Yahoo keeps asking me to make it my webpage. I don't want to. It also wants to save my passwords. I want this to stop as well. HOW?

What details? It simple, I don't want ANY webpage asking to save my passwords and I don't want ANY webpage constantly asking me to make it my home webpage.

You have probably inadvertantly installed some sort of helper or toolbar. You need to find out what was added and remove it. You may need to identify and remove the software using Windows XP Control Panel. If you are lucky it may be an extension or plugin that Firefox is able to list under
* '''Tools -> Add-ons ''' <br/>(keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A)
** or Firefox Button -> Add-ons
* See also [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

When trying to rent a movie from Apple TV, I'm asked to verify my payment method. I don't have a credit card but I do have over $100 dollars in iTunes store credit. How do I get passed this in order to be able to rent movies again?

Yes, there is tax.

I can't understand apple teminology - what is the difference between a keychain and a password - why does my mac keep asking me to type in the keychain - I don't know what it is or when it was created!!!

I can;t understand the apple terminology - what is a keychain and how is it different to password? When I set a new password it keeps asking me for the login keychain. None of my passwords work for it and I don't know when it would have been created.

A "keychain" is a secure database in which passwords are stored in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized discovery of your passwords. Think of it like a bank safe deposit box in which you can safely store your passwords.
If you have a problem with your keychain then perhaps you have not changed the passwords correctly or need to repair your keychain. You might try:
Assuming that you are using a recent build of OS X, go to /Applications/Utilities and launch the app called Keychain Access. Go to the Window pulldown menu and select "Keychain First Aid". Enter your password, set the radio button to "Repair", and click "Start".

I had this problem when I had Automatic Downloads enabled in iTunes Preferences/Store. Do you happen to have that Preference enabled.

Folder icons keep reappearing whenever I make a new bookmark. closing window and opening new one eliminates them again. is there a fix for this?

I asked this question months ago but have received no replies. I ran the original de-iconizer but as soon as I select "Bookmark this page" all the folder icons reappear. I can close the window and open a new one to get a de-iconized browser window but am looking for a fix for this.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Mail keeps asking to rebuild my mail boxes, but they don't rebuild and so it won't work

when I open mail, I just get a dialogue box giving me the options of quiting or rebuilding the mailboxes. I have tried both options mltiple times, rebooted, an none of that works.

You probably have a corruption in your Mail. Are you using Apple's iCloud mail or some other? Whatever it is, could you go to the web via your browser and check that everything is ok with your mail on the web. If it is, you will need to delete all your mail folders and start afresh. What OS version are you on?
I had to laugh about the Spelling and Grammar part too ...

It keeps asking me to sign into icloud everytime i go into my music. it also says my account has been disabled but it hasnt, it keeps asking me to sign into icloud everytime i go into my music. it also says my account has been disabled but it hasnt

i always have to sign into icloud and they always say my account has been disabled so i cant download anything!

You might want to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in. For iCloud, try deleting the account and signing back in. To do this, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (unless already ther) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in. (Your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.)

Hi long time ago a friend of me creat apple ID for me cus i didn't know how to creat it so no i put sime money in my account and i wanna buy application but they keep ask me about just security question and i don't know any of them when i ask him he said

Hi

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I am using the last mac os. safari keeps giving me gibberish fonts on random webpages, but using other browsers and other OSs I DO NOT get the gibberish. this issue was solved by Bee who directed the user to remove duplicate fonts... where's the fix?

On the same OS, I also use Firefox but it does not happen with firefox. Is there a fix ???

Have you run Font Book to check for font conflicts?

I cannot get the verification email to arrive in my inboxes and when I choose the security question options it tells me my birthdate is incorrect and I know it it not Help trying to reset my iPad to factory settings and keeps asking for a password I can't

I am trying to put my ipad back to factory settings and it keeps asking for my original Id which is the reason I am needing to reset it. When I try to do this via password prompts it asks for my date of birth which I enter correctly and it tells me it is incorrect and then trying the email route this does not send any emails to the registered accounts I set up originally - help!!

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

I want to take my apple tv from my home in Canada and us it at the Cabin in the States, but can't seem to get it to set up in the states? It just keeps asking for time and date over and over.

We just bought apple tv for our home in Canada, we also want to use it at our Cabin in Montana. We have internet and can get netflix etc on the Macbook, but don't seem to be able to hook up the Apple TV, it just keeps asking for the Time and Date over and over. Anyone know what we are doing wrong?

Problem lies with IOS 6.0
Restore back to IOS 5.1.1 and set the Location to US you will be ok.

I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information.

I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...

You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.
