I am getting auditory popups that interfere with what I am reading or listening to. How do I stop them?

I will be listening to a local radio station that is streaming or reading something in the news on the Internet and there will suddenly be an auditory broadcast that interferes with what I am doing. They are short snippets, but MOST annoying and I want to stop them. How?

I have downloaded the add-on and the popup blocker was already in place. It is too soon to tell if it works but I will let you know in a few days.
One additional piece of information...I am getting a pop-up (despite the blocker) that asks if I want to download a JScript File from http://tag.admeld.com. I have not asked for this and I have responded to "cancel" but I suspect that this is where the auditory pop-up is coming from. The file is "meld.js"
I believe that this happened once before and despite clicking "cancel" an auditory ad ran while I was listening to something else.
If this is coming from one source, I'd like to block it....Suggestions are welcome.
A later comment... I have not gotten any auditory popups in the last few hours, but I keep getting the above "meld.js" popup. I assume that this is a Java Script program but I have not requested it and would like to know what it is and why it is coming up over and over again.
Please help!
A still later comment - no change despite disabling popups and adding the add-on - I am still getting auditory popups and getting something asking me to download "meld.js"
Is there anyone out there who can help?

You possibly set up an auto-renewing subscription with the app - there are instructions on this page on how to manage them, including how to stop them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

How to get rid of ads that interfere with my use of a website

Whenever I go to Youtube and eBay, there are ads on both sides of the screen that interfere with my use of the websites. They hover over the play buttons and pictures. I thought these were part of the websites until someone told me that it doesn't happen on their computer and that it might be adware. This only happens on Youtube and eBay and they are physically part of the webpage, not a popup. How can I get rid of these? Running Snow Leopard and I use Firefox as my browser.

Here, to show you what I'm talking about. The ads on the sides don't actually show up until a few seconds after the page has loaded and it seems that they constantly refresh. On Facebook it does this too, but the ads don't actually interfere with my use of the site. However, it will redirect me to another site when I'm Facebook.

How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this? I can't find the place

I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

[Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, triple-click the following line of text to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy (command-C) the text to the Clipboard. Then select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar and paste (command-V) into the box that opens. A Finder window may open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If so, delete the selected folder.
Select Go to Folder again and enter:
/Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items, if they exist. You may be prompted for your login password.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the folder. Now select Go to Folder one more time and enter:
/Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item. Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I am told that the version I have(9.3), is not compatible with the os. But it came with it when I upgraded. What do I have to do to get an iPhoto that works with 10.9.5? TIA

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5 on my 15 " macbook pro from os 10.7.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I get the message that it is not compatible with the os. How can that be??? It came with the upgrade. It says the version of iPhoto is 9.3. How do I get an iPhoto that works with os 10.9.5? TIA

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

I keep getting a popup that redirects me to candy crush and ultimately the iTunes Store. How do I get rid of this?

I keep getting a popup that I can't close and then redirects me to play candy crush. How can I stop this?

Not sure I follow this. I was attempting to upload The Google Docs app, and Candy Crush Saga appeared on my apps home screen. No matter what I do, it won't go away. I can't get to the home screen any more, and I can't upload any other apps.

Thanks. My computer is updated. When I plug my iphone in, it does not pick up my iphone to sync and gives me the message indicated above.
I cannot sync my new iphone with my computer.

iTunes places the .ipsw file here:
OSX:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
7 &Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your computer. There should only be one, but delete all that you find. Next, disable ALL firewalls & security software on your computer. Connect your phone, iTunes running & restore from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone.
This will force iTunes to re-download the .ipsw file, as I suspect yours is corrupt.

When I try to turn on my 27'' iMac I get a circle that appears with a line through it does this mean my Drive is shot?

Not necessarily. We use a product called Scannerz to test hard drives. They have a book on hard drive troubleshooting that you can download here:
http://scsc-online.com/Downloads.html
Scroll to the bottom of the web page and download the Hard Drive Troubleshooting book. You won't want to read the whole thing, just the section describing your problem. Most of the stuff they describe in their "advanced" section requires unit disassembly, and the way that section is written I think they're assuming people know how to take units apart without any instructions - in other words it's not written "for the rest of us." Most of the resets they describe that you might need can be done by anyone.
If you end up buying Scannerz, I would NOT recommend Scannerz-Lite, I'd go with Scannerz with FSE-Lite. It costs about $14.00 more but they keep enhancing the product and adding more applications to it, all free if you own Scannerz w/FSE or FSE-Lite. I'd also avoid FSE all together unless you know a fair amount about the operating system, files, processes, Unix type path names, etc. etc.
If you're lucky that will end up being nothing more than a reset.

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.
