Ghostery Removed but still blocking

Added Ghostery yesterday however it slowed my web performance tremendously. It takes minutes to open sites, such as Hulu or Fox News, if they open at all. As a result, this morning I uninstalled Ghostery per their website directions. It is clear that although I have removed the plug-in as they advised, it is still running on my computer. Any suggestions?

HT201304 How do you remove an app? In this case, it was viewed, purchased, free in this case, downloaded, then removed, but still appears in the purchased section, I do not want the younger kids to see it? There appears to be no remove or hide function?

How do you remove a previously downloaded app, that is now removed, but still appears under purchased?
I have multiple devices on the same account and do not want younger kids to see the app and its icon/description?

FF8.01 is blocking me opening some links in various websites that will open in IE. I have added the URL to pop up blocker and tried hitting Cntrl and clicking but still blocks from opening?

At URL:
http://www.directmail.com/directory/mail_preference/Default.aspx?ref=G
after filling out form on right and clicking submit, nothing happens- being blocked. Opens fine in IE??????
Have several other URL's where this also happens.

I now have Firefox 26 and I still have this problem. Even with the blocker off it still blocks the popups I want and displays the yellow bar. Very very annoying....
Is there any kind of way to trace why the blocker decided to block a page?

I updated to 6. In Tools, blocked cookies and now can never open Firefox. The allow cookies window is stuck. How do I get rid of the firefox browser and go back to 5. I did have malware on computer that was removed, but still ...not working

On Saturday, Sept. 3, I updated to Mozilla Firefox 6. I went into the Toolbar, I think to private browsing, but not sure now. I asked that all cookies be blocked. A window came up from my home page that said "Allow, Allow this session only, Deny Cookies." I said Deny and it told me 19 cookies were being blocked. I have never been able to get the window to leave the browser home page. In fact, I can not make any choice in that window. The window kind of shakes. I went for professional help and did have malware that I had not known was there that was removed. Technician worked 3 hours. It was called "PUM.Hijack.Start." The Mozilla browser is still stuck like that. I am on Internet Explorer, but I would like to have Firefox back again. What steps do I take next?

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

How can I re-install Lightroom,removed but still showing in Creative Cloud as being installed.

Well I think I screwed up. Three days ago I purchased the Photography Creative Cloud and downloaded Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. This evening I removed Lightroom through Windows un-install. It is still showing as being installed on the computer in the Creative Cloud window. I'm pretty sure I should not have un-installed it this way, but there it is. Is there anyway I can get it back on my computer? I am not ready for it yet but will need it in the future.
Thanks for any help provided,
Linda

Hi Linda,
I think you're OK. The Creative Cloud window only updates daily, and/or with every relaunch. The Creative Cloud application currently has no uninstall utility, so you need to use the Windows control panel to uninstall.
If you want to force an update to the Creative Cloud status, quit and relaunch the process. To quit, go to the gear icon in the upper right and choose quit at the bottom of the menu:
If Lightroom doesn't show up as 'Install' after relaunching, let me know and I can investigate more.
regards,
steve

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove the email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
What is being 'blocked' ? If you mean that your account is disabled then you've followed the instructions on the TS2446 page that you posted from for getting it enabled i.e. reset the password and logged out and back into your account on your iPad ? Or do you mean something by 'blocked' ?
If you are trying to download an app and you want to use a different account, then tap on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap 'sign out' on the popup, and you can log back in with a different account.

Schedule Tasks removed but still running

Morning all,
We are a college of 90+ Mac's but primally PC, we are using Apple Remote Desktop 3.4 (I'm aware that 3.5.1 is available) so I'm self training but have an issue as of yet I have been unable to resolve.
Like a few of you here I have set Schedule task in ARD then removed them but the tasks are still running each night, I have seen a few posts but no solution,
There is a discussion indicating that the tasks are stored in the 'com.apple.remotedesktop.plist' but I cannot confirm that as the file is not in readable text.
I did find a Tasks Server folder '/Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/Tasks Server/' but I'm unable to get to is from finder or the terminal as the permissions are stopping my access.
The tasks being set or a shutdown this was set to happen @ 7:30 PM but the college require the stations to shutdown later @ 10:00 pm and the stations are now shutting down in the middle of a class.
Can any one help
Thanks Simon

Hi,
Yap I turned off all the energy saver options that have been set in workgroup manager also I'm still getting history of the shutdowns done by ARD, but not able to turn off the ARD computer as it is the X Server.
I did find the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop" but I was unable to read it but I'll give the command above a go.
Thanks For your help
Simon

I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups

I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.

Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s

Apps removed but still showing up in Creative Cloud App. How do I reinstall them?

