Well at least the firewall seems to work. Found these in the log:- (amongst a whole lot of others!)
01:59:58, 16 Jul.
IN: BLOCK [16] Remote administration (TCP 61.231.0.215:12200->109.149.10.235:443 on ppp0)
01:44:50, 16 Jul.
IN: BLOCK [16] Remote administration (ICMP type 8 code 0 203.178.148.19->109.149.10.235 on ppp0)
01:36:29, 16 Jul.
IN: BLOCK [16] Remote administration (TCP 116.10.191.173:6000->109.149.10.235:22 on ppp0)
Locations are Taiwan, China (what a surprise), and Japan. Other ip addresses gave up Russian and Polish locations. It never stops does it!

I run an application called PeerBlock on most of my PCs (I should really invest in a hardware firewall)
It blocks up to 2 billion addresses at any one point, all of which are either malicious, known hackers, unassigned addresses etc.
It's very surprising figuring out which applications are trying to connect where.
Skype's been a major issue, because of the node distribution, you connect to a huge amount of nasty addresses.
I guess I'm just a paranoid person, but it gives me peace of mind.

HT2486 Why would someone have a lion as their photo in address book?

Why have Apple deleted copy/paste from Preview - why do I have to drag and drop image files? Who would have an image like flowers, an eagle etc. Seems very Windows Vista to me.

Not sure what you are talking about? Your subject has nothing to do with you not being able to see the copy/paste in Preview.

Why would someone require CS4 files?

Hi,
My office works in CS3. We have a client who is working in CS4.
We're submitting Illustrator files to our client and they are absolutly requiring that we give them CS4 files. So obviously this would require us to purchase an upgrade to CS4.
Is there any reason why they would be requiring CS4 files? Is there some sort of compatiblity issues with opening CS3 files in CS4? I'm not ready to lose the client over this, but I've never heard of the newest version not being able to open a previous versions files.
Please shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I only work with CS3 but I cannot think of any reason why they cannot work with the files you provide them.
Now, if they submit a CS4 file to you and they have used some new features that were not available in CS3 then there may be issues. And they should be saving any files they send to you as CS3 version as well.
here are several very excellent and obvious reasons.
First if you are outlining strokes in CS 3 and send them the file they might have to remove all of the extra and overlapping points.
If you use the free transform tool on a gradient mess and do not notice that all the curved paths with in the mesh are converted to hard angles
and resave it, then you are going to cause your client a lot of work.
If there are effects used on the files and they have turned some of them off when they saved the files this will not translate well in CS3 and if you have to turn off an effect that they do not wish you to trash you cannot do this in CS 3 and if you can't use that effect for what you are doing at least not for now then you have to trahs it since in CS 3 you cannot turn off the effects visibility.
If they use the blob brush and want that look you are going to have one hell of a hard time matching it.
If they use transparency in a gradient you are going to lose it.
If they import an layered or transparent tiff it will probably be flattened at least the raster portion of the file, so no more transparency with that place image.
Is that enough or should I list more?
In other words if you want to work with your client and give your other clients a better product it is probably a wise choice to upgrade.

Why would someone use x:ClassModifier="internal" ?

I was looking through some views and one was marked at the top with "internal".
It's a bit confusing because isn't it internal by default?

Nope. The other way round.
The default for a XAML based class is Public.
The person who wrote that page chose the VB version of syntax.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms754029%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Default is:
<object x:Class="namespace.classname" x:ClassModifier="Public">
</object>
Presumably what you're seeing:
<object x:Class="namespace.classname" x:ClassModifier="Internal">
</object>
I can't really see why anyone would bother. Can't recall ever seeing that used in a project I've worked on or code reviewed. There again it'd be up the top where I wouldn't usually pay much attention.
If you're working on a project and you don't know the reason then maybe there is actually no good reason.
Devs will sometimes see something and they use it just because they can. I see all sorts of odd things and there's no real reason at all for using them other than "because I could".
Hope that helps.

Why would someone not receive my acceptance notification being sent from Outlook Mac 2011?

