Every time a web page opens on my computer I get a popup at the bottom of the screen

saying the web site wants to install Flash player on my computer. I already have the latest version of Flash Player installed. Clicking the 'allow' button does nothing but mkae the popup go away until a new page opens then it comes back. This is very annoying and distracting. How do I get rid of it?

Control Panel> Programs and Features>Uninstall a Program
Look for ANY type of "Application" or "Install" manager that you DIDN'T knowingly install... ESPECIALLY one called "File.org"
Uninstall it if you find it.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

How do I stop the popups every time a new page opens?

How do I stop the popups? Also, how do I stop the links to certain words: bankruptcy attorney, etc. Each time a page opens there are hyperlinks on words.

Every time i plug the phone into the computer i get a popup saying "the usb plugged in is drawing too much power". how am i going to get the song off that old phone and into my new mac

I recently got both an iphone 5 and a macbook air. im trying to take the songs off my old phone (iphone 4s) and get them onto my mac's itunes and then be able to sync them to my new 5. every time i plug in the 4s into the mac, it says that the USB is drawing too much power and has to be shut off. what should i do to recover my songs?

Are you using a usb hub or anything like that? If so, try without. Otherwise unplug everything from your mac and reboot with your iphone 4s plugged in and nothing else.
Hope it works!

Every time I try to open my browser I keep getting a message telling me that 'A copy of firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time'

I have already deleted all old downloads of firefox and reinstalled the latest update but i am still getting the same message. What can I do to fix this ?
Anyone who can help , please use basic language and explanations as I am no computer whizz
Thanks

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.

Every time I try to open Adobe Premiere Elements, it crashes upon startup. The 1 in 20 times it does open, it crashes when I try to add/watch video clips.

How can I stop this from happening?

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Are you using an account with Administrator Privileges?

•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

Every time i try to open iTunes, it tells me i need to change the language...not sure why it is asking me that but how do i do that?

when i open iTunes on my MacBook Air, it tell me i need to change the language version to English....why is it telling me this and how do i change it?

With that particular message, I'd first try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Every time I go to a new site, I also get "How to set the home page: Firefox help. How do I stop this?

This is a Firefox help page that I didn't request, nor do I need.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Every time i try to open logic pro 9 this box opens to download basic content that logic wants to update. i tried 3 times, and it does finish, but when i go to open logic again, box reappears. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

Can anyone help me? Every time i try to open logic pro 9 i get a box telling me logic wants to download a 2G basic content download, but even when it completes, on trying to open Logic it re-appearres and I cant get into Logic.Doesn't appear in downloads, very confusing!!

Try manually downloading and then installing the additional content using this link instead....
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
Note: For anyone else reading this.. This link is for the additional content for Logic Pro 9 and not for Logic Pro X.
Remember to quit Logic Pro 9 prior to installing any additional content files.
If you find you have problems downloading the files from this link you may need to also use JDownloader 2 beta to help you...
http://jdownloader.org/download/offline
Despite the warning notice that it is a Beta product, it works very well... Just remember you have to install Java first, if you haven't done so already.

Every time I try to open a pdf file it says i need to accept the end user agreement

Every time I try to open a pdf file it says I must accept the End User Agreement, so I just try to install it again and it pops up an error.

Does it just say you have to accept the license agreement, or does it say you have to LAUNCH something (Adobe Reader, or Adobe Acrobat)? If it says this, have you done what it says? Or would you like assistance in how to launch stuff in Mac OS or Windows?

HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

Every time a web page opens on my computer I get a popup at the bottom of the screen
