Links going to wrong sites

When I search for something and click on the links, it takes me to wrong sites.

The other is that you're using a rogue DNS server that redirects traffic away from Google. Your operating system is so old that I'm not sure how to proceed.
Please launch the System Preferences application. There should be a preference pane called Network, or maybe Internet. Open that, and look through the settings for the addresses of your DNS servers. Also check to see whether a web proxy is configured. I can't be more specific because I don't remember how those settings were laid out in 10.4.
Also look at your router's settings to see what DNS servers it uses.
This is the best information I've been able to locate on DNS Trojans First Look: Trojan Horse warning: What you need to know. It's very old and has been updated, but it may not apply to later versions.

Plugin check Action link going to wrong page

Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U60 plugin is out of date and i get a red Action button to update to v65.
However the link is going to the release notes page instead of the downloads page.

More info:
This is happening on my Windows 7 machine. On my Windows XP machine I had already updated Java from a system tray prompt and the green 'up-to-date' button points to the correct link.
So, to recap, wrong link displayed when out-of-date (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u65-relnotes-2229169.html)
Correct link displayed when up-to-date (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)

Links going to wrong place

I have created a simple photography slideshow website to showcase some of my photography.
Unfortunately I have run into a problem with my link bar at the top of my website, in the mobile and tablet version this menu bar works fine but in my desktop version the weddings tab takes you to the home screen.
I have exported to html and the weddings.html doesn't exist, which is the problem.
I have tried using a menu bar from the widgets but this hasn't worked either, I have also tried to delete and redo the page but this hasn't worked either.
Any help on this would be much appreciated as I am starting to lose faith in what is otherwise a brilliant product.
A new issue is that the index.html file doesn't have any styling but if you link to the other pages they are fine and if you preview in browser it is also ok.
the site is a http://seansshots.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
Thanks,
Sean

Please make sure index.html (Home page) has a Master page associated to it. There is no weddings.html that physically exists, make sure you don't have the "Export Page" option unchecked in page's context menu in Plan mode. Also, it appears that you're simply using a block of links acting as a menu and hence have incorrectly linked "Weddings" to index.html. You might want to use the Menu widget for the purpose of creating a navigation menu that mirrors the structure of your site in Plan view and automatically assigns and maintains all the page names and links for menus and submenus.
If the above doesn't fully resolve the issue, do an upload of all pages from Publish Options (and not just modified).
Thanks,
Vinayak

Bookmarks Links Goes to Wrong Direction (Page)

Hi,
I just added bookmarks to pages title. by following right click on title of page Interactive-New Bookmark.
I had totaly 9 pages first and I done about 7 bookmarks for pages. first all of them was fine. but after I have added 4 extra pages after last page, my some of the bookmarks is begining to go last page!
I did delete them and insert aganin, allways goto last page.
Where can I edit that?
thanks.

Which version of InDesign are you using? (On Windows: Help > About InDesign, on Mac OS: InDesign > About InDesign).
I tried to see if I could replicate the issue you are seeing, but the Bookmarks panel definitely points to the correct page numbers, even when I move pages around – this is in InDesign CC 2014.2 Release / Build 102..0.69
I'm not entirely sure what's happening but the following might be of help:
When you select an object and right-click Interactive > Bookmark, the bookmark you create references a page, NOT the object you had select as far as I'm aware. In my version of InDesign, if I move the pages around, after creating the bookmark, the bookmark page number reference automatically updates to reflect the new page. You can check that by selecting the bookmark in the Bookmarks panel and waiting for the tool tip to appear (or just hover the cursor over the bookmark you want to check)
If you move the content you had selected when you added the bookmark to another page. For example by selecting a text frame and moving it to another page, the bookmark will still point to the previous page.
Try this as a workaround:
Instead of creating Page bookmarks, create the bookmarks more content aware: Highlight the page title text with the Type Tool and choose New Bookmark from the Bookmarks panel (Window > Interactive > Bookmarks).
If you're still having troubles, see if you can provide us some screenshots of what is going on, hopefully they'll help clarify the issue.

