I was looking at a tanning website today and then I logged off and went to eat lunch. When I came back, I got on Facebook and on the side were ads for tanning. What do I do so that this won't happen? I feel like something is wrong. I have heard Macs don't get viruses, but I still have Norton Virus Protection. What is this and how do I make it not do it again!
On another note, my trash can all of the sudden started asking for my password when I move something to it. It is extremely annoying when I want to delete more than one thing. Is there a way to make that not happen too? Thank ya'll!

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You'll need to buy another, there is no support or warranty for an Apple TV with unauthorised modifications.

I tried to rent a tv show today and discovered the rent buttons are gone. What Happened to them?

Apple removed TV show rentals, citing lack of customer interest (ironic, I know).

I have to log in every 5 minutes, what can i do to so this won't happen again

when i opened for example my hotmail account, when i left the account for a few minutes, i have to log in again. everytime this repeats. Also with other sites where i have to login. How can i get an other situation, so i would not login so often?

This has now cleared up for me, I don't know why. Maybe Apple has fixed it? I did "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, but that didn't fix it immediately. It cleared up shortly after that, so maybe that had something to do with it. It's a mystery!

How come my Ipad suddenly doesn't want to connect to the wi-fi anymore? The server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, my ipad lists it as available, but says it's impossible to join.

the connexion wi-fi was working fine. Suddenty, the server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, I had no trouble using the internet on my laptop, but myIpad won't connect. The wi-fi is listed, but it says impossible to connect. I tried turning off the ipad, but the problem is still there.

Go through some basic troubleshooting steps.
Settings>WiFi>Off, restart the iPad and turn WiFi on again.
Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your home network name>Forget this Network, Restart the iPad and then try to join your network again.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Restart the iPad and try to join your network again.
Finally, you can try rebooting the router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

Have you tried redownloading on computer and syncing?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

I just downloaded a new software update on my I-phone5. As part of the process I was asked to sign in to iCloud and enter the password for an ID that I've long ago deleted with Apple. Anyone know why my new apple ID isn't coming up,

No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

Unless the iPhone was purchased as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
Regards.

I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, deleted the app and downloaded it again and the same thing happened every time. What should I do?

Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software active (e.g. Little Snitch), that could prevent the installer from contacting the Apple Servers? If yes, turn them off. Also, disable the Energy saver, to prevent the Mac from falling asleep and causing time outs.
Sometimes it will help, to run the installer in Safe Mode, see: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

I went on a trip and when I came back almost all my ipad apps were gone(I suspect my dad). When I went to go look at my account it was as the same as the ipad, it had none of my other games on there. How do I get my account back to how it was

I kind of ran into the same issue when I checked my purchased apps on my iPad in the iTunes store. A bunch were not there. I then looked at iTunes on my computer and again, a bunch were missing. I realized I had not synched in quite a while. Once I synched everything was ok. As the poster above said, iTunes knows you have already purchased them so you can redownload for free. However, be aware that when you do red own load you will be asked to pay again, just say ok and the next popup will say that you have already purchased the app.
Lesson I learned - synch more often. Boy, I can't wait for IOS5......

??? I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software. When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library. What should I do?

I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.
