Problem with constant popping adds on safari

Hello everybody,
I'm having trouble with safari. Adds windows are constantly opening themselves whenever I click on a page or there are constant nasty adds on the side of whenever I do a research on Google, this happens ..
(I typed netflix and i have at leats a dozen of add links before the pertinent results)
All of those stuffs have been happening since I've downloaded something down in May or June and it had never happened before. I've deleted it shortly after but the adds and nasty stuffs are still there and it is really really annoying!
A friend of mine advise me to install another browser to see if it would happen as well and it did.
Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Clothilde

Is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Problem with "Scroll to" SVG on Safari Yosemite

Hello,
I have recently released my new portfolio:
http://www.nerisson.fr
We have used some svgs, and "scroll to" on buttons to navigate on my website.
When we click on a button "works" from the homepage or "read more" from the page "Who am I", the "scroll to" have some lag... And the header pop directly with no transition...
Have you an idea to fix it?
(You can view on Chrome or Firefox, to see the right comportment)
PS : We haven't problem with the previous version of safari

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -

Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
such things -

I have a problem with the pop-up prompt to enter my serial number for installation, it won't pop up when I entered the redemption code. Can someone help?

I have a problem with the pop-up prompt to enter my serial number for installation, it won't pop up when I entered the redemption code. Can someone help?

There is no pop up. There is a window that is part of the installation process. If you entered a wrong number, like a redemption code, you would have wound up installing it as a trial. In that case, go to the Help menu in the editor and look for an option there.
If that isn't what you're talking about, you really need to explain in more detail.

Need more details. What is your appstore error exactly? and what happens when you try to use Safari?

I'm having problems with my touch screen in Safari

Shortly after downloading iOS 8.0, I started having trouble with my touchscreen when in Safari. Note: I am not necessarily attributing the problem to iOS 8.0--just stating when it began to occur.
Touch commands began to not work with certain buttons on certain websites. Often, the websites seemed to freeze up. I could sometimes get the touch commands to work again if I refreshed the page.
My most frustrating encounter happened this evening, when I tried to make a purchase from a retail website I use frequently. I could use the touchscreen to accomplish all the steps in the shopping process but one: I could not get the "cart" button to work, so I could not get to the checkout screen. I refreshed and rebooted. I even downloaded iOS 8.1 and tried it again. Nothing worked. Finally, I used my wife's iPad Mini to place the order. My wife has not downloaded the new iOS 8 (neither 8.0 nor 8.1). Again, I am not necessarily implying it worked on her iPad Mini because she had not downloaded the new operating system--just stating that she had not done so.
Any idea what might be causing this? It does not appear to be a hardware problem, as my touchscreen seems to work fine in other applications.

DId you try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset the iPad?
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Problem with one POP account

I'm having major problems with a single POP account, using Mail 3.3. It was there with 10.5.2 and persists with upgrade to 10.5.3. I have 5 accounts (3 POP, 2 IMAP) and all work fine except one and that one no longer can receive mail-haven't seen any new mail in about a week. When I attempt to import mail the activity indicator just spins but nothing shows up. Have also tried to thin it out but mail I thought was deleted shows up again. Any ideas-this is pretty frustrating!

I recently have been trying to find out why my email won't go online. A window pops up stating The identity of "pop.qwestoffice.net" cannot be verified. The certificate for this server is invalid. You may be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "pop.qwestoffice.net" putting information at risk. It asks to connect anyway? Anyone out there have a clue? I am losing my contacts with my clients.

Problems with processing files uploaded from Safari browsers

I have a jsp that allows users to upload files via a secure form and the standard html <input type=”file” … > tag.
For complex reasons I need to get the contents of the HttpServletRequest into a character array. Basically my code looks like this:
BufferedReader reader = request.getReader();
char[] ba = (char[]) Array.newInstance(char.class, MAXFILESIZE);
int total = 0;
int charsRead =0;
while ((charsRead = reader.read(ba, total, 1024)) > -1)
total += charsRead;
When the request is submitted by a Safari browser, approximately 70% of the time, the very first reader.read does not return a result. After about 2 minutes, I get a SocketTimeoutException. On the client side, Safari shows a “loading ….” Message and after 5 minutes reverts to a blank screen – unsurprisingly since the server never serves up a response.
By way of comparison, when the transaction is successful, the process takes less than 1 second.

