MALICIOUS PIECE OF SOFTWARE COULD RESULTS IN WEB BLACKOUT

Hi All, Don't want to freak you all out, but first heard about this yesterday and today got sent this link. Probably naive of me to think Mac users have no worries ? It looks legit to me. Any comments ?

Re: MALICIOUS PIECE OF SOFTWARE COULD RESULTS IN WEB BLACKOUT

Hi Jewels, I think in the Mac environment you will be safe. The only thing that I am aware that will create it is an .exe. trojan for a PC. Here is a link with more information, but half way down that page is another link which will check your machine to see if it could be affected.

Hi Paul, OS X 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard. Try an easy fix for your Mail problem first. 1. Open Mail 2. Click on your Gmail Mailbox that is showing the incorrect message count (to select it) 3. In the Menu Bar, click Mailbox Rebuild If that does not solve the problem: 1. Quit Mail 2. Go to your

Safari problem

Hello group, A friend has a problem with Safari. The pictures that are often included in a newspaper article are not shown anymore - only white square boxes - but the article itself comes up. She uses OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.5 in an iMac . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers,

Hi Ronni and Geoff, I have asked her to check the Display images setting. It was not checked, she has checked it and it's all back to normal. She's a very happy lady now. Thanks Ronni and Geoff, Cheers, Walter On 31/03/2012, at 8:46 , Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Walter, Just checking in case

Strange attachment issue with Mail ?

Hi folks, This actually began some while ago and I have been getting more more curious about it. If I copy any attachments from Mail to the desktop, then Trash them when I have finished with them, I am not able to delete them from Trash until I have quit Mail. This never used to happen and it

Hi Ronni, Bravo! Your second instruction (part 2) worked. Now it's all clear and now I have access to the new Mail. Thank you mostly kindly. Paul http://p21chong.wordpress.com CLICK HERE for your reading pleasure. On 31/03/2012, at 7:23 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Paul, OS X 10.6.8 is Snow

Re: Strange attachment issue with Mail ?

Hi Stephen, Are you using Mail in Snow Leopard? Are you receiving the file is in use error? Until the message with attachment has been sent, trash will not empty if it contains the attachment file, but it should after the entire message has been sent. Many times the file in use error is

Re: Strange attachment issue with Mail ?

Hi Stephen Though I don't have an exact answer for this (and have googled and repaired and modified to try and fix it), I have found some things that seem to make it a bit better. I sometimes come across the same hiccup with files. It can be for a few different ways of doing it I find. eg. I

Re: Read Mail Still Appearing As Unread

Hi Ronni, Perhaps it's too soon to rejoice. I still find the number indicator against the Mail and the cursor is still circling unendingly. This unstop performance by the cursor ring has been on since I thought the problem was solved. What's wrong? Paul On 01/04/2012, at 4:45 AM, Paul Chong

Re: Strange attachment issue with Mail ?

Thanks Ronni, Yes it is Snow Leopard (still nervous about Lion with my old 2.15 iMac) Hopefully will go all new in June anyway. Yes I get file in use error Files are definitely not open. Repair disk permissions quite regularly (especially before and after new install, as per your good advice)

Re: Read Mail Still Appearing As Unread

Hi Paul, When you moved the Envelope Index to the Trash and then opened Mail, did you allow it to complete recreating your envelope index? If you did not that could explain the 'beach ball' spinning. Without knowing how you have setup your gmail account on the Web and in Mail it is difficult

Re: Slow URL loading

Hi John, Are you sure you are NOT running Safari 5.1.5 in 32-bit mode? Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari. Also, since you are running v10.7.3 Lion,
