Ad Block Plus is not blocking ads

I downloaded ad block plus 3 years ago and it worked perfectly. Suddenly, it stopped blocking ads. I have tried to use the troubleshooting advice, and have followed the parts I understand. But it still does not work, although it seems to have been downloaded because I see the option of removing it when I go to Tools and Options.
Help!

Is their a way to block ads on Facebook? Chrome has an extension which works well.

I have enable the popup blocker. Google Chrome has an extension that blocks ads on Facebook. Does Firefox have something similar?
I've been using Chrome almost exclusively because of this. Plus Chrome has an extension that eliminates Facebooks new "Ticker".
Thank you.

I want to say that I appreciate your help.
I wasn't familiar with Subscriptions.
The ads are finally gone from FB. But the ticker is still there, not a huge deal, I just find it annoying.
Mozilla was my default browser for a long-time, then I tried Google Chrome, and I have to say, it works much better for me. Crashes less, a *lot* less. Maybe Firefox doesn't work well with Windows Vista (which I hate, but must cont. to use)
The Chrome extension for blocking ads and the ticker, was extremely simple.
Just installed and it worked.
I have other problems with Firefox, the font size on the menu, for one. The one thing that keeps me drawn to Firefox is Reminderfox.
Thanks again for your help.

Blocking Ads in IE11

Hi,
I am a Google chrome user and I want to switch into IE11 on Windows 8.1.
But the problem is that I did not found anyway to block advertissements in IE.
Please, is there any extension or way to do so ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Firstly, we need to update IE and install the latest features. And then we can change the security settings to avoide the pop-ups.
Besides we can use the feature called Inprivate Filtering.

Adblock for Safari 7 doesn't block ads

Over the past couple of weeks adblock plugins isn't blocking ads on any sites. On adblock twitter says: "Hi, we have some issues with Safari 6.1 and 7.0. This is not bug on our side but in Safari, so we couldn't fix this now. We are in contact with Safari team, so the fix from safari could come soon, hopelfully. When Apple fix it?

For example, on youtube page, also shown ads before video. Below a couple screenshots.

Block ads and mackeeper ads

How do I block Mackeeper adverts and random pop up adverts from popping up every time I click on a new tab another ad pops up, and it is getting very annoying. I've tried clicking Safari>security and block ads, and deselected plug ins but they still come up.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
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.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble 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. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Blocking ads on iPhone apps

Cant' block ads with maverick

How can I block ads and pop up screens? I have tried all the settings I can think of.

Here is what I mean with purty pictures:
So if you go into your Macintosh HD you should the the applications folder.
When you are insider there, look for any strange applications applications, I don't know if malware goes to this location on an apple device but you can also check in your downloads for anything.
See if anything looks odd, that could be the source. But as far as chrome extensions go, go to the chrome webstore
If you search for Adblock, it really is the best thing ever!
See. As far as Software for malware protection goes, I would suggest this one. It costs money but trust me it is worth it in the long run. It will also debug your computer after a complete scan.
Anyway, I hope these pictures helped! GOOD LUCK!

After adding plug-ins to block ads, my firefox no longer opens--it hangs/freeze--i have tried to restart, even deleted firefox and downloaded a new version--to no avail! please advise--

Last night I aded a few plug-ins to block ads including Google's--after restarting my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8), my firefox no longer opened, i.e. it hangs/freeze when I open it--I have tried to restart, open in safe mode, even deleted firefox altogether and downloaded a new version, to no avail! Please advise! I have been trying to revive Firefox for hours today--

Hey rumon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "option" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

HT202774 I have I Phone 6 plus and I have Verizon Visual Vocie Mail service I pay for it. THe I Phone 6 plus will not allow the words to show on my screen from my voice messages. What can I do. I have been to Apple, Geek Squad, Verizon, searched I ne

I have tried to get a response from Apple concerning the " I must have the readable version of the Visual Voice Mail from Verizon" The I Phone 6 plus will not let the readable version of Visual Voice Mail from Verizon work on the phone.
Why what can be done to allow this to show on the IPhone6 plus screen. please someone solve this It should be so simple for the powers that built this phone. Simple but so important to the hard of hearing.

This is a user-to-user support forum so you may want to submit feedback to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Also, if Verizon is charging you for Premium Visual Voice Mail (which according to their website is currently the only one that offers voice to text) you should contact them for a refund as the "Check Device Compatibility" link at their http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/products/visual-voicemail.html shows that only 16 phones are supported and the iPhone is not one of them.
If you decide to switch phones, you may also want to consider that feature from Verizon only transcribes the first 45 seconds of a voicemail.

Hi Conny,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that the attachment to an email sent to your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer’s ePrint email address did not print.
After the PDF didn’t print, did you log into your HP Connected account? I’m curious as to what HP Connected indicated about the print job. I have included the ePrint Job Did Not Print document. It has several causes and solutions as to why the PDF didn’t print.
Regards,

I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads. Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads. Whaddup?

I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads. Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads. Whaddup?

Requiring Match to be switched on, even though we have paid, to get ad free Radio can be costly. Why?
Because if you want to listen to Radio with cellular data (not much data required) you are also agreeing to Match over cellular which can suck data like you won't believe.

Firefox keeps closing out hotmail with out warning at all in CA., U.S.A. plus will not close out since 2 weeks ago now ,why is this happening and when will it be fixed? S.A.

why is firefox not allowing hotmail to be used the last 3 weeks?
I keep having my service shut down plus will not allow singing out all the way. is there any plans to fix this problem ? how soon will you fix this problem.
you are way better than internet explored and they are not doing these things so why are you allowing these problems to keep going on?
thank you for getting this fixed and back to normal A SAP.

Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature
