The browser safari in my macbook pro keeps popping up ads in new tabs saying my mac is infected with the virus and requires immediate cleaning. Is there really a virus problem? The ads are recurring.

• I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

  Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page

  http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

  Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

  Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

  A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

  Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

  Hello

  If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

  In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

  and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

  1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

  If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

  • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
  • Menu

    

    > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

  Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

  Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

• MacBook pro keeps freezing

  My macbook pro (early 2015) has been working great until about a week ago. It started freezing and now it done very often. IM do not receive a beachball, the mouse pointer remains the same. Im having to restart it manually each time by holding down the power button. This problem began only after I have updated to the version OS X EL capitan 10.11.4. 80 GB of free space so I don't think it's a problem.

  All solutions?

  Thank you

  I had this problem too, like many other people (there is several messages and discussions already). Seems to happen more often with Mac in 2015.

  There is nothing to do. I tried a clean install of El Capitan with full SSD erased and 10.11.4 combo update, it did not help; my macbook pro 13 2015 keeps freezing with Safari.

  It is related to Safari or a framework/driver related to the browser.

  Apple has to fix. Just use Firefox or Chrome.

• My macbook pro keeps closing

  Data sheet:

  -Version Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G 63)

  -Processor: intel core i7 at 2.5 GHz

  -memory: 8 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

  -15-inch end 2011

  Please help, my macbook pro keeps closing randomly for a few weeks before. I can't identify what the problem is and I ran diagnostics disk enhancer, etc. anything. I don't understand what is happening. It occurs at random - when opening a site randomly, using a word document, while watching a video, running a double Finder program, etc. There is a common denominator I can say. It is the age of the laptop, or is this a common problem with this OS? Should I consider in Apple store or start saving for a new macbook?

  Would appreciate any suggestions/advice/help. Thank you!

  I have Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) of safari on my macbook pro and I want to update. How to make to make it so my computer displays no update available?

  Safari is a part of Mac OS X, and the only way to obtain a more recent version is upgraded to El Capitan.

  Lion and Mountain Lion can be bought at the Apple Store but 10.11.2 is a free update.

• I was using iDownloaders browser and a message came your device is infected with a virus. I removed the app from my mini iPad 2 but now I feel crashes especially among angry birds. I want to restore, but I fear that the virus will reinstall.

  I used the iDownloaders app browser, (it is a video download application I use for a few years with no problems), when a message came "your machine is infected with a virus please leave the app and contact Apple." I removed the app from my mini iPad 2, but now I meet including crashes in Angry Birds Seasons and Rio. I want to restore the iPad, but I fear that the virus will reinstall themselves as well. Apple did not contact because I never heard of someone who got a virus using iOS. I took it slightly think to delete the iDownloader app would solve the problem. Im running version 9.2 on a retina mini iPad 2. Maybe someone has an answer on what I can try before you contact Apple. I appreciate any suggestions thanks JohnG

  Unless your iPad is jailbroken, it is not infected.  This notice is a well known scam to a fraudulent web site.  You can restore.

• My macbook is infected with a virus, adware?

  I clicked on the quest for the card, and all of a sudden, a red screen on my browser and a popup indicates that my computer is infected with a virus, adware. I read a few other posts telling us a scam, but I can't click out of this! I am in google chrome and it won't escape and I cannot click outside the second small pop up that tells me call some techniques dumb assistance number!

  It's a scam. Do not click on and links or call the phone numbers. Just ignore it if you can. If this isn't the case, then see this:

  Useful links about Malware problems

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

• MacBook Pro keeps restarting after iPhone updated 9.3.5

  Given that I didn't have at least a 50% load, I connected my iPhone 6 s to my MacBook Pro (10.11.6) updated the phone to v. 9.3.5. The phone updated fine, but now my Mac keeps on rebooting over and over again. The display shows the Apple logo and progress bar, but there are thin horizontal red lines across the entire screen. When the progress bar is full, the gray screen runs for about 10 seconds and then restarts, and it does the same thing again. I have absolutely no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

  Hello robbob116,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that after upgrading your iPhone 6s to iOS 9.3.5 via iTunes on your MacBook Pro, your MacBook Pro now repeatedly restarts. I know how it is important for your MacBook Pro start correctly for you. The first step I would recommend would be to start up your Mac in Mode without failure. The following article explains the use of Safe Mode and the steps that you will need:
