Google Not Working/Popups!?!

Hi I am running the most up to date version of Snow Leopard and Safari. I haven't been to any abnormal websites or anything, but for some reason sometimes when I'm on legit websites (even Apple) I will click a link and another window will pop up that fills my whole page, it never loads, but it's weird. I never have had that issue. I also have random websites load when I do a Google search (this happens a lot) when I'm trying to pull up legit websites. Like I said it doesn't happen all the time, but it still happens frequently. I have looked at the MacDefender stuff under Acitivity Monitor and haven't found anything.
Does anyone know what is going on? I don't know if I should get something to run and find it or what.
Thanks,

I have the OSX/RSPlug-A trojan, but it's located in a backup on my time capsule. And I can't delete it because it says that you cannot delete items on there. So how do you go about getting rid of it?
It can't hurt anything as long as it stays where it is, but one has to wonder how it could be there and not on the hard drive that it's backing up.
On the off-chance you have to restore from time capsule, you just need to remember to remove it before using your browser.
That being said, it certainly sounds like that is what has been causing the problems you originally reported.  Are you positive it isn't on your hard drive, as well, or did you just forget to mention that you found and removed it?

  • Google+ Not Working Properly. Refreshing Google+ doesn't work

    I have updated from Firefox 28 to Firefox 29 and Google+ is not working. I have uninstalled, cleared cache, reset the browser, started in safe mode and it still hasn't worked.
    Firefox didn't show Google+ on all the computers I tried except a Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP.
    Not loading images from Google+ is common. When you scroll down it still says loading and Hangouts has a 50/50 chance of actually showing up.

    Hello Daniel120201,
    Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. I've tried Google+ on a couple different machines with 29, including a Windows 7 machine and it seems to work without an issue.
    Since it says loading could it be your wireless connection? Do you have another connection to the internet that you use to troubleshoot the issue.

  • Google Not Working on One Computer

    As of today, I have had some issues regarding Google with the use of Safari. For starters, I have Google selected for my search engine. Yesterday, I was performing a search on Google and get this:
    Today, the URL: www.google.com will not load. I can select another search engine (Yahoo! and Bing) and those work fine within Safari, just not Google.
    In comparation, I can load Google and search Google Image via Safari on my iPhone with no issues.
    What do you think could be the problem?
    I have other computers on the network and they work fine. I also tried Firefox.
    Google India and Denmark work, but not UK.

    1 repair your permissions in UTILITY disk util.
    2 try google.com using firefox if it works then it's safari bugging maybe a third app or plug-in conflicting but if it does not work then it's more general.
    3 try google.com on another user (so you need to create a test user profile and use safari-google.com)
    4 it can be permissions issues,
    corrupted preferences, (so you need to delete the: com.apple.safari.plist but before deleting drag and drop in the desktop and restart your mac then try safari again that should do it)
    user profile issue.

  • Google not working

    I ran into a curious problem trying to use Google search. Found a solution. But not certain what caused the problem.
    When I tried to refine a search (modify text in their search text box) the browser would not refresh on hitting return or their search button. I had to enter the updated search in the Firefox search control (at top right).
    The problem did not occur when using IE 8 or Google Chrome. And I did not have the submit problems with other web sites.
    I tried re-installing Firefox while maintaining bookmarks, passwords, history, but that did not fix the problem.
    However when I completely uninstalled Firefox and then performed a clean installed the Google search page worked as expected.
    It is possible that I had some malware, specifically the Flash exploit, as Firefox is my primary browser. I am not certain and only guessing Figure I should pass on my experience in case others run into the same problem.
    My solution was:
    0. Make certain have all login/passwords for websites.
    1. Export my bookmarks to the JSON file.
    2. Uninstall Firefox with "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checked.
    3. Re-install Firefox using fresh download.
    4. Import bookmarks
    5. Restore Add-ons.
    6. Download Flash 10.1 and install (NOTE: Checked for but no additional add-on following this install)
    Then Google search pages worked as expected.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

    Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (Java Platform: Download JRE)
    If you didn't delete the Firefox program folder then chances that it was malware are less. Most malware would survive deleting only the profile folder and in such cases a new profile could have helped as well.

  • TS1398 Google not working properly

    Has anyone experienced problems with Google on the iPad lately?  It's not only slow when I choose it as my browser, but many times pages won't open.  I have to use yahoo or bing, which are faster and don't lose connection.  Thoughts?  It's happening often.  And sometimes it's worse when I use the search instead of just typing in the exact URL.

