Pop up disabled safai?
Safari has quit working. A pop up window appeared that I can't get rid of. No menu commands are available. I can do a forced quit of safari but the same thing happens when I try to open it again. I am new Mas user on a new iMac. What do I do?
new user on a new iMac.
You should be running v10.7.1 or v10.7.2 Lion
To make sure click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click:
About This Mac
If it says: v10.7.1 or v10.7.2 since new Macs do not come with optical discs you need to use Lion Recovery in order to reinstall Safari.

How can I disable Safe Mode permanently?
I'm one of many people who use a Firefox addon called 'Leechblock' to help combat the tendency to waste time online by visiting time-wasting sites, or in my case - visiting porn sites. Leechblock helped, because it allowed me to ban the sites and search terms I would habitually go for. The only problem is that I'm now aware I can circumvent the whole ban thing by hitting 'Shift' when I click FIrefox and opening up the Safe Mode, this allows me to freely search for porn and\or disable the addon.
I know that several other people use Leechblock for the same purpose, and we've all come up against this - if we could disable Safe mode on our own version of Firefox, it'd take considerably more effort to get back in and fall back to those bad habits.
Others have posted instructions for disabling Safe Mode, but they've only worked with much older versions of Firefox. Is anyone with the experience able to dedicate a little bit of time to figuring out and explaining for the non-technical user how to do this on the latest version of Firefox?
Your help would be much appreciated, not only by me but by others with the same issue. Thanks!See:

How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work
Hi rafharum,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

Disable "Safe Mode with Networking in Windows 7"
Hello,
Does anyone know, how to disable "Safe Mode With Networking" option from Windows 7 boot menu?
Kind Regards
Kalle ReiviläHi,
Base on my research, there’s no official method to disable Safe Mode with networking in Windows 7.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thank You .This is what I was afraid.
I work at school and We have one problematic classroom. It's http traffic is blocked by a FSecure's firewall, but students have figured out a way. They boot computers to safe mode with networking and after that
they have access to the Internet! Now We have to change Microsofts's own firewall.

I recently spilled a drink on my Macbook, and it has caused sticky keys, including a shift key that just will not un-press. As a result of that, every time I boot, it puts me into safe boot mode.
Is there any workaround for this that will make Leopard either ignore the shift keypress, or just disable safe boot altogether (not wise, I'm aware, but a suitable last resort), or perhaps disable the Macbook's keyboard, since I have an external I can use.Click here and follow the instructions.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions. -
Permanent fix for disabling safe sleep?
I am frustrated with my MacBook Pro's safe sleep 'feature'. I found the standard way of de-activating it (with the pmset commands), and this works in the short term, but within a few days, either through changing the energy settings or other ways, it always reverts to the original setting of having safe sleep activated.
I found SmartSleep, which allows one to turn off safe sleep without typing the pmset commands, but no luck - after a few days, it will revert to safe sleep.
This is very frustrating, and I'm not sure how to permanently disable this. I have read people suggesting writing a startup script, but I hardly ever reboot my laptop (the only times I have are after typing the pmset commands!) so this wouldn't really solve the problem.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix for this?
Thanks!The terminal commands are the most permanent way you'll find.
Here's the issue: If you launch Energy Saver and choose ANY of Apple's pre-defined settings like "longer battery life," safe sleep is automatically turned on. To avoid this, you must avoid selecting any of the default power configurations. You can still manually set the sleep and display timers, you just can't use Apple's predefined profiles.
Make sure you delete the virtual memory space reserved for safe sleep after you disable it, too. Here's the link:

Help! Pop ups disabled but.. it doesnt work! :(
need some serious help guys. No matter which web browser i use, either safari or chrome, the pop ups KEEP COMING OUT. I have already disabled it in the system preferences, I have installed ClamXAV to run through my laptop(no results of any "infection"), but it just, DOESNT WORK. I didn't have this issue before, and its really annoying the shi* out of me. pop ups keep appearing no matter which website i go, or where i click. (alibaba, mac keeper, videos...) URGH.
PLEASE HELP!!!!Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, download and run Adware Medic. The second link is a direct download; if you're unable to download it, see this page.
ClamXav didn't detect anything because adware and viruses are different types of malware.

Safari browser pop-up disabled use of "Safari" tab
I have a Macbook Air with Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a 1.3 GHz processor. Safari keeps displaying a spam site upon opening with a pop-up that prevents the use of the "Safari" tab at the top of the screen. How do I reset Safari without that tab?
This is a very common scam. You don't need to download anything to fix it.
Force Safari to quit by following these instructions: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit.
Hold a Shift key while launching Safari again.
If that does not fix the problem:
Force Safari to quit again.
Disconnect from the Internet by selecting Wi-Fi "off" in the Mac's menu bar, or disconnecting its Ethernet cable if you're not using wireless.
Launch Safari again by holding a Shift key. No pages will be able to load since you're not connected to the Internet.
Select the Safari menu > Preferences > General, and review your home page selection.
Select Remove All Website Data... > Remove Now.
After you reconnect to the Internet, you will need to sign in again with all websites that require authentication (such as this one).
Turn Wi-Fi back on again or reconnect your Ethernet cable.
You'll be back in business.
In an abundance of caution, consider the following additional actions. They are not required to eliminate the scam webpage but you should review them to determine certain Safari settings have not been unexpectedly altered.
Open Safari's Preferences... and select Extensions. Uninstall any Extensions that you are not certain you require by clicking the Uninstall button. If you are not sure what to uninstall, uninstall all of them. None are required for normal operation.
Select the Privacy pane. Verify "Block cookies and other website data" is configured the way you expect. If you are uncertain, choose "From third parties and advertisers". -

