How do I uninstall 178,210 personas that my daughter installed, I have no idea how she did this or how to undo all this mess. One at a time may take me several years, have any suggestions for more than one. Thanks
My daughter has an addiction to computer and I thought she couldn't get thru my FoxFilter, never thought there was something she could mess up on Firefox itself. Every time I start my computer it runs and runs, and takes forever for anything to download. I understand why. I just don't know how to fix it. Since there are 178,210 of these personas been added to firefox. Thanks for your help.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Maybe alot was done on 7/30 or 7/31/10
Did she install the Personas Plus extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?
Firefox only keeps the last 8 installed personas by default.

I continue to receive message that "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Please try again later." This has been happening every time iTunes Match runs in background. Any suggestions for a cure?

Re: error 4002 in itunes match do you have a solution?
Sep 23, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to matracaelcan)
Hi All,
I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
I hope this helps -
something went wrong with my apple tv and now it says that it is in retail demo mode. How can i fix it? I have had it for more than one year without any problem
To turn on/off retail mode, go to settings, general, legal.
Do not open legal, just put the cursor there.
Then, on the remote, type this sequence : right - right - left - center.
The AppleTV should reboot. -
I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw
There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router. The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?
Hi RonWM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article lists the ports that are used by the Apple TV:

I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.
Thanks
RonYou may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. -

Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?
Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad? Other people sometimes want to use my i pad but I don't want them to have access to my e-mail (which is on AOL)
Presently you can password protect the whole i pad by having to put in a 4 digit code to open it, but once it's open whoever is using it has access to everything you have on it.Skydiver...that did it!! I shut the mail app from automatically opening and now I can sign onto my AOL acct. through Safari!! I had called Apple Care and had asked different peope in Apple stores about this and no one but you had any suggestions! YAY!! Thanks!!!

Since uploading to 7.0.2 cant play any game for more than 5 sec. without screen flipping to Apps. page. What to do??
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Hi there. I just bought a new iMac. Used to have a pc. Plugged my nano into iMac and it transferred my purchases fine. Bought a new album on i tunes and it will not download to my nano. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated. Thanks.
You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there.
To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab. For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod. That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod. On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity. -

If you have no electricity for more than 8 hrs you have no phone with Fios
No one told me that when I gave up my copper line for FIOs that when the electricity goes off for more than eight hours I would have no phone service. Usually, if the electricity went off I would just plug in one of the old phones with a cord and still have access to telephone service. Not so with FIOs. Cell phone service in this area isn't reliable either, especially if there are too many people trying to call out at the same time. It is not a good product for someone who may need EMS service in a secluded area. If I had known this, I would have kept my DSL, FIOs is not any faster when others are on line using it.
Maybe you were not around for the installation of your FIOS when the installer put the battery backup in your garage. Note there is an emergency button on the battery backup that you can push to get an additional 5 hours of phone calls. In my case the welcome kit that I was given also provided directions on how to enable the extra 5 hours of phone support.
Also I've DSL speeds are typically in the 1-7 Mbit speed while my with a 384/768 upload. My Fios gives me consistent 20 megs down and 5 up which is way faster then DSL.
Good luck! -
I have contacted apple for more than 5 times, but no reply
Hi , i have renewed my iphone developer program for 99$ , But i used to get the message that "my account is expired please renew it" , later now my apps too disappeared in appstore.I have contacted apple support for more than 5 times, but no reply.What is happening.Can some one please explain please.
"Apple will fix all these problems during a week."
Or not.
There are many devs who still have NO access to ANY part of the developer website.
Apple is aware of this (a dev support person telephoned me last week) but, so far, there is no fix or work-around.
It may be true that the developer site has access for SOME subscribers; it is NOT true that everyone is able to get resources shown as "online" on the status page -- many of us have ZERO access.
So, when Apple says 'this week' you have to balance that with the FACT that their assessment of the current status, ie. everyone has limited access now, is wrong/untruthful.
Anyone who doubts this should simply look at other posts in this forum -- lots of folks can't get into the site -- just an infinite loop from login to grey linen maintenance page and back.
