  • I am playing words w/ friends and an add has popped up for "tiny monsters" and I cannot get rid of it...HELP!

    I am playing word with friends and a commercial pops up for tiny monsters and I cannot get rid of it HELP!

    Can you exit out of the app by pressing the home button ? If you can then try closing the Words With Friends app via the taskbar and see if it reappears when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Words app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Words app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Flash mail is attached and we cannot get rid of it-HORRIBLE PROBLEMS

    FLASH MAIL somehow got attached to Mozilla and even the Apple Care people could not get rid of it. IT HAS RUINED my computer use. Cannot log on without this thing jamming up the works. Apple could not even contact Mozilla for help. Heck of a way to treat a contributor.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

    Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • A "Caret Browsing" box has popped up and I cannot get rid of it.

    This box just showed up and even when I tell it not to show me again and click no it does not go away. If I try to move it it pops back to the middle of my screen. Currently there are 4 of them now on my desktop. I did not download anything and do not think that I pressed F7 key to start this dialog. How do I get rid of this? I do not want or need it. This also opens when I closed Firefox and tried to us IE to look it up and see what it was.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro. While getting rid of voice over I ended up with a black box with icons in it and I cannot get rid of it and I can't get off the home screen

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro . I got into voice over and then figured out how to stop that but now have a black box in the middle of the home screen and that box has a bunch of icons .....(Keyboard, pointer etc) I cannot get it to close and I'm not able to go past the home screen.  Help

    If you click on that window, the menu bar should change to whatever program that is. Then click the program name and click Exit.
    If that doesn't work, click the Apple icon, then Force Quit. Look for something that says Not Responding and quit it.
    Last... if nothing else works reboot and see if that does it.

  • All my text in Google and all emails in Gmail is bold text and I cannot get ride of it. Tried to uninstall and re-install without success

    The Goggle Seach and Gmail text is always bold. This happened as part of upgrade to Firefox 6.0 and the 6.01 upgrade did not help.
    Strangle this webpage present the text in a proper way and not bold.
    I tried to change the settings but cannot get it to work. It is not zoomed in or out (I tried that) and Windows is up to date (Windows 7).

    With an ATI graphics card like the OP of this thread has a possible cause and solution is to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver.

  • Aol Search has become the search engine and I cannot get rid of it

    I have Google as my search engine but as soon as I ask a question Aol Search pops up and I dont like its searches. I tried to remove from Task bar but not there and cannot seem to find anyway to get rid of it.

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''About:Config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • Firefox was working fine, I closed it and later it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it will now open. I've followed all the directions and all I get is the crash reporter when I try to open firefox. It does not open at all. HELP

    I'm using XP sp3, fully patched with the current version of firefox 3. 6.12. I have 4 gb memory and a 250 gb hard drive. Most of which is all free, so I have lots of memory and hard drive space. I was using firefox and everything was working fine. I shut it down and when I went back later, it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed the user acct, followed all directions I could find and firefox will not open. I've run all kinds of scans on my computer for viruses or malware and found nothing. Everytime I try to open firefox, I get the crash reporter and it will not open at all. I would appreciate some help. I don't know what else to try. I use firefox as my default browser.

    hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

  • On my windows 7 laptop, after trying two suggestions, I cannot GET RID of yahoo as the Firefox search engine!!! Help Please!!

    For two weeks I have been fighting to remove yahoo as the search engine with Mozilla Firefox. I am running the newest version of Firefox. I followed information I found online and fixed my desktop. The same information will not work on my laptop. The path was (about:config) (type keyword.URL in the filter box) ( on the string that appears, right click on keyword.URL) (select modify) ( type in the url of your choosing, choices are given) and that is supposed to fix it. It did on my desk top not my laptop.

    After months, I think I figured it out...
    I was frustrated because I like to use the url bar as my search engine, which is not fixed using the link posted by jadeye.
    Try this...
    * In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
    * Inside of the filter search box, type in: browser.search.defaulturl
    * ctrl click and choose “Modify”
    * Type in: http://www.google.com/search?lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    * Do the same process with: keyword.URL and use:
    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    I think those steps finally fixed it for me. F-ing Blingee / SearchCanvas. What a racket.

  • Wrong artwork is loaded on list and I cannot get rid of it

    For some reason some of the artwork that has loaded on to my itunes is incorredt. Incorrect artest, album, and artwork. Especially problematic with any "greatest hits" albums. I cannot delete it, remove it, replace it or anything. Any suggestions? Thanks, Glenda

    *some reason some of the artwork that has loaded on to my itunes is incorredt. ....... I cannot delete it, remove it, replace it or anything*
    What have you done so far to try and remove the artwork, have you tried any of these methods?
    Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library hold down the Command (⌘) key and click on each of the songs you want to highlight).
