Safari Pop up? Is this windows?
I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this on a mac. I am familiar with it on windows but never had it on a mac before.
Once every couple of days while surfing I get a pop up that says I need to download this cleaner immediatly, adult sites found on my computer, bla bla bla.
I haven't been to any **** sites, but when I click close it takes over the window I was working in wanting me to install their cleaner.
How do I get rid of this?
Adam,
Not sure that I have had any of those, but a few things escape the Block of Popup windows -- do you have that selected?

Safari pop ups and new windows
Everytime I'm using safari a new window with a survey or competition will open. There are constant advertisements and every time I click on a link it opens a new window or 5 . I have already blocked pop ups and it's still happening. Hope someone can help as it's driving me crazy
Alison,
See -> http://www.reedcorner.net/eliminating-browser-redirects-and-advertisements/ - I'm sure that you'll find an answer there.

Safari Problem: I get this window, and can't get rid of it.

Caution! Your computer contains a variety of suspicious programs.Your System requires immediate checking! The system will perform a fast and free check your PC for malicious programs.
I tried rebooting, and even reinstalling safari, but I cannot remove Safari since it is needed by Mac OsIt's a scam. I sure hope you didn't install anything that came from that page, which is now down.

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... thanksThose 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. -
Safari refuses to open, a window pops up saying it quit unexpectedly.
Safari is refusing to open. Every time that I attempt to open it, it instead pops up with a window that says that it quit unexpectedly.
The internet is not an issue as Google Chrome and mail are working fine.
Safari is version 5.1.6
The reason it gave is copy-pasted below.
Application Specific Information:
objc[393]: garbage collection is OFF
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])'
I really would like some help as it is occuring on both my family's new iMac and new macbook air.Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help. This can be done on both Macs.
You can use Chrome to download the file...
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

when I download the new itunes (on my pc); going through the dowload process it stop me and a window pops up and it says: (there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.)
I have tried several times to redownload and keep getting the same message. what am I doing wrong...Let's try the following user tip with that one:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows -
When I open iTunes, this window pops up. "A required component is not installed. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42076)" I have not been able to sync my iPhone after restoring it. Can anyone help?
Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

I can't download the new version of iTunes. Halfway through the installation a pop up window appears saying, "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as a part of a set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Got exact same problem, was told to delete all old apple, quick time and bonjoir from computer then it would work. I use a programme called malware bytes and this takes everthing out of your computer right down to the roots but unfortunately I still have same problem

I had to reinstalled windows xp on my PC and everytime I try to download itunes a message pops up saying "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". But it does not say what program is required. I've had to reinstalled windows xp before and never had a problem.
Go START/ALL PROGRAMS/APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE"
If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but "Deselect" any other software offered at the same time.
Once done, try another iTunes install -
When I pushed a button, this pop-up window has to appear. There will be a slide control and a picture from a camera in this window. Is it possible to make appear this windows while main VI Interface continue to run ? How can I do this ? Thank you for your answers.
Cyril.Here you go. This is simple example. Maybe not the best way, I am just
beginner in LV and still not comfortable with data flow that much. I prefer
events, so I would change this to use Event Structures.
When you click on OK button on SliderMain, it opens Slider.vi. Now both
windows are open and you can interact with both. Now if you click on OK
again with Slider.vi open, you run into problems. Only thing I did was
change VI properties of slider.vi, mainly window appearance.

There is screen information of Airplay popping up on the screen every second minute. It's stating: 1. Network Configuration: Connect to wifi network 2. Choose this Apple TV. However wifi is already connected and this apple tv has been chosen. How do I get rid of this window as everything is working already fine and everything is connected. Airplay and wifi are working already.
Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying. To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

Can anyone help me close this window in Safari?
I can't seem to close this window out in Safari. Everytime I restart Safari it opens all of my previously opened windows. I can't seem to acess or empty my cache to start fresh and my menu options are mostly faded out. Can someone tell me how I can start Safari over and open a new window by default instead of having it open an old session up?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:Scratch that. I fixed it!

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
