Help required with pop up window that won't go away

I need to re-configure my network settings, but when I access 'network' in 'system preferences' a pop up window appears that states 'Your network setting have been changed by another application'. When I click 'OK', the window just re-appears and I cannot therefore access the network window. Help!

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

  • Network Preferences pop-up window that won't go away

    When I click on System Preferences and then Network, I get an error message box that reads: "Your network settings have been changed by another application." When I click "OK" it keeps reappearing, and I cannot click on anything in Network Preferences and to exit I must force quit. Short of reinstalling OSX, is there a way to get rid of this message and have the ability to adjust my network preferences? I asked this question to a very harried employee at a genius bar at an Apple store a few months ago, and they said I would have to backup my computer and then do an erase and install...something that I'm not confident to do and wish to make sure that it is necessary before doing.
    Thanks, Linda

    Go to preferences -> Security, and check the box that says "require a password to unlock each system preferences pane". This should prevent whatever is changing your settings from doing that.

  • TS3274 I have a pop up notification that won't go away after I hit OK

    My son used my Ipad with the app "Find my iPhone" to find his iTouch.  We have done this many times with both devices only this time when I open my iPad the notification is there stating "Iphone has been found" hit "OK".  I hit OK and the notification doesn't go away, therefore not allowing me to get onto the iPad. I hit is a thousand times.  I tried turning it off, charging the battery - it is still there.  Is there a way to reset the iPad?  Thanks. 

    Definitely try Grumpy's solutions first.  They're quick and easy.
    If they don't help, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Help Deleting a OD Group Email That Won't Go Away

    I seem to have a ghost and I could use help finding it...
    There was a Open Directory Group that at some point an admin checked to enable the "Mailing list" for this group within Workgroup Manager (might have been back in 10.4). This group has since been deleted from OD yet the email group persists....somewhere. Do you know where? I sure don't.
    Sometime after this group was deleted it was recreated but as a Mailman mailing list that effectively had the exact same name and that is when we started to notice that messages sent to "[email protected]" were not going to everyone included in the Mailman mailing list. Further investigation proved that the Mailman list was working 100% and that the messages simply never were received by Mailman. Yet, the messages were getting delivered to some users on the list. I realized after a month of this that it was being delivered to the users who were included in the old OD group. We have since deleted this Mailman mailing list and it is truly gone but the ghost list persists.
    I've searched everywhere I can think of to track down this mysterious mailing list so I can purge it completely.
    Besides just poking around the file system on both the mail server and the OD server I tried searching the directory using dscl but found nothing.
    /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 > search . mail collections
    We have a work in progress of moving accounts over to a new Kerio Mail Server but note that the problem pre-dates the introduction of this server into our network environment.
    Here's a little bit about the servers and network:
    - Master, Xserve intel, Server OS 10.5.8, DHCP, DNS, AFP shares, a few home directories
    - Apple Mail Server, Mac mini, Server OS 10.5.8, stock server install w/ cyrus, Mailman, postfix, etc.
    - Additional mail server - Kerio Mail Server 6.7, Xserve intel, server OS 10.6.2, just Kerio
    Here's some example log entries that tells me the message is going through our current primary mail server and not some other server on our network:

    If you think you have an idea what's going one and need more info just let me know.

    Hi
    If I've understood correctly deleting users and/or groups from WorkGroup Manager does not delete associated Mailboxes. You could try:
    http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/46/62/
    Most of us here over the years have favoured SirAdmin (rather than cyrusadmin) which works with 10.3, 10.5 and 10.5.

  • Pop up message that won't go away

    After downloading an automatic update for Microsoft Office for Mac, I lost all internet access. After 1.5 hrs with Comcast. Linxsys (my router), Microsoft, India and points closer to home, everyone said--not their fault or maybe it was the router, so...I disconnected the router (only 1 computer in the house), and connected the modem directly into the iMac. (This is between the basement (modem) and 1st floor office (computer).
    I seem to have a working Ethernet...I closed the AirPort, no bluetooth except the wireless mouse and keyboard. I keep getting an error box on my screen: "Internet Connect-Could not open the communication device." I click OK and it goes away--and..then it reappears when I click on an internet link. I definitely HAVE internet access, but the error message box keeps coming back, like Freddy.
    Please help me make it go away.

    Have you tried force quitting the Finder?
    Go to Apple menu, select Force Quit..., Click Finder, press Relaunch button
    That should clear it...

  • Need help big time with pop-up window!

