• Mackeeper IS safe to download?

  I have a problem on my new MacBook than Mackeeper pop up and asks me to download to my Mac clean.  Is it safe to download?

• After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

  Hi if anyone can help.

  A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

  Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

  So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

  I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

  I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

  I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

  If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

  All suggestions welcome.

  Thanks, Ciaran

  

  How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

  I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

• Something is wrong! Start in safe mode, but it turns out that for Normal mode.

  Mac Mini (late 2014)

  Processor 3 GHz Intel Core i7

  16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory

  Start drive Macintosh HD

  Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card

  Monitor: DELL U2713HM, use the Apple adapter to connect to the Mac Mini

  I upgraded from Capitan in Sierra and got the problem that after I pressed the power button, the screen is full white. This problem has occurred on the Sierra, never happened in Capitan.

  I went to the Apple store today, they made a few diagnostic and found no problem. Everything is good. System is fine too. In the Apple store, they showed me to press SHIFT after I press the power button and it will start up the Mac in safe mode. They told me this can sometimes help fixing the boot issue. My Mac actually works very well in the Apple store. I tried the power and turned off twice in the store, and there is no problem. I am happy and come home.

  After I go home, I turn on my Mac, it always has the same problem before you go to the Apple store, after I pressed the power button, the screen is completely blank. So I tried to boot mode safe by pressing Shift and taking until I saw the Apple logo on the screen.

  After I log in, I checked my Mac mode, this is actually Normal mode!

  If I intended to power to the top of my Mac in safe mode but it turns out to be normal.

  If I do not press SHIFT and hold it pressed down after I turn on the power, I'll have just a white screen!

  It works very well in Apple store, but not in my own House.

  Anyone know what is happening?

  What is different between your system and the store? Have you taken your own keyboard & they were they that? If you use a bluetooth keyboard try using a wired USB one instead. Is this an original Apple keyboard?

  Do you have other devices connected? If you delete them.

  Please see the article below from Apple, it has information about starting in safe mode without keyboard (by setting a NVRAM variable). If you enter a work boot, you can put the mini in safe mode from there, via the command appears on this page...

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  I would like to start trying to make another bootable OS disc - either an installation disc or a complete operating system to see if the Mac can be started OK to a different installation of OS - which indicates if the operating system or disk are part of your question, or if the material is simply unable to work correctly at all.

• How is it safe to type the password for the Mac in while net surfing?

  Greetings!

  This question, I hope a little more am react.

  Mac (not the apple account password) password is required to type to make big system changes. I started thinking, how easy is to villains to steal? I was surfing net to find answers to a problem and then typed in command in Terminal.app. And then started worrying - could he was reading / stolen by some site that I had to open this time?

  Noticed that terminal needed no password minute later when I added the new command. I hope he didn't mean that his record here and outside the source able to read?

  Sorry I don't know much about tech. I hear passwords remain safe and it worried me. Ease is even steal password of Mac by external sources (hoping that I am not infected with what either).

  If your Mac is protected by a password for admin (connection) anything can happen, so I hope you can be one, one good and that use you it.

• Is it safe to turn on Adobe Flash Player 10 Safari?

  Since my upgrade to Safari 10, Adobe Flash Player is disabled by default. Is it safe to reactivate or is it considered dangerous now?

  It has always been a bit of a risk. You can activate it if necessary, but if you don't need, I would leave it turned off.

• Unable to start safe on iMac16, 2

  I am on Mac OS X 10.11.6 on my iMac16, 2 and was trying to startup and to experiment in this mode to determine why I can't see my external drive and why it won't backup using Time Machine.  After the reboot and try to start safe, I discovered that I was unable to get to the start.  I could not, therefore, to get the disk utility to try to use the first aid in its normal mode.  When I used the Warrior drive, everything seems OK, but to be sure, I rebuilt my hard drive also.   Which doesn't seem to change anything.  So I can't use a secure boot and can't see my external hard drive (LaCie d2 Quadro) and cannot perform a backup Time Machine accordingly.  Help.

• Is PwSafe safe?

