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.

I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop iMac, stops working periodically. The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all. Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

Hello:
Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper. Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

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?

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

I had problems with sending emails from one server in particular, however, I would ask if you have gone to the page of your server and found specific instructions for configuring your mail. My iMAC would not send out emails, so I went to my (Italian) server's page and solved the problem.
It was not sufficient to let the MAC wizard connect you up with your server, and, indeed, MAIL invited me to consider installing the server's email manually. So doing, my problem was solved.
Your server's page should have a list of email programs (cf Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) , with instructions as to how to configure them. Look for the item referring to Macintosh Mail, keep it in background in order to go back to it as you configure your mail.
My problem was that I could not convince Mail to accept the out connection, but when I eliminated my server entirely in Mail's Preferences, I added that server once again: Mail told me that it could not safely transfer my password and asked me if I wanted to set up the site manually. I clicked on manual, and found very precise specifications as to the number of the port to be used, then instructions on how to find the menu for the out mail, with a particular number I had to insert in the drop-down menu they specified.
It was not as complicated as it sounds here, but requires patience.

My pop-up blocker is not working on ANY of the pop-up ads the come up (only in Safari, not Chrome of Firefox).

I have my settings on block pop-up ads and, stil, the blocker is not working on ANY ads. It used to work just fine. Has anyone else had this specific problem, and how can I fix this issue? Please and thank you!

POP mail on iPad Stopped Working

I have been using POP mail on my iPad2 for over a year using the server "mail.btinternet.com" for receiving and sending, but in the last couple of weeks it has stopped working on the iPad although I can still use BT mail on my PC.
I didn't change any of my iPad settings. So what has changed? Any help appreciated.
Solved!

What has changed at the bt mail servers in the last few weeks that has caused my previously OK iPad to suddenly fail on send and receive?
Seriously? BT are "divorcing" Yahoo and are switching to a company called Critical Path as their email provider (no, I've never head of them either). This has received so much publicity I'm surprised you could have missed it. I think existing customers are being migrated over; I'm sure you will find full details elsewhere on this forum.
More constructively, I think if you look carefully under the Advanced section of your iPad email settings you will find that you can change the incoming server port number.

Personal Hotspot stops working periodically

I am using the 3rd Generation Verizon iPad and my area has LTE coverage.
Status Indicators
4 Bars of Verizon LTE Coverage
1 Connection to iPad for Personal Hotspot
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on Personal Hotspot
2. Use a MacBook Pro (or WiFi enabled device) to make a connection
3. Stream netflix, play games or surf the web. After a period of time, the laptop will stop working.
4. Verify iPad cellular connectivity and attempt to browse web using MobileSafari (this always works). It is important to note that all Internet apps on the iPad have connectivity to the Internet (Netflix, Hulu, Games, Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc)
5. Go back to laptop and attempt to load a page, it will time out. The laptop shows that I have a valid IP but unable to connect.
6. Clear cookies, history and cache and attempt #5. This will also fail to load
7. Turn off Personal Hotspot
8. Turn off Cellular Data and wait 15 seconds then turn back on.
9. Turn Personal Hotspot on and attempt #5. This will work sometimes, if it doesn't work then goto 10
10. Turn on airplane mode and attempt step 5 after turning Personal Hotspot on. This will work sometimes, if it doesn't then go to step 11.
11. Reboot iPad
12. Attempt Step 5 after turning Personal Hotspot on. This will work.
I've also tried rebooting the laptop and shutting Airport off then back on. Both methods have the same result. I connected my iPod Touch to the iPad Personal Hotspot and I can't connect with the iPod Touch either (until I perform steps 7 to 12 above).
Anyway I can troubleshoot this issue?

do you also have a Verizon iPad? Are you on LTE?
I upgraded to iOS 6.0 to see if the issue resolved and it didn't.
using tether.com works with no issue so it's only MHS with the issue

Volume and ringer recently stopped working..why?

Voulme and ringer recently stopped working on my iPhone4...why?

