Safari Bug? Help window keeps popping up...

Did a search for this and didn't find anything about this. For some reason whenever i go to click in the Google search in the upper right hand of the window (toolbar) the "Safari Help" window pops up. Usually this is done by pressing f1 but i am nowhere near that button and the batteries for my keyboard/mouse are not low. Whenever i click the X to close safari help it reloads into the same spot. I tried ways around it and even by tabbing to the google search from my address bar will open up that same window. I have no modifications to safari, just the standard install with regular updates. Version 3.1.2 (525.21)

No one else is experiencing this issue. Something is different on your PC.

Adobe Community Help Window Keeps Appearing?!?

Hey there,
I am really hoping someone will be able to help me.
For some reason, my adobe photoshop has recently started acting up. Whenever i want to edit text, or move a layer, The Adobe Community Help Window Keeps popping up.
How do i stop this from happening?
Thank you in advance!

What version of Photoshop, and what OS, do you have?
Some of the older versions of Photoshop could be corrupted by 3rd party plug-ins under some conditions and you might see this type of error. I used to see it myself but VERY infrequently, and that was a long while ago. I don't believe I've seen it since Photoshop CS4 was released.

Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

Hi all.
I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance

Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?

New windows keep popping up in Safari

I have turned off Extensions and Blocked Pop Ups but windows keep popping up in the back with ads for the past week?
What else can I do to stop these?

Pesky pop-unders! Since I am on a vintage Pismo, there will be many here that may have better advice for your system and Safari version.
I use Firefox with and add-on that doesn't exist for Safari - but there are reports of others for Safari that I cannot recommend, only point you to.
AdBlockPlus may not be supported in your Safari version, so I won't even link to it.
GlimmerBlocker seems popular and appears safe as it doesn't really alter Safari at all, but uses a proxy server
http://glimmerblocker.org/
You will find lots of results by Google-ing " safari pop-under " - stay away from Softonic, etc. download sites though. Good practice to download from the developer's website only.
You'll find something I'm sure. If not, give Firefox a try.

The "save as" window keeps popping up randomingly while browsing, WHY?

Literally every few minutes the pop-up asking to "save as" and it just keeps popping up to save the web page. There is nothing wrong with my ctrl and S button on my key board and I cannot figure out why the save as window keeps popping up. I've done a virus scan and there is no negative results. What's the next logic troubleshooting step?

Does it affect some sites more than others?
If you use the Foxit PDF viewer and have PDFs configured to save to disk, maybe it's related to this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927458 Foxit Reader spews a lot "not a PDF" on some pages].
One standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the misbehavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the annoying messages go away, this points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem. Now the challenge is to track it down!

Another window keeps popping, how to get rid of that

another window keeps popping in spontaneously. Have i got a virus/malware.
Mac cleaner keeps popping in.
How do I avoid that?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
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 a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
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 word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the 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 word as 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 another folder, though it has a different icon. 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.

Safari login keychain box keeps popping up - how to stop?

Please excuse this rookie question, but we recently bought an IMac. The Safari login keychain box keeps popping up and after clicking on cancel, it comes up again and after clicking on cancel again it goes away for a while, then comes back later and does the same thing. How to stop?

OS x 10.5 Lion or 10.9 Mavericks?

New message window keeps popping up

The new message window keeps popping up without prompting, usually twice in a row. I notice
this particularly when I first open the Mail program. The funny thing is that you can't actually type in any text in the new message window. Any ideas???

It seemed to work itself out after several days.
