Mozilla inspects every add-on before allowing it to be hosted there, and inspects every update for currently hosted add-ons. Pretty safe bet that you aren't going to have a problem after installing that extension, and surely not a Trojan - that is the first thing which is screened for before AMO will allow an add-on to even be uploaded to their server for additional automated screening and then a manual code inspection.
Just because the website for that add-on is in those threat databases, it doesn't mean their extension contains anything malicious.

Questions about Lulu ISBN, Tax forms, distribution, Please help

Hello,
I've wrote some poetry books and I recently added a new one.
I hope I can ask the right questions and get the most up-to-date and correct answers.
Well, I got the Free ISBN numbers from Lulu for all my books. I went for the global distribution.
I went to update one of them tonight, before I buy proof copies of them all, and go through to 'accept' the distribution.
I was going to purchase them some time this week.
But when I went to update one of them, it said my title and author's name was 'locked'.
I am worried about the whole tax forms thing, because honestly I don't know how that works, and I just wanted to write books, buy copies for my friends and family, and hopefully, if it is possible, get my books into some bookstores online or something. I don't know, just as long as people read them, I don't care so much about making money because poetry for me is great therapy and an emotional outlet.
So I guess I'm wondering:
Do I have to fill out tax forms in order to continue with the Free Lulu ISBN number and global distribution?
I don't have a lot of money to spend on distribution and I just really CANNOT do the thing with the taxes. And I don't really understand it.
I'm ashamed to have to ask these questions. I did read the terms of service and all, but I didn't know if it would really affect me or apply to me in a way where I HAD to pay anything for my books to be distributed.
I know I should have asked this before hand, that's why I'm embarassed now. Please bear with me, I'm really new to understanding this kind of stuff.
I live in the USA by the way.
Also, if I DO have to fill out tax forms in order to get the free isbn from lulu and global distribution, is there any other way I can still have my books available for people to buy without me having to fill out tax forms and all?
And would 'any other way' mean me having to start my books over again here on lulu (like, retire them and start new projects)?
Any information will help me greatly. I apologize for my ignorance of the subjects.
Thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate it.

Hi!
Thanks for replying.
My books don't sell much at all, and I don't mind. I just thought that having an ISBN would make it more available to people, along with having the global distribution. I'd like to try to give a copy to my library and another bookstore here in town, the lady that owns it has taken my brother's books before that he wrote, as well. I wasn't sure if either of them required an ISBN or not. I'll try to go talk to them sometime so I will know. My brother used Lulu for one of his books, but used ... I think it was called 'damnation publishing' or something (it was a horror novel, please excuse the name).
I understand and thank you for explaining what you did. But I have a tiny issue I might need to talk to someone in private about. I didn't really want to say it publicly.
I'm really just writing books for fun, it's a great way to get out frustrations creatively. And I've been writing poetry for years now. I just like to have a copy of my book to say to myself "I did this, I can do something with my life".
Well I'll tell just a little of my issue here... I live with my mom, I'm in my 30's and she advised me not to do the global distribution after I told her about what I read concerning taxes and all. She wants me to ... I think ... drop the ISBN and global distribution due to any taxes that will ever come with it. My aunt is into taxes for a living, and maybe she can explain it more to me.
I, too, think it will be okay since I don't sell many books (I've been publishing here on lulu since 2012 after my dad died and I still haven't sold one book... I do buy them, however, and pass them out to friends and family). But my mom sorta got scared about this when I told her about taxes.
Well, I'll just say it. I'm disabled, and I don't do taxes that I know of. My mom pays them but I don't think I do. (I've got some illnesses, I'm embarassed to say).
So that's why I was not sure about how the whole taxes thing would affect me.
I'm embarassed because I know a lot of people would look down on me because of my illnesses and maybe ask 'why are you on the internet if you're sick?' ya know. I'm very ashamed of my situation, but making books on lulu gives me something to look forward to in life. It's something I'm able to sit and do. (And I know I shouldn't worry what others think about me.)
Anyway, I apologize for giving a life background story. I just wasn't sure how or if all this would affect me at all.
I highly doubt my books will sell millions. I'm just happy to be here, and getting to do something.
Well anyway, I do greatly appreciate your answer to my questions. I really do. I'll check back in a little while to see if anyone else knows anything about these subjects.
I thank you again for your knowledge. :-)
OH, also, would it be easier for me to just set the prices of my books so I don't get any revenue? I know this may sound strange, but I just love writing. I don't mind not getting paid as long as people will read my books.

