Popup adds can't be closed

Is anyone else seeing a large number of those popup adds that cover the web page with a dark gray screen but there are not X or buttons to close them in fact in most cases there is nothing but the gray transparent screen and you can't interact with the web page behind it?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)  Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories

    Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)
    I believe my problems stem from the public side of Yahoo where I go to open my Yahoo Email account, and/or from the file I get in
    email.
    Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories & cookies & flash cookies but the problem returns, sometimes right away, sometime on the next log on … what to do … . I’ve heard of this problem being called a form of ‘yahoo mail hijacking’.
    Yahoo is better than Google right now. While using Google as a search engine and logged into Yahoo-mail the page elevator (up& down) bar actually freezes, a dead giveaway that something is up. So far nothing I do will stop the page elevator from freezing when I'm using the Google search engine. I either have to use the Yahoo or Bing search engines.
    MacPro w/OS X ver 10.7.5 & Norton Internet Security 5 for Mac ver 12.4 (73) /  I update Norton security at least 3-times a day. I thing I get the bug when I log onto my Yahoo Email and go through my emails. When problems get constant I Reset Safari then run flush to burn flash cookies. What else can I do?
    Yahoo wanted $58-bucks for a consult, that’s ********. You would think Yahoo would want to be advised of ongoing Yahoo Searchengine / Yahoo Email problems, and want to help there users with ongoing problems. Sure they will help me with their problem for $58, and probably even suggest even less than what I am already doing on my own.

    It's hard to tell from your description what is going on, but try this first.
    Quit Safari. If it won't quit in the usual way, select
     ▹ Force Quit...
    from the menu bar, then select Safari from the list and press return.
    Relaunch Safari by holding down the shift  key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the bad page from reloading automatically. From the menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Also get rid of the useless Norton crapware, after backing up all data.

This is a problem I can't seem to get rid of and my virus and add blocking software don't seem to get rid of the or block them??????

  • How do I forget popups every time it's closed?

    I tried using this:
    on closeWindow
    window(2).forget()
    end
    in the Director file of the pop up and it works if only one
    pop up is opened at a time, but when multiple pop ups exist then it
    will forget the 2nd popup that is opened. Is there a way to tell
    the popup that has just been closed to forget itself?

    > on closeWindow
    > window(2).forget()
    > end
    You can use 'the activeWindow' to target the window in which
    your code
    is currently running:
    on closeWindow
    (the activeWindow).forget()
    end
    However, as Dave suggests this will eventually cause a crash
    since you
    are removing from RAM the file that is currently executing.
    I use a parent script/child object and a timeout object
    scoped to the
    stage window to forget windows "safely":
    -- parent script: window.closer.class
    -- example usage (#movie script handler):
    --on closeWindow
    -- t =
    script("window.closer.class").new(_player.activeWindow)
    --end
    property pWindow
    on new me, aWindow
    pWindow = aWindow
    pWindow.forget()
    t = window("stage").movie.timeOut().new(string(me), -1,
    #mClose, me)
    end
    on mClose me, aTimer
    aTimer.forget()
    end

  • I have an open purchase which can't be closed as the purchase is still on my old credit card. I want to update but need to update my country as well - can't because I need to close the purchase. What should I do?

    I have an open purchase on itunes which can't be closed becuase my credit card expired. I want to update my billing info but cant becuase it keeps saying that I have an open purchase that needs to be closed first. I also need to change my country because the new credit card is where I'm currently staying and it doesn't want to change my country as there is an open purchase. How do I fix this problem?

    Hello vermeulenbraam,
    I recommend reporting a problem directly to the iTunes Store support directly:

  • How we can Reverse the closed Production Order (REVERSAL)

    Dear All
    How we can Reverse the Closed  Production Order Which one is confirmed before 5 or 6 month ..Actually i want to reverse the production order  with old pricing.Not with present pricing.
    Rgds
    Pankaj Agarwal

    You can reverse a production order using fucntions --> Restricit Processing --> Revoke Closing.
    But if you want to reverse the materials consumed with the older pricing it is not posible as per my knowledge, as the periods would be closed and you can only reverse in the present period and also that all the settlements would have affected on the order and material.

  • I have an unnamed window which can not be closed, what can I do?

    Hi!
    I have a window titled as "unnamed window" which can not be closed. I am unable to get its PID. Neither Xkill utility and Xprop doesn't work. Xprop doesn't report anything when I click on it.

    I know it was said in jest (Or I think it was), but even in the worst case, there is no need to reboot - just restart X.
    I suspect the name "unnamed window" is not useful, as that is likely the window manager's default when it either cant get the window attributes, or when the window attributes contain a NULL string.
    I am also guessing this is a tilingWM - is this awesomewm?  I suspect this as I've seen this problem with some programs that crash after having mapped a window but before they have drawn anything to it.  This window will remain in the WM's listing of windows, but it will not be at all functional.  Often it will not even be "visible" - but if you have a  tiling wm, it will take up a tile space.
    I've been thinking of writing a little utility to remove such dead-windows.

  • Appraisal document can never be closed

    we have a requirement for appraisal documents to be closed by HR Centre in batch using t-code PHAP_ADMIN->Change Status.
    so the employees/managers must be prevented from being able to close documents using the status flow of the iVivew "Appraisal Document".
    so how do I configure my status flow in PHAP_CATALOG so that the last step (Completed) is not called? the step 'completed' is checked automatically by the system and if I do not have a state transition pushbutton to 'Completed' the consistency check fails with error "appraisal document can never be closed".
    any idea?
    Tiberiu

    We had similar requirement and what we did to fool the system is to configure a pushbutton in the status before "Completed" and set the target status to  "Completed" and then save and then remove the button (by selecting blank in the dropdown) then save again. You'll notice that the target status field will not be cleared (i.e. it will still show that the target status is completed) even though there is no pushbutton.

  • How do I restart forcefully while one program I've downloaded online (PDFpen) can't be closed neither removed?!!

    How do I restart forcefully while one program I've downloaded online (PDFpen) can't be closed neither removed?!!

    Hold down the power button until the screen goes black if it's really necessary.
    In your case, you can force quit.
    When an app won't quit as it should, click Force Quit from your Apple  drop down menu or press Option + Command + Esc.
    Select the app then click Force Quit.
    That way it's not necessary to shut down your Mac.