After installing several apps on my laptop, After Effects, which I use for my business, wouldn't function on my desktop. I didn't know that you had to turn off the creative cloud connection on one computer before going to the other. Since I needed to deliver my projects, I removed the apps on my laptop. Three of them didn't seem to have an uninstall button on them. It didn't show up for some reason for - After Effects, Acrobat XI Pro, and Illustrator. I tried to find all references to them and finally threw every reference to them I could find into the trash. I must have left something in my system still because in the Creative Cloud menu, it shows that I still have those apps on my laptop still and that they are up to date. However, as I said, I threw everything that had to do with those apps that I could find in the trash.
There doesn't seem to be any way to reload these three apps in the Creative Cloud app and since they are no longer in my Applications folder (I'm on a Mac) there is no way to uninstall or do anything else.
How can I clear out the piece of software that thinks these three apps are still installed so that I can reinstall fresh versions? Thanks.

Photos removed - but still says .89gb is used. Why?

My 16gb (13.75 useable) ipod was almost full so I started removing many files, photos and unneeded apps. But the bar shows I have almost 1gb (.89) of photos. I have removed almost all my photos and this number stays constant. How do I fix this?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have unblocked my pop ups but still blocked so I can't play bridge on line

I need pop ups to get a table, but they are blocked. I have been through the procedure to unblock, but it doesn't help.

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):

My macbook won't shut down. Had MacDefender and followed all instructions for removal but still get told can't shut down cause their processes are running. Any suggestions?

I followed all directions and quit all processes, emptied trash etc. When I try to shut down I get pop-ups telling me apps are running even though I quit them. I can't install upgrades because I can't shut down. Doing a hard reboot doesn't help at all. Any suggestions?

If any of the apps won't quit on you in future, try ti kill them in Terminal:
killall Finder
then hit enter
If you don't know the official app name (how OS SX sees it), go to COMMAND_OPTION_ESCAPE and see the official name in the running app list.
The power button method above works 100%, but will bypass saving of session states for all services, so your OS X could be unstable after reboot and won't remember some settings you had prior to shuting down. Use it only as a last resort.

My Avast antivirus is telling me it blocks "JS:Iframe-DPX[Trj] Infection" each time I go to use Mozilla I have removed and reload Mozilla but still get the mess

My Avast antivirus is telling me it blocks "JS:Iframe-DPX[Trj] Infection" each time I go to use Mozilla. I have removed and reload Mozilla but still get the message. Can anyone tell me how to remove this virus that apparently has attached itself to Mozilla. Thanks Bill

Hi jscher2000,
No avast does not give any hint of where it is coming from all it does is try to get me to upgrade which of course costs money.
I went into avast and found a "browser cleaner" I ran that and it seems to have solved the problem, at least when I got out of mozilla and back into it no warning message came up so hopefully problem solved. Thanks for your advice.

Sophos uninstaller says "Sophos Anti-virus is not installed" but sophos still blocks websites.

Hi, I downloaded the free (trial?) version and didn't like it blocking websites. I dragged the app to the trash and, of course, it didn't uninstall. Looked it up and got a (I think there are more than one) remove tool for sophos but it says it can't find sophos on my MAC. Yet, when browsing the internet, sophos still blocks websites. Any suggestions? I'm a little frustrated. Thanks in advance, Willie

Hi Willie,
Sorry you're having trouble. If you uninstall by dragging the app to the trash instead of using the remove sophos tool, this sort of thing unfortunately tends to happen.
One thing I wanted to mention is that if you don't want Sophos to block websites, you can actually disable the web filtering feature. All you have to do is click the sheild icon > preferences > web protection and toggle the switch to 'off.'
Another question, I was just curious if you were having trouble with Sophos blocking sites that you thought were safe? We should only block you from accessing malicious websites, so if we were interferring with accessing "regular" sites, you can let us know which sites were incorrectly blocked, and we'll take another look at it.
All that said, if you just want to remove Sophos there's a couple things you can do.
1. Restart your mac, reinstall Sophos, and then once it's working properly, use the 'Remove Sophos Antivirus' app to remove it
2. Manually remove Sophos
- Open Activity Monitor and stop any processes with "Sophos" in the name
- Open Finder, and remove everything in the following list:
/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus
/Library/LaunchDaemos/com.sophos.*
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.sophos.*
/Library/Preferences/com.sophos.*
/Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus.log
/Applications/Sophos Anti-Virus.app
/Applications/Sophos Remove.app
/var/db/receipts/com.sophos.*
Note: You'll need administrative rights to remove most of those files. Then reboot, to ensure everything is cleared from memory too. Then run through the list again, to ensure you got everything.
Warning: Be cautious when deleting things in some of those directories. Not everything in there is related to our software - our files contain the name "Sophos".
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any trouble!
