Pubsub, RSS, Safari, and feeds that won't go away

So...I've been helping out a friend of mine with an interesting issue. He has somehow managed to subscribe to a less the reputable RSS feed (mobilism). Here's some places/steps I've taken:
Safari->Bookmarks->Show all Bookmarks->All RSS Feeds-> deleted everything there
~/Library/Pubsub/Feeds-> deleted everything here, including sub-directories
~/Library/Pubsub/Database-> deleted Database.sqlite2
Doing a "pubsub list" in terminal will, after doing the above, show nothing. However, rebooting the machine and starting Safari, sure enough...if I go to terminal and type "pubsub list" it's there again. Anyone have any thoughts on just how this thing is coming up again? Thanks.
James

Heh...so this is solved. Apple stores rss feeds in a varity of places...bookmarks, bookmark bar, topsites, rss feeds, and pubsub. Of great annoyance is the fact that even if you go to "All RSS Feeds" and emtpy it, RSS feeds elsewhere (TopSites) won't show up. Long story short you get to search around and try and find where it's at Quite a hoot.

Safari Hijacked and Certificates that won't go away. Malware?

Four times over the last 4 or 5 months "something" hijacks Safari and freezes it.
The first 3 times I was in Google.   I clicked on a site, it would freeze Safari and I would get a message from an unrelated website telling me to call a number for Apple Support which was not Apple.
Each of those 3 times I called Apple Care and they went to Finder>Library> Cache and removed files from Launch Agents, Launch Daemons and Plug-ins. That removed the problem.
This time I was in Words With Friends when a Certificate popped up for the website Secure.RubiconProject.Com.   I spent over an hour on the phone with Apple looking for bad files. None were found but we couldn't get rid of the Certificate and Safari was frozen.   Also, WWF would keep crashing Safari.
The Apple guy had me install a 2 week free trial of Web Root antivirus. It found some problems which it took care of. When I went back to Words with Friends the Certificate popped up again but this time I clicked on it since Web Root would tell me if there was an issue.
The screen was blank but since then: 1. No certificate and 2. an error message that was always across the top of WWF about having to reload the page was gone. When I used Firefox to work on this problem with Apple, I would keep getting a message that said Firefox would not direct this to another page and I had to click an OK button. That is gone.
I don't know why I keep getting this issue since each time it is different.   I told Apple guy that I had read that Apple doesn't need antivirus and in fact they can cause more problems than they help.   He said Apple has a Firewall but nothing for malware which is become more and more prevalent. There are threads here about not needed anti viruses but I'm at a loss.
I have Apple Care for 2 more years but I don't want to keep calling them if I can find a solution to this. I'm not tech savvy.   I would like an antivirus that is a one time fee.
Advice please?

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it.
Although adware relies upon deception, it does not get installed without your consent, and "anti-virus" utilities cannot prevent users from willfully installing garbage. Only you can do that, by recognizing adware's appearance, which is constantly changing as adware authors constantly attempt to thwart automatic means of detection.
For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.
Webroot is garbage that won't help prevent adware. Uninstall it. Be sure to follow its uninstallation instructions.
I have Apple Care for 2 more years but I don't want to keep calling them if I can find a solution to this.
You should call them, as often as necessary. AppleCare is a service you paid for. Let them work for you. I suggest you express your displeasure regarding their inept recommendation to install Webroot. OS X's software firewall is also completely irrelevant to your concern.

Lost icons in finder sidebar, and folders that won't go away

I've somehow lost the icons for documents, movies, music and pictures in the finder sidebar...and i dragged some folders to the sidebar to use temporarily but they keep reappearing even after i've trashed them...is there a way to reset my sidebar to the default (and tehn i will hope that solves both problems)? Thanks!

Hi AYS,
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

Cp 4 and frames that won't go away

Hey all!
Weird question here. I am splitting up a CP 4 project that is waaaay too large (24,00 frames) that was imported from CP 1. I saved a copy of the project, renamed it, and deleted the slides I am dumping from this new, smaller part of teh project. I saved. I went into the library and dumped unused elements. I saved. I closed the project, and even closed Cp. Upon re-entering, I still have 24,000 frames in the saved and edited instance. You cannot see anything that I deleted, but frame count does not change. Weird.
What kind of voodoo dance do I have to do to get the frames to go away?
Thanks all
nuguy

Hello Nuguy,
Those are indeed frames in the same sense as in Flash, but for the total project. If you did not change the standard settings the speed of the CP-movie is 30 fps (frames/second) and you will see that the total time (p.e. 00:50) multiplied with the frame rate (30) results in this total number (1550). But in routine work with CP, you do not really work frame by frame, as in Flash. The timeline is not in frames but in seconds (different from Flash).
I'm not a Flash guru at all, a little bit more used to Captivate because it delivers e-learning in a fraction of time need otherwise in Flash.
Enjoy CP,
Lilybiri

If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck

For some reason Safari and App store won't open anymore. Everytime I try to open them they crash and it says it's because of the webkit2 plug-in. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Safari and mail now won't launch

Hello
I have done something very silly. I run 10.3.9 and downloaded and installed Safari 3 not realising it wasn't compatible. It was allowed to install indicating the install was successful. However Safari and mail now won't launch. Have I lost the apps and is there anything I can do to get them back, particularly mail?

Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

First go into settings, Itunes and App store, sign out and then sign in again! (This might not work)

Have a number badge in settings that won't go away and there are no updates that need to be done. Help!!!

On my settings, there is a number one (red) that won't go away. There are no updates that need to be done.

Maybe you should try updating 5.1.1 from iTunes? Because I had the same thing and it was 5.0.1.

IMac screen colour, how to show tints and shades that won't appear

iMac screen colour, how do I show tints and shades that won't appear on screen
I have a 2 month old imac, with a great screen. But for some reason I cant se light shades of colour like 5% of a tint.
yet on older macs, and a 2 year old imac, i can see them prefectly.
Some designs have light panels with 5% colours, some a precent of a colour.
Can anyone suggest a way to calibrate the screen, or set the screen to show all the colours n tints used as accuratley as possible.
Advice much appreciated

The fdisk output shows that it is a single GPT disk. Has any disk manipulation been done, like resizing or repartitioning.
Your GPT looks correct. If you create a Hybrid MBR via gdisk and include partitions 2,3 and 4 and make 4 bootable, does Windows partition show up in Startup and as a separate volume in Finder?
Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5641066 for Hybrid MBR creation.

Ghost Rental in my IPOD Video Library...there's a video that I rented that won't go away...how to remove?

I rented a video on my ipod, watched it, and now it won't go away. I can't rewatch it either. When I sync, it is not on the computer as far as rentals. Can anyone help me remove this?

See if you have enabled 'VoiceOver'…
Open Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility, select VoiceOver in the sidebar list, disable that if it is enabled. You may also see a keyboard shortcut listed there (e.g. cmd+F5), it's possible you hit that accidentally

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away. I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away. I can't get into the app store.

This happened to me twice lately. I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked it up to get rid of it.
When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

I FIXED IT.
The issue was a folder name. For some reason, a folder was name Fersions when it should have been called Version. I have no clue why it was named that way, but I named it correctly and the error disappeared.
