I have a mac book pro with Safari OS..some kind of Hack, secret virus/stroke key etc..and I need help in trying to fix it. I need to be contacted at the hotmail address, as I go to the library to get this uncompromised email. If you write, I will reply with problem in detail as much as I can explain-I am not too computer literate..I DO know who has done it. I guess that is a start..They say they are better than any APPLE hackers, techs, genius bar etc. and cannot be detected..
Seems I get headaches or at least eye strain from staring at my Mac Book Pros glossy screen all day.
I've always spent way to much time on my LapTops over the years & I know that in its self is not good for your eyes, But it seems that this glossy screen is making it much worse.
I dont remember dealing with this with the Mat ( non-glossy screens ) before.
Might this glossy screen be doing this? Should I get a film for it?
I'm a PC user, and one of my friend has a Mac book. Recently he lost his data and ask me to recover his data for him but I'm not good at Mac. So, do you guys know how to easily recover all his data? What are the best software to do that?
I just got mine last week & started with some video editing today & after a few hours, I can feel it in my eyes... Should I get a matt screen cover or maybe one of those Crystal film screen covers, Like this one? [url]
I'm considering buying a new Mac Book Pro 13" inch. Will windows 7 run on this? Has anyone tried it, what sort of battery life am I looking at? Will I lose some functionality, like the backlit keys?
i have a SR Macbook pro (late 2007) with OS X 10.4. i hooked it up with Western Digital MyBook Studio 1TB (external USB drive). the drive is correctly partitioned and formatted. using GUID and HFS+, quite often upon connecting, the drive start up, then spun down again imediately. strangely enough, the drive is still connected, the indicator light is still on, and the drive is still mounted under "disk utility", the volume however does not. if that makes sense. should i be worried? anyone else experience this problem? does this indicate that there is a problem with the drive? or a problem with mac os x? - i do have freeagent pro drive before, and it also have trouble with the drive jamming mid file transfer.
My mac book pro 15" next gen has now only 16 colors no matter what i do like no matter how many times i reboot or shut down or reset my hardware i only now get 16 colors.
1) how much is the maximum capacity of the new battery? I'm getting 5500mAh per full charge... is this correct?
2) "if you intend to keep your laptop plugged for a long time, remove the battery" Ok. So how do I follow this rule if the battery is built-in? ahhahaha!
3) Apple says to recalibrate the battery once a month... but how often is it good to unplug? once a day? once a week?
4) at what percentage should I plug the laptop back in if i'm NOT recalibrating?
I know it sounds Outlook-ish, but I think it'd be nice to be able to have my calendar and contacts show within Apple Mail -- that way, everything is right there in one window, and any changes I make are synced to Gmail / GCal, since that's the source of my calendar and contacts.
Have only found one reference to a since-defunct piece of software. Can this be done, preferably via freeware -- or even software options I missed?
It's a old version MacBook Pro 15.4" 2008 Edition, Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz (i think) 2GB Ram, 250GB HDD
The problem I encountered was that one day when I was using my laptop I forgot to turn it off and then my laptop went to 'sleep' mode, when I came back and tried to turn on my laptop I could hear the sound but my display was black.
I thought it was just a minor problem so I just restarted my laptop but the problem consisted...
Unfortuately my warranty ran out but still I still put my laptop through the checkup in the official Apple customer center and they said that I needed to purchase a new part PCBA, MLB, 2.5 GHZ, REV2.
i have been sent a voip program, which is free to use, but the website is blocked in the country where i am. is there any program i can use to quickly check the file before i open it and load it on my daughters mbp?
What do people use? on pc, i use avast and i know some people use AVG. so any good anti virus program. i know that i wont need it most of the time as macs dont get viruses but still...
In mac, when you say download a virus, must it be open/run before it can excute itself? does it also require the user's password before it can continue? if you did not open/run it, then the virus will not excute and lay dormant inside itself or its package (trojan). is this correct?
A PC user got a virus that sent emails to all his contacts with a link. I opened the link and now get many emails, from "root user" usually ads for medicine. Is this just an annoying problem I have now live with or are there other dangers I should be aware of. Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
It may have only been on the shelves in the US for a few weeks but the Apple iPad has already been hit with a virus.
BitDefender has reported that it has found malware links are being sent to iPad users which disguise themselves as an iTunes update.
The malicious link comes in an email, explaining that if you update your iTunes you will be given "…best performance, newer features and security".
Once clicked, any sensitive data stored on the users' iPad may be used for exploitation.
