How do I get rid of the software update notification that keeps popping up top right of screen? I want to manage what and when I update and I just don't want some updates. I find this really annoying as all I can do to get rid of it is remind me tomorrow.

I recently upgraded to OS mavericks and really wish I hadnt. Just more problems to fix. Little anoying bugs
Upon sending mail I always get a pop up box saying unable to contact server so I have to click okay.
Often I think an email has gone - only to find it stuck in drafts days later. This is extremely annoying ... mostly I have to wait around and after maybe 5 minutes check my sent box just to be sure it actually went. Even though I heard the whoosh ... doesn't seem to mean it really did go.
Some of my photos in Iphoto just have a big exclamation mark when I try to open them up - any ideas how to fix this one.

  • How can I get rid of the Introduction splash page that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox 4?

    Wen I attempt to open Firefox 4, I keep getting a splash page before I can go elsewhere. It is particularly annoying when trying to access Links on my desktop, because the splash page prevents thelink from opening.

  • How do I get rid of the infoatoms advertising bar that keeps popping up?

    I keep having this advertising bar pop up. I have followed all instructions to get rid of it. I have uninstalled it and selected disable ads. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3 times. This is only happening with Firefox. Now, I am not showing the InfoAtoms in the programs, but it is apparently still there hijacking my Firefox every time I open it. I use Firefox for a class, but I am getting very frustrated with this advertising bar. Please help me get rid of it.

    I reset Firefox to its default (see Firefox Help), and then in Control Panel of Windows uninstalled InfoAtom itself, as well as a couple of other questionable items that were installed without my knowledge at the same time. In Control Panel, it doesn't give you an option to uninstall, but you'll get to it by clicking on "Change." I tried disabling it through Firefox first, but that did not work. This way I know it's gone, gone, gone! And it really does seem to be gone.
    In case InfoAtom is still watching this thread, my feedback is thus: My problem with InfoAtoms was that it was somehow installed without my knowledge, under the radar of my anti-virus, which should have asked me if I wanted to allow changes from that company. Then I started noticing all the ads, which I dislike. Then that there needs to be a message board on how to get rid of it. Fooling with this took some real time out of my morning.

  • How do I get rid of the Java Script Application that keeps popping up and saying 'invalid XMC value'?

    Every time I click to add something to a message, this pops up. It is very irritating and I have no idea where or how it came from as it just started today.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    You cannot stop it from popping up.
    it will continue every few minutes until its installed.
    just keep using the back button near right side of home button.

  • I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

    I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

  • How can I turn off the the big orange window that keeps opening on top of Google since the last firefox update installed.

    Since the last mozilla/firefox update whenever I go online, google and mozilla/firefox open at the same time and I can not see google since mozille/firefox (a big orange window) opens on top of google. I read everything in the window but there doesn't seem to be an "off" button for this big orange window.

    Hi pamerritt,
    Are you saying you always see the "Welcome to Firefox" message? If so, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup notification that's locking my iPad in order to connect to wifi and update?

    I just moved to a remote area, and it has taken a while for my internet to be hooked up. I haven't really used my iPad since I got here, but now that I have wi-fi I went to turn it on, and I got an iCloud Backup message that says, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 7 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi." I hit OK but it won't go away, and I cant get into my settings or any other app while it's up. So, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get it connected to the wi-fi? I tried plugging it in, and it didn't work. I can't even turn it off...any ideas?

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This only restarts it; you won't lose any data by doing this.

  • Please help in my problem I would like to use one wireless internet provider not every single one in the neighborhood. Thank you in advance for the information how to shut of any other providors such as Netgear(that keeps popping up)

    only want one internet service provider but have every single one popping up in the neighborhood.

    What you are seeing aren't "service providers", they are your neighbors wireless networks. Assuming you have provided your own wireless network with a unique name it should be easy to select, and once you sign on to it, your MBA should pick it up and automatically sign you in. The visibility of the other networks would be moot.

  • How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up: Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don't know what it is but don't want it.

    How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up:
    Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
