I can allow pop-ups from certain sites in Tools/Settings, why then can I not also block pop-ups from certain sites since Firefox doesn't always manage to block them?

Whenever I visit, for instance, merriam-webster.com an ad from groupon invariably pops up in a new window.
OK, so Firefox does not manage to block it although I have this option checked in Tools/Settings/Content.
But why can I not enter the URL of the groupon ad and manually block it?
I can allow pop-ups from sites of my choice in Tools/Settings/Content, I think I should also be able to block sites?

    Hello.
    I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop.  I had my computer off a whole day.  I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
    Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
    You have two computers?
    iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
    Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
    Yes, that tends to delete everything.
    Or you restored everything from a backup?
    Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
    Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Make sure you are signed in.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
    Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

    Hello JinxUK,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel.  I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
    “Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
    Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

    I recommend saving that link so that you can check back for a resolution when it becomes available.

    I've followed instructions to remove problem, still exists, how do I get Iphoto to open?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

  • Why don't the notes inside each contact sync from my Outlook on my laptop to my iphone

    Why don't the notes I create inside an indiviual contact sync with my iphone?

    I'm not certain why they are not syncing. It can be addressed in a couple of different ways. You could reset the sync history and see if that helps. There is a way to add a note to a contact in the iPhone by going to edit for a contact and then scroll to the bottom and select "add field" and select note. If you already have a note added, it should appear below the contact's information and above the buttons for text message, Facetime, etc.

    Emails are being received and the sender says there is an attachment but no attachment can be seen.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Anyone know why TV shows are not importing back into iTunes from my backup file?

    My whole library was backed up on an external hard drive.  Something happened to my library on iTouch and everything was gone except for most recent purchases.  Also had new computer so downloaded iTunes again and went to import from my backup files.  Music imported but most movies, music videos, and all TV shows did not.  Also tried dragging files from backup folder to iTunes to copy but still did not work.  Anyone know how to fix this??

    iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
    If your backup/restore includes the library files then information that isn't stored in tags, such as playlists & playlist membership, ratings, play counts etc. is preserved. Video Kind (Movie/TV Show/Music Video) is a property that isn't always stored in the tag. If you had restored the whole library (database files & media) then there would have been no need to import anything as you would have restored the database complete with all its information about your media.
    See this User tip for a recommended backup strategy.

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • I cant send tiscali e-mails from my ipad2. All settings seem correct, can anyone help?

    Hi,
        I have tried setting up my Tiscali account on my Ipad2. I have spoken to a TalkTalk advisor who talked me through the set up. To test the settings she asked me send myself a mail (ipad to laptop and vice versa). This worked, however, I tried sending a friend a mail and she did not receive anything. This is starting to annoy me now.
    Can anyone suggest anything that I could try?

    Is there a copy of the email you sent to your friend in the SENT folder? Did you receive a copy of it in your INBOX? You should if you have it set up to do that - Settings, Mail.... always Bcc myself.
    Try sending another email to someone else eg., [email protected]

  • HVX Footage from FCP into Pro Tools Settings

    I just finished editing a 16 minute video shot on the Panasonic HVX at 720p24. I exported the OMF and a QT video, but our sound editor can't get everything to sync up right. The FCP sequence plays the video at 23.98 and the OMF audio imported at 24 fps.
    When I open the video in QT Player, the frame rate says 23.98, but the playback frame rate is 24 fps.
    We have tried several pro tools setting and the video never syncs up properly with the TC Window burn.
    Our sound editor is using ProTools LE.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm going to cut and paste the reply my audio guy sent me:
    "It is most likely that the Pro Tools system or version being used does not
    support 23.976. Yes, 23.976 shows up in Pro Tools as 23.976 -- not 23.98
    23.976 was not supported in Pro Tools until version 6.4 and above. I am not
    an LE expert but its possible that LE or older versions of LE do mot support
    23.976.
    Also, 23.976 does not work with a non "HD" Pro Tool Hardware when used in
    conjunction with a USD sync interface (such as the older Mix or Mix plus
    hardware). This does not relate to LE but is might be good information
    anyway. In the case of the "mix" generation of hardware, you can free run it
    against Quicktime. if you sycncing to video tape you can hotrod older
    hardware to run in 23.976 by syncing it with the newer generation sync
    interface -- replace the USD interface with a Sync I/O interface and using
    word clock as sync instead of Digidesign video "superclock." In that case
    you need to be on version 6.41.cs4.
    One workaround would be to create a 29.97 Non Drop Frame OMF, which will
    sync up with time code that will match number at every even second and will
    not drift. I don't think you can easily translate the frame rate of an
    existing FCP sequence, but you could find someone who can open it as 23.976
    OMF in Pro Tools and translate it to 29.97 ndf or import the track from the
    23.976 session into a 29.97 ndf timeline. In Pro Tools, its just a flip of a
    switch convert a sequence to a different frame rate."
    Just as I figured...his version of ProTools might not support 23.98.

  • So, I just purchased, apple TV and the latest Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I can mirror my IPad and Iphone with no problems, so why is the icon not showing up on my top bar like all the youtube tutorials?

    why is the airplay icon not appearing in the top bad like all the tutorial videos?

    I assume that you did not check before buying, if you had you would have seen that your Mac is too old for Airplay Mirroring to work:
    Supported Macs
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    And if you bought ML solely for that function you should remove it from your machine and get a refund.
