How do i get rid of about:blank from my mac OS X?

when trying to follow links on certain websites i get diverted to about:blank. how do i get rid of this?

The simplilist things is to try another browser.
TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.

Turn on pipelining.  This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server.  Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

  • How do I get rid of phone contacts "From my Mac" so I can only see iCloud contacts

    Since I have upgraded to iOS 5 and now use iCloud for my contacts, how do I get rid of the From my Mac contacts on my iPhone and iPad?
    My contacts show groups from both my Mac and from iCloud.

    connect the iPhone to the mac, go to iTunes, select the iPhone, in the info tab uncheck the option to sync your contacts. sync now.
    Make sure you do a backup(of the iPhone and Mac address book) before you do this. you might need to play a bit with it. If you mess up you will be able to just restore.
    i had to try several things before i got the proper iCloud sync working without having to deal with duplicate contacts.

  • How do i get rid of MAndiate virus from my MAC

    Got infected with Mandiate virus.  How do I get it off my MAC?

    Do you mean "Mandiant"? If so, that's not a virus, or any other kind of malware. It's just a scam that attempts to make you believe your browser has been locked. See the following description of a variant of this scam:

    I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I get rid of a "bot" on my Mac that is sending out erroneous emails to everyone in our address book?

    How do I get rid of a "bot" on my Mac that is sending out erroneous emails to everyone in our address book? 

    You will have to look around your machine & figure out the name of the program.
    try /application/utilities/activity monitor
    I recommend that you get a littlesnitch. littlesnitch will track your Web traffic and tell you which applications are sending data from your computer. Be sure to run it awhile because it will trigger a number of alerts. In trail mode, it will run for three hours per boot for a about a month.

    This list maybe different in your release of X.
    Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
