  • How to stop "FROM AROUND THE WEB" and "You May Like" from coming up on each page that I browse

    It is very frustrating when I am on Mozilla looking at various websites and on each page that I go to either "FROM AROUND THE WEB" or "You May Like" come up in the middle of the page with links to other websites that I am not interested in viewing.
    Also when I am shopping on the internet another pop up called Deals, brought by iWebar keeps popping up and also "Deals" by Deal Finder. I did not change any of my settings, I only updated Mozilla Firefox and then all of these things started happening. This is very frustrating and I want to know how to turn this off. I did not sign up for any of these things, and want to be advised on how to remove them.
    Could you please advise how to stop these as I really do not want these options as I am browsing and I will go back to Internet Explorer if this continues to happen. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Thank you

    Hi Kerri,
    You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install.<br>
    Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
    You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
    1) <u>Reset Prefs</u>
    *Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
    *Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
    *Search for <b>iWebar</b> and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
    2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
    3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
    *(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
    4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

  • How to restore from back up when some files are corrupt and crash the restore?

    iphone 4 16gb
    IOS 5.0.1
    iTunes 10.5.3
    History:
    installed iOS5 back on release date. install was interrupted, likely due to high volumes. Completed install. Initial problem noted: unable to add events to calendar. Then problem progressed to "Voice Memo" app crashing. I installed "Quick Voice" app as an alternative. Problem progressed further to an unexplained increase in "other" content on iphone. Last week I tried syncing my phone and received error message that I didn't have enough space to complete sync. Noted then that "other" content was around 5.4gb! Removed "voice memos" playlist from selected playlists to sync under music tab and noted that other content dropped to 4.5gb
    Synced the phone and noticed that it appeared to move through the sync process faster than usual. Sync showed "audio" content and "other" content to be the same size at about 4.5gbs.
    After sync was completed I disconnected the phone and looked at the content of my phone. No apps, No music, No photo albums! SMS texts, Notes and Contacts still all intact on phone.
    Tried multiple solutions including restore to fix the problem. Each time, when the phone is plugged in and mounted in iTunes, it shows audio content at 4.5gb and other content at 4.5gbs yet the phone itself has no music, no apps and no photo albums. It does still have pictures in "camera roll", though.
    After trying many suggested solutions, I gave up and went to Apple store to see the Geniuses (Genii ) They did a firmware update and reset my phone. I was advised to restore from back up. However, when I tried to restore from my back up, it would fail to complete. Unable to restore from back up and sync attempts fail.
    The only data I really don't want to lose is my text message history, my notes and my voice files from "Quick Voice" app.
    Restoring from back up is not an option since I believe there are corrupt files in the back up. So what I want to know is can I restore my phone as a new phone, and then re-install my text message history, notes and the sound files from the "Quick Voice" app? Perhaps using a 3rd party app to retrieve those particular files from my back up and copy them to the phone directly? Or can I create a new back up file and copy those files to the new back up file. Hopefully I would then be able to restore from the newly created back up successfully since the likely corrupt files will be in the old back up file?
    All other information; apps, photos, music and contacts can be re-installed from iTunes.

    Sigh....
    And it just keeps getting stranger! I just disconnected the internet and opened iTunes on my Mac. It opens just fine when disconnected from the internet. iTunes crash seems to be caused when it's trying to connect to iTunes store????
    Really need help!
    1) Why is iTunes crashing when connected to internet?
    2) If I am unable to restore from my back up due to corrupted files within the back up, how can I preserve my text messages, notes and "Quick Voice" app files?

    How can you just back up photos with Time Machine. 2000 of them

    I am a photographer and trying to backup my photos. I would be using Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0 , 1TB.
    I am very computer illeriate so please dumb it down so I understand.
    Hook up the Seagate drive (don't use their software) to the Mac and a TimeMachine window should appear, click yes and let it work for hours until completed. Hook up occassionally and it will backup your entire boot drive.
    If you need to format the drive, open Disk Utiltiy in your Applications > Utilities folder, click on your new drive on the left and Partition, 1, Option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled as the format and click apply.
    You should get another external drive, this will be your storage drive for a duplicate of all your photo's.
    Connect it to the Mac, format it the same way as above, then you need to drag and drop your photo's to it.
    If your photo's are in iPhoto, then inside your Pictures folder is a iPhoto Library, drag and drop it onto the icon of the external storage drive every time you want to make a backup.
    The first time you drag and drop, it will copy it.
    The next time you do it, it will ask if you want to replace the iPhoto Library with the new one.
    If your sure you want to do this, then say YES.
    If you want to make multiple dated backups of the iPhoto Library, double click on the external hard drive icon and it will open into a window.
    Use the Finder > New Folder and you can click on the name and change the type to date, then drag the more recent copy of iPhoto Library to that folder.
    This way you can have more than one copy of the iPhoto Library on the external storage drive at the same time as they are in folders. This way you can create a archive of dated photo's.
    Good Luck, and take a class or have someone teach you about basic OS X user interface.

  • Time Capsule backs up every hours and takes 1/2 to back up, it slows down all funtions on computer to a crawl.

    I have the time capsule with the ethernet cord running from it, this is the way my husband set it up. In the last month, when time machine backs up it takes forever and then repeats itself every hour. I can't get anything done because it slows everything down, or I am unable to open applications. I read in discussions what to do and have not had any luck. I checked my speeds: download 10.58pbps and upload 4.85 mpbs. My husband pays for preminum cable for fast service. I don't know how to fix this issue, or perhaps I don't know how to ask the right question. Can anyone help?

