I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me
I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, you have installed malware by clicking on a pop up ad.

When trying to logout, I keep getting "the application safari canceled logout" even though I am not in Safari. This only recently started happening and I'm wondering if it is a setting issue or bug. Can someone tell me what to do?
You don't have to be "in" Safari for it to cancel logout.
You have several different Applications open, and any one of them may cancel logout if conditions are just right.
Quit the Applications you are no longer using and your Mac will run better and faster. And it will logout instead of cancelling. -

So I now have my daughter's ipad. I have changed it to my ID but in iMessage it needs me to delete hers and then a warning that all her
Apple ID's will be deleted ( Macbook, iPad, iPhone, etc). As her ID is her email this is a problem. She also uses her email for business.
When sending iMessage I get it back to me and she also gets my messages and I get hers as well.
Even though Ive changed the Apple ID it does not seem to pick it up on iMessage. Any help would be great. Thanks.
CecelleI had the same issue with my iPad and my husband's. I THINK it was caused when I activated his new iPad with his new apple I'd while signed in in my iTunes account. Anyway, somehow the database got all screwed up. My I'd, his password, his birthday day month and day but my year..... Big issue. Also I had a lot of paid apps I didn't want to lose.
Tried iTunes support with no response from them for 3 days. I finally went to the Apple store and the guy there was able to get on a chat with someone who had access to the database and could see all the data and changes. It took about an hour of changes to get it straight. I told the store employee I had considered just creating a née I'd etc. And after all we found that would have made matters worse.
I suggest you make an appt and go in and have them fix it correctly. Having worked in IT and with databases for 25 years or so I can say this is a bug in their system. Obviously they never created a use case for this type of customer screwup. The motto of any business analyst is "if the customer CAN screw it up they will". The store employee said he had run into this 3 times last week but that mine was the most complicated.
Good luck. -
I use Firefox with Windows 7. I use tabbed browsing, and the tabs show at the top of the page. At the bottom of the page, where the Firefox logo is displayed, Firefox will randomly open a second window with advertising. This is a Firefox issue because it says Firefox at the top of the new page. Pop-ups are disabled via Tools>Options>Content. Pop-ups also are disabled on the Verizon Security Suite.

MY IPHONE 4 which has been working perfectly well has developed a fault on calls.
It will make calls OK and they can hear me perfectly but I CANNOT HEAR THEM AT ALL.
I have checked all the settings and cannot see anything wrong, can anyone help please!!Thanks for answering me. I tried what the help page said but still no luck. My son jut told me that his phone (same as mine) did the same thing and then resolved a little while later. I guess I might just have to wait and see.

I like the new Firefox 8, but I don't like that I can't access my old toolbars... My United MileagePlus Shopping toolbar is inaccessible and I can't get my yahoo toolbar back. I really want this ability. What happened? Also, I notice that a error message appears when I have more than 3 tabs open at a time. It states that there is too much internet memory being used. What is that?
TO "the-edmeis..." who answered my question and helped me solve the problem.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have learned so much from your answer. I knew nothing about safe mode. Anyway, it was an extension causing the problem. Firefox 3D tab manager. I don't even remember choosing to try that out, and I have no idea now what is "3D" about it. ... I'm sorry I accidentally clicked the wrong solution on here as having Solved the Problem. It isn't apparent how to change it, IF there is a way at all.
I greatly appreciate your help. Thanks again. -

How do I listen to a track on youtube, whilst accessing a different link for the lyrics? each time I try, the music stops as soon as i clic the next link. this never happens on MS Explorer
Hi ..
Flash is required for most YouTube content.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, go back to System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced then click Check Now. There may be a Flash update available. -

How to upload pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone
How to upload all my pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone
If you want everything copied over then you can copy your iTunes downloads over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then backup up your old phone via File > Devices > Back Up - you can then restore that backup onto your new phone (or iPad as this is the Using iPad forum).
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Transfer content to a new device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 (you can also backup/restore via iCloud, but not all iTunes content is redownloadble, so you might not get all items copied over). -

In the past few weeks I have been experiencing popup audios. They are annoying and I would like to block them. I am using Firefox as my browser. Any ideas?
Hi Lowell,
I don't know if you have the popup blocker turned on (nor if it works for audio), but if not, try it: Firefox menu > Preferences > Content > Block Popups.
