My firewall keeps popping up with something and goes away too quick to read.

I have a MBP 13" and I have my firewall activated. A box keeps popping up randomly with the yellow caution sign and an "okay" and "cancel" button from what I can make out. The problem is that it pops up and dissapears so fast I cant figure out what its saying. Ive looked on activity monitor and everything seems normal but I dont know enough about whats running to say for sure. The box pops up almost everytime when I boot, and randomly when im surfing the web or another misc. activity on my computer. On my firewall settings, it is blocking "usbmuxd" and i'm not sure why.

Turn off the firewall. It serves no purpose if you're behind a router. Use it only when you're away from home, as on a public hotspot.

Calendar keeps popping up with errors and I cannot clear it?

SInce a recent Update I keep getting a Calender popping up with errors and I am not able to clear it.
PLease help.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
In the Internet Accounts preference pane, delete any calendar accounts you don't use.
If there's no improvement, delete all calendar accounts and add them back. With an iCloud account, all you have to do is uncheck and recheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders in the iCloud preference pane.
Step 2
You may be trying to access an invited event that you declined, or one that was rescheduled after you accepted it. The error message should give you a clue as to what it is. If the calendar is on iCloud, you can bring up the Calendar on the website and select
Show Declined Events
from the popup menu with the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page. The declined events will appear in gray, and one of them should match what's shown the error message. [Credit for this solution to ASC member Psi.]
Step 3
If you get the error when trying to accept an invitation in an email attachment, it's because the organizer didn't properly create the event.
Step 4
Follow the instructions in this support article. Modify as necessary for a calendar that's not on iCloud.

Downloaded an app and now my safari keeps popping up with ads and words are hyperlinked on webpages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I was downloading Skype for mac last night, and now my safari isn't working correctly (has a lot of popups and and words are hyperlinked on my webpages I pull up now. I think I have the 'DownLite' trojan but I am unsure of how to get rid of it. I saw a post in March that Linc helped with describing how to fix it, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me (because I think mine is in a different folder but am unsure how to find it). I have the UNIX shell script diagnostic scan if needed. Can anyone help me get rid of this?? Thank you for your help!

You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:

Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

I think that being signed into your apple.com account but with Safari first and foremost would be better as that would allow an Apple cookie to be set down onto an integral proprietary application (yes the Safari browser - go figure). Then (that is secondarily) you should sign into iTunes and have (more reliable) fun.
Google's motto was "Do No Evil" was it not? So do you honestly believe that their primary business interests and application performance jives with that of Apple? Sometimes yes, other times...no. Sorry, just sayin.

Dreamweaver cs5.5 on win 7 recently failed to open/load and just stops loading and goes away. Never makes it to fully load.

How do i fix the load issue. It wont load anymore. i see the opening version screen and then it vanishes and goes away. Never loaded. this just started recently in the last week or two.

Try turning on your OS's hidden files and clearing the program cache: Deleting a corrupted cache file
If that doesn't work, renaming the personal configuration folder at the location discussed above can fix issues the cache clearing doesn't. If neither of those work, restoring preferences can help: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
