Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

How do i get rid of CSS on one page only?

I have a website that is being hosted for me. I want to take
a web page and make an ebay auction template out of it. I can't get
rid of the CSS and it's driving me crazy. Everytime I want to
change the text, it reverts back and posts the CSS code in the
page. I don't want that.
The site uses CSS, and I have not done a website in years and
CSS is still a little french to me & kind of a pain in the ***
since I have not much idea of how it works.
How do I get rid of the CSS for a page within a website that
uses CSS, or am I SOL? Does eBay allow CSS?
Help!

Last try and then I give up :-)
> .style1 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif}
That's css in the head of the document right?
When you say: I type text here & change the
format
Do you change it via the property inspector and you end up
with the css
snippet above in the document? How do you change the format,
what format do
you use?
From the portion of the code you've sent I can't see anything
apart from the
style for the font, so that itself won't give you 'red text'.
I can only
assume then, that there is something happening when you
upload the page to
the ebay server or whatever.
Sorry I can't help any further, but I'm stumped without any
further links or
the code for the whole page.

How do i get rid of the Yahoo Virus?

Everytime i type something in the adress bar and hit enter i get redirected to yahoo search.
I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN ASKED MANY DAMN TIMES.
But the solutions suggested DO NOT WORK, because the keyword.URL does not exist anymore.
I've had the same problem 2 weeks ago and yesterday i've let a friend install Spotify on my computer and BOOM - this morning guess who was back.
The last time I had to remove it i had to reinstall everything which resulted in having me to input all the pages i frequently use by hand aswell as the corresponding log ins.
I don't wonna go through this trouble again.
How do I get rid of it and more important is there a way to banish the Yahoo Virus forever without having to gamble everytime you install a new piece of software?

The reason keyword.URL no longer matters is that the address bar is designed to use the same search engine you select on the Search Bar (by default, Google).
If that is not working, check your extensions. You can review, disable, and often remove them on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, disable everything nonessential or unknown -- often you won't even recognize everything here.
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
To clean up non-default settings, you can use the Search Reset extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Any luck?

How do i get rid of a iPhone Virus?

I have now for the second time a strange virus on my Iphone 5, iOs 6.1.4 It opens randomly the pre-installed apple apps like Newsstand, Settings, Notes etc. and changes settings there. The first time I had it, it sent a message with "awkward" to one of my contacts. This time it changed my wallpaper. I haven't jailbreaked my iPhone. How do I get rid of this ****? It seems to help to switch the Wifi off. A reset of the settings did work the first time but not now. Thanks for your help!

How do I get rid of 'sweet page' after having used malware softw., reestablishing firefox as hyperlink, rebooting ?

It is not the described ''sweet pack' but 'sweet page' - presents itself as search engine - supposedly from the Netherlands. I have run malwarebytes anti-malware - no malware found - I reestablished mozilla as hyperlink - rebooted twice - didn't help, it keeps popping up whenever I try t open a new tab.
must have happened when I updated Java from the Java homepage.
How can I get rid of that? Thank you very much for your efforts, with kind regards
Irene Fritz

There's also a separate, hidden setting for new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Two gotchas:
* If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page: orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
* If the change works for the rest of your session but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page, you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

How do you get rid of a Moneypak virus?

I was surfing the web and all of a sudden a window popped up telling me I have been blocked for illegally downloading movies, etc. I was in Safari and I knew it was a scam as they wanted me to send them money to get the unlock code. I was able to force quit Safari which I did and then I shut down the computer but it's still there. I opened Firefox and found out that this is a Moneypak virus. I want to know if anyone knows how to get rid of it. I am using a MacBook Pro.   Thanks.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How can I get rid of McAfee SiteAdvisor that has installed itself on my Firefox browser screen?

An uninvited McAfee message flashed up on my screen when I was on the net and I mistakenly clicked a button that installed the McAfee SiteAdvisor on my browser screen. I have tried to uninstall the McAfee program and to delete the files that McAfee has stored on my computer, but when I try to delete those files a box comes up saying that they cannot be deleted because they are either write protected or in use by another program.
I do not want to have to read a McAfee SiteAdvisor bright green notice on the bottom corner of my computer screen every time I use Firefox. Does anyone know how to get rid of the files McAfee has stored on my computer? Thank you.

I used to have McAfee site advisor on one machine last year. I do not remember major problems un-installing it presumably it uninstalled easily from the Windows XP control panel -> remove programs.
I also seem to recall it created a long list of files possibly totalling in the GB range of memory use, if I remember correctly I had no problems in removing them.
If you have McAfee security products on your computer you may need to be careful about what is uninstalled.

How can I get rid of the personal toolbar which is always displayed

Hi,
Just migrated from xp to win 8.1 on a new computer.

My personal bookmark bar is now always visible across the top of the screen.
I just don't want this and want to get rid of that continuous display. What did I do wrong and how can I mend this?
Thank you in advance,
LL

Hi,
You can hide that by following:
*Click the orange Firefox button