Hyper links going to wrong destination - Murray, please help

Please take a look at http://greenpwwhh.com/secrets%20of%20a%20millionaire%20mind.html
The first question is what are these "%20%20of%20a%20" I never put them there.
The real important question however is what would make the links below go to a mp4 file instead of to the pages with the video? Thanks as usual for your expertise
Secrets of a millionaire mind 1
Secrets of a millionaire mind 2
Secrets of a millionaire mind 3
Secrets of a millionaire mind 4
Secrets of a millionaire mind 5
Secrets of a millionaire mind 6

okay i'm not murray, but will plow on anyway...
The %20 's are the spaces you have in yoru filenames. Spaces are bad. I'd say most often used instead are underscores, like for example: this_is_a_filename.htm but hypens are common as well Some use CamelCase instead, as in: thisIsAFilename.htm
what would make the links below go to a mp4 file instead of to the pages with the video?
Well, that's becuase your links are actually pointing to the mp4 and flv files, not an htm page:
<a href="video%20secrets%20of%20a%20millionaire%20mind%204.flv">Secrets of a millionaire mind 4</a>
<a href="video%20secrets%20of%20a%20millionaire%20mind%205.mp4">Secrets of a millionaire mind 5</a>
See that the hrefs end in .flv and .mp4?
You will need to change those Links - using the Property Inspector if you like - so they are pointing to whatever htm file you intended.

How to get rid of slow ness and going in to wrong site?

My fire fox is 32.02. But it's very slow and it alaways goes into wrong site and it atomitcly opens new window about bank

Could you describe going into the wrong site in more detail? For example, some users discover that search engine results are redirected to advertising sites, or that they randomly get redirected to a search results page instead of the site they want. These can indicate very different kinds of infections.
Assuming it's caused by a bad add-on, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up. I know it seems long, but it's not that bad.
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. ''Don't be fooled by seemingly innocent or important names if you do not remember choosing to install them.'' Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
* in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions. (Note: you might not be able to manually Disable extensions in Safe Mode because they are disabled automatically.)
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

First time going to a site where I do not have access and clicking the back button I'm returned to the root site instead of the site I started from

Greetings,
I have SharePoint 2013 enterprise using ADFS for authentication. I have an issue where the first time going to a site where you do not have access and clicking the back button you're returned to the root site instead of the site you
started from.
ie:
1) at site http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx
2) browse to
http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/private/home.aspx
3) receive a message: you do not have access to this site ((oops went to the wrong location - I'll hit the back button))
4) click the browser back button
5) get returned to http://www.sharepoint.com/pages/home.aspx
This only happens the first time browsing to a site that I do not have rights to, after this I can browse to the same site and hit the browser back button and return to the correct site, or any other site that I do not have access to.
Any ideas as to why this happens? Ideas of where to start looking?
Thanks

Hi Robert,
From your description, when you receive access denied message and hit back button in browser, it redirects you to the root site but not previous site. However, this just happens at the first time.
You may try to use some tool or check log which can tell us how does it handle the request when you hit the button. And compare the issue time and non-issue time.
I'd suggest you use Netmon tool:

Linking pages within my site

I know this is so easy, but for whatever reason it gets me
everytime!!!! I know how to create links with in my site but
everytime I test it in the browser only the first link works and
then the second works, but goes to a different page. I also want
every page to link back to the homepage but having issues with that
as well. I imagine it has to do with how my folders are set up on
the server. I have the info to log on remotely to the server if
anyone cares to see what I am doing....Please help...I just want my
site up and running!!

I have looked at your web site and firstly I must say it
looks nice, clean, clear and attractive!
From your first page you have;
http://www.paisleyquill.com/index.html
- all the header links are working fine.
When I click on the Wedding link from the index page it goes
to;
http://www.paisleyquill.com/weddings.html
- That’s fine.
However if you click again on wedding link on the
/wedding.html page it goes to:
the anniversary page -
http://www.paisleyquill.com/anniversary.html
I’m not sure you want the wedding link on this page to
go to the anniversary page do you?
If you want the wedding link on the wedding page to go back
you need to add the hyperlink -
http://www.paisleyquill.com/index.html
- so it goes back to that page.
I’m just trying to show you what you need to do step by
step.
Write down on paper your page links and where you want them
to go.
I’m not sure what software you’re using but in
dreamweaver you have a property box that shows you all your links.
Just highlight the words with the link in them and it shows you the
link in the property link box.
To find the property box go to the windows button on the top
of your dreamweaver page and your find the properties button. Click
on this and in the property panel should appear at the bottom of
you page. In there you will find a box with the word links. If you
put your page in Design or Split mode, again highlight the word
example Wedding and you will see that word with the hyperlink
viewable to it in the property link box.
I hope this will help you?

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

2 issues:
1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Link to a new site that opens within my site

Can someone tell me how I can create a link to an external site, where the site opens up within the body of my site? Do I need a javascript for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
The iframe option is fabulous. I've used it for my ebay link as well as a "news" section.
I do still have one issue with the "news" section – I seem to have my background image from the body showing through in the padding of the div that holds the iframe. I've tried everything, but can't seem to get rid of it! I didn't have this problem with the ebay link and didn't have this problem before I added the iframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks again!

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)
