IMac OS X 10.9.4 Safari Pop Up
Hi Everyone,
Was hoping that you could help me in troubleshooting the Safari Brower Issues. Recently today after restarting my computer, I have noticed that there has been pop ups like crazy happening in my Safari Browser. The Pop Up Blocker in my Safari settings is enabled but somehow it is getting passed it. As well, I noticed that even when I am in Google searching, there are all these other adds within google that pop up that haven't before. (Safari Power Saver, Dyanmic Pricer etc) I have had this mac since August 2008 and have never had this issue however 6 years later having issues. Is there any kind of software that you recommend that can do a scan of the computer to see if there is any virus? I have already called into apple but paying 60 bucks for 30 day phone support with no guarantee to fix is an absolute last option (Student with lots of debt) Any information would be greatly appreciated!

We have an imac with os10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10 we have been getting messages that some site no longer support 5.1.10. I am concerned about upgrading, as we had trouble with a previous update with our bank. I checked with the bank and they are suggesting waiting, but other sites like youtube what the upgrade. Has anyone had problems with the new safari? Our imac is pushing 8 years old, but we are not ready to replace it.
Upgrading from 10.6.8 to a newer OS has implications for many Mac owners. Lion (10.7) ended support for software that was originally written for older Macs that used Motorola processors. Owners who kept their software current had few issues upgrading to Lion when it was released but a lot of people suddenly found they had software that wouldn’t run any longer.
Another thing to consider is the age of your computer. A 2007 or 2008 iMac can run Lion fine and even Mt Lion (10.8) but Mavericks is a reach. It was Mavericks that prompted my purchase of a new iMac in late 2012. Given that you say your iMac is pushing 8 and you don’t want to replace it yet, don’t consider upgrading beyond Mt Lion. You won’t find Lion or Mt Lion for sale at the App store but I believe that you can still purchase them by contacting Apple directly. -

on our iMac, we keep getting the message "safari has quit unexpectedly." It used to happen occasionally, now it's almost every time we start Safari. Help!
Can you post a copy of the crash report?
Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it to post it here! -

How can I disable the following Safari pop-up:
"Are you sure you want to send this form again?"
I am a seller at Amazon and have opened and closed Safari three times over the last 5 years because of that pop-up. When editing my listings, I need to back space three times each one is completed and this pop-up really slows things down. It does not happen at Mozilla or Internet Explorer but I need another site to work on a specific project. I really like Safari but not with this annoying feature.There is an extension called Safari AdBlock that may work for you.
It's located in the Productivity category in Safari > Safari Extensions...
Very hand as you are aware. you can toggle the extension on/off easily from Safari > Preferences - Extensions. -
PiCked up a virus/malware please help me get rid of it. While browsing with Safari got pop up saying I won a prize. Click OK to find out what I won. Did not click Ok, but cannot close Safari without using forced shutdown. Powering down computer and restarting then selecting Safari brings up same prize window. Just installed Trend Microsoftware for Mac. It's scanning now. Don't think it will work.
If I open another on same iMac everything seems ok.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksI am also running Lion and had the same problem: a persistent popup on top of a half-opened Safari window saying that I had won a prize and should click OK to claim it. If I forced Safari to quit, the same pages and popup menu would appear when I then reopened Safari. From what I can tell, the problem results simply from the fact that Safari in Lion defaults to auto-reopening web pages that were open when Safari last quit, including those suspicious pages that may have prompted the user to force-quit Safari in the first place. I solved the problem this way:
(1) After force-quitting Safari, I went to my user Library folder and found the Saved Application State folder within. I then found the folder for Safari (com.apple.Safari.savedState), opened it and deleted its contents. Now the next time I open Safari, there will be no pages to auto-reopen.
(2) Since this problem could happen again, I decided to disable the auto-reopen feature in Safari. I did this by highlighting the "com.apple.Safari.savedState" file and choosing the File-->Get Info command, and then in the Get Info box, I turned on the Locked checkbox. This prevents Safari from adding any files to this folder.
This solution has worked well for me, and it has the advantage of not requiring the user to reset Safari. It also preserves Lion's auto-reopen feature for all other applications.
I need to give credit to David Pogue for the information I used to solve this problem. He describes this procedure on page 169 of his book, Mac OSX Lion, the missing manual.

