Can't Disable Safari Pop-Up Blocker

I'm using Safari 5.1.7 on my iMac's OS X version 10.6.8 system, and am unable to get the pop-up blocker disabled. I enabled it a few days back to see the effect, and found that some of the sites I depend on did not display certain information that is useful to me. Now I can't disable the pop-up blocker. I've cleared the enable checkbox for the pop-up blocker in Safari > preferences > security, as well as making sure that Safari > Block Pop-Up Windows is deselected. I have also restarted the computer after selecting those options. All to no avail. I still don't receive many of the graphics that should be presented by the websites.
Thank you for any help you may offer.

I found my problem!  While fooling around with the machine, I had unchecked the box marked "Display images when the page opens" which is found under Safari > Preferences > Appearance.  Putting a check in that box got the pages to load with everything viewable.

  • How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

    When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
    I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
    Thanks

    Hi IamR.Ph.
    Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
    In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
    If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

  • The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

    I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
    it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
    HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

    pixlor:
    OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
    in earlier
    versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
    don't apply.
    That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
    thing....

  • I have disabled my pop up blocker but it still does not open pop up windows on certain sites.

    I work on Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.8, webbook, 3Connect broadband dongle.
    I have disabled my pop up blocker in options, but I still can not access, among others, ebay's 'add tracking number' window, the image library on www.demandstudios.com and the log in pop up on my bank's website. Is there another place I have to disable the pop up blockers? I have virus checked my web book, emptied the cache etc.
    Help or tips would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How do I disable my pop-up blocker on a Mac Pro?

    My son is taking a summer school course and he needs to disable the pop-up blocker.  Anyone know how to do this?

    It depends upon which application you are running. On later versions of Safari this option is in Safari, Preferences, Security.

    Hi kingkash :-)
    if you wish to disable Pop-ups, you can follow these instructions:
    Type about:config in the address bar
    Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false
    To re-enable the Pop-up blocker, set dom.disable_open_during_load to true
    I hope you find this information useful.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • I turned off Safari pop up blocker but it still says I have a pop up blocker.  How do I find pop-up blockers?

    I have turned the pop-up blocker off in Safari, but I still am getting the message to turn off my pop up blocker when I try to read my e-mail in AOL.  It will not let me click on any e-mail to go to a web site.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I want to chat with Windows Fix-it Center on a matter & keep getting the message 'you must first disable your pop-up blocker', how do I do this?

    Not sure what other details that you are referring to.
    I've a message concerning an issue with my recycle bin. I wish to chat with Microsofts Windows Fix-it Center online. The message that they send says: 'you must first temporarily disable your browsers pop-up blocker to enable this chat'. Nothing more, nothing less, sounds simple & innocuous, right? All my question is, is how can I accomplish this???

    Virgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
    They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done!  So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...

  • Disabling Safari Pop-Up

    How can I disable the following Safari pop-up:
    "Are you sure you want to send this form again?"
    I am a seller at Amazon and have opened and closed Safari three times over the last 5 years because of that pop-up. When editing my listings, I need to back space three times each one is completed and this pop-up really slows things down. It does not happen at Mozilla or Internet Explorer but I need another site to work on a specific project. I really like Safari but not with this annoying feature.

    There is an extension called Safari AdBlock that may work for you.
    It's located in the Productivity category in Safari > Safari Extensions...
    Very hand as you are aware. you can toggle the extension on/off easily from Safari > Preferences - Extensions.

  • Uninstalling safari pop up blocker

    Hello, when using Godaddy enterprise mail this message appears: You have the following pop-up blockers installed: Safari®'s Built-in blocker
    I went thru similar topics in this forum and all explain how to uninstall this blocker from safari>preferences, and this is what I do, but the problem won't go away, it seems there is another blocker hidden somewhere.
    Macbook Pro OSx 10.9.4
    Can anyone help in this matter? Thanks a lot.

    I'm afraid I don't even know what, specifically, you are referring to, I'm afraid. Does this come from Safari or from a site you are visiting with Safari? Can you post an image of it to look at?
    To post a screen shot do this:
    Press COMMAND-SHIFT-4 which will change the cursor to crosshairs.
    Hold down the mouse button and use the crosshairs to select the part of the screen you wish to capture.
    Release the button and the image will be saved to your Desktop.

  • Can I disable "Downloads" pop-up window?

    The window, that pops up every time I open pdf, doc or xls, it is very disturbing, can I turn it off?

    More simple via Settings: The leftmost tab, I do not know its label since I am not using the English version. Could it be "Common"? There you will find a check box with a label similar to "Show the window File manager when a file is downloaded", again: I am using the Swedish version. Someone who can tell the correct English labels?
