The adware that came with the Firefox update is keeping me from using Ebay.
The ads are popping up everywhere on ebay.
There are no instances of adchoice in remove programs.
Hi oldman12,
Sorry you are having problems.
You will not have got adware from a Firefox update unless you are using some none official site that bundles Firefox with adware &/or modifies it (possiby illegaly).
You did not provide full troubleshooting information. You did provide a plugins listing whilst posting the question. Your plugins list includes
* MindSpark Toolbar Platform Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
That is probably not good. It is probably part of your problem.
This guide may help you with the mindspark problem.
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/pup-optional-mindspark-removal/
It also offers some advice,and may at the same time help with other malware or adware you may have.

How do i recover the drivers that came with the delivery? (Dolby problem after 8.1update)
Hello there community!
I have a burning question.
I recently bought a thinkpad edge 540. Which came preinstalled with windows 8.
When i updated to 8.1 I lost my dolby audio, this seems to happen a lot more, reading through this community.
There is a solution for that, to just reinstall the audio input and output device with the drivers that came with the delivery. However, and here is my problem.
In the solutions given, they are talking about a section on the hard drive that should contain the drivers. In most cases E:\DRIVERS.
Unfortunately, thats not the case with me. I know there is a recovery partition, but i cant see it within windows.
I used this to reset to the factory defaults already, but i cant find a drivers section.
Im hesitant to update again to 8.1 now, because it gave me several issues. One of them was the intel wifi driver, which was hard to resolve in the beginning, but also now the DOLBY audio.
Can anyone tell me, where to find the drivers? or is it just not possible?
I dont have a drivers section, or partition on my hard drive anyway..
Can you guys please help me out? Since i like the dolby feature, and it would be a shame to not be able to update to 8.1. (safety issues and features).
I know there are more people encountering this problem, but the solution to just use the preinstalled driversection.. is not an option for me, sadly. Or perhaps I am wrong..
Any help is greatly appreaciated! Thanks guys!You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service -

I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.
May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers. -
I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.
Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:

If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:

All the best,

Just did a restore for a new 4S. I want to do a new iCloud account and discard the one that came with the restore. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Settings > iCloud, scroll down and delete the account, sign back in by choosing the option to create a new Apple ID. -
I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.
If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.
Command + C : Copy Selected Text
Command + V : Paste
Command + X: Cut Selected Text
Command + Z: Undo
Command + Shift + Z: Redo
Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
F1: Dim screen
F2: Brighten screen
F7: Back one song
F8: Play/pause song
F9: Skip song
F10: Mute
F11: Decrease volume
F12: Increase volume
Eject button: Show or hide onscreen keyboard

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?
First try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.
More troubleshooting here.

Lastly, try to restore the iPod from a previous backup or restoring it to factory settings.

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?
Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps. -
i plugged in my 18 month old iPhone to charge it, using the cable that came with it and that I have used regularly all along. I got a warning on my phone screen saying the cable is not certified and may not work properly with my iPhone. Why?
If you updated iPhone to iOS7, it now checks for real Apple Lightning Cable. Your cable may not be Apple, or someone swapped another cable with yours. Make sure the cable end is clean, take a clean dry toothbrush and carefully clean charging port on the iPhone.

Any suggestions on wiping my MAC drives clean if I don't have the diskette that came with it?
Don't mean to upstage a level 6 Tech but having just wiped my own G5 for reinstall, I know you can do it on the computer monitor. If by "recycle" you mean to sell or give away the computer, go to Disk Utilities (in Application/Utilities) and hit the erase button, choose the 35x swipe and it's supposed to clean it completely within a couple of hours. I did the 7x wipe and got a sudo (single user que) showing nothing but the presence of BSD initiation and a "We're hanging here". Did a reinstall and it's beautiful.
