OT? Cosmopod
Hi all. This question may be OT... forgive me if it is, but I know I get an answer here... During the last few hours, whenever I open Safari, I get a dialog box asking if I want to download Cosmopod. The box has the Safari logo but I'm doubting that it's an Apple item. I looked it up and it's a remote desktop app. I'm wondering if this is legit in how it was enabled as a popup box. When I open Safari, my default page is a custom webmail page I created with out any advertising or outside feeds except certain email. Anyone know about this app? dan_A = http://web.mac.com/danauerbach = --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Cosmopod is a Safari plug-in that downloads flash and other media files from web pages and converts them to iPod-compatible .m4p files...it's a VERY useful plug-in. http://www.cocoamug.com If you're getting that pop-up you must have, at some time, installed it; it displays a dialog asking if you want to update it when it's updated, and 'check for updates' is checked in the Cosmopod prefs. Find the installer (or download it again) and click on the Uninstall button. As I said, it's an excellent plug-in; it was a key bit letting me move to Safari entirely from Firefox. well worht the 17 or so it cost me at the time (It's priced in euros, I don't remember what the exchange rate was at the time) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I guess I'm just old. I did buy and use this not too long ago and it is great. I just used it without paying attention to its name and ... dan_A = http://web.mac.com/danauerbach = --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
