Is there a way to block popups that appear even after the firefox window is closed?

I use firefox as my principle browser, however, recently popups have started to appear on a regular basis, ''even when the browser is closed.'' Is there some way to stop this such as deleting temporary internet files etc.?
Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. I get the feeling that this isn't a settings issue, but rather was prompted by a website that I have visited.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

Is there a way to recover pictures that were deleted on the i Pad 2 ??

Is there a way to recover pictures that were deleted on the i Pad 2 ?

Only if you have a copy of them e.g. if they were on your iPad when you last backed then you can try restoring to that backup. But unlike on a computer there is no trashcan or recycle bin on an iPad, once they are deleted from an iPad then they are gone from it.

You can't add icons to Safari on iOS devices. You can set google as your default search engine for Safari via Settings > Safari > Search Engine - the URL field acts as both URL and search on iOS 7

Is there any way to block a few websites even for an administrator user?

Hi, I would like to block a few specific websites on my imac, and someone told me to go to system preferences, accounts, and parental controls. But it says you can't block websites for an account user (which is what I am). There is an option to block all websites, except what is on the bookmarks bar, but I don't want to do that and not be able to web search. I just want to block a few specific websites. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can do this using OS X's built in Firewall but you'll want to use Flying Buttress (link) to give you a nice front-end to make the changes with.
First find the IP addresses of the sites you wish to block.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Network Utility > Tracetroute tab.
Enter the address i.e. www.apple.com and traceroute will give you the IP i.e. 17.149.160.10.
Load up Flying Buttress and add a new filter (for example on my Powerbook I always connect via Airport so I choose the Airport tab and click 'Add New Filter').
Action:"Deny" the Service:"World Wide Web" from Source:"My Computer" to Other...:"Host IP: 17.149.160.10".
Add a new filter for each page you wish to block.
Remember to go through and check all the settings on all the tabs are set to "Deny" unless you are using them to maintain the integrity of your Firewall.
Hope that helps.

Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy?
One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures).
I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

Is there a way to recover pictures that were deleted or the messages in which the pictures were sent?

I did not back up the iPod and then i restored it thinking my pictures should stay in the icloud but after the restore was done i realized that those pictures had been deleted but many other pictures had been kept. Also those pictures were not taken with my iPod they were taken with my bestfriends iPod but because of a situation she had to delete them so she sent them to me through imessage so I am wondering if there is a way to recover them.

If they are not there after restoring from backup then your only hope is:

Is there any way to find a lost iPhone even if the Find my iPhone app is not logged in with iCloud account?

No, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

Is there a way to block add-ons from being installed in Firefox, even add-ons coming from 3rd party sites?

I work in a small call center and I have been working on trying to convince IT and management to use Firefox on the computers on the call floor. The main issue I have been having in convincing them, is that you can't block add-ons and things like that as easily as in IE. I thought I had it with blocking addons.mozilla.org, which wouldn't allow access to Mozilla's add-on site. However, with that, techs would still be able to go to 3rd party sites, generally the creators of the add-ons, and download them there. Anybody have any ideas on how to stop this?

You can configure Firefox settings to notify you before installing an add-on.
-> click Firefox '''button''' and click '''Options''' (or Tools Menu -> Options)
* '''Security''' panel -> place Checkmark on '''Warn me when websites try to install add-ons''' -> click '''Exceptions''' button -> click '''Remove All Sites''' button and click '''OK'''
* click OK on Options window
Check and tell if its working.

Is there a way to recover notes that were deleted after turning off icloud?

I recently turned off the "notes" app from iCloud so that my iphone 5 wouldn't send those notes to all my devices. I didn't know it until quite some time later, but all of my notes are now gone. I vaguely recall seeing an email of the notes, but I can't find that email whatsoever. I tried turning the iCloud notes option back on in hopes it would reinstate in the iPhone, but no dice. I am sure that I have backed up the phone on itunes since they were deleted since it was set to auto backup when I connected my phone to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how, if at all possible, to recover these notes? Why did they delete at all?!

If it wasn't on the device when you last backed up then no, it's gone. If it was backed up, you would have to reset the device (deleting all data on it) and perform a restore from the backup.

Is there any way to add AppleCare to an iPhone after the order when the phone has not been shipped yet

Simple question. I purchased an iPhone 5, and added AppleCare to the cart. After processing the order, I found that AppleCare had been dropped from the cart. The phone obviously hasnt shipped yet. I have tried calling, but am unable to reach anyone. Is there anyway to purchase AppleCare after main purchase without going to an apple store. The closest one for me is 2+ hours away.

My iPhone 5 Ordering Situation:
Successfully submitted pre-order at 2:05am CST
Realized I did not add AppleCare+
Tried to add it as a separate product
Unable to add AppleCare+ after submiting pre-order
This Morning:
I just got off the phone with an Apple representative. He assured me that, once my iPhone 5 arrives on September 21, I will be able to: 1) call Apple and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5; 2) go into an Apple Retail Store and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5. He said I would have thirty days from my device's ship date (September 21) to add AppleCare+ to it. He also recommended that, if I wanted to have AppleCare+ added at an Apple Retail Store, I should make an appointment as soon as possible. Because I was still concerned something might go wrong, the Apple representative emailed me a copy of my case number to use as a reference in case I have any issues obtaining AppleCare+ on September 21.
Caveats & More Information:
I ordered through the Apple Store app on my iPhone 4
I live in the United States
My carrier is AT&T
I have a case number and repeated assurances from an Apple representative
While your situation may differ from mine I do hope you're able to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone 5 once it arrives, either by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE or by making an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store.
Best Wishes,
Dylan

Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
What I want to know is this:
a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
Is there software that might do this???
Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
"man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
no record of the event as a "login"
My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
not be asking questions like this one.
