Prevent an add-on from taking over browsing toolbar

There is some extension of sorts that keeps taking over. It's called mp3tubetoolbar and every time I go to search a word in the toolbar it pops up using this engine. How to I change this to use bing for searching, and prevent it from changing it in the future?
I already went to my add-on's and it does not list the mp3tubetoolbar, so I have no idea how to rid of it? Please advise.

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, Extensions and remove this: 
* Jookz Toolbar. 
If it doesn't make any difference, do this 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.bing.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General''' . 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
N.B. to prevent the problem recurring, watch what you do when you install a 'free' program. Most of this junk comes bundled with other apps.

HT5517 In multiple Apple TV's installation how can one prevent one iOS device from taking over the connection of another iOS device?

I am working on a system design where I would like to install 5 Apple TV's so when clients walk in with their iPhones they can connect to the network and be able to stream their audio to facility zone speakers where they will be working. But I am looking to prevent others from taking over that connection. I have never installed multiple Apple TV's in one site but I assume one would name them differently (Apple TV 1 - 5) when setting them up. I am also assuming when I walk in with my iphone and use the airplay I would see all 5 Apple TV's listed. Once I choose Apple TV 1 for instance, I do not want others to walk in and see Apple TV 1 on the list any longer so they do not have the oportunity to select it inadvertantly. Is this doable?

You can't remove them from the list, but you can set a password for airplay to each Apple TV

How do I stop Itunes from taking over my desktop when restoring?

Yes itunes decided to restore my ipad after a back up yesterday. Hate it when Itunes loses track of where everything is stored and then screws up my ipad programs.
So restoring the ipad and itunes keeps jumping to the front while nicely informing me it will take an hour etc. Which makes doing anything else very very irritating such as typing this query out as it keeps shifting back to itunes screen.
Another issue when the smaller window is running there is NO way to just have the itunes window sitting in the task bar just beeps at me when trying to minimise the window. May want to add the option as I want to be able to do other things while waiting an HOUR plus to restore my ipad after itunes screwed the ipad up and not have itunes window pop up every few mins.
Yes none of the main window buttons in itunes top right hand corner work while a smaller windows is running in itunes. Which means no minimise windows or resize. Great way to take over my desktop space WHEN I DON'T WANT YOU TO!!!!!
Please suggest some fixes before I get irritated enough to lob my computer out the window with itunes on it or just uninstall itunes and get on with my life with ALOT less hassle then this. After all I just want a program to work without monthly wierdness like screwing up my ipad programs where tapping on them will not work AFTER a backup and having to do a restore AND while doing said restore itunes takes over my desktop regularly enough to make me scream at the computer!!! And then the computer beeps at me as I am now typing into the itunes windows which makes me frustrated even more!!!
Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to prevent the text tone from playing over the speaker while in a call?

I have a custom tone for incoming text messages. When I am in a call, whether it be the handset, speaker or bluetooth, and I receive a text, the text tone plays loudly over the call, and is extremely annoying for me and the other party. It would be nice if it could just give a short quiet vibe while in a call. Please don't tell me change my text notification to vibrate. That is not a solution, I want my text tone to work, except when I'm in a call. If possible I would still like some notification, just something less intrusive. The next best thing would be to just silence it altogether when a call is in progress. Also switching the side button while in a call is not a solution as that defeats the purpose of hands-free, and also is difficult with some protective cases, Thanks in advance.

Can I keep music videos from taking over?

I like to play music while I work on my computer. At one point I began buying music videos of songs rather than audio only so most of my playlists contain a mixture of music videos and audio only tracks. Whenever a music video plays it jumps to the front, often covering my work. What's worse is that after the music video ends, if the next song is audio only, the album cover jumps to an even larger area of the screen than covered by the video! It seems like in the old days I could limit my music playback to the "Now Playing" window. I can't find that choice anywhere in preferences or menus any more.
My question is, is there any way to prevent iTunes from hijacking my screen; to hear the music but keep the associated music visuals in the background?
I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my 12-core tower, OS X, 10.6.8.
TIA,
Peter

I was also wondering if you downloaded the free trial and imported certain media.. when you actually buy final cut pro x will your media automatically be in the library? mine has expired.

How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

Pop-ups taking over browser - nothing gets rid of them

I continue to have pop-ups which completely take over Firefox - I'm not having similar problems with Safari or Internet Explorer. I have run Norton, SuperAntiSpyware, MalwareBytes, and TDSS Killer with no success. This issue is really making it difficult to use Firefox.

