MacBook Pro :: Computer Frozen With Virus

Apr 22, 2012

I am not a computer technician. However, I believe my computer has a virus. It has some sychadelic pattern that is present when I start it up and will not let me access anything. This is the first time in six years that this has happened. If I can "dump" everything and then start from scratch, that would be OK. I just want my laptop to work again-I need it for school.

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

How can I tell if my computer has been infected with this latest Trojan (or with any Trojan)? I did install the latest update to Java when I was told by my iMac that new software was available for my computer, which was just 2 or 3 days ago (first week of April). Now it is being said that there was a Java Trojan.

OS X Technologies :: "Mac OS X Can't Be Installed On This Computer."?

Apr 22, 2012

Yes, this error message problem, again. I have to revert back to Mac OSX 10.6, from 10.7 Lion. (Lion runs fine on my MBP 2.3 GHz, but Canon doesn't offer a driver for my Canon EOS 5D, so I can't shoot tethered. It works fine on OSX 10.6.)

First problem: This MBP doesn't like DL DVD's, so I can't run the installer off of the DVD. I can burn DL's on this machine but I can't read these disks, it just spits them out. Flakey Superdrive or time for a cleaning? I installed from this disk before, and now I can't.

So, I made a bootable USB Flash drive with the OS X 10.6 installer on it. I restart, holding down the C key, and the installer starts off of the USB Flash drive.

Then I get this error message "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer." Is it because there are remnants of the OS X 10.7 Lion exist on the Startup Drive? Do I need to flatten that startup disk entirely before I can install an OS again?

I've installed plenty of different operating systems before, from various sources but I've never run into this before. No, I do not have the original OS installer DVD that came with this MBP.

OS X :: Password Protect A USB Key ?

Jan 4, 2011

Is there a way to define a password on any USB key, so the computer asks for a password each time the key is mounted on the desktop ? Will it also work on any PC (not just Macs) ?

I suspect it isn't currently possible.

If it isn't possible, how do you protect the files on a USB key ? I don't want to compress the files and encrypt them...

MacBook :: How To Protect MB?

Apr 7, 2009

I have had my blackbook for a while now. I have bought a cheap ebay cover that covers the keyboard as well as the palm part and it works good (I think) except it is starting to rip and does place keymarks on my screen. I have some dirt on the bottom of my screen under the plastic and in the hindge I see.

I need to find a way to clean it all and keep my keyboard and palm rest clean. I am a college student and on the go all the time so keeping a cloth and such in the middle is kind of hard.

But is there any other way of keeping my macbook in nice shape. I do have scratches on the outside but that is a different story.

Thanks in advance.

MacBook :: Finding Better Way Of Protect

Oct 30, 2010

I've had my 2010 Macbook since it launched and this thing just attracts grime and scratches. I literally left my Macbook on my desk for a day and all of a sudden it has two jagged scratches near the apple just by sitting on desk!

Now after that happened, I bought a Caselogic sleeve to protect it when not in use but now I have a green stain near the power indicator on the side of the palm rest. I tried cleaning it off with soap and water, it didn't work.

Then I googled it and I heard toothpaste might take out stains, so I tried that and it came off now but then it returned a couple of days later when I wasn't using the sleeve, so I figured it's not the problem. Cleaned it again with toothpaste and now there's a just a faint green stain I just can't get rid of.

OS X :: Password Protect Mail In Mac/

Feb 2, 2009

I know this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an adequate answer. In both Lotus Notes and MS Outlook, one is prompted for a password on opening (not just mail synching) that prevents access to your downloaded emails. Apple Mail doesn't seem to allow that...the password synchs only to the POP server, thus making your local email readable to anyone.

I've heard the point about users and accounts, but that creates even more headache for me. I've got a Mac Pro, which is my system, but also the primary "home media center" for the family household. So I want iTunes, movies, iPhoto, etc, always available. Setting up different "accounts" and users for everyone creates a nightmare to share and organize the "public" apps and files. I also don't want to "password" protect the account and system, as that still limits the access to "public" apps. And having a separate account for me, still means I have the headache of synching these "public apps" to my account.

This would all be much simpler if I could have Mail require a password upon opening. I do still want my email private. I don't think this is such an extravagant use case...seems like a lot of folks are looking for something similar. It's the only thing I'm missing from Windows XP.

So has anyone sorted a means of doing this?
