How can I check my Mac mini for spyware and other viruses
How can I check my Mac mini for software spyware and other forms of virus? Recently, I received an electronic invoice which seems to come from Apple on a purchase that I did not. Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.
My Mac was purchased in 2011 and runs on OS X El Capitan (version 10.11.6).
Kind regards

Receive a fraudulent e-mail for a purchase confirmation, you did not is a very common scam. Remember that you are not misled by providing personal information solicited by this e-mail.

No harm will come of the fact that you wrote. Fraudulent Web sites that are made to appear as legitimate those who are specially designed to convince you to reveal personal information. If you don't have that, no further action is necessary or justified. Do not install anything, no matter the source or the apparent popularity, in response to one such scam. To do this would be the first step in a path well worn to the misery.
On the other hand, if you were tricked into providing personal information (like your Apple ID and password) you will need to change your password on Apple ID. Please write back for instructions.

I have been using Photoshop Elements 9 to change my digital photos from iPhoto. I found using both these confusing applications and decided to only use Photoshop Elements 9 to edit and organize my photos. Right now I can only access the editor of Photoshop Elements 9 of my iMac Apple Dock. How can I access all the features of Photoshop Elements 9 of my iMac Apple Dock? Should what steps I follow to move all of them now organized in iPhoto in the Photoshop elements 9 multimedia?
The next time that you start the Organizer, go in the Dock, click on more and hold its icon there and go to options more > keep in dock.
To copy your photos from iphoto, go to file > import from iphoto. This will duplicate your photos, however.

can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?
I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.
Hi readingteacher,.
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.
This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:
Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode
As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.
I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

If I hit "delete" instead "delete from disk" in an attempt to get rid of unwanted photos, where are they going? How can I access them on a Mac to remove?
They are scattered in several files. Many are in a specific folder.
My problem is that I can't locate them. I want to just get rid of them to save space and future confusion.
If you could me a tip assuming that they are in a single folder, that could help me today and tomorrow.
Thank you very much.

I LR4 on my Mac with a few 8 000 images on it. If I buy the creative cloud, do I download LR5 on my desktop and how can I access these images or are they automatically imported?
