Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

I got pop ups saying my Mac had a virus called the number on the screen Fast Fix 123 and believe I was scammed

Hi I there I'm concerned that I might have been scammed. Have any of you ever call the 1-800 number that pops up saying that you maybe have a virus? In event I let this company Fast Fix 123 attempt to fix something that may not even need fixing.

If you permitted these scam artists to access your computer, you should consider it compromised. If possible restore it to a point prior to them accessing and controlling your computer. If you used a bank/credit card to pay these scammers, consider it compromised, and contact your bank for details on how to best deal with that aspect.

I have a Nvidia Galaxy GT 610. The driver keeps failing, what can I do about this?

I have an Nvidia Galaxy GT 610, and the driver keep's failing on me. What can I do about this, I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the driver, and I keep getting the same thing. I am at the point where I am going to buy an other card. So if any one can help, that would be great. Peter.

Hey ,The best thing to do would be to take it in to you nearest Best Buy and have the Geek Squad take a look at it. Obviously getting yours to work the way it is supposed to is the best option but if they can't, at least you can get or order a replacement easily. There wouldn't be any charge just to have them look at it and if there was work that they could do to get it going they could tell you what it would run you before doing anything.

Same problem as well as the network failure. Apple Care was suggesting a full reinstall and I declined. I thought it worked once but I can't be sure ... it might have been Skype which works perfectly.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

I have upgraded my itunes to 12.4 on my windows xp service pk system and it doesn't recognize my ipod half of the time and won't sync it! What can I do about this?

I have upgraded my itunes to 1.4 on my windows xp service pk 3 system and now it won't recognize my ipod and let me sync it half of the time. What can I do about this?

It's not a "Reset" (except for the Reset of the iPod and possibly powering off the computer). It's meant to be a test to see if there might be interference between connected USB devices, or if the total power draw of all connected USB devices is too high for your computer's USB bus. If it always works when the iPod is the only connected device, but only sometimes works when you connect it with other devices, it may be one of those issues. When it works, the set of connected (or active) devices is OK.
If this is the case, you can go through a process of elimination to determine which device or combination of (active) devices causes the problem. NOTE: If one of your devices is an external hard drive that gets power from the USB port, power draw may be higher if it is currently active (spinning). Also, the power draw of the iPod may be higher when it is charging its battery and/or syncing.
Or are saying that the connected USB devices does not seem to matter, but doing a computer shut down always makes the iPod connect immediately after startup, but then the problem returns later?

I forgot my passcode on my iPad and it was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this?

I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