This problem occurs regardless of file size and even if Safari is told to report itself as firefox. This problem has not once occurred with any of IE 5,6 or 7 or Firefox 1.* and 2.*
I have not been able to test this with Safari 3 Beta for Mac or Windows.
Environment:
Client is Mac OS-X 10.4.10 with Safari: 2.0.4
Server is Websphere 5.1

Since a few hours, I have the same problem like you. I uninstalled Firefox, because I thought it was a problem with it, but then i started Safari to redownload Firefox and guess what happened.. nothing. I can't download anything. don't know why. does anyone know whats wrong??

"Outlook has experienced a serious problem with iCloud Outlook add in"

January 9, 2013 - I have been getting this message on and off for the past few weeks. The message goes on to suggest disableing the add in to stop the problem and avoid damage to my computer (PC with Windows 7 / 64 bit with Outlook 2012 and an up-to-date iCloud). Disableing the add-in does stop the problem, but then, of course, nothing on iCloud (contacts, notes, etc.) syncs any more. How do I fix this? I have a short term memory disorder and rely on my iStuff to get me through the day.

Thank you for your quick reply. Here are the answers to your questions.
1. The file I'm having issues with was not created using any version of Presenter. It is simply a PowerPoint file.
2. The file is a PPT not PPTX.
3. I am running Windows7 and Office 2010.
I think I might have found the solution to the problem. I opened the PPT file and saved it as a PPTX file. Then I clicked the Presenter option in the PowerPoint toolbar and was able to select different Presenter options with no issues. I opened other PPTX files and I did not get the error window stating 'PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in'.
This seems to work. So, it appears that any PPT file needs to be saved as a PPTX file before using Presenter. If you have another solution that I might be able to keep in my back pocket (in case this happens again and what I did does not work), then please answer. Otherwise, I'm good now.
Thanks!

Problems with YouTube - iPad app and Safari on iPad

Recently, I have started to encounter problems with YouTube on the iPad. The first is the desktop version of YouTube on safari. At first it worked fine, but a few days ago, whenever I try to watch a video, the playing area stays black and a message appears saying 'This video is currently unavailable.' One 'solution' I found online was to switch to the HTML5 video player in 'TestTube.' However, as the videos had been working before I didn't see why it was necessary, and anyway when I tried it only a few videos worked, with the rest showing the same message I described earlier. The mobile version of the YouTube site woks fine.
The second problem lies with the subscriptions feature of the YouTube app. When I tap the subscriptions button, not all of them show up. I've tried finding a video by the user I want to subscribe to, tapping 'More From', followed by 'Subscribe,' but this brings up the error message 'YouTube not avaliable.' Subscribing to any other channel from the app works fine.
Thanks - any help with either porblem would be greatly appreciated! I don't really want to go to the Apple store, and my free telephone support that came with the iPad finished some time ago.

OMG Apple, I'm am fed up with this stupid YouTube problem I paid $500 for my iPad if not more, and I expect better! I cannot view official music videos, episodes and I can't even view 2 out of 10 videos I search for. stop trying to make people buy from your stupid iTunes store and let them be able to view all videos on YouTube. Anyone who asks me if I'd recommend and iPad, you know what I say? Its not worth the money because the reason I got an iPad was being able to have freedom just like a pc and clearly I don't have that. They ask me; can an iPad do everything a pc can do, and I say no it can't, all because I can't view videos properly on YouTube. I'm 15 and saved for an iPad and it took me 2 years, $500 I regret spending!
Kind regards

Problem with Gmail, Adobe site, Opera, Safari...

Hi guys,
Hope you can help me asap.
I have installed OSX Mountain Lion few minutes ago, but I have a lot of problems...
1.) I cannot access Gmail in Opera (opera web browser) - I have the latest version, also trying reinstall it. It just says:
Secure connection: fatal error (49)
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&cont inue=http://mail.google.com/mail/&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2
The certificate is valid, but permission denied.
I know, Opera isn't the best web browser, but because of my work, I need to use atleast 2 web browsers together... so I use Opera and Safari.
Never before had this problem with Opera.
2.) I cannot acces some sites on Safari... For example adobe.com (and it works in Opera...)
For example I cannot access adobe site:
Safari can't connect to this server
Safari can't open the page "http://www.adobe.com/ because Safari can't connect to the server "www.adobe.com".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Filip

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.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Problems with Podcasts & Library Adds

I'm having two problems, and I'm guessing they're related.
On my Quicksilver tower, with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.6, I've had a hard time adding MPG-4 videos and MP3 audio to my Library. The files just aren't recognized no matter how many times I tried to add them. I had the same problem with my previous version of iTunes, which might have been iTunes 7.5. I figured an install of the newest iTunes would solve the problem, but it still exists.
On the same configuration, I'm having problems with subscribed podcasts. Some podcasts come through as subscribed, but I haven't been able to download certain podcasts, specifically videos from Lynda.com. When I was at MacWorld, I asked representatives of Lynda.com if others had this problem, but I guess I was the only one.
On my Powerbook G4, running OS 10.4.10, iTunes 7.3.1, I have no problems with the podcasts or adding files.
Solutions anyone?
On a similar note, does anyone know why my video iPod won't play certain MPG-4 files? What are the spec requirements?

