Problems with pop up blocker

My husband bought me a notebook for my birthday this year. I haven't really had the opportunity to use it because everytime I would get on the internet, I would be interrupted by the same pop ups. I put the pop up blocker on, but it never worked. I've only used the computer 6 times. Now I have a virus and my notebook won't even allow me to do anything. I really need help. Can someone please help me!!!!!!!! I never even got a chance to download programs or really personalize it. This sucks. I'm in desperate need. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem and it's really frustating - although my main browser is Google Chrome, I use Firefox for all the RSS feeds that I subscribe to and sites that only have Firefox plug-ins. Will Mozilla FIrefox get this fixed with a newer version soon?

I think i've downloaded something bad affecting my web browsers. I keep on getting bumped to new tabs with "junk" sites. I'm having problems with pop-ups now too. HELP!

While on Safari, or Google Chrome and I click on a story or any where on the page for that matter, and I get bumped to a new tab with a junk site telling me to check my Mac or sign-up for streaming video. MacKeeper, Mac-Messages, Tuneupmymac, DetoxifymyMac, YourmediaHQ, Streamnowmovies, dtv4pc, etc. I also now have a problem with pop-ups which I didn't have before. While shopping on-line now I keep getting pop-ups giving me alternative prices on the same or similar items that I am browsing. I have my pop-up blocker activated, but these are still coming through. Is there any way to clean-up, fix, or block these sites that keep interfering with my internet time? IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY!

Problem with Family Protection blocking

I have an ongoing problem with Family Protection blocking allowed websites from my daughter. I checked her account settings which are the same as her brother's and he has no problems. I then removed her account and created a new one and copied the settings across from his to ensure everything was the same - still no difference. Any suggestions? I guess I could try reinstalling but it is such hassle to get a code etc...

I am experiencing this issue as well. I can download about 50 of my 900 songs through family sharing the rest say unable to download. Apple call support and genous at Apple store were both unable to solve the issue. I've resorted to using the same Apple ID on all devices but obviously this is not ideal. If anyone has success solving this I would love to see a post on it. It's definitely something with the iTunes or Apple id end of things and not device or setting related because I have tried everything I can locally.

Has anyone had problems with iCloud being blocked by corporate web security?

Has anyone else encountered problems with iCloud being blocked by the web-security on company computers? I never had any problems with me.com, but now it appears I will be unable to check my mail via any computer at work.
Since iCloud is a portal for high-volume image and file sharing, I can understand why the site would be blocked, but it's very frustrating that this possibility would not have been anticipated, and an alternate web-mail site been set up. Otherwise many me.com subscribers may be left unable to use the iCloud web-mail portal via computers at work or at internet cafes that may block access to potentially risky websites.
Has anyone figured out a back door to this problem?

I dont beleive its an iOS 5 Issue - i think its hardware...
Simply because i have been running iOS 5 beta's since june and there were no issues with my iPhone 4.
When i installed the GM on my iphone 4 (which is the same build as the public release) there were no issues with charging in my vehicle.
Now, charging my iPhone 4S in my car is practically impossible.
when i plug mine in, it will display the "Plugged" symbol on the battery display but not actually charge. the battery will still decrease.
then it will randomly "disconnect" and not register that it is plugged in. then appear to be plugged in, then not, then plugged in, then not.
This will repeat over and over again without actually charging and the charger being in the socket throughout.
however yesterday i left it plugged in and my battery was 9% and after the strange plugged-in behaviour i noticed it was charging normally after about 20 mins in the car.
But when i did the same journey time today, the battery wouldnt register at all.... charging has only been successful ONCE since 14th October on the iPhone 4s
No idea whats up with it...
anybody else?

