HT202097 How do you delete friend requests?

How do I delete friend requests on game centre? I can only see options for accept, ignore and report, and the ignore button does nothing.

Why don't you just do a simple Google search???

BBM - Random friend requests, 20+ a day.

Before asked, I have not given my pin out to anyone apart from trusted friends.
I'm getting upwards of 20 requests a day on BBM, becoming an annoyance having to constantly block them.
Any suggestions on how to stop this?
Even if it meant only I could add them...

Also, the blocking them in Firewall hasn't worked... And they're definately not on my contacts list...

Getting random friend requests on BBM

I have gotten about 30 friend requests from people i don't know on BBM. Any way I can change my PIN? Any help would be great!

No, u can not change your pin. Some one just probably bc your pin or something. But you can get a brand new phone.

How can stop random tabs from opening in safari!

I have a MacBook Pro 15" retina display2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8GB of space. I've been using safari 7.0.5. Almost every time I click on something in safari, a new tab opens. It's usually an advertisement or sign up page for a dating website. It's getting extremely annoying and I want to know how I can stop them from opening. I've already tried blocking pop up windows in preferences and it hasn't done anything. Please help!

You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Streaming internet: how to stop random station switching?

Hello -
Recently started running iTunes 11.1.5(5) under Mavericks 10.9.2. When listening to streaming internet (not iTunes radio), iTunes will not stay locked on to my desired station. Instead, it randomly moves the streaming source down through the list of available (classical) stations. Weird.
If anyone else has had this issue and know of a workaround, I'd appreciate learning about it. Thanks.

I want to turn off streaming on one ATV.
If it is a primary library that you no longer wish to stream, select 'Show only the synced items on my Apple tv' from the summary tab in itunes when the Apple tv is selected in the device menu.
If it is a secondary library ctrl-click/right-click on the Apple tv in the device list and choose 'turn off streaming' from the contextual menu that appears.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

How to stop a CANCELLATION REQUESTED?

Hi, I was trying to get a desktop tower and thought I brought the wrong one at first and canceled it, finding out it was the right one I had 2nd thoughts about buying it so I tried to get a cancellation on it but I realized I actually want the item, So can I get someone to help me stop the cancellation? Thank you.

Hi 917LANG,
I'm sorry you didn't learn you had the correct item until after you had canceled your order. There is no way to reinstate a canceled order; the only option is to place a new one.
Thanks for your post,

How to stop request for admin password when sending files to trash?

I am requested the admin password when ever sending a file to trash using the mouse or the context menu.
How to stop this annoying request?
It was not like this before.
I am working on a non admin account for security reasons. I got admin details here of cause.
Thanks for you help!
Till Kopper

I gave my working account admin abilities in the system preferences. logged out and back in. Run the command line "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash" as Topher Kessler suggested. Now my own password was accepted (before this ine and the admins accounts one failed). No there is no annoying request for the admin passowrd when sending a file to trash. changed my work account for no admintrative in the system prefs and logged out and in.
Problem solved.
THanks to Topher Kessler!

How do I stop unwanted and too many friend request...

I started receiving way too many contact requests from unknown men, usually all military, Which I have been consistently blocking, but I want to know if my account has been jacked or what is going on and how to stop this, please. Anyone???

just some clarifications changing your privacy settings will only prevent unwanted calls and/or IMs from people who are not in your contact list. It will not prevent other users, both legitimate and potential scammers/spammers, from sending your contact requests.

HT201303 Random Apple id password resets - how to stop this?

A couple of months ago I started getting emails from Apple titled "How to reset your Apple Id password" and then more worryingly "Your Apple Id password has been reset". This happened several times over the next few days and I know this was not done by accident from me or my family because it was happening during the night UK time. I reported to Apple support and they were no help, in fact they deactivated my account until I told them to reactivate it again!
To me it seems like someone (or some system) is triggering the password reset online when trying to access my account.
After reporting it to Apple it stopped for a couple of months - now it started again! Several random resets during the night and day when I know no-one could be doing this from one of my devices.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any good ideas how to stop it? Any way to disable email authentication on the password reset and restrict to only the personal data questions?

Hi marky_mark_uk,
Two-step verification might be a good idea for you if you're seeing a lot of password reset issues you did not initiate:

HT201493 I have received 3 friend requests via email but I cannot accept them. When I select view request, it just gives me directions on downloading the app and there are no requests in my app. How do I accept the request?

I have received 3 friend requests via email but I cannot accept them. When I select view request, it just gives me directions on downloading the app and there are no requests in my app. How do I accept the request?

Which "app" are you talking about?

How do you accept a friend request in the new Game Center with iOS 7.0.4?

How do you accept a friend request in the new Game Center?

I have a red "1" showing I have a request, how do I accept it? I have my list of friends, I scroll down and see the list of recommendations (which doesn't tell me they are playing my game), but I don't see where to accept the request sent to me.

My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
