  • How can I get rid of a system dialogue that keeps reappearing?

    Ever since the latest system update, when my Apple TV goes into the slideshow mode, a dialogue box keeps popping up. It briefly disappears when the picture changes but I can't get rid of it permanently.  It reads:
    "Wirelessly send what's on your ios device or computer to this display using Airplay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay. (1) Choose Wi-Network [name of my local Wi-fi network appears] (2) Choose this Apple TV."
    I assume that the numbers 1 and 2 are options but no action I take on the Apple TV remote or the Logitech universal remote I use clears the dialogue.
    How can I eliminate this dialogue? It really defeats the purpose of the slide show!

    Same issue for me. I've updated the Conference Room Mode, but now when I start the slideshow it goes back to the Apple TV Menu? Any advise? Thanks!

    How do I get rid of a dialog box that keeps coming back even though I press Cancel?

    I was looking up Olympic stats on  Norwegian website, and must have inadvertently clicked a link. The dialog box says: "There is no application set to open the URL nasjoner:2"
    It goes on to tell me to search the App Store , choose an application, or cancel.

  • How do i get rid of the google translator that keeps poping-up

    i dont need a translator for my pages but it seems that google
    has forced one on us. I dont have google toolbar installed and google translator is not to be found anywhere in options or other...
    But i know for sure that it is javascript, if i turn java off, it gets rid of it but also prevents me from using other pages that use java.
    Anyway around this ?????????
    Thanks

    Some pages have a translator embedded in the page code that might get triggered by the ''fr'' in the user agent.

    Are you sure that it comes from Adobe?
    Can you post a screenshot of what you get: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
    Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.

  • I want to get rid of the alert box that keeps coming up that says the server at .... is taking too long to respond

    I would rather it just keep trying to connect rather than continuously pop that stinking box up. It's very annoying

    Firefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page).<br />
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session button and the snippets then set another page as the home page like www.google.com used in Firefox 3 versions.
    You may be seeing a similar ad on the Google site to install Google Chrome.<br />
    In that case use the close X on that ad to close that pop-up and it should stay away unless local storage gets cleared.

  • How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

    There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

    If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • How can i get rid of the "macshop " ads that keep appearing on my browser, as i keep the bobups blocked and cookies of third parties and advertisments blocked as well

    Lately every time i open my browser Safari Version 7.1 on Macbook pro with retina display IOS X 10.9.5 i keep getting these ads from "macshop" also the pages keep directing to files fetcher and i don't know why it keep doing that although i have blocked popups

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • How do I get rid of the letter B that keeps showing up when I hit tab?

    I don't know where the letter B came from but everytime I hit tab it pops up. I have tried a few things:
    -Preferences
    -Keyboard
    -Set lists to none.
    Any other recommendations?
    Thanks.

    You should go to the Apple Store and get it checked out.
    That's weird. Never heard of that one before.

  • How do I get rid of a yahoo toolbar that keeps popping up and is not on the program list of my computer?

    Immediately after I updated my firefox a couple of weeks ago, the browser started to display a yahoo toolbar. At the time my husband took it off using the control panel and add/remove program function on the computer.
    since this am, the toolbar has come back up. I did NOT do anything to request it, or put it there. It is not showing up on my program list, I cannot find it when I do a search of my computer. When I went to yahoo help "remove toolbar" the two suggestions were to do that or use the settings button to remove it, but the settings menu on this doesn't have that option, unless maybe I would create an account, log in, and then remove it. I don't really want to do that either.
    I don't know where this came from, and don't really trust it. I would like to take it off, but can't seem to figure out how.

    I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.

  • I have attempted to change my home page a number of times but it keeps going back to a Bing/Google search page (set up by eSnips). Where do I got to get rid of this home page that keeps poping up every time I open Firefox?

    I had downloaded something from eSnips and likely I missed the "set my home page" check box. So when I opened Firefox, I ended up with this eSnips "Google/ Bing" search page.

    After trying many of the suggestions found online I found that the only thing that worked was to completely uninstall firefox and re-install it again!

    Favicons usually expire after some time, but I don't know how long this takes.
    See also:
    *Bookmark Favicon Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer/
    Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

  • HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.
