Yesterday Colloquy crashed on my iPad after an Arabic text string was pasted into the IRC channel that I was on. Another user using Linkinus under Mountain Lion on her Macbook Pro was also affected. As I understand it, this vulnerability has to do with applications that use Webkit. What is being done about it? Can we expect security updates for Mountain Lion and iOS 6 soon?

AFAIK, there has not been an update regarding this issue as yet.

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

    What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

    You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
    If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end.

    Thanks for your input. However I am hard pressed to see any rational correlation between the recent trojan and security issues on the https Apple Support Communities. Getting log-out after such a short amount of time  is the antithesis of user friendly behavior.

    I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

    As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
    If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
    Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • HT1414 Why do I get 'This message has no content' with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my MacBook Pro without any problem, and how can I fix it?

    Why do I get - 'This message has no content' - with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my Mac Book Pro without any problem and how can I fix it?

    Is this a POP (POP3) email account?  If so, you MacBook Pro may be retrieving the email and deleting it off the server before your phone can.  Another possibility is that both your Mac and your phone are trying to retrieving it at the same time, and the POP server, which will only allow a single email client connection at a time, is locking out your phone resulting in the "has not been downloaded from the server" error.

    When one app run and does any JPA related action it works fine , but when we try to run second app we are seeing the following error when trying to do JPA specific action .

    This is a class loader issue, somehow you have deployed the same classes in two places, so have two different versions of the classes.
    How, exactly have you deployed things, where are your domain classes?
    The issues is most likely that,
    Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("SpacesReposPUnit");
    will always return the same factory once it has been deployed.
    If you pass a properties map to createEntityManagerFactory and set the property "eclipselink.session-name" to a unique value, then you should get a new factory.

  • Error: A previous document of this type has been created with later date

    hi
    when i am adding invoice with a particular date.
    and if i am adding  another invoice for same customer with date previous to the first one i am getting this error
    pls tell the error were i have made and how to slove the error

    Om,
    Pleae check the following ...
    Marketing document with earlier posting date not added
    Symptom
    Error message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' and the document is not added.
    Other terms
    AR, AP, invoice, credit memo, reserve invoice, wizard, document, generation, past, previous, posting date, settings, initialisation, SAP Business One
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Business requirement that marketing documents with an earlier date than the current system date are entered.
    Solution
    Under Administration -> System Initialisation -> Document Settings -> Tab 'General' is a tickbox 'Block Documents with Earlier Date'.
    If this box is ticked, the error message 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' is received and the document cannot be added. This affects the following documents:
    AR and AP Invoice
    AR and AP Credit Memo
    AR and AP Reserve Invoice
    If the box is unticked, the system displays the message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date. CONTINUE or CANCEL.' If 'Continue' is chosen, the document can be added.
    This setting will also affect documents to be processed by the 'Automatic Summary Wizard'.

It has charge on it although i still tried plugging it in to give it power and still was unable to power up. Can anyone give any suggestions on how i can fix it as for its not even 2 months old.

    If you're going to put a phone in rice (not daft at all, the rice acts as a dessicant), it needs to be for a few days, not a few hours. The OP stated in their post that the did put it in rice. In addition to the liquid damage, salt water is also much more corrosive to electronics than plain water. The rice won't help with the salt.
