My safari keeps popping up this pop up telling me to call this toll free number and its not letting my close it or go onto other tabs.
I went on this website to watch soccer and then this pop up jumps up and blocks me from doing my stuff. it tells me to call this toll free number cause the mac detected suspicious activity. should i call it or bring it to apple so they can check up on it?
Force quit Safari, and then relaunch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the computer from the Internet.
You don’t need to take the computer to Apple to resolve this, and shouldn’t call the number under any circumstances; it’s a scam.

When opening the App Store a pop up window comes up and will not let me close it even when I touch outside the window
Close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

If you are also getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

i really need to know how
You need to purchase Lion from the App Store, which should start it downloading. Is that how you are downloading it, and if so, how is it not working?

safari though I blocked the pop tabs I keep getting the home page is always unconfigures and does not let me banks I do?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

I am in an endless loop on my other iMac computer. I happened upon a page where it said "phishing site ahead" and then a pop up comes on screen telling me to call a certain number and then I click okay and of course do not call and it will not let me out of this endless loop. Shut down computer, quit Safari, but when I reopen Safari it still takes me to that same page and will not let me out or use any menu items or toolbar items. Just the same little popup box telling me to call a certain number with an OK button and I can't go anywhere or do anything on Safari. What can I do?
Also I copied this from my other computer web page:
Reported Phishing website ahead. Your network ha been monitored. Your network has been compromised due to Browser hijacking.The browser hijacking software may redirect you towards phishing websites that try to access your Login Password details. To fix this browser redirection issue we recommend you ask for instant help. Help Line 1 877 899 1824.
Then another smaller popup window pops up
http://www.pcassists.info
Security Error
Call Helpline 1877 899 1824
So this is what I was talking about, and the small popup window plus the larger Window stating "Reported Phishing website ahead" will not go away and I cannot use Safari anymore even after I shut down my computer, disconnected it, and then signed on again and reopened Safari, it still takes me to that page and I cannot get out of it.

Safari keeps popping up when I Tunes movie is on, what can I do to have uninterrupted movie
Quit itunes then launch Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit Safari then open iTunes.
If Safari does not open, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch iTunes to test until you find the incompatible Safari extension then click uninstall. -
I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops
Hello khanhlinh98,
I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?
I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

Safari keeps dropping down this error message when ever i try to log on to any website safai can't verify the identity of the website ( e.g.. any address ) and the drop down has three choices to click on or else you can't go foward., they are check certificate ______ cancel ______ continue.... This thing is so annoying when trying to go somewhere i just want the error message to go away.
In your Keychain under 'login' delete the VeriSign certificates and then quit and restart all browsers/itunes/app store.

iPad 2 will not accept Apple id and will not let me do anything on it. It just keeps popping up on my screen
Don't know how it happens. Have you signed in successfully with your Apple ID in App Store or iCloud? Is your iPad connected to network?
You should make sure that your iPad is connected to a stable network. And then you should type in the correct Apple ID password. -
