anyone had problems with the Mac taken hostage by ransomeware?

Hey portogermano,

I have not had problems yet, but I've heard that sort of ransomware is distributed through a program called Transmission.

If you can, try to avoid this software!

If you are installing applications from one other source other than the Mac App Store, make sure you can check the original source and always go to the site of real editors, so that you know that you are getting the real thing, not a bad software.

  • Anyone having problems with the GENERATED_KEY in CF8 lately?

    Anyone else have problems with the GENERATED_KEY value returned by a cfquery when using ColdFusion 8 and MySQL?

    I'm inserting records in a MySQL 5.0 DB and then enter the result. GENERATED_KEY and assigning my ID of objects field. Nothing spectacular here.

    In my test harness, everything works fine but when I download files to my host I get this error;
    An error has occurred at the request:
    Error code: Server.Processing
    Details of the fault:
    Error string: cannot call CFC - element GENERATED_KEY is undefined in QCREATERESULT.

    I thought that there must be a bug I introduced so I check my code and ensured that it worked on my system and Uploaded the cfc again just to be sure there was nothing broken in transit.

    Always had problems.

    So, I checked the Web and found that the MySQL Connector/J version 5.1.5 has a problem with that. I contacted my provide my Site host and has asked to check the environment that I was for me.

    I was told it is ColdFusion 8 (as it should be.)

    At the beginning when I asked what version of Connector/J server on that I had used on me version 3.51. This is not a version of connector for all those of you who did not have to deal with it. (At least one that would have shipped with CF8.) That sounded more like the version of the MySQL server, but I was supposed to be on a 5.0 Server and my account information specify also the same, so I let this drop for now.

    After having to explain how to find a way to know what the version of the connector was attached their support they told me that it was 5.05 (has happened to the version that I already told him was the version I thought comes with CF8, if I'm wrong.)

    And I asked him to confirm that the DB was version 5.0.

    So assuming that told me the truth. I can't find a reason why the GENERATED_KEY are not returned.

    My CFQuery insert code looks like this;

    < cffunction name = "crΘer" output = "false" access = "private" returntype = 'Cancel' >
    < cfset var qCreate = "" >

    < cfset var local1 = Field1 () >
    < cfset var local2 = Field2 () >
    < cfset var local3 = Field3 () >
    < cfset var local4 = Field4 () >
    < cfset var local5 = Field5 () >
    < cfset var local6 = Field6 () >
    < cfset var local7 = Field7 () >
    < cfset var local8 = Field8 () >

    < cftransaction isolation = "read_committed" >
    < cfquery name = "qCreate" datasource = "datasource" username = "userName" password = "password" result = "qCreateResult" >
    Insert into myTable (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, sphere5, case Field6, Field7, Field8)
    values)
    < cfqueryparam value = "" #local1 # "cfsqltype ="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"/ >,"
    < cfqueryparam value = "" #local2 # "cfsqltype ="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"/ >,"
    < cfqueryparam value = "" #local3 # "cfsqltype ="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"/ >,"
    "< cfqueryparam value =" "#local4 #" cfsqltype = "CF_SQL_INTEGER" = null "#iif ((local4 eq""), ("yes"), ("No.")) #" / >.
    < cfqueryparam value = "" # locale5 # "cfsqltype ="cf_sql_integer"/ >,"
    < cfqueryparam value = "" #local6 # "cfsqltype ="cf_sql_integer"/ >,"
    < cfqueryparam value = "" #local7 # "cfsqltype ="cf_sql_varchar"/ >,"
    < cfqueryparam value = "" # locale8 # "cfsqltype ="cf_sql_integer"/ >"
    )
    < / cfquery >
    < / cftransaction >
    < cfset variables.objectID = qCreateResult.GENERATED_KEY >
    < / cffunction >

    [No I am not really using Field1, 2, 3 in my code and my password is not actually password, but you get the point].

    Again, this works in my lab. (CF8, MySQL 5.0, Apache, standard Connector/j) That is what it is?

    Personally, I think that my environment is not what it was supposed to be regardless of what I was told. The rep that I was talking doesn't seem to know much about ColdFusion and at the end of the conversation, he said as well and opened a ticket. Not very useful, but at least not rude.

