When browsing, my pages are often redirected at random--sometimes to objectionable sites. How do I stop this?

This is not a problem that has to do with searches. If I go to one of my regular web pages, say Yahoo!, the site will come up, then disappear when I'm redirected to some other page. The new page is random: sometimes something I've searched or used before, such as Amazon.com, sometimes a random site, such as a dating or school web site, and sometimes porn. It first started with facebook, but has spread to nearly any page I open. Today, I was on a secure web site (my bank) when redirected. Please help!

Perform a thorough malware scan using several scanners (use only the free scanners, no need to buy one)

My changes to a duplicated page are not syncing up in the Creative Cloud. How can I fix this?

I'm using Adobe Proto on an iPad. I created one page and successfully viewed it in the Creative Cloud. Then I duplicated that 1st page so I could work on the next page in that project. I made some changes to the 2nd page and then synced the project with the Creative Cloud again.
Once I try to view the 2nd page in the Creative Cloud, it's still an exact copy of the 1st page. In other words, my changes on the 2nd page don't show up. I've tried synching the project many times and I get the same result. Tried opening the project from another browser, same result.
My changes to a duplicated page are not syncing up in the Creative Cloud. How can I fix this?
Thank you.

Yes, I'm 99% certain the project is being synced. If I duplicate more than the one page so that I end up with more than 2 pages, I still see every single page that I duplicated and made changes as the initial version of the page.
I duplicated that 1st page again so that I have 3 pages. I made changes to the 3rd one and I'm still not seeing those changes when I look at the page in Creative Cloud. I see the new, 3rd page, so that should mean the project is being synced, correct?

How do I delete ..when logging into my email.. it populates my entire email address .. how do I stop this ?

how do I delete.. when logging into my email.. it populates my entire email address.. how do I stop this ?????

Hi Roam.
Message understood.
I managed to delete me and substitute her as Administrator. Thanks.
you ask what machine I am now using, I am a Windows man, currently using XP Pro SP3 and have been for 10 years. A friend from the Education Dept gave me a phased out Mac with OS X in an endeavor to convert me.
At first I was very impressed but as time went on I found that the Mac was not as user friendly as I had thought. The terminology was foreign to me, and where Windows placed thing automatically into place, with Mac I had to physically pick up and re-locate programs.
But what really turned me off was that nearly every thing that I wanted to do I had to go to the net and try and find drivers or whatever to overcome my problems.
A point in question, I purchased an external USB dual layer DVD burner. When connected to XP, it was recognized instantly and within a few minutes I as up and going. With the Mac, it is not even recognized let alone getting it to work!
And then there are all the other little things like printing. In windows every thing from every page I can print, Ctrl + P. With the Mac, I am still trying to find out how to print a page from the Help menu.
Enough said. My daughter is interested and that is all that counts. Let her work it all out, she is smarter (an younger) than me.

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

When using Lightroom then exporting to Aperture i always get 2 files? How can i Stop this?

If i Import my images to lightroom and edit, I like to display my images in Aperture but when i do the import to Aperture the image always appears twice, How do i stop this?
I generally safe as a Tiff file for my import.

Here's what I find strange (actually it's all a bit strange!), you say earlier that the import doesn't see these tiff files, yet import should see tiff files just fine:
And now you say you resave as tiff in PS and it fixes the problem.
The only conclusion I can draw is that there is something unusual about the way you are exporting the TIFF from Lightroom. TIFF is a container format that can contain multiple pages/images. I wonder if you have somehow told Lightroom to save 2 copies of the image into a single TIFF file, and then Aperture is showing you one version of the same file per image/page?

After loading my home page (BBC) Yahoo then loads automatically in a 2nd tab, how do I stop this?

When I open Firefox, my home page (BBC) opens normally, then, after a few seconds Yahoo opens automatically in a second tab and the screen goes to Yahoo. How do I stop this?

If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab. 
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have ms exchange on my iphone 4s and when i read my email, it disappears. Where does it go and how do I stop this from happening?

I recently aquired an iphone 4s due to the fact that our parent corporation requires us to use either a blackberry or iphone in order to have the protection needed to use their email. In MS Exchange, when I recieve an email, I read it once, then it's gone. Very frustrating as I need to keep those emails available. Where do they go and How do I stop this from happening?

i actually got it figured out. I have multiple email accounts i have to use due to different corporate offices ( which can be a real headache at times). The exchange account is an active server used by Hilton and its an actual account. What was happening is my mail was getting kicked back to their server for storage. Once I contacted Hilton, they corrected it on their end. Thanks for trying to help out.

This is going to sound like a joke, but it is not. When I try to text "LOL" it autocorrects to "Eat my poop ; )". How do I stop this?

This is not s joke...and it is so annoying. When I try to text "LOL", it automatically auto-corrects to read "Eat my poop ; )". Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Someone played a prank on you and entered a keyboard shortcut to change lol to something else. Your can delete that shortcut in Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts

When I open Firefox another separate Firefox window opens with an ad. How do I stop this?

Since Firefox upgraded to 3.6.12 I have been having a separate Firefox window open everytime I open up Firefox. This separate window has some kind of advertisement. I click on that separate page to close it out and sometimes it also closes out the original I opened up, sometimes it doesn't. It is getting very frustrating to have these other sites just open up and I have to keep closing them out. I have checked my pop-up blocker and it is turned on...but this really is not a pop-up. So how do I get these advertisements to stop showing up?

Sounds like Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. '''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)'''

Hi when I import files to my I Tunes they always go into playlistds, how can I stop this and how can I transfer them to my library?

how can I stop my imported music from going into playlists? and how can I transfer playlists to my library?

Imported files will go into any smart playlists that they qualify for. If new playlists are being created as you import folders then the folders contain m3u playolist files made by another application and iTunes is importing those too. You can search for and delete these before import, use http://albumbrowser.klarita.net/itfw.html instead of iTunes' Files > Add folder or use my script KillTopLevelPlaylists after the import.

When I turn on apple tv - my iTunes on my macbook turns on - how can I stop this?

Hello - When I turn on Apple TV - My itunes music on my macbook pro turns on - How can I disable this?
Thanks,
Rob

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

When I switch between tabs the page jumps down about 20 lines. Why? And how do I stop this?

I am running on Mac, OS X 10.9.1 .
When using Firefox if I switch between tabs or open a new tab from a link the page will jump down about 20 lines. This does not happen on all websites. Most notably on Facebook, but a bunch of other sites do it as well.
Help would be nice.
Thanks

When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

When browsing, my pages are often redirected at random--sometimes to objectionable sites. How do I stop this?
