Hi! I have had my macbookpro for less than two weeks today. About an hour ago I opened up Safari only to have a pop up that says "Congratulations you are at winner.." etc. I have tried force quitting and restarting my computer but to no avail. Help!

Hello!
I have had my Macbook Pro for less than 2 weeks. About an hour ago I turned it on and clicked on Safari. A pop up appeared...the usual "Congratulations! You are the Winner of.." etc etc. I have not downloaded anything from an unreliable source. I have quite honestly turned on the computer less than 10 times since getting it. The pop up prevents me from browsing the internet.
Please help! I did not think I would run into problems with the laptop so soon.
Thank you.
J.

The Lion OS has a new feature that returns you to a "previous state" the next time an application is opened.
You can stop this behavior by holding down the option key when quiting an app or hold down the shift key when you launch an app.

There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

I fainted and fell while holding my iPad and the screen cracked; it still works fine. It's just cracked. I have had this iPad for less than a year so it is still covered under warranties. Does this apply? If not how much to fix the screen?

I just installed Creative Cloud and I have had a blue rotating circle for the last 40 minutes in the screen. Have tried force quit and restarting and problem persists.

I just downloaded Creative Cloud for Photographers and nothing seems to be starting. I cannot download photoshop or lightroom because there is a blue circle in the creative cloud window

I have similar problems. I install cc-app, start it and get an empty cc screen with a blue timer in the middle of the screen that gives me the impression it tries to connect to something.
I have been browsing this forum for days and have tried 'everything' I could find:
- turned off firewall
- connected directly to the internet without a router
- opened ports
- uninstalled cc multiple times
- uninstalled all Adobe software (used to run CS6)
- used cc-cleaner
- manually deleted all adobe related directories
- removed the OOBE directory multiple times
- gave cc administrator permissions
I'm using windows 7.
Another thing I noticed: when cc is running in the background and I play a computer game, cc takes me back to windows. This only stops when I turn off cc.

I have just bought an imac and I am having problem with my camera. The image is kind of distorted and coloured lines everywhere. I have updated softwares and applications and restarted the computer but it didn't help. What to do?

what to do?

shauney,
From your description of the problem, it sounds like you have a hardware/camera defect. My recommendation is to return your imac to where-ever you bought it, and have them deal with, or replace your computer with one that functions as it is supposed to. You should not have to suffer with this situation on a new computer, although it does sometimes happen.

I have an iMac running Lion and W7 with boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts but that's it..

I have a 5 month old iMac running Lion and W7 with the latest version of boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts, there's a small amount of drive activity and that's it.

Hi Jane, your info may still be there, look in the Users folder at root of the drive, how many users are there there?
It sounds like this may have happened...

Hey sunnyday7!
Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
Additional Information
OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

TS1398 I have had my iPad 2 less than a month. (bought during black friday 2012)..... I updated to IOS 6 probably two weeks ago, the WiFi connection was working just fine until tonight... flat out quit working... says it's connected... but it's not. HELP!

I have an iPad 2 for less than a month, I updated the IOS to 6 about two weeks ago... It was great, up until tonight. My WiFi flat out won't work... and all the other laptops, iphones in the house are working fine.
Would LOVE to have it fixed.
Not very happy with Apple and this 'mishap'...
it does NOT have the cellular wifi, or whatever it's called. it's not capable of connecting to a carrier... just through regular wifi.

1. Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again.
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

OS X Yosemite made my Mac Book Pro really slow. Please Help. I've had this Mac for less than 6 months and worked fantastic until now.

I've had this Mac for less than 6 months and worked fantastic until now. I'm not 100% familiar with Mac so any help would be helpful. Thanks!

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

My Black Macbook froze using Safari. I forced quit and restarted. Before the chimes there was a single buzz, from below the keyboard. What's that all about?

Might be RAM related if the above tip describes what happened.
If not, and your data is not backed up, and it won't startup, read this tip:

Automatic force quit and restart locked application after time delay?

Does anyone know of a shareware/freeware application that will watch for locked/unresponsive applications and force quit and restart that application after a certain time delay?
Thanks in advance.
