Pop ups on Safari

I have always blocked pop ups on Safari, but lately I'm getting them anyway. Any ideas on why that would be and what I can do to stop it. They are VERY annoying!

True. Very annoying.
Safari 5
Blocking pop-up windows stops only those windows that appear when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link.

I have enabled pop ups through safari preferences but a website is still saying that they must be enabled. I have tried this on other browers after quiting and restarting after changing the preferences

How about extensions? Perhaps you have an adblock extension installed.
Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions

How to block pop-ups in Safari 8

How do I block pop-ups in Safari 8.
Since I purchased a new Mac with system 10,2, Safari is driving me nuts with constant pop-ups
The is no «block pop-up windows» in this version.

Safari 8's control for this is in the Security tab of its preferences, and is on by default.
If needed, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

How to allow pop-ups in Safari for all users

How do you allow Safari pop-ups for all users? After rolling out 50 Mac OSX with Safari comes default with Safari pop-ups disabled, now I must allow pop-ups for all users logging in.
Good day!

Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator

How do I allow pop ups in safari without being asked "block or allow" ?

I'm assuming that when I turned on the setting in Safari to allow pop-ups, I wouldn't have to tell the browser to allow or block every single pop up after that. Is there a combination of settings to make allow pop-ups without the additional "block or allow" message from popping up before the pop up window.
I used a 3rd party web application that has been coded for their drill-down messages to be displayed in another screen and I have no control over that.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Well, not that helpful unless you can determine if that window is coming from Safari or iOS or from whatever the other "3rd party web application" you were talking about.
If you don't want to play in that pool, then assume that iOS and/or Safari are working incorrectly. Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
So .. start at #1.

I'm getting annoying pop-ups on Safari; MacKeeper, Free Cam Secrets, Chrome User Survey.

I've followed (I believe correctly) the directions in The Safe Mac to check the launch files and it always says nothing is found. I've also checked Safari's Extensions. The only thing I've done recently is install Photoshop Elements 10. Other than that, nothing's changed. I don't know what more to do and I've got a tremendous headache! Please help. (If I've not posted correctly here, I apologize; this is my first time doing this.) BTW, I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels but that hasn't presented any problem. The pop-ups started in just the last few days.

I appreciate any help I can get.

The router has been hacked to direct DNS queries to a malicious server.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reset it to the default state. Usually that involves inserting the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool into a pinhole somewhere in the back of the device, and pressing a switch inside for about 15 seconds. The pinhole may be marked "RESET."
Repeat the initial setup process. Make sure the router does not allow remote setup from the Internet (WAN port), if it has that feature—most do. The DNS servers should be set automatically by your ISP.
If you have a wireless network, it must be secured with WPA 2 encryption. The passwords for the network and the router must each be a string of at least 10 random upper- and lower-case letters and digits, and they should be different. Any password that you can remember is weak.

How do I stop pop-ups in Safari beyond "block pop-up windows" since that does not work

Do I type more details here? Do I take pictures? Change my font? Why????
WHY can't I simply ask a question and get other users to comment or answer the question? You have made everything so much more complicated.
When I go into the Apple store and present these issues, I get silly grins and tee-hees followed by "yeah, this is the way they do it now."
At one point I am asked if I "LIKE" something. Who cares? Just fix the darn computer! What are tags and why?
Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday.

Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site. This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue. I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

Get rid of "SEE MORE" pop ups on Safari pages

I have picked up a bug somewhere. I get pop ups on any sight I go using Safari. Also on eBay, a pop up of similar items appear covering the other views of the product. It has an X on the corner, but the Orange See More is more annoying and you have to be careful not to click on it, or it will take you to some other site.

What is going on with pop ups in Safari?

This has never happened to me in all the years of owning macs.... it's rather disturbing!
I've got a new intel iMac and believe since trying to install a 'player' in Safari to watch football online, I now seem to be plagued by pc style popups on all web pages, I don't know how to stop them... any ideas? I have installed the Safai Popup blocker, but without success.
Many thanks

Safari - Preferences - Extensions - Add the Ad Block extension. This will block pop ups.

Too much pop-ups on Safari :(

It started the other day. I don't know what I did different but that's when the pop-ups started coming up. Just like a few minutes ago, when I clicked "Log in" here, a new pop-up tab showed up. I can't stand it anymore. Whenever I click on something, it's either a pop-up will come up from the lower left of the screen or it'll just open up in a new tab.
All the pop-ups are blocked.
Help please, thanks!