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Problem with IE8 popup blocker and Windowless mode

My team is having popup blocker issue, which is crippling our system where a large range of users are now complaining that their links or buttons will not open in IE7 or IE8 and results in the pop-up blocker message.
Our Flash application's embed code needed wmode set to windowless ('opaque' or 'transparent') since we need to place floating HTML objects over the Flash application. But all links (within static text content) with target set to '_blank' or a custom name and also all navigateToURL() methods with the same target values are now resulting in IE pop-up blocker message once the window mode was changed to 'opaque' (same result also with 'transparent').
We have a AS3 work around for the navigateToURL() method but no solutions for 100s of pages of simple HTML content contributed by users that have links as well as our own Flash static-text content with links.
Here is a simple page created to demonstrate the issue - http://clients.projectmiso.net/photobiz/custom_lightbox/Test_File.html
And the ActionScript 3 code -
var clickFunction = function(){
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yahoo.com");
navigateToURL(targetURL, '_blank');
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);

Hi!
One thing you could try is to use MOUSE_UP instead of CLICK
( tip-source : http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=176795 )
This example uses clickTag parameter (through flashvars) instead of a hardcoded URL inside the flashfile though,
but I'm sure you get the point:
clickBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event: MouseEvent): void {
var sURL: String;
if ((sURL = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag)) {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sURL), "_blank");
clickBtn.buttonMode = true;
clickBtn.useHandCursor = true;
Or you might want to have a look at this workaround :

Anyone having problems with pop up windows?

Very recently (roughly just after performing the most recent Security Update) I have had trouble with pop up windows in Safari. Haven't had the problem before and the strange part is that my setting to block pop up windows keeps becoming unchecked in the Safari menu. My workaround has been to refresh the page, which removes the pop up, and then re-check the block pop up window option. Next time I open up Safari, I get the pop up again and my setting is unchecked.
Anybody else have this experience. Any malicious software out there that might be causing this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
jack

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Oddities in Safari happen, not from viruses etc, but from some of the complexities of the program itself. In this case, a corrupted preference file may be causing the problem.
In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari. Select the pop-up block. Quit/Restart Safari.
If the pop-up selection held, you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
Otherwise, move the file back to its original location.

I am having a problem with pop pups and small windows with ads constantly opening up on my safari?? Thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one- any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do...

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my Mac OS X 10.7.5 mac book air , there are constant pop pups and small windows with ads blinking constantly opening up on my safari in front of everything?? it is constantly interupting me and makes me mistakingly click on it then another new windows open behind the one im using..
I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Problem with Pop up key list of values

I have been looking at a problem with key popup list of values. I have some sql in a report region :
select <columns>,"HTMLDB_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_QUERY (47,resource_id,'select last_name,resource_id from rm_resource',30) "resource" ,
<other columns> from
<table name>
now, when I select the value from the pop up it gets returned to the wrong row. Everything appears to be one row out of sync, so selecting an item for row 3 gets returned to row 2. Row 10 returns to row 9 etc.
Looking at the code that is generated it appears to have messed up the sequences - I end up with two "genList0_f48_0" functions being generated.
Any ideas why this happens?

http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=37683:39
On the page there are four records. selecting an Item from pop up in the last row gets placed in the row above.
If you look at the javascript that gets run on the first two lines they both have the code "javascript:genList0_f21_0()" the third line has
"javascript:genList0_f21_1()" when it should be "javascript:genList0_f21_2()"
Hope this makes sense.

Problems with pop-up window in IE

We run a free multiplayer poker game on Bebo and Facebook.
You can see it at
http://apps.bebo.com/poker on
Bebo and
http://apps.facebook.com/pokersavvy
on Facebook.
As you’ll see, when a user visits the app the Flash
lobby loads inside the page. There the user sees a list of
available tables and can either double-click the table name or
highlight the table and then press the Play button on the right to
open a table. The table then opens in a new window.
For most users, this works without a problem. But some users
on IE report that when they click the Play button the table
doesn’t open. Instead, the Play button disappears and no
table opens. These players are certain that no pop-up blocker is
causing the issue as they either don’t have one or have
disabled it.
Switching to Firefox seems to solve the issue.
Do you have any clues as to what could be causing this in IE?
Thx very much.

