Unwanted pop up windows

I had a friend give me a link to watch a hometown hockey game. Ever since I clicked on the link I have been getting an insane number of pop up windows and screens. I have the pop up blocker active for my browsers but that still isn't enough. I've run my activity monitor and run my disk utility with no resolution. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Unwanted Pop-Up window (network connection).

I keep getting disturbed by a pop-up window saying my Network cannot be connected . It disturbs me. I tried System Pref's but to no avail. How can I lose this annoying thing that happens sometimes when I'm in the middle of something? Thanks.

This is the popup that keeps appearing. It is in Dutch, but is says somethin like: "A problem occured when connecting to server TC J&J. The server doen't exsist or is not available. Check the servername or IP adress, check the network connection and try again."
The server does not exist indeed. It was a former name of my Time Capsule that I deleted years ago.
Anyone having the same issue or knows a sollution?

CS5 Still get unwanted size pop-up window

I still get the annoying (to me) pop-up window frequently that says Rectangle and the width and height. I turned off “smart dimensions” under guides and pasteboard but that didn’t seem to stop it.
New suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Jim

Petteri -
YES. That sounds like my problem. It does seem to pop-up when I'm working with rectangles or ellipse’s, etc.
I have turned off “show thumbnails on place” as you suggested and will be trying it that way. I never seem to be sure what I'm doing when it pops up, but, as I think about it, it does seem to be happening when I'm working as stated above. It will be very helpful not to have these unwanted pop-ups.
May I sneak in one more tiny question?
Why is it that when I'm typing my post (like now) that I can’t see a cursor?
Thanks to all.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

You can supplement your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan with some other tools Firefox users have found effective. See: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
But it also makes sense to check a couple of things manually.
(1) Extensions installed in Firefox
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a careful look and disable everything you either don't recognize or don't use regularly. If Firefox prompts you to restart to make the change effective, you can do that as the last step after completing your review of the list.
(2) Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program
Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent infections, I mean, additions, to the top. This is useful in revealing bundles that may have snuck unwanted software onto your PC. Remove everything you don't remember choosing intentionally.
Any improvement?

Unwanted "Chelsea" pop-up window

I'm a new Mac user - so please forgive me if this turns out to be an elementary question.
When I "boot" up and the desktop appears onscreen I get a pop-up window that reads:-
"None of your trusted wireless networks can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network named "Chelsea" "
There is the usual "Yes" and "No" option. I click "No" and the window disappears.
A small issue perhaps - but quite annoying. I'd really appreciate any advice as to how to eliminate this window.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Turn Airport off, then locate this file: com.apple.airport.preferences.plist Located here: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Turn Airport back on and see if you get that dialog box.
If that doesn't work, trying using a different user account and see if it happens in that account. If you need to create a new user account here's how to do that:
Adding a new user account to your computer
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add + and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete - to cancel.
If you don't experience any glitches in a different user account, then the problem is isolated to your admin account.

Pop up window occurs when assigning package in Transport Connection

Hi
After collecting objects through transport connection, when i click on Assign package button, a pop up window occurs, which says "Change package for the following Objects" and gives a list of all the objects and check boxes with it.What is the significance of this popup?...
By default i can see that some infoobjects and other objects are checked in this.But some of the infoobjects selected here are not required for my transport. When there are large number of objects
checked here, it becomes difficult to identify and uncheck the objects that are not required.
Is there a standard way to handle this popup?..or Suggest some options to overcome this...so that unwanted objects are not collected here...
Thanks in advance.

I assume you want to transport your objects only. So just collect them in Transport Connection as you are doing now and make sure you have checked all required objects by you. And then just click Transport Icon (Truck). If any object from your list dont have yet package assigned, you can assign and then further collect in by giving transport number. You dont need to click Assign Package button.

Removing software from leopard.(rookie question) And Pop-up Windows?

