A pop-up window appears after log-in and disappears very fast

Hello,
There is an annoying pop-up window appearing in the center of my screen, after each log-in to my account.
It dissappears ultra-quickly after showing up and I'm not physically able to see what it's about. I can't even take a screenshot.
I wonder whether there is a respective .log file or an event viewer, in order to check what this might be and why it's appearing.
I opened up the Logs folder, but I didn't find something useful. Activity Monitor also didn't help.
In Login Iterms, there is only iTunesHelper app, and it has never caused any kind of problem before.
All of my settings haven't been changed since last three weeks, and this is happening for only three days now.
There is only one account on MBP (OS X 10.8.5). If further information is needed, I'll try to provide them.
Thanks in advance.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

I keep having a pop us window appear after opening firefox. Can you help?

a pop up window appears after I open firefox. It reads: (with yellow triangle and exclamation point)
YSLOW.firefox.observer.observe()[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsILoadGroup.groupObserver]" nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://yslow/content/yslow-firefox-net.js :: anonymous :: line 172" data: no]
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

A modal pop-up from a website code usually looks different from pop-ups from an extension that can have a real title bar.
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello! i downloaded OS X Mavericks on my mac .since then my computer didn't restart properly.My desktop image doesn't appear after logging in and i'm unable to shut it down.

Hello! I downloaded OS X Mavericks on my Mac and my pc didn't restart properly.my desktop image doesn't appear and i can't shut down my pc. what can i do ?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I can't download the new version of iTunes. Halfway through the installation a pop up window appears saying, "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as a part of a set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Got exact same problem, was told to delete all old apple, quick time and bonjoir from computer then it would work. I use a programme called malware bytes and this takes everthing out of your computer right down to the roots but unfortunately I still have same problem

I would like to create a pop-up window appear from Labview Interface. In this window, I will have a slide control and an image taken from a camera. The main VI have to run while pop-up window is open. How can I do ?

When I pushed a button, this pop-up window has to appear. There will be a slide control and a picture from a camera in this window. Is it possible to make appear this windows while main VI Interface continue to run ? How can I do this ? Thank you for your answers.
Cyril.

Here you go. This is simple example. Maybe not the best way, I am just
beginner in LV and still not comfortable with data flow that much. I prefer
events, so I would change this to use Event Structures.
When you click on OK button on SliderMain, it opens Slider.vi. Now both
windows are open and you can interact with both. Now if you click on OK
again with Slider.vi open, you run into problems. Only thing I did was
change VI properties of slider.vi, mainly window appearance.

My Imac says "you need to restart your computer" after logging out and click on sleep. 10.6.8?

My Imac recently gives a message "you need to restart your computer" after logging out and clicking "sleep". After a few seconds, gray screeen will roll down and give that messasge. I disconnected USB cable from my printer. Today, after turning it on, the log in screen showed then after 2 seconds the gray screen rolled down again and prompted "you need to restart the computer". I've read the apple communities about kernel panics but to no success. I have a 10.6.8, 2.7 ghz, 4GB. This is the error that showed which I reported to apple mutiple times already.

What is going on with this error?

It hasn't been acting up since I:
1) Since I unplug my all in one printer with wifi (Hewlett Packard). I barely use the printer and it keeps cleaning out the jets and wasting my **** ink. Plus it'll do a loud self test @ 3:00 in the morning & by this time, I pulled my baseball bat from under the bed and ready to smash some skulls in the office room thinking its a burglar.
But seriously it stop doing it.
This is a late reply but confirmed after 7 months.
Note: I shut down instead of sleep my Imac now because I hardly use it.

Pop up window for a log-on no longer shows up with newest version. Please help

I have a singlesignon to a work site. A small pop-up window opens when I go to the site so I can log in. Worked great until I installed the latest version of Firefox. This particular site only works with Firefox as well. I contacted IT for the work site and they said the new Mac version of Firefox has done this to several others in the workplace. Any chance you can send me the previous version of Firefox so I can do my required work? Thank you!

