The 3 threats found after my first full scan on my Macbook were
Users/myname/library/cache/java……
which needed to be cleaned up manually.

1. In the Quarantine Manager, click on the blue link file name of the threat to get it’s details.
2. You need to note the path & file name.
3. In my example I will use users/myname/library/cache/java……
4. You will need to make a custom scan.
5. In the window that’s titled Scan Local Drives, click on the arrow next to Custom Scans
6. Click on the + sign.  You will see a message untitled – No items in scan, this scan has never been run.
7. Double click on it and another window will open asking for a Scan Name (can fill in later).  At the bottom of this window, click the + sign – this will open a finder window called Open.
8. Double click on the file called Users (another window opens)
9. Double click on the home file with your name on it (another window opens)
10. Double click on the Library folder (another window opens)
11. Single click on the Caches folder and then click on the Open button bottom right
12. You should now see the folder Caches with a tick next to it in the window described in step 3.
13. Type in whatever name you want to call the custom scan.  I called mine Caches.
14. Under the title you’ve just typed are 3 buttons. Click on the Options button.
15. Click on the drop down menu where it says log only and choose Delete threat.  So it now says When a threat is found: Delete threat.
16. Click on the Done button.
17. In the customs scan window from step 1. you should see a new custom scan called Caches (or whatever you named it).  Click on the Play button next to the pencil button.
18. A drop down dialogue box asks you to Scan with privileges, Cancel or Scan All.
19. Click on the Scan All button & type in your administrator password & click OK.
20. The scan is performed.  If you Open Quarantine Manager, the threats should be gone.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The following procedures are ONLY for people with RAID cards who have upsized their raid array. If you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro, this is not for you! If you want to move from a smaller single drive to a larger single drive, try CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper .Once my raid array had finished upsizing from 5.5GB to 9.1GB, I had to resize the partition in order to actually use the space. OS X’s Disk Utility gives the cryptic error

(Partition failed with the error: MediaKit reports partition (map) too small. )  Not particularly helpful, is it. All my googling has never found an answer, so I thought I’d post my solution here. Before you start, BACKUP YOUR DATA. While I have not lost data using this procedure, if you make a typo, the results could be catastrophic!

1. Open up a terminal
2. type df and press enter
3. Note the mount point for the drive you’re trying to expand. Mine was “/dev/disk4s1″. We’re only interested in the disk, not the slice, so I’m going to use “/dev/disk4″.
4. In Disk Utility, unmount the current partition on the disk.
5. run “sudo gpt show /dev/disk4″. If this fails, you probably didn’t unmount the partition first.
6. The line with the largest size is the partition we care about. Write down the start and size numbers. Check them again to be sure you wrote them down correctly!
7. In Disk Utility, unmount the partition again.
8. run “sudo gpt destroy /dev/disk4″
9. run “sudo gpt create -f /dev/disk4″
10. run “sudo gpt add -b 409640 -s 11719262168 /dev/disk4″. Notice those numbers came from the start and length of the partition we want to save.
11. Reboot. (On a Snow Leopard server I did not need to reboot!)
12. Now use Disk Utility to resize the partition. If you didn’t reboot, Disk Utility will probably give an error, but it might still work. Reboot now anyways.

Basically what’s going on here is that the GPT table is built only big enough for the drive it’s on. That’s a logical assumption – hard drives don’t magically get larger – unless they’re RAID arrays. We’re just removing the GPT partition information, and replacing it. Should things go crazy, as long as you’ve got the start and size information for the partition you care about, you should be good.  No guarantees obviously, but I’ve done this three times and no data loss yet.

1. press 1 for Quark’s fee-based support and be prepared for a $39 fee on your credit card
2. press 2 for Customer Service
3. press 3 for Sales

So I pressed 2 for Customer Service. I was greeted with, “Thank you for call Quark Customer Service. Please be prepared for a $39 fee to speak to customer service.”

What!!! So I have to pay to talk to customer service?? So I held on a got an obviously “not-American” customer service rep with a distinctive accent. I explained to her about not being to activate Quark and I needed an activation code. She replied with, “That will be $39.”

“WHAT!!! YOU WANT TO CHARGE ME $39 TO ACTIVATE SOFTWARE THAT I OWN???”

“Yes.”

So I asked to speak to her supervisor. I was given the same lame answer. So I asked to speak to her supervisor. She said she didn’t have one. “So you own Quark??” “No.” “Then let me talk to someone above you.” “There is no one else.”

This went on for several minutes until my blood pressure reached critical levels. She finally offered me email activation that would only take 15 minutes or so. So I tried it.

Well, three hours later, the activation came through. Three hours. That is three hours with a machine out of production because of Quark’s arrogance and lack of customer support.

So please Quark, do us all a favor, and close your doors.

• Press C during start-up: Start from a bootable CD/DVD, such as the Mac OS X Install disc.
• Press D during start-up: Start the Apple Hardware Test when the Install DVD 1 is inserted in your Mac’s drive.
• Press and hold (Command + Option + P + R) until you hear two beeps: Reset the NVRAM.
• Press Option during start-up: Loads Startup Manager, enabling users to select which volume they would like to boot from. Pressing N will show the first bootable Network volume as well.
• Press the Eject button, press F12, or click and hold the mouse or trackpad button: Ejects any removable media.

Apple recommends pressing the start-up key combinations immediately after hearing the start-up tone.

You may say, “So what?” Well, there are plenty of people still using Appletalk in production environments to access shared volumes or to print to Appletalk printers. For me, the printers are the bigger issue. I have many, many people still using Appletalk printers.  The beauty of Appletalk printers is that they are automatically discovered on the network, and, the big advantage, is they know what is installed and communicate that back to the Mac. Bonjour/Rendevouz printers don’t do that!

Apple’s solution is to print to these printers using IP Printing. What a joke! First of all, you must assign the printer a fixed IP address (how many non-techie users can do this?), then you must know all the options installed in the printer (RAM, extra trays, etc). You must then MANUALLY setup each printer on your network for IP printing. On some corporate networks, there may be hundreds of printers to setup.

Way to go Apple!

Here are a few workarounds to this problem.

1. If a font is copied from a Mac to a share via AFP, you can only read it using AFP. If you then mount the share as SMB, the font is corrupted.
2. If a font is copied from a Mac to a share via SMB, you CAN read it using SMB! It is not corrupted.
3. If a font is converted from T1 to OTF, it works either way since Open Type fonts don’t use a resource fork.
4. The problem occurs with existing files on Mac shares. If the Mac share is simply converted or mounted as SMB, the fonts get corrupted. However, it appears that if a Mac mounts the share as SMB and copies the files, they are not corrupted. What the Mac does is copy the data fork as a regular, visible file, and the resource fork as a hidden file. This maintains the integrity of the font. The danger is that Windows users with “Show All Files” turned on, can see the invisible resource forks. If they are deleted then the font is damaged.
5. If the fonts are converted to OTF, then this is a non-issue as OT fonts don’t have a separate data and resource fork. One easy way to convert all T1 fonts to OTF is to use a $99 program called FontXChange. It is fast and can convert and repair fonts.
