It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and the distractions are gone.

I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple. -
Error message appears only for a short time
An error message appears only for a very very short time so i can't read it. Sometimes the message appers directly after log in, and sometimes after using the mac for a longer time. So What should i do?
Thank you for the fast reply.
This is the log of the last start. The message appeared directly after login.

Icons keep moving to the upper right corner - a Finder relaunch fixes it but only for a short while
I'm having an issue that really irks me and it's very frustrating. Whenever I open certain programs (ie. iPhoto, Pixelmator, Safari (sometimes)) and I click to the desktop to either drag a file in or drag one out to the desktop, all the icons start gathering in the upper right hand corner on top of the Hard Drive icon. No matter where I try to drag them, they all snap right back on top of the Hard Drive. Now, I can stop this by option clicking and holding on the Finder dock icon and selecting Relaunch. I can also turn "sort by" to none, but I am a little OCD and I like to have my icons snap to a grid. Here's another vital piece of information. I use my computer at work on an external monitor connected by the Thunderbolt port (an HP monitor) using a DVI adapter. However, this occurs with or without using the external monitor. I noticed this program started happening about 2 months ago after I swapped out hard drives (upgraded size) going from 500GB to 750GB. I used carbon copy cloner to clone my hard drive as opposed to going with a fresh install. I'm beginning to think this may have been a bad idea. I have trashed all the Finder preferences, used Onyx to clear the .DS_stores and other tricks found on the internet. Does anyone have a concrete way to fix this? I am baffled with this one. I've never seen this problem until recently. Any ideas?

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a 10.2.8 os on a G4 desktop. A week ago I clicked on the AOL icon in the bottom bar. I have not used AOL for six years. Two aol boxes came up. I can not get the boxes to go away for long. They may go away for 15 minutes and they come back while I am working. How can I get these aol boxes to go away?

I fixed my phantom cursor for a short while by reseting my PRAM but now it's erratic again.
My cursor was erratic and I couldn't control it. I reseted the pram and it started to work but only for a short while. After an hour or so it started to act erratic again. What can I do?
Linc, a pretty credible user who helped me out before, posted this on another thread I having going about this same problem. None of these things worked for me, but they might work for some of you.
There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
5. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
6. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
7. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
8. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. -
Error in iTunes when I'm wanting to put a CD on my iPod to listen to for a short time
Hi,
My iTunes has been playing games with my mind. It makes me think that my iPod is full and it's not 'cause I have been taking off CDs and putting on just the CD that I want to listen to since my iPod can't handle much more since it's near full. Whenever I want to put a CD on my iPod that isn't on there yet I get this weird lookin' error in iTunes when I'm wanting to put a CD on my iPod to listen to for a short time. This is what it reads: "iTunes could not copy "song" to the iPod "Liz's iPod" because an unknown error has occurred (-50). See, my iPod can't hold too many more of my new CDs so what I'm having to do is when I want to listen to one of the new ones I can put it on, listen to it, take it off and put another new one on which I don't mind doing, but this error that I am receiving has been annoying me for a long time. I'm hoping somebody knows something about this 'cause my iPod is not full at all since I'm trying my best to keep it from getting there. One other thing, I rip my CDs in 192 and VBR. My iPod has AAC on there as well, but those are just my converted music downloads that I have downloaded over the years, but the AACs aren't the case. Just my ripped CDs. Does anybody know what this error is telling me?
Thanks,
LizNevermind, I figured it out this morning. The CDs that I have ripped in 192 all load up good without errors and I just have to drag CDs that are ripped in VBR by transferring 2 songs at a time to get it all loaded up. That is weird, but thank goodness it had nothing to do with iTunes. I was just confused... that's all.

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

Media is only where the user puts it.

My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software. I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while. Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again. I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month. I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.
After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software. However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007. I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose. AA8 has stopped printing to fax. It faxes a blank page. The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”. My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago. My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
“No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
or
“The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.” -
i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or soDid not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

My new Ipad 3 connects to the internet but only for a brief period of time. I then have to reboot only to get hte same results. Any suggestions?
You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 app
How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 Creative Suite Cloud App. Many attempts were made to install Photoshop CS6 with Adobe Application Manager without success. Every other Creative Suite Application was successfully downloaded. I keep getting Installation Failed when attempting the Photoshop install. How does one correct this?
Thanks Jeff! So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network.
