When I use Safari, ads popup all over the place.

Recently when using Safari, I get popup ads all over the place along with jerky performance. When I disable Java in Safari, the problem disappears, but then I can't view videos. I downloaded an Apple approved copy of Java for Yosemite and installed it, but the problem persists. I then ran a Mac malware removal program as well as the Avast anti-virus scan, but the problem still remains.

  • Safari bookmarks are all over the place on my iPhone 4

    My Safari bookmarks are in folders on my MacBook, but are all over the place on my iPhone 4. Some are in folders, some out; some missing, some duplicated, some pages that aren't bookmarked but are visited. How do I get the iPhone to look like the laptop?
    I deleted the bookmarks on the iPhone but they went right back when the phone synced with iTunes.

    I suggest you update to iOS 6.1.3 and try again.

  • When in organizer how do I keep my cursor from jumping all over the place?

    When I am working in Organizer 12, My cursor jumps all over the place and the screen keeps repositioning itself.  It is infurating and I can't get any work done. New desktop iMac using Marevick 10.9.1  and wireless mouse and track pad both slowed to lowest level.  Also tried using a tethered mouse but no different.  Anyone else have this problem.  Is it an Apple problem?

    Is it a 'Magic Mouse'? If so that's why, there are many reports that it is badly behaved in the Elements Organizer. If not, do you have another mouse you could try it with (to rule out a hardware problem)?

  • When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know.  Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

    I recently had to replace my ipod touch.  The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly.  Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one.  When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes.  Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

    Yes I did.  When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod.  The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared.  Is there any way to recover them?

  • My stills are all over the place when I export them. How can I have them play as they appear on the Viewer?

    Hello everyone.
    When I exported my video (all stills), the images are all over the place. I had adjusted the postition (X & Y) for each one, and when I exported the video, the stills are not staying in one place, but are coming from different angles and different positions. How can I fix it so that when exported, it plays as it does on my Viewer?
    Thank you!

    First, I'd try deleting all render files in both the associated Events and Projects (File menu).  Do not render before exporting.
    "Preference Manager" is a free download from Digital Rebellion (dot com) you can delete the FCP X pref files quickly, easily, safely.  Try that next.

  • When I reply to an email, if I hit enter the line to the left breaks and the message goes all over the place and the recipient cannot read it.

    My friend tells me my answers to her emails go all over the place on the email and she cannot read them. What can I do to prevent that from happening?

    You might try going to edit on the top line. In the drop down window you will find "attachments". click on that and in that drop down window click on "always send windows friendly attachments" This solve a similar problem for me.

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

  • HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

    Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

    Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
    Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

  • Battery all over the place

    I have a three month old MBP. I often browse the forums to inform myself on what's up before it happens to me. I found out about the battery update that way, and did it. I read about the possible problems that may occur, but I am not sure my problem fits - or if it even is a problem.
    My battery used to last for a really long time - 4 to 5 hrs. Now it doesn't. I usually only use my MBP for surfing and occasionally downloading music or movies from itunes (haven't done that since the bat. update tho).
    After experiencing shorter and shorter up time, I decided to really keep an eye on it this morning. Last night I got the message that it was running on reserve power, (and I was too) so I plugged the power cord in and shut it down for the night. This morning I unhooked the power, started it up and the time left read 5:32 for about a second or two and then read 2:32. I used it for a few minutes, walked away - the display went to sleep - I woke it up and it read 4:50. After that I let the display sleep several times and every time I woke it up I got a different reading - all over the place. 6:xx - 3:xx -4:xx and so on. I then decided to browse this discussion area and couldn't find exactly this scenario. I have been on for about 15 minutes and the time has stayed within a range of 3:05 to 2:42. I am going to let it go into full sleep and come back to finish up this post. Oh...by the way:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5189
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4531
    Amperage (mA): -1494
    Voltage (mV): 11967
    Cycle Count: 37
    I'm back. Time left reads 2:22 - seems normal enough for being gone about 20 minutes. Power readings:
    Battery Information:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5188
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3695
    Amperage (mA): -1522
    Voltage (mV): 11796
    Cycle Count: 37
    But where has my battery life gone? I guess what it says now is a true reading, but since I have only had the computer unplugged from the power for about 1.5 hours, and it has been used for only about 25 minutes, isn't this a short period of life? It used to sit practically all day on battery power only being used once in a while. I am going on vacation in two weeks and I don't think this battery will even get me through one dvd movie on the plane - on a three month old computer! Any thoughts?
    sj

    Sarah,
    The two cruical numbers for the estimate of the time remaining are the remaining capacity and amperage. If you divide capacity by amperage you will get the time estimate.
    These values update relatively slowly - about every minute or so. This can lead to weird values when your computer changes its activity quickly.
    Thus, right after you wake the computer up or reactivate the screen it is likely that the amperage will be low (because it doesn't use much power in sleep mode or with the screen off) and the time estimate will be high. Similarly, just after you unplug the computer the amperage estimate will be low (because it is just the amperage drawn from the battery). I have seen estimates of over 200 hours right after I unplug the AC. But as soon as it updates it all sorts itself out.
    Your battery seems to be behaving normally and 5200mAh seems about right for a 15" MBP battery. They start at around 5500mAh and decline from there. Apple suggests that you should get around 300 cycles before it drops below 80% of initial capacity (4400mAh for the 15" MBP battery).
    The number one hint for getting longer life out of your MacBook is to turn the brightness of the screen down. That is typically the biggest drain on the battery.

  • Symbols all over the place!!

    Hi there,
    Have a problem with symbols appearing all over websites, it started with my hotmail getting corrupted (doesn't affect functionality) but when I open up websites I get what I think is Marlett font all over the place (just noticed it where 'header' should be on this page!). The font list has Marlett missing and just a string of symbols instead. Also I've tried downloading 4 seperate anti-virus programmes and I can't open any of them.
    There doesn't appear to be any help on Google for this problem on a Mac so - any suggestions? I'm just a button-pressing monkey so any solution which needs anything more technical than a kick I might be struggling!
    Cheers
    Jon

    Which browser are you using?
    You may want to try a different browser, just for the sake of seeing if it's caused by the browser itself, or by something else.

  • Pace all over the place

    My sport kits worked great for the first 2 weeks, now it is all over the place on tracking my pace. I have recalibrated it at least 3 times. Sometimes it's right on, other times it shows me running a 20 minute mile (when my pace is closer to a 10 minute mile). last night I tried recalibrating it again. It recorded the calibration pace just fine. I kept the same pace and hit basic workout and the pace was WAY off. any thoughts?

    I posted on here a few weeks back. I had the same problem.
    Absolutely no consistency with the pace no matter what I did.
    I flatly refused to buy nike running shoes, but I used my chip inside my shoe with by carving out some of the foam so that the chip laid flat inside the shoe EXACTLY the way it would in the NIKE shoe.
    I still had no consistent result. Regardless of calibrating. Regardless of NOT calibrating. I spent hours on here looking for an answer, or help. tried many things. At the end of the day because of the lack of a reliable pace or distance, I just shelved the unit, and now it works great!
    When I posted earlier, the responses pretty much all blamed me. Operator error. This simply added to my frustration. I'm not an idiot. If it doesn't work, I shouldn't ALSO feel stupid about it. So I'm relieved when I see people on here having a similar frustration.
    I still use my nano, and love it, but now I just stick with a stopwatch...oh...and I run more frequently now, and am improving my ACTUAL time.
