How can I get rid of the ber at the top of the screen that shows allow it is driving me nuts
At the top of the scren there is a bar acress the top of the screen the has a window that says allow, some time I have to hit the allow button to let a page download, & it is driving me nuts. How do I get rid of it.
See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome. The only extension I have is Google docs. I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer? People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
Thanks!You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.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 named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" 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.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
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.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*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. -
How can I get rid of tab groups (not a button, but the feature itself)? Hate it. Thank you.
I would like to have just tabs without groups, visible all at once, as we had it in previous firefox versions. I don't see any instructions/options. Please help.
To uninstall Ask Toolbar program from your computer,click the Start button, click on Control Panel,the select Uninstall a program. Search and uninstall Ask Toolbar Updater and Ask Toolbar from your computer.
Next you want to uninstall Ask from Firefox:
* At the top of the Firefox window, click the orange Firefox button, then select Add-ons.
* Select the Extensions tab, then remove Ask Toolbar and any other unknown extensions from Mozilla Firefox.
* To reset your search engine and homepage to their default, you can use the SearchReset extension.This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

You can also use [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ ADWCleaner] to get rid of Ask's registry keys.

How can I get rid of sound at a certain spot in the timeline?
I have some video shot with my gopro camera, every time I switch hands with it - it makes a noise the mic picks up that I want to get rid of. Can that be done in premiere pro?
Thanks,
RchjrRCHjr what Peru Bob is suggesting may benefit from a little more detail. He is suggesting you find another clip with what is called "room tone" or background sound. If you cut out all of the sound where you handle the camera your movie may sound strange at the point everything is removed.
Find a part of or a clip where there is consistent background sound with nothing unusual. It needs to be a little longer than the section you cut out. Alt click on the sound part of the clip and drag it somewhere clear on the timeline, this will copy it without the video.
Listen to it by itself -expand the track and click on the S button at the far left to solo it, make sure it is clean- nothing unusual. This is best done using headphones.
Place it on an audio track under the clip you cut the sound out of. You now have many ways to blend them; you can ripple delete, use keyframes or the clip mixer or transitions to blend the two tracks together.
I do a lot of GoPro pole camera work on moving boats on the ocean, every time the camera body or pole is rotated or touches a boat just what you describe happens. There are more sophisticated ways to try to fix it in Audition but the clone and blend method should do the trick. It's also helpful to shoot twenty or thirty seconds of "room tone" which is asking everyone to be quiet and rolling the camera(or sound recorder) for every unique soundscape. -

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
From Ian in Paris, FranceIan
I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes. -
How can I get rid of unsolicited adverts on iMac?
How can I get rid of unsolicited adverts on iMac?
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Take an inventory of the extensions you've installed, if any. Some Safari extensions are adware or spyware. Read the privacy policies or terms of use carefully. Remove any that you don't really need or aren't sure about.
One extension that you may want to install is called "Ghostery." It blocks many tracking cookies. But there are reports that it sometimes causes Safari to crash. I use it and have had no problems.
In the Safari preferences dialog, select the Privacy tab. Here you have the option to remove data, such as cookies, stored on your computer by web servers. You can remove all such data, or remove only some of it by clicking the Details button. The other settings are pretty much self-explanatory.
Consider using ad-blocking software such as "GlimmerBlocker," which also blocks some forms of JavaScript abuse that can be used to track you. It's only suitable for advanced users, and it may block some web content that you want to see. -

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?
I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0. When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background. When I click on it, it opens a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks. How can I get rid of it?
Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.
For checking other extensions that may cause this, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes -
How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
Thanks,

has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad. You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number". And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy. Keep trying and it should verify. If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation. -

According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.
