Since installed ver 7, I am now getting ads showing up on my web pages. How do I block them like they used to be?

When I go to my regular websites, such as Drudge and Fox News, all the ads are showing up now, even ads prior to viewing videos. They used to be blocked. I would like to get rid of them again.

hello, this may be a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    In that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
    Try removing these files, then restarting:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    ~/Desktop/.DS_Store
    Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

    Help since installing latest software updates I now can't open safari????

    Hi Stewartirl,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you only having issues opening Safari? Are you able to connect to the internet with other Browsers or using Mail?
    The article below is a good starting point for troubleshooting.  I'd start by plugging in an ethernet cable and restarting the computer.  If the wired (LAN) connection works, then unplug the ethernet cable and continue troubleshooting the wireless connection.

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

    I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

    Hi,
    What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.
    Regards,

  • HT4356 I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

    I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

    Shannmo-
    The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
    I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name.  There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

  • I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    First do the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!  How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.

    How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.
    If this is replacing Aperture and previous iPhoto it is USELESS...WAY fewer options for editing available. New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!

    Hi.
    I have just migrated my library from Aperture to photos. All seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. All of my photos are 'untitled', whereas in both Aperture, and previously iPhoto, the filename was used for the title. If I hit CMD+I and get info, the title is still there as the filename, as I use the filename for all titles.
    Is there a way to batch copy all filenames as photo titles, this was done automatically in Aperture and iPhoto, as when photos were imported the filename was used automatically.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • TS3276 I a getting numerous email msgs. addressed to an incorrect address, and when bouncing them back they come back to me saying sender can't be found.  What is going on?

    I am getting numerous emails posted to an incorrect address.  When I bounce them back, they fail and the message is that there is no such sender.  What is going on?

    If you are receiving emails then your address is in the list of recipients. Perhaps in a blind carbon copy field or in a group of recipients. It may appear to you that you are receiving these emails in error but you are not.
    This is a ploy of spammers. They include a long list of recipients in a hidden list and use some unsuspecting or incorrect from address. You are not accomplishing anything by bouncing these emails. Either you are bouncing them to a non-existent address or you are bouncing them to an innocent person who is wondering why they are receiving your bounced email.
    Just igmore the emails. The spammers will move on.

  • I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

    I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

    I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!
