Weird scripting appears each time I open my macbook and freezes everything

Each time I open my macbook white scripting highlighted in black fills my screen and freezes my whole computer. Each time I have to hold the power button to turn it off. The script starts off with this "panic(cpu 1 caller 0x1109d30): AppleIntelGMAX3100FB GPU parser error. EIR 0x1 ESR 0x1 Instruction Error IPEIR 0 IPEHR 0xafd6e6f7 BBADDR 0 INSTDONE 0xffe5fafd INSTPS 0xb8c32 INSTPM 0x10"
I have a 2007 black macbook... I need to make it last a little longer. Please help!

You should never install software or a Firefox extension when a website asks you to do this as this is likely an effort to install malware.
You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Your System Details List shows the Default Tab 2.3.1 and the SafeSearch 2.1 extensions.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

"Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.

"Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro. I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem. Can anyone provide some insights?

Thanks Bill. After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday. I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
My problem was solved after the first step. THANK YOU. Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

Adblock advert appears each time Safari opens

As above. I cannot stop the advert from loading each time I start up Safari. I have clicked everything I can find in Adblock to no avail. Adblock tells me to:
If you see this message every time you start AdBlock, please make sure you are not using a file cleaner that also cleans 'localStorage' files.
I cannot find a file cleaner or localStorage files. Adblock can't seem to help me, can you? Thanks.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Firefox set up message appears each time i open firefox

Every time I open Firefox I get a message saying "You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 4.0.1exe which is a: binary file from: http://mozilla.cdn.leaseweb.com Would you like to save this file?"
I have tried saving it again, re-running the set up file, all to no avail I still get the message every time I open Firefox. How can I stop it?

How do I turn off the time? The lock screen appears each time I open the smart cover.

No matter which app I'm in, when I open the smart cover, the lock screen with the time shows. This is on an iPad Air
On my iPad Mini, it goes right to the app and skips the lock screen.
It's sure nicer not to be reminded what time it is in the middle of the night--and not have the brighter lock screen flashed!

Appreciate the reply. The settings are identical, so that's not it! I do not use the pass code lock, in any event. The behavior I'm describing is, in fact, turns out to be unrelated to the lock settings!
It depends upon whether an alert has occurred after the last time you closed the cover! In iOS 7, that will show the lock/unlock screen with the alert when you next open the cover. In iOS 6, more properly, it will show the alert over the screen you were last looking at--no lock screen at all.
On our iPad Mini, iOS 6, we do not use the calendar, so no alerts, and we never see the lock screen or its glaring time (count me among those who would rather not know it's 3am when I decide to read in the middle of the night!) On the Air, we return to where we left off if there hasn't been an alert--but to the lock screen if there has been one!
Truly wish that Apple would give us options as to displaying the time or not--on the lock screen and on the status bar!

Each time I open my MacBook something called "Bigfoot" searches for emails etc

Does this happen to anyone else?
And how can I stop this happening?

One quick and dirty solution, assuming that you never delete the data files, is to do a directory scan, get the number of files in the directory, and append that number on to your file name. (Then for safety sake, use a simple loop that checks if file already exists, if it does, increment your count by one, and try again.)
Simple design here, a bit crude, but gets the idea across.
Oh, am not sure when they were added, but the two colored file subVI's are 'Get File Extension.vi' and 'Check if File Exists.vi' in the File I/O -> Advanced File Functions sub-pallet.

MacBook Pro loads crash screen each time I open it.

Each time I open my MacBook after it's been closed for a while (I haven't time it to see if there's a minimum), it boots on a semi-opaque gray screen with a white loading bar (several rectangular boxes spaced apart from each other). I think that screen is usually for when your computer dies/crashes and reboots itself.
Any idea what's going on? I tried restarting/turning off and back on (one or the other usually resolves any problem I'm having). I'm running 10.8.2 with the latest firmware updates.
15" MacBook Pro (Summer 2012)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
1680x1050 Screen Resolution (the upgrade)
500 GB HD
Thanks!

I recommend you keep a regular backup going in the time being, as it is very odd that an iTunes update would prevent this. Therefore it may be something bigger that just temporarily stopped coincidentally with your iTunes upgrade. With a Time Machine backup you can also migrate your data to a new installation that should be more stable if the problem persists and is ultimately software-based.

Why is the master password entry window popping up twice each time I open my Firefox?

Each time I open my Firefox, and go to a website where my password has been stored, the master password window pops up. When I enter it, it disappears, and requires me to enter it a second time. In essence, the window prompt is popping up twice. One over the top of another. I have even tried to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. Same problem.

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

I get a message asking me if I want to change my default search engine to Yahoo! Search each time I open Firefox. How do I disable this annoying message?

For the past few days, each time I open Firefox on my home computer, a popup message is briefly displayed: "Your browser's default search engine is not set to Yahoo! Search. Would you like to set it now? (Yes/No)". After perhaps 15 seconds at most, the popup disappears and my home page appears as normal. I have the Yahoo! Toolbar installed, and Yahoo! Search is the search engine there; however, the search box on the address bar (which allows me to select from several search engines) is normally set to Google. The search engine in the address bar hasn't actually been changed to Yahoo! Search without my consent yet -- I'm just annoyed at getting nagged to change search engines every time I open Firefox. How do I get the "nag" messages to shut up & leave me alone?
I would also note that this is only happening on my home computer (which runs Windows 7), not on my work computer (which runs Windows XP, and which I also normally use Firefox as my browser on, with the same Yahoo! Toolbar + Google search in the address bar setup).
I have run Threat Scans with Malwarebytes (paid version) and a Quick Scan with Avast! (free version), and neither has eliminated this "nag" message from Yahoo! Search.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Registration window appears every time I open InDesign...and it's already registered

After a recent computer crash, I reloaded ID CS2 on a new system and even though it's been successfully activated and registered, the registration window is appearing every time I open InDesign. I received an e-mail from Adobe thanking me for registering, including the special "offer" I can now take advantage of...so I know it's registered.
How can I stop that registration window from appearing every time I open InDesign?

Bob,
Can you be a bit more specific?
My Registration Window just recently started popping up, too, even though it's been registered -- and registered -- several times.
I went to:
- Control Panel, then selected
- Security Center, then selected
- "Change the way Security Center alerts me"
I'm presented with three options:
1. Yes, notify me and display the icon (recommended);
2. Don't notify me, but display the icon; and
3. Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not recommended).
So, which choice would still keep my system protected, but get rid of the irritating Registration Window from popping up each time I start Adobe?
Thanks.

My iPhoto application rebuilds each time I open it. How do I avoid?

Each time I open iPhoto warning appears...need to upgrade library...then inconsistencies appear need to rebuild etc. etc. But nothing changes permanently. Why not? How to fix?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD

My yahoo toolbar add in disappears each time I open firefox, requiring me to install the tool bar with each session. Would you know what might be causing this?

I have always used the yahoo toolbar to store my bookmarks. I recently had my computer serviced for an network problem I was experiencing, and since its return to to I have found that I must install the yahoo toolbar each time I open firefox. The toolbar does not stay for subsequent sessions like it had in the past. Is there a setting or problem that may be causing this?

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
