Has anyone got any info on how to remove opensoftware updater? it has locked up my safari screen

I accidently clicked on something when trying to play a game. It stuck this box on my safari screen that says Opensoftwareupdater.com and tells me to click ok to update my software, which I suspect will download a virus. I am not able to get rid of it. Anyone know anything about it? The apple support rep has never seen it and sent me here.
Thanks

Force quit Safari.
Press Command + Option + Esc
If that doesn't help, doubtful it's a virus but it could be malware.

Anyone here knows as much as you do and has access to the same info as you. Check Apple's India website for announcements.

Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of this been tried?
It is possible that dropping the device has caused the issue.... regardless, it's unlikely Apple would do a warranty exchange since there is obvious user damage.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, take it to an Apple store for evaluation... if determined to be a hardware issue and you ask nicely, they may be able to assist you, but they may also only provide the option of an Out of Warranty replacement.

Has anyone found any info on stopping Photoshop & DreamWeaver CC from crashing?

Aodobe thinks the issue is that my DELL 620 i5 with 6GB RAM 2 TB drive 500GB scratch disk and Windows 7 64bit is the problem. However, since the system is just over a yr old I do not want toreplace it just to make the CC products run.So does anyone have any input or advice to keep Ps and Dw from crashing?
Note the CS6 editions ar3e working fine.
Is it possible to go back to the CS6 editions if youve created PSDs in CC? Is there support for Camera Raw 8.1 in CS6?
HTML, CSS and DWT files created in DreamWeaver CC. Will these files open and work correctly in DreamWeaver CS6?
In order to use PS CC and Dw CC it sounds like I need to get a Windows 8 PC and laptop because CC will not run without problems on either my PC or laptop. I'm just a poor photograpgh so do not have the funds to replace hardware that's only a little over a year old. Is anyone else finding the CC product line "crashy"?

I seem to have found the solution to Photoshop crashing (for me, at least). This answer fixed the problem with CC crashing on open:

VLC will work as a plugin for Firefox only. I have not tried such a setup, so I don't know if it actually works.

Has anyone got any advice on this problem?

I'm just getting to grips with Java and I'm having trouble getting some code to work. I want to find out why I'm getting error messages with the following code:
public class CraftItem {
private String itemCode;
private double price;
public CraftItem(String iCode, double iPrice) {
itemCode = iCode;
price = iPrice;
public void prCraftItem(){
System.out.println("Item " + itemCode);
I'm getting:
"CraftItem.java": Error #: 206 : malformed expression at line 10, column 5 with the first bold text
"CraftItem.java": Error #: 204 : illegal start of expression at line 12, column 3 with the second bold text
I'm using a Test.java to test the program:
public class Test {
public Test() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CraftItem nails = new CraftItem("123456",1.5);
nails.prCraftItem();
It's probably something childishly simple to Java experts but any advice for me as to where I'm going wrong with this would be much appreciated!
Thanks - Nic

public CraftItem(String iCode, double iPrice)
public void prCraftItem(){}
}Nested method?

It is good to hear that is getting Apple feedback from other sides regarding that network problem. I always thought that this just matters for bigger studios with multiple rooms and network installations and therefore not that a high priority for Apple. It never occurred to me that in a networked school environment that is a big issue and last time I checked Apple pretended to to care about the educational market.
If you really need the network setup to work with Logic and can't wait for Apple to fix it, try to mount the network volumes via the smb protocol instead of the afp protocol. I used it for a while under Logic 7 and it worked, haven't tried it under L8. However keep in mind that are some drawbacks:
Besides minor user interface limitations (color, icons, etc), the main problem is some boneheaded setup in Logic. Get that:
Logic saves the path to any related media file, which is ok, but it saves also the network protocol it uses! If you logged on to a network volume over smb and use an audio file, Logic will save the complete path, something like "smb://MediaVolume/audio/MyGroove.aif". Netx time you mount the MediaVolume drive via afp and open your Logic Project, it won't find that file, or automount that volume again as an smb volume. So now you have the same network volume mounted twice, via afp and smb.
Now you can see why I backed away from that solution.

Ok so I can't connect to my apps store, i signed out a few days ago and now it's not letting me sign back in? I've tried several things already, has anyone got any ideas??

Help????

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Hey guys, my iphone screen locks and sometimes it even prompts to be turned off. It's as if the buttons are stuck, but it doesn't feel like they are. Anyone got any clues on how to fix it?

Hey guys, i am having a little problem with my iphone 5 running on ios 7.1.1. My screen keeps locking and unlocking by itself and sometimes even prompts to power off. It makes it look like the power button is stuck but its not, this started after the phone hitting the floor some days ago. Kindly help me resolve this problem

Probably a hardware problem due to the fall. To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:

I have downloaded what's app but icon is not on home screen and i have to search every time i want to use it ..anyone got any ideas pls

I have downloaded what's app but the icon is not on my iphone i have to search for the app everytime i want to use it has anyone got any ideas please???

This makes no sense... if it's not on the phone, it's not on the phone. A search of the device would never find it.
Is the issue possible that the app is simply on another home screen or in a folder? Have you possibly filled the 11 page max of home screens?
