Ghost lady: picture pops up and then disappear

Hi all,
A friend's computer is infected with the picture (full screen) of a "ghost" woman. That picture pops up, stay for 2 seconds, and then disappear. Quite spooky when you're working on a document. I did an online scan with Kaspersky, but it didn't find it. If anyone knows what it could be. Thanks.

Hi
I am not 100% sure but I think that this has something to do with Internet explorer. It is possible that some dangerous page is inscribed as start page and every time occur this pop up window.
If you remove it from Internet explorer options, that will probably not help at all because there are probably entries in registry. I recommend you to scan the HDD and search for malware. Check also if you can find any application for rootkits scanning.
Delete also all temporary Internet files. Do you use some alternative browser, like Firefox?

Try updating the printer driver.

Pictures in iPhoto 6 library flash and then disappear but leave a box

OSX 10.5.8 iPhoto 6
pictures in library flash and then disappear but leave an empty box

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?

I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions. What gives and how can it be fixed. I have a time limit.
Thanks for your solution.

Mha007:
Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
Thanks for offering suggestions though.
Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
Thanks for any help.

Help!! My iphone shows up for five seconds on Itunes and then disappears!!

My iphone shows up in itunes for about 10 seconds. Before I can do anything, it disappears. I upgraded to the new software today. I already tried a soft reset by pressing the top key and the home key.
I am so frustrated!!!!!!!!! Please Help!!!!

bigpoodle2333,
If you view this topic in threaded view, it shows that Damon was responding to a specific post in the thread. To enable this setting click on the "My Settings" button in the right hand column.
As I understand it your iPhone shows up for a few seconds and then disappears in iTunes, is that correct?
Has it ever synced successfully in the past?
Is your iPhone connected directly to one of the USB ports on the motherboard of your computer? For example, not through a USB hub, with many Windows-based PCs the front USB ports are actually a USB Hub.
Do you have any pictures in the camera roll, and if so, do you have any other hardware for taking pictures connected such as a webcam, memory card reader, or all-in-one printer that includes a memory card reader?
Thank you,
Nathan C.

I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears.

I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Setup -Printing shows in Queue and then disappears. Not Printing

I just received the Officejet Pro 8600 as a gift and loaded the set up software and it on my wireless network. When I try to print an email or a coupon, the command goes to the printer and shows in the queue. Then after several seconds, the printing queue (job) disappears without printing the document. Does this command go through the HP ePrint function or the Network Officejet Pro 8600? It shows the HP ePrint as being on USB.
I've run all of the diagnostics, downloaded all of the new software, firmware and updates. I've spend many hours trying to get the printer to print.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
This question was solved.

Hi @bksechols
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when you send a print job to your Officejet 8600 printer that it goes to the print queue and then disappears without the print job printing.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
What operating system are you using?
Are all print jobs failing? If yes and you are using a Windows operating system, please Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues.
When you send a print job are emailing the printer’s ePrint email address? If so please review The HP ePrint Print Job Did Not Print If you are sending the print job by using the print command, please review the Print Jobs from Your HP Printer are Stuck in the Print Queue document.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

Why do i get a run time error box pop up and then close itunes when I search in the iTunes store?

Wnen i search in the itunes store, a ren time error pops up and then closes my itunes. why is it doing this? I have to go thru power search to get around the problem and is not as convenient. thanks, Jamboy72

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

HT1338 My special characters screen for pages is running in the background no matter what I do. It randomly pops up and then goes away. I can't close it even though I have closed pages and restarted my computer. How can I stop this.

My special characters screen for pages is running in the background no matter what I do. It randomly pops up and then goes away. I can't close it even though I have closed pages and restarted my computer. How can I stop this.

Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

I have version 10.0 and this week the vertical lines in tables stopped showing up, they appear and then disappear, does not happen in any other browser.

When I have a table with columns, the vertical lines show up and then disappear. The right side and bottom lines show up and the top and left side lines are very light with no vertical lines showing to separate the columns.
This just happened this week. It does not matter what size I make the screen, once they disappear, they do not show back up. IE and Google Chrome have no problem with the lines showing up.

Does it help if you resize that window one or more pixels?
