StartSavin adverts keep popping up for no reason

It's exactly what the headline states; it only started happening a few days ago, and I've checked the addons etc and there is nothing there to remove aside from AdBlock. When it says to 'uninstall the programme', the programme itself isn't even on my computer!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

I have recently changed my apple Id email and my old one keeps popping up for no reason

Why does my old apple id keep popping up for no reason I have recently changed it

/Could be that you need to update an app. All apps are tied to the apple id that was used to download apps.

ITunes application keeps popping up for no reason.

For some reason my iTunes application keeps popping up to the front of the screen to be on top of all of my other windows. this is a problem because not only does it prevent me from doing anything on my computer like type or read things, but if I am typing or doing something and listening to music, it stop the music I am playing, or switching my play list or what have you. I have tried to repair and reinstall the program but it continue to do this. Can someone help me please?

I had the same problem and I finally figured out what was causing iTunes to pop up as the active window. I use FireFox and I have the add-on Foxy-Tunes, when I disabled that iTunes would work perfectly fine! I think the problem is that iTunes just updated to iTunes 10 and Foxy-Tunes hasn't gotten an update so it works with iTunes 10 yet.
I hope this helps!

Office Communicator window keeps popping up for no reason

Has anyone seen an issue with Communicator (Office 2010) popping up from a minimized position for no reason. The user is running Windows 7 and keeps Communicator minimized. But the window pops up for no apparent reason throughout the day and
the user is not receiving a message from anyone.
If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks very much.

Hi,
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features to repair the Installation of Office, check if the issue persists.
If the issue still exists, I suggest you perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Communicator:

I assume that a neighbour has an iphone that tries to sync to my itunes repeteadly making the window pop up every 5 minutes...
That really is not likely since the device would have to have at one time been physically connected and synced to your computer, AND Wi-Fi sync enabled while connected to your library, AND they'd have to be on your Wi-Fi network. Unless you have someone who did all this and lives within Wi-Fi range, and knows your network password, that's not what's happening.
Do you have any auxillary software add-ons to iTunes (e.g. Last.fm scrobbler)? Sometimes those get in the way of shutting iTunes down and it will re-open unless you shut the other software down first.

Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

Photoshop CS4 Help Window Pops Up For No Reason

This same thing was happening in Photoshop CS3 and I could never figure out why. I figured that since CS4 was coming out, I would buy it, stop using CS3 and the problem would be solved, well it's not. So far, I'm happy with the new program but for some reason, out of nowhere, while working on a photo, the Photoshop Help window (which opens as a web browser window) will pop up for no reason! Today, it popped up over 6 or 7 times and I nearly had to crash the program to get it to stop. I figured this problem would have been solved with the new version since the same thing was happening in CS3 but it hasn't. I'm running a Windows XP-based machine that I built myself about 2 years ago. I have a 512mb ATI Raedon X1650 video card and have 4GB of RAM so this machine has far more than enough power to run the program. I updated my video and mouse drivers prior to installing the program. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for pointing that out. It really happens very rarely, but when it happens, it's quite a huge annoyance.
Well I have about 3,5GB RAM on a Windows Vista 32 Bit system (hence just 3,5 instead of the full 4GB), with the OpenGL options activated, and maybe over 100GB of free HD space (that'll never be a problem, but since swapping is not used by all modules, I often bump into RAM problems when using tools like auto-aligning layers or stitching panoramas) and 2,5Ghz core duo on a notebook. The Windows swap file is also "just" 4GB...but I found more than 4GB to be a bit extreme.
RAM usage is set to 56% right now (916MB), cache levels is set to 6
After restart, everything runs fine again, I hope the help screens leave me alone.
I didn't know this is since v. 7! I worked with all versions since 5.0 and since becoming a freelancer also bought every version since 6.0 except 7. I only experienced this bug in this and the previous version. Maybe my hardware doesn't keep pace with PS anymore

Console Window keeps popping up for one second then vanishes before I can read it

a console window (with white letters on a black background) keeps popping up for 1 second and then vanishes before i have time to read it - How can i
stop that, or how can i capture what is written on the console before it disappears (so that I can troubleshoot it)?
I use as x64-bit Windows 8 pro Lenovo T430s.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Andre,
I ran ProcMon and went to the ProcessTree window, but could not find any cmd.exe there (and hence could not see the commandline). (I also watched the video about ProcMon).
The closest I could find in the ProcessTree window was conhost.exe, with commandline showing:
\??\C:\windows\system32\conhost.exe 0x4
I saved the capture trace, at:
http://sdrv.ms/14Dfvjs
Do you see any other leads in there that I could work on?
In the result column, I noticed some "buffer overflow" and "name not found", many associated with "tunmgr.exe" the Blackberry Link Communications Manager.
I also noticed that in the ProcessTree Window, the only two process lines with an End Time are tunmgr.exe and conhost.exe.
the respective command lines are:
for tunmgr.exe:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Tunnel Manager\tunmgr.exe" -Embedding"
for conhost.exe:
\??\C:\Windows\system32\conhost.exe 0xffffffff
- could that be it?
If so, how could one fix that ?

IMac 27'' keeps powering down for no reason

After about 2 hrs of editing sometimes my iMac 27'' keeps powering down for no reason and then rebooting.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason ?

Since today, my iCal is popping up as an opened application for no reason and I've had, up to now, to quit it 3 times. It's really annoying. I don't even use iCal anymore since I have BusyCal, which is a better version of iCal, but a totally different application.
How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason like that. Please, anyone, help me.

What exactly is triggering this, are you clicking on some kind of file?

My Macbook Pro keeps shutting down for no reason

I have this Macbook Pro 15' , 4gb ram, 500gb HD, and it was pretty slow, so i took it to an apple shop where they've format and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.3, but now after a week it keeps shuting down for no reason, it happens when im using for example, safari and Word or 2 softwares at the same time, any tips?
They've checked the Hard disk at the shop and everything was all right.

Mac mini keeps shutting down for no reason

My mac mini keeps shutting down for no reason. If I try to turn it on right after it shuts down, it won't or I may hear a chine, power light lit up for about 5 seconds and turns off. I have to wait a while before it would turn on again. And sometimes it stays on for 15 min, 2 hrs or 1 full night ... but then the cycle happens again.

Make sure the power cord is attached firmly to the back of the Mini. If so, try a clean install of Snow Leopard (or whatever version of OS X it came with). If neither of those suggestions works, it's likely a bad power supply, in which case you'll need to take it to an Apple store or call Apple support.

If the reset does no work
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Maybe the replacement is defective.
