What is this Phobo box?

It keeps popping up when I connect to the Internet, it even shows up on my Mac sometimes.
Phobo.apple.com:80
Should I be worried or should I just keep hitting the cancel button?

I don't really understand that page- this box doesn't stop me from accessing itunes or the internet- it just pops up.
What does that article mean by ports anyway?

  • What is this weird box?

    So I opened up idvd and this weird box showed up, I have no idea what it is or what it does. I want to know how to get rid of it. I've tried restarting it and it didn't work. How can I fix this?

    Hi
    It is called TV-Safety area and was a function when making DVDs that was to be played on old CRT-TVs (not flat screens) and as they only show the central part of the picture (called over-scann) one needed a guid to not let text and other things disappear outside the TV-frame.
    BUT THERE ARE one more thing to this.
    Even if it should not be nessessary to keep inside these borders there are sort of BUG in iDVD so if texts, pictures etc touches this bodraries or pass it - RATHER often an ERROR MESSAGE appears that there is
    MULTIPLEXING ERROR
    So by keeping all well inside this area - It will be so much easier to get a good and functioning VIDEO-DVD as result.

  • I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission."  What's this mean?

    I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission."  What does this mean?  All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open.  Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
    Thanks,
    Jamie

  • HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

  • What's this in the box?

    I have a lovely new iPod. Just one stupid question so far: What is this thing in the box? The little white thing, looks like it's some sort of protector for the dock port? What am I to do with this?
    Thanks in advance!
    ibook g3 now cadidate MBP owner plus a new color ipod!   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thanks Jeff but I don't think that's it.
    It's not like a plug for a hole, it's about 4" x 3/4" and has a long hole in the middle. Looks like the ipod is meant to sit inside of it and have the cord plugged in but the ipod cannot stand up or lie flat in it. Perhaps it's some sort of adaptor, clicks into something, maybe that the old thicker ipod sat in but it does not fit in the dock of the old ipod, the new one sits in there just fine.
    I'm stumped as to what it could be that Apple thought we were all going to need it.

  • I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

    I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

    Ask Linksys. If you reset the extender it presumably lost the username and password it was supposed to service.  I'd just supply the name and password and move on.

  • HT4060 Suddenly my iPad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What does this mean. Why has it suddenly appeared?

    Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,

  • When attempting launch of photoshopcc,I get a box with "could not load the MMX core routines module because it does not work with this version of PS... what does this mean and how do I correct it?

    when attempting launch of photoshopcc,I get a box with "could not load the MMX core routines module because it does not work with this version of PS... what does this mean and how do I correct it?

    I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in.  Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2.   I do not know if you installed that or not.  The cc un-install may have done something.  You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2.  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6   If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
    You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

  • I go onto ordinary websites and then all of a sudden this grey box appears on the middle of my screen, then it automatically restarts my computer. I am not really sure what to do and how to get it fixed

    I go onto ordinary websites and then all of a sudden this grey box appears on the middle of my screen, then it automatically restarts my computer. I am not really sure what to do and how to get it fixed. Any help would be great. Thanks

    what does the box say?  Is is a black box with grey writing?

  • 3D extrude: what caused this box?

    Whats the cause of that grey box in the 3D extrude below?  I've selected all so that you can see all there is in there; the top is before 3D, bottom is the same object, after 3D.
    There is a raster texture in this group of stuff, but its bounding box is *just* beyond the letterforms. IOW, not nearly as large as this gray box you see below. Thank you for any ideas on this!
    cat

    OK I got it!
    You are correct it is caused by the texture.
    First I embedded the image that I used as texture
    2 I copied the outline text group and paste in front or back (turn the visibilty of the ouline text group, that is on top, off.)
    3 select the outline text directly over the texture image and ungroup it
    4. while the ungrouped text is still selected maake it a compound path even though it says it already is
    5. select thie compound path copy of the text and the image and make it a clipping mask
    6 Turn on the visibility of the text on top and give it the fill you want and set the blending mode to Multiply
    7 you can select both copies of the text now (you can group them if you wish but do not have to)
    8. Apply your 3D Effect>Bevel and Extrude and you will get this
    I believed wha cause this was that the text was not ungrouped and perhaps an opacity mask was made instead of a clipping path.
    This is with an opacity mask and the outlined text is not removed.
    I am pretty sure it is the Opacity mask when grouped with the overlaying text set to multiply.

    You can safely ignore that permissions message:

    Does the computer actually now boot up normally?
    FWIW, Norton has possibly the worst reputation on here of the various unnecessary anti-virus software programs available and the popular advice is to get rid of it entirely according to the developers instructions.

  • ITunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this?

    iTunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this? When I click on the "Learn More" button in the dialog box it takes me to a generic iTunes support page that has no relevance to carrier settings.

    I got this three times within the last 4 hours and have been getting it almost every day since I use my new iPhone 6 - over a week now. This happens almost every time I connect the phone to my MacBook Pro, although every time I confirm and it indicates successful update.
    It is highly unlikely that my carrier updates settings on daily basis or three times a day. It is almost surely a bug in the Apple system and anything but a timely and effective solution is unacceptable.
    For debugging information, I recovered a backup from my former iPhone 5 onto the new one, using the same carrier and SIM.