HELP???Question about the technique RM COPY. Please Help

PLEASE HELP
Im wondering if anyone can help me. I recently got a reply to a post that I wrote about deleting duplicated files. Mainly MP3s. I have not done this method yet though. Does it work? I have around 9000 mp3s that Itunes seems to always duplicate and I need to get rid of them. Can I open one of my ex-Harddrives that pretty much hold mp3s and run this command? Im looking for a completely faster method than individually deleting them in Itunes. One last question too. Where do I type this command? How do I access the directorys where my mp3s are in my ex-HD? If anyone can help me Id greatly appreciate it. The reply is below my name

posternut:
If none of the original filenames contains the lettering " copy", you can do what you want quite easily.
Open Terminal, navigate to the folder that contains the files, and enter the following command (exactly as it appears here):
rm *" copy"*
That's all there is to it. All 9000 duplicate files will be removed very quickly.
If you need help "navigating to the folder" or if some of your original filenames contain the lettering “ copy”, then post back here.
Greg

Launch Terminal.app
Type cd followed by a space. Do not hit return key just yet.
In Finder, navigate to folder containing the files you want to blow away.
Drag and drop that folder (in the finder) into the Terminal.app window. It'll autofill the path to the directory containing the files you're wanting to blow away. Now hit the return key.
You could type ls (that's a lower-case ell) and see the directory listing of all the files in your current directory. Probably a good idea to do just to doublecheck that you really are in the directory that you want to blow away all these files from.
Now do what Greg said.
Don't get impatient because Terminal is just sitting there and you're not getting an immediate command prompt. It'll take a while to blow away 9000 files.
For entertainment, instead of rm *" copy"* use rm -v *" copy"* so you can watch all 9000 file names be printed in your terminal window as they are being deleted.
Will it work? Oh yes .... irreversibly (if it doesn't, that's coz' there are some file ownership and/or file permission issues that need to be looked at, but assuming those are "compatible" with your current Terminal user environment, those guys'll be toast. Any file that's in the working directory where you are in Terminal that has the five characters " copy" in its filename will be history.
The assumption in Greg's command is that all the files you want to blow away all reside in the one directory that you have navigated to.

Possible corrupted iPod. Please help.

So, I have had my iPod for about a year now. I haven't had any problems up until maybe a month or two ago. The scroll wheel froze and the buttons were unresponsive. There were no more problems until this morning. When I turned it on it said that I had no music, and when I connected it to the computer, it wouldn't let me sync any songs. Is there any hope in fixing it?

How do you get a new iPod from Apple?
I've had my classic since this past christmas (it's the new 120g), and last week, everything got wiped off of my iPod. I'm not sure what happened exactly. I restored it on my computer, and re-synced it. Ever since then, my iPod has been showing the big red X at least once a day. Sometimes I can restart it a couple of times, and it will be fine. Today it happened, and no matter how many times I reset it, it still shows the X. I have it plugged into my computer, but the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't show up on My Computer or iTunes or anything. I have no idea how to restore it or what do now.
Please help me, my iPod is my baby.

About preview edits PDF problem? Please help!

When I fill some forms and do the checks on PDF file using preview, it shows like this.
Anyone knows why? it doesn't like check or X? or if anyone knows any good PDF editor? Please help!

Your Preview is putting both a checkmark and an X into the checkbox. My Preview only puts a checkmark. I can't see where you can specify either one or the other (X or checkmark) in Preview on my Yosemite 10.10.1 with Preview version 8.0. Did you do something to enable "X" rather than checkmark?
What version of OS X and Preview are you using?
I use an app called PDFpenPro to do this sort of thing with usually (fill out forms and editing PDF files) and it also only puts checkmarks into the checkboxes.

