How do I remove a DNS Solution Error? Sometimes when I do a search using a Firefox browser, this message comes up and it doesn't take me to the site I am looking for.
Sometimes I use Firefox for browsing and when I do a search, the search engine will not take me to the site but I get a message that says "DNS Solution Error".
I believe it is some kind of malware. I appreciate any help from anyone who knows how to fix it.
You may have installed a malicious or defective Firefox extension. Remove all extensions that you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. Otherwise, check the Firefox network settings (not the Network pane in System Preferences) for a proxy server.

How can I remove viruses off my computer? I have mac OS X, but I clicked on a website on google and it didn't open. Instead the security program popped up and said that my computer is at risk of a crash and has detected several viruses!?!?! AAAAHHH!?!?!

It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

Hello, I've installed Lion but now it says I can't use the Cloud as I need the Apple ID Password to use Back to My Mac. I've obtained several new Apple ID passwords which work ok on my phone but doesn't seem to be the password it's looking for.Does anyone know what's needed please ??
It's probably looking for the Apple ID & Password you used to purchase Lion, or ML as the case may be.
Thse are the Mountain Lion forums, is that what you meant? -
Why is Firefox continually redirecting me away from the site I'm looking for?
When I go to a site, I get redirected to an advertising site. When I backspace twice I get returned to the Google search page and then I can go directly to the site I'm punching in. But why am I getting redirected all the time?

Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. When I click on "Allow", The 2nd tab closes with no error msg This was Home Depot redirecting to CitiGroup.
When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
Thanks again mha007 -
I have tried installing from the App sotre updates and also the softwarre updates - I receive the same message.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

I just got message from AT&T that iPhone 4 is unlock and I need to restore my iphone for unlock but I getting message as " Your iPhone can not be updated or restore . This device is not eligible for requested build" Any help and support is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Scarykid9 wrote:
So I contacted AT&T and gave them my IMEI number and requested an unlock. After I got the e-mail back saying that it was ready to unlock I followed these steps (and yes it has been 24 hrs since I received the e-mail, in fact it's been over a week now and still no difference);
Back up your iPhone.
When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
I've completed those steps multiple times but I still have yet to see the message saying it's unlocked. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working for me? Do I need a new SIM card from another carrier to make it work? I'm using my old SIM card from AT&T because that's all I have right now. I can't think of anything else that could be causing the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!
You need to restore the phone (that is, iOS), not the backup. Those instructions have always been ambiguous. After iOS restores you should get the unlocked message, and you can then restore the backup (it should prompt you to). And you need to wait "long enough" after you got the instructions; it can take several days. -
The above mentioned popups that include the message
just suddenly appeared recently as above though I do not recall adding any programs recently. I may have accidentally restored a program or two that had been sitting in my recycle bin, though i never got these popups before and have had my current pc for slightly over 3 years.These popups always say brought to you by kong games and typically read things" like call computer support 1-855-465-3840" or " 19 Epic Selfie Fails" and lead to websites such as suchhappy.com".Thank youTry these steps:

How do you fix a R6025 pure virtual function call error? When I try to search for music, iTunes freezes & returns this message.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

to that site I get the error below.I followed the same approach in dev and didn't have any issues.The content DB was migrated from MOSS 2007 site collection.
Please help.
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
It says the most likely causes are:
The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
The URL contains a typographical error.
A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.
This error means that the file or directory does not exist on the server. Create the file or directory and try the request again.

[Azure Website]The resource you are looking for has been removed
Hi,
I created a website on Azure. When I access this URL:
http://ywc.me/down/soft/MicroTransfer_V2.1.0.ipa. I got the error message:
"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
While, I do put the file MicroTransfer_V2.1.0.ipa under the folder. The zip file under the same directory can be downloaded successfully with the URL:

Thank you in advance!

How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.
Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save. -
I'm on a mac running 10.6.8, was using Firefox 6.02 when the problem started, i performed a clean install of 7.01, installed the latest Flashplayer, and reinstalled java (the 10.6.5 update file from apple's site).
I seem able to load video at youtube.com, and was able to load web-based irc chatrooms at ircchat.tv. however, at jamplay.com a paid member site, all of the lessons are flash video, and there's a live video feed chat room that is also flash based, and I am not able to view this content. the video content pops up the error message "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect?
URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js" and the clicking on the "launch chatroom" button does exactly nothing.
I have contacted the jamplay site team but their recommendations are the steps I have already taken, mentioned above, that did not resolve the issue.
some links to content on their site visible without being a member:
http://www.jamplay.com/
this one has a flash interface that, if things were working, would have a video in the center and members and staff talking abouth that area of the site when you click on one of the title buttons. Now that I am having this problem, nothing is clickable and there's no indication that there should be a video in the center. The error message regarding xajax does not come up at all.
http://www.jamplay.com/guitar-lessons/beginners/1/527-16-circle-of-fifths
same thing. video content is missing, xajax error does not appear.
http://www.jamplay.com/live
when I load these all content except the video loads on the page. this page does not give me the error at all, just does not load the video
I can't seem to recreate the actual error without being logged in as a member of the site.
The apple support team gave me a one-time free suppport ticket to troubleshoot an ethernet issue I was having. Unfortunately, the databases I removed were not deemed either by apple or me to be noteworthy or necessary to retain (all of them were for software I not longer have or use). I don't know which plist file might have been the one I need now. I did reinstall the java and flash items. The only other item that I think it might be is a set of belkin router software that I uninstalled because i'm not using any belkin hardware anymore.
If someone has any kind of idea I would be most appreciative.That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.
