How can update pop - up blocker settings

How can I update pop - up blocker settings

If you're suddenly seeing unaccustomed ad activity, 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.

    I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How can I pop my 5c into its backing without causing any more damage?

    I think my phone must have fallen because now there's a gap in the corner between the screen and backing, how can I pop my 5c into its backing without causing any more damage? Everything works fine ... its now just super duper fragile ... and open.
    I have a warranty but little spare time and much need for the phone.

    I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.
    Who loves ya, baby?

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

    Re: safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in) 
    Jul 26, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to defconnect5)
    I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
    However, I did see two versions of Flash:
    _Flash Player.plugin with old date
    Flash Player.plugin with todays date
    I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

  • I had some trouble downloading a particular web site and I fiddled with my browser settings, now it's worse! How can I restore the original settings?

    In an effort to solve the problem below, I fiddled with a lot of settings. How can I revert to the settings as they originally featured ? (the default settings)

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    You can use "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

  • MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

    MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
    The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
    2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

  • How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Hi,Guys
    I wrote an application server(daemon process) to talk with oracle server
    continuous which used oracle9 OCCI lib, each 5 min it executes the procedure
    on the DB server.
    Now I have come cross a problem:
    If the network is blocked, app server will blocked at occi call and would
    never pass, and no exception was catched :-(
    for e.g.
    1. Oracle server reboot without shutdown oracle process
    2. udp broadcast message storm blocked the connection between app server and
    oracle DB.
    I consider maybe it's because OCCI using the blocking mode of connection
    that caused this problem.
    How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Manage the timeout using a separate thread. When the timeout happens, issue a break on the OCCI connection. There is no direct way as of now. You need to do this to break a OCCI connection.
    retrieve the OCI handle from the OCCI handle (e.g. using Connection::getOCIServer or Connection::getOCIServiceContext methods) and issue a OCIBreak on it. Do not forget to allocate a error handle which should be passed to OCIBreak call.

  • How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses

    How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses??
    TIA
    C

    Most email clients have a provision to create a 'rule'. The rule examines the email as it is received. In generally you can search for specifically senders, recipients,subjects, or specific content words in the body. Based upon the findings of the rule, you can do something with the email (such as end it directly to the Trash).
    For example if you know where all of valid you emails come from, you can create a rule that checks the from field for an acceptable sender and sends those email's that to the inbox, while sending all emails from other senders to the trash or spam folder
    Keeping out foreign language emails is often difficult because because often it is difficult to come up with a rule that will catch them on the basis of language they are written in.
    There are also commercial products that can scan incoming email and 'score' the email based upon content, and you decide at what 'score'  you want the mail sent straight to the trash or spam folder. Verizon's spam filter does this based upon Verizon's scoring system, and actually does catch a lot of spam. It also occaisonally catches things that are not spam however....
    Hope that is helpful

  • How can I edit the privacy settings for my daughters Apple ID.

    My daughter has forgotten her privacy settings. She has $80 in credit and would like to use them. How can she edit her privacy settings?

    What do you mean by 'privacy settings' ?
    If you mean the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode on her iPad then was it on the iPad when she last backed up ? If not then she can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when she last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and she can then re-sync your content back to her iPad - she won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    If you mean the answers to her security questions, then if she has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on her account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on her account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If she doesn't have a rescue email address (she won't be able to add one until she can answer her questions) then sher will need to contact Support in her country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if she doesn't already have a rescue email address) sher can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    If you mean something else ... ?
