How can i avoid pop-ups

i have gone through your various materials but mostly find computerese please simply without any superior language tell me how can i prevent nusiance pop ups
thank you

hello, if you're getting a lot of unsolicited popups this might be a sign of malicious software being active on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

  • How can I force pop-ups being opened in a new tab

    We've a new software which always opens a pop-up window when clicking on the Java links. The content of such a re-sizable window perfectly fits into a new tab.
    I'd like to force those new windows into a new tab.
    Pop-up blocker is active and that internal site is in the exception list.
    So it would be nice to have an option field for that in the general settings or in the Pop-up blocker settings.
    This is no bug, but could be a new feature of Firefox (like in IE).
    Thanks &
    Kind regards,
    Peter Marbler

    The easy way is to install 'Tab mix plus' addon and under 'links' set 'Java script & pop up restriction' to 'open all pop ups in tabs'.
    You can also use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ to tweak a bunch of other tab settings.
    There is always about:config but more often than not there is the easy way, an addon that will do it for you.

  • How can I allow pop-ups even after "Block pop-ups" is NOT checked?

    When I'm on the Google Drive website (https://drive.google.com/) and I click Create > Document, I get the following message:
    "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page."
    My only options on the far right are "Allow", and "[X]" to exit.
    The URL for any new document starts with "https://docs.google.com/".
    Seeing as creating a new Google document forces a new tab to open, I felt that this would fall under "pop-up windows".
    Help, please!

    This is not because of a blocked popup.<br>
    This is an accessability setting.
    You can turn this off, by following these steps:
    #Go to the Firefox Options
    #Select the General Tab
    #Uncheck the Warn me when websites try to reload...
    Please report back soon.

  • How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission..."., How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission...".

    I have a Mac Mini (early 2009) running OSX 10.8.1 on a Windows network that is driving me nuts.
    Background
    Typically, 6 or 7 computers are running (Windows 7, OSX 10.8.1 and Linux) on the network at any given point in time.   Network printers and hand helds (iphones, PlayBooks, etc.) are also connected.
    The problem
    If one specific Windows 7 desktop is running, a pop-up error message comes up frequently.  The eror message is: 
    There was a problem connecting to the server "[Server name or IP]".    You do not have permission to access this server.
    The pop-up sometimes refers to the device name and sometimes refers to the IP address of the desktop.
    Oddities:
    This does not occur on a MacBook Pro also running 10.8.1
    The error message does not occur for other Windows computers on the network.  I have laptops running Windows 7 Professional that have never shown up on the error message..
    Files on the problem desktop are easily accessible through [Finder].
    Things I've tried to resolve the problem:
    Ran software update - multiple times
    Changed the destination drive for [Time Machine] and completed a backup
    Cleared the "Recent Server" list from the [Finder][Go][Connect to Server] screen
    Attempted to demount the desktop in [Finder].  The option was not available
    Disconnected from the desktop in [Finder].  This did not resolve the problem and the desktop was automatically showing on the [Shared] list in [Finder] after the next reboot.
    Booted in SAFE mode to see if the problem re-occurred in SAFE mode.  It did not.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

    Thank you.  It wasn't in there directly, but CISCO's "Network Magic" was there.  Removing it appears to have solved the problem.
    Thanks again and have a good weekend.

  • Applemac OSX 10.7.5 How do I spot pop ups appearing every time I click the mouse on-line. this has only just started.have I clicked something  wrong??

    How can I stop pop ups apprering every time I use the mouse on-line. have I clicked on something wrongly??

    You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
    Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat.

  • How can I avoid the Local storage pop-up question dialog box during playing you tube vedios ?

    How can I avoid the Local storage pop-up question dialog box during playing you tube vedios ?

    You might try tweaking your global privacy settings.  I suspect it's set to "always ask."
      Go to this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l -- which contains the settings panel for Flash Player, and click on the various "deny" buttons to disable this.  (It's a good idea to click on all the tabs to check the settings.)
    If this works for you, please post back.  (I know it worked for me.)

  • Can ads and pop ups be shut off on I pad on downloaded games?

    Can ads and pop ups be shut off on game apps?

    Chris is saying it but without saying it ....
    Yes you can turn them off. Buy the full version of the game. As long as you use the free versions there is no way to turn off the ads. That's how the developer generates revenue for his or work - if you don't want to buy the paid version of the game he has to get paid somehow.

  • How can i avoid restarting tomcat server when servlet is modified?

    please advice me that how can i avoid restarting the tomcat server, whenever a servlet file is modified in my application. is their any way ?

    No probs. Here's how I do things...
    1. Install tomcat as normal (e.g. I install to C:\Apps\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4)
    2. Create a webapps directory in your eclipse project with the following directory structure
    MyEclipseProject
       - src
       - conf
       - webapps
          - MyApplication
             - META-INF
             - WEB-INF
                - classes
                - lib
                - pages3. Set the project's output folder (e.g. bin folder) to webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/classes
    4. Put all your jar files in the lib directory
    5. Put JSPs / HTML in the pages directory (you may also want to create additional directories for TLDs, config files etc)
    6. Ensure your web.xml is in the WEB-INF directory
    7. Although it isn't essential I create a context.xml file and store it in META-INF, e.g.
    <Context reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/struts-config.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/tiles-defs.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/validation.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>I use this to set monitored resources that will trigger an automatic appliation reload and to configure JAAS (not shown). See the Tomcat documentation for additional information.
    8. In the 'conf' directory I create a server.xml file used to configure Tomcat (you can copy the one from your <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml).
    After copying the file change appBase attribute in the host element to be the full path to the webapps directory. You can also change the HTTP and HTTPS ports if you wish
    9. Download and install the Tomcat Launcher plugin from Sysdeo.
    10. In Eclipse's Preferences menu you will see a new entry for Tomcat. Click this then
    a. Set your Tomcat Version
    b. Set your Tomcat Home
    c. Set "Context declaration mode" to server.xml
    d. Set the configuration file to the full path to your server.xml file created in step 8
    On the "Advanced " sub page select all relevant projects to add to the Tomcat classpath
    On the "JVM Settings" page add all the jars in your WEB-INF lib directory to the class path
    On the "Source Path" page select all relevant projects
    Now if you start Tomcat using the Tomcat icon, you will be able to remote debug your application. If you change web.xml (or any other file in your context.xml watched resources) it will automatically reload. Any changes to JSPs will automatically be picked up (providing your tell your browser not to use the page in cache - e.g. CTRL+F5 in IE)
    There are some limitations that I'm still working on however. Primarily that I haven't included the Tomcat Manager application in my webapps directory, so Sysdeo cannot perform a reload. This means that if I change a source file, and eclipse auotmatically rebuilds, Tomcat doesn't pick up the change unless I either change a watched resource file (e.g. web.xml) or stop and restart Tomcat.
    There's no reason why this can't be fixed, I just haven't got round to it yet.
    I'm sure there are lots of other (probably better) ways of achieving the same thing. This was the first method I tried and it worked, so I stuck with it. I'm not a Tomcat config guru and I'm sure other forum users could provide some improvements should they wish.
    Post if you get into trouble, however I won't be able to respond until next week.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype...

    How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype when I'm not signed in?
    It's really annoying.
    I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but suddenly I get the skype-calling-sound, and I have to log into the skype app to abort the call. The persistent calling bastards kept on calling after I aborted the call and left the app, so I ended up muting my speakers for a while. It really shouldn't have to be this troublesome.

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......