My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

Possible Hard Drive Failure - Please Help

Hello everyone.
I have a 24" Aluminum iMac (Mid 2007 model, I believe) that was purchased around November 2007. The internal hard drive is 500 GB (roughly 300 GB for OS X and 200 GB for Windows XP). My problem is that my iMac doesn't want to boot into OS X. Please note that I can still access my Windows XP partition by holding the option when the computer starts up.
Here's a list of the things I've tried so far:
-Calling the support number: The gentleman took me through some basic trouble shooting steps (including booting in Single User Mode and typing the fsck command) but couldn't resolve the issue, so he gave me a case number and made an appointment at a local Apple store which I could not attend. I have yet to reschedule another appointment.
-Booted the "sick" Mac in Target Disk Mode while connecting it to another "savior" Mac via FireWire: Nothing. The target Mac goes into TDM correctly (FireWire logo bounces around screen), but the savior Mac did not recognize it. (The drive didn't mount?) This was the case with two different savior Macs.
-Booted in Verbose Mode: I held down Command+V while booting the computer. The trouble seems to arise directly after the line "AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: Intialization complete". The next step results in an error reading "disk0s2: I/O error.", then the computer shuts down after about 45 seconds.
-Inserted "Mac OS X Install Disc 1": I held down option and selected to boot from the CD. I chose English as the main language. When the welcome screen pops up (to re-install Leopard), I instead chose to run the Disk Utility option from the menu bar. I see my hard drive (465.8 GB) which is split into two partitions ("Macintosh HD" which I assume is disk0s2, and "disk0s3" which I assume is my Windows XP partition). I attempt to verify disk permissions on "Macintosh HD" but it almost immediately bumps back with an error saying "First Aid failed. Disk Utility stopped verifying permissions on 'Macintosh HD' because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Next, I click on Verify Disk instead of Verify Disk Permissions. The errors in the details list (red colored text?) include "Incorrect number of thread counts", "Invalid node structure", "Volume check failed", and "Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
-Tried to make an image of my current disk onto an external HD connected through FireWire: I thought this looked bad, so I figured I could re-install Leopard entirely. However, I have years of data on this hard drive that are irreplaceable (my fault for not backing it up to begin with). I hooked up a brand new 1 TB external drive via FireWire800. In Disk Utility, I can see the 1 TB external alongside my 500 GB internal. I clicked on the "Macintosh HD" disk and clicked "New Image" and directed it to create an image of my internal drive on my external drive. I click Save. After about five seconds, it bounces back with an error reading "Unable to create 'Macintosh HD.dmg'. (Input/output error)".
Questions:
1. What the heck happened? Is the problem the result of a head crash? Is it a problem in the boot sector?
2. Is there any possible way to recover the data on the hard drive?
3. Does a failure like this get covered by Apple Care Protection Plans? (the computer is covered, by the way)
Thank you very very much in advance. Sorry for the huge amount of text. :-x

Buy Disk Warrior and use it to repair your OS X volume (if it's repairable.) If DW cannot repair the volume then use Disk Utility to reformat the volume using the Zero Data (one pass) Security option.
Do you have a backup of your OS X volume? Since you have tried using TDM to access the drive without success it's reasonable to assume your data may be lost. If you have an external hard drive you can use, then you could attempt to use file recovery software to see if your data are recoverable.
At this point it is premature to assume the drive is bad since your Windows volume is functional. If you have Windows software for reading Mac drives you may try accessing the OS X volume from Windows.
Basics of File Recovery
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Question about Windows 7 on MBP! Please help! :(

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to check out my problem. Basically, I'm getting a MBP soonish (yes, I'll be waiting for the coming update). I'm a student (17 years old), and have used Windows my entire life - so on my MBP I definitely won't be using the Mac OS, I just can't be bothered adapting myself to an entire new OS. Anyway, here are my questions:
1) If I solely use Windows 7, is it still possible to alter some of the physical options of the MBP? (e.g. the trackpad, touch sensetive or pressing to click, two finger click = right click or not, and so on).
2) Will the trackpad gestures still work, even though I will be using Windows 7?
3) I am aware that Apple products sometimes get Firmware updates. Will a popup still appear if I am using Windows 7? If not, where can I see/obtain the Firmware update?
4) I'm not very tech savvy about Mac OS, but, when I get my MBP and the IT guy installs Windows 7, will the Mac OS still be 'on' the laptop? Or will it ONLY be Windows 7? Should I bother about having the Mac OS on it, even though I will never use it?
Thanks so much for your help everyone! I really really appreciate it.
Regards,
Brad.

