How does one get rid of Chinese in Safari thank you very much anyone got an idea

Apple have done a great big mistake visibly. How can they have released a new iOS which does not take into each machines configuration.
Maybe it's only about money. Now the boys to the top and the job's family have made a great deal of money out of apple, no one really cares.
In the meantime, if someone does have a way of solving my problem of how to get rid of Chinese in Safari I would be very grateful.
Also the photo upload and other features within the photo system had been changed. It is now difficult to delete photos in bulk and the machine. Is there a solution to that issue?
What I don't understand is this indicates that someone is playing around with making iOS worse not better giving full steam ahead to someone like Samsung and others to pounce.

The Favorites view is create based on a list of bookmarks in a bookmarks folder called "Favorites". You may remove the Chinese web sites from the Favorites view by removing them from the Favorites folders in Bookmarks.
1. Launch Safari.
2. Tap the "Bookmarks" icon to the right of the address view.
3. Tap the "Bookmarks" tab (the one on the left).
4. Tap the "Favorite" folder. You should see the list of Chinese web sites.
5. Tap the "Edit" button.
6. Delete the unwanted bookmarks.
7. Tap the "Done" button.
Note that if you want to add your own websites to the Favorites view, just add a bookmark to the Favorites folder while you're viewing the website.
Also note that changing the language setting won't change the sites in Favorites. The list of sites is created on first upgrade to iOS 7.

How to get rid of Stand in Safari?

Since I have installed Mountain Lion, with Safari 6, I get error messages all linked to Stand. It doesn't prevent Safari from functionning.
I have tried getting rid of Stand in Safari.
I have erased the bundle in the SIMBL folder.
I have erased the folder within the Safari folder, in the library.
I have erased preferences, such as jp.hetima.SafariStand.plist
Nothing related to Hetima (which does Stand) appears to be left on my computer. Did I forget something?
I have log out and even rebooted my computer, before starting Safari again.
Stand keeps jumping back in the menu of Safari.

Uninstall SIMBL as follows.
Select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then enter the following text in the box that opens:
/Library
A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Application Support/SIMBL
InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

How to permanently get rid of Bing in Safari

I would like to permanently get rid of Bing in Safari. It keeps overriding Google. I do not like Bing.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Can't get rid of ads in Safari. Please advise something.

I have macbook late 2011 model and using Yosemite OS. I have installed 2 to 3 ad blocker extensions but still no matter what website i click or what page i click, it opens up new links and some of them says about virus and some don't. But the thing is its getting really hard to use this because of ads. Cant use or open any website without opening a ad, and then most of the time i have to quit safari in order to get rid of that ad.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Can't get rid of Ads in Safari or Chrome

I have a 13" late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display and I let my brother use it to try and mod his GTA V so he downloaded a whole bunch of programs and files and didn't bother to look at the options so now I have a bunch of ads whenever I use Safari or Google Chrome and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. For example when I went to type in my password to log into the apple communities, I was brought to another website. I deleted all the junk he downloaded and I've uninstalled Chrome multiple times. I am currently beta testing OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Any suggestions to remove the ads?

I called Apple and they found the solution. Open finder and in the top bar of the screen hit go. Go into the computer and click Macintosh HD and open the folder named Library. Find the folders LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. Go into both folders and delete anything that may be suspicious. Mine was com.vsearch.www or something like that. Empty the trash bin and restart your computer. That should fix the problem.

How to get rid of BING on Safari?

Hi, just got Microsoft BING on my Safari without asking for it.... and I cannot get rid of it...
Would someone help me please?
Even when I ask for Google or another one, it's Bing appearing....
Thank you.
Flo

You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there should be an item named "Genieo". Select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you couldn't complete Step 1, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

HT4623 How do I get rid of flashtalking on safari?

I seem to have flashtalking interfering with my internet use on safari. How do I get rid of it?

How is it interfering with web browsing? What are the symptoms that you're experiencing?
To reduce the ability for advertisers to track you (if that's what's causing problems), you can try any or all of the following:
1. In Settings > Safari, set "Do Not Track" to "ON". (NOTE: This only works if the advertisers actually obey the setting.)
2. In Settings > Safari, set "Block Cookies" to "From third parties and advertisers". Setting to "Never" will allow advertisers to track you easily using cookies. Setting to "Always" will make many websites stop working on the Internet (especially login accounts that use cookies).
3. Enable Private Browsing mode in Safari. Note that you'll want to disable and re-enable Private Browsing mode to start a new session every now and then (maybe once a day?) to prevent any possible tracking cookies from being stored for long periods of time. Since many websites use cookies for authentication, toggling Private Browsing mode will also force you to be logged out of some websites.
4. In Settings > Safari, tap "Clear Cookies and Data" to reset cookies, web databases and caches that have accumulated since you started using iOS devices (if you've always backed up and restored when switching to a new device). Again, this may log you out of web sites using cookies (or even web databases) for authentication, but it should clear any tracking mechanisms used by advertisers and start you out fresh again. (It's the equivalent of toggling Private Browsing Mode off-and-on, but for your default cookies, web database and cache storage.)
Hope that helps.

I can't get rid of the HT1222 (Safari Public Beta) Update

Every single time I look to see if any updates are available for my Mac, it always comes up with this Safari Public Beta Update. I have tried downloading it a couple times. Each time, it downloads, and installs something, but every time that I go back to software updates, it still comes up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
