• iMac, blocked by malware.  Help please!

  This morning I was using all my usual internet links (Facebook, hotmail and a hotel site), and suddenly a window popped up almost directly after my iMac froze & the window OS Support popped up immediately followed by another indefinable window saying my iMac was blocked and had been infected with malware and a virus.  I stop everything, including my internet connection.  I then rang the published phone number.

  Earlier, I restarted my Mac & internet - same thing happens again so I rang the number again and it turns out not to be Apple, quite probably the company that owns the malware trying to get US $150 to remove malicious software and viruses.  They said they were resting in the States.

  I'm not very good with the workings of the Apple - I actually have no idea what to do.  My AppleCare had expired and he is demanding $ 39 just to talk with the Apple Support!  I paid $99 for this AppleCare & have never used once before.

  Help, please!

  Hello CK64,

  It is probably just adware. It is becoming quite common.

  I wrote a small diagnostic program to help show what adware is installed. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.

  If adware is installed, EtreCheck will help remove you, although you may need to provide a password. If you are not comfortable with that, just after the report of EtreCheck here and other AIDS can tell you exactly which files should be deleted and the way to do it.

  WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

• 2006 iMac does not start. Help restore

  I have an Intel iMac core duo with iSight and built in disk drive around 2006. It does not start.

  When I turn on, it sounds and passes to the gray screen with the apple logo and a progress bar or a spinning wheel. Then he stops down. I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing works. In addition, I don't have the disks that originally from cane with the computer. So I can't make a diagnosis of the hardware. (Unless someone is willing to sell me their album hehe).

  This problem happened to me in 2012. I had a friend restore the computer to empty the hard disk, then boot from the snow leopard disc and reinstall everything. It worked like a charm.

  In 2013, a disc is stuck in the drive. I have troubleshooted only and nothing has worked. I assumed that the drive is dead and has continued to use the computer without worrying about that. Then, in 2014 someday when I restarted, the disk jumped! I never tested the drive then because I was afraid of another stuck disc. Then, the computer is dead again as he did in 2012.

  SO I know what to do. I need to wipe the hard drive and start over. However, I didn't have a drive. So, I bought one on eBay. When I insert it, the computer enters the disc. I can hear the mechanics works. It ejects even properly. However, I can't boot from the drive. When I start the iMac by pressing option, I don't see the Macintosh, no disk drive.

  My hard drive died? If so, a USB dvd drive would work? If USB does not work, how can I replace the drive?

  Is it possible that I bought a drive bad or fake software and that's why I can't boot from the dad?

  Please help in some way!

• MacBook Pro glued on the gray screen and does not start. Help, please!

  Hello

  My 13 "MacBook Pro (mid-2009), running Snow leopard (10.6.8), has finally given up and won't start.

  I tried to boot into SafeMode several times, but the loading bar does not move and the laptop just completely stops.

  I also tried to boot in single user mode with the command fsck - fy, but this results in the following:

  disk 0 s 2: I / 0 error

  Invalid node structure

  (4,35296)

  * The Macintosh HD volume could not be completely checked.

  / dev/rdiskOs2 (hfs)

  You leave with signal 8

  I guess that means that there is something wrong with the hard disk and some corrupt files?

  My problem is that I have no time machine backups, so I would like to know if it is possible to do something to get to the top and running.

  That, I do not have an external drive with my main important files and photos on a failure, so is it possible to completely erase the computer so I can sell it at least?

  I really need help on what I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out!

  I'm not all techniques with regard to the material. I tried doing research and have seen things, which suggests that I should reinstall the OS X, this would imply in the disks provided with the laptop when the power?

  Any advice greatly appreciated!

  Boot from the DVD and run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

  When you restart, use Setup Wizard to restore your data.

• Z500 Lenovo does not start. Help, please!

  Hi guys! First time on the forum. I recently got my lenovo Z500 a few months ago and it's a great laptop. However at night last he simply stopped working. While I was just surfing the Internet Windows started does not. It got to the point where I had no choice but to turn it off. When I turned it back on it rest on the start screen, and nothing happens. When it starts the fan is silent and then in a bit of overdrive. My friend is of the opinion that it is a problem with windows 8, but unfortunately it won't even let me do a safe mode boot. F8 does not work and my only chance was to F12, but unfortunately, even if it brings the option of boot and I can select the screen goes black and stay like that. Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can provide any help!

  My apologies if I'm a little in every sense. Unfortunately I am very amateur when comes to computers. How can I go about starting the recovery media in the USB port? Once again sorry if I melt your brain. I don't have a clue haha.

  In fact, you have several options:

  1. you can call Lenovo and request to do the repair if your camera is still under warranty.

  2. If you don't mind losing any of your data and custom programs, you can try to restore your system back to factory default by pressing the NOVO button (located next to the plug) while the unit is turned off. Select a recovery key and choose restore. You can read the details by downloading the user guide and go to page 23. Links: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=UM016744.

  3. USB recovery media initialize.

• My Sansa e260 seems to freeze when I start. Help, please?

  Hello

  For the last two days, my Sansa e260 refused to start completely. It starts, goes to the black screen that sansa logo and then freezes. I took out the battery and turned it works a couple of times. I even let the batteries run out and reload it later to see if that would help. (he didn't)

  You may have a bad file that confuses the firmware as it tries to start.

  Can connect you to your computer? (Preferably in MSC mode.)

  Try to run the error as explained in this FAQ checking.

  http://forums.SanDisk.com/Sansa/board/message?board.ID=announcements&message.ID=147&jump=true#M147

  If this does not work, you will have to Format and delete all of your files. (If you can connect, make copies first - but when you reload, reload only a little at a time if you don't put a bad once again.)

  If you can establish a connection to MSC, right click on the drive of the unit (X (any letter): Sansa E200) and choose the Format to FAT32.

  Or use the sansa.fmt here:

• Start basic help, please.

  What I have to do is to create a document of 36 "x 72", paste a chart of 100 DPI at the same size of gimp and save in format PDF. Looks like it would be a simple task, but here I am, come to beg for help.

  I was able to:

  InDesignCS4 open

  Start a new document

  When I went to change the size of the document in document format... What is this? P0? where is inches?

  Since it is a 8.5 "x 11" sheet of paper I did some calculations and put in a number that would correspond with 36 "x 72" "

  When I pasted the chart which was 100 dpi and 36 x 72 "it was too big.

  I can record on the PDF, I tested for this.

  When I went to find answers in the index of the 'help' I found that is sorely lacking.
  My guess is that my brain is wired differently so the creators of this program.

  Somehow Adobe Indesign guru could give me instructions to do the most basic tasks?

  Thank you very much for your advice!

  Use file > Place, don't paste graphics. Collage will get a low resolution preview.

  Default measures are picas, but you can use whatever measures you like.

  I'm guessing that your graphic is too large because you stuck on a page that was too small. There are 6 picas to every inch, so a page 36 x 72 "would be 216 x 432 p p. If your chart is still too large, you can resize it right down. You can even set the frame 36 x 72 (or what you want it to be) then object > adjustment > fit content proportionally.

  Hello

  After reading the error Fault Module name: eso.exe from your previous post, I decided to redirect you to Elder Scrolls

  The error indicates that you have an incompatible driver for your game.

  However if you want you can try to disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for eso.exe.