  I just bought for my Mac pwSafe and pwSafe 2 for my iPhone. I know I put the cart before the horse, but now I need to ask if it's safe and well.

  You see, I'm not very good with computers and I had some trouble it get up and running and also trouble with it synchronization.

  So now I ave a bad taste in my mouth and I am nervous to use it! However, these fears would be unfounded and more to do with my missing capacities.

  Could someone give me please a few comments regarding that? I want to know if their 'cloud' for the synchronization method is safe or not and if I have to synchronize their "drop-down list" re instead or as well as (their 'cloud.') By the way, it seems that even if I bought the version for my Macbook AND their version for my iPhone, I ALWAYS need something more on the synchronization using the method 'drop zone '! -This seems unfair to me. (and wasn't clear when I signed up (for me anyway)).

  Kind regards

  Richard.

  I'm not familiar with pwSafe, but if you need only to use on Apple devices (for example, your Mac and iPhone), you can examine and explore iCloud Keychain instead. I use Dashlane (a 3rd party application) because I also need access via a Windows computer but iCloud Keychain has a very good reputation. It of free, Apple and syncs via iCloud.

• Can not start safe mode

  I know how to do this. Whenever I try, I go about this Mac, and then the reporting system and double click on the software.

  Then he said: I'm in normal mode. I tried with two keyboards, to check if the shift key works.

  Restart the computer. At the chime, press on and hold down the SHIFT key until the Apple logo appears, and you see the progress indicator. If you are in Safe Mode , then you will get a login screen that says Safe Mode. Make sure that you are using an Apple keyboard and mouse. Disconnect all other devices, as appropriate.

• This is the app, "Permanent Eraser" safe to use on OSX?

  OSX 10.11.6 not having Secure Empty Trash option, is safe to use the App: Permanent Eraser to delete files? I'm afraid that this may damage other files on my MBP.

  Thank you

  Joe

  Secure erase is not necessary if you use FileVault to encrypt the drive. In addition, do not use any fix erase secure on an SSD.

• Is 3 CleanMyMac safe?

• Is it safe to download iOS 10 now

  Is this safe download iOS 10 now. I had a problem this morning and restored from a backup. don't want back the change...

  To be honest, it is better to wait a day or two and then update your devices. There is never an emergency update software iOS.

  Make sure to save before the update > update the iOS on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support software

• El capitan 10.11.6 freezes randomly without safe mode

  So, after the upgrade to El Capitan on my iMac, retina pro, I started to have problems with the mac that freezes all the time (yesterday, couldn't work because it freezes a few minutes after opening--more than 10 times).

  Tried all that I found in the forums, and not not not using SAFARI, unplug the video plugins, diagnostic app, etc. Nothing works

  It only works on safe mode, but does not have the extension to see videos for example (which I need to work).

  Today, it happens the same thing - I'm in safe mode to write the email now, or would freeze already.

  What is happening is that by using the mac without safe mode, the mouse + keyboard freezes and nothing else happens.

  It's really annoying - I just changed from windows to have a reliable system that is certainly not the case.  Has anyone observed this behavior and is there a solution?

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem / test? Really panic - computer is less then 1 year.

  See you soon,.

  M.

  PS: I do not know how to make the backup of the system so can not go back to the last installation (as indicated in some forum).

  Usually problems are caused by old or incompatible software or other software that you can have as "cleaners" or antivirus.

  Launch Etrecheck (a utility by a respected member of the community) and post the report here.

• Time of safe operation for 8 hours a day

  Hello:

  I searched the forums for more information about the safe temperature for my Macbook Pro, however, many of them are either dated or not my model. I may have missed something mine so I apologize if this has already been answered.

  I have an early 2011 15 "Macbook Pro with the following specifications:

  • Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz
  • 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (after market - critical)
  • AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 1024 MB

  My CPU is still running between 65 c ~ 90 c and I fear that using my personal computer at work for 8 hours a day I'm going to be overloading it and I have to get a new.

  Someone at - it present data on these older laptops? Everything I find is 2011/2012, so I don't know if it is current.

  Thank you

  Justin

  These temperatures are absolutely perfect.
