Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

Firefox will ask for the Master Password on startup if it is needed on a page. 
This can be Sync or a web page that is (re)opened automatically and you have saved a name & password for this website.
You didn't confirm whether you are using Sync or not, so I don't know which of the two would apply.

My Iphone5 power button seems to be permanently pressed. It will think that it is being held down even though I am not touching it and also turn the screen on when I am not touching it. Very hard to use the phone. Any ideas?

There is no rhyme or reason to when it does this. Sometimes, it will be fine for a few hours. Sometimes, I can't use the phone as it exists out of apps automatically and consistently comes up with the "slide to power off" screen. It's draining the battery. Apple replaced my screen a few months ago and the problems have only occured since then but they have got progressivly worse. Any ideas before I take it to the genuis bar and get told it's going to cost me an obsence amount of money to fix a problem I haven't caused? No water damage or droppage on the device either and I have a thick case on it. Case doesn't affect/help the problem as well.

Hi jemerrifield,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your external display being used with your Mac Pro is flickering along the top of the screen. I completely understand how this can be frustrating, especially for being a new computer. I would however like you to follow some troubleshooting steps that will also help determine if the issue is with the display you are using, cables, or the Mac Pro.

On my ipad I have an iCloud Back-up alert that will not disppear, I am unable to use the ipad as I press OK and it won't do anything, any ideas???

Try turning off the iPad, or pressing the home button.

Help! In the middle of using an app my ipad1 will shut down and return to my homescreen. Also while using Pinterest, the images will disappear and it will have to reset my ipad to return to using the app. Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Any suggestion on how to fix the problem or what the problem is...would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there,
Here are my answer to your questions.
1) What's causing this problem -- me, software, or hardware?
Depends are you listening or playing those songs online ? This Can be caused by Software or Hardware. but based on your description it sounds like that this might just be a driver issue
2) How can I avoid it? (work-arounds)
Reinstall SOUNDCARD DRIVER or get a faster internet connection ( For streaming musics )
3) How can I eliminate the problem completely?
Reinstall the soundcard driver, or get a faster internet connection ( For streaming musics )
4) Is there any way that the sound and internet are actually related problems, or are they just coincidental?
Soundcard and Internet will be related to each other if you are listening or Playing those songs online. Since it needs to buffer first before you will be able to play the whole song completely without cutting off.

I found an IPod and wish to contact the user using the SrL No any ideas how I do this, the IPod is locked.

I found an IPod and wish to return it to the owner. Anyone know how to get the owner dettails from the serial number?

Sorry, but there is no way you can get owner information from the serial number. The best route is to turn the iPod into your local police department.

Hompage is redirecting to ask Jeeves even though I keep setting my preferred homepeage in the options window - why?

I have just upgraded to firefox 4 - now every time I open it it defaults to the ask jeeves search page as my homepage.
THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING
I have tried to reset to my preferred homepage using the options window - however, it still does noot work and seems to defualt back to the ask jeeves site when I re-open firefox.
Is this a known issue or is there a fix for this?

Yeah how do you get rid of ask.com from Firefox
It seems that ask.com has joined the Mozilla Firefox partner program which has added ask Jeeves into the latest version of Firefox.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/partnerships.html
I found some files on my computer which were from ask.com referring to co-branding, but even though i deleted these files from my computer it is still in my browser.
There was no notification of this during the last Firefox update, so unless i can get rid of it, it will be time to change browsers.

You don't update itunes on your phone, you update itunes on your computer.

When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

Please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "''Copy Link Location''" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.
I turned my phone on this morning and instead of the pattern lock that I've been using with this phone since I purchased it, it is now asking for a PIN that I do not know.
I contacted Samsung but they told me that my carrier would be able to reset the PIN for me remotely. I've been trying to find a way to chat with Verizon support but it keeps sending me to self help troubleshooting. It was so easy to get a live person on Samsung support, how do I get a real person on Verizon?
Thanks

Thanks deb2too, I'll keep the number for future reference. I was able to unlock the phone via https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

HT201272 Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?

I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

Did you fail to import them to your computer before restoring?
Not good.
They are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

HT204291 Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
Thanks

When I load certain websites the the writing is all squashed up. I correct this by changing the character encoding setting. I am using the latest Apple Mac machine. Thanks in advance

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

i have installed photoshop elements 12.
when I try use the editing features it said that i must login to Adobe to register the product.
but each time i try to it said there is a problem.
help
the problem stated that the internet is not connected, but that is not the case.

I had the same issue and I'm running Windows 7. Tried working with technical support for several hours but they were no help. They just had me doing the same things over and over, offering no real answers. I finally got fed up and have decided to return my product for a full refund.

I set my preferred homepage using the help directions, but each time I open mozilla, it reverts to the Mozilla searchq. Any ideas?
