Pop up blocker doesn't work

Since upgrading to 10.7 the safari pop-up blocker no longer blocks pop ups!
I've run software update regularly and obviously checked that pop-up blocker is checked in the security preferences.
What is wrong?
The most common pop up is googleads.g.doubleclick.net.... and it pops up as frequently as once per minute as a new (active) tab. Twice in the time it's taken me to write this question!!
Please help as applecare doesn't seem to be valid for expresslane in Sweden.

I had a similar problem on unsafe web sites with Safari...The google AdSense is not so pop up proof as it seams.
The best thing is to use another navigator as Opera which really blocks the pop ups on nearly all the web sites.
I keep using safari for its reader option that i suppose will soon be on Firefox as it's the best that new Safari has for a long time ago!

  • I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated.  I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line.  My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

    Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there. 
    My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from. 
    When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
    I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
    So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems.  Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe.  I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
    My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

  • CUSTOM ROW FETCH USING PLSQL BLOCK DOESN'T WORK

    Hello,
    I'm using Apex 3.0, and I'm trying to use a anonymous block to populate page items instead of automatic row fetch. Apparently the block works fine but the page doesn't display the items with the values that I fetched.
    I'm using something like:
    Declare
    v_test varchar2(10);
    begin
    select name into v_test from emp where emp_no=:p10_id;
    :p10_name:=v_test;
    end;
    Does anyone have a clue ? The process is defined to run on "OnLoad - After header", but I've tried other options, but the results are the same: P10_name appears blank.
    thank you for your help
    JAV

    But there is a catch.....on the item definition, the "SOURCE USED" must be set to "Only when current value in session is null", otherwise, it doesn't show what you want.
    Cheers
    JAV

  • Call blocking doesn't work

          I keep getting phone calls from {edited for privacy} the caller ID says Washington. They claim to be a pharmacy trying to sell Viagra and pain medications. I get between 2 to 4 calls per day and told them on numerous times.
          I added the number to my digital call blocking account and the calls still come thru. I contacted Verizon support and their answer was that the call blocking feature doesn't block long distance calls!!!! What kind of B.S. answer is that???
          If Verizon is going to offer a service than it should work, regardless if the call is local or long distance. If it'll only work for local calls than these digital FIOS features are WORTHLESS,,

    Did you place your number on the Federal Do Not Call list?   If so, file a case and make some money off them.    If not, what are you waiting for?    You did not state if the incoming number was actually a domestic phone number or from an area code / country code outside of the United States.
    Additionally, next time they call, note the exact day and time, ask for the call back number, company name,the operator's name or identification number, and then very specifically state "I do not wish to receive these calls from your company.  Place me immediately on your DO NOT CALL list and do not call again.  Future calls will be referred to the appropriate authorities for legal action.   Do you understand and acknowledge receipt of this directive?"
    After that, keep good records and file a complaint as appropriate.

  • Pop up blocker exemptions stop working periodically. Why?

    Exemption exists and works fine, but after a while of working in a web application, which requires pop ups, it stops working.

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''dom.popup_maximum''' - default is 20
    Right-click that pref and select '''''Modify''''' and enter a number that you can live with as a maximum before popups are blocked for a single domain.

  • Why my scroll bar of a data block doesn't work?

    Hi,
    I have a data block that displays a maximum of 9 records at one time. When the query returns more than 9 records i want to use a vertical scroll bar to navigate to the last records.
    In some forms it works fine but in others not , i still didn't find why ??
    Cheers,
    Nuno

    Nuno,
    Rather than trying to find a needle in a hay stack, I would recommend taking a step backward.  This will help to rule out whether the issue is something you caused or if there is an issue with the environment or product.
    Create a new module in the Builder.  Do not add any of your own code.
    In the Builder, connect to a database (File > Connect).
    From the Builder menu, select Tools > Data Block Wizard
    In the Wizard first screen (after Welcome), select Table or View then click Next
    On the next screen, click on Browse to display the tables available to you.  Choose one.
    All the columns in that table should appear on the left.  Click on the double arrow (>>) to select all of them.  Then click on Next
    Click on Next again
    Choose the option to create the data block then open the Layout Wizard.  Then click Finish
    In the Layout Wizard, click on Next (after the Welcome scree) to choose the default Canvas.  Then click on Next
    Click on the double arrow (>>) to choose all columns. Then click Next
    Click Next again.
    Choose Tabular as the layout style.  Click on Next
    Change Records Displayed to 4 and check the box labeled "Display scroll bar".
    Click on Finish
    Again, do not make any changes to anything in this form.  Run it.  Does it reproduce the same problem you experience in your previous form?  If this form works correctly, likely the issue is in the design of your other form.  If this test form fails in the same manner then you are either exposing a defect or there is an odd configuration issue.

  • Speaker pop up menu doesn't work

    Hi
    I have been using itunes with an airport express and harman kardon soundsticks. just now it has stopped working, and whatever I select in the speakers pop up menu, they don't work and the sound still comes out of the internal speakers. I notice you don't get the usual delay while itunes 'contacts' the AE either.
    Shoudl I just re-intall itunes?

    I have just re-installed itunes after deleting iTunes in Applications,
    iTunes.pkg in /Library/Receipts,
    and com.appleitunes.plist in ~/Library/Preferences.
    I still have the problem!
    EDIT: I had renamed my itunes folder containing the library etc to "xxxitunes".
    Having discovered that my clean install didn't cure the problem, I threw away the new itunes folder and renamed my original one.
    Guess what?
    Now everything works fine again!
    How weird is that?
    I had previously tried trashing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to no avail .
    Some strange buggy behaviour here that makes me nervous now.......

  • My POP mail account doesn't work w lion !

    for the first time in my "Apple Life" (22 years!) my account mail dosen't work after OS X Lion upgrade.
    it's an POP3  mail of the mayor internet company in Argentina (Fibertel)
    please, make something !
    thank's

    Hello guys,
    After a while I figured out what was going wrong with the POP email accounts and Mail 5.
    It happens that the new app is using a protocol that was not used by the mail programs as well as by ISP providers.
    Now, Mail 5, is questioning the mail servers about capability (CAPA instruction) and most of the servers answer as IMAP by default, even tho they are POP servers.
    So when Mail 5 receives this answer, it does not establish the connection and so POP accounts don't work.
    My ISP came out with a non conventional solution while they work on the server configuration.
    The solution is deleting the POP accounts and recreating them, indicating they are IMAP accounts, but configuring them manually as POP.
    To be clear, when recreating the account, the programs asks for the type of account. There you put IMAP.
    Further, when it cames to configure the account, you do it manually, configuring the POP and SMTP servers as if they were POP accounts.
    What this does is deceive Mail 5 which is specting an IMAP answer, but after that the account works as POP.
    It worked for me and my ISP (Fibertel).
    Hope this works for you too.

  • Servlet init block doesn't work with getServletContext().getRequestDispat..

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting null pointer exception when i have coded init method inside my servlet(inside that i am fetching init parameter passed from web,xml file) and while getting requestdispatcher from context.
    if i get requestdispatcher from request then it works fine. i dont understand reason behind this behaviour.
    please give your valueable comment.
    find code below:

    while(enum1.hasMoreElements()){

  • Pop up blocker that works

    Greetings,
    I have been searching for a pop up blocker that actually works for the ipad. The one in Safari is useless. I use chrome too but nothing seems to actually work. I use adblock plus on my laptop and it's fine.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Happy Thanksgiving

    Hi,
    Please also check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] There could be other installed add-ons blocking the pop-up. If the problem persists please also try a '''Ctrl''' + '''F5''' refresh. This helps to reload the page contents afresh.
