Can not turn on Safari Extensions in Preferences, switch just doesn't respond. How can I do it?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

i can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
Hope this helps!

HT3775 I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up that automatlicly

I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up automatlicly?

The problem was resolved a small manipulation - on stage Basic Configuration,
point 3 "Configure CA Introscope"
I forgot to add to the list of CA Introscope Enterprise Managers link to my manager.
Thus it is necessary to take into account that the path should be correct (usually for linux - /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope) and the directory should be applied appropriate privileges.
Then in paragraph "Byte Code Adapter Installation" - there are all the necessary data, and it starts to work correctly

My iphone will not turn on at all even when i do a hard restart. how can i fix this?

My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

My phone is not switching from 4G over to WiFi. The phone has the network memorized its just not check marking the network and to switch over to WiFi. How can I fix this?

I have the iPhone 4S and the wifi was working on it earlier yesterday. I noticed that the wifi didn't kick on last night. It has the network memorized so it could connect automatically. The network name pops up and there's a signal but the spinning circle thing is there and it won't put a check mark by the network name. The wifi will pop up every now and then but only stay for a minute or less. Everyone else's phone and computer is connecting just fine but mine isn't. It won't switch over to WiFi from 4G. I've tried turning off the wifi on my phone. I've tried to forget the network and put in the password numerous of times and I tried to fix it by turning my phone on and off and that still didn't work. I'm hoping that this is a temporary thing but I don't know. What's a good way to fix this because seriously I would like to not use up all of my data for this kind of bull crap. So what's a good way to fix this?

I got the ATV hooked up to the WiFi after manually inputting the DHCP settings.
The ATV will not see iTunes from a PC on the same iTune network. I guess you need an Apple computer for iTunes to connect to the ATV.
The biggest problem is that the iTunes store on the ATV is nonexistent I imagine because of competition/ monopolies in the UAE. If I was in Lao, Burma, Thailand, Mozambique no problem. 40 Countries are listed and non of them are from the Middle East. When I logon to the iTunes store on my PC it too does not allow for me to buy any movies or TV shows. I am not sure why.
As for the iPad OS6, iTunes has an icon and when you click it you get iTune U or Podcast, no video content. The App store works fine and they are always happy to take your money but no video content.
To top it all off YouTube is no longer licensed under OS6.0 and although I can get it on Google Chrome it is by no means as quick (for reasons unknown).
As I said before if I choose United States as my country the ATV hooks up and lets me browse TV and movies and watch trailers but not able to purchase (obviously).
So my conclusion is that ATV will not hook up to the iTune store in the UAE? If this is incorrect please clue me in.

I still can not update my imac from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3 how can i uodate it?

Navigate to: ~/libary/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and drag the file to the desktop. Then restart the computer in Safe Mode and use Software Update to download 10.8.3 and then restart normally.
If you don't know how to get to the plist file noted above then:
Finder - Go (menu) - Go to folder and copy and paste ~/libary/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist in and hit Enter.

Can not turn on keychain

Help, I can not turn on my Keychain and the switch to turn it on is greyed out.

I appreciate your help.
Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing. I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval". Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there. But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
Thanks

I, too, keeping getting a pop up when in Safari that is from "tap-security.rubicon.... I saw the suggestion to turn off all extensions, but this didn't help. What next can be done?

I read that several other people have been bothered by a drop down message talking about a bad certificate and perhaps non secure site when working in Safari. I, too, keeping getting this pop up when in Safari that is from "tap-security.rubicon.... I saw the suggestion to turn off all extensions, but this didn't help. What next can be done?

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

When I try to exit a video on the internet I received a screen asking if I was sure I want to leave. It to not have a confirmation tag. But it has prevented Safari from shutting down. Now I can not turn off my Mac? How do I reset?
