I keep getting notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the popup) that "Joe Smith has Unfriended" me. I cannot find this app in Firefox to remove it. Mac OS

Firefox 28.0 Mac OS 10.9.2
I keep getting small pop-up notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the pop-up), telling me that "Joe Smith [insert name of one of my Facebook friends there] has Unfriended you." It only stays on the screen for a few seconds and disappears.
Oddly, none of these people have actually unfriended me in Facebook. Facebook does not send Unfriend notices. I know there is an app for Firefox that does this, but I cannot find any trace of it in my Firefox Applications list and I do not recall installing it. Nothing with "Facebook" or "Unfriend" in my Firefox app list. (Someone else in the household may have installed it, but they are not talking. ;)
I searched my hard drive for "unfriend" and "Unfriend" and found nothing.
At this point, it is an annoyance, but it bothers me that something like this could become malicious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

You have an add-on called Lost Friends Notifier. That seems like the likely culprit. Try removing it from the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category.

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos? I do nto care about anythign else.
Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciated

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

Friend,
When you set a Gmail account you just need to enter your email account and password. It is impossible you enter the right information but it says "wrong". Double check it.
If you mentioned "iPhone ID" as your Apple ID, you can find it going to Settings>> iCloud. Check if you already sign in to. If not, sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you haven't created one, you can do it there.

How can I get a free adobe reader to open the files that my instructor has sent and listen to her feedback

Any Ideas?

Hi tpcruiser22,
Did your instructor provide PDF files? You can get the free Adobe Reader for viewing them from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
And if you want to "listen" to the files that your instructor provided, you can activate Read Out Loud in Reader by choosing View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Out Loud.
Best,
Sara

I keep getting mail from Apple about validating my account and now I need to sanitize my email. Is this a hoax as they want my credit card details

I have been receiving email supposedly from apple asking me to validate my account. I ignored as I thought they were a hoax as they wanted me to verify my CC details. Now I'm getting mail saying I'm transmitting virsus mitting viruses and I need to verify my credit card details.?? Is this real or hoax as it also saying if I don't it will lead to permanent deactivation immediately. HELP

It is absolutely a fake. Do not, I repeat do not, respond to these emails in any way. You can report them to Apple if you wish:
[email protected]
but there's little or nothing they can do about such scams so it's probably not worth the effort and you can just delete the fakes.
Regards.

That is strange, sheltonrt.
What kind of an error?

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

I have Safari 5.1.10 Browser and keep getting notices to upgrade from my bank. What is the best upgrade?

I have Safari 5.1.10 Browser and keep getting notices to upgrade from my bank. What is the best upgrade?

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Stop answering calls with blocked numbers. If it's someone who really wants to talk to you, they'll leave you a message and you can call them back.

I keep getting emails from Apple support about changing my password.

I keep getting emails from apple saying someone is trying to reset my password when I have not done such a thing. A couple days ago after the 4th email I decided to reset it myself just incase. Now im still getting a email from apple stating that someone is trying to reset it.

Apple do send out an email if you change your password that is genuine
You could change the password to see if the emails are genuine or phishing by getting a genuine email from Apple
No way otherwise if you cannot tell if they are genuine or otherwise

Keep getting dropped from my server

Why do I keep getting dropped from my server? We have 3 computers in our house - all on our wireless router - I have the only Mac and I am the ONLY one experiencing this problem! After using the internet for any length of time, if I let the computer set idle for a short period of time, a window comes up saying Safari cannot find server! This will happen everyday - ALL DAY - and I'm really tired of restarting my computer (which can't be good) I have looked at other FAQ and I saw where someone else was having this problem but when I tried the downloads that was recommended to them, it came up that my computer did not support that download (or something like that). Anyone have any suggestions????

I have the same problem as you, I found that disabling the IPV6 setting and resetting the PRAM helped a bit.
How does it work on your Macbook, on mine if I leave Network Diagnostics open flickers on and off constantly.

Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.

I am on a wireless network. Why do I keep getting messages from iTunes stating that I am not?

I am on a wireless network and keep getting messages from ITunes stating that I am not on a wireless network. I know the wireless is working. Itunes will not allow me to rent a movie until i get on the wireless network of which I am already on. Help.

I just bought two song without problem, then i tried to get the video of the week (free) in canada and I had the same message as you.
the video is just over 50 MB, which is the new limit for file size for App on IOS over 3G and LTE.
I tried on my iPhone same thing. I even put it in the Airplane mode, and then activeated the WiFi
with the same result.
I then bought another song, smaller than 50 MB and it worked.
My video is not listed as Bought, and it is not available in the "Check for available downoload"
Did any of you had tried to buy something under the size of 50 MB ?
Try the free song to see if is it seize related.