What you're essentially looking to do is replace the engine of a Ferrari with a diesel lawn tractor engine (nothing against diesels, the new ones are excellent). Windows is slow and clunky and always gets in your way with constant interruptions and maintenance that always has to be done. I'm a student too (20 yrs old) and there is absolutely only one reason to run Windows and that is for games. Everything else can be accomplished much more easily under Mac OS X.
So the obvious question that I have is... why would you want to run Windows when you pay a small premium for the Mac hardware? You've already said you don't want to be bothered to adapt yourself to anything new and you think that you're not "tech savvy" enough to switch. In reality, you are the perfect person to switch from Windows to OS X. My girlfriend was just like you. Didn't initially have any interest in changing platforms, and wasn't that tech savvy (but wasn't a luddite either, for sure). I convinced her to get a Mac largely with the premise that Windows could be installed if she didn't like OS X. And she loved the hardware. So she got the Macbook, first night, and played around with it a bit. I came over the next day to install Windows and she told me she had no need for it and didn't want it at all. She has never used Windows at all since then. It took her one night to "adapt" herself to OS X and she said herself that she's more productive and happier using a computer since switching. And I know dozens more people exactly like this. Not only will you be the cool kid running OS X instead of clunky old Windows, you'll be more productive and happier too. How can you lose?
Anyway, if you have a specific app to run in Windows you can use Boot Camp. Boot Camp installs Windoze directly onto a separate partition on the hard drive. You can then use the Alt (Option) key to toggle between 'Doze and OS X at startup. Windows will run at full native speed, and will use the dedicated graphics chip in the MBP (if you get a 15/17" model that has one). Windows will use more power and generate more heat than OS X. As a result, battery life on Windows is considerably less than OS X (talking 3-4 hours compared to 5-6, probably).
If you do decide to go ahead with Windoze only (for some insane reason) then you will need to keep OS X around if you ever want firmware updates. Windows will never remind you of them, so you'll want to keep an eye on Software Update in OS X every month or so. The trackpad gestures will not work in Windows because Windows doesn't have trackpad gestures like OS X does. OS X is somewhere in the range of 6-8GB in size now, I think.
I say you should +at least+ give OS X a chance. Use it for a couple days. Ask questions if you have any. If you hate it after that, then go ahead and use Windows. But at least you'll know you tried something different. Learning new things (that are better than existing ways) is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. There is absolutely no reason not to be constantly learning and growing. To willingly shut yourself off from that is a shame, IMHO.

About job postings for Oracle Developers Please Help.

Hi to all.
This is not a specific doubt about development, is for employment.
This is not a Job Posting.
I have 2 years of experience developing in Oracle FOrms (Web ann C/s),with
another tools (like Jdeveloper),etc with a Bachellor degree in System - Engenering
Here in my country(Peru) the pay per hour is almost 5.9 to 6 US$ (a total per mounth is
between 1000 and 950 US$).
As you can see the standar level of salary is very low.
Even that level is considered "high" for our standars. (A Visual Basic /Sql-Server developer gets a 4.00 uS$ per hour).
I have seen (in the Oracle job postings page) amounts like 60 -50 US$ per hour for Oracle Developers.
So I have some questions for you , the real people who works in Oracle enviroments.
-That amounts per hour are really true?.
-IF its true (in countries like USA or CANADA) how much can I save ,having a normal life?
-In have passed the first OCP Exam,(3 left), but it is really necesary to get well-payed a Job?
-There are some many enterprises recruiting foreigners for IT jobs but (if somebody knows...),there are some good ones and the bad ones.Have you been heared about the bad ones,, and who are they??
Please I need your feedback.
Its very important to me any suggestion or comment because I'm planning to work outside.
Thanks for your attention.

Advice needed on possible virus related prob - please help!

Evening everyone,
I previously posted on here about an issue I was having with my external hard drive not mounting. I erased it and got it to mount but now I get an error message saying File could not be transferred as it could not be read or written.
I have recently come to suspect I might be harbouring viruses on my macbook as one turned up on my pendrive and on some email attatchments I've sent and was wondering if you think this could be causing the problem with the hard drive? If not - what might be? I've read that some people think it's a prob with tiger. Also can anyone recommend some virus software? I know a lot of people use clam but does that work with intel macs? Also I don't know much about the technical side of things and it doesn't look too user friendly - do you think it would be worth buying a full package like Norton?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Hi Sherman,
Thanks for your help! The ignore ownership box was already ticked. Tried to repair the disk and it did find errors but the repair did not work - it says that the underlying task report failure on exit. Any more suggestions? Is it not possible that I am harbouring a PC virus - it isn't affecting my mac but could it not be playing havoc with the hard drive? Or is that just broken and I should send it back?
I am currently studying in spain for the year but am from the UK and will be back there this weekend so am hoping to sort the problem out before then, or go visit the genius bar in london while I am home.
Thanks again!

