An unknown website just appeared in my 'exceptions' list (Tools Options Security "warn me when sites try to install add-ons"-how could this happen?
downloaded Firefox onto friends' laptop last night. Found it necessary to place two websites in the (afore-mentioned) "Exceptions" category. shut down/re-booted three-four times over the next few hours before shutting down the laptop and going to bed. Booted up this am and, WHOA!-suddenly my menu/toolbars have new, undesired toolbars(?) search boxes(?): the search box, if I remember right, was labeled "My Web Search sponsored by iwon!" Whilst eliminating the intruders I became aware that by some unknown means I had fetched up on some webpage I've never heard of and had no reason to go to-( the very top of my display (above the menu and address bar) read: 'reason upgrade Search' (separated by a line symbol I can't reproduce here), then 'Musician's Friend' ....HUH? (feeling like Dorothy w/o a tornado transport). So I finish getting rid of the invaders and check out my History to try to figure out how I wound up at this website. my history indicates the last site I visited before going to bed, then 'aclk' (www.google/aclk? followed by a string of mixed symbols letters etc. Then 'redirect' (www.rkdms.com/redirect?c=....and a string of numbers and letters. Then the website"reason upgrade Search (?) Musician's Friend " then 'redirect.jhtml' (www.search.mywebsearch.com/mywe.........) Them 'Firefox Web Browser& Thunder....' still no clue how or why I wound up at that site..didn't go there, (not of my volition, anyways!!) so im checking my security settings and in Tools>options>Security>advanced> in the "Exceptions" category of "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" is a website I've never heard of (getpersonas.com) and DID NOT enter!!!!!!!.Need to know how this could happen, how to prevent recurrence and how hard should I hit the panic button because right now I'm totally freaked!
== today
These prefs get set to an empty String once the sites have been added to the whitelist if the pref is not empty if you open the exception window.
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
You can reset these prefs on the about:config page.
xpinstall.whitelist.add - addons.mozilla.org
xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 - getpersonas.com
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Has anyone found a way to fix this?
Ok, I now have:
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('https://www.sitelock.com/verify.php?site=www.elainegeringerpiano.com''SiteLock'' width=600,height=600,left=160,top=170');" ><img alt="website security" title="SiteLock" src="//shield.sitelock.com/shield/www.elainegeringerpiano.com"/></a>
Now I have a blue rectangle on the page after hitting "apply" - no shield. Have I spaced things correctly?

My daughter said that after she updated her Ipad to io6, my name and other info appeared on her device. She does not have my login info so how could this happen? Her Mom purchased the device not me. The two devices have never been synced and never shared the same WiFi. How could this happen and how do I get it off?
It could only happen if your iCloud account was set up on her iPad when she updated to iOS 6. To fix this she needs to delete the account from her iPad and set up her own with a different Apple ID. (Deleting the account will only remove it from her iPad, not from iCloud. Your device will not be effected by this.)
If she was syncing data with your account such as contacts and calendars, her data would have been merged with yours and would now appear on both devices. In that case, she needs to go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPad. After everything is turned off, she should scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, she should set up a new iCloud account on her iPad using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting her contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each device. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
If she wasn't syncing her data with your account, all she needs to do is go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then set up her own with a different Apple ID. -
How do I add "exceptions" to the "remember passwords for sites" feature in Tools/Options/Security?
I like when FireFox remembers and automatically posts user names and password when I go on to most sites. But there are some I do not wish to automatically be posted. However, when I select "Exceptions" within the Tools/Options/Security/Remember Passwords For Sites pathway, all I can do is see the sites that are exceptions. This facility doesn't seem to allow you to add a site (which would then become an exception). Please advise.
Tools > Options > Security > Passwords: Exceptions
Include those that you do not want to save passwords for, such as those regard banks, credit cards, or other financial institutions.
To remove one already created use the "Saved Passwords" on that dialog,
after supplying master password (twice if you view passwords),
:Select the site and use "Remove" to remove the unwanted password.
:Certainly hope you do assign a Master Password to provide some protection to your passwords.
I like that '''about:permissions''' noted by xr417, it does same as above, but allows you to modify something already in system easier. Don't think I've seen that before. Did a search on bank and found an old account/password -- don't even want an old one there. -

I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes. I have tried everything on the website. When i try to remove the components of iTunes I get the same message. How can I download iTunes?
Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you? -
I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game. -
I have a Macbook Pro. I just purchased Acrobat Pro DC and keep getting an error message when I try to download, saying I need to contact support. I've eliminated previous versions of the application because they were US-based versions and I'm now living in Australia. I checked Flash and it seems to be installed correctly. what am I doing wrong?
Hi Laura ,
Could you please elaborate about the issue and also about the error message?
What does it say except contacting the support?
Is it something to do with Licensing and Activation of Acrobat DC?
Also please update us from where are you trying to download Acrobat DC?
I would recommend you to follow these links download Acrobat DC and see if you still face any challenges .

Have you tried resetting the iPod:

button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?
- Maybe here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
- Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I installed an add-on that would allow me to change the content of the context menu. It works like a charm and I want to make a donation to the person who developed it, but I can't remember its name and I don't know how to find a list of the add-ons that I have installed. I've checked the lists that appear when you go to the Add-ons Manager under Extensions, Appearance, and Plugins, but it isn't there. Any help would be very much appreciated.
You're welcome. Could you mark the problem as solved, that along with the comment you already made helps other users with similar problems find aspects of Firefox and try things out for themselves, Thanks.

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!
Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.
SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.
