Links populate on websites that have nothing to do with that website

Words are underlined and provide links to websites that have nothing to do with the website I'm on. As well, I'm getting a pop up video advertisement that started the same time these links showed up. How do I stop this?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I can not create an Installer, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...

I can not create an Installer on LabView, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.

Apple TV3 - I have nothing to work with

Hi all.
I just bought a new Apple TV3.
I have nothing in it. just Home Sharing and Settings.
Home sharing *****, Can't read MKV files etc.
Cant mirroring my mac, Too old. AirParrot works terrible (huge delay)
I AM NOT FROM US.
but, I really think that this situation is ridiculous.
I have nothing but my music files.
What should I do?

That happens when you have a lot of tracks and try to do a lot of instruments on these tracks. If the iPad can not do playback without dropping out audio, it will try to optimize the performance to allow playback. Besides doing "less" or a faster iPad, there is not much more to do. Audio either plays or does not. It can't do "slower in case the CPU is too slow".

Why are tabs that say redirecting open and have nothing to do with the site i am working with and how do i stop this

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Digital Editions scanning ebooks nothing to do with it

I use Digital Editions to copy borrowed library books to my eBook reader (Cybook Opus, but I don't think that is relevant).
There are also many other books on the device, which have nothing to do with Digital Editions.
When I start Digital Editions and connect the device, it spends ages looking around books stored on the device
outside the Digital Editions directory, and making lots of annotation files which have no value to me at all.
Meanwhile, it refuses to get on with its job of copying my library books to the device.
Is there any way of preventing this antisocial behaviour by Digital Editions?

Let's start with your understanding of what ADE is supposed to do.
ADE does several things, and a description of what it does is included in
the HELP section. It will interface with sources for ebooks, interact with
certain ereaders listed in its list of supported devices
(HERE<http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices>),
and your Cyborg ereader is not on the list.
I am somewhat confused by your statements concerning ADE's management of
ebooks on your "device". ADE runs on your computer, not your ereader, so I
don't know how it would be interacting with the ebooks on your device.
Since the Cyborg is not a supported ereader, is some software loaded on
that device labelled 'Digital Editions'? If so, it is not from Adobe. I
have seen some postings that tell us Digital Editions is stored on their
ereader, but that is false.
Library ebooks have digital rights assigned to them by the publisher,
distributor, library or author. ADE (on your computer) checks the settings
to confirm that the permissions will allow an ebook to be copied to an
ereader. If the permissions will not allow that to happen, the ebook can't
be copied, and that sounds like what may be happening to you.
All in all, ADE is really not guilty of 'antisocial behavior'. It's a case
of unwinding what's going on and trying to figure out what to do about it.
Hope this helps!

I use to be able to click on a link in a website to watch a video and it would launch windows media player. I have installed the plugin but it still will not launch

Windows Media player will not launch from a video link within a website. it worked until I installed FF4. I did install the plug in but still nothing it just goes to a black then blank page when you try to launch the video.
Ideas?

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
- Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
- PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
- On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
It's a dog: Don't use it.

My school has a website. The professor uploads files in Word. When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book. What Could be wrong? Wrong set up?

Hi Jo,
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

Barry

I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building. How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website. How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop.
If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database. Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.
