Wanted Web site use 5 meg hard drive storage

Howdy,

Sunday, my wife was visiting a Web site that she often used, however, this time she got a box that says the desired Web site to use 5 meg storage on his cell phone. She and I selected do not allow again and again, because he would not accept that click.  Also, she was prevented to leave Safari, and none of these options menu bar would not work.

I was finally able to use force quit to kill Safari, permissions drive rebuilt and restarted his macbook pro.  Alas, when we opened Safari it would just come back to this Web site, and unfortunately, the only way that she apparently managed to get out was to click on the "Allow" button

I'm afraid now that she can have some sort of malware on his cell phone.

Has anyone seen this before or know how trouble shoot his computer to look for what any kinky?

Thank you

DN

Hi danuke,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

From your post, I understand that when your wife has visited a particular Web site, a pop-up appeared that asked wanting to use 5 MB of storage on the Mac.  I'm not familiar with a system of pop up like that, so that nothing was installed, I recommend that search you your computer for any adware.  First, perform the steps in the Apple Support article, linked below:

Stop advertising and pop-up advertising windows in Safari

If you get other odd pop ups, or just to be on the safe side, you can also download and run a scanner/removal tool to adware like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

See you soon.

  • How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

    Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
    Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
    This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

    How can I do this?
    I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Jan

    I doubt that this is possible
    Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
    Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

    Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

    Hello

    I bought the HP ENVY 15-as032nr with only 512 GB SSD laptop. I want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

    Yes, you have the 512 m2 NVME PCI - e (lucky) drive gig and that goes into a slot and then there is also a slot open for a standard hard disk 2.5 thumbs or SATA SSD. See pages 30-33 of the manual here:

    Repair manuals

    It is likely that your laptop does not contain the HDD mounting kit and cable as shown on page 30 and 31 and this note is in the Manual:

    The disk spare parts kit hard does not include the rubber hard drive support or cable hard drive. The hard disk rubber support is available using the spare part number 857797-001. The hard drive cable is available by using the spare part number 857806-001

    An extra $ 66 for the housing and the cable seems a bit strong, but I couldn't find their sale anywhere other than HP Store.

  • How to use an external hard drive to share files with other computers

    I have a HP Personal Media Drive that is currently used to share files with another computer. However, it is very old and I want to continue the sharing of files. Can I use an external hard drive? and if yes, how I have set up?

    I have an external hard drive, Toshiba-1 t. It is connected with a USB cable. My computer has wireless access, and the other computer does not work. The internet allows us to connect.

    Suppose that your external drive to your is connected to PC 1. When you open Windows Explorer on PC1 then this disk will appear as if it was a local, integrated drive. To make it accessible to PC 2, you need to "share". When you type this phrase in a Google search box then you will get many excellent recipes step by step on how to do this:

  • Cannot access a Web site using Java Script

    Cannot access a Web site using Java Script. I'm not sure what it blocks I use Win 7, Avast free, AntimalwareBytes.
    I get a pop up window with
    Name: mcs
    Location: http://myspeedtest02.windstream.net  
    say "application blocked by security settings, blocking the untrusted application.
    I don't know what it blocks, but suspect it is related to the security of Windows.
    I think that the Java Applet is blocked, but I would like to run this test of speed from my ISP.  I tried to access the website of Google Chrome and IE, with the same result. Nobody knows what this block and how to unlock it?

    This is actually not JavaScript, it's Java.  Despite the name, they are really very very different.

    Java itself can be dangerous, especially if it is not a trusted application.  It is my sincere recommendation that you do not continue.

    If you want anyway, you can go into your control panel, open the Java settings and set it to allow untrusted applications.

  • How to prevent the FF loading all Web sites using the HTTPS protocol

    FF is trying to load initially all Web sites using the HTTPS protocol, including of mozilla.org. Then I get the error of no reliable connection of course. Mozilla .org is the "invalid security certificate" and "the issuer of the certificate is unknown." I tried to delete the file cert8.db as suggested elsewhere but that did not help. If there is an option for this somewhere, I can't find it. I have the latest version of FF and Win7 running. Thanks for the help.

    There must be some sites that are still using a secure connection, as http://www.amazon.com/. If even a link to Amazon is redirected, you can check if you have an extension like HTTPS Everywhere.

    For Mozilla sites, Yes, you establish a secure connection.

    But you shouldn't get certificate errors! When you get this for virtually all secure sites, the problem is usually as follows:

    (1) error of date, time, or time zone who throw checks validity of the certificates of your system. Sometimes allowing to use a timesource on the internet, the computers can introduce this problem.

    (2) not be set up to work with your security software that intercepts and filter secure connections from Firefox. Products with this feature include Avast, BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky; AVG has a shield search function which can cause this error on search sites.

    (3) malicious software on your system for the interception of secure connections.

    So... who is?

    If you have any of these specific security products, which would be the first thing to check. We might be able to help with specific next steps based on what you have if you tell us.

    Alternatively, you can examine the certificate to which Firefox is opposed to see if the issuer information pointing to the culprit. Take for example my test page:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    You should see a section "I understand the risks" in the page. If you expand this section, you will find a button Add Exception. You don't need to complete the process of adding an exception (I suggest not adding one until we know that it is not a problem of malware), but you can use the dialog box to display the information that makes Firefox suspicious.

    Click Add an Exception, and then view. If the view is not enabled, try first the button get certificate. Then in the certificate Viewer, refer to the section "issued by". What do you find here, or under the hierarchy of certificates? I have attached a screenshot for comparison of screen.

  • Browser Konqueror for Linux has a CPU limitation function useful for Web sites using Flash content. You can add such a feature in Firefox?

    I recently discovered that browser Konqueror for Linux can help the user to limit the CPU usage while visiting a Web site using flash technology by changing the settings in the Flash section and by adjusting the slider settings VERY HIGH to HIGH and AVERAGE and so on. It actually works and it doesn't have a direct impact on the overall performance for flash player, but it can lead to conflicts if other such extensions that add blocker or click-to-flash are also enabled.

    Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser or just as a useful addon or extension option section.

    I love the sound of that. I found an add on which has Visual for the CPU usage as well as can be useful

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • Impossible to navigate the hyperlink in the upper part of a Web site using Firefox

    I can't navigate the hyperlink at the top of a Web site using Firefox. For example, in the site Web of Firefox, the cursor does not change 'arrow' to 'hand' when I point to 'Sign Out' or 'Inbox '. But it's ok for the rest of the site (i.e. the top right).

    However, if I use Internet Explorer, I havn't met the same problem. Help please advise.

    This problem is caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.
