Why does kanji script appear superimposed on tabs and then appear in an e-mail message from a known commercial sender?

More than once as I am working with 3 or more open tabs, kanji script appears superimposed across the tabs. Won't respond to right or left clicking, haven't tried highlighting.
Today while opening email on yahoo, a message appeared in my inbox with kanji characters in the information parameters (date, checkbox) but English in the subject line. I deleted it.
I'm getting worried. I do not think this is a Yahoo problem as I'm not actually in Yahoo when the kanji appears first, but the yahoo tab was still active. The kanji spreads across more than one tab.

Thanks, Fred. I have removed the Site Advisor. I hesitate to mark the problem solved until some time has passed with no new occurrences. I will be sure to follow up on this in a week or so. MinMan

  • Why does my ipod turn off by itself and then turn back on after up grading to ios 7

    why does my ipod turn off by itself and then back on after upgrading to ios 7

    Try the standard fixes:
    - 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.
    - 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.

  • Why does a border appear around a jpeg when coverting from a Word doc to a PDF?

    I am using a jpeg image on a word document as part of headed paper.
    When printing this as a PDF image, a border is placed around the jepg, not all the way (just the top and left hand side), but this is certainly not present or required before.
    Does anyone know how to remove or avoid this?

    Adobe Reader can't create PDF documents. What software do you use?

  • Why does it take so long to update and then tell me after it's done that it failed? 5 hours.

    I processed the latest update and after 5 hours, it said "done." When I unplugged, though, I was informed that it failed to backup. I plugged it back in and the process started from scratch. Why wouldn't it inform me that it wasn't working early on? Frustrated per the usual.

    You just happened to run into an bug produced by your Apple TV and your Internet connection. Even though they don't want you to switch off they device disconnect your Apple TV from your power chord. When it restarts you can use your Apple TV like before. Often a day later the updates is done in less than 10 minutes. I happened to run into this problem a few times since I have my Apple TV 3

  • Why does plugin-container.exe start 15 times (and then stop) during shutdown (taking MINUTES to shut down)?

    FF takes forever to close (minutes). When using process explorer I see that as many as 15 instances of plugin-container.exe will be opened during the shut down process. I think this means that a plugin is crashing. I disabled all of the plugins and it still happened (but maybe not so many times). An obvious answer is to leave FF open but that seems kinda dumb. I haven't seemed to be able to find this addressed anywhere. I am using updated Xp, on a many year old machine. Please help.
    Thanks, John Rooks
    (also, my submit button doesn't work when I try to send this in via the feedback form. (happy, sad and idea page)

    It is caused by Firefox asking plugins like Flash to remove their cookies and other locally stored data.

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

  • Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

    Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
    Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
    It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
    I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
    A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

    Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
    Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
    Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

  • Why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

    why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

    Ok, I solved it.
    I followed this steps:
    1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
    2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    
com.apple.network.identification.plist
    com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist

    NetworkInterfaces.plist

    preferences.plist
    4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
    5- Reboot the Mac
    6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

    why does camera icon appear next to slide to unlock bar on my IPod touch?  It makes a shutter sound when I turn the touch off

    The camera icon appears so that you can take a picture quickly without having to enter your password.  It is not responsible for the shutter sound.  The Touch always made that sound when manually closing or going to sleep even with older iOS that did not have the camera icon.

  • Why does my contacts appear as unknown when receiving calls

    Why does my contacts appear as unknown when receiving calls

    Anytime you have photos in the Camera Roll album on your iPad your computing assumes you will want to copy them. If you don't want to copy those photos then just quit Image Capture or whatever other program starts when you connect. Then start iTunes and go from there.
