How do i get rid of these specific kind of pop-up ads?
I am getting a specific kind of pop-up ad in Safari and Chrome (all Internet Browsers) even with the pop-up blocker. I don't know what happened, but after visiting a blog online, I starting having this problem. I have been searching high and low for an answer and have yet to find one. I have tried a number of internet malware and virus programs that remove this kind of stuff but nothing is detected. It says the computer is clean (but oviously isn't). I looked into possible plugins that may cause this and still nothing.
This image below is what the pop-ups look like (notice bottom left corner):
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE!?

Any input on how to choose a 'safe' torrent? I'm not a **** dude, just get the tv shows/movies that aren't available to me overseas.
The problem is, there really isn't a safe way to get that kind of stuff, other than through a legal streaming service like iTunes, Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime. Torrents and all the various "free" streaming sites are actually illegal, and typically run from countries with lax laws on such things in order to make money from advertising through adware. They may also get involved in actual malware at times, as well.
If these legal outlets don't provide the content you want because of the country you're connecting from, one option would be to sign up for a VPN (virtual private network) service with servers in the country you want to stream content from. So, if you want to stream videos from the US, sign up for a US-based VPN service, then stream through that.

How do I get rid of these annoying virus scan pop-up windows?!?
Every time I get on my laptop, these stupid virus scan windows pop up and they won't go away! No matter if I press Eject or Cancel, and as you can see, there is NO option to x it out! Only the yellow and green buttons show up, but the red X button does not! I took a picture of four of them and then all ten that are open. It seems more keep opening up whenever another program opens or seems to be running in the background! It's so frustrating! Has anyone else ever experienced this? I have the 2008 black MacBook. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
You have some kind of anti-virus software installed, which should probably be removed. I can't immediately identify the icon, though. When these scans are running, open Activity Monitor (found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder), click the CPU tab and make sure the items with high CPU usage numbers are sorted to the top. Then take a screenshot of the Activity Monitor window and post it here.
Make a screenshot by following the directions here:

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.
If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.
For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...
But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.
Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".
How do I get rid of these?
Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!
Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary. -
Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?
Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups) It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
Can this be done?You moved what photos from where and to where?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. -
I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards, I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???
iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

When I upgraded to 3.6.8 all my tabs now are twice the size and have a thumbnail preview of the webpage in them - how do i get rid of these and go back to the normal tabs
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i upgarded to 3.6.8Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

I have several tv episodes stuck in my downloads on my iPad. I receive an error, unable to download when I try to resume downloading. I can't clear them out of the download queue. How do I get rid of these from download?
You can always finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then the TV Shows to the iPad. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the downloads and then sync the iPad.
As far as trying to finish the downloads on the iPad .....
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again. -