Safari pop up alert telling me to call a support number
My kid was doing a bing search for 'bmr assignments' for something he has to do for school that was suppose too direct to his schools website to read some articles and he got booted out to a error page saying it could not open page http://www.google.com/search?client=clients&rls=en&q=sds&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" And then it says because the browser can't connect to the server www.google.com. And then tells me to call toll free 1-800-798-8393. The pop up that won't go away no matter how many time I click ok says..... Is this legit???? How do I fix this

In that case, you should consider your computer to have been compromised. The people who had control are scammers, and they may have done all manner of things, including installing keyloggers or leaving back doors into your system. The only possible way to fix this is to erase the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch. See:
How to reinstall Mac OS X from scratch
If you gave them a credit card number as well, you should report this to your credit card company.

Can't stop random safari pop-up/wordpress widget
I am using a 2009 iMac running Mavericks. This problem happens several times daily. If I'm using Safari, a tab pops up and a web page is displayed, all blank white except for the message "no hotlinking please." If I'm not using Safari, Safari opens up and displays this. I don't even know what it means! The title in the tab says "wordpress.com widget"
I was unable to post the screenshot due to content, but I found one someone else posted to Yahoo Answers here.

Every now and then I get a pop up in safari on my ipad, just a small box saying:
http://topappleapp.info
Top Apple games
Free download now, the last day!
The only option I have from here is to click ok, which then redirects me to the App Store to a Bingo Bash app. I Anzac obviously just close this and go back to safari, but the website I was on then disappears and say 'Loading, please wait' but nothing loads. Refreshing doesn't help, neither does the back button.
This has always happened on the same website as far as I can remember - just a site I use for recipes called onegreenplanet.org. I have used this website so many times without any problems, but it is very frustrating when this happens.
I have turned on the 'block pop ups' (which was actually already on when this was happening), cleared history and cookies, then restarted but still get the pop up. Any ideas???I have this problem on an iPad 4 (7.0.4) with Safari, tried 'Block Pop-ups' (was already on), 'Clear History', 'Clear Cookies and Data', restart iPad; all to no avail.
There is something about the sites you are visiting, I'm consisitantly getting it for twitchfilm.com, but not others.
Doesn't happen when I navigate to the same site with Safari on an iPhone 5S (7.0.4), or from Safari on an iMac (not surprisingly as it is a link to the App store). I haven't tried using another browser on the iPad.
It is very annoying and has effectively barred me from visting this site due to the reasons given above. -
Hello!
I much prefer Firefox to safari! I have an imac and I also use gmail. I tried to send an attachment document from my computer while I was in Firefox from Gmail. It would not do it and I could not close gmail nor close Firefox to try to start over. Tried this 2x. Force Quit and everything. I then started up in Safari and all went well. Is Firefox somehow less compatible with Google and gmail and Apple then Safari? I am assuming Apple and Google are separate companies but sometimes one wonders?? So what can I do to make a smooth attachment from my Imac to gmail attachment in Firefox? I really prefer Firefox it loads better and less spinning wheel. I think a lot of people agree with me. Please help!! We must have alternatives to Safari and Firefox is the best as far as I know...Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Can't Disable Safari Pop-Up Blocker
I'm using Safari 5.1.7 on my iMac's OS X version 10.6.8 system, and am unable to get the pop-up blocker disabled. I enabled it a few days back to see the effect, and found that some of the sites I depend on did not display certain information that is useful to me. Now I can't disable the pop-up blocker. I've cleared the enable checkbox for the pop-up blocker in Safari > preferences > security, as well as making sure that Safari > Block Pop-Up Windows is deselected. I have also restarted the computer after selecting those options. All to no avail. I still don't receive many of the graphics that should be presented by the websites.
Thank you for any help you may offer.I found my problem! While fooling around with the machine, I had unchecked the box marked "Display images when the page opens" which is found under Safari > Preferences > Appearance. Putting a check in that box got the pages to load with everything viewable.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
