Only-seach toolbars removal from Safari

Help me, how can I remove Only-Search toolbars on my Safari??
safari >preferences doesnt work!

You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Can I click on "bookmarks" and have the drop down menu display ONLY the file imported from Safari?

I am trying to achieve a one click drop down menu without side selection for "Safari". Possibly I need to drag bookmarks and folders from the "Safari" folder into the "unsupported " folder, but when I tried this it doubled everything I drug in.

I did find that I could move bookmarks and folders out of the "imported from Safari" folder onto the "unsorted bookmarks" folder. Removed the Safari folder and made sure the "bookmarks menu" was empty, and then closed show all bookmarks. Hoping that when I opened Bookmarks from the very top line of Apple menu items, the only list that would pop down would be the one that I just constructed in "unsorted bookmarks". But alas, what pops down is no visible bookmarks. You have to slide down to "unsorted" which pops open a window offset to the right with what I really want to see, the list of bookmarks that I assembled in Unsorted.

The only user was removed from Administrators Group

Hi Experts
We are using Office 365 based Project Online and Project Server Security Mode was applied, also the Active Directory sync was switched to 'OFF' for Administrators Group in PWA. There was only one user which was in the Administrators Group and hence was the
lone user to have access to Project Server 'Groups & Categories' section.
Now I do not know how it happened, but the person logged into the PWA Site, went to Administrators Group and removed his name from the Group and clicked on Save.
As soon as it happened the access right were removed from that user also Now no one has the access to 'Server Settings' page as an administrator. Hence all the admin work is stopped.
My concern was is it possible that by any means can we add any user (or the same user) to the Administrator Group?
Thanks
Manish

Hello,
If no user has access to do this then the only option you have via the UI is to switch permission modes (to the SharePoint permission mode then back to the Project Server permission mode - this add the Company Administrators (global admins) the Admin group).
Do bear in mind this will remove all of the users from the security groups and reset ALL security so probably not an ideal option. The only other option is to open a support query via your Office 365 tenant and see what Microsoft suggest..

HT203987 Adware and malware removal from Safari only

I was going to Ebay to check an order and a box popped up and claimed to be Microsoft service tech and that my windows be infected with adware/spyware virus and to call an 877 toll free #. Well when I called the number I was upset and gave them a real reading. They told me to take it to get repaired and hung up on me. I contacted FTC and filed a complaint which probably will do no good. I tried to follow instructions that were given by Apple, but I can't get to preferences. I'm not really versed when it comes to repair. Can anyone help me? I am using Yosemite 10.10.2. Only Safari has this problem. I also use Firefox and Google search engines.

That is phishing scam. Do not click any links or call any telephone numbers.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

I would like my music to be deleted from both my itunes library and my pc file. however i only see the remove from itunes option and the song remains in the pc folder afterwards.

when i delete a song from my library, i am not given the option to delete it also from my pc file as the help section shows.
after clicking delete and remove only the library reference is removed. song in file remains.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

PDF Toolbar missing from Safari 5

The PDF toolbar no longer appears when viewing PDF files in Safari (5.1.2) on my MacBook Pro running the latest version of Lion. It is not running in 32 Bit mode.
Any ideas?
regards,

Thanks Linc.
The clue to the solution lies in the discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3536184?tstart=0
Where it identifies possible internet plugins as the cause. In my case it was not an Adobe plugin but a Quicktime plugin that was responsible.
My problem soved!

Removing bing from safari 5 toolbar

What preference(s) file must I alter on my mac to remove Bing from the dropdown toolbar in Safari?
It is taking up space, and considering I'll never use Bing, I can prune it and shorten my list a little whenever needed.
Thanks.

As I mentioned before you can switch search engines from Safari / Preferences - General.
You might like using Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
It's free and gives you more options for search engines and results. The latest buiilds are v10.7 Lion compatible / Safari v5.1 compatible.
After it's installed you can access the settings from Safari / Preferences - Glims

How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

I have a long article I copied from Safari. I want to paste it in pages and save as document. Every time I try to do that, only what fits on one page of Pages appears. How do I copy the whole document? It would fit in five or six Pages pages.

How do I copy a long page from Safari as a document in Pages? When I try to do it, I'm only able to get what fits in one Pages page. It would fit in ten or so.

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

I cannot remove Avast from Safari. It is blocking a website that I need for remote access to my office. I have dragged Avast to the trash and have restarted my computer. It is no longer installed as an app on my Mac. Does anyone know what to do?

How do I remove Avast from Safari?

"Avast" is perhaps the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it throws false warnings, destabilizes and slows down the computer, and sometimes or always corrupts the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage.
Back up all data, then remove "Avast" according to the developer's instructions. Restart.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and then follow the instructions linked above.

I have to open website which opens only with google but not from safari. how can i get such google?

i have a website which opens only with google, but not google from safari. how i can get google w/o using safari?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
