Re: How to block ads in Safari 3.2.1 in Leopard?

[Tom]

Thanks George. I do have that checked. It blocks pop-ups, but it
doesn't stop all the ads that flash, flutter, flicker, and float.
Fooey.

I need something like AdBlock for FireFox. But Safari AdBlock doesn't
work. After I download and install it, it vanishes, just like
SafariBlock.

How to block ads in Safari 3.2.1 in Leopard?

[Tom]

I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 with Safari 3.2.1

On all the webpages I visit, there are ads flashing and twinkling and
jiggling all over the place, and I can't stop them anymore.
SafariBlock worked in Tiger, but it doesn't work in Leopard, at least
it never shows up in Safari's Prefs after download and install.

Likewise Safari AdBlock 1.4 doesn't install in this version of Safari
after being downloaded. It just vanishes somewhere and can't be found,
and there is no sign of it doing anything.

I don't want to go back to FireFox. It has some kind of problem that
causes it to become progressively slower as the hours pass, until
finally it locks up and has to be force- quit. And some webpages are
garbled. After a couple of years of using and being unhappy with
FireFox, except for AdBlock which worked well, I want to go back to
Safari, but I want to be able to block ads.

Can it be done?

Tom

This is where you use static sparks for an IP.

Remove your shoes, vigorously rub your socks on the carpet (or if you  
don't have carpet, you can vigorously rub a pet cat's fur, or perhaps  
faux fur?), and then cautiously reach toward the antennae of your  
wireless router with a single finger. IP every time! (and sometimes I  
scream too). ;-)

No apologies needed, the amount of info you provided was very good.

As Dan stated, the 169.x IP range is bad.  From your description, this 
sounds a lot like an encryption key problem.  In my experience, even if 
the wifi client has associated with the access point, it doesn't mean 
that the two are talking to each other.

Easiest thing to try first is to statically assign an IP to the DA. 
This should help rule out a DHCP issue (which I have run into with OS 9).

If the static IP assignment doesn't help, next thing I would try is to 
disable the encryption on the Actiontec and see if the DA and the 
Actiontec can talk to each other.  Or check any logs that may be 
viewable in the Actiontec itself, there might be some clues in there as 
well.

Is the "Public Folder"  the Shared folder in my User account?

It only contains a folder named "Adobe PDF 6.0". Kind of old, relative  
to 10.5.6.

Is this pause related to the folder "Adobe PDF 6.0" being in there?  
Maybe outdated for OS X 10.5.6?

Did it get there because I'm running Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro on my Mac?

Solutions? Anyone familiar with problems caused by Adobe PDF products?

Re: Installing 3rd Party Drivers under OS X 10.5.6

[Bill Connelly]

I've isolated an issue in this on-going Installation problem, and  
although have it posted on Apple Support and CCC 3.2 Forums, would  
like to see if someone here might shed some light on the current  
problem.

I feel like I'm almost there ... having rid my system of the Spotlight  
difficulties (known to Sibelius md importer problem, old Photoscore  
Fonts, old JavaScript 1.5 sitx decompressions).

Now ... I've consistently started getting a long pause on startup /  
restarts and am wondering if CCC 3.2 or something else might have  
something to do with it. I posted this on Apple Support, but repeat it  
hear for feedback:

I've started getting (also was getting it before at times IIRC):

Mar 27 15:29:18 Moonstone-Art-Studio /System/Library/CoreServices/ 
coreservicesd[43]: SFLSharePointsEntry::CreateDSRecord:  
dsCreateRecordAndOpen(Moonstone Art Studio's Public Folder) returned  
-14135
Mar 27 15:34:04 Moonstone-Art-Studio SystemStarter[16]:  
IOKitWaitQuiet: -536870186
Mar 27 15:34:04 Moonstone-Art-Studio DeltaHelper[142]: Delta Helper is  
starting up

What's going on? I'm up to date on the Software Updates (Apple's and  
CCC's) ... could that be it?

I've tried disconnecting 3rd party USB and FW devices, run AppleJack  
in auto pilot mode after correcting Spotlight issues, re-Indexed all  
partitions ... nothing seems to be helping this particular part of the  
puzzle.

Is something wrong with my "public folder" that's causing the Cold  
Boots or Restarts to pause for 5 minutes there, then a few minutes  
later, my Startup Items begin and install its driver. I can hear the  
pop when the audio card becomes enabled ... and a Refresh within  
System Profiler, shows the driver wasn't there ... now it is ...

I'm also using CCC 3.2 (just upgraded from 3.1.3) to backup from  
another computer, to this one's connected FW drive. I had to run an  
Authentication Credentials package, to allow the other computer to  
connect directly using ssh technology. Could that upgrade be  
interfering in some way at this point of the Startup process?

What's up?

Hi DC,
I tried this, making sure TCP/IP was in basic mode, then copied/
emulated the same settings from a hard-wired networked tower that was
online successfully. TCP/IP kept saying the settings were wrong (it
did not like the router address starting with 192, insisting its
address was 169, which, according to Dan, is by default wrong
itself!).

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. "PM" means...? Any suggestions on how one checks
("where one checks" would probably be more accurate) these router
settings? I did a manual setting input, emulating a successful hard-
wired IP setting copied from a G5 tower; its IP settings started with
192.xxx.x.x with a (I presume stock) subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and
a router address of 192.xxx.x.1 -
I was unsuccessful, and even TCP/IP balked at it.
No clue why it is giving me such trouble.

