You're kidding, right.  Unasked for download of McAfee?

Seems like there's been some brain death at Adobe - download adobe reader got me an unwanted download and installation of McAfee - no explanation, no ability to opt out.   Did IQs drop suddenly at Adobe?

The unwanted software is not bundled with the Reader, but the download manager.
Download the executable installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and you won't get anything else but the Reader.

  • Safari 3.1 Update: You're Kidding, Right?

    For the life of me, I'm trying to figure out exactly what has been "updated" here.
    Whatever version was before this (3.0.4?) totally ruined Safari for me --so I was totally stoked when I saw there was finally an update, thinking it would have resolved all the issues from that previous version.
    Nada --no such luck.
    Safari is still as s-l-o-w as the chick in front of you on the freeway talking on her cell phone (if not, slower now) --which, of course would include the ever-popular "Safari can't open the page" --whilst Firefox, which I can't stand, already got there years ago!
    Safari also has still not made up its mind which favicons it wants to have appear in my bookmarks, having different ones appear randomly for me in each session.
    Autofill? Yeah, right.
    And this one has got to be my absolute fave: not highlighting (changing it from blue to purple) already clicked-on headings from Google web searches --unless, of course, I go back and just touch the heading with my pointer --THEN it highlights.
    And while we're on the subject of highlighting and Google, I've gotta make absolute certain I indicate CORRECTLY in the search field what I'm searching for the first time, because if I make a mistake, attempting to highlight what I just wrote in order to edit/remove it requires a VERY steady hand or it won't stay highlighted (what's WITH Safari and Google anyway?)
    Amazing!

    Amazing indeed. Can't think how you got your system in that mess, but:
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta, and now Safari 3.1. If Safari 3.1 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 and 3.1 use a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.1.
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-002. Like all security updates, this requires a restart and a permission repair.
    As Leopard also uses Safari 3.0.4, much of the above may well also apply to Leopard, but is not guaranteed. Moreover:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Safari in Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
    ALSO:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions.
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

  • How do you find the right replacement for a hard drive

    i have a 2007 macbook and the hard drive just went out and i want to find a new one that would be combatible

    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
    Or OWC for regular hard drives and SSDs  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    After you put in your new hard disk put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

  • HT4914 when you have subscribed to iTunes match do you still have to pay for downloading?

    and is there a limit to how much you download per month or year?

    You've paid to have your music collection that is on your computer's iTunes (whether it was bought from iTunes, bought from other sites and/or copied from CDs) stored in the cloud - so you can then access/download/stream from your computers and/or iOS devices without having to copy them over yourself

  • Airport software version 5 for Windows not available for download?

    Hi, Apple.
    You're kidding, right?
    I can download the Airport 5 update for Windows, but that update won't run if AirPort 5 isn't already installed.
    Where am I supposed to get it in the first place? My laptop is very tiny, it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive.
    Don't bother replying to this.. By the time you read this message I will have already popped the CD in my Linux machine and copied the files over via SSH. Then I'll run the update.
    In the future, please make things easier for me.
    Furthermore, how about you update the Airport (N) itself so that it will add local machine's hostnames to the embedded DNS server? I mean, heck, you already have features that let me reserve IPs based on MAC address or DHCP client ID... Those machines in the least should be easy to resolve.
    Cheers,
    --Dave Loyall

    I suspect that Apple wants us to buy the Airport Extreme, or replace our Airport Expresses with Apple TVs. The AX is a wireless G/B product, and the new draft is N ... which is better for streaming larger media files.
    Anyway, you can try this for a Windows system:
    1. You will need a program called Less_MSIerables. Google it.
    2. Download it to your desktop and unzip that file (it should end up in your unzipped file folder)
    3. Now, download Airport Extreme software.
    4. Run
    5. A window will open that states "This Update requires AirPort Version 5.0 to be Installed".
    Don't exit from this window.
    6. <Vista> Instead, go Start ->start search and type in %temp%. Enter. <XP: use Run instead of Search and type in %temp%. Enter.>
    7. You will see a file folder called something like IXP050.TMP (the number varies)
    8. Open it.
    9. You should be able to see a file called APsetup.msi.
    10. Click your mouse on it, but don't open it.
    11. At the top of the window you will see the address of this file. If not, click the yellow file folder in the address bar. Copy that address.
    12. Next go to the folder in which you saved the unzipped version of Less_MSIerables
    13. In a subfolder you will see a file called Lessmsi.
    14. Right-click on this file
    <Vista Only>
    15. Go to properties.
    16. Go to compatability.
    17. Run in XP Mode
    18. Apply
    19. OK
    20. Again right-click on icon.
    21. Run as administrator.
    <Vista and XP>
    22. In the window that pops up, paste the address of Apsetup.msi
    23. You will see a list of many files, but one of the first will be APUtil.exe.
    24. Extract this file to a location that you can easily find.
    25. A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1
    26. Open that file folder and you will see a file APUtil.exe
    27. Click on that file, and the admin utility will open. You should be able to find your airport device.
    I suggest that you move this file to your desktop for easy access.
    If you are doing this for an Apple computer, there are posts on how to do it; and I think it is a good deal simpler to do.
    Peace out.

  • Can you Connect Cisco switch modules for to N2K?

    I have not seen anything about connecting Cisco Switch modules for Blade Chassis to fex.  Does anybody now if you can do that?
    thank you.

    thank you Lucien.
    I think you got a right name for N2Ks, a NIC card extender.  In my opion N2K should be able to support Blade switches. Not every company has just rack mount servers, most enviroment is mixed. In my case, I run out ports on N5K, but plenty available on N2K.  I want add two more blade centers with gig switch modules in them. now I have to buy a N5K!!!.  I'm sure Cisco can make N2K to support switches too.

  • Edge Inspect not available for download (mac)

    I've check the system requirements, and as far as I can tell I have what it takes. MBP i7, 8GB RAM, OSX 10.8.2. But Edge Inspect is not available for download/install neither in the creative cloud webpage, or in the application manager. Whyy?

    The issue should now be fixed. The direct link that you should be taken to for download is https://creative.adobe.com/inspect. From there click the Download button. Edge Inspect will not appear as an Install link in the Adobe Application Manager, you need to get it from the website.

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • After installing iTunes update I couldn't get into iTunes so I uninstalled but when I try to reinstall and click download now it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

    After installing the latest iTunes upgrade I could not access my iTunes so I uninstalled it and all of it's components like instructed in support but when I try to reinstall and click on download now, it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
