Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

I have a jailbroked iphone,and it seems that it has some viruses how can I remove them from my iphone?

You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

You need to delete Bitdefender from your Mac. It will cause you nothing but problems.
Removing Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
The best way to prevent malware from being installed on your Mac is to enable Gatekeeper.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

This is for imessage - go to settings - message - send&receive and start a new convo - remove or uncheck the apple id.

My ex girlfriends I phone has same add as my sons I pad and he keeps getting her texts come through how can that be stopped

How do I stop my ex girlfriends text going through to my sons I pad

That's not enough. Sign out of the Apple ID entirely. If you stay signed in, then since her phone number is associated to that Apple ID, unless she signs out of the Apple ID on her device, the association remains.
Sign out of her Apple ID entirely, then sign in with a different Apple ID.

Occasionally, when I try to do a Google search, numerous "opening search" pop-up windows appear. I cannot continue typing in my search until I've closed all of these pop-up windows. How do I stop them from EVER popping up again?!

They are small pop-up windows. When I start entering in keywords to search, ever so often, these things pop-up and not just one. Many of them. Popping one upon another upon another upon another. I cannot enter anything new into the Google search box until I have closed all of these windows. And, commonly, numerous ones of them will pop up again when I enter in the next letter in my search.
This is what it says in the pop-up box:
Along the top it says in the light blue margin "Opening search"
Under the above and in a white box it says:
"You have chosen to open
[a Windows symbol] search
which is a: application/json
from: https//www.google.com
Then on the outline of an inner box, it reads "What should Firefox do with this file?" and it gives the following options:
Open with ["Browse" button]
DownThemAll!
Save File [This one is checked as the default]
Then a check-off box with the text next to it: "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.
Under that is an "OK" button that is gray and cannot be checked and a "Cancel" button that can be. I have never done either but used the "X" in the upper right corner of the box to close out this window.
Now I see I have limited options for "This happened" for frequency. It isn't every time Firefox is opened but it is FAR more frequent than "A few times a week". More like several times a day.

What is a "short code" and how do I stop them from texting me?

I started getting texts from what is apparently a short code in December. Now I am getting them daily.
I really need this to stop. And yes, I tried replying "stop" and that hasn't helped.

This sounds as if it is related to an app you had installed and then un-installed but are still receiving push notifications. This is sometimes how apps are able to get push notifications for their apps. The app signs your phone up for texting notifications to let the app know when there are updates, such as posts or status updates. Sometimes when the app is un-installed, it does not correctly remove the notification procedure. Sometimes the app does not correctly intercept the text which is what it is supposed to do before you get the notification that you have a new text. These do not normally show up in your text log and you are not charged for them.
You may have to call CS to have this stopped. You can also check online for other methods as one example of a quick google search for "short code 6250"

HT1535 I Do NOT want to download items from my library. HOW do i STOP them from downloading, and NEVER downloading again?

I have gone in and "hidden" the items. But I have a very large movie, and a large translation program, that I Do NOT want on my phone (OR on my computer), but every time I open iTunes, it automatically starts downloading both these items. (plus all the apps, that I NO Longer want on my phone).
I don't care if the items are hidden. as long as they STOP downloading, every time i turn iTunes on.

When you connect your phones to iTunes, select your iPhones and then click on the app button and simply select the apps you want to have on your phone.
You can also delet the applications you dont want by simply opening applcation in iTunes and then deleting them and moving them to trash.

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

My mail application is constantly recovering the same email over and over again. OSX 10.6. How do I stop it from doing this?

I had tried to send a mail earlier today and my email provider had issues, apparently.
While it eventually went through, the message I sent is being eternally recovered and rerecovered, filling the "Recovered Mail" folder with hundreds of copies of it.
It's an IMAP account and was working fine before today. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
-J

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

I stupidly signed up for a dumb application ... my bad ... now how do I stop it from printing?

I have the B210, and wish HP had put more effort into better design and printing function that useless stuff. Anyway, I signed up for an app not realizing that it would print whether I wanted it to or not. I deleted the app from the printer, and cannot find any means of stopping this waste of paper. How do I (a) completely eliminate apps from the printer so it never shows again; and (b) stop this thing I signed up to receive? Yeah, I'm dumb and angry. Thanks HP.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
I assume you have signed up to a Scheduled Delivery App,
Cancel the subscription by logging the HP ePrint Center:
Always cancel your subscription before removing a scheduled delivery print app from your printer. Log onto ePrintCenter and select the print app for which you wish to cancel the subscription. Click on “Setup,” then “Update Settings,” then choose “Cancel scheduled delivery.” This will cancel your scheduled delivery.
Please let me know if that helps

I keep getting blank pages...how can i stop this?

Samsung S3 LTE UK. Android 4.1.2.
With various websites I get a blank page when they load... If I switch back to the home screen and then back to Firefox, the page is displayed ok.
It seems like a screen refresh problem and is annoying.
Is this a known problem? Is there any solution?

Try removing Firefox and deleting any settings/files along with it. Then go to the Google Play Store and download/install it again with default settings and see if that helps.
I've had this issue on an Android Phone before and this solution worked for me so hopefully it will fix your issue as well.
Best of luck!

I am using 10.7.4. How can I stop Preview from saving versions.

In Lion, 10.7.4 Prieview was changed to use Versions. This means the previous options of SaveAs is no longer available.
I want to be able to open a file in Preview and SaveAs (now Export) my changes, without having Preview then save those changes in the original file when I close the window. I know that I can use Revert to get back to the original, but is is time consuming and annoying to have to do so. How can I stop Lion from using versions??

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.