So far, nobody on the Apple forum has provided me with ANY feedback. Luckily, I'm getting some feedback on MacFixitForums.
Maybe it's a Quicktime problem?
The "GOOD" computer configuration has QT 7.2 with iTunes 7.3.1.
The "BAD" computer configuration has QT 7.4 with iTunes 7.6.
All my MPEG-4 clips were converted with either iSquint or Visual Hub.
Now... how to fix the problem....??? Can I even download the old versions of QT & iTunes?

Problem with Downloaded Content Add-ons - PE9 Trial

I have recently installed the PE9 trial on my Windows 7 PC. It is all working well except I have some questions about the Content Add-ons that can be downloaded from the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/special/premiereel/downloads/. I was prompted to download these within PE9.
I note that for each of the 3 available content packages (i.e. 1, 2 and 3) , there is a HD version and what I assume to be a non-HD version. Is the idea that you need to download both, and use the HD version when working on HD projects, and the non-HD version for standard definition projects. Are they otherwise identical?
When I download the non-HD versions, they appear in both my standard definition and HD projects. The HD version also appears in both project types but when I view the available themes in PE9 the thumbnails for the HD project themes are all greyed out (whereas the thumbnails for the non-HD themes display a sample picture). Also, when I click on the HD themes they don't play any sample audio, whereas the non-HD themes do. Has anyone got any ideas why this would be occurring and how I can fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.
Assuming that I am eventually able to get the HD thumbnails to display correctly, I am curious to know how you can tell whether a particular theme thumbnail is HD or non-HD given that they both appear in both standard definition and HD projects.
This has got me quite confused, and any help would be appreciated.
Given that every user that downloads the PE9 Trial is prompted to download the Content Add-ons, I really think that Adobe is doing themselves a disservice by not providing more clarity on the differences between the Content Add-ons. Just a brief explanation on the download site would be helpful.
If anyone from Adobe is reading this, there is the following typo on the download site: "HD content1: Themed content includes HD content includes Birthday Party, Road Trip, Outdoor".

Thanks for the advice Steve. Do you have any ideas as to why when I view the available themes under the Disc Menus tab the thumbnails for the HD project themes are all greyed out whereas the thumbnails for the non-HD themes display a sample picture. Also, when I click on the HD themes they don't play any sample audio, whereas the non-HD themes do.
Is this normal, or could this be a problem with the trial version?
I am really loving PE9, and I would really like to work this out.

Problem with constant "Allow application to use ne...

I just bought this phone today (first Nokia phone) and I'm having a pretty irritating issue with the error message: "Allow application to use network and send or receive data?" This seems to only happen with my Gmail, fring, and eBuddy applications. My other applications (like Opera Mini for instance) will ask only once when the app first starts or not at all.
After a bit of Googling and searching the forum I found out that I can go to Settings>Application Manager>Installed Apps, then click the program and change settings for Access Point and Network Access. Only problem is that for the affected programs the only options under Network access are Ask every time and Not allowed. I've tried closing the open program and trying this, as well as with it open. I've also tried restarting the phone and uninstalling and reinstalling the phone but neither helped. I'm a little stumped and this is a big issue for me since I am planning on using those applications pretty heavily so having to constantly select Yes everytime the program accesses the Internet will be annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help.

No, unfortunately. I did a little more research and apparently the problem is caused by something AT&T did that doesn't allow unsigned apps to change permissions besides the Ask Everytime and Never Allow. And it looks unlikely that the phone will be able to be unlocked or unbranded to change this since it uses different software or something.
Which makes this phone worthless to me (well that, plus some other niggling issues). I'm keeping it until my next paycheck, then taking it back and exchanging for another phone that will do what I want. I'm a little upset at AT&T for crippling this phone like this, and I'm also upset at Nokia for allowing AT&T to cripple the phone so badly.
And scooby, what do you mean by Maps? I use the Google Maps app as well as the Telenav GPS app and neither one has a problem with receiving data. I never get prompts from either program.
