Dialog box that won't go away

Hi,
I received an email from VH1 today (I do receive periodic emails so they are legit) that keeps running a dialog box of "To view this page, you need to log in to area “” on www.vh1-d.mtvi.com:80." And it asks for a login & password. This dialog box will not go away (I've tried a Force Quit & Restart but as soon as I start Mail it starts all over). This appears to 'freeze up' mail because I can see new mail but I cannot access it as the dialog box continually runs in the preview window. I am running 10.5.6. I also have an older G4 PowerBook that received the same email but I did not have any issues with deleting it or any dialog boxes.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you!
Jon

I just had the same thing and with the help of my son and husband we were able to open a new mail window, slide the preview window down all the way and then delete the email from vh1. we then restarted the computer and it was gone. Hope this helps

What version of Pages 09?
How did you install/upgrade it?
When did this happen?
What did you do before this happened? eg Upgrade your System?
Have you upgraded Pages '09 to v4.3?
Have you tried opening it from a different User Account? If so what happened?

Dialogue box that won't go away

While using Word, it suddenly shutdown, disappeared fromn the screen and a dialogue box appeared: "The application Word quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen t;o open the application again..." The three buttons are "Close", "Report" and "Reopen".
None of the buttons work. There is no way to move the dialogue box. AND, when I shut down the computer and started up again, the dialogue box appeared again - not functioning.
How can I get this dialogue box off my screen?

Developments since posting question:
- The dialogue box can be moved around the screen by dragging on the upper part. But it will not go into Trash.
- I just found and installed a new MS Office 2004 update for resolving the issue: "Word quits unexpectedly when clicking on print."
- That doesn't solve my problem. Word is now quitting when I click on "Save as", and all new work is lost.
What a bummer! Maybe I have to reinstall Office 2004.

Attempting to exit a tab in any fashion, the page puts up a dialog box and won't exit.

When attempting to exit a tabbed page by any means, the page puts up a dialog box that occupies a vertical strip of the entire computer screen. It has a question mark and says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
PRESS ESCAPE OR CLOSE THIS ALERT"
When you press escape or close the alert, the dialog box goes away, but you don't exit the page.
I suspect a malefactor has somehow captured the page and modified its behavior, so I doubt the reported URL will help.
I need to find some foolproof way to close the tab.
Thank you,
John
and won't exit.

try clicking EDIT, on the upper ribbon of your firefox browser, then on the bottom click PREFERENCES, then on the top select the PRIVACY tab. On the right hand side under history there's a couple of buttons that say EXCEPTIONS and show cookies, select EXCEPTIONS and click on the website that is preventing you from closing the tab. Then on the bottom click REMOVE SITE. you can also remove cookies this way. Restart your computer and it should be normal. This worked for me, I hope it works for you!
oh yeah by the way when you click the PRIVACY tab, make sure the "Firefox will: use custom settings for history" option is selected.

Received a dialog box that said "Someone might be trying to steal your data by tricking your time machine to backup"

Received a dialog box that said something like, "Since your time machine has changed, someone may be trying to steal your data through time machine backup". Help?

Remote access security on the TC is pretty good, as long as you do not use default password.. and do use WPA2 Personal wireless security with a decent length password.
Did you change something .. so that TM was forced to backup to what is apparently a different location. If so that has generated this error message.. which is rather a strange one.
The security on the TC itself is a short press of the reset button and it all flies away. So if someone in your household has physical access to the TC your backups can be accessed with ease. If you are concerned encrypt your backup in Time Machine.

I have a box that will not go away, it says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? If i push not now, it keeps popping up, if I push install, it says it's not available, help.

I have a dialogue box that will not go away and it seems to have started when I upgraded to Mt. Lion. the box says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java 6 SE runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? (smaller print) Note: Usw of this software is subject to the Software License Agreement applicable to the software you are downloading. A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: htp://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Finally there are two boxes to click. One says not now. If I click on that the box goes away for 2 to 3 seconds and then pops back up and WILL NOT go away. If I click on the second box, Install, it says The software is currently unavailable. To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open Java Application again.
My confusion here is that I have no idea what the java application is, When I click "okay" on that box, the original box pops us again and WILL NOT go away. CGoing to the apple lega web site was no help. My solution so far has been to drag the dialogue box as far to the lower right and out of the way as far as I can. Help.

Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.

HT201628 I can't get the new version of iTunes to download, I keep getting a dialog box that "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and asks me to verify that I have sufficient priveleges. How do I fix this?

I tried to install the new version of iTunes days ago. It seems like it's going to install and then it comes up with a dialog box that says "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and to verify I have sufficient priveleges. I don't know what I need to do to get it to install.

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

First go into settings, Itunes and App store, sign out and then sign in again! (This might not work)

On my settings, there is a number one (red) that won't go away. There are no updates that need to be done.

Maybe you should try updating 5.1.1 from iTunes? Because I had the same thing and it was 5.0.1.

How can I get past dialog box that wants my country/region? Premiere Elements 13 will not open!!!

Cannot get past the country/region dialog box because the list will not allow me to select the United States as the place where I live. The list is too long and no way to get to the bottom to select the United States!!! I can't get into Premiere Element 13.

Thank you for the reply.
Let us start with
1. Is the computer operating system Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit? If it is and you are installing Premiere Elements 13, then the program files will go by default to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 as the default location. If you have a computer that is using other than Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it will not. Another question is, when your drives were set up, was the SSD drive designated the C drive?
2. From what you wrote, I understood that you were using your installation files or installation disc to install the program, but were getting stopped very early in the installation process because you could not set the country/language. Typically that setting is done while you are starting the installation. One of the early dialog boxes that you get in that process is named Choose Setup Language (or something like that). That is where I believed you could not set the country/language. Is that the place to which you were referring or some place else?
3. You do not need to uninstall Premiere Elements 10 to install and run Premiere Elements 13. Just use one program at a time.
Typically 32 bit applications in a 64 bit computer operating system run in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system. And, these 32 bit applications program files will be in Program Files (x86) Folder. The 64 bit applications program files would be in Program Files. With regard to Premiere Elements 10, some of its files may be found in Program Files and Program Files (x86).
But, the main focus now is getting Premiere Elements 13 installed to the default location on the Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 during the installation process after you designate the country/language and are given a country dependent NTSC or PAL system with which to work.
From a quick look at 13 installation on Windows 7 64 bit, the first installation dialog that mentions language with country implications is
This is for Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit. Since you say that the United States is further down the list in your case, I suspect this is not the place where you are having problems. Note the default location in this Options dialog. Did you leave that as is or change it to something else?
Are you having these issues when you get to the Sign In dialog or some place else?
Please consider and then let us decide what next.
Many thanks for the follow up. Appreciated.

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away. I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away. I can't get into the app store.

This happened to me twice lately. I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked it up to get rid of it.
When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

I FIXED IT.
The issue was a folder name. For some reason, a folder was name Fersions when it should have been called Version. I have no clue why it was named that way, but I named it correctly and the error disappeared.
