Why are I being redirected everytime I click on a search link

When ever I click on a search link from my search results I am being redirected to some kind of ad or inappropriate website. This began this morning after Firefox installed it's updates
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

"4.0.50524.0" is probably the Silverlight plugin, so no need to remove it.
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.

Why am I being redirected whenever I click a search link?

Whenever I click a search link in Firefox I am redirected to some other site.
== This happened ==

== June 29, 2010

Looks like a problem with the pref ''general.useragent.override''
See [[Finding your Firefox version]] and [[Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
Check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: '''general.useragent'''
If any ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

GOOGLE search, Why am I being redirected every time I use google search.

This is new just since the firefox 4 download. I am redirected every time I use google search. This is a business only computer, and it is terrible trying to quote a price when you can't get to a website.

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

Why are images being copied from a linked library that aren't modified

I'm trying out the linked library feature and that is my preffered way of using iPhoto but I notice that many images that haven't been modified in iPhoto are being copied as full res modified images. My camera Nikon D2x supports auto rotation of verticle images which keeps me from having to manualy rotate these images. I understand that when I modify an image using iPhoto's tools that a full res image will be copied into a modified folder but why are images that have simply been tagged in camera as needing rotation being copied as well. Vertical images account for at least half of all images I shoot and diplaying them properly should be a look at exif or other metadata and applying rotation but since they are images straight from camera they shouldn't show as modified. Anyone have experience or suggestions on how to avoid having auto rotated images show as modified?

blinden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I ran into that but in a different way. I had all of my image files in folders on a second HD and used another application to manage them. I decided to use iPhoto's alias method to work with the same files. I got a lot of files that were copied over as modified. Have no idea why. I ended up doing global revert to Original several times, watching the Modified folder via the Finder, until it became empty. I then closed iPhoto, dragged the Modified folder to the trash and then launched iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and rebuild the library using the first three options. That worked and got me a pristine library.
I had not figured out why that happened. I've had the auto-rotate turned off for about a year now. Had I know what was causing it I could have checked to see if all of those bogus modified files occurred before I had turned off that option in the camera. I'm guessing now that that's what I would have found. Thanks for the info.

Why are my iDevices redirecting me to the App Store?

I hope Apple will get on the bandwagon and help with this issue! When using my iDevices, say on a web site... or even in another application, certain ads seem to be automatically redirecting to the App Store... without any clicks or input from the user.
You'll be surfing the web... and it does seem to happen more on those ad heavy sites... and when the iDevice comes across one of the rogue ads, it just automatically redirects to the App Store showing whatever app the ad was showing.
You don't have to click anywhere, it just seems to HAPPEN.
I don't think the app owner is doing this, and the next statement is totally just MY thought, but I think the ad companies the app owners are hiring to market their apps are doing it.
But, I really hope that Apple takes notice, and decides to help get RID of this problem! It totally makes for a non-Apple experience... and reminds me of Android something feirce. None of us want that.... in fact, thats WHY we put up with (Even embrace) Apples closed-wall system... because things like this DON'T happen. Except, they are happening...
Seems like this has been going on for a few months. And its on up to date devices, including the new iPhones and iPads. Simply saying, its not on jailbroken devices... and, I've talked to MANY users that experience the same thing.
SO, Apple, will you help please? And other users experiencing this... take the time to reply to this post saying so. Apple has a great track record with these kinds of things, so I know that a fix will come... soon... if we all tell our experiences.
THANKS.

I will absolutely try this-- did you post this info because you KNOW it helps with THIS specific issue, or was it just general help info?
Either way it's worth a shot- but I'm wondering if this issue was noticeable by you and this is what fixed it... Or are you just an Apple whiz kid and posting info that MIGHT possibly or probably help?? Just clarification please.
Ultimately I would hope that apple does something specifically about this. Because amateur users surely won't know to do this. And, I'm really an apple power user, or so I think, and this issue has been plaguing my iOS devices.
Thanks. Your post has already been helpful. But, I won't say it's a fix just yet. And even if it is, can't or won't apple do something on their end so this doesn't even happen at all?
Again thanks!!

Why are presets being applied to my photos?

When I used to import my photos into LR5, I could click develop and go through and make any changes I wanted to enhance the photo. Now any photo that comes in seems to have all the features of developing already chosen and it is really messing up my photos. How do I get all those presets off so I can edit/develop my own photos??
Per suggestions from other posts, I have already reset to Adobe developer defaults, deleted my saved preferences, and confirmed that there are no "develop settings" being applied during import. I can still manually apply the "reset" button to every picture, but these used to import automatically set to the default settings (all 0s).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have "Apply auto tone adjustments" checked in your preferences?

Why are podcast being synced as part of my music library?

I think other people are having similar problems, but I can't seem to find a topic that's exactly the same as mine, so apologies if this is a repost:
I have a 20" Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I have a 4GB iPod Mini, and a Music Library consisting of 267 songs (1.6 GB total), and several podcasts that I subscribe to. When I attached my iPod to this particular Music Library and set the synchronization settings, I checked the box under Music for it to sync my entire library (since it was well under my 4 GB limit), told it to sync only the most recent episode of 3 podcasts, and disabled disk use, contacts and iCal.
When I clicked "Apply", I was told that there wasn't enough space on my iPod to sync everything, and did I want to turn off Podcast syncing. It struck me as odd (there was no way that three podcasts were taking up the remaining 2.4 GB of space), but I clicked OK anyway. THEN I was told that there wasn't enough space to synchronize my entire music library, and did I want iTunes to select what songs to copy. Befuddled, I clicked OK, and then saw the progress meter copying 1 of 309 songs. This was VERY strange, since my library window showed only 267 songs and 1.6 GB.
As I watched the progress, I saw it copying episodes of my podcasts! Why is iTunes recognizing my podcasts as part of my music library when they don't show up in my library window? I checked my library folder, and all my podcasts are within the "podcasts" folder, and inside their respective folders on top of that. Is this a bug or a "feature". The only way I was able to get the sync to work correctly was to tell iTunes to only sync my playlists, but that didn't work completely, because there are items in my library which aren't in specific playlists.
Any insight that you could offer would be appreciated. TIA.

Figured it out...make sure your default "smart" playlists are set to ignore "Genre > Contains > Podcast". Otherwise you end up with Podcasts in your playlists that you didn't know were there.

Why are albums being taken down?

For example, today I felt like listening to Neil Young. I have 4 of his albums downloaded and saved offline. Today, I discovered that ALL 4 of those albums have been TAKEN DOWN....where did they go? I went to the artists profile and out of 30 album selections that used to be there....only 6 remain!? What happened!?

Hi!
There are many reaons why some Songs are removed. The first reason is the artist herself(like, T.S.)/himself wants to remove the songs. And the other reasons, I don't know others. Contacting support is a good way to know the specific reason why. Click here
Hope this helps :)
