I am totally frustrated with Firefox and would like to know how to uninstall it. I am getting obscene pop-ups, and when I ask for specific information, other unrelated information pops us. I have had this for one day and don't like it.
Additionally, I cannot find my address book listed on any toolbar. I also put in the address for a site that I have previously gone to and get a page that says that the address can't be found. The address is that of a library. I am not pleased.
I currently have a pop-up from Wal-Mart that I cannot exit. It will NOT disappear no matter what I click. I will have to close down the computer totally to get rid of it.
Thanks.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

If you can't fix it with the above listed scanners then you need to ask advise on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the <i>Popups_not_blocked</i> article.

Does anypne know how to fix the missing MSCVR80.dll file? Ive reinstalled itunes several timessysystem restores. Ive tried everything I can think of . Been sitting here all day and nightHELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

I don't know what happen I just found out there is a slight crack on my screen and I want to know how much It will cost?
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. Price depends upon model and capacity. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

It did not come with the original discs, and I bought it for the fact that it came with certain programs already on it. I do have the snow leopard os disc I bought to update my older macbook, but don't want to lose those programs which I bought it for.
Then you need to obtain them from the seller. It is illegal (according to Apple) to sell Macs without the system discs that came with it.
You can get replacement System Discs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

I am unable to back up my ipod touch, I try and do it manually and it sits on "Backing Up.........", it has been sitting on this all day. I am on the free 5GB plan, availabe storage is 2.3GB, any suggestions
Hello mig04,
While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
General troubleshooting
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
Cheers,

I cannot hear my phone ring....I have the volume full throttle and the vibrate is off. I cannot hear the ringtone. Is there anything I can do. My only other thought is that it might be the case. It is comparable to an OTTERBOX.
Use the side control and make sure your phone isn't on mute, flip the switch up.
also try removing the otterbox. -
The only reason I keep tiring to get this browser to work is I cant seem to get all my bookmarks and other setting to another browser easily, but i'm working on that also....
It is easy to transfer the bookmarks to another browser.
But firefox should not keep freezing, certainly not over the last year ! I have firefox on an XP and not really noticed any long term problems with it freezing.
See
* for transferring bookmarks to another browser [[exporting bookmarks to an html file]]
* to keep up to date with any problems [[latest firefox issues]]
* [[firefox hangs]]
* [[firefox consumes a lot of cpu resources]]
*[[high memory usage]]
Firefox hangs gives an extensive list of possible problems and solutions. May I suggest you work through that and post back with more info about when it hangs,and what you have now tried. Today is a good day to ask questions there will be a lot of people trying to provide answers today.
Do you get problems mainly on specific sites such as those with video content, or whilst background tasks are running such as downloading, disk indexing, updating or virus scanning. -
I trying to access music in itunes library?lease advise.
An iPod Touch that your dad found is not YOUR iPod Touch. As indicated, it should be turned in to the police, in the jurisdiction where it was found. Note that if it's up-to-date, it will be unusable if you don't know the original owner's Apple ID, even if you wipe it. Plus, if it manages to connect to a wifi network, the owner could track its location and get the police involved himself. This is not something you want to fool around with.