    However, I want to be fair and check all the possibilities. If you see something wrong with my Code let me know that I'm rather crazy eyes will then return to writing queries to get the id.

    Thanks in advance!

    PS: Just before posting this I tried to add < cfset var qCreateQuery = "" / > to the list of the variables just to see if it would change what anyone and it doesn't work. " Still works on my system, but not on them.

    Found the problem.
    The environment has been set up correctly, but the DSN apparently obtained the value a MySQL 3.51 Driver to the administrator.
    It's something that my hosting service, I have no control on however I also don't even think about asking them to check for me either. I forgot that CF has even a version 3 driver for MySQL.

    So my hats off to HostMySite technicians who concluded that, for me and for anyone having the same problem, I suggest you also check the same.

  • Anyone having problems with the new iPhone LTE connection 7 on Verizon?

    I am now on my iPhone second 7 with Verizon. I had four phones for me and my family. I have now had issues where I have no signal in the same areas where my signal allows to be strong. I can't solve the problem with the activation/deactivation of the airplane and then mode again in normal mode. My phone will rest with no signal for 5 minutes, then going to LTE with three bars. I also had the problem where I had only 1 x signal, while my son standing right next to me has LTE. And he had the same questions, where I'm on LTE and it gets no signal. I use to have LTE where I live and work all the time, now it's spotty at best. Apple has replaced me and my sons iPhones but not luck. Still do. Any ideas or an any other suffering?

    (1) go to settings/cell phone/cellular data Options/enable LTE and select ONLY the DATA. This seems to solve the problem (as a temporary solution) for most of the people affected by this problem. The bad part is your request might not be as clear (since they cannot use the highest LTE signals) and you can make calls and data at the same time. But it does not solve the issue.

    (2) there are rumors (but you didn't hear that from me that we only are not supposed to discuss beta software program Apple in this forum) that the new version of Apple Beta for iOS (which also includes an update of the software carrier Verizon to 26.0) seems to solve this problem. So, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Someone had problems with the shutter speed on the Canon 70 d?

    I've used a Canon 60 d which was brilliant! My husband bought me a 70 d at Christmas as a surprise. However, I have problems with the shutter speed. In automatic mode, everything is fine but on manual, Av, Tv etc I seem to be unable to change the shutter speed of a very slow release. I want to know if the unit is defective somehow, or if there is something I should be doing that I'm not. Please can someone advise/inform me what I can do wrong or if it's something I should take with Canon?

    First of all, you need to reset your 70 d to the factory settings. Check your manual for more information on how to do it.

    You can't troubleshoot anything until you are zero squared.

  • Anyone else had problems with the connection switched to the internet automatically? More details

    I had this problem since the first part of January 2011. I use a dial-up connection, I have windows vista home Premium 32 bit. I can click on the internet icon on my desktop what the little box that has a checkbox to automatically connect to the internet, the diallog which is supposed to have the name of the internet connection is empty, it tries even to compose, but he does not open the port to dial an outside line. All the time I have a tick on my tab internet connections dial options each time that a network connection is not present or always dial my connection default slot choose settings if you need to configure a proxy server for a connection, it will not work on one, I can manually connect using of these (one at a time) but every time I click on the internet icon does not recognize a connection already exists, I get this message telling me that I need to connect to the cause of the internet, I work in offline mode. Whenever I get that message I click on connect to go online then it trying to connect automatically by calling and then I get this message, it cannot establish a dial-up access and still it does not open the port to dial an outside line.

    I can connect manually using the same connection and put the check box on the never dial a connection under select parameters if you need to configure a proxy server for a connection on the connections to internet options tab and I don't have a problem connecting to the internet. I did a reset and set up a new connection and that didn't work either.

    The Connection Wizard recalled the correct information, it was not correct that then I would not use this same computer online now. The reason is that I am currently using the same computer that has the problem of not being able to connect to internet automatically online. This same computer that has the problem of not being able to connect to the internet automatically, it will connect manually using exactly the same ISP configuration by routing the connection in order to never establish a connection on the internet connections tab options, while I'm on dial upward, it is assumed to be always dial my default connection under choose settings If you need to configure a proxy server.

    I have windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with service pack 2