    This is a hard one..
    With Time Machine turned off, what speed do you get using a speed test service to the internet?
    Remove the TC and connect directly to the cable modem and check the speed.. if the TC is slow as a router, then there is some issue.
    I see you are on SL.. did you update the firmware on the TC to 7.6.x recently..
    There does seem to be some bugs in the latest firmware for some people. I would downgrade the firmware back to 7.5.2. I would also check if the TC isn't almost full. That hugely slows things down.
    Do a full factory reset and redo the setup.
    Otherwise I think it can be worth getting a different wireless router, and simply bridge the TC to use for backup only.. I think that is what I would do in your situation.

  • How to invoke a stored procedures every hour? How to Cron ?

    Hi. I have written a stored procedure using PL/SQL and it needs to invoke every hour to reset certain value. My question is how to cron or to invoke the store procedure every hour? I'm using Oracle 9i database.
    Please advice if anyone of you had came acrossed this scenario.
    Thanks.

    As Kevin suggests, you can use cron to schedule the job, but you probably not be able to just use sqlplus on the command line. When a job is executed through cron, it nly gets the environment information that is in the global .login procedure, and nothing that is in your own .profile. In most cases, this means that that you need to call a shell script from cron, and set some environment variables. You can do this either by calling your .profile file, or by setting them explicitly.
    Another thing to consider in using cron is that the command line used to start SQL*Plus will be visible to anyone who can log on to the UNIX box. For this reason, we run all cron jobs that execute SQL using an externally identified Oracle user.
    Your minimal shell script should look something like:
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    export ORACLE_HOME=/your/directory
    export ORACLE_SID=yoursid
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    sqlplus -s username/password @/path/sqlscript
    or alternatively
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    . ~/.profile
    sqlplus -s / @/path/sqlscript
    Make sure that your sql script ends with an exit command to close SQL*Plus.

  • My mouse becomes impaired when time capsule starts backing up (every hour); anyone hav a remedy?

    My mouse beccoommmmes impaired when time capsssule starts backing up (eevery hour). Is there a remedy for this?

    UPDATE:
    I think I've found a solution.... Though I'm a bit reluctant to post it already because I'd really like to see if it works over time... Anyway, here is the interesting post I found by Mr. Caliostro:
    ... sure, go into your Airport Utility application, inside Utilities inside Applications. Click on Manual Setup when your TC appears in the window. Click on the Wireless tab. You will find a pulldown menu there called Channel. Select your channel & Update your TC settings. I set mine to channel 1 to try it, & it made a tiny improvement. How close is your TC to your mac? Does the interference reduce if you ove further away? Perhaps swapping from 802.11g/n to 802.11n or vice-versa, may help? (depending if your setup can work on 11n-only). Perhaps switching from 2.5ghz to 5ghz or vice-versa may help? both 11n & 11g can work at 5ghz as well as 2.5ghz... Let me know how you go!
    I set the 5GHz channel to 48 and the 2.4GHz to 1. Of course I changed these settings completely randomly since I don't know anything about these things but it actually seems to work pretty fine! No more sluggish mouse during Time Capsule back ups!

  • How do I stop my iPod touch from backing up every time I connect

    Hello all,
    Every time I connect my ipod to my mac book it does a back up, which can take quite some time if I haven't connected it for a while. It has only been doing this since I upgraded to 2.0. Is it necessary? can I back it up manually? How do I stop it?
    Thanx,
    JBN

    During the backup process, you should be able to click on the little X at the top of iTunes, where it shows the backup process progression. This will stop the backup. From there, your sync will continue.
    However, without a good/recent backup, if you had to restore your iPod, you would lose all of the settings/notes/etc that had been changed or created since your last full backup. You will want to let the backup complete every so often to make sure that you have a good one on hand that you can use if you need it.

  • How to stop from asking about Missing Clips?

    Whenever I start Premiere Elements 8, it asks me to locate some missing clips (I deleted them from my machine as I no longer need them).
    If I choose "skip all", it proceeds into Premiere, but the next time I start up, it asks me again!
    How do I stop Premiere from asking me about missing clips?

    ATR,
    You are 100% correct. From the OP, it was my understanding that these files were not going to be used in this Project. If they really are, then they need to be retrieved (from backup, hopefully), or by re-Capture, as they have been deleted from the HDD.
    Your methods should help in the future, if such media files are really still required. Some do not understand that the Project file is NOT a repository for media - it is only an XML database of links and instructions. This ARTICLE goes into more details on that.
    If I am incorrect on these deleted files still being required, I do hope that copies of them exist elsewhere, or that a recovery program, like Stellar-Phoenix, can be run, before the HDD space gets overwritten. I hope that I am correct.
    Thanks for the warnings and for the instructions on how to handle things, in the event that the files ARE still needed in the Project.
    In my exampe above, one can see the Video usage column. In the OP's case, these should be empty, i.e. no numbers present. If they have ANY numbers besides them, they should also appear as Off-Line, and then the OP needs to get those back and in a hurry.
    Here's a look at that Video Usage Column:
    Good luck to the OP and please let us know exactly what the state of these files is, regarding your Project.
