I accidentally downloaded a website for coupons and its toolbar keeps popping up? I want to completely get rid of it on my internet. How do I do this?

I accidentally downloaded a website for coupons and its toolbar keeps popping up at the top of my internet window. I went to the toolbar options and unchecked it but when I get back into the internet it is up again. I want it completely gone so that it doesn't even have a chance to be seen. I don't want it. How do I get rid of it?

I would start off with Firefox's Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then look for unwanted extensions and try the Remove button.
If the Remove button is missing, this usually means the extension was installed through the Windows installer. In that case, check for it in the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Clicking the "Installed on" column header will bring the most recent additions to the top for easier spotting.
After you get rid of it, assuming you can remove it in one of those two ways, I suggest "mopping up" with some malware removers. This article lists tools that other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Any luck?

After the most recent update for my Wndows 7 computer, every time I load a page I get a Java script error message. How can I fix this?

The pop-up window states Error: Syntax error. This happens on almost every page that I load. It's also happening on my windows xp laptop... and it seems that it has something to do with the most recent Microsoft updates that just went through.

hello Kakkirox, this error message is likely caused by your social fixer addon. please go to http://socialfixer.com/blog/category/releasenotes/ and update it to the newest version - this should fix the issue...

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?
i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Check website for changes and send message

I maintain several websites for others and would like to use a script to check to see if any of the files have changed in the last day. In other words, go to http://www.mysite.com and if the date modified property of the index.html file is equal to today, then send an email to me. I'm familiar with AppleScript enough to send the email message but am kinda stuck on how to accomplish the checking the date modified aspect of the files on the remote Unix server.
Is this a job that AutomatorAppleScript should handle? Or would something else be more effective? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd probably look to use RSS, if you're maintaining the web sites. That's what an RSS feed is set up to do.
If you're looking at a web site that's based on a content-management system (CMS), those usually have RSS options or features available, and those also often have databases that can be queried. Scraping is, well, ugly and resource-intensive, and best avoided. But if you have to...
The following is mostly Terminal.app Unix-level stuff...
If you want to look at the lower level (the hard way), then a tool such as cURL would be one typical tool.
cURL is installed on OS X by default.
Flags:
-z/--time-cond <date expression>|<file>
-I, --head
rsync can provide a completely different approach here. With rsync, you can synchronize a local cache of the files with those on the remote servers.
AppleScript is an excellent choice for scripting OS X GUI applications. But if you're not doing that, then a bash script, or Python, php, or some other scripting tool or scripting language would probably be my choice; those are better suited to your particular task. As for some of these other tools, Python has a pycurl library, php has a curl library, and bash can call the curl utility. These are all web-centered languages, so poking around via HTTP is standard fare. And each has other approaches available. I'd expect there's a scraping library or three around, too. This is hardly a new or unusual requirement. There's the Python scrapy tool, for instance.
details: man curl, man rsync, or the available bash or Python or Perl documentation. And bash scripting is cryptic, but it's a gonzo powerful tool. Among the TLDP guides are an introduction and an advanced bash shell scripting guide.

Ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and then the macbook started to glitch! WHY????

Hello,
I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and after 20 minutes work in the Autocad my macbook pro with Retina display 13 inch (OSX 10.9.1) started to glitch.
Then I deleted this program from mac, but it is still glitching. When I am moving windows, the picture on display is just breaking and after few seconds it is ok. Moreover, the Multi-Touch Trackpad's three, four finger function is also glitching.
Did it happen because something wrong with my graphic drivers which could be replaced by the AutoCAD
Please help me with this!!!

Reinstall AutoCAD and relaunch teh program. AutoCAD leaves the GPU in a bad power state in Mavericks, which causes problems.

Are you trying to RUN or SAVE the download?
Make sure to choose SAVE.
Also, are you current on all your windows update packages?
And what is your internet connection - is it wireless, or wired?

FPGA programming for motor control using free downloadable IP cores for PWM and Quadrature encoder interfacing

Hi,
I have a cRIO-9014 with a NI9505 DC brushed servo drive module, and I would like to program the FPGA for PWM and Quadrature encoder interfacing using the intellectual property IP functions mentioned in the "CompactRIO Motor Control Basics Tutorial":
Quadrature Encoder dX Method (FPGA, Use in SCTL).vi
Pulse Width Modulation (FPGA, Use in SCTL).vi
I made a search at ni.com/ipnet but I couldn't find them.
Where can I find free downloadable IP cores for PWM and encoder blocks to include them in my FPGA interface program?
Thanking you in advance,
Manuel

Tried to download Font General for Facebook and Firefox prevented the site from asking me to download. Is it a "bad" program?

I was searching for emoticons on Facebook....and a link came up for Font General ...to use different type fonts on Facebook. I clicked on the download for FireFox and a small box popped up saying "FireFox has prevented this site (www.fontgeneral.com) from asking you to install software on your computer. There was a button that I could click to ALLOW....but I wanted to know if there was a possibility of the program being known to be unsafe.

Firefox only comes with two sites pre-approved to install add-ons, because add-ons have full privileges and you want to be pretty careful about which ones you install.
The warning you got was a general notice. As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't test or even try to keep track of add-ons that don't come from the official add-ons site.
Facebook and web search would be good resources for further research.

You will need to upgrade your MacBook OS to at least 10.5.8 or preferably Snow Leopard 10.6.X

I had a iphone and downloaded a (paid for) app and now looking for it to put on my ipod..cant find it now to replace the app it is showingit costs $14.99.

Usually if you press buy it then it will pop up a screen saying you have already purchased this item, would you like to download it again. You can also click on the purchased tab in the app store on your iPod provided you are using the same apple id that you use on your phone.
