Why does the OPEN WEB LOCATION Box msg keep opening when I try tro type in the name of someone or type anything in the subject line of Yahoo mail? I have to ke

When in Yahoo mail, the OPEN WEB LOCATION box opens for each letter I try to type in in the "To" line and/or the "Subject" line of any new e-mail to someone. I type a letter, the Box opens, and I cannot type anything in the e-mail window anywhere until I close the box. I close the box, type another letter, and the OWL Box open gain. It takes forever to type anything. This started when I updated Firefox to the new 21 version. I Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No help. I uninstalled 21 and re-installed 19 (I was using 19 with no problems until today). No help. The problem will not go away. I note that others have complained of this problem. Is there a fix yet? I have been forced back to IE in the meantime.

hello, you have two extension present in your profile (DownloadTerms 1.0 & WhiteSmoke New 10.16.2.509) that could be considered malware.
please[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if those entries are still present afterwards. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • HT1424 Why does my new ipad ask for a SIM card when I try to start my vpn? There is no sim card in the machine but neither is there a sim card in my computer but vpn works fine?

    Hi oluwaseyi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're seeing the error "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed," be sure to try all of these steps.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
    Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you still are unable to resolve this issue, contact Apple support for further assistance.
    You can find the article with these steps here:

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • Why does (-50) come up as a problem for me when i try to publish?

    when i try to publish my iMovie to iTunes, it keeps coming up with...
    Unable to prepare project for publishing.
    this project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured. (-50)
    does anyone know what that means, or what i can do to export it. i have made movies in the past, and they were about 1:30 to 2 minutes long before, and now suddenly it won't let me export it. i have music on it, and the movie is about 4:30 long. it has video and fast forward and slow motion and rewind. but that shouldn't be a problem because movies are not exactly the shortest things. if anyone knows about this or knows how to fix it, could you please tell me because it is so annoying watching that sign come up every time i try to export it. so thank you for your time.

  • HT3702 Why does it read my apple ID has been disabled when I try to download

    When I try to download an album from the iTunes store, I get a message that my apple ID has been disabled. I have a balance on my account,so I'm not sure whats going on.

    Depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works on it.

  • Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

    firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    When searching by specific person's name in Finder, a specific .web archive file saved from a Safari browsing session appears. Why is this? Was the person's name entered into the browsing session? Was the .web archive file sent to the person?

  • HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id?  i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly.  hmmm.

    we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household.  we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords.  recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me.  also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad.  when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app.  how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)?  please help.

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