Backdoor man
BitDefender said about the virus in a release: "Identified by BitDefender as Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY, the piece of malicious code inadvertently downloaded injects itself into the explorer.exe process and opens up a backdoor that allows unauthorised access to and control over the affected system.
"Moreover, Backdoor.Bifrose.AADY attempts to read the keys and serial numbers of the various softwareinstalled on the affected computer, while also logging the passwords to the victim's ICQ, Messenger, POP3 mail accounts, and protected storage."
The dodgy link is primed for the iPad as it seems that Mac users are unaffected by the link.
The Apple iPad has a delayed UK release date of 'May' – hopefully without a virus.
Just got my new Macbook Pro 13 a few days ago, so far I love it but not used to the MAC OS so I have a few questions.
1. Is there a way to see the actual signal strength/transmission information for the Wifi connection other then the 4 little eclipses? Doesn't seem like I'm getting a full wireless-n signal but somewhere around wireless-g.
2. When I install a program or at least it has happened with AppCleaner and Firefox, it put an icon on the desktop, sort of like when I have a DVD in with the Eject, Get Info ... etc options, I managed to remove them by choosing the Eject option. Is this normal?
3. Do I really need a virus scanner, I've seen a 50/50 split on yes and no.
I really like the look of both (pretty similar to me) but i like to have 13' and as thin as possible with optical drive and seems like Pro line has the 13' but does it only available in the reddish brown color? does it come in brush black finish?
Im in the market of getting two notebooks 16' for my bro and myself 13' no smaller/bigger than 13' and both with optical drive (must) and ofcoz thin! could you guys recommend some (dont care about brand) 16' must under 1500$ haha and 13' no problem cuz that's mine (i already have the Sony Z so no more Z i want a different brand than Sony for my 13') no net book for me and im not a gamer so dont really care about the graphic card
I have an SXPS 1340 running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have tried to connect a Western Digital My Book Home external HD through the esata port but i can't get the computer to recognise it. Has anyone else successfully connected this model HD to the 1340 through esata? To those of you who have successfully connected a different external HD through the esata port what brand and model of external HD are you using?
I've had my Inspiron E1505 for about 2 1/2 years and dont get me wrong, i love my comp... i recently got a really, really bad virus and i tried running my anti's and it won't let me.. tried running microsoft's live scan and won't let me do that... i tried turning it on about 30 minutes ago and as soon as i log on it automatically logs me right back off even if i try it in safe mode... when it would let me turn it on it would make occasional random sounds.. i really need my laptop up and running again
Recently my laptop's desktop and icons have started to flash randomly,things like the sound icon has a x on it.A couple of days a ago avast warned me about a win32:trojan(other) in 2 places.
I looked at dell's instruction to replce the gpu but i think it would be to hard for me to do and my warranty is over.
I somehow got infected with a horrible virus, I think it was possible a trojan horse or something along the lines of that. So then, I restarted my computer, but I chose "Safe Mode with Command Prompt".
However, it started listing a bunch of files on the black screen, so I shut it off, and tried to restart it, but failing.
Then, the computer said I should do a "system restore", so I found my system restore CD's, and had the computer do a system restore. Everything was going well, and when it finished restoring, I restarted it, yet again to see a message saying there was a fatal error and I need some sort of software or something.
I've been getting different problems that are crippling my PC now (E1705), it could very well be a virus, as my little sister was on here a day before they started, although I ran AVG and Trendmicro housecall scans and got nothing.
The first problem I got was an "ieframe.dll bad image" error. It caused various programs to not work, from IE, to games, to AIM, and even seemed to mess up certain websites? (facebook).
I replaced that DLL file and no-longer get the error, but the same programs don't work I get ***.exe errors now on various programs or they just simply don't come up. Not quite sure what the problem is, I've tried system restore, virus scans, chkdsk and have had no sucess.
I am about to take delivery of a new M4400 with all the bells and whistles, running vista ultimate 64, and plan to upgrade to Win 7 in the near future.
My faithful Latitude D600 circa 2003 has been running on AVG free edition and without significant issues, and also I am using Zone alarm as the firewall.
I am not certain you can get these in 64 bit, or even if they are the better solutions these days, so looking for alternatives.
I got a new 250GB hard drive for my HP Compaq 6820s hard drive a few weeks ago and now I can't boot from it as it's been infected with a virus which prevents it from booting. [I get a brief flash of the infamous "Blue Screen" before it returns to the HP screen.
Is there any way; software-wise that I can clean the hard drive of any viruses if I put it in an external caddy?
