Annoying Ads Wont Go Away

I keep getting these "visual match" ads, pop ups, and redirect tabs.  Its never happen before until a couple of days ago.  I use chrome and my macbook is up to date.  Is there anyway I can get rid of these without having to buy anything?

  • Annoying Little Circle wont go away on my e66

    This little grey circle on the top right corner of my media icon wont go away. This happened after I opened the now playing application. Unfortunately I cant get it to go away. Suggestions? Would love it if i could turn that option off.
    And yes, I'm aware its because one of my applications is on. I just can't tell which one.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The media icon represents a folder.
    Go into it and there will be another icon with a circle next to it. That is the application running. Close it and the circle will go away.
    So, in case you hadn't worked it out, the circle represents not only an application that's running, but also a folder containing an application that's running.

  • My ipod touch 4g is turning up or down by itself, and the speaker icon wont go away

    Okay this first started yesterdy morning, when my ipod touch4g was acting funny it wouldnt turn off, so i thought if i plugged it in it would fix itself, so i thought restoring would help it,made it worse it started turning off and on apple logo came on a few times, now i got it where i can turn it off and on okay but now i cant seem to controle the volume, and the speaker icon is showing and wont go away, and when i try turning it down when i play a song or a video, it will turn back up by itself, or it will turn down by itself,
    what would be the best way to fix this without taking it in? the nearest apple store is dallas and i dont wanna spend all the money in gas to go up there, and then see what arm and leg i gotta cut off to get them to fix it.
    should i restore and resync it one more time or should i start saving for a new ipod along with the new computer im needing?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When i plug in my ipod to itunes it shows an advertsment that wont go away

    i plug in my ipod touch into the computer and when i click on MY IPOD it show an advertisment  for an iphone application. when i click NOT NOW the advertisement wont go away. it stays on itunes not allowing me to sync or do anything on itunes with it. this is not a problem on my ipad 2 but just the ipod touch 3rd gen. please help.
    P.S. no i cannot restore it because i wl loose all of my songs since they are not in my itunes library yet.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My i pod shows my charger and itunes so i download i tunes. But itunes said i had to do my passcode but the charger and itunes symbol wont go away long enough for me to enter my passcode! what do i do?

    My ipod shows my charger and itunes, so i download itunes. But then itunes says i musst enter my passcode on my i pod but the charger and itunes symbols wont go away long enough for me to enter my passcode. what should i do?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Keyboard wont go away.......

    im at the appstore and the keyboard is there and wont go away and i cant go to home screen on the appstore cuz of the keyboard still there and i dont know how to make it go away, any ideas?

    Press the home button to go back to the home screen. Then double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and hold the AppStore icon. Then close the app by pressing on the top left corner of the app. Now try to reopen the app. See if that helps.
    If not restart the iPhone.
    If that doesn't work reset the iPhone by pressing both the home and sleep button till the iPhone shuts off. Ignore the slide to shut off prompt. The restart the iPhone.

  • Advertizment wont go away

    The January upgrade ad wont go away for my iPod touch. Ive tried the "No Thanks" "Purchase" and "Remind me Later"
    All cause this error: The iTunes store could not process your request, please try again later.
    I am always connected to internet, and Ive tried behind a router and without one. My firewall is set to allow iTunes communications.
    What is goin on?! its really annoying

    Have you tried this?:
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    If a "regular toggling" doesn't seem to do anything, try this:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
    3 - After you've done that for a little bit, eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.

    I've been having so many problems and its all getting too much now. 
    I've sent an email in detailing everything, I just hope someone can fix this as someone else using my email address etc to get service is not right, true? 
    Anyway if you can let me know what I can do re the error. Thanks 

    When I sign in to BT.com it comes up telling me to activate ebilling... I've been on ebilling for months & months, when I click on "activate" it comes up with the following error and wont let me get rid of the activation screen...
    So I cant see Bills/Paymens, Broadband usage, nothing at all. I just keeps saying to activate ebilling..
    BT are confused as well as the email address I am entering is my registered email address, its showing me logged in to my account but I cant see beyond the error screen telling me to activate ebilling. 
    I'm waiting on it being looked into by technicians.