I am using Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011, version 14.1.2 (110505) on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
When I accept a meeting invitation, my My Day window and my Outlook Calendar are both instantly populated with the event however the sender of the meeting does not receive confirmation of my acceptance. The acceptance auto-sent-message independently presents itself into my Outlook Deleted Items folder. The same happens when I click Tentative and Decline.
How can I ensure the organiser is notified of my R.S.V.P.? How do I make sure they receive my notification?
The Preferance pane settings for Notifications & Sounds doesn't indicate any hint as to what would be the obvious reason other than to display an alert on my desktop, bounce the Outlook icon in the Dock, have sounds assigned to mailbox behaviours, and have the ability to reset alerts.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? How did you resolve it?

Why would someone launch a newer version and not get all of the bugs out first?

Facebook will not load. Email will not load. Nothing will load. Firefox is not compatible with my anti-virus, so it disabled. All Adobe files were lost in the download process. FF is running soooo slow. I uninstalled FF and now cannot reinstall. When I go to mozilla.com there in no "download now" button. What is up with this?

Why would anyone not use VBR?

FYI, I'm not an audio guru, and while I don't use the best audio equipment, I also don't buy the cheapest stuff out there.
All that aside, my question to the many very knowledgeable people here is: why would someone not want to check the VBR option when encoding?

Because it can sometimes interfere with importing for one and not everyone can appreciate the difference.

Hello Leisabee!
I am so excited for you to get your iPhone 5. I know how eager we all are to have this phone! I know you mentioned you ordered on 9/14, did you receive a confirmation letter by chance?

Would someone at Apple please take serious steps to locate and block the bots that are attempting to take over Apple IDs?

I regularly get e-mails (which appear to be legit upon intense scrutiny) from Apple regarding the request for a reset of my Apple ID. Given how often and the timing of these e-mails (spead out and not bunched up like it would be for someone who actually mistook my ID for their own), it is clear that someone is making a serious effort to break into my account (and logically millions of other accounts). Would someone at Apple please take just as serious steps to locate these scumbags and put them down?
Thank you.

Thank you.
I've submitted the feedback where you've suggested. I hope someone will takw the problem seriously because there may come a day when the e-mails will end and my bank account will just get emptied by some cracker* who has found a flaw in the system and exploited it.
*This is the correct term, "hacker" is a style of programmer, while a "cracker" cracks computer-based security. Blame the Media and Hollywood for getting the terms wrong.

Why would the Firewire Port and/or External DVD-RW suddenly not work?

