I am trying to remove Conduit from my G5 running 10.5.8 It has kidnapped my homepage in Tenfourfox 17.0.7 I have searched for a solution an nothing seems to work. It is necessary for me to change the operating system to get rid of this?
I have searched for the following file and could only find one of them which I deleted. So far Safari does not seem to be effected.
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
I also tried getting rid of all versions of TenFourFox and nothing has helped.
That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
If you are running Lion:
From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the second item if it is there.
Now select Go to Folder again and enter /Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

A few weeks ago my computer had lost the connection to the wireless internet. I set it up again and was able to connect to the internet, however since then I've been receiving an error message "Could not find a PPPoE Server." I went back into Preferences and unchecked the PPPoE server option but the error message still pops up.
Any idea how to fix it?In the Network pane of System Prefences, do you have duplicate services on the left column? When you "set it up again", you might have duplicated a service and both (the good working one and the previous that lost connection) might be trying to connect at the same time.

I want to get rid of the Lenovo laptops tab that appears everytime I open Mozilla
I opened it up in safe mode, went and reset all settings back to default. I also disabled ALL add ons. Then I went to add ons manager and enabled all the ones I was 100% certain I added. In there, you will find two add ons, one is the yahoo tool bar and default tab 1.2.2. I left those two disabled and started firefox. The tab was gone. I am not sure if it connected to yahoo.com but it is from a company called My Search Results and they claim to be a company that that this is the easiet way to search. Here is the addy for their about me page: http://corp.mysearchresults.com/about-us
I kinda think it may also have some kind of spyware involved. This worked for me. I hope this fixes this nuisance. -

Reset the iPad and see if that makes the screen return to normal.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

I'm getting charged for a glitch in the Verizon system, how do I fix this?
To Whom It May Concern:
We have been a longtime and loyal Verizon Wireless customer and advocate. Up until yesterday, we could not imagine ever using any other company beside Verizon Wireless. However, we received our bill yesterday and were shocked to see it was over $800. After talking to several customer service representatives throughout the day, we were directed here.
In the past we have regularly received warnings via text and email warning us that our minutes could go over (that we understand are a courtesy) up until last month when we did not, and went way over on our minutes. We have come to rely on these courtesy texts. When they were taken away we got hit really hard. Customer service representatives have said there is a good chance that this was just a glitch... that is costing me $600 on top of our bill.
If this were our fault, we would have no problem paying the extra cost but because it is a glitch and we found text message warnings as recently as March 27th (the month before our problem). This means that the one month we did not receive warnings, we went way over. We really do feel this isn't fair.
We have been on autopay for years simply because we have trusted Verizon Wireless to take care of us and our money. This trust has kept us from going to other companies and has also helped encourage friends and family to come to Verizon. We now feel like that trust has been betrayed and a big company just doesn't care. We run a small business and understand the importance of brand loyalty. The problem is, brand loyalty doesn't work when the brand isn't loyal to their customers. If we treated our customers in this manner, we would go out of business.
Every customer service rep we have talked to has been absolutely incredible. However, this system seems incredibly unfair. We are getting punished because of a courtesy that was regularly extended and then withheld... what kind of a courtesy is that? If it is a courtesy only when it benefits Verizon and not long time and loyal customers, it really isn't a help or a courtesy. We would love to continue to be loyal customers for many years to come but at this point, we really do have to re-think things.
This is particularly hard to swallow because every person we talked to yesterday said we are paying these fines due to a technicality in the policy (the text messages are technically a courtesy) that covers the fact that there was a glitch in Verizon's system so we didn't receive this tool that we have come to rely on. Basically, we have to pay for Verizon's glitch. We do not understand how this is good customer service to stick it to loyal customers who have loved your company for years.
Yesterday we did some cursory research and another company assured us that this kind of thing would never happen with their service. They are also less expensive. We have always had zero problems with Verizon's cost because of the quality service we have received. We also have believed that the business model and leadership of Verizon is solid and other companies have cut corners to give customers lower costs. When higher costs aren't met with higher standards, it makes it harder to spend more on a company. Yesterday, in order to avoid another glitch we had to sign up for a plan that is $20 more per month. Once again, everyone we spoke to yesterday was incredibly kind and were doing their best to help. They did as much as they could and said their hands were tied by the system. But, they could not fix our problem.
The question is, who do we talk to about getting this matter resolved? We spent hours on the phone yesterday and the reps basically said we should write a letter and post here.
Please help me as we'd like to continue with Verizon and restore our trust in this company.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Robert & LaurenWow!
This similar scenario happen to me yesterday, my billing cycle began with 54minutes of peak/land line used. I immediately checked my call log and there were No calls of such made at start of cycle. Called Verizion and got a nice rep, but she was New cause she kept putting me on hold to inquire with a manager. first she stated that those minutes could've been from two months or so and are just now hitting your bill usage. Are you fricken kidding me? With technology as advanced as it is, your saying it takes that long to log a call? ** I'm not buying. So she transferred me to a Tech. Support person who was very knowledgable and assesses the problem right away as a"Glitch" in Verizon's System. He assured me someone would call to confirm the correction and reverse any charges.
What if I had not checked online my usage? Which I never do. I just happen to log in to view a new phone for upgrade. i do know if this glitch is not fixed after 15years with Verizon in 7days they will be retired from my use. It's sad to know how many other customers are being charged in this manner without knowing. If Verizon is not working effortlessly to fix or correct this problem, then it looks like a greed for profit situation. -
my ipadmini has been having a problem whenever I charge it through the mains. I took it to an authorised reseller and they said it could be an hardware issue.
After two days I went to check on it and it was able to connect to iTunes and I restored. But this has not fixed the issue. Every time I charge it, it goes off and to put it back on it would not respond unless I have my finger on home button for a long time. I have changed my USB port and even the adopter.
I have erased all data and reset it,but same problem again.
Does someone have a clue on what I should do. Because this is getting ridiculous.
Please help me.The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first... -
Send Apple your basic system information.
Apple is still waiting to receive the data. If you have already sent it from your device check again.Sorry, this is a user to user forum and Apple can not be reached by posting here.
To get your phone unlocked officially, contact the original carrier and ask them to start the unlocking process. They will pass the info on to Apple, if unlocking is an option.

Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
ThanksYou can reset the SMC and see if that helps. If it's a unibody or Retina, follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware. -
Firefox will not open at all. I tried to remove it from the programs to try to reinstall it but it wont let me remove it. So I tried to download again anyways and ff still wont open. My email is alicia@****
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
Click OK