Mine acts a bit different. When a call comes in it makes a little very short ring and the volume goes to zero. The button won't turn it up but I can go into settings and turn it back up. When the next call comes it does the same thing. This started last week and up til then everything worked fine.

My iPod touch's(4th gen, iOs 5) front camera stopped working. Why? And how can I fix it?

I can't use it on the regular camera, CamWow, instagram, twitter or anything else that involves a camera. And it's only the front camera. I can use the back camera on instagram. Anyway, all of my apps/cameras are all on the front camera and the little button to change it from front to back isn't on it. So I can't use my back camera either. It just randomly stopped working on friday and I don't know why. I've tried turning my iPod on and off but that doesn't work. So please help?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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!

Tagging pics and docs has stopped working. Why?

I was in the process of organising and then docs and pigs wouldn't tag any more. I can no longer see the 'all tags' sliding bar at the bottom. Have I done something, so that I can no longer tag?

First, note that this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to contact Adobe, you'll need to call or write them on their main site.
That said, as the note says at the top of the forum, you're going to have to provide us a lot more information if you want us to help you. "Stopped working" doesn't tell us much. Does this mean that it was working in the past but then stopped? What stopped? What did it do that it's not doing now? What were you doing when it stopped? Was it when you were adding video to your project, for instance?
What operating system are you using? If Windows, have you manually gone to Windows Update and made sure you've got the non-critical updates, which don't download automatically to your system? Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements?
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from your camcorder to your Premiere Elements project?

Firefox becomes non-responsive when I use hotmail, and stops working. Why?

Whenever I sign into my hotmail account, Firefox stops working. The entire window dulls and I cannot do anything. This only happens with Hotmail.

I've started having the same problem quite frequently. The iTunes store is quite often extremely slow, and when it's like that, using the search box renders iTunes useless. Then I have to end-task from the task manager. I just went through that process three times in a row and finally the forth time I was able to search.

HELP! Gradient overlay not working. Gradient Overlay has stopped working! Why?

Hi
First off if i apologise if i am in the wrong place/not posting correctly etc. It's my first time posting in this forum. I am havign an issue at work. I have always used the layer style - gradient overlay to make my 'buttons' for e-shots/newsletters. But yesterday it just stopped working. Below is a screen shot to try demonstrate clearly what I mean -
As you can see, the button on the composition should have a gradiant of orange and blue (not the actual colours im using - was just a gradual red -? dark red - but for clarity in the image i picked this default gradient).
I've tried resetting to default, i've looked at an old photoshop folder with a gradient overlay and made sure alll the setting are the same. I've tried making the actual button object different sizes but nothing works. (When i make it larger, it does eventually show the blue, but as soon as i *apply*, it goes to flat orange again)
Anyone have any help atall please? Like i said it's been doing this since yesterday - This is a very basic thing that I need to be able to do for my job - flat colours for a button look rubbish!
Oh i'm using photoshop cs5 on a mac incase thats important
Thanks in advance
edit: i uninstalled photoshop cs5 and reinstalled it and it didnt change anything.

Do you have Align with Layer checked?
Or move the gradient on the image while the layer styles dialog is open (probably moving it up) , as maybe the adjustment is such that only the orange is showing.
Does it make a difference if you view the image at actual pixels (100% view)?
If all else fails i'd reset the photoshop preferences and see if that gets things back to normal:

I have a Mac OS 10.9.4. After the last OS update on 11.July.2014 Flash stopped working. Why and how can I fix it?

All of a sudden my computer stopped allowing me to watch Youtube videos or anything involving Adobe Flash software. I tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling it, I've tried changing my cookies... everything that I find on different forums and I still can't get videos to play. On the Flash website it says that the latest flash model, version 14.0.0.145, works with Macs OS 10.6-10.9. Does that mean that flash is incapable of working with a Mac 10.9.4? I can't believe that the mac community stopped watching Youtube after the last update and nothing's been done. Has anyone else experienced this problem and more importantly found a way to fix it?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*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.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
