Just out of curiosity, now that the App Store is looking through and matching up your already installed software, what about people who have installed illegal versions or shared their serial numbers on more than one computer? Is it possible that the App Store will look at the serial numbers and block such software? It certainly sounds possible. Big brother warning here?
View 5 RepliesI -honestly- installed an illegal copy of iLife '08 just before the '09 came out, to try it. However, about 1 week later -or so- I bought the real thing (Legal copies of iLife & iWork).
Problem is:
when I tried installing the new version, it actually updated the older version, and the illegal copy serial number is still the registration number after-all!
Is there a way to solve this & go completely legal without loosing any of my files? (especially iPhoto)?
So top sites seems pretty cool but what if you are at work and shouldn't necessarily be surfing and sites start popping up in 'Top sites' for your boss to become aware of? I see no obvious way of blocking them. The 'Safari 4 launched' post is growing so fast it made sense for me to post this separately.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSeems Glimmerblocker isn't working with the beta release of Safari 4. Anyone have any luck blocking ads? Also, I'd love to block flash. The inability to block flash is probably the main reason I could never use Safari full time. The browser looks amazing and is very snappy, but alas.... I need plugin support.

I also installed ClickToFlash, and while it worked well, it kind of annoyed me when using, for example, youtube playlists, and i had to click on every single page in order for it to play. I get that it's what it's designed to do, but it wasn't really convenient for me.
I just re-installed SL and while perusing the adblock for Safari site, I found that adblock just works in 32-bit mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere is the situation. my family has someone staying with them our house who is basically addicted to internet pornography. They will be here for a while as they have hit a rough patch in their life and we are trying to help them out.
We already had a block set up with openDNS to effectively block all web sites through our router (apple time capsule) but that doesn't do anything to block p2p file sharing and our guest has figured this out. I discovered this because they are not too computer literate and all of their downloads from limewire and frostwire ended up showing up in their itunes shared library.
does anyone know of good software to turn the internet off on a schedule? i am looking for something like 'time out,' but that actually shuts the internet off so you can work without procrastinating. i want software that will allow me to turn the internet off for, say, an hour, and not allow me to turn it back on no matter what.

In other words, is watching a movie stream on MegaVideo illegal?
I really enjoyed "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and some other *cough* films... but did not download, only streamed it.
why is it whenever i try to download after effects trial it says illegal seek?

I'm tired of my brother getting terrible grades, not doing anything, and complaining about lagging all the time so how can I go about blocking world of warcraft from our network? I have a time capsule and found out that WoW uses port 3724 but that's all i know... If it can't be done with the network then how would I be able to block it on his computer without him being able to fix it with just a reinstall? (he has a PC)

My niece is 9 years old. Her mom, my sister, has allowed her to have an email account and she uses it!
I do not want to insult family, but do not want to receive her mass/forwarded "emails".
anway, im can't stand these ads, is there anything (even for safari 3) that would block them "similar to ad block plus" in firefox? if there is nothing im not even going to see if it better suits me. since i got a dvr and all this ad blocking add ons (you can actually target an add that isn't caught by the filter and make it filter it, amazing) i absolutely can not one bit stand there and take it from all these ads

I am using free.fr in France, and IPv6 is enabled as part of the service. There are certain services running that were only accessible to the local network, but I now find that if I know the IPv6 address of the machine they are world accessible. I tried limiting services to be only accessible to the local machine, by adjusting the settings in the Firewall configurations in the system preferences, but the services still seem to be world accessible. Do the firewall configurations ignore IPv6? Is there any way to make it so that services are only available to machines in the local networks via IPv6. I suspect I going to need a command line tool or a third-party tool.

I don't know much about networks (I'm a Mac girl; my knowledge of networks pretty much consists of "plug in Airport"). I don't know how they're blocking the sites they're blocking. Can anyone give me a concise, "go here, put in these numbers" kind of solution to ensure that my browser has free access today? I'm willing to pay for a pay service or app, if that's necessary. Not terribly worried about other ports being open; I can live without iChat if I can reach Gmail & Facebook via the web. using whatever the latest version of 10.6 is.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an iBook G4 with the slot load Optical Drive and right now I can't get the disk that's currently in it out. When I press the eject key I can hear it trying to eject it but then it goes back inside and it reads normally. I need to get the disk inside it out for the disk costs more than the computer it's in. I tried several ways to eject it, the slot isn't bent but I took a knife and felt inside the optical drive for anything that can be blocking it and noticed some piece of metal right in the front of the optical drive blocking the CD inside. I think it's something to protect the CD while it's in the drive but it look's like it's jammed. I will take the computer apart and pull the drive out if I have to but is there an easier way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm on a very small college campus where they graciously block every port except for web and a few other app ports (iChat video doesn't work, SMTP ports are blocked, and of course bit torrent doesn't work). I can usually get connected to the tracker, but no peers ever connect. Now for those who may chastise me for using bit torrent, I'm downloading a video my friend made in the US, so there is no legal aspect to this.

My problem is a pop-up window saying: "Popup blocking software has prevented display of the Trend Micro Security Services dashboard. Open an Internet Explorer window and enter url in the address box: [URL]. That first only popped up when I visited a new page (any page) but now it won't go away at all and I cant visit any page since it keeps popping up again and again and prevents other pages to load. (I'm writing this from my old PC). I normally use Safari but when I tried Explorer and Mozilla the same thing happened. I haven't installed anything from Trend Micro. I have recently moved to a new house where I share the router with my landlords downstairs.
