An iphone app dealer keeps taking over my phone.

King.com Unlimited keeps forcing my iPhone to go to its Apple app-store app[s] page[s].They have several 'games' where they later persuade you to buy other features for their games.
How in heck can I prevent this ???? Is there a way to block it? Is my iPhone infected ?
I've never tried nor installed any of their games and am sick and tired of them taking over my phone, randomly, and frequently.
I can get off the page, but I'm seeing this/these pagepages far too mny times.

If it helps, my iSO is 7.1.1
It is an action from two events
1. using the kissanime streaming site. [which I can understand]
2. happens even when I'm not using the site. [but not as often, yet]
In the first case, I sometimes get an iPhone pop-up that asks me if I want to open the app page. it reads more like something wants to open an app page, do you agree ? More exactly like the pop-up says something can't open to the app store page, will I allow it?
I'll do a capture of it later and be more exact.
The times it just pops me over there when I'm not on that site nor using the browser are completely unexpected.
What I would prefer is that any such action acting upon my phone -always- asks the user if he/she/I will allow it.
It seems to be neccessary to prevent what I will think of as 'slimeware' forcing the iPhone to go to their app-store pages.
Since that requestor happens sometime, there should be a way to have it always be active; even if it requires an iSO update to have it be so. If I could make it always be active, I would consider the problem to be solved.

If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Babylon search engin keeps taking over my home page.I have deleted it from my computer and it just took over Google again. How can I get rid of it?

Since I downloaded Mozilla Firefox on my new computer, Babylon search engine keeps taking over my home page. I have deleted it from my computer and have installed Google as my home page - It has just done ANOTHER hostile takeover and completely kicked Google off. Babylon doesn't even find the right things I search for. It is horrible - is it a virus and how do I get rid of it?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on. ???

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline. Any suggestions. It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

Do iPhone Apps consume more space over time?

Recently my wife's 16GB iPhone4 ran out of capacity. I spent an evening removing 5.5GB of Apps via iTunes (even though when I added up each individual App size, it should have been 500MB max). It took many attempts because iTunes kept encountering errors with specific Apps, which seemed to resolve themselves eventually - but took ages.
I have a 32GB iPhone4 myself, and noticed that I too appear to have 6GB of Apps - so I decided perhaps I should clean up my phone too - and perhaps the only reason I hadn't already run out of space too was that I had the extra 16GB.... However, before I started on that, I thought I'd better check with you good folk if there is any reason Apps would take up so much space?
I was wondering whether any iPhone Apps will start off as 20MB for example for the basic App, but then start storing content, rapidly increasing in size?
Does anyone have any suggestions for me at all?

You're right, apps can accumulate data. Some more than others. I had this same problem and eventually realized that my Vimeo app alone was sitting on an almost 3-gig cache. Luckily, the Vimeo app has a "Clear Cache" button in the settings (it will clear all your Vimeo editing projects, so make sure they're done and saved). Other apps do not.
So that's the first group of suspects you should look at: Video editing apps, such as iMovie, Vimeo, Splice, etc. Go in and clear out your old projects. Next, check any Video and Still Camera apps that store the pics/footage within the app rather than to the camera roll. Camera+, Filmic Pro, Super8 are a few ballooning apps that I have to keep tabs on.
Those are probably your biggest offenders right there. I would look at the kinds of apps you use and try to figure out which ones are likely to accumulate data. iBooks, Kobo or Kindle might be jammed full of colour books and PDFs you don't need to carry around. Any PDF readers you might have, worth a peek. Evernote doesn't store notes locally, but it does store thumbnails I think. Those shouldn't take too much space.
What I'm trying to find is some way to see which app is taking up how much space on the iPhone. It's not enough to look in iTunes and see how much space the app takes up when it's new, we need a way to see how much space an app is taking up NOW

HT204264 How do I limit the amount of space used by photos on my phone - now that I turned iCloud on it is taking over my phone

How do I limit the amount of space used by photos on my phone - now that I turned iCloud on it is taking over my phone

Hello Maahk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to optimize your Photos storage. If you are using iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, please read over the information in the attached article.
iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
Have a great day,
Joe

HT201272 I previously downloaded iphone apps and stored them on my phone and computer. Now I want to download them to my ipad but my iphone bit the dust. how can I get previously purchased apps to my new ipad.?

I purchased an application that offered all kinds of books, imbedded within, at no cost...now on IPAD all like books, study guides, are imbedded for purchase. I dont see why I have to pay for the application twice...It was Olive Bible : offering on my phone at least 5-10 different translation, plus 20+ books by the old Church preachers dating back to the reformation forward. Please advise how to access my iphone apps...already paid for...to install on my ipad.

If they are still in the store and you are signed in with the same account (and they are compatible with iPads) then you should be able to download them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app - you may need to tap the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of that screen and select 'iPhone Apps' instead.
Or if you have on your computer's iTunes you can connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to your iPad.

Re: I am on my iPad when I have opened an app it keeps taking me back to my App Store

Hi Garry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communtities!

Hey there artysx,
It looks like you have some faint vertical lines that appear on the login screen only on two separate computers. I would use these steps to resent your video system from the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IPhone 4 software update taking over 24 hours

I began updating my phone over the air yesterday, iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1, to the latest software, and to my surprise it is still updating. I basically can't use my phone at all- it has become a brick. The phone constantly turns off and on an "apple" display... not allowing me to restart it, or even turn it on/off.
What should I expect? Is this how it looks when it's updating?
I began doing the update under wifi at home, but eventually took the phone to work later on, expecting it to have already been completed.

My computer has been invaded by something called findr and it keeps taking over firefox. I've uninstalled and reinstall firefox.

Findr, whatever that is, keeps changing my default homepage to findr. It defaults my search engine to findr. I change it back to what it was and within a day or two it goes back.
The findr page says it is not encrypted and therefore my internet usage is open to anyone.
I've uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and it reverted back to findr the next day.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Trying to update iphone/app store, keeps defaulting to old email account

how do i tell the phone to use the new email account? i logged out and logged back in using the new email account, other than that i am not quite sure what to do, i know its going to be something simple but what and where!
thanks in advance

both update my apps and download new ones, i think most are downloaded/purchased via the new email acct, so i should delete them and redownload them? i know i did a restore on my phone a few months back when it died and apple replaced it, they could be tied to the old account because of that

Yahoo keeps taking over my search engine, yes I've disabled cookies, etc. Make it stop.

Sometimes when I'm searching for something, Yahoo just takes over. I've deleted cookies, certificates, and anything else I could find to get rid of it. I don't use Yahoo as a search engine, I use Google. I deleted it under Manage Search Engines. This shouldn't be happening. With it happening to so many people, why are you allowing this?

Does this happen in the middle of a session? You may have an unwanted extension that is modfying search behavior. Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
If the change occurs only between sessions, when you exit and start up Firefox again, check for a user.js file. This article describes how to do that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
