I have attempted to change my home page a number of times but it keeps going back to a Bing/Google search page (set up by eSnips). Where do I got to get rid of this home page that keeps poping up every time I open Firefox?

I had downloaded something from eSnips and likely I missed the "set my home page" check box. So when I opened Firefox, I ended up with this eSnips "Google/ Bing" search page.

After trying many of the suggestions found online I found that the only thing that worked was to completely uninstall firefox and re-install it again!

I was looking up Olympic stats on Norwegian website, and must have inadvertently clicked a link. The dialog box says: "There is no application set to open the URL nasjoner:2"
It goes on to tell me to search the App Store , choose an application, or cancel.

How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How can I get rid of a system dialogue that keeps reappearing?

Ever since the latest system update, when my Apple TV goes into the slideshow mode, a dialogue box keeps popping up. It briefly disappears when the picture changes but I can't get rid of it permanently. It reads:
"Wirelessly send what's on your ios device or computer to this display using Airplay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay. (1) Choose Wi-Network [name of my local Wi-fi network appears] (2) Choose this Apple TV."
I assume that the numbers 1 and 2 are options but no action I take on the Apple TV remote or the Logitech universal remote I use clears the dialogue.
How can I eliminate this dialogue? It really defeats the purpose of the slide show!

Same issue for me. I've updated the Conference Room Mode, but now when I start the slideshow it goes back to the Apple TV Menu? Any advise? Thanks!

How can i get rid of the "macshop " ads that keep appearing on my browser, as i keep the bobups blocked and cookies of third parties and advertisments blocked as well

Lately every time i open my browser Safari Version 7.1 on Macbook pro with retina display IOS X 10.9.5 i keep getting these ads from "macshop" also the pages keep directing to files fetcher and i don't know why it keep doing that although i have blocked popups

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

I want to get rid of the alert box that keeps coming up that says the server at .... is taking too long to respond

I would rather it just keep trying to connect rather than continuously pop that stinking box up. It's very annoying

Firefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page). 
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session button and the snippets then set another page as the home page like www.google.com used in Firefox 3 versions.
You may be seeing a similar ad on the Google site to install Google Chrome. 
In that case use the close X on that ad to close that pop-up and it should stay away unless local storage gets cleared.

How do I get rid of this annoying message that now pops up?

I just answered my own question. But seriously, "You are using an unsupport browser that verizon.com does not support"???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"I agree that the wording could be better. Odds are the code was written by someone that does not have english as a first language. The message *does* have to stay present until the browser is fixed, though. Otherwise people would dismiss it, then complain that some feature wasn't working. When someone said they were using an unsupported browser, they would further complain that there was no message telling them so. (As is, there are still people that scroll past the message without seeing it and still complain.)" --- Personally, I would just come back to that message later if I could close it out and honestly, I think leaving it there like a permanent fixture is really unncessary. It comes up right on top of your screen and pushes everything way down to the bottom so there is no way you can miss it. And it doesn't have to be done in such an annoying way that the message will be stuck to the top of your browser until you get the upgrade. That's ridiculous. If it just came up as a pop up message that comes on whenever you open your browser, that would still make the point just the same and wouldn't encourage me to dismiss it. Sure you have people out there with no common sense but a lot of us do. Some people are just going to complain no matter what and that's always a given.
No, issues more important to the customer. The error is worded poorly, but gets the point across. The list of supported browsers is easily accessible. The more important issues I was referring to are things like being unable to delete email or pay the Verizon bill that many people are experiencing. (Not me, personally, but then I don't get the unsupported browser message, either.) If there's coding work to be done, I vote they address the serious, service-impacting issues before they work on minor annoyances.----The error gets the point across? Not really in my opinion. Yes, you can click on supported browsers but going from saying that your browser itself is unsupported to saying that you just need an updated version of the browser is really taking the customer for a loop. I know that took me for a loop because I think that's saying two completely different things. And yes of course, email issues or paying a bill on line are important as well but I think this is just as important regardless because when there is an accumulation of messages that are communicated poorly in addition to the run around and wait time and being put on hold when calling customer service, that can really be the tipping point for a customer who has just about had it and is ready to switch to another provider. All of these providers should be taking these steps to better service the customer and to me personally, this is no different and what may be minor to a corporation is often a bigger deal to the customer dealing with it.
And how hard is it to revise the wording on an error message like that? Give me a break. For something simple that can encourage more customers to keep their service, isn't that worth it? Verizon has yet to prove to me that it cares about investing in better customer service and better communication.
I have never heard of any other provider which has its error messages worded like that taking the whole thing out of context. My services are working fine but believe me, if I had to start all over again, i.e. move to a new residence, I would not go back to Fios. There may even come a point later on where I will need to switch even while staying where I live now. Time will tell. I often don't have the luxury of wasting more time than what's necessary to resolve a problem, especially something simple. The communication and the customer service from Verizon have a lot to be desired and need a lot of hard work. If I had to grade it right now, I would give it a "D" for barely passing, just barely beneath being adequate. I think that's a fair assessment. For a provider that's getting so much of your money, it's disappointing. My time is valuable and I honestly feel that Verizon oftentimes doesn't give a darn about that. To me it's another example of having to waste more time going around in circles like the phone runaround being put on hold numerous times until you hopefully get the issue resolved.
And sure, my problem has been solved...once again after going for a loop and going for another runaround. It's not really acceptable customer service.
Excuse my cynicism but that's my opinion. For 140 bucks per month, it's not my problem that Verizon is hiring someone with poor English to write that error message. That's pathetic and who has time for that nonsense? I like the product but like I said, time will tell.

How do I get rid of an Adobe program that keeps wanting to open on my machine.

But it will not go away how do I get rid of it?

Are you sure that it comes from Adobe?
Can you post a screenshot of what you get: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.

How do I get rid of a yahoo toolbar that keeps popping up and is not on the program list of my computer?

Immediately after I updated my firefox a couple of weeks ago, the browser started to display a yahoo toolbar. At the time my husband took it off using the control panel and add/remove program function on the computer.
since this am, the toolbar has come back up. I did NOT do anything to request it, or put it there. It is not showing up on my program list, I cannot find it when I do a search of my computer. When I went to yahoo help "remove toolbar" the two suggestions were to do that or use the settings button to remove it, but the settings menu on this doesn't have that option, unless maybe I would create an account, log in, and then remove it. I don't really want to do that either.
I don't know where this came from, and don't really trust it. I would like to take it off, but can't seem to figure out how.

I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.

You should go to the Apple Store and get it checked out.
That's weird. Never heard of that one before.

How can I get rid of this dialogue box that seems to be related to Pixel Bender?

I recently installed CS6 (not the cloud) on Windows 8 64 Bit. On opening I get a dialogue box, which goes away if I click on "OK" after which CS6 loads. I reinstalled, but I still get the dialogue box. How can I fix it?

right click>click "run as administrator".
if that fails, run in compatibility mode for win 7.
if that fails:
uninstall ps cs6.
run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

How do I fix my iPod when it goes to a white screen and then grey with a dark oval in the middle. I have tried restarting it a few times but it just goes back to the same thing. It has also been doing this for two days now.

- Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again.
