My macbook pro has a virus/trojan that is resetting the EFI via apci and it is getting root access privileges. It seems to be creating multiple aliases that bundle with rogue apps and preferences so it is very difficult to control or fix. Please help..

Re: Why wont Safari 5.195 download on my MacBook Pro which I just updated with Snow Leopard?
Can you provide the specific symptom that makes you think Safari will not download? You need not use Safari... do you have another web browser? Like Firefox, Google Chrome, Sea Monkey, Camino?

Will AirDrop on iOS 7 communicate with MacBook Pro?
I was just curious if the AirDrop between my Iphone 5 running iOS 7 beta can file share with my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. Is this possibe, even though the cloud sync between the two works very well and there is little need? is this something that requires OS X Mavericks? Or is there a setting on either device that im missing and the reason they are not seeing each other?
Just getting familiar with the new iOS and wanting to check out the features.

Minimum Macbook Requirement to Develop iPhone 5/ipad 3 apps?
Hi, I'm completely new to Apple's laptops. Ths will be my first. I'm looking to buy a laptop for as low as possible just for developing my first iOS app for iphone 5 as well as ipad 3.
Could someone plz tell me if this is a sufficient machine to do the job? Between iphone 5 and ipad 3, I would rate iphone 5 to be my bigger priority and I do have an iphone 5.

Problems with new MacBook Pro
In my new MacBook Pro (delivered 7/10/12) I've had continual problems with an invasion of others that have turned my Apple world upside down.
My new 10.7.4 OS, I found out that I was under a 10.6 system.(impossible, I've never owned a Mac Computer before this one!!
Then my mail and apps had problems plus I've recieved constant phone calls at my home that affected my new system.."marketing" calls.
I've been working with my Florida WiFi provider for almost a year and I've only been able to afford a home phone, which they've taken over!
I have never given my phone number out to anyone but my family and don't belong or engage social networks, so these invasions have been alarming!
Then my iPad 2, after a restoration, displayed a problem on my new MacBook, an "iPhone error" oh, I have never owned an Apple iPhone either just to throw that possibility out....excuse me..another marketing call!!
Then last night on my Usage and Data logs in my iPad 2, I saw "purplebuddy" in my iAds (again!) my stats sent to Apple.
I saw in those logs that I was having my "voice recorded" with a download of time described..who did that?
Once again, I saw more "game kits" in my iPad 2..which can enable a "microphone set up" on it, then I saw a mobile phone listed, again... I don't have one.
It's shocking and devasating...like having peepers and it's been a year now of this constant battle
I've lost my trust..in my computer life and I'm continually looking under my apps and I'm careful about my choices..in EVERYTHING!
This has affected my personal life and health completely.
To make things worse, my new MacBook Pro just "crashed" and I'll be visiting my nearest Apple Store to fix it as well as my iP(again! done it constantly since my first one...September 26, 2011!!!)
This has been an incredible and computer "experience" that no one should go through and my new Apple base station has been affected by these Remote Invaders..AssistiveWare.
I called the police twice, have legal representation, endless calls to my Network here in Florida, tossed out the new computer I started out with in September 2011 and Apple helped by replacing my iPad 2's (I'm on my third since last year)
Even my 2nd generation iTouch was used with a "iphone-elite "google code" to a port on Wiki without my knowledge in order to to "sync" with my iPads so "other's" could see what I was developing on it, with "Accessibility" work, creative concepts (heard) as well as keeping up with my work I've continued to do in regards to bringing human voice to the forfront of our disabled.
Apple has been absolutely amazing during this time and has helped me through this alarming "remote" invasion by others who think "Tech" means "I Got You!"
This is a very brief overview of my nearly year long "surprises" no one wants to find...continually.
Since September 26, 2011..I have lived with this nightmare..even recieving 2 "tele-marketing" calls that my Wi Fi provider is now pursuing.
Has anyone else been through this?
Wifi Problems Macbook Air
****. I have a previous generation BAse station extreme.
We have iPad, iPhones (2), Macbook Pro Retina, and this summer my wife finally got a Macboor air 11 inch on my recommendation.
She encounters a recurring problem where the WiFi icon gets a exclamation point and she can,t connect to any wireless network. It'll take a few minutes, sometime sa restart, and it will come back. I had never encountered this problem with my Mac... until last week. At first I thought it was her MBA which had a hardware problem, but sicne mine has encountered it once... I figured maybe it's the Airport Base station? Should I buy a new router?
Just to give you as much detail as possible: I have ADSL Internet, and the base station is configured as bridge since the router handles the rest. The computers connect to the network broadcast from the base station, not the Bell Speedstream router.

Re: Wifi Problems Macbook Air
I dont know if you're still having problems, but wouldn't it make more sense for your DSL modem/router to be in bridge mode, and the AirPort using PPoE to authenticate with the ISP and do the routing?

Re: Wifi Problems Macbook Air
I have been suffering with this problem on my Retina Macbook Pro.
What seems to be the problem is DHCP allocation. My AirPort network is a little complicated, with lots of devices, and I think the AirPort Extreme was having problems allocating IP addresses.
I only did this this morning so I'm hoping it continues to work, but try manually allocating IP addresses for the machines you are having problems with to prevent DHCP messups.
Open AirPort Utility, select your base station and click Edit and go to Network.
Open System Preferences, go to Network and Wi-Fi in the side menu. Click Advanced, and go to TCP/IP
In AirPort Utility, create a DHCP reservation by pressing the +. Call the description the name of this computer, leave it on Reserve by MAC Address.
In System Preferences, select Configure IPv4: Using DHCP with manual address. Note your current IPv4 address and copy and paste it into AirPort Utility dialogue under IPv4 address. Get your MAC address by clicking the Wi-Fi tab in the System Preferences window, and copy and paste your "Wi-Fi Address".
Close, save, restart, etc.
In AirPort Utility you can add extras, so do it for all devices having problems.
