You can "allow" a site under
Tools > Options > Content
using the first Exceptions button on the right.
But popups also can be blocked by some toolbars as a bonus feature. You may want to check their options. I'd especially check security software bars such as McAfee.
Even if a toolbar is not normally displayed full time, it still could be active. You can use View > Toolbars to display it and check its features.

Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

I have pop ups blocked but every time I change web pages I get a pop up. How do I stop this?

I went to the TOOLS and OPTIONS and checked the box to BLOCK POP UPS but still every time I change web pages, no matter what they are, I get a pop up. Please help me to stop this. This is very annoying.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

HT204053 kids are getting the parents imessages via their ipod touches - we don't want our kids getting our messages.. how can we stop this?

All devices are using updated software and here's the issue:
Mom & Dad each have an ipod 3gs. Two teen kids each have an ipod touch 4. All 4 devices use the same Apple ID, share free and purchased apps. The kids are receiving Mom and Dad's text messages & messages between our texting contacts.
Question: 1. How can we avoid the kids receiving messages displayed on our phones to their touches (we are aware of iMessage on/off but we know the kids are able to turn this feature on and off on their touches without the need for a password.
Question: 2. If we set up separate Apple ID's for each Ipod device, can we all still share current purchased Apps & continue to share purchased Apps? Apple allows up to 5 devices share Apps.
Help is appreciated before we choose to not upgrade the older 3gs phones to the latest iphone and get Samsungs.
Thank you.

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Firefox 4 tries to close all tabs when closing a pop-up. How do I stop this?

Just upgraded to Firefox 4 yesterday. It's great! EXCEPT every time a pop-up occurs, if I try to just click on the "x" to close the pop-up, Firefox wants to close all my tabs (and thus my browser).

For example, on the following link:
http://www.amazon.com/Clear2GO-Water-Bottle-with-Filter/dp/B002VPRKSC/ref=pd_sim_k_4
When I click on the water bottle image, a window pops up with an enlarged picture of the product. However, when I try to close the popup, it asks me if I want to close all my tabs.

My firefox browser often is redirected. I go to google type in a company name, I click on the site, but instead of the company I get an advertisement. How can I stop this?

For example, I type in South Caronlina Contractors license in google. I see the SCCL website. It is the official website. I click on it and instead of getting the state site, I get redirected to an advertisement. 10 minutes later I go through the same process and get the site I want. It happens with a number of sites not just one I mentioned.

www.google-anaylitics.com is a company that tracks people on the net for statistical data. It puts a tracking cookie on your system so it can follow you around and see where you go, etc.
I have an add-on called "ghostery" that detects these tracking cookies and blocks them. You would not believe how many there are on the internet. Even this page sets a "Web Trends" cookie. According to Ghostery "Web Trends" has been found on over 10,000 sites.
So, try installing it and see if it solves the problem. You may also want to get the add-on "LSO". It takes care of macromedia's tracking cookies
You'll find both of them in the FF add-ons.

When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When using Lightroom then exporting to Aperture i always get 2 files? How can i Stop this?

If i Import my images to lightroom and edit, I like to display my images in Aperture but when i do the import to Aperture the image always appears twice, How do i stop this?
I generally safe as a Tiff file for my import.

Here's what I find strange (actually it's all a bit strange!), you say earlier that the import doesn't see these tiff files, yet import should see tiff files just fine:
And now you say you resave as tiff in PS and it fixes the problem.
The only conclusion I can draw is that there is something unusual about the way you are exporting the TIFF from Lightroom. TIFF is a container format that can contain multiple pages/images. I wonder if you have somehow told Lightroom to save 2 copies of the image into a single TIFF file, and then Aperture is showing you one version of the same file per image/page?

I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

Hi Frantic503,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Have a great day,
Joe

I keep getting pop ups on firefox

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. 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.
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.
