How can I now if I have a malware or a virus?
Hi, I just drop on a Web site that gave me a warning of a possible virus or malware on my computer (I'm nervous and I closed it down) so I don't know if it's a warning to safari from apple or a malware or a virus on the site
What happened between the two, and a few minutes later, it's my mac started to go very slowly (always the safari was opened) and I tried to look for the problem but I couldn't do anything because he has everything locked for a few seconds and slowly again
so I closed safari and restarted the Mac.
now everything seems fine
so I deleted all cookies, history and cache I've seen on other posts in this forum
but I'm afraid I have a virus or malware or something
but I went to research, and new versions of the mac does not come with Java installed (so mine)
So it is possible that I still have something, since I had no java installed and already deleted all cookies, history and cache and all data Web site?
The pop-up is just a simple Javascript and tries to rip you off.
And no, there is no virus in the wild which will infect your Mac.
If you stay alert and keep your Mac OS X up-to-date, you'll be fine.

I have more than music in itunes my ipod can hold, the last time I synced, there was a box to synchronize playlists only, now it's over so how can I now sync playlists only, you can see?
Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window. The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music. To the right, the settings screen of music from iPod, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
NOTE: All of the songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.
Check the box to Sync music (if it isn't already). Below, choose the option synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below, under playlists, select (check) the playlists you want on the iPod. You can also select other articles on other lists, as you wish. Click Apply to sync your selection to iPod.
Further, iTunes automatically updated the iPod with the changes made to the selected part of the iTunes music library. For example, if you update a list of selected reading (add/remove songs), updates iTunes, the iPod with the same changes the next time you connect (or click Sync if already connected).

I just changed computers: How can I now use creative cloud on my new computer?
I just changed computers: How can I now use creative cloud on my new computer?
First of all, if you still have access to the older computer, log out of CC activation on this computer by visiting any product > help > log out. This will disable your activation on the previous PC.
Then go to the website of creative cloud and download applications directly or download desktop applications and downlad CC through that.
If you do not have access to old PC, and you get a message like 'limit reached activation', follow the steps in this document:

I've been upgraded to El Capitan and electricity went off and stopped the session. I don't have time to continue for 12 hours. It is the CV. How can I cancel until I have more time?
Hello nancy milano,.
Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:
See you soon!

How can I determine if I have firefox 64?
How can I determine if I have firefox 64-bit?
Hello
I had a look on the details of the user agent for your version of Firefox, and it indicates that you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, but Firefox makes use of a subsystem called WoW64, which allows him to run a 32-bit version of the software as Firefox.
There are currently no 64 bit version of Firefox, but there is a version that is in beta version (you can download it here) and the developer edition of Firefox (which you can download here). Please note that these are not fully completed versions of Firefox you may encounter a couple of issues that would be otherwise corrected before the code skips to the release.
I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

Pop-up window automatically downloaded a file to my laptop. I deleted the file in my downloads, but how can I be sure I have removed completely?
If you know what has been downloaded, I would use EasyFind:
https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/easyfind/id411673888?MT=12
In addition, I would like to launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac:
https://www.Malwarebytes.org/Mac-download/
These steps will not guarantee that all items have been reomoved. This is possible only by backing up your data, erase the HARD drive and then reinstalling the OSX and your data.
Ciao.

How can you check if you have a problem with the ghost attack
How can you check if you have a problem with the ghost attack.
My ISP (Virgin) sent me a letter saying I could have an attack on my apps by the phantom virus.
How is this true and what can do
The XcodeGhost malware affects the apps, mainly Chinese, created using a red version of Xcode. It is not a 'virus '. (Look at the difference between computer viruses and malware). Remove the Apple listed here and get updated with the latest versions of the App Store.

pop up kept appearing on the lower right of the computer saying I had infections more 5 000. He showed my company logo protection antivirus (AVG) and because the computer was slow and freezing I connected. He registered a phone number to call for help. I called, explained my problem and the man said: I'll connect you with a technician. I specifically asked if he was in this country, and he said he was in Connecticut. The reason I asked was because I am deaf it made it difficult to understand people with accents. I really thought that I was speaking with moy. After many hours remotely connected to my computer, my computer was worse than before that I called him shaped and $ 120.00. I called AVG to complain and told me that I was probably being scammed and to check with my Bank and credit company to have all changed. Of course, I took care of him. The Bank assured me they would check on "GuruAid" and yesterday I received an email from them (GuruAid), say that there is no charge.
I am never in a situation like this, once again. My question is: How can I make sure I have need of aid is a legitimate technician. Seems many companies can fool you into believing that you talk with a legitimate business.

operating system 64-bit to 32-bit operating system, it's because the processor went from 32 bit to 64 bit?
I know that 64-bit is faster and more efficient than the 32-bit processor, but why os 32/64 bit too? OS working elbow-to-elbow with processors?
Could someone explain a little bit. I so want to know. Thank you

(1) If you have an Intel processor, check here: http://ark.intel.com/ (all news are 64-bit, but many in the pentium and celeron series are not)
No matter what AMD processor once sempron will be 64-bit.(2) No. 32-bit operating systems were once popular is that 32-bit processors cannot run 64-bit operating systems (although the 64-bit processors can run 32-bit operating systems.
(3) see above. The only drawback to a 32 bit OS is that you can not use more than 3.3 GB of RAM, or to run 64-bit applications.
