I get a tab opening that says that I have won and to click on the button to get my prize, I am unable to close that and therefore uninstalled Firefox... What is that all about? It appears to be malware.

The tab that opens does so in a second tab after the home page tab has opened, but it does not allow access to the home page tab, and it will not allow closing of the tab. It says that you have "WON", and you need to click on the button to collect your prize. It is clearly malicious software, but what, why and how to avoid it is not at all clear. It does not corrupt Internet Explorer.

Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I get redirected to unwanted web sites during searches from the browser ONLY, never from the toolbar. Is this the same malware problem as discribed for redirects from BOTH the browser and the toolbar?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== was happening with Internet Explorer, continues with Firefox

Did you do a malware check?
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I am still getting redirected to various web sites when using Safari. My PC is not affected but my I phone and I pad are. I have reset my router and changed my admin name and password. I am still being redirected.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '. What is this all about ?

When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '. What is this all about ?

If everything is working OK, I believe it simply means that the iPad and iTunes are communicating and that any changes that you made to the sync configuration are waiting to go through. If you updated apps on the iPad and they get transferred into iTunes or if you download new songs onto the iPad and they are being transferred into iTunes, any app data that moves back and forth - those would be changes that need to be applied.
If you can't finish the sync and that's why you are asking, can you provide more specific details?

WEB DAV what is it all about ? can i get it ?

Hi I am very pleased i can now use the iCloud as it was originally intended to do, as regards saving/loading to the iCloud in all iWork Apps
However one of the options that is in the Save/Load menu tells me that i can use WEB Dav, this doesnt seem to be very well explained as to how i can get it and use it.
I made enquiries at a couple of Web Space Hosts that i pay to use, they dont want anything to do with WEB Dav. one of them suggested use DropBox, but didnt explain HOW !!!
So what is so terrible about the idea of WEB Dav and why dont the people who could set it up for there customers, obviously DON'T ?

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

I get redirected to a different site based either on my locale, keyboard language or product language. How can I prevent this from happening

There are several sites that I access where I type in www.xxxxx.com or support.mozilla.com expecting to get the American site but due either to my "locale" which is set to Germany or my "Keyboard Language" which is set to German, I get automatically redirected to the German site. As all my software is in English but I have a German Laptop, I wish to go to the English sites. Conversely there are sites where I type in www.xxxx.de wishing to go to the German site, but get re-directed to the UK Site because my software is in English. Many of these sites then allow you to chose the country you want thereby correcting this behaviour, but unfortunately there are a host of sites whose programmers have not foreseen the need for this and the sites are thus unreachable. An example of this is www.proidee.de which automatically redirects me to the UK Site.
What I am looking for is some way to prevent these sites from imposing their will over my decisions. I see this as a direct infringement of my rights.

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

TS3694 while trying to restore my iphone i am getting an error message 2001. what does that mean

Hello,
When I am trying to restore my iphone I a getting an error message that reads, " The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2001)."
What does that error message mean?
v/r,
A Concerned customer

Google is your friend.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error2001
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

I get 'redirected' or 'jump' instead of what I 'googled'; I get ads etc

After loading Firefox 'Home' and using the search bar -say for instance- Walthers.com [a model RR products store] I get a listing of many 'walthers' sites but not the one I asked for [walthers.com].
If I fill in ..'www.walthers.com' on Foxfire's ''''''top box''' '''it gets the correct site- but part of the screen is filled with related ads.