Just get an old Airport base station, their modems actually work  
pretty well I used one for years for internet connectivity at home  
until I finally broke down and got higher speed internet.

Bad.  The 169 address is self-assigned to indicate that the DHCP 
negotiation *failed*.

Check the settings and logs in your router - make sure it's trying to

Apple Mac malware: caught on camera

Pob in our analysis labs blogged earlier this week about a new variant of the RSPlug Trojan horse for Mac OS X that he had written protection against.
One of the ways in which the OSX/RSPlug-F Mac Trojan horse is being distributed by hackers is in the form of a poisoned HDTV/DTV program called MacCinema.
As you'll see in this video, visiting a website that gives many of the signs of legitimacy, can lead to you downloading a Trojan horse. Even for the Apple Mac.
Apple Mac malware: Caught on camera from Sophos Labs on Vimeo.
The video is also available on YouTube.
And don't try and tell me that this couldn't affect Mac OS X users because they would have to enter their administrator username and password to install the package. If they were prepared to download this program from this website, I feel pretty confident that they would enter their administrator details to allow installation too! 
Mac users are no different to Windows users in this regard - this is social engineering, plain and simple.
Oh, and Windows users shouldn't feel too smug about this either. If you visit the site on a Windows computer, it will serve up a malicious Windows executable from the Zlob family of malware rather than a Mac OS X Trojan horse.
By the way, we tried this on both Firefox and Safari on the Apple Mac. It makes no difference. The attack does not depend on a browser vulnerability - it works by the user being convinced that this is a program that they would like to run on their computer.

G4 DA wireless woes

[Dana Collins]

Greetings all,
This issue involves OS 9, so please chime in if you still have a
penchant for the "good ol' days".
I have a Dig. Audio G4/733MHz w/ 1 Gig of RAM, deliberately back-
pedaled  to OS 9.2.2 for legacy app reasons (the only OS on the unit,
no OS X at all).
Its intended network interface is via wireless using Verizon's
provided wireless router (Actiontec MI424 Rev C, if that needs be
known) for our home network; the DA is attempting to connect using a
known-to-work original Airport card.
Wireless connectivity via this Airport card has been negotiated
successfully with my G3 iBook running OS 10.4.11, so, all things being
equal, this should be a "go".
On first boot of the DA's newly installed OS, Airport immediately
recognized the ESSID of the router, and let me easily plug in the WEP
password, set up a keychain, and launched connection with no problem -
signal is clear as a bell. The Airport app shows that the unit is
online for the network, and TCP/IP (set to Airport connection)
generates an apparently good IP address (using DHCP-its a 169. series
if that helps). Again, all appears well.
Moment of truth, launching a browser (IE, Opera, Netscape, iCab),
always results in a failure to communicate with the "remote server" -
this is where I am at, despite trashing old preferences, zapping PRAM,
et. al.

Any thoughts? Should I do a manual IP configuration?
Thanks for any input, sorry for the long-ish read.
Best regards,
Dana

The best suggestion so far.  Freezing will kill them, then you can

Be careful using MAMP rather than XAMPP or building the various bits  
by hand. MAMP is designed for developers to have a server system on  
their Mac for development purposes, and is missing some security stuff  
that you really want in place for running a live server.

 From the MAMP website:

"MAMP was created primarily as a PHP development environment for  
Macintosh computer and should therefore not be used as Live Webserver  
for the Internet. In this case, we recommend that you use Mac OS X  
server with the provided Apache or a Linux server."

XAMPP is as easy a plug-n-play solution, and is set up to serve as a  
live internet server. Just make sure you go through and do the  
security steps during the installation. We had some folks here leave  
that step out and their server got hacked.

Don't waste your money on any version of OS X server. Instead use a
client version that you already have (or even better, something like
Debian for your server--OS X is much more suited for general desktop
use then server use). Using a repository like macports you can install
nongimped versions of Samba, Apache, Postfix, etc. Then you can use
the following instructions (ignore the comment about it being for OS X
server, it works fine on OS X client) to install Webmin which'll give
you a web based administration interface for all the services you want
to run on your server for free: http://www.webmin.com/osx.html. IMO
the only benefit of OS X server is the ability to define security
policies for macs in one central location as well as have a central
source for login authentication, everything else it provides can be
done for free without the purchase of a OS X server license. Since you
don't seem to want to do either of those things OS X server really
won't provide you any benefit.

My sons have put PC keyboards in the dishwasher.  Of course, give it
days to dry just to make sure.  That won't remove the worms but it
will clean it when they are gone.~ Claire

MacPorts works well for me.  There are some 5000+ programs 
(admittedly, many are those wierd little dependency programs that you 
have to install before you can add the program you want).

One nice thing is that MacPorts knows the dependencies and installs 
them first, unlike installing from source code.  It's really 
frustrating to run a long compile only to find that there's some cpan 
module you don't have in place yet.

And in the most recent MAMP server I built, i discovered that you can 
go into the instruction file and change the ./configure directives. 
This is important if, for instance, the apache server you're 
installing doesn't normally come with PEAR or MySQL support, and you 
know you will likely need support for those.   Look in the HowTo 
section for how to upgrade - that shows you where the instruction 
files are and how to open them for editing.  (I changed mine to 
-with-pear and -with-mysql and re-installed apache with no problem)

Also, be sure to read their section on how to build a MAMP server, if 
that's your goal.

Or bag it well and throw it in the freezer.  At least they'll be dead 
when you go to open and clean it.
