I keep getting pop ups to enter apple Id and password

I keep getting pop ups to enter apple I'd and password

Do NOT click on popups or webpages offering updates to Firefox.
You appear to be posting from something other than Firefox (Internet Explorer ?)
Are you able to post a screenshot, it is probably a scam.
* [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] <br /> (Please use a .jpeg or .png type compressed image; not some massive high resolution bitmap)
(Note AFAIK Firefox is soon to start a campaign to upgrade outdated versions but even that will be through the ordinary Firefox interface not through popups)
Please see
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • Keep getting 'unidentified error' when entering apple id and password

    Can anyone help.
    Just trying to upgrade to Maverick but when it asks for my apple ID and password I get a message saying unidentified error. All details are correct and double checked.

    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it?  I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything.  I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.

    I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it?  ( I was in the keychains folder on the password link when i pressed delete). I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything.  I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.

    Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

    You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
    Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • HT1766 I have an iphone 5 and I keep getting pop ups asking for my voicemail password and it is so annoying.

    I have an iphone 5 and I keep getting pop ups asking for my voicemail password.  How do i get rid of it?

    Contact your carrier and have them re-set your voice mail password. Once they do, you should only have to enter it once. Then you won't be prompted again.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

  • Virus for macbook pro warning.  ran software and didn't detect anything buy i keep getting pop ups

    You Mac does not have any viruses as there are no viruses for MacOSX. What you have a malware scam. Did you download MacDefender, or MacProtector? To get rid of them, open activity monitor and look for the process MacDefender, or MacProtector, double click the process and force quit. Go to system preferences to accounts, login items and remove MacDefender, or MacProtector by highlighting it and hitting the minus sign. Go to your applications folder and drag MacDefender or MacProtector to the trash. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender or MacProtector trash any related files. Do the same with a Spotlight search, it is the little magnyfing glass far top right in the menubar. Lastly, go open finder, select your user folder, go to library then loo in aoplication support and remove MacDefender or Mac Protector from there, close that folder then go to preferences and remove any preference file for MacDefender or MacProtector. Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting pop ups saying that my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and I paid 3 times. Can I just download the programs rather than pay a monthly charge?

    I keep getting pop ups that say my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and i paid 3 times. Can I just buy a download instead of paying a monthly subscription?

    We often find this happens when the wrong software gets run (so the subscription doesn't apply).
    So,to start with  what exactly is your subscription for - please check your account details and confirming email?

  • I use MacIntosh, system 10.5.8. But I keep getting pop-ups . I have tried to install Firefox and it responds saying it is not compatible with my systems architecture. What should I do to stop the pop-up?

    I use G4 MacIntosh, System 10.5.8. I keep getting pop-ups asking me to upgrade my version of Firefox. But when I try to install I get the message that Firefox cannot operate with my computers architecture. How can I stop the pop-ups?

    I believe Firefox 4 is Intel only. That means it will not install on a PPC Mac. You can get TenFourFox, which is made for PPCs.

  • I keep getting pop ups from spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else.

    I keep getting pop ups from your spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else. It is extremely annoying.

    Mozilla Firefox does '''not''' support/endorse/encourage spyware advertisers.
    If you think these popups are from spyware advertisers, you should try to scan and remove the spyware from your system. This article has more information on how to do that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Spyware_on_Windows Spyware on Windows].
    In future, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus Adblock Plus add-on] to block such ads.

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.
