Steve,
Are you using the Ticketmaster app or a browser on the phone to access your ticket.
The app may 'own' the ticket and there may be a way to reassign it from there. I don't use their app, but there is supposed to be a "Ticket Transfer" option.

The App on my phone works fine, it is when I try to go through the ticketmaster website on my laptop that I can't get anywhere. I have never had this issue before which is why it is strange. I will probably just to do the transfer on my phone tomorrow, but I prefer doing it on my laptop.Originally Posted by markwoll
I have never had this issue before, but rules are always changing, so you never know.
Maybe there's a TicketMaster app for your laptop?
Or maybe to prevent an online ticket scalping market?

I've never had a problem. Most shows I've gone to, I've been able to print out the ticket, and it still appears on the phone. Not all were Ticketmaster though. I have no idea why Steve's won't.
I have tried some of the things people recommended and even wrote Ticketmaster help desk, but nothing has worked. It lets me sign in like normal, but I can't access any of my purchased tickets or even details of my account. Meanwhile, my phone works fine and I can access everything. Very frustrating. Oh well, I transferred the tickets on my phone, so that is taken care of.
^ That is weird. I don't have a laptop, but have no trouble accessing them on the desktop.
I have a new question that maybe some of you can help me with. I was looking at a restaurant web site the other day and accidentally clicked on a pop up add. Ever since then I am getting a pop up box for McFee Anti Virus popping up every couple of minutes in the lower right corner of my laptop screen that says “Critical Virus Alert Your PC Is At Risk”. It is really really really annoying. I click the X to close it, but a minute or two later it pops up again. Is there a way I can get rid of this?
Have you rebooted, not shut down, you laptop since then? If no, reboot. That may do the trick if it is just a hidden pop up window.
If on restart your browser asks to reopen closed sessions or windows say no.
If you use your browsers with a bunch of tabs preloaded, I would check the tabs to make sure they are only the ones you want.
If things are still strange.
If you click the ^ in the lower right you should see the running system tray applications.
Usually there should be a couple of them. If you hove the mouse pointer over the icon it will pop up the title of the app.
You will probably see a Bluetooth, Safely Remove Hardware, Windows Security, and maybe an Intel or Nvidia display options thing.
Other items may be installed stuff like Dell command center or something like that.
If you see one that does not seem to be 'normal' you may be able to right click on it to bring up an action menu which should include 'exit or quit'.
If nothing looks out of place, there might be something else going on. Most pop up ad things like that try to hijack browser sessions and do not get into the OS, but they do try to reload.

Interesting. I had the same thing happen on my Macbook. I clicked on a bogus "Confirm that You're Not a Robot" thingy when I downloaded something (I think it was a font).
I had to go into my system notifications preferences and block notifications from that site. I don't do Windows, but there's probably something similar (but less user-friendly).

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's a strong possibility you were infected with malware. Which McAfee was unable to stop. No antivirus software is bulletproof. At a minimum you want to avoid logging into sensitive sights, like banking or e-commerce sites. Until you're able to verify it's not malware, and/or the malware has been removed.

All,
Thanks for the help. I was able to delete the pop up.
Steve
I will run my anti-virus program thing (not sure what it is called). Thank you for the heads up.
If your AV software was unable to stop it, it likely won't be able to remove it once it installed itself on your system. Malware can be nasty and persistent. It can often circumvent AV software's attempts to remove it. I would suggest taking the computer in to a repair shop. Or have the Geek Squad, or a similar service pay you a visit.

I was able to stop it from popping up, but I am guessing the Malware could still be there? We have a little one man computer shop in town that I do business with. I may take it to him when I get a chance.
You can also try this. Run the MRT ( Malicious Software Removal Tool ) which comes with windows and is updated at least once a month.
Press on the search bar type mrt.exe and when the search result comes up choose run as administrator.
This will run the program interactively. If you have time I would run a full scan rather than a quick.
It will mess with the performance, but you should be able to keep working.

The periodic Malicious Software Removal Tools are very specific to particular viruses. Specific to highly problematic malware which evades most AV software. It may well alleviate the problem, but I'd still advise not logging into banking or e-commerce sites. Until you know for sure it isn't or is no longer a problem.

Or you can send me your login credentials and I can do it for you.

Oh, crap.
I ran the Malicious Software Insertion Tool by mistake.
Uh, he said "TOOL", heh heh
Yeah, "INSERTION TOOL", heh heh
^^ There really is a malicious software insertion tool. It's called the Tor Browser. Giving access to the Tor Network, aka dark web. Those who don't know where they're going can happen upon a site which triggers a massive malware attack.

Got a question for you all that once again demonstrates how technologically incompetent I am.
I am one of those people who still buy CD’s. I rip them onto my laptop on I-tunes. For portable music, I still have an old iPod Classic. I have over 12,000 songs on the device and it still works great. I use it when I walk, in my car, with headphones. When I add music to my laptop or make playlists I just plug in my old dinosaur iPod and it automatically syncs up and updates my device. Old technology, but everything still works great so why change it?
One thing I have been finding recently is when I travel and get a rental car, new cars no longer come with a phone jack that I can plug my iPod classic into. The cars have USB ports, but I can never get that to work with the old iPod. Recently I got another old piece of equipment, an iPod Touch 6th generation that has been refurbished. My thoughts were that I could use it strictly as a music device to use in cars or with blue tooth headphones. My problem is I cannot figure out how to synchronize my music onto the device. When I plug it into my laptop, the device is recognized, but when I click sync, it goes through about 30 seconds of……..something (not sure what it is doing), but no music shows up on the device. I have checked out YouTube videos and nothing seems to work. My old iPod classic has no problem transferring music and the touch is a much newer device. Any thoughts on this?
For informational purposes, my phone is an android and not an i-phone.
I seem to have one pretty weird problem with one website. If I try to access it from my computer, it adds www 2 times in a row and I can't get rid of that. If I remove one of the www it comes back, as soon as I hit enter, making the website unavailable. I can get access to it with my tablet though.

I can't answer the iPod Touch part of your question, but here is an option for use with your old iPod Classic: A bluetooth to headphone jack adapter. I recently got one that works great. It's inexpensive too. Let me know if you're interested, and I can tell you exactly what I bought. (There are a ton of these out there.)
Another benefit I get is being able to use my Bluetooth earbuds with my home TV that doesn't support Bluetooth natively.
