Mac leg?

Since the installation of the 2016-001 security update both my iMac (27 "and 21") became quite slow, and after entering a search term in Safari, nothing seems to happen. I also get Mac Paw ads claiming to fix a slow iMac. Is it true in this and is it safe to try? My hard drives are between half and three quarters full.

[OS X end 10.10.5, 2013]

You have probably installed adware with something else that you recently installed.

You can follow Apple instruction manual for the removal of adware, or use the free automatic tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.

It is noted that the instructions for manual removal of Apple are usually outdated. Sometimes much obsolete. It depends on when Apple finally does something with their instructions page. If you prefer to manually remove the adware on your system, you can find many more instructions security update Mac adware deletion page.

The adware (if it exists) is sometimes very easy to remove yourself. Open Safari Preferences and then click the Extensions tab disable anything, you don't recognize and remove it.

Don't submit any Mac software garbage CleanMyMac of leg of Mac, MacKeeper, MacCleanse or any other application that claims to clean or speed up your Mac. They are all the scamware.

  • There is no way to disable mac photos

    A complete cataloging of problems with Photos.app would Leo Tolstoy seems a man of few words. So rather than listing all of its flaws, I will summarize my goal is simply to disappear, or at least never darken the face of my monitor.  Unfortunately, the Photos is the friend of a friend who showed during your reception, remained long after everyone left him, and no matter how ostensibly you ask, not leave and let you go to the bed.

    For awhile, I thought I had managed to block, at least in the basement, where it doesn't bother me, offering him a cask of amontillado, the following incantation by typing at the bash prompt. An incantation, you mind which took a quest of epic proportions to discover because not wanting to deal with this turbulent offspring of a drunk COBOL programmer and a Labrador retriever humping your leg seems to be against religion Macintologist.

    defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture2 HotPlugActionPath ''

    For the most part, the above seemed to work fairly well. I could insert the SD card from my camera, fire up a program that ***** marginally less, and process my photos without Photos.app, jumping up, putting both paws on my chest, slobbering all over my face, then trying to hump my leg.

    Tonight, I tried to use tethering with my new camera. I fired up my image processing software, plugged in the cable, and managed to take a couple of  photos using the tethering plug in. But, as soon as I left the Space that had my image processing software, there was Photos.app, slobbering in my face and humping my leg again.

    Unfortunately, not even

    sudo rm -rf /Applications/Photos.app

    will put this unruly pile of software dogbreath out of our misery.  How do I make it go away, and never, ever come back and bother me again?

    Unfortunately, not even

    sudo rm -rf /Applications/Photos.app

    This is intentional and one of the new security features of Capitan E - the protection of the integrity of the system.  You may not modify the software system, even as an administrator.

    Photos is installed as an essential part of the system and not a separate application. To be able to uninstall it you have to disable the protection of the integrity of the system by booting into recovery. Not a good idea.

    Try to ignore the pictures. You don't have to respond to the surprise guests.

    You can assign Photos to a separate office you never look to make it out of the way.

    Are you sure, that you have entered «mistakes...» "command correctly?

    This Terminal command works for me:

    This Terminal command to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos. If Lightroom will not launch and you must manually launch the application of your choice.

    Version 5.0 on a MAC doesn't let me switch between tabs. Can I open a new tab, but when I try to go in a different tab, it shows me just the content of the tab opened most recently. Help!

    In addition, pop up blocker works for a while and then stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to make it work again. Help!

    I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was last updated to Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but it did not help and I had the same problem.

    Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called tile tabs 4.10 I thought could easily create this problem. I went in my Add-ons Manager and disabled, restarted Firefox and tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the extension of the tile tabs is my favorite Firefox Add-on and I use it almost every day to manage my web tasks. I went to the page Add on for tile tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 did not work properly on Mac OS and install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw that they had a new is not-yet-seen version 4.11 who has tackled the problem of Mac OS, installed, and everything seems to work properly.

    I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem as I don't had not updated Firefox or the extension of the tile tabs recently. Also, obviously this could not solve your problem, especially if you have the module installed and active. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it seems based on your post time, so its probably not a coincidence.

    But its worth a quick glance and you can check other extensions if you don't have the legs of tile that might be the cause of the problem.

  • Clean My Mac 3.0 photo question

    Recently, after running clean my Mac 3.0, many icons in the faces in the Photos feature disappeared - although some came back later.

  • Mac 0s 10.9.2

    After the update on the Mac os 10.9.2 side April - I open Pagemaker and my system crashed after talking with Apple, I had to erase everything on my hard drive.  I finally got it fixed and re-installed pagemaker cs5 and some other programs I HAD while I was on vacation.  When I got home, I tried to install CC as well as various programs (pagemaker, indesign, photoshop, etc.) Had to erase all the other adobe programs and start from scratch.  Whenever I open ANY adobe products all my "white space" is pink and striped of white vertical in EACH program. Apple mail, contacts, etc.  If I completely shut down the computer and restart everything goes well until I opened an adobe product again.  I can't get help from Adobe, does anyone have suggestions until I cancel my subscription entirely?

    Thank you in advance,

    Janie

    Thank you, I think you gave me the answer, and it's under warranty - Fortunately this time I bought the extension.

    And believe me, its worth every penny or you would have to find themselves giving away an arm and a leg.

    The Radeon 6770M - exactly what I have and who did it-without any doubt.

    I have attached a picture of what looked like on my screen when I had the question - tell me if that's what you see too:

    Another thing that you could probably who can reproduce these lines without an Adobe application is select a HD video file that you have on your system and hit QuickLook (overview of the space bar) so it loads up in the preview of the Quicktime player - which should cause your system to crash too.

    Have you tried the tool that I gave you in my previous post (gfx.io)?

    Avoid erase / format your entire drive often - it would cause your hard drive to become unstable over time.

  • [Power Mac G5] Type of liquid cooling system?

    Y at - it anyway how to determine type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    We have old school Power Mac G5 DP 2, 7GHz (early 2005) we use for editing (well, for the last two years, he's right there and no one wants to touch this old piece of...). They will throw him in the year, and since I was take care of him for a while, I thought I'd take home when they do and use it as a backup machine for the data of my and my wife. I would like the max memory, put a few large hard drives (and small SSD, but there seems to be a lot of problems with this) and run the Linux command (more problems).

    But first, I have to clean the machine and look at the State of it. What particularly concerns me is the LCS (DP 2, 7GHz I) - these things have been prone to leaks and what I found there are at least three revisions of the LCS - second of them made by Panasonic seems to be the most reliable. I can't look inside, deeply, because it must be ready to use at least for another 3-4 months, I can do is to open the case and remove the front fan and look outside the heater.

    So this brings me to my question: Y at - it anyway to determine the type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    Thank you...

    Apparently, there were two models more prone to leaks than others, although still very rare. See this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/faq/powermac-g5-liquid-cooling-infos-fuites-issues.html

    The damage inflicted by a system of flight are very serious, and it is almost impossible to hide or completely clean. As soon as you open the side panel on the Power Mac, you will easily be able to tell if this unit experianced a problem.
