me because of my preference. It's Adobe! I know I can just change my preference in order to do it, but unfortunately I can't remember my password, lol.
So who are these mysterious "identified developers?"

Funny - I just downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and saw a small 'lock' in the upper right hand corner. Curious, I clicked on the lock and was shown the 'identified developer' certificate. First time I've seen an installer with that - I assume it will become the norm.
I just hold down the Control key and click the app and choose Open if I know that the app is from a legitimate source. And the Adobe download sites are usually secure so I'm assuming that you can safely install anything from there.

I've had my MacBook Pro screen lock up and this weird window shows up:
http://www.safari-contact help.com
Safari - Alert
Suspicious Activity Might be Detected In your Browser. Your Browser might have been hijacked and
suspicious activity been detected. To get it fix please call Apple Certified Engineers on +1-877-340-9184 (Toll Free)
OK
I have had to Force Quit Safari and Restart mynotebook to get rid of the window pop-up. Please help! How can I clean up my computer of all these strange pop-ups?

This is a scam. Do not call the number or you will find yourself connected to a Ukrainian identify thief. The following is useful:
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Question for those who are getting their broken TCs replaced by Apple:

Are those of you who are getting a replacement TC through Apple all within your warranty period, or is Apple replacing all of the 'power issue' failures, regardless of warranty?
Do you have Apple care, or are you just calling the Apple Care number?
What model of TC failed?
I'm nervous about mine....
Thank you.

Anybody?

Apple Watch ready for handicapt people who are sitting in a wheelchair?

Hi,
will the Apple Watch be ready for handicapt people, who are sitting in a wheelchair? I hope so.
I´m pritty sure that nobody knows anything about it yet. I hope, that Apple engineers will read this, so that I can also benefit from those fitness features within my situation.
Is there a direct way to inform Apple about my idea?
Thanks in advance.

Why are apple charging for the January update

I bought my ipod for Christmas. It's unfair that I'm now having to pay for applications that are free of charge 3 weeks later on new units. Had I have known then I would have waited. The apple store made no mention of any update at the time of purchase. Could someone from apple please advise if this will become free in the future or whether this is standard policy to charge recent customers immediately on release of software that is free to newer clients.

Get used to it! Seriously, if you don't want to you don't have to pay for it, and right now you don't need to. The touch is not the iPhone. This seemingly obvious observation appears to have been missed by some. You must have access to the internet via Wi Fi (either at home or at a hotspot). So all those pretty icons of maps, weather, stocks are dead in the water unless you are connected (unlike the iPhone people who are always connected). If you really want a screen full of icons just set up an iTapPad page (see webapps) and then you can have up to 10 pages of icons chock full of webapps that you can access for free once connected to the internet, including maps, weather, and a Notes look-alike.
Resident apps, those that sit on your touch and don't require a Wi Fi connection to function, will come from developers and some will possibly be free, but expect to pay for most. They will probably be downloaded through iTunes, and Apple will probably want a slice of the pie (pun intended) for the service.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?
15-Jun-2011 15:15 (in response to sfrommilton keynes)
o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

How to skip approving steps for users who are also approvers?

We have a business need to be able to skip the approving steps for the users who are also approvers.
For this following steps were followed :-
1) Open .task file and go into the Assignment tab. Double click on the performer box within the routing slip, this should open the "Edit Participant Type" editor. Expand the "Advanced" section and place a check next to "specify skip rule", then click the edit icon to the right. Now enter an XPath expression that will test whether the current user is equal to the task creator.
2) We used - isUserInRole XPath function in the "Identify Service Functions" dropdown - first param to function is the userID, the 2nd is the role name.
We tried with hardcoded userID as well as by using
ids:isUserInRole(/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:updatedBy/task:id,'California')
where 'California' is the group name (as one of the forum threads told this function works with groups).
We also tried with swimlane roles(using bpm.getPerformer() function) but it does not work either.
Please let me know if any one has any solution to this problem.

session as DirectorySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
dirHum as Fuego.Fdi.DirHumanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : session, id : "myUserId")
result = hasRoleAssigned(dirHum, role : "Approver")Give that a try...
HTH,

Are Apple Display HD??