Ever get this solved? The only time I have seen flash
disapear is when IE didnt have the latest flash plugin. Tell them
to right-click over the flash and see what player it says at the
bottom of the menu...

I have problems with pop up windows after earlier today I updated the software

I have a macbook pro, and I updated the software today, I have OS X 10.9
After I did this I started having problems in safari with pop up windows, before it only happened with some sites, but now almost every site I try to open it also opens
pop up windows, and some sites have underlined words that link to other sites for advertising.
I really don't know what to do and I've read several posts of people that also have had my problem but I don't the solutions.

Problem with Pop up windows and struts

Hi
I have problem in working with pop-up windows and struts.
I have parent page which basically lists some data and has a button for adding new record. when I press that button a child windndow will be opened for data entry. The child window has submit button to save data.
when I press the button for save, It will go to action class and saves it in a database and forwards a new page.
but I do not want to forward any new page. If any exception is raised during database saving, a message should be showed in child window otherwise the child window should close and the parent window should get refreshed.
Can any one write me how we can handle this in struts.
Thanks in Advance,
SR

This has nothing to do with struts, you can do the same with some plain JavaScript. Do the following...
1) On error, forward to a error page
2) On success, forward to a temp.html page.
The code in temp.html would be like this
<html>
<head><script>
window.opener.reload();
self.close();
</script></head>
<body>Closing...</body>
</html>Cheers

Problem with Nested tell blocks in Applescript

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to do a little Applescript, whose purpose is to open a file selector to let the user choose a bunch of images, then prompt him to ask a resizing ratio, and then resize the chosen pictures accordingly (after duplicating the originals in a folder on the desktop, the copied files being the ones resized).
I'm having problems with the resizing part... Here is the code I've come up with so far... "Image traitées" is the name of the new folder created on the desktop, and "compression" is the factor in %.
     -- Resizing
     tell application "Finder"
          repeat with photo in folder "Images traitées" of desktop
               tell application "Image Events"
                    launch
                    scale photo by factor compression * 0.01
               end tell
          end repeat
     end tell
I'm encountering an error number -1708, saying that the 'photo' item doesn't understand the scale message...
As I'm new to Applescript, I have some difficulties solving this... Could it be due to the nested tell blocks ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Thomas

Your tell statements are OK, although when nesting them you do need to keep track of what application is getting targeted in any given statement (to avoid terminology conflicts).
Each application refers to its objects in its own way - unfortunately, not everything knows about Finder references. Your photo variable contains a Finder reference (e.g. "file x of folder y of disk z"), but Image Events doesn't know what that is. The solution is to convert the Finder reference to something more standard, such as text or an alias.
Your script won't work with just that change, however. Image Events works with the image contained in a file, so you also need to actually get that image, for example:
set compression to 80 -- used in the following snippet
tell application "Image Events" to launch -- just need to do this once
tell application "Finder"
     repeat with photo in folder "Images traitées" of desktop
          tell application "Image Events"
               set theImage to open (photo as alias) -- get the image from the Finder reference
               scale theImage by factor compression * 0.01
               save theImage -- save the changed image
          end tell
     end repeat
end tell

Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts. However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles. It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is. The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info. Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page. I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list. I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number. Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?

Since upgrading to 3.6.3, I have 3 problems: frequent crashes, frequent "unresponsive script" messages, and frequent pop-ups, even with pop-up blocker turned on.

Crashes are pretty random - can't link them to any particular site or action. The unresponsive script messages mostly come from e-mail sites (yahoo, gmail). Pop-ups are frequent and annoying, and may be causing some of the crashes.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to version 3.6.3

I have the same problem and it's really frustating - although my main browser is Google Chrome, I use Firefox for all the RSS feeds that I subscribe to and sites that only have Firefox plug-ins. Will Mozilla FIrefox get this fixed with a newer version soon?
