Hi,
I like using Firefox more than I do IE, but I've been using IE lately because of all the pop-up pages I'm getting. Do you have any idea how I can stop these pop-up tabs from happening?
Thanks

    Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name  with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder before installing the new copy?  If not then do so and delete the new application also.

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • You have any idea how to fix an accelerometer in iphone 4 void of warranty?

    do you have an idea how to fix the accelerometer in an iphone 4? (the warranty is void)

    Check your local CraigsList. There are often many people claiming they will repair iPhones at lower prices than Apple will charge. But you get what you pay for; you're better off going to Apple and getting it repaired by them, even though you're out of AppleCare and will have to pay for it.
    Did you jailbreak your iPhone? If that's what has disabled your accelerometer, you might be able to "repair" it yourself. Do a Google search on "iphone 4 accelerometer repair" for videos and instructions.

  • All my photos have another photo overlying the original photo any ideas how i can fix the problem?

    unexpectedly all my photos are covered up by another photo(the same one).When I click on the photo the one underneath is revealed. How did this happen and how can i fix the problem?

    Launch iPhoto with the Command + Option keys held down and run the option to rebuild the thumbnail files.  With iPhoto 8 (09) it would be the two options circled in red in this screenshot:
    It could take more than one attempt to get them all.

  • Do you have any idea, why I can see only 15 episodes of my 59 published podcasts?

    I need your help...
    I`ve already published 59 podcasts (TomsTalkTime - DER Erfolgspodcast), but my audience can only see the last 15 episodes published in iTunes. Why is that? Can anyone help me?
    Thank you so much for your help.
    Best

    For reference, your feed is at http://erfolg.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
    The 15 episodes which appear in the Store and when subscribing are what is in the feed. The usual explanation for this is that the method used to create your podcast - in this case Podomatic - limits the number of episodes shown in the feed, moving older ones to an archive page and out of the feed. There is usually a setting to increase this number, though I can't advise on Podomatic.

  • My macbook behaves as if the shift and alt keys are constantly pressed causing permanent special characters. Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

    Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks

    But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl
    or something like thatProbably the easiest way is to check and see if e.getKeyChar() < a space character or if e.getKeyCode() >= 127. You can use e.getModifiers() to get the modifier, etc... -- take a look at the documentation for java.awt.event.KeyEvent class.

  • Podcast app still downloads on mobile data when settings say it shouldn't. This has cost me money due to data allowance. Any idea how I can stop this?

    This has happened a few times now. It always seems to happen at the start of the month as well so I can not use mobile data for the rest of the month.
    Apple are just wasting my money because of a fault in their system. Really need to get this sorted!

    This happened to me, too.  I found that the new Podcast app goes wild. The iPad was in the computer case all day and ate up 5GB of data, and that was on ATT 3G.  Battery power was down to 60% and the iPad was warm. Anyway, I opened "Settings" and scrolled down to and opened "Podcast".  There I found a switch to turn off the cellular data for Podcast downloads. Evidently the default setting by Apple is ON...  Oh well.  I hope that this kills that problem.
