IChat AV Configuration Window Keeps Popping

Fellow Mac Users,
*Every time I logout or reboot the computer, when I log back in iChat asks me to re-setup the AV screen.* I essentially have to type my name, and then click next/OK several times (bypassing the Jabber setup and camera test screen) and then it goes away and the buddy window opens.
Since I have iChat set as an auto-launch application thru the login items in System Preferences, this is quite annoying.
Also, once I'm logged in and do this once, I can quit/re-open iChat with no issues, doesn't ask again.
So, I wanted to see if it had something to do with the auto-launch, I removed it and rebooted. When I logged back in and chose the iChat icon in the menu bar and said "Available" the icon went dark with no problem. But, when I tried to initiate a chat or open the buddy list, boom - problem happens again.
The weird thing about it, is that it remembers my AIM user name/password (yes, using AIM user name not .Mac), and buddy list just fine. It's just convinced that I need to re-setup the AV part every time - as if I'm reconfiguring the iSight.
Anybody else have this problem or know how to get around it?

The "save as" window keeps popping up randomingly while browsing, WHY?

Literally every few minutes the pop-up asking to "save as" and it just keeps popping up to save the web page. There is nothing wrong with my ctrl and S button on my key board and I cannot figure out why the save as window keeps popping up. I've done a virus scan and there is no negative results. What's the next logic troubleshooting step?

Does it affect some sites more than others?
If you use the Foxit PDF viewer and have PDFs configured to save to disk, maybe it's related to this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927458 Foxit Reader spews a lot "not a PDF" on some pages].
One standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the misbehavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the annoying messages go away, this points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem. Now the challenge is to track it down!

New message window keeps popping up

The new message window keeps popping up without prompting, usually twice in a row. I notice
this particularly when I first open the Mail program. The funny thing is that you can't actually type in any text in the new message window. Any ideas???

It seemed to work itself out after several days.

Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

Hi all.
I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance
MadDogSnaps

Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?

MobileMe should be uninstalled. See note 2 of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.
Then, 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.

What version of iPhoto do you have (9.0 is the original version from a couple of years ago - you should be way past that - at least 9.1 - probably 9.2 - maybe 9.3)
Download the 9.1 update and install - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322

New windows keep popping up in Safari

I have turned off Extensions and Blocked Pop Ups but windows keep popping up in the back with ads for the past week?
What else can I do to stop these?

ArtySD
Pesky pop-unders! Since I am on a vintage Pismo, there will be many here that may have better advice for your system and Safari version.
I use Firefox with and add-on that doesn't exist for Safari - but there are reports of others for Safari that I cannot recommend, only point you to.
AdBlockPlus may not be supported in your Safari version, so I won't even link to it.
GlimmerBlocker seems popular and appears safe as it doesn't really alter Safari at all, but uses a proxy server
http://glimmerblocker.org/
You will find lots of results by Google-ing " safari pop-under " - stay away from Softonic, etc. download sites though. Good practice to download from the developer's website only.
You'll find something I'm sure. If not, give Firefox a try.

Adode window keeps popping up.

Adobe window keeps popping up asking if I wanted to install adobe ready. It's already installed on my computer. When I click "Cancel" it closes all my running applications. Any idea on how to correct this problem?

What is your operating system?
Can you post a screenshot of that pop up window?

Nag window keeps popping up even though we paid our subscription over 3 weeks ago

After trialling creative cloud for a few weeks & being very happy with the system, once we actually paid and the trial period ended we have not been able to use any of the programs.
The nag window keeps popping up, which asks us to sign in. Once we sign it it asks for a serial number which we don't receive with creative cloud membership.
Is there a fix for these issues?

Kartikay,
I have tried the steps you recommended and I still have the same issue.
I an using a mac running OS X 10.8.3, I had no problems during the trial period. We paid for our creative cloud membership on 20/03/13.
I have tried deleting all adobe applications and reinstalling, as well as downloading and running the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool as suggested on one of the Forum posts.

Extenstion update window keeps popping up; I have loaded latest version of Firefox as prompted to no avail

extension update window keeps popping up when I am in Outlook email environment; I have loaded latest version of Firefox as prompted to no avail

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