Is it possible to disable safe-boot (shift key during boot)? I have just discovered that safe boot overides the firewall I have installed (Norton) and gives access to internetservices I want to block out. It is very important for me that nobody can access the web without going through Norton .
Sven,
I gather you're concerned that someone else using the Mac may intentionally restart it in Safe Mode to bypass your security settings? As Allan has noted, there don't seem to be any ready methods to disable Safe Boot on Macs (not unless you want to try rewriting the launchd daemon, or change Norton Firewall's driver KEXT Info.plist files to change the OSBundleRequired values).
However, you can implement the Open Firmware Password to restrict others from restarting the computer (in either Safe or normal boot modes).
If you know the particular firewall settings that Norton implements that you can't normally access using the built-in OS X Firewall, look over the Firewall section (4.10) of Corsaire: Securing Mac OS X. -
How to force a Mail account to use IMAP instead of POP?
I'm trying to setup a new mail account on my wife's iPhone 3G (4.2.1) and after putting in the in initial info (name, e-mail address, password), Mail picks up the POP server information (which is valid), but I don't want to use POP, I want to use IMAP. I know that the account supports IMAP as it's configured and working in Outlook. Changing the incoming server from pop.netcabo.pt to imap.netcabo.pt (which I know is the correct server) does nothing, it still functions as a POP server.
I know that in some cases a big IMAP/POP selection button appears at the top of the mail configuration screen but in this case it doesn't. There appears to be no way to force iPhone Mail to use IMAP.
The only way I know to get around this, which is a pain in the ***, is to configure the account as IMAP in OS X Mail and then sync the account to the iPhone, but I don't want to go there if I don't have to.If your having problems getting your Apple Mail or Mac Mail to sync across your devices, I thought this might be helpful. It could be because you have your email accounts set up with POP rather than IMAP configuration. Try this solution.
I had set up my gmail account a long time ago (5 years) before I know the differnce between POP and IMAP. IMAP allows you to sync across devices... POP is OLD SCHOOL technology of the 90's. Now that I know better, and have more than one device I want to sync, so I want to change the settings in mac mail to convert the gmail emails from a POP account type to an IMAP accont type, but I cannot afford to loose all of my previous emails that I'd saved (100's of them), which is what will happend if you delete this account to start anew.
Odly, even after I set up the email as IMAP in gmail, it still did not update the account type in Apple Mail. Apparently this has to be done from scratch.
!.WARNING, BEFORE PROCEDING THROUGHT THE FOLLOWING, BACK UP YOUR MAC.!
What worked for me was actually rather simple, but to be safe BACK UP.
Note: It did dissassociate all of my "Signatures" but did not erase them from my email acconts (I have 14 email accounts with google apps). Your exprience could be different, so please ba safe and back up.
1) First I dissabled the existing email account in my Apple Mail program.
2) Then recreated the account from scratch as an IMAP.*
* Be sure to change the account to an IMAP in gmail first (Click the Gear on the right > Settings > Forwarding & POP IMAP > Disable POP then Enable IMAP
***Deactivating took the account out of view (hidden) but retained all of the saved emails from the past. At the same time it allowed me to recreate the account in Apple Mail from scratch and it auto pulled up the IMAP configuration, with the same gmail account I was using before set up as POP. ***
Now I'm left with the best of both worlds and all syncs perfectly.
Just don't forget and accidentally delete the inactive account, or you will lose ALL of the emails you saved during the time when the old POP email account was active.
Good Luck! -
Hi everyone,
My mac mini is new. I have a few issues with it.
But the most annoying is the malwares that infested it now. I have only been using it for about 3 weeks or so. Of course, I thought everything that popped up are safe to click and just standard to click. I don't know yet what's best. Either, I figure out how to remove these ads / malwares or I just thought of reformatting it and start anew with it.
What would you guys recommend and please include steps for me to follow. I'm no techy.
By the way, I do not see these extensions on my Finder files (Conduit, also known as Trovi, MyBrand, or Search Protect, etc.) As a matter of fact, my extensions folder is empty except for the Adblock and AdBlock Plus that I recently installed to kill the ads. However, it worked but it didn't stop MacKeeper and Facebook ads from popping to a new window each time I click a link, or just a space on a safari)
On YouTube, when I watch a video, every second, the other videos are pushed down for as long as i watch, they are kept being pushed down. These are done by ads that are being stopped by the AB and ABP. yes, the ads do not appear. Just a white space forever adding up. Very frustrating. Please help.
Thanks in advance!How to uninstall MacKeeper - updated

If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
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.

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.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