    This is probably an easy answer, I'm not a programmer or a back end guy whatsoever, I'm a graphic designer trying to make his way through a project for a client.
    I'm working up a Flash template, and I need to make a simple pop up window that will view a more detailed version of an image.  The template has a pop up window system where you add your photo to a certain frame of a movie clip.  The problem is, the pop ups have scroll bars built in, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them, so I duplicated one of the movie clips that looked like it housed the framework of the pop up and deleted the scroll bar (I didn't delete any of the scroll bar code because I had no idea what I was doing).  It actually kind of worked, but the pop up window is a bit too wide and doesn't look right.
    You can view my hack job here...
    http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
    Stay on the "Print" page and click the first "01" button and an ad for Ford will come up.  Click the "Detailed View" button in the description to see the pop up window.
    My question is, there MUST be an easier way to make a pop up window than the workaround I'm using with the template.  What I'm trying to do is have a pop up for each sample of the work (all images would be the same size) for the first four buttons, and then for the "Online Banners" page, have the pop up open up to the dimensions of the particular banner ad and play the swf.  The pop ups shouldn't have scroll bars, only a title and the button to close the window.
    To view the template files, you can download them at:
    http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.fla
    The "descripton" movie clips have the descriptions and the "Detailed View" links in the frames, and the movie clips I not so gracefully butchered to get the pop up to work were TM_page_content_scroll (where you're supposed to put an image in a certain frame and then put the # of that frame in the Actionscript of the "Detailed View" button), and the TM_main_cont_page2 and TM_pop_up_main3, which were the ones I duplicated.
    If ANYONE can offer even the slightest bit of help, I gratefully appreciate it.  I've been working on this thing for like 15 hours a day and I can't even think straight at this point, thanks!

    I admit to not having read everything you wrote... there's just too much of it. But...
    Hashtable (and HashMap, which you should really be using unless you have some external constraint requiring the use of Hashtable) map each key to a single value object.
    That is, you can map from the key string "4996" to one single other object. And then you can also map from a different key to a different object.
    In you put() method, you add a mapping from "4996" to "good", and then you replace that mapping with one from "4996" to "home". There is only ever one value associated with a given key.
    To map multiple values to a single key, you need the value object to be a collection of some kind (or an array). So, you could map your string "4996" to a List, and that list could contain the strings "good", "home", etc.

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

    OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
    Below I have two choices:
    _Open with (choose)
    _Save File
    So I go to choose and pick an application.
    So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
    So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
    So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
    So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

    see also these pages and threads about Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB in the user agent).

  • Need help with pop up window!

    I'm working on an online graphic design portfolio and one of the pages features online animated Flash banners.  The site can be viewed here...
    http://truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/main8_v7.html
    I created a pop up window that displays a swf of the banner by putting this code on the View Banner link of each example of work...
    on (release) {
    var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/banners/336x280DuvalCX9.html','win','height= 296,width=352,left=112,top=330,toolbar=no,resizable=no,location=no,scrollbars=no ');";getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
    Two problems though.  First is in Firefox the location bar with the url to the swf is visible, even though I set location=no as a variable in the code (it works ok in Safari).  The window is also resizable in Firefox and Safari even though the variable is set to resizable=no.  How can I fix this?
    Second problem, even though I painstakingly set the left and top variables by trial and error to get the pop up window to open exactly in the center of the "stage" area of the site, when I post it and view it in a browser, the window pops up lower.  When I'm in the fla of the site and I preview it in a browser, it's fine, but for some reason when I post the files online and then open it from http://truetilldeathhq.com/Skiz/main8_v7.html, the pop ups come in lower.  Any fixes or advice on this?
    Thanks for your help!

    Forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm new to Flash and any kind of scripting and I didn't quite follow that page you directed me to.  Right now I'm working up a Flash template and the action on the link for the banner pages looks like this:
    on(rollOver) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
    on(rollOut, releaseOutside) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
    on (release) {
    _root.popup_pressed=1;
    _root.scrHEIGHT=240
    _root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.TM_title = "Work 1 read more";
    _root.READ = 1;
    _root.scroller.gotoAndPlay("s1");
    How can I work up the on (release) so I'll get a simple pop up window, say 728x90, no scrollbars or resizing, that will open somewhere in the middle of the site?  If I wanted a title to the pop up window, how would I do that?
    Again, thanks so much for your time and excuse my newbieness.

  • Having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper

    I've been having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper and similar "services." Tried to download "MPlayerX" a week ago and it all started then. I thought I deleted the file but I'm still having trouble. I've been digging for solutions on here, but nothing I've found on here has worked yet--the VSearch stuff (I think) isn't on my hard drive. Any advice?

    You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.venus.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/venus
    /System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    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.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
    *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.

  • Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
    I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • Anyone having problems with pop up windows?

    Very recently (roughly just after performing the most recent Security Update) I have had trouble with pop up windows in Safari. Haven't had the problem before and the strange part is that my setting to block pop up windows keeps becoming unchecked in the Safari menu. My workaround has been to refresh the page, which removes the pop up, and then re-check the block pop up window option. Next time I open up Safari, I get the pop up again and my setting is unchecked.
    Anybody else have this experience. Any malicious software out there that might be causing this? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Oddities in Safari happen, not from viruses etc, but from some of the complexities of the program itself. In this case, a corrupted preference file may be causing the problem.
    In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
    Restart Safari. Select the pop-up block. Quit/Restart Safari.
    If the pop-up selection held, you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
    Otherwise, move the file back to its original location.
    Post back
