Pop Up won't go away!!!

Yesterday I was having Facebook issues. So I searched online for tips. I heard about FourSquare and how people seemed to like it better. So I downloaded it to my phone. When it was finished, I got this pop-up that filled the screen that says "The application FourSquare has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy." Which, fine ... but the pop-up WILL NOT go away. I can't fix it. I can't go to the normal screen. On the popup there's a little red "ok" button that won't let me click it to go away. I've tried turning my phone off and on a few times. I've tried pulling the battery a few times. Is there a re-set button somewhere I don't know about? Is there anything else I can do?? Please, I can't use my phone at all.
HELP!

Just so you know ... my problem is fixed. I downloaded the latest Desktop Manager and connected my phone to my computer. I opened Apploader and deleted Foursquare from my phone. It rebooted itself and when it turned back on, the pop-up was gone!!!

Pop up won't go away... Can't access safari

I opened a web page, same one I do several times a week to watch a tv show ( have been using the same site for the past 4+ Years), and a pop up popped up with an additional pop up box with an "okay" to click and it just keeps coming back. It says malware detected call this number. Yea, those pop ups come up all the time as spam scam and I can cancel out of them. But this one just won't go away. I can't cancel out or access safari preferences to delete history. I Did a reboot at and all previous pages came right back, same thing when I force quit. How do I fix this. Please help!

Force Quit .
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select the Safari if not already.

Sstem preferences - Network - this message pop up won't go away

This is an Airport card I installed in the iMac G4, so I'm not sure if it's called Airport Express per se.
Here's my issue:
I just connected to the internet via Airport Card. So when I go into System preferences, click 'Network', this drop down message that reads 'Your network settings have been changed by another application' keeps popping down. Even after I click 'OK', it just keeps coming & coming. So I can't get it to go away.
Here's what happened. Airport card is installed. Then, I turned on airport by clicking on the grey Airport icon on tool bar right hand side. Got it turned on. I also click 'Open Internet Connect' to check status. Does this have anything to do with the annoying pop down message? Now I can't get into System preferences, Network pane at all.
Also, how do I go about setting a password to prevent something from using my wireless connection. I noticed that when I click the Airport icon, other wireless networks also show up.
I could get on some other network, but for others, a window pops up with 'Wireless Security: WPA Personal, and asks for password. How do I get my wireless network to do the same?
Thanks.

suggests going from the top level of your main disk to /Library/Preferences, then moving the folder SystemComfiguration out of there (perhaps to the Desktop for temporary storage until you want to delete it). Reboot your Mac, then redeclare your network preferences and see if things work better.

HT4651 Malware pop-ups won't go away!

Help - a couple of pop-ups appeared when I typed in Facebook address wrong, now I can't get rid of them, Safari won't let me close it down, and Shutdown doesn't work, saying Safari hasn't allowed it to, until I quit Safari, which I can't. What to do?!

Thanks - no force-quit seems to come up from Safari icon, just a Quit, which doesn't do anything.
If all you saw was QUIT in the menu, you probably did not have the OPTION key held when you clicked on the option. That is, press the OPT (option) key when you click.
If you're at 10.7.2, your system is down-revision. Please run software update. Click on the Apple menu in the upper left, and select Software Update.
Beyond Java (which is not installed on Lion and later, by default), another common target for security attacks is Adobe Flash. I've removed that from most of the that systems that I deal with. Visit the Adobe web site and use their deinstaller to get rid of the Flash Player tool. (If you don't remove it, you'll find you're updating that tool fairly regularly, and OS X will automatically disable a down-revision Flash Player in recent versions, pending the update or the removal.)

Pop-ups won't go away

I keep getting pop-ups when I get on safari. It get a pop-up on the top of my browser but I can't exit out of it and on the side. Sometimes, when I click on link, it redirects me to a website that I didn't intend to go to. I went to safari-preferences-extensions, and turned it off. I still keep getting these pop-ups. How do I get rid of all this?

This can happen if adware is installed without your knowledge.
1. Use free AdwareMedic to remove adware
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
   Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
             or
   Remove the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.

2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari.
    Turn those on one by one and test.

A pop-up about iCloud back-up came up on my iPad and won't go away, help/solutions please?

iCloud does a back-up every two weeks on my iPad but my internet has stopped working the past two weeks, now that it is fixed this icon still will not go away. It says;
'iCloud Backup
This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi'
with a button underneath saying OK. It won't let me click off it to do anything else. It won't even allow me to turn it off.
I have tried doing what it says but nothing changes. It has been two days now and still no change.
Can someone please help me solve this, thanks

The same problem happened on my iPhone but my home button is not working anymore. What else can I do to reset the phone as I can't use it if the pop up doesn't go away.

HT1349 Last week I was prompted to do an update on my MacBook Pro which I did & now different things keep popping up asking for passwords for a keychain & it won't go away. I don't know what these are & I don't know how to access them. Help me please

Last week I was prompted to do an update on my Mac Book Pro which I did. Ever since I did the update a box keeps popping up asking for login info for my keychains & they won't go away. I have no clue what these keychains are & I don't know how to find them & know the passwords for each of them. Plus now I don't get my email on here either. Please help me...

Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

There is a pop up on my safari that won't go away

i have a pop up on my safari saying that I need to call a toll free number to contact apple support because there is some sort of security issue. I tried clicking ok and x but that doesn't work. I then checked here and have seen that people have the same problem however, all the answers were for Macs. Does anyone know how to get rid of it on an iPhone 6?

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
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.

I keep getting pop ups from spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else.

I keep getting pop ups from your spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else. It is extremely annoying.

Mozilla Firefox does '''not''' support/endorse/encourage spyware advertisers.
If you think these popups are from spyware advertisers, you should try to scan and remove the spyware from your system. This article has more information on how to do that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Spyware_on_Windows Spyware on Windows].
In future, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus Adblock Plus add-on] to block such ads.

Game Center won't go away

So, a while ago, I jailbroke my iPod. It was going well, but then I installed something that made me reset my iPod. Okay, that's fine and dandy, everything's fine, reset and looks fine. But now my iPod won't open calendar or mail, play videos, or let me sign into Game Center. I wouldn't normally care about this, but whenever I open a game that has GC, the pop up comes up and no matter what I do, It won't go away. I've clicked the "Cancel" button more times than I can count, and signing in will just go on forever (literally, I left it signing in for an entire day and nothing happened). I've also tried the "Click the cancel button, close the app and do it again" method. But that doesn't do anything.
I'd like to be able to play my games that have gamecenter without having to go into airplane mode or go somewhere where there isn't wifi. It limits my ability to play where I want, and my ability to make online purchases, as well as play online with my friends.
Does someone know of a way that you can disable Game Center without actually using the app or the iPod?
Thanks,
-Silent
P.S: I've already tried to restore my iPod a second time to see if that would work; iTunes wouldn't let me.

Help! Network error won't go away

I was setting up my Mac G4 running Tiger and was going to connect it to the network. I opened the Network Prefs and I get a drop-down error message that says "Your Network settings have been changed by another application."
This error message won't go away; if I click OK then the message just comes back. I have to force quit Network Preferences. There is no way to access network prefs while the error message appears. This message appears whether I'm connected (via ethernet) to the router or not.
I don't know what application could have changed my settings or how to change them back or how to make that error message go away. Any suggestions? Thanx.

Hi Ken,
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...
