Why do I have hyperlink adware inserting themselves in secure webpages

in the last couple of days I have noticed that there are hyperlinks on certain Keywords and a whole bunch of websites where they never have been before and shouldn't be. they are all advertisements for something be it clothes or lessening your power bill or something else.
some of the keyword I have noticed it on is "register", "email", and "Christmas" there are more I am noticing daily. I have ran my virus scan and even tried another scan I downloaded, plus I have contacted the operator of one of the pages and they assure me there are no hyperlinks. Can you please help me with this? is it an add on I have chosen or is there something new you don't know about either.
I hope this is sufficient for you, I can provide more info if I need to.

hello, please uninstall all toolbars or other suspicious software that you can't account for in firefox > addons > extensions & in the windows control panel/programs section (there you can sort by install date and easily find what was added during the last few days)

HT203208 Why do I have to keep putting in my security code every time I buy?

I have to put in my credit card's security code every time I buy something from iTunes. I seem to be the only person that has to do this because I've asked friends and they don't have to do this. Is there a setting I need to change in my iTunes profile?
Thanks in advance.

No Problem Demo.. They said to keep trying they would get back to me later this week, she had to talk to the tech people that has a longer history than what she has availabe.. We also ran the diagnostics on the ipad and all is fine with the firmware and the battery.
One thing that leads me to believe i am locked out of the servers, when i do a restore through itunes I get that little lock in the window just above where it says the servers are unavailable.
I have also been intouch with verizon and they said they would run some diagnostics on there end and would get back to me, that was 2 weeks ago.
Thats what I like about apple they're good on the follow up.

I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes. they are strictly a convenience for designers.
i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

Why do i get the "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" error when I don't even have a disk inserted?

Why do I keep getting "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" caution message when I don't have a disk inserted???

Unfortunately, I saw this error for the first time this morning. It's on my wife's iMac running Lion, and it appeared when the machine locked up on a Software Update screen prompting her to run an update (I'm assuming this was the recent Security Update).
After numerous failed attempts to force-quit or otherwise safely restart, she hit the power button, and when the machine came back up it failed to recognize the startup disk. I've since successfully restarted from several different (external) startup disks without incident, but each time I attempt to fix the internal drive via Disk Utility the disk shows only as "Media" and all the usual options to Repair or Verify the Disk are greyed out, leaving only the Erase Disk option.
Are we totally hosed?

Why do I have to insert someone else's resume into my profile to change my copy paste settings??

I just want to use copy/paste with my mouse.
Why can't you make it just a toggle in Firefox?
Why do I have to enter someone else's resume in my user.js file??
That makes even LESS sense.
For Firefox:
Quit Firefox. If you have Quick Launch running (in Windows, an icon in the toolbar), quit that too.
Find your Firefox profile directory.
Open the user.js file from that directory in a text editor. If there's no user.js file, create one.
Add these lines to user.js:
[edit: removed personal information]
Note: The preference is site as well as protocol specific. For example:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org")
is not the same as:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.mozilla.org")
This is because the first uses HTTP while the second uses HTTPS.
If you want to allow multiple URLs to access the Paste operation, separate the URLs with a space. For example:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites",
"https://www.mozilla.org https://developer.mozilla.org")
For more information about security policies, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html.

Sorry about that. You can find the addons by using:
 Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
 "Extensions" is under the "Get Add-ons" item

I'm thinking maybe those sites use different text editors than other websites making copy and pasting outside of those webpages a PITA.
This site tries to explain how to do what you were trying to do earlier.
 http://www.infogears.com/cgi-bin/infogears/mozilla_firefox_copy_paste.html
 Which is to enable access to the clipboard (the place where copied items are stored) for these sites.
The addon [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/ AllowClipboard Helper] tries to fix this on websites like the ones you go to. But it can be tricky to setup. There's a good tip from one of the reviewer's of that addon by the guy named '''pewe''' ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/reviews/351658/ Link to review]).
So in Firefox, copying is blocked from certain text editors.
 This article tries to explain why Firefox does this:
 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard
It works in Internet Explorer because they are not strict about this "Javascript access to clipboard" feature but Firefox is b/c they think it's a security risk since the website can read and copy whatever you put into the clipboard.
So long story short, certain websites use text editors that make it impossible to copy & paste stuff from them to other areas where you want to copy & paste. You could try all the stuff I mentioned above (although it's a bit nerdy) or you can save yourself the trouble/frustration and just use Internet Explorer when browsing these websites.
If you hate switching between IE & Firefox just to check a few sites, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/ IE Tab addon]. It lets you use Internet Explorer inside Firefox by opening it in a special tab. Don't ask me how they do it. :P But it works.