Thank you very much for your reply! I will definitely pass this along to the IT department! Smiling now!

Search button is non responsive in Safari and no pop up window appearing

When trying to search for a product in a page on safari, when trying to press the search button is non responsive.

This no longer happens, any help with this would be fanatstic - Thank you

Hi Joerg
did you see NWBC Web GRC v10 WSOD
The comments in there imply it's an issue with IE8. Have you been able to try a different browser? There is a reference to specific IE8 note

Occasionally, when I try to do a Google search, numerous "opening search" pop-up windows appear. I cannot continue typing in my search until I've closed all of these pop-up windows. How do I stop them from EVER popping up again?!

They are small pop-up windows. When I start entering in keywords to search, ever so often, these things pop-up and not just one. Many of them. Popping one upon another upon another upon another. I cannot enter anything new into the Google search box until I have closed all of these windows. And, commonly, numerous ones of them will pop up again when I enter in the next letter in my search.
This is what it says in the pop-up box:
Along the top it says in the light blue margin "Opening search"
Under the above and in a white box it says:
"You have chosen to open
[a Windows symbol] search
which is a: application/json
from: https//www.google.com
Then on the outline of an inner box, it reads "What should Firefox do with this file?" and it gives the following options:
Open with ["Browse" button]
DownThemAll!
Save File [This one is checked as the default]
Then a check-off box with the text next to it: "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.
Under that is an "OK" button that is gray and cannot be checked and a "Cancel" button that can be. I have never done either but used the "X" in the upper right corner of the box to close out this window.
Now I see I have limited options for "This happened" for frequency. It isn't every time Firefox is opened but it is FAR more frequent than "A few times a week". More like several times a day.

Pop up windows appear when using RP Data but the window is empty IE no data is displayed. How can I fix this?

The real estate information web site, RP Data, has a mapping feature that should display a site map of the property being searched in a pop up window and it is this particular pop up that doesn't work; other pop ups work EG Google Street View.
Please note that this is a members only web site.
Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
regards
John

Hi John,
I am an employee at RP Data and have the solution to your problem.
The mapping feature requires a free Java plugin for your browser. Please navigate to [http://java.com/en/ http://java.com/en/] and click on the ''''Free Java Download'''' link. Once installed close and reopen your web browser before loggin into RP Data and loading the map.
If you run into any problems please contact our support team on 1300 734 318 who will be more than happy to assist you. Alternatively you can launch a support web chat feature via the rpdata.com website.

Itunes 10.5 can't open 2nd time on windows 7. Logging off and on again helps, but ...

After having installed iT 10.5 on Windows 7 iT starts without any problems. After quitting iT however, it cannot be restarted without logging off and logging on again. Anybody have a solution/fix ?

If you are not using WIFI SYNC, there is a temporary fix:
1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
2. Go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. Rename file "APSDaemon.exe' into "APSDaemon1.exe" from this location:
32bit Windows C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
64bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\

IMac much faster after logging out and back in.

Last week I installed a piece of software that required me to log out then log back in for it to take effect. After logging back in I noticed that my iMac was running substantially faster than before. When I went to reopen Safari and Mail the applications just appeared with barely a bounce in the dock. Normally my iMac runs OK, but this is noticeably faster.
When I reboot an am automatically logged in I get the same OK performance, but if I log out then log back in I'm right back to running very fast.
Does anyone know why exactly this happens? Or if there is a way to keep from having to log out then back in again to reap this benificial performance?

Yes, it does release memory, Diane, but what is puzzling is that there is absolutely nothing that logging in and out accomplishes that a restart wouldn't also do. I don't doubt that his system is faster, but I don't know why that would do more than just shutting it off and turning it back on again, which is where the mystery lies.

When I open Firefox a pop-up box appears with no conent and I must close it to continue.

When I first open Firefox a window appears over my home screen with two choices, neither of which does anything when I click on it. I can close the box and continue. Sometimes I can not close a program in Firefox because the same box pops up when I try to close the window.

That is a problem with the ThinkVantage Password Manager Extension.
