My FF has been hijacked by Bing and I can't undo it even tho' FF is my default browser

It's as above. It's been going on for about 2 weeks and has taken over both IE and FF. It has me paralyzed on FF. I can't access my homepage at all. I finally totally removed FF and reinstalled it again (3.6). I can escape it on IE but I have to do it everytime I access my homepage.
In addition, Lots of things have disappeared from my webpages...most graphics, optin boxes. I see black text and outlines of boxes and that's about all.
I don't know if they're related but I need help!
FF is set as my default browser so I can't figure out how this happened as I've never used Bing!
I'm using windows vista on an HP laptop.
TIA,
Diane

Try to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

I get as far as what appears to be restoring my phone then when the software has downloaded, iTunes insists on my phone accepting it's access. I had carried out this action two weeks ago when I had the same issue on my phone and managed to restore it successfully, but it isn't happening now. I have updated iTunes to the latest version since the last time, and also my iPhone to the latest version. I have had endless trouble with this phone so having gone through all the steps suggested in various forums it is clear that it is an issue with the phone, not helped by the recent iOS and iTunes updates with stricter security.

I need to reset my phone to it's original settings after backing it up. It has been locked for several months and I do not remember the passcode. How do I do this??? HELP!!!

-Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password-
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device)

My Apple TV has been nothing but problems, I cannot do anything on it even tho it sees my network

Apple TV sees my network but when i try to sign in to my account it says Apple TV can't sign in to the iTunes Store until the network time has been set. Please try later. Before this happened the past few months i Have been unable to use Netflix, or even do the update. Please help me!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

My browser has been hijacked by malicious adware. How do I fix this?

MMy browser has been hijacked and I am taken to unwanted sites. A Safari symbol appeared warning me that my computer has been compromised and that my personal data is at risk. A number for Apple support was given and 200$ requested to fix the problem by a company called NTS IT CARE. Not trusting this I hung up. The problem is real enough company and I would appreciate any help .

1. Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
2. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

My phone has been hijacked remotely

My account has been compromised and my phone has been hijacked remotely. What can I do immediately?

Highly unlikely unless someone has had physical access to the device and jailbroken it, even then... it's unlikely
What sillyness is occurring that you believe the device has been "hijacked"?

Safari has been hijacked

My browser has been hijacked (for lack of a better term) by a warning pop-up from some site called mac-online-alert. I click the pop-up and it reopens. When I try to use the keyboard, it doesn't work except to quit Safari. When I reopen Safari, it opens to the same page and pop-up. They menu across the top of Safari (File, Edit, View, etc.) has limited options, most are gray. I thought I could get rid of it by emptying my caches. I went to my email and clicked on a link to an ad and it opened a new browser window, but the pop-up still has control.
I'm using Firefox now, any suggestions how to get Safari back?

If that does not work, additional options here: A Browser Pop-up has Taken Over Safari.

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
Matt
