All hacked with Ransomware on Safari?
On March 4, I got a blue screen telling me to call the representative of Microsoft listed immediately to unlock my Mac Mini I was on Safari but all locked except the blue screen. Then a record came through my speakers explaining that I have a serious problem and that he should not try to do anything about it until I called the number on the blue screen. I was unable to do anything on Safari, but was able to open another browser through Firefox. From there on, I was able to delete all backups time machine current and restored in early March 3. Everything seems to work ok now, but today I saw an article by Palo Alto Networks, there may be a dormant malware that can resurface three days AFTER infection. PAN also said that this attack tries to enter backups time machine to prevent which, in my view, that I did to restore control. I'm not an expert by any means, but I have critical information that I can't afford to lose. I heard that some have paid a ransom for similar problems. I thought I was safe with Apple and my small business documents. I doubt that this question was exclusive to me. Any information on this topic or how to prevent it from repeating would be greatly appreciated.
The recent ransomware was limited to a certain version of the show, a torrent app. The developer has since published a clean version of their application. It would have shut up together on your computer, not just Safari.
You have encountered a website, appearing usually if you're in a shady site that locks Safari. All you had to do was Force Quit Safari and not visiting sites subject to this kind of popup advertising in the future.

Why goolgeearth does not work with Chrome and Safari but not Firefox
When in firefox using Google maps and click on "EARTH", I get a window indicating that, to use the 3D, I have to install 21.0 Google Earth plugin with option click on 'Download '. Note: Firefox 21.0 and MAC OS 10.7.5 have all current software updates installed. Safari and Chrome are asking not for any plug-ins and 3D Earth option works very well. ANY HELP?
PS my MAC has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed, but my MAC, Safari, and Chrome work fine.
Google Earth requires a graphic that comes pre-installed with Chrome and Safari plug-in. If Google Earth works on other browsers, install the Firefox plug-in is the solution. To install this on Firefox, download it from the prompt window, or go to https://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html.

iPhone 6 my screen is all black with white lightning
The screen is all black with white flashes when I turn it on. Is it a broken screen / digitizer or would it be a hardware problem? This also happened to me a months I did a factory reset. The screen flickered a few minutes after, but was wrong after that until now. Tried to do the same thing again with no luck.
I suspect a hardware problem. But try:

Windows 10. installed iTunes version 12.4.0.119. I have several iTunes libraries. On most of them display-> ' display as ' does not show the grid option. A library of fact. It's all music, with no video media. By default seems to be a list that is unchangeable.

I got a mini iPad 2 32 GB as a gift to replace a dead laptop but I'm not at all familiar with the product. Can I create and save word documents a presentations on a flashdrive off iPad mini?
You can create word documents and powerpoint presentations, but you cannot save them directly on a normal USB.
Microsoft made a version of office for iPad, you can find it in the App Store. Here is a link:
Word

PowerPoint
https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/Microsoft-PowerPoint/id586449534?Mt=8
There are usb drives that work with iPads, and you can save documents to those who use their own applications.

I can't not all sounds with Firefox, but I have a sound with Internet Explorer
I'm not all sounds with Firefox. I have a sound with Internet Explorer
Hi bholmes,.
Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.
There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.
Hope this helps!

Hello, I'm not able to get online at all sites with my system XP displays a 404 error code after a Trojan horse (trojan. ADH.2) was found and quarantined by norton. The system is slow or bottleneck at all, but I think that the registry has taken hostage by this Trojan horse. I tried to run Add ons, reset IE8, reinstall IE8 offline, I tried different users, tried to run a different browser (firefox). I can ping all the sites in the cmd prompt, but have no luck connection in the browser. A ran mohamed, superspyware, spybot. Is that what I can do without having to re install? I don't have the OS XP Media.
original title: error 404 on all sitesI wouldn't worry IPSec.
I think the most important things to address are:1 search for rootkits.2 empty the DNS.3 reset the proxy settings.4 reset the TCP/IP and Winsock settings.Good luck! -

Yes, essentially, but make sure they are a basic stereo headset, which means three bands metal with two insulating rings. The Sansa is quite happy with a 16 ohm headphone, and that they are effective, 32 ohms.

Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?
Hello
- Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
- Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
- Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
- Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
- In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
- Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.
