Safari keeps opening up itself with Hubble.App

Safari keeps opening up with 'Hubble.app', 3 or 4 times a minute. First it was selling games, now it's Priceline! How can I stop this????

I just got an answer from the app developer, too. Said they had a problem with an advertiser, causing the problem. Thanks for your help. Didn't know I had those capabilities.

Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem 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.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. 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.

Safari keep open page from cache, though the origin page has been available

This is weird. Safari keep opening a site with this error message:
501 Method Not Implemented
Method Not Implemented
GET to /indexfr.php not supported.
But when i'm opening the site with Firefox or Opera, the website displayed correctly. Even when i'm using curl/wget from Terminal, all html codes are displayed correctly. I know that about 1 month ago, all browser displayed the same (firefox, safari, opera, curl) 501 method not implemented. But after the remote site has been recovered, Firefox can correctly display the web page, while safari can't. It seemed that safari keep displaying the cached page.
I've tried empty the cache (from menu) many times, tried to push SHIFTCOMMANDR, tried to delete cache folder (~/Library/Cache/Safari), and also i've upgraded my safari to Safari 3 beta. All didn't work.
IMHO, when the remote site responded with 501 HTTP response, safari keep caching 'the http response', and i don't know how to delete it. This is very annoying since i have to switch to Firefox to browse that only site.
FYI: The remote site has more than one IP addresses, maybe i got this response from one of them. So, is it possible that safari keep caching the IP Address? and not to use round-robin behaviour? But i don't think so, because when i edited /etc/hosts to manually assign that site to one of the IP address, Safari still displayed 501 error message.
So, my main question is, how to completely start over Safari just like if we buy a new computer?
Sorry for my bad english
Powerbook G4 1.3 12' Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Ok, i've tried to put a question mark at the end of the url, but still got 501 Method not implemented.
I'm sure that my ISP doesn't cache web pages. Because when i tried with curl or wget (from command line), i got full html code. It is ok to browse the site with Firefox and Opera. And when i set my http proxy to our ISP's proxy, i can browse that site !!!
Here i provide some screenshots, please click:
Firefox OK, Safari Don't
Safari Don't ok. Proxy off. and my ISP doesn't do transparent caching.
Safari Don't ok. curl is fine!

Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

I have something really strange going on.
My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
Hope this works for you.

Itunes 10.5 keeps opening by itself on my pc

Safari keeps opening old pages

Safari keeps opeing old pages even though I have closed them. It seems like I have several versions of safari open, but I don't think I do. I just did the latest software update and the problem continues.

Cdf15,
You can empty the caches in Safari by pressing Option+Command+E keys. This will likely stop the behavior.
You might have to remove Safari plist files from User Library (might be hidden hold down option key under Finder window Go Menu>Library>Preferences>com.apple.Safari.plist.
Place plist on desktop or in Trash without emptying trash, then reopen Safari. This will recreate a new plist.
Finally you can "Reset Safari" which will remove various Safari settings. "Reset SafarI" is available under the "Safari" Menu…
Hope this helps, Greg

Safari keeps opening links in new window instead of current

Hi
I have an iMac, everytime I click on a web link in Safari it opens it in a new window instead of the current window. So after a few minutes internet browsing I have loads & loads of windows open!!!
I have the Safari preferences set to open in 'Same Page', but no joy.
Can you help?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The Safari Preference Tab panel pertains in part to opening links from outside of Safari, e.g. Mail, or for using a command key to create a new tab. Within Safari, if a link is coded to open another window, it will do just that unless a command key is used, regardless of what's selected in the Tab panel.
With that said, for complete control over tabs, install 3rd party add-on Glims. Once installed, you'll find Glims' preferences as a separate panel within Safari Preferences (you may have to click on the directional arrows at the end of the Preference Panels to access it). In the Tabs misc panel, select "open link in a new tab". That will accomplish what you want, i.e. opening a new tab when a link within Safari is coded to open a new window.
You'll also find a number of very useful features in the other Glims sub-preference panel enhancing Safari usefulness.

ITunes app keeps opening by itself randomly...

The iTunes app on my MacBook Pro randomly opens and starts playing from my music library no matter what I'm doing on my laptop. I keep quitting iTunes but it reopens on its own. I've restarted my laptop several times but that hasn't solved the issue. what can I do? (I have the latest iTunes version installed)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari wont open, quit unexpectedly with a problem report

New macbook air, safari app wont open when i click on it.
Problem report keeps coming up.

You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
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.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

ITunes keeps opening by itself and playing music.

My iTunes keeps randomly opening up by itself and playing music. When it happens, I quit the app and it stops for the day, but it will happen again randomly. Like days or weeks later. I don't know why my computer has decided to start doing this recently, but it's really getting on my nerves.

Sooo annoying. And STILL not fixed.

Safari will open a page with iBook G4 but not MacBook!

Here's the address: http://tuner1.dc1.sonixtream.com/solon/media/tuner/SmallBrowserInfo.htm
Currently the page opens on a Windows CPU with IE, so the address is still valid. When I had an ibook G4 running the same OS and browser (Tiger and Safari) the page would open. But now that I have a MacBook it doesn't. A page opens saying "The page cannot be found". Could this have something to do with the move to Intel? I'm pretty sure that no adjustments have been done on account of the site itself. This is the only page I've noticed to do this.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Clicking on the link you provided sends me to "page not found". If I delete the address after .com, the next window says "Warning: this site is for authorized users only". I suggest contacting the site administrator or web developer. Perhaps you need an authorization link to set/activate the appropriate cookie in your browser.