I downloaded some photo software that came with the camera, of course it was no good, How do I go about deleting it from my macbook?
Also, I occasionally have began getting a pop up window on my mac, it just comes up and stays in the back ground, I never even notice it until I close everything else down. Any tips on how to do away with that?

normally, removing software is simply by deleting the programme from your applications folder.
say, your unwanted app is called "xxxx"; find "xxxx" in your apps folder and delete. Occasionally, you got an "uninstall" command in your "disk image" (xxxx.dmg) file; you would need to open the dmg file and click on "uninstall" if it's there. Once you know your way around, you'll also find the appropriate "preference" files, which is usually in your home folder/library/preferences, and might be called something like "com.xxxx.plist".
There are programmes around to make this task easy, but I have never used them:

How can you remove unwanted pop-up ads and the virus creating them?

I think I downloaded virus which causes unwanted pop-up ads that cannot be removed. There is only the option to minimize, not close and they continually pop-up. What can be done to run a safe virus scan and remove the unwanted pop-ups?

Force Quit .
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.

How to block unwanted pop us on yahoo mail

I keep getting unwanted pop-ups on the top bar of my bt yahoo mail page, next to the contacts box. The current message is wilmadrummondi425. I have Windows XP and Firefox. I keep clearing the pop-up by clicking on the x on the top right corner of the pop up but it keeps returning every time I open my email account. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Solved this problem myself by right clicking on the pop-up and finding a way of adding the name of the pop-up to a list of pop-ups that I did not want to hear from. Thank You.

How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

Hi Experts,
I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
Thank you,
Don

Hi,
Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
Eg:
On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
else...{
Hope this helps you.

Since installing 3.6.9 my Joomla content editor pop-up windows no longer return the URLs selected

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.9 and found that when using the editor in a Joomla 1.0.15 website , the content editor pop-up windows no longer return URLs selected (eg: image or file URL to be used in a link). I have been using the site with no problems for many years, and the problem was cured when I reinstalled 3.6.8

Thanks cor-el but the problem is not in my web development but is a new issue/problem in FireFox which was not present in all versions up to and including version 3.6.8 and was only introduced in version 3.6.9. I have also established that the same problem also exists in FireFox version 4 beta 6 and have therefore also raised a second question today.
My understanding was that I should raise these issues in this forum, but I will also check out the other forum.

Creation of a pop-up window

Dear All,
We have a issue like this: Say, there is a Customer who has given an order of ABC product 10 packs to the sales employee. And the order is placed on say 15.09.2011 and as we could not produce the product the next two days also, the product is not delivered to the customer. So again on 17.09.2011, when the customer is giving order to the sales employee he gives the same order again. And the same order is posted again. This is causing wrong data in Net Pending Sales orders.
I have three options now:
1. Block the order using SP_TransactionNotification, but this way the order gets stalled.
2. Setting up an alert.
3. Setting up for an approval procedure.
Our team does not want any of the above, instead they would like to see a pop up window which gives the info that the same product and quantity there is an open order existing for the same customer. And pop up should have Yes and No button, clicking on Yes the new order gets added and No will return to the order, where the row is deleted and added again.
Our SAP version is SAP B1 8.81 PL 06 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Do we have any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Vineela.

Hi Vineela.....
The same thing you can achieve through SDK.
You need to set a small addon for this in order to get the Pop Up which checks whether the Order for the same combination does exist or not.....
So I would request you to please post the same query to the SDK Forum where you get Expertise Answer and close this thread here.......

Rahul

How do I disable "Exceptions" button for "Block pop-up windows" in Content tab?. I am able to Disable other Exception buttons in this tab using about:config preference.

Need a way to disable "Exception" button for "Block Pop-up windows" in Tools-> Options -> Content tab. I want to be able to do this for Locking Down Firefox preferences.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)

That button doesn't have a pref associated with it, so you can't disable that button with a pref on the about:config page or a lockPref call.
That only leaves the choice to remove that button with code in userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>#popupPolicyButton {display:none!important;}</nowiki></pre>

Pop-up windows from the portal showing address bar

Hi,
I am not sure where to post this thread, but here goes. My client has the CRM web UI which has been integrated into SAP Portal 7.3. I am not aware of how this is done as I am not familiar with CRM.
The issue being faced is that when a user tries to create a new opportunity etc, the pop-up window opens. But an address bar is seen in the pop-up. This was not appearing when they were on an earlier version of EP.
I am not sure where I should be looking to remove the address bar. Is this something related to the web UI and not the portal?
Thanks & Regards,
Vaishnavi

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear. You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Have you tried Word for Mac?
You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf
