How do I stop safari pop ups?

Every now and then I get a pop up in safari on my ipad, just a small box saying:
http://topappleapp.info
Top Apple games
Free download now, the last day!
The only option I have from here is to click ok, which then redirects me to the App Store to a Bingo Bash app. I Anzac obviously just close this and go back to safari, but the website I was on then disappears and say 'Loading, please wait' but nothing loads. Refreshing doesn't help, neither does the back button.
This has always happened on the same website as far as I can remember - just a site I use for recipes called onegreenplanet.org. I have used this website so many times without any problems, but it is very frustrating when this happens.
I have turned on the 'block pop ups' (which was actually already on when this was happening), cleared history and cookies, then restarted but still get the pop up. Any ideas???

I have this problem on an iPad 4 (7.0.4) with Safari, tried 'Block Pop-ups' (was already on), 'Clear History', 'Clear Cookies and Data', restart iPad; all to no avail.
There is something about the sites you are visiting, I'm consisitantly getting it for twitchfilm.com, but not others.
Doesn't happen when I navigate to the same site with Safari on an iPhone 5S (7.0.4), or from  Safari on an iMac (not surprisingly as it is a link to the App store). I haven't tried using another browser on the iPad.
It is very annoying and has effectively barred me from visting this site due to the reasons given above.

    henever I click on something whether on line or in a document, a pop-up appears asking what I want to do, e.g., copy, cut, etc.  How do I stop these pop-ups?

    That's normal right-click behavior, if it's happening when you left-click, the first thing to check would be whether the setting got reversed in System Preferences > Mouse.            

  • How do I stop the pop-ups that happen every 5 minutes since I updated firefox P.S. firefox is the one that they come from

    normally the firefox browser stops all pop-ups because of the add blocker I have but lately videos and even a new window will pop-up and It will usually play or advertise so I installed another add blocker and they still get thru so the only way they can get thru is ether they are well programed adds or firefox can't block them a/o supports these pop-ups themselves some info would be nice

    Hi Hadosan
    Please find an article on pop-blocker in the link below.

    There is a section on pop-up not being block, try it and hope it solve your problem.

  • I have been getting a lot of pop ups since I have upgraded to lion. How do I stop the pop ups?

    I have been getting a lot of pop ups every time I get on the internet and especially if I do any kind of searches.  I never used to get any on my mac and now all of a sudden, since I upgraded to OSX Lion 10.7.4 I am getting them every time. This is making me sick! I got a mac so I would never have to deal with this stuff...

    Hello bernadetteweibel, your user agent(in your More System Details) said that you have 23.0 version of firefox (your user agent : User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0), try to download and install the new version :
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

  • Itunes page pops up continually on the pc since we added a second ipod. how do I stop the pop up? help/ to the same pc

    itunes page pops up continually on my windows Vista pc since we added a second ipod and sync it to the same pc. How do I stop the pop ups??

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
    Cheers

  • How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?

    How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?  On both devices I have cleared history, I have gone into settings-safari-and cleared history and cleared cookies & data, tried turning my devices on and off and I also have private browsing turned on. Both devices are operating on iOS 5.  When I type in a url I don't want anything to show and auto complete.  Any suggestions?

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I am using Yahoo Mail? I really need a correct answer please.                                                                                             Mail? I need a correct answer please.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.

  • How do I stop iTunes popping to front ?

    how do I stop iTunes popping to front ?
    Posted: 09-Sep-2009 22:53
    whenever iTunes has a dialogue window open every 30 seconds or so it keeps popping to the front. for example while writing this I have iTunes installing the new iPhone 3.1 software and it has an "updating iPhone" message and it is a real pain.
    my last post of this question has had replies disallowed and the problem hasn't been fixed in the new itunes update (9.1)
    also run as administrator dosen't work for me though others have had success with this

    Not sure if this will solve the whole problem for you, but its solved one of my major issues, so thought worth sharing.
    I have the problem that when importing CDs or attaching Ipod the itunes program pops to the front. You can be halfway through a post/email/doc whatever and then it just appears and before you know it youve pressed keys that mean youre listening to Bachmann Turner Overdrive...
    Anyway, I have solved this issue by going (in MAC OS X) to the system prefs and CD/DVD and making sure all options in there are set to ignore. In the itunes prefs I have stopped the ipod from auto synching and itunes from opening when you insert anything at all.
    Hope this helps and fixes a bit of stuff for people.

  • How do I stop Safari taking up ALL active memory?

    When Safari is closed, I have about 530 MB free system memory.  I open Safari, and over the next 5 minutes it takes over all free memory, until I have about 40 MB free and 490 active.  This means that all other programs crawl and freeze, and Safari constantly hangs.  Force-quitting and emptying the cache at least once a day makes better, but only a little bit.
    But how do I stop Safari doing this??

    Hi Gibby,
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

    And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...
