I only use Safari but keep getting a message saying I need to update MS Explorer
How do I stop getting pop-ups saying MS Explorer is out of date? I only use Safari. The pop-up started a couple of days ago and comes at irregular intervals. It seems to appear only when I visit certain websites, but I am not sure about that. At any rate, when I leave the pop-up, it kicks me out of the website I was visiting. I have not downloaded anything as I fear it might be Malware, especially since I've had my IMAC for several years, it is up to date according to the "Check for Updates" and I have never gotten this pop-up message before.
Hello again Carolyn,
I have waited several days now and the problem has not returned! While cleaning up my Cookie Folder, I deleted anything I didn't recognize including some caches and that seems to have solved the problem. To be sure, I have not finished cleaning up the cookie folder yet - I only got through the files that began with C.
Thanks for the link - it pointed me in the right direction.
By the way, I never downloaded the so-called Windows Explorer Update and that may be the reason why the problem was fixed.

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.
Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

When you try to change your county, you might see one of these messages:
You have an active iTunes Match subscription; you must cancel it before you can change stores.
You have at least one incomplete pass. Passes must be complete before you can change stores.
You have rentals that have not expired; they must expire before you can change stores.
You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.
You have one or more pending store credit refunds. You must wait a few hours for these to complete before you can change stores.
You are part of a family. You must leave the family before you change stores.

Tried to open my old MacBook. Couldn't remember password. Followed suggestion to reinstall hardware. Now startup disk is stuck in computer and it won't turn on. I keep getting a message saying I need to restart the computer. When I hold down power button, I get the same message over and over. Any ideas?
Hello m.goo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
To eject the Disc, hold the Mouse button down, (or what passes for it on a Laptop), while powering up, if you also hold the Option key down at the same time it should eject & give you a chance to insert your install disc & wait for it to shw as a Boot option.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, APPs, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Keep getting a message saying I need to format disc in F drive...
Hi,
I'm a computer dummy and have a Toshiba laptop Satillte A505 that has recently starting driving me crazy. For the last four days, I keep getting a message box that pops up repeatedly saying I have to format the disc in the F drive - and there is no disc in any drive. I have no idea what it is talking about.
The boxes pps up one after the other, just seconds apart, and by the time I'm done using the laptop, I have to close 20-30 versions of the box all stacked up on one another. That's not to mention the annoying "bonking"noise it makes every time the box pops up.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this problem?
ThanksTry using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5. I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.
This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
9. install Safari and restart
And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store. I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia. -
It's pretty simple, I get the above message.
I can think of two things that might cause this. First, if a web site's scripts only look at the first digit of the version number, 1 appears to be lower than 9. Such sites should fix their scripts. The second is if you have disabled JavaScript (either globally or for a domain relevant to that site), you may get erroneous messages about plugins not starting, which is because the script didn't run at all.
Can you provide a link to a site or two that has this problem? (Family friendly sites only.) -

OK, i've read through a few threads and seems that some people have similar problems as mine, but none of the solutions presented have worked for me. I have an iMac with 10.6.4 and the scan function on my HP PSC 1510 AiO will not work. I can plug it
