How to get rid of about:blank and allow page to load
On one particular site, I open the page and click on the link and the link won't load and the search bar just says about:blank. I've scanned with ClamXav and it revealed a Trojan. I also deleted all plug ins and still no help. Here is my computer check.
I did the check and then it said to click and go to support so I thought it transferred. I haven't checked the Safari Preferences, I use Firefox and have tried Chrome. The Trojan says OSX Trojan Yontoo.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video
I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video
Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible? -

How to get rid of 3rd party and others similar annoying adds????
If you have somehow acquired adware or malware, or maybe some add-ons to your browser
that can be seen in that part of your preference controls for the browser, you may be able to
follow instructions on adware removal to be sure that isn't the problem. You can also go into
the browser and be sure the add-ons don't load.
Some items such as Spigot, genieo, and others can be included in free download or other sites
where the content is spiced with badware; sometimes a click-to-download gets you some other
content instead of what you thought it was. There even are browser redirecting items that keep
you looking at some page you don't want; and if you click on stuff, you may get more badware.

Some may suggest also using a tool by the name Etrecheck, but this by itself does nothing if
you don't know what to do next, however it does give you a partial list of some potential items
that could be indicative of troublesome software or adware, stuff to also remove.

Hopefully this may be of help, and should be useful to understand &/or indentify issues.

How do i get rid of about:blank from my mac OS X?
when trying to follow links on certain websites i get diverted to about:blank. how do i get rid of this?
The simplilist things is to try another browser.
TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.
"World's most advanced web browser. Finely tuned for the Power PC."
-- works for me on 10.4. Supports 10.5

alternative download site:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37761/tenfourfox
Turn on pipelining. This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server. Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

OmniWeb uses the lastest Safari framework. The open source WebKit. Other browsers like Safari and iCab use the OS version of WebKit. The OmniWeb downloaded dmg includes it's own copy of the latest WebKit.

the site was published and everything looked great, except we had to make several changes to the content and somehow along the way a line appeared on the master page (hence appearing on all pages). i can't figure out how to get rid of it, and it's driving me nuts. any advice would be much appreciated.
thank you in advance for you help!Hello,
Are you talking about the Shadow effect on the page : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1415.png
Or is it about the line on the homepage : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1416.png
In case it is about the shadow, please go to Master page, click on some blank area and check in the toolbar at the top if there is some effect applied to page : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1417.png
It can be Shadow, Bevel or Glow effect applied. You can uncheck it and it should be good.
Let us know if it helps or not.

10133 ADF LOV: how to get rid of the blank item on top of the list
Hi,
I have a fixed list LOV. Because I do not want the user to pick a null value from the list, I picked "selection required" when I created the LOV. when the page has the LOV first loaded, the dropdownlist still has the blank item on the top. If I pick a value and execute, the page is reloaded. Now I access the LOV, it does not show the blank item anymore. How can I get rid of the blank item when the LOV is loaded the first time? Thanks.
Regards,
AnnieI Annie, a workaround is to based your LOV values on a read-only VO or a POJO. Even if your intentions is to avoid to go all the way to the back end.
Or you can add a "Select One" in the List so your users are aware they need to choose something.
I tested your case in 10g and 11g and both present the same behavior. I'm opening a bug for 11g. the weird part is that in 10g if you select the include blank item option, actually it adds a double blank space on first load.
I will update the forum when I get news about it.

How to get rid of pop-ups and adware
how to get rid of pop-ups for media downloader, flash player, tech support
Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

HT4623 How to get rid of YouTube desktop and go back to YouTube Moible
How to get rid YouTube desktop or how to get YouTube working when it's on the desktop version or get it back to Moible for iPad2
There is a Mobile link at the bottom of the web page, although I suspect you already found it is broken and doesn't work. To switch back to the mobile version you will have to clear the cookies and cache for Safari. You will have to log into any web sites you set to remember you again. Go to Settings/Safari/Clear Cookies and Data.
You will have to do the same in any other web browser you are using although the clear data setting may be in an other location. There is also a YouTube app available which is tuned for the iPad and does work a little better. -
How to get rid of old documents and emails?
hi,
how do i get rid of old documents and emails from my computer? i know they are there because when i type something in my search bar, i get documents and emails i got years ago. what do i do to get rid of these things?
thank you,
yellow_lamp
what i meant to say, if i didn't say it clear enough, was how do i get rid of old documents and emails that are not currently in my document folder or in my email inbox.Select the email/s you want to get rid of and then select delete. When all the emails are deleted, select your Trash mailbox, select all the emails and then select delete.
Documents you can drag to the trash (lower right side of Dock). Then empty the trash.
Then stop down to your local bookstore and get some books on Mac OS X. -
How to get rid of unnecessary blanks?
Hello,
Lets say i have a String like below;
String temp = "Hello'b''b''b''b''b''b'my name is'b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b'RAY";
There are 21 blanks.What i want to do is get rid of unnecessary blanks which is below;
String temp = "Hello'b'my name is'b'RAY";What is a 'blank'? I would think that you meant a 'space'. But in this code you have spaces in 'my name is' without your little 'b'. So I have no clue what you're talking about.
String temp = "Hello'b''b''b''b''b''b'my name is'b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b''b'RAY"; -
slows computer, affects mouse use, about:blank is a web hijacker which I have avoided for 15 years. Now, suddenly, every computer has it. I am behind a router. The only changes I have made is to update firefox. Can you provide help for removing this? When I go to your app for which sets things back to default and pull up your page, in SAFE MODE, I get "about:home" in my address bar. I don't think it's safe to even install your fix at this point. I'd appreciate hearing back from you. Thank you.I am sending this from an OLD computer whose firefox is not updated but where about:home still appears.

Changing the Newtab Page
Go to about:config and search for this option "browser.newtab.url" and chande its value to a page that you want, for example, google.com