I note that you are using Norton safe search. I am not sure that has much if any benefit over what Firefox may do by default.
I do not see any addon listed that is likely to cause these problems.
It is possible that you have Malware that you have not yet found &/or you have not reset the changes such malware has made.
Make sure you scan with multiple and up-to-date tools.
Run scans with multiple and up-to-date tools. Hopefully it will be easily detected and removed. I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.)
Your problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]

* '''[http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ AdwCleaner: (for adware)]''''
* [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Limiting Time Machines from taking over TC

I am using my 1TB TC for TM on two Macs and the rest for the Music library (250GB) ready use video (about 220GB) and my Photo Library (30GB)
I cannot see how to stop the TM from just trying to eat all the disk space.
Where do you set - they can use up to 250GB each?
I know it is there somewhere otherwise what's the point of using TC as a NAS if all the disk disappears?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no such setting that I know of. I have seen mention of a workaround which is to create a 500gb disk image on the TC and then keep all of your other files on that disk image (NOT a sparseimage). This way 500gb is always taken up by the disk image, and TM will only have the remaining 500gb with work with. Admittedly this is not a very elegant solution, but one that should work. There is no way that I know of to allocate a certain space to each computer though. Of course you need to adjust the sizes to whatever works for you.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE AN APP THAT DISABLES THOSE YAHOO clowns FROM TAKING OVER MY SEARCH BARS.

Is there any way to get the phone from taking over...

Whenever I start my Avalon, the phone says that it is "Starting Driving Mode for You", and then starts playing music. It changes whatever channel I have on, and will even start up Audio if I have it shut off.
This is really a pain. Is there any way, short of killing the bluetooth pairing, to tell the phone to leave my radio alone?
Thanks.

Hi Jay___S,
Welcome to the forum!
For which specific phone model is this? If this is for a Lumia WP8, are you using the built-in 'driving mode' app under Settings, or a downloaded car mode app from the Store? Has the phone been paired with other Bluetooth devices aside from your Avalon carkit, like car speakers or stereos? Is your phone's software updated when checked under Settings > Phone update?
We'll wait for your response.

Opening Browser Window from Hotspot without Browser Toolbars, etc

Hi Guys
Can you help please.
I have a map with some ponds. I've made hotspots for these ponds to open separate pages with some images and info but I really don't need the page to display the toolbars and favorites, etc. I have gone into behaviors and set them to open the browser as I want when I click on the hotspot. Fine. The trouble is it also opens a full browser window as well! Can anyone point me to hoe and where I can set the behaviors so I get only one browser window, without the toolbars, etc?
Thanks & regards,
Graham

Preventing Copy & Paste from Within A Browser

I created a pdf from a WORD document. I then opened the PDF and went to ADVANCED>>SECURITY. I applied sucurity principles that would not allow copy and paste as well as printing and I locked it with a password (the document can be opened without a password).
If I try to copy and paste text with the PDF opened in Windows on my desktop, I cannot copy and paste text. However when viewing the same document within a browser (Firefox), I am easily able to copy and paste text and print. Is there a way to prevent copy and printing from within a browser?
Thanks!

PDF viewers that are compliant to the standard will not allow this. The problem is some PDF viewers are less than compliant, such as some that are built-in to browsers. It looks like Firefox's does not respect security settings.

UCCX Agent Desktop v.7 taking over Windows active session when phone rings

I'm trying to figure out how (if possible) for the Cisco UCCX Agent Desktop application from taking over a users Windows session every time the phone rings. This is very annoying and takes the end user out of what ever application they are currently in whenever their phone rings. Does anyone know how to change this?

Hi Eric,
Maybe this is better
Miscellaneous tab options.
Option Description
Window Behavior Specify how you want the Agent Desktop window to
behave:
• Normal. The window appears when calls are
present and minimizes when idle.
• Keep Open. The window is always visible, but may
be hidden by other open applications.
• Always on Top. The window is always visible and on
top of other open applications.
• Stealth. The window appears as an icon in the
system tray.

Time Machine taking over my external HD

Is there a way to stop Time Machine from taking over my external HD? I have a 1T for video and photos and previously used Retrospect for the backups. It doesn't do it automatically with the iMac Intel Processor (older version of Retrospect) so I thought Time Machine would be the answer (instead of upgrading Retrospect). However, I am not willing to give up my entire HD to Time Machine - I only want my documents backed up and then the changes to files backed up with the previous backup deleted. Is there any way to do this? I've already excluded all the apps, etc. and still end up with huge backups. And according to the info about Time Machine, it's going to keep taking over the HD until it is full!!! The Retrospect backups for the past 3 months are 3G for the original backup of documents and the current backup.
In 24 hours with Time Machine I already have 75G and counting!!!
Or do I just need to get a 2nd external HD with less memory and dedicate it to Time Machine?

Or do I just need to get a 2nd external HD with less memory and dedicate it to Time Machine?
Well, OP is considering this option, and it one way to go TM-dedicated TM external. Really their options depend on how much free space is present on their Mac internal and current external. Disk Utility erase/ partition options will reformat, quite obviously, but even if they have just one external available it is usually possible to backup video and other stored files to say DVD media while they reorganize/ reformat their backup drive.
Another choice is to turn TM off.
Due to the magic of shareware there are now third-party utilities that allow you to alter the frequency of Time Machine Back up.