  • Link to popup window not working

    I have a calendar page in which I'm setting up a column link to another page within the app.
    However, I have some syntax error in the javascript popup statement. I have tried many things, but cannot find what the problem is.
    This works (no popup):
    f?p=&FLOW_ID.:43:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P43_ACT_ID:#ACT_ID#
    This does not work (popup):
    (I left off the initial < so the text would not be converted to html)
    a href ="javascript:popUp2('f?p=&FLOW_ID.:43:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P43_ACT_ID:#ACT_ID#',500,400)" >#ACT_DESC#</a>
    Does anyone see what's wrong with this syntax?
    When I run it (click on the link), I receive this error msg:
    "Bad Request The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand."
    Thanks!
    -Reid
    Edited by: reidster on Aug 8, 2009 12:25 AM

    Hi Reid,
    href="javascript:..." tells the browser to go to the address bar (href) and type in "javascript:....". This won't work!
    Change your link to:
    a href="#" onclick="javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:43:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P43_ACT_ID:#ACT_ID#',500,400)"href="#" tells the browser not to do anything with the address bar and we are relying on the onclick event itself to call the popup
    Also note that you should use &APP_ID. not &FLOW_ID.

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Google Chrome not populating popups working correctly with pop ups.

    If incorrect forum, just alert and move.  I am having an issue with hosted Microsoft Dynamics 2013 and Google Chrome latest release, 31.   This just started with the hosted version of Dynamics CRM 2013, Chrome had been working correctly with
    our earlier version of CRM.
    When users on latest version of Chrome, 31, login to Dynamics CRM 2013, everything looks fine.  Issue is specifically, for sales folks, when they open a client record, and where the client info is located, there is a standard date and time and tiny
    little calendar you can pull up if you click on it.  When the user clicks on the tiny little calendar, they DO get a pop up, but the pop up is blank.  And, there is no error message at all.  Nothing freezes, nothing bad happens at all, except
    for the salesperson, who live and die by their calendars and ability to schedule appointments and see exiting appointments.
    This is not some in house coding issue.  It is a generic CRM phone call record that has this issue. 
    Again, no errors, nothing crashes, but Dynamics CRM 2013 is useless to Google Chrome users in house because of this. Which, in a support position, is terrible.  Users who got an upgrade, have their favorite interface rendered useless.  And these
    are sales folks.  And, I did all settings according to what I was able to find for CRM 2010 and Chrome, for when pop ups do not work, and all settings were already correct for pop ups, website is in trusted sites, etc, which is what I expected, since
    everything worked on CRM 2010.
    Any clues or ideas? Thank You.
    Rick

    We don't know. Better to ask over here.

    Hi,
    I am to trying to open pop windows in Flash through

    Anyone got a clue what’s happening? I was wondering
    whether there was problem with settings on my computer? Also, I do
    not want to embed JavaScript code in the HTML file.
    Many thanks,
    Essaeyu

    What I want to achieve is something very basic, done n times
    on the web, but its strange that its not working on my machine. I
    am getting popups through getURL function and on HTML links but not
    from swf/javascript links. This includes linking both to the
    webpages on the internet e.g. google and pages on my machine. I
    have tried three different ways of achieving this and am attaching
    thecode. Can someone look at the files please and see what’s
    wrong/spot something I overlooked? I will be extremely grateful.
    Here is the code in the fla's (and html in one case). No
    facility to attach files else i would have done so. Though the
    flas/swf/html files can be downloaded from:

  • Adobe Muse site not working in Google Chrome

    Hi Guys, my adobe muse website www.focaldesigns.ie is not working in Google Chrome, i was advised to publish it again which I tried twice with no joy. Any help on how i can get the site back working in Chrome and on an iPad would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a mil, Claire

    Hi Gaurav, thank you for taking the time to check this out for me. I appreciate it.
    I've figured out If you open it in Chrome on a larger that 15" screen the site will open yet for some reason when I open it in Chrome it recognizes it as tablet and http://focaldesigns.ie/tablet/index.html appears in the tab bar -
    I've tried re publishing the site in Muse and updated Chrome updates yet it is still not opening on a 15inch mac in Google Chrome, it is opening in other internet browsers perfectly. Any ideas?
    Look forward to hearing form you.
    Thanks Again.

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • Safari 8 hover does not work over google map location pins

    OS X 10.10.1,   Safari 8,  Java 8-25
    I have always had little odd things not work when using safari on a large % of websites I visit,  the latest issues are
    no response when hovering over google map location pins, travel site calendars not opening or responding to mouse, drag and drop
    show the item being dragged several inches away from the actual pointer, some links don't respond, missing items
    or odd layout with print or pop ups going off the screen on some website pages, zooming in and out does not help. I have none
    of these issues when using Firefox or Chrome. Been using Safari for 4 years now.

    Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.

    Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
    Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
    The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
    Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
    Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
    This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:

  • Auto sizing popup feature not working in Firefox

    I have started using Firefox as my default browser
    instead of IE. I just discovered that the popup windows, which I've
    linked from an image map on one particular document do not work. In
    the following doc, the image has about 35 links to popup windows,
    none of which work in Firefox. They do work in IE.
    http://www.stoneedge.com/help/Main_Menu_5.8_Beta.htm
    Is this a known issue? I couldn't find reference to it on the
    forum, so then I wonder if its a matter of settings. I turned of
    Firefox's popup blocker, so that's not it. I do prefer to use the
    popup, but if there's no fix, the "Display in Frame" option DOES
    work in Firefox, so I'll just have to use that instead.
    Any information, fixes, suggestions are much appreciated!