Please help. Why aren't my hyperlinks moving over from one document to another?

Firstly I'm using Adobe InDesign 5.5
I have document A, which has over 50 pages.
Then document B, with over 40 pages.
All the pages on document B, I want to 'move' over to document A, so document A will now have 90 pages and I'll no longer need document B. The issue is, when I move the pages over, the hyperlinks I have throughout document B don't move over (which there are over 30 hyperlinks on certain sections of certain pages).
Now it seems like the only 'slow/safe' process of doing this, is to copy page 1&2 of Document B, and then 'paste in place' on document A, and then go back to B and copy pages 3&4. this is a long process...considering I have over 2,500 pages to get through.
Why aren't the hyperlinks moving over? When I go back to document A, I click on the hyperlink tab and it's blank.
It's really annoying and I'm trying to figure out why this is even happening and can't find any solution online.

You should save both documents before doing that with Save as into the same folder, so thel links will not change.
I would recommend to package your files after doing that.

Why do I have to remove VI from SubPanel?

LV 2013, Win7
I have a program where a menu item can open or close a particular window.
That window is large, contains 72 SubPanels, each SubPanel contains a single instance of a reentrant VI (called the BLOCK VI).
I have a LARGE memory leak (about 100 MBytes ) each time the window opens and closes. I'm using the Windows function WORKING SET SIZE to judge memory usage.
In chasing this, I have put a DIAGRAM DISABLE around the entite block diagram of the BLOCK VI. That means it cannot allocate anything in code.
The problem still exists.
I seem to have found the problem, but I don't understand why - it seems to contradict the HELP.
The HELP text for INSERT VI into a SubPanel says this:
I interpret that highlighted part as meaning when my Window VI stops, the VIs will be REMOVED automatically (They have been stopped before).
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Here is the Memory usage before I discovered the removal angle. I Open and close the window 4 times:
If I REMOVE the VI myself, then here's what it looks like:
--- That's more like I would expect - whatever it uses when open, it gives back when closed.
I have verified it's a real problem - I have a stress test to cycle the open/close operation, and it eventually dies with a MEMORY FULL message.
So, here's the code:
There is a tab control with 12 pages on it. Each page has nothing but six SubPanels on it.
So, I collect those 72 SubPanel references.
For performance reasons, I pick out the page that is showing (set from the last time the user closed it), and launch the blocks for that page first.
I then bring up the window's front panel, and then launch the blocks that are not showing, so that they are ready to go if the user switches tabs.
Here is the LAUNCH BLOCKS code:
I convert the generic ref to a SubPanel Ref, open a CALL and COLLECT reference to the BLOCK VI, and insert the VI, then RUN the BLOCK VI instance.
No errors occur here.
When I CLOSE the window, here's what happens:
The instances of the BLOCK VI have already been told to quit (for this test, they are entirely disabled anyway, so do not run).
I WAIT ON ASYNCH CALL for each one (I don't really need to collect anything, but I need to wait on them quitting. I've been going back and forth between C&C and other methods of doing that.
It's that REMOVE VI part that I DISABLED and ENABLED to produce the mem usage graphs above. Originally I didn't have it, but I tried and it seems to solve the problem.
But why? The help says that I don't need it. After this code, the window VI quits, so they should be removed automatically.
But yet the memory piles up...
QUESTIONS:
1.. Why do I have to REMOVE the VI?
2... Does it matter if I RUN the VI before INSERTING, or INSERT before RUNNING?

