Is the pop up window that asks if you want your Mac cleaned up really from Apple?

We have been receiving a lot of pop up windows whenever using our new Mac and it always asks if we want to clean up our Mac and then the box says "Continue". I am very suspecious of this and cannot find out if it is for real and don't want to select it to see what happens. Can anyone help give info on this? From looking at other discussions, apparently others are also receiving this. Thank you, Noel

Of course not, and it probably comes from an application called MacKeeper, which is useless. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
OS X has got its own maintenance scripts to keep your computer work correctly, so there's no need for cleaning apps.

Can you bypass the window that asks if you want to open or save attachments? I always open them the same way.

I would like to be able to turn off the window that asks me if I want to Open this file or Save it. I get many attachments from the same place and I would like to be able to bypass this window, as I always do the same thing -- open it.

Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
Below I have two choices:
_Open with (choose)
_Save File
So I go to choose and pick an application.
So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Window that asks if I want to leave page

Quite frequently while surfing on the web and I go to leave the page I'm on I get this pesky little window that asks me if I'm sure I want to leave this page. How can I keep this thing from popping up because in most cases I have to click on this thine 50 times before I'm able to leave the page. It's very, very annoying.

You can try a bookmarklet like this:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:void(document.onbeforeunload=null);void(document.onunload=null);void(window.onbeforeunload=null);void(window.onunload=null);</nowiki></pre>
JavaScript code can't be run from the location bar anymore, so you need to create a bookmark with the code pasted in the location field.

How can I turn off the pop-up "Help HP Design Products You Want"? (8600 printer)

The pop-up window "Help HP Design the Products you want" keeps returning every 5 minutes all day long
regardless of how I respond to it! Can this be turned Off?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What printer are you using?
What OS do you have?
Does it give a program name when it pops up, or does it just give you that message and a couple of options to choose from?

I keep getiing the pop up window that says its not a safe site...for EVERYTHING..including your site!!

EVERY time I click on a link or try to navigate to a new window I get the window that says the connection is untrusted.
Firefox cannot be sure the connection is secure. I have to click on two separate buttons (which open page extensions) to finally get to where I am going. I also have to assign the new window a certificate???? This just started Firefox. How does this get fixed? Otherwise I will go back to Explorer.

Some security software intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.
Some examples are ESET and Bitdefender.
*ESET setup -> advanced setup -> extend web and email tree -> SSL
*SSL protocol: Do not scan SSL protocol
*BitDefender -> Privacy settings -> disable Scan SSL
Check the connection settings.

I have chg my apple I'd, but it hasn't chg when I try to update my apps, what do I need to do to get it chg on the pop up screen that ask for your password?

I have changed my ID, but when I go to update my apps my old ID is still there, I have verified my new ID and signed in using it but still showing on app update sign in which is stopping me from getting update, what do I need to do to get it to change?

Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account ? If you updated your existing account then logging out and back in on the iPad usually 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

HT1175 "In the pop up window that appears, enter the password for your AirPort Time Capsule."

And where is that?

Thanks for your effort, Bob. But I havn´t even "set up" yet. I just started. And the instructions talks about "password" as well as the responds from my mac, but I do not know where to find it. It used to be, on other machines, on a label at the cover.
Nowhere can I read "you will find the password ...". And I have tried all the possible codes from the label but nothing works. // GL

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

How do I save the open tabs when I close Firefox 5? There should be a dialog box opens that asks if you want to do this. Without it I will stop using Firefox.

This was available in earlier versions and was a great feature. Please restore it or give us a workaround.

It seems that they decided to disable this feature by default for some reason. In your address bar, type in "about:config" and search for browser.showQuitWarning" in the filter, without quotes. Double-click this string to set it to "true." Firefox should then ask you if you would like to save and quit, or just quit, when exiting with multiple tabs opened.
Another option is to go to the "General" tab in your preferences and and under "Startup" -> "When Firefox starts," select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" from the drop-down list. This way, your opened tabs are always saved, and always restored.
Finally, you can achieve this functionality (and more) with the Session Manager add-on. Session Manager is nice because it allows you to save and restore multiple tab sessions. I also find that it's a more reliable fail-safe for saving your opened tabs when it comes to browser crashes.

All of a sudden I am getting a pop up message that says, "do you want to leave this page or stay".

I have FF 28 and have for a long time, so that is not the problem. It is my default browser. I also have IE 10, W 7 and Avast. This problem just started a couple of weeks ago. Nothing on my pc has changed. I am trying to load an image, but it not working.

It is only happening on one site, but I have friends that it is happening to and they don't visit this site.
Would someone please tell me the danger of using an older version of Firefox. Is it going to blow up in my face, take all of my savings from the bank, What is the danger. I don't have anything personal on my PC, I even use an alias.
I like Firefox because of the apps like WOT, adblock plus, no squint, duckduckgo, Ghostery and being able to select colors for the toolbar that makes it easy to read.
The reason I don't want to upgrade: Let me count the reasons. The main reason is they try to force me to use their new versions. '''They upgrade my FF versions even though I have it set to never. ''' Because they fixed the tool bar so I can't condense it down to one line. and I know there is software that can fix that. When developers add new options why can't they leave the older options.
Also don't put me in the class of not trying new things. I bought my first PC in 1996 and replaced it every time a new OS came out because I wanted to learn it. I kept doing that until W 8 came out. I even bought a laptop so I could see what all the fuss was about. I did see.
