For about seven months I have pop ups and tabs openning on their own, asking me questions and showing me what I didn't ask to be shown.
For about seven months now (from June 2013) I have pop ups asking me private question while masking themselves according to the results of my browsing. Sometimes they're streaming "news" and other stuff that I didn't ask for. It also may be tabs and not pop ups, that are doing the same. First I was thinking that this is kind of "infection", but all my screenings failed to detect anything answering that my computer is clean. I considered changing the browser, but my computer is weak and your browser is light, differently from Microsoft's one. So now I just close those things as quickly as I can. But, sometimes, when I walk away, it shows whole "movies" to no one, while wasting my resources and quotas.
I just wonder if it is possible to get rid of this stuff. Is it infection or part of the design? And in case it is an "infection", is anybody interested to investigate in order to protect your browser from similar attacks in the future?
Your "More System Details" didn't include information on your extensions, but one of those could be responsible.
Could you check for unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt that something is valuable and useful, disable it.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that change how Firefox behaves?

my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.
Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.) -
My problem is Firefox will run reasonably fast - for a while, I do have quite a few tabs open, They start out in background mode, but as soon as I access them (to view or download from them) even if I close them as I go, FF will start to slow down and it isnt long before FF drops to a crawl sometimes taking MINUTES to answer a click on the file menu (example) no fancy benchmarks needed.
Having to restart FF and hoping your tabs come back for a temp. speedboost is NOT acceptable.
I have to restart at least 3-5x a day - anyone else think this is stupid?
I have 6 gigs ram, XP 32 only uses about 3.5 of it, 2.33ghz core duo, plenty of drive space.I understand that after using Firefox for a while there are some issues with speed. [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]

I want popups on Firefox from Facebook applications. i DO get the pop ups, however, the box is only HALF there so I cannot use it. When the pop up comes up, i cannot see where it says "post, ok, cancel" I cannot do anything with that box. i try to drag it to see the bottom of the box, but it will not resize. i have to go back and use IE to get those pop ups to post to my page. how do i get the full box up?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== alwaysI have the exact same problem!!! I do not have the problem in IE. I prefer using FireFox, but I have to use a different browser for facebook. :(

Hi, I have had my ipad air for about a month. The other day I took it out of its cover and it was splintered from the top with downward cracks. It is new and under warranty so I rang the support team. They told me that it would cost about €120 but could be repaired on the spot and they made me an appointment at the local genius bar. I got there and they told me that I had dropped it or banged it or something. I said I had not, they insisted that I must have done. I repeated several times that I had not - it was obvious they did not believe me, they said I must have done. They then told me they never repaired or replaced broken glass in any ipads, that the man on the 'Support' had been wrong. They always replaced the whole ipad at a cost of €300. I was devastated at not being believed and at the amount of money they were asking for. I left and rang the support again. I was told their system was down but to call on monday to get a quote for the reparation, I could send it to my home insurance company and they would undoubtedly cover the repair. I asked how long this was all going to take because, I was in the middle of a big project and this was taking up my time, and also I needed the ipad for my work. They told me it would be done in a minute. I rang on the Monday and I was told it would take up to 5 days to send but probably it would arrive sooner (it is now thursday, I have received nothing). I then rang my household insurance, a big company - and they told me they had never heard of such a cover. I asked if this was because I had a very basic policy, they said, no it wasn't that - I didn't have a basic policy I had quite thorough policy, but they didn't know of a policy in any comany that would cover this sort of damage. I was stunned - yet again I had been given false information and false hope by apple. Yet again I was let down. I then decided to do a further investigation on the internet and discovered a long trail of comments on Apple Forum of people who have also had splintering and cracking of the ipad air glass for no reason whatsoever. Some have commented that the glass could be thinner in order to reduce the weight, some have said that the splintering could be caused by a weakness in the casing at the top where it is plastic (the ones that take sims) that might make it more flexible and therefore liable to crack.
All of the posts and complaints on the apple forum and elsewhere seem to point to a design fault. However throughout all this I have been mislead by apple support staff constantly who all say different things, I have virtually been accused of lying by denying that my ipad received any kind of impact by apple staff and I have been left feeling incredibly frustrated and upset by the total lack of any kind of real help by Apple. All this despite being acomplet apple user in my business for the last 25 years, where I have never come across this attitude towards me as a customer before.
When the screen on my iphone broke, it was because I fell in the street while I was talking on the telephone, it flew out of my hand and smashed on the pavement. I was rolling around in agony, while my son was holding up the smashed telephone wailing 'Mama, you've smashed your iphone!!!' This of course, I blamed on noone but myself - it broke because it fell, I paid an arm and a leg without protest to get it repaired.
This is not the case with my new ipad air. It has splintered for no good reason at all - and noone at Apple seems to want to help me or to care!
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if there is anything else I can do to ge this matter resolved?If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description. -
...can you tell im new to this!!
Well as i was saying...
I have had this reconditioned 3gs for about a month and it has been working spot on until this evening, I received a text and went to slide the screen to answer and it is not responding.
I have shut it down, the top half of screen slides!!
I have restarted it, using top button and home button.
I have updated and restored it.
And I have cleaned it!!
Now i am out of ideas....can anyone help or do i have to give up and send back to apple...again?
If it is the latter, do you think it will cost me again or does a recon from them come with a warranty??
thank you for reading

Hi I have an Imac I5 21.5 inch.It was working perfectly.Then i didnt use that for about 2 months. Week ago when i want to start the Imac ,it didnt start.
When press and hold or keep on pressing the power button then i hear the fans are working and i get a continuous beep( but low freqency tone).
But screen does not turn on.Please help me to rectify this problem.Best Regards. By the way I am an electronic technician.So if there are any technical things to be done, Pls let me know.I can do it my self.Hey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Hi I Have A Prepaid Smart Phone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line. Is There Anyway I Can Use My Excellent Payment History With There Prepaid Department To Switch To A 2-Year Contract And Not Have To Pay The $400 Deposit. And This Is Due To The Fact I Have No Credit History Whatsoever
Since you have no credit history, my guess is you would need at least a year of on time payments, and I'm not sure a pre-paid account would qualify as you can stop at any time.
You didn't specify your age, but getting started int he credit world is not easy - you may try applying for a gas card, or a credit card, and USE them, pay them off each month - and expect to take a year or more to establish a record. -

There is not a problem with the DSL or router. I am using the laptop now. Could someone please give this eectnically challenged individual assistance?

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.
All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

I have Lookout 6.5 running with Windows 7, the process has been running for about 2 months with no problems, but today the Citadel stopped working!
How could this have happened and what can I do to get it running again?Didnt realize there was a response, late getting back to you.
Save your process files outside of the NI progam directory (you should have external backups already right ). THey should not be deleted.
Any customizations to the lookout.ini and lookout.sec file may be lost.