Hi, it's me again. I swear, I must be destined to just use Windows machines...
Anyways, I have a used/refurbished iBook G3 500MHz 320MB RAM Dual USB (1 Firewire)laptop running OS 10.2.8 that I bought a few months ago. I went and purchased an external Firewire/USB 2.0 DVD-RW drive as I only had a CD-ROM drive on my machine and I wanted the option to burn CD's or watch/read data from DVD's (I know that with my slow processor writing DVD's -other than data- would be a stretch and have other machines to do that with anyways so it wasn't a concern really). I received it and installed it, also installed the free version of Toast that came with it, and the drive worked fine. I have not needed to use the drive since then and have not used the laptop much at all since then really, but I do need to say that I did end up adding a new user account, though I can't remember if I changed the original Admin account and then still have the one I created myself when I first started the laptop after I bought it (had a fresh install of Jaguar on it, but I have no disk to re-install with if needed) or if I created a separate (new) account and ended up deleting the Original Admin accout (I know in Windows, you cannot delete the original Admin account but I do not know if that is the same for OSX or not). I did this as I wanted a master Admin account that I just wouldn't really use and then wanted the other as my main account (and use it to connect to my home windows network) and for some reason it would not let me put a check in the box to allow that account to do so (from either Apple or my user accounts) and so I know that my main user account now is set up to allow it (was it the old Apple user account or a new one, I can't remember- sorry).
Ok, so that is the back story to my problem, which happens to be this:
I just bought a new chip of RAM (512MB to make it a machine with 576MB RAM total) and as I had been looking at getting OSX Tiger (but didn't want to do it without the extra ram and had been considering Panther instead as well), I thought it was necessary if I wanted to not bog down my machine. I bought the Install Disks on DVD for Panther, as well as an upgrade disk (DVD again) for Tiger, therefore letting me use the External Firewire DVD-RW to install Panther, and if I liked I could go ahead and upgrade to Tiger (and if I didn't like it too much, or it slowed things down too much etc, then I could always go back to panther and have both available for future options). The extra RAM coming in handy here definitely.
So I was going to install the RAM today, and decided to go ahead and test out the External DVD to make sure it could boot from it (before making any changes to my system) and then go and install the RAM, and after that, install Panther to start... But I plugged all the cords and cables in, used my laptop with AC power even, and I could not get the External to show up at all... (kinda like the very current post right below mine but for the G4- it worked before, but now the firewire External just does not show up).
I only have USB 1.1 on this laptop obviously, and I don't even know if you could do a boot from an external with USB 2.0 if my laptop had it (the DVD player does). I was recommended to boot with an external firewire DVD or firewire to another machine with DVD capabilities to do the install. So my problem right now is getting slightly bigger, as of course, I can't seem to momentarily find the stuff that came with the External (spare USB cable to check and see if the laptop will recognize it at least with that and to show it is the firewire that is not working properly, or the disk that I used to install it -might have been only used to install Toast free version if it didn't need any drivers, but I don't know where that or the instructions for installation sheet currently is -- I am looking for it, but I have switched bedrooms just last week and I also seem to be missing a few other Windows laptop disks as well so there is a good chance that they are all together, I just need to figure out where, heh.)
I am waiting currently before installing the memory, though if I don't get the External working tonight, I may go ahead and do it first as at least I will have more memory on my laptop then, until I can get other stuff functioning and be able to do the Panther install.
But my main question is, is there something that would cause an installed external to suddenly not show up in OSX? Since I hadn't used it since that one day, and it was unplugged from the laptop itself, would that end up doing it, or more likely, the changing of the user accounts (though I have been trying to test it with different types of media and through both of my user account (which are both "admin" ones), though I do still have one of those being an account that was on there when the External DVD was first installed, so it really shouldn't have done this at all (one would think). So how big of a chance is it that the firewire has somehow gone dead and this is the main culprit to my wasting the past 4 hours on this???
I am currently scavenging around for an extra USB cable to try and test the External that way and will post the results when I can... I love the look and idea of macs, now I have a mac and want to upgrade it even, but why is it that whenever I attempt to use it after having not used it for a bit (and try to make the iBook feel better by using it more as I am sure it feels sad and alone sitting on the shelf while my Windows Laptop gets more attention), or try to fix it when it can be made better (and therefore used more often), the mac (all macs really), just seem to get all pissy and cause problems and make me spend hours upon hours trying to get things to work again??? You have to admit it, I am "mac cursed"... sigh I can program in 4 or 5 computer languages and am very advanced at many tech things (the ones I am not as good at I am still usually Average or Medium skilled) so it makes me wonder why I have so many tech problems with Macs when they are supposed to be the "easy" OS to use...