I would say that the help is poorly phrased. It's quite easy to demonstrate that the when a VI stops running, the VIs in its subpanels are not removed automatically (see the example). I'm assuming that what was meant here is "until the VI that contains the SP goes idle or out of scope", which is not how most people would interpet "stop". As long as the VI stays in run mode, even if it's not actually running, the FP stays in the SP unless you remove it.
This is the behavior you're seeing and it explains the memory issues. Since you're not removing the FPs, they are apparently staying open, thus making your close ref a no-op, and since you then keep going, they're apparently staying open in the background. This is a guess. I haven't checked it, but it seems to match what you're describing.
And no, I don't think the order of the operations matters, but I would suggest running the VI before inserting, to avoid a case where you have a non-running VI visible.
Try to take over the world!

Why do I have to click on all of my flash components before I can navigate?

Without modification to the code...the component is there but
it needs to be clicked on before I can navigate the site. Should
Dreaweaver not know how to properly insert the code necessary allow
the flash component to view properly? What am I missing? I know
this is a Deramweaver forum....but the problem does not not seem to
be with Flash, it seems to be in the code that Dreamweaver creates
when the Flash component is inserted.
I have been able to find a work around to my problem but
surely it is not what everyone out there is doing. If
so...Dreamweaver or Flash has a serious bug!
I created a site a while back and everthing worked fine. So I
copied some code from that site to fix the new one. However even
after copying the code I still have to modify it to make it
work..(the modifcations are obvious.) This is suely not the way it
is done all the time.
I have three questions:
1. Why did everything work fine with the first site with no
modifications?
2. Why do I have to copy the code to the other site after
inserting the Flash component?
3. Why does dreamweaver not do it for me? (it did everything
right the other time, but now it doen't even work in the previous
site)
I feel like I must have changed a setting somewwhere that I
did not realize would effect this...Perhaps it is a Dreamwweaver
thing.
PLEASE HELP!

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's
interface.

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

Why do I have to "renew Touch ID purchases" all the time?

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password when updating apps?
If I make new purchases, it seems to go thru with touch ID most of the time, however if I update an app I am forced to manually enter my password.
I have the 7.0.1 update and apple store purchases under the general->fingerprint section is turned on.
I have searched here and the common theme is do the update. It's not that.
So short question is, why do I have to "Confirm Apple ID password for <insert my Apple ID> to renew Touch ID purchases"?

Go to "Settings - iTunes and App Store", and make sure you're logged in correctly there, and if you're not on wifi, make sure to have the "Use Cellular Data" toggled on. Now, go back to Fingerprint and try to toggle the "iTunes and App Store" back on.
If this doesn't work, try logging into your iTunes account from a computer. You may be having problems with your Apple ID or iTunes account, which is a bigger problems than what you've just discovered here. An Apple chat is a quicker way to get in touch with Apple.

You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.

If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted.

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Why do I have "Unified Info" and plain "Info" categories in my iPhone Contacts?

I have an iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.0.1), an iMac (OS X v10.7.3) and an iCloud account. All are set to sync several things, but the topic of this inquiry is my Contacts. I've noticed that when I open any given Contact listing on my iPhone, each is headed by one of two lines: "Unified Info" or plain "Info." At the bottom of a "Unified Info" contact listing are two lines showing me "Linked Cards," one being for iCloud and the other for iPhone. On the one headed plain "Info" there are no Linked Cards showing at the bottom of the contact listing. As noted above, my system is set so that the Contacts in my iPhone, my iCloud account and my iMac (which is further set to keep both my and my wife's contacts sync'd, as well) all read the same. So why do I have these two "types" of entries on my iPhone? I should note that all the important information in all three places (iPhone, iMac and iCloud) - name, numbers, addresses, etc. - IS THE SAME, but why do they have diffefent headings on my iPhone!?! Any explanation from someone knowledgeable about this would be appreciated, and is there any way I can get - or should want to get - all the Contact entries on my iPhone to be "Unified Info" entries? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.

I've got the same problem. Showed up after trying they 'sync google contacts' feature in Address Book/iTunes. Suddenly I have duplicates of all my Contacts. Address Book doesn't see any duplicates using the 'Find Duplicates...' feature. In Address Book I can only tell the difference between the duplicates by comparing the information in them. The new ones (presumably from Google) are missing fields like URL and birthday. On the iPhone, however, the names have these squares after them. These squares don't show up in Address Book (if they did it would make it much easier to delete them all).
