I don't know where these new pop-up program windows are coming from, but if I don't learn how to stop them , I'm quitting Firerfox!!

Recently, these full program windows have been popping up everywhere! They are annoying and rude! I have the "Pop-ups blocked" in the options section, so how do I stop these?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • I fried by hard drive and I would like to know if I can retrieve my programs and/or data from my time capsule. If so, how do I go about doing that?

    I need to retrieve my iTunes, tax receipts, and critical documents. Apple inadvertantly sent my hard drive to be destroyed so I've lost whatever is not on the Time Capsule. My mini would do automatic backups, but I don't know how to transfer my information to a new computer from the Time Capsule. Appreciate any help.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • HT1751 This was extremely helpful, however, all the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook.  My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?

    All the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook.  My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?
    My original library exists on my old computer, so I could still transfer it.   Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated - thank you!

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

    I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

    Hello hueycat,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music.  To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network.  I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
    On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
    iPhone
    With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
    Select a shared library.
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4557
    If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to figure out where non-deallocated objects are coming from?

    When running the instruments program and checking the "net" box on the left side, is see that as I run my program the counts for various object types keep increasing. As my program is a simple one where the user is going from page to page, I will assume that these increases are the mark of a memory leak. The system is not detecting these as leaks but certainly my block count should stay more or less constant. I see that I am leaking some CGImage blocks; how do I find out where in the code these blocks are coming from; how to I go the line of code that create a particular block?

    Instruments has plug-in tools. Which tool are you working with?

    We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges.  I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

    You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it