IBook Possible Hard Drive Corruption - Please help diagnose

I left my iBook to download overnight and when I got up, it was really slow and laggy so I restarted it but it continually kept getting frozen at the last login screen, so I backed up my data via firewire, and erased the hard drive, and then installed OSX again. It worked for a bit, but then it crashed again, and between all these steps I have been repairing the hard drive using disk utility. It says that there is nothing wrong with the hard drive, but then it changes its mind after I've installed OSX again and it says there's a problem. Currently, the hard drive is blank, but it is coming up with a problem when I try and repair disk. The error that shows up is: "The underlying task reported failure on exist." as well as "Catalog file entry not found for extent."
I'm trying to diagnose the problem myself. I suspect that it is some form of hard drive failure. I don't want to take it in the shop because that will cost about $40 just to get it checked out, and I plan on installing a new hard drive myself if I find that that is the necessary step. If anyone has had similar problems, or knows what part needs to be replaced, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
PS. If someone has some time and has more experience in diagnostics, please feel free to message me on msn at roycelee@hotmail dot com

This is the best way to Erase and Install. First backup all your important stuff, if you can, as the following will erase everything on your drive; it will be unrecoverable. Put your install disk in your Mac and Restart while holding down the C key. In Tiger, When you get to the install screen, don't click install and go to the title bar at the top of the screen and click on Utilities (in earlier OS's click on the installer menu).
Click on Disk Utility and choose the hard drive you want your OS on. Then click on the Erase tab. In Tiger, click on the Security Options button near the bottom (it's similiar for Panther and Jaguar).
Once in there choose Zero Out Data (write zero's in earlier versions). This will map out any bad blocks on your drive and bring it back to almost new condition (providing there's nothing wrong mechanically with it, bad bearings, defective or damaged surface, etc.).
Once this is done, go back to the install screen and begin the "Erase and Install" installation. This will put a factory fresh system on a clean hard drive.
Cheers!

Question about Mail app and domain name please help

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this question so figured this would be the best area. I have a website which uses bluehost as it's web hoster. My email is set up through them, such as [email protected]
In my Mail app, I have the POP thing set up so when ever someone emails me it goes right to the Mail app. It works great for my personal computer, but when I go to work and go on other computers is where the problem is.
When I am on a random computer at work, I have to sign onto my webhosting site and then use squirrel mail. It is quite a hastle and is not the best. I would love to use gmail, but still keep my domain name I have.
One co-worker mentioned just forwarding all my [email protected] emails to my new gmail email. There are issue's with doing this because if I'm at work and email someone with gmail it will use that email address. Also, I want to be able to read all my sent messages from any computer including the sent messages that were within my Mail app. Is this possible?
Besides forwarding is there a better solution? It is sort of hard to explain. Basically I want my [email protected] address to be run through gmail, be able to access on any computer, have it be the only address in my mail app, and most importantly have the sent messages from mail app to be able to be read on all computers.
I think gmail lets you make a domain name email, without gmail being included at the end. But I already have the email address made...am I able to just swap it? And keep all my mail inbox info?
What's the best sollution for my problem?
Thanks

You would need to login to your web mail account to reply so that the email came from "[email protected]"
I try to get a gmail address that is close to the domain name like - [email protected] - so that I don't have to bother opening web mail as it is a pain.
I forward to Gmail and then Mac Mail because their spam blocker is the best.
A lot of web mail addresses bounce mail because the capacity is limited and the owners don't go into their control panel to launch their web mail and clear out the old stuff. Lawyers, in particular, are famous for this. For this reason I don't set web mail to keep a copy of the forwarded mail. If my web mail gets full of spam and they start bouncing then its not my problem!

Worried about a possible malicious ad-on Please Help!!!