Hi,
Just a quick question to those who know much more about this than I do.
Are Apple's Displays high definition??
If I was to watch a HD film on them, would it be in high definition or not? What is the resolution of them, if they are HD? Would they be 1080i, 1080p, 720???
Thanks for your help.

Depends on the res of the screen.
720 is 1280 x 720
and 1080 is 1920 x 1080
So, the 20" display is 720 capable and the 23" and 30" are 1080 capable, as per: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
Of course, you'll need a fast graphics adapter to drive 1080!!!

Background rendering? Oh REALLY? Who's Apple kidding?

One of the things I was looking most forward to, was - to quote the infamous Supermeet presentation: "Never ever have to wait for rending no more!"
It's just that, to my best knowledge, there really is absolutely NO background rendering going on NOR is it any different from the auto rendering we had in FCP 7. Just at bit more automatic, perhaps.
To me, the definition of af background task is something that continues while you continue your work. I'm positive that most people hear this in FCP X as in "so it will do the rendering in background, so you don't have to wait for it".
But wait........
- If it's a background process, while does it stop when we continue working ? That's no background task to me! Is it?
- If it's something so new, that it has to be accompaniet with "never have to wait no more", why is it almost 100% the same as we already had in FCP 7?
Two me, there seems to be only two very small differences:
- in FCP X you can set the time limit where in FCP 7 you had to stick to the, what, 15 minutes delay in this process starting automatically
- in FCP X you can pause the rendering temporarily just by doing anything in FCP X, where as in FCP 7 you had to click cancel to halt it
So the conclusion to is, that you most definately still have to wait for rendering, as you cannot finish you project before you completed the wait........
Background rending? Oh REALLY? Who's Apple kidding, anyway?

why is it almost 100% the same as we already had in FCP 7?
This is just incorrect. First, the technology in FCP is vastly superior to 7. The speed is substantially faster. It is not analogous in any meaningful sense to auto render. In addition, once render initiates, it does not actively have to be stopped by the user to continue working, nor does it have to be re-initiated. The process is seamless.
Indeed calling it background rendering is marketing hype and it is not in background in any true sense. However, it's relationship to what happens in 7 is zero. The two differences are minor. The real differences are in the processes ability to access new techology, using more RAM, more processor power, more graphics processing, and more modern OS technolgies. That's the real difference.

What is postgres_real and who are the users _teamsse _devicem

I have an iMac 27" (late 2013) running OSX Mavericks
Looking at the Activity Monitor I note the process postgres_real is sending a lot of bytes over the network. There are multiple instances of this process. One instance is owned by _teamsse, another is _devicem. Another instance of postgres_real is owned by _calendra.
I know that postgres_real is a database program, but why is in running on my iMac and sending bytes over the network?
Who are the users _teamsse, _devicem and _calendra and what systems are they associated with?
Is there a chance my activity is being reported to Apple or some other enity?
Is there any documentation you would recomend so I can figure these things out myself.
Thanks.

Postgre is used on the Server version. Since you are running Server, you might want to ask on the OS X Server forums.

Override textframes who are only on the pasteboard and not on a page

Hello together
with Applescript it is possible ot override certain elements who are on a page which are coming from a master spread. But how to override frames which are not on a page but only on the pageboard?
Until now my solution is to place these elements on the page and after they override command to move them out to the pasteboard :-/
Michael

@xtraMike1 – in InDesign's UI you can override the right square in Jongware's screenshots by cmd + shift + click (Mac OS).
Also in scripting.
Example:
1. The object to override is at least part of the bleed area (or the info area)
2. I can identify it as pageItem by its ID (in my example here: 212)
I like to override it on page 1.
The following JavaScript (ExtendScript) will do that.
Sorry for no AppleScript code example from me.
app.documents[0].pageItems.itemByID(212).override(app.documents[0].pages[0]);
InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.3) on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (all German).
In screenshots:
After executing the script snippet:
So the solution seems to be expanding the bleed or info area and then override the object.
