I accidentally opened a virus folder off of my flashdrive from the school computer. I dragged the folder and .exe file to the trash bin and deleted them. I forgot what it is called but it put a restore folder in the flash drive. I was never given the prompt to put my password in to install anything (I wouldn't have if I was.)
View 3 RepliesThis just started happening today. I have little snitch monitoring the network activity and it's generally quite calm, however now it's going crazy with incoming connections from other students (I'm on a university campus) and iphones of all sorts.

I have loaded photos to a flashdrive and would like to use my MacBook to present a slideshow, but would like to have control over length of time slides are shown and change slides when I want. Is going on iPhoto the only way, and if so how do I control the slides individually?

I accidentally saved a folder from my computer hard-drive named "law" to replace a folder named "law" on my flash drive. (I was trying to back up my flashdrive and completely messed the whole thing up) The folders contained different named files. What I am looking to recover are microsoft 2004 word documents.
I already looked in user/.../Microsoft user data

I was looking at the site for the new macbook air and noticed the usb backup/restore drive that's included.
I think it's really cool and very thin, and is a great design for a consumer flashdrive. Do you think apple would do this? Or leave this little thing for the mba backup only?
Of course i know there are plenty of other flashdrives out there that work perfectly, but i was just thinking that maybe apple could do something cool for them like something Mac OSX specific (such as how sandisk has that "u3" interface that only works on windows)
I have been pulling a folder with sub-folders from iMAC Desktop to a flashdrive so as to use on my Macbook when I travel. Suddenly after several months with no problems I am getting the msg "The Finder cant complete the operation because some data in * cant be read or written. (Error code -36)" The folder won't copy to flashdrive. I have checked flashdrive with Disk Utility, tried different flashdrive, to no avail. the only way I can move the folder is by moving sub-folders one by one and if they generate the same msg by moving their files one by one. I cannot move as a whole. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. It is possible that this commenced after installing an OS X update but i can't be sure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing this from a Panera Bread, as my school's internet won't work on my MacBook since a fresh install of SL.There isn't much to say, except I cleared out all my old Airport profiles, and my old networks. My school will let me connect for about 5 minutes, then it kicks me off (I see the exclamation point over the Airport icon in the menubar). I checked a friends MB without SL, and she is connecting no problem.My school's network was never protected according to Airport (never saw the padlock), but whenever I would go to connect it would ask for my username and password.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to find a way to get into the admin account on my school laptop. The way I did it last was reset the PRAM and get into safemode to delete a startup file so I could make another admin account and change passwords that way. But I'm pretty sure the IT people at my school did something weird to these things. When you take the battery and L-bracket out and remove a stick of RAM and all that and hold down option+command+P+R to reset the parameter RAM, it doesn't even restart or ding. I've done this many many times last year so there's no chance I'm doing wrong. It's not just my computer that won't boot into safemode either. I'm cool with using discs, but I don't know if I'd need an admin password to use them.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm in medical school and I can watch videos of my lectures online when I am on campus ONLY (I suppose it only allows certain IPs on the site.) This proves to be very frustrating because I have to commute an hour to campus just to watch the videos. I was wondering if there was a way to just simply go to campus and download the videos. (FYI I'm not sure if this is helpful but I have I just got the brand new macbook, I have quicktime pro but I could only get the video (no audio). to get audio I had to download windows media player. I had flip4mac and that would only give me video only as well, no audio. I've been told that only WMP will work by multiple people. I have XP under bootcamp if that is at all helpful. But once again I would just like to simply download the videos so that I no longer have to come to campus to get them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a little frustration with the wireless in my school. Every time I try to connect to "CPSWIRELESS", on my G4, it says it's connected, even if it automatically gives me an (inaccurate) random IP address. I've typed in all the IP address numbers & stuff (I've found one of the DELLs working with wireless) in system preferences, and the pasword to unlock it, and it will not get on. I even have a Full AirPort signal. I didn't just use the exact same IP address from the PC; I've changed the digits after the last decimal after that. Didn't work either.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a great offer from someone who bought a brand new MacBook Pro 13" this year. They have used it only a couple of times. They're selling it for $975 with Microsoft Office installed. 4GB Ram, 500 GB Hard Drive, 2.4 ghz, etc. Since I'm buying this Macbook Pro for grad school, I figure I'm still getting about a $200 discount, but I know apple usually gives a back to school discount of some sort - like a $100 gift card, or iPod touch, etc. Does anyone know the back to school rewards this year? What should I do? Buy the macbook pro from this guy or buy it from apple?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.1.x)
Yes I know that is a tall order, but is there a backpack out there which looks nice, accommodates the macbook pro 15" and also a fair amount of room for school books?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI want to keep track of all my results/grades in my subjects.
However, i'm not kidding, there is NOTHING that i have seen that does this.
I bought a 13" MBP for $1099 along with the iPod Touch 8GB and Canon printer. I am having second thoughts about my purchase and would just prefer the Air for basic college needs and, of course, portability. If I do return/exchange at the apple store, can I do this by just exchanging my MBP for a MBA without my free iPod and printer promo being taken away? I have already given the iPod as a gift, but still have the printer on me. Also, I am heavily considering just getting a refurb off Apple.com but I think that will just make the process harder with the free iPod and printer.

Anyway, for the whole hour and a half I didn't do anything because the ****** Winbox failed on me... Even the ICT teacher at the school didn't have a clue... Lol then she said that I'd be better when the school gets Macs