Actually, I think I have it all working now. After going back to the Plextor Website, I found out that the switch between the USB and 1394 ports only gets activated (switched over to the other) with you turn the device off first, move the switch and then turn it back on. I was sure that I had done this with the ibook, but maybe not as when I went back and did it with first the USB and then the Firewire cables, it did work. I definitely knew that I had not done this with the Windows laptop, the reason it would not have the USB work for me on it.
but back to the iBook, I was confused as it was only showing up as a DVD-ROM (which I guess is what they do until you actually open up the burning software to then be able to burn to it), and it also had the wrong Model #, which after more research, showed that it was the Internal DVD drive model version (PX-708A) compared to the actual model version (PX-708UF) which is the USB/Firewire (External) model. The firmware was really out of date as well (from June 2004 I think, v1.06) and they had v1.12 from Spet/Oct 2006 available so I went to get that (which was a hassle). They had nice easy Windows self extractor/installer packs, and then the BIN files for use for all systems (Sun OS/ Mac OSX/ Mac OS/ Linux etc as well as usable for Windows), and those needed a special Firmware Updater Application which was OS specific. Only I had the hardest time trying to get the OSX one as it would send me to a FTP site and not give me any clues as to which file(s) I needed to get and the Mac OS version was just for older 9.2 or below versions and didn't want to install under the OS Classic mode.
I ended up using my windows computer which made it easier to view with the FTP stuff as I have FireFTP in Firefox, and downloaded the files I thought I needed (to test out), and then realized my silliness, and just downloaded (as well) the Windows Auto Extractor/Installer as the Firmware is the same for all OS's, just the way to install/update it was different... So I hooked the DVD drive to my PC and updated the firmware, checked it out on here before moving it back to the ibook, where I checked that it still worked and had the new update version showing, which it did, and now I have my fully working and newly updated drive ready for the OSX installations... I had attempted to update my Jaguar system as well while online, but it had no new updates available (I guess those were all mostly Tiger updates that were just recently released).
I am now off to install my additional RAM, and after checking that it all shows up correctly, I will go ahead and do the Panther Install (and test it out and see if I like it or not).
For anyone that currently uses Panther on any mac, are there still any major problems I should know about before hand, or know about things that they have mostly fixed (like the issues with Firewire ports and External Drives that they had around the time Panther was first released for example)???
Thanks to all that helped... I now know to attempt an "eject" of any external HD (which I do have one that I will setup to use after I get Panther on the ibook) or CD/DVD drive instead of just unplugging the USB/Firewire cable.

Why would a movie not be viewable on .Mac if I limit access to a user?

I'm trying to post a iMovie to my .Mac and make it viewable by a certain user and password as opposed to viewable by anyone.
The movie, per iMovie, indicates that it is published to .Mac yet when I try and view it my browser (Safari) just keeps saying "loading".
Yet when I post the movie and set it Viewable by everyone - it works no issues.
Why would there be an issue when I limit who it is viewable by?
Thanks for any insight and assistance.

SOLUTION: Added a partition on the harddisk via disc utility (leopard install dvd), and installed leopard on the new partition (use same user name as on old partition if your trying to obtain files on old partition in your user folder - it might make a difference I'm not sure just did it as a precaution) after booting go back and access the files from the old partition. The old partition will show up on desktop when you login to the new partition, copy those suckers(files) over to a external or media source.
Finally if you cant figure the next step out you could completely reformat your whole harddisk install leopard over, and copy the files back over from the external, if your copying library files (applications), i doubt they will work the same on the complete HD reformat.
Happy Macing ppl =]
If this seems like all too much work for you, maybe someone else has a easier method, because the thought of installing leopard just to recover files is quite time consuming, but it worked in the end so it doesn't matter for me.

Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log in. Safari won't open the secure page. Advice?

Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log-in page. "Safari can't connect to this secure page." I've checked preferences and cannot find a reason for this change to the regular facebook address. Safari 5.0.5 on MacbookAir. I can't even download the updated software.

If you leave your session idle for a while, the site might log you out due to inactivity, but... I wouldn't trust that, either.
Usually your bank will have a link, menu, or some other way to log out. Certainly that is the best thing if you can do it. Sometimes if a site is not fully compatible with Firefox its style rules will result in a jumbled layout. You can disable all the style rules and view the site in a plainer layout to see whether you can spot the missing link. To do that:
tap the Alt key > View menu > Page Style > No Style
(The tab will remain unstyled going forward. You can use the same menu to reapply the page's style sheets later.)
Also, if you want to break the connection between Firefox and your banking session, you can clear your cookies for the bank site. This won't necessarily have any effect on your banking session ''on the server'' but should make it impossible for someone to use your Firefox to do anything in that session. To clear cookies for the current site, you can use the Page Info dialog. Here are 3 ways to open it:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock on the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then reload the page and the site should behave as though you are not logged in.
