Getting rid of iWeb ghost site

Hi
I posted a little while ago about how my iWeb site deleted itself - as in, on the actual program, all the files relting to my site just went poof.
Well, this was after I published it, so it is actually online - just I can't make any edits or anything. It's like a ghost site.
Anyway, now I've installed wordpress to that same domain, so how do I get rid of my iWeb site? It's so strange; on Wordpress, when I click 'view site', my old iWeb site comes up, yet when I view the default 'hello world' post from Wordpress, the default empty Wordpress blog comes up.
I just want it to be Wordpress now. Had enough of iWeb. Want it to disappear so that when you type in my URL, you just see the Wordpress site.

Entering your domain name in the browser opens the index.html file that's present in the root folder on the server.
Use an FTP application, or your hosts file manager, to delete the iWeb site folder and the external index.html file.

How do i get rid of the word 'site' in the my website address

Hello,
My website is www.giftedconsultants.com, done in iweb, hosted by little oak. After I publish and then go to the site, each page comes us like this-www.giftedconsultants.com/site/Home.html. My question is how do I get rid of the word 'site'? When I try to leave it blank in iweb, it forces me to put something in that box. Help!
Thanks,

How to get rid of a ghost button?

Hello,
I'm using JDeveloper 11g for developing ADF Applications. During my work I encountered a very annyoing problem. In one of my jspx sites I added a button for testing reasons. After deleting it and redeploying the application on the internal wls it is still there. Whatever I do cleaning the build, deleting all the classes directories in the project directory, restarting Jdeveloper, rebuilding and redeploying the project, deleting the project files in the directories of the internal wls, the button still remains in the jspx. For some strange reason JDeveloper is not updating the jspx, where the button is placed, when I'm redeploying my project.
The last time I have been facing this situation, I had to reinstalled JDeveloper to get rid of a component which was not in my project any longer. However this is not an acceptable solution.
Does anybody know which caches I have to clear, to get rid of my "ghost" button!
Thank you very much for your replies!

Hello Frank,
Thank you for your reply. The problem is not occouring on a exertnal WLS but on my local JDeveloper internal WLS. I alreay used build clear all option and recompiled the project. However these measures were not successful. So I'm pretty sure that my internal wls cached the file! But I do not know how to clear the cache. Can you give me a hint how to do this.

How to get rid of an unwanted site that is malicious

Want to get rid of a malicious web site.

Apparently you have the "funmoods Toolbar" on your system.
The first step is to remove it using the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features > funmoods Toolbar > Remove.
The next step is to restart Firefox and clear it from wherever it has embedded itself. This may take several steps. Some people get frustrated with the details and use the Reset feature. Since you can lose some settings that way, you might want to try the step-by-step approach first.
(1) Remove or at least disable all related add-ons. These generally can be found here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
If it isn't obvious which extension is responsible, disable all the ones that are not essential to your use of Firefox. Then restart the browser using one of the restart links.
(2) Reset your home page if that has been switched. You can choose a new home page here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
(3) Reset your searches back to the default (Google). The simplest way to do this is using the SearchReset extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
(4) If you are getting Funmoods in a new tab, you can reset that. Here's how, a quick detour into the plumbing:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
browser.newtab.url = about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Solved? If not, please describe the remaining problem areas.
The Reset feature duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
Hope this helps.
Edit: Here's the funmoods FAQ with a video on the uninstall part: http://www.funmoods.com/english/faq#a6

How can I get rid of a 'ghost' Apple ID?

Hi.
Hoping for a little help here...
I'm trying to set up an iCloud account from my iPhone 4 (running iOS 7.1.2). Problem is, when I try to do this I keep getting prompts to sign in to iCloud using an Apple ID I didn't know I had. The username is an old e-mail address and I have no idea what the password is. I've tried to reset the password using both the e-mail notification route, and the security questions - in both cases I get the message that the Apple ID doesn't exist. I've also tried 'Find my Apple ID' on the Apple site - same result - no such Apple ID.
This is annoying to say the least. I can't access iCloud because my phone seems to default to an Apple ID that doesn't exist, and for which I can't change the password or delete it.
Any suggestions?
Incidentally, I have an Apple ID for iTunes and App Store that works perfectly well - ideally I would've liked to use this ID for iCloud too, but, well... see above...

I've tried to correct this problem on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. They are all stuck using an old email address. I don't have access to the email anymore and I can't verify the account.
Don't verify the account.
I am also not able to delete the iCloud account because it wants me to put the password in for the old "unavailable" iCloud account name.
It is the same account, just a different name.
Use your new password.

Can anyone help me to get rid of a "hanging" site/window that I inadvertently clicked and that I now can't escape?

When I try either to close this "hanging" site/window or to return to the previous page/site, a second, pop-up window appears and asks whether I'm sure that I "want to navigate away from this page"; however, no yes-or-no option/buttons are visible (maybe they're at the ottom of the pop-up, but the pop-up's bottom margin extends below the bottom of mny screen, and I can't scroll down to it). Also, the hanging window has a "jump" tab (and that word also has been inserted in front of the "Mozilla Firefox (Private Browsing)" banner at the top of my screen. Last, toward the upper right of the window is a lozenge/button reading Install Missing Plugins" (an injunction that I ignored).

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

How to get rid of a ghost installation on my E71

Everytime on starting up the phone I get a message that Installation from the memorycard cannot be completed, go to the install manager. The install manager shows nothing that is incomplete or to be installed. I can not find anything in the files on the phone or the memorycard?
Who could help me out?

To remove theme you can
1- go to app manager
2-scroll through the list to the theme you want removed
3- options-> remove
if the theme you want removed does not appear on the list, you have 2 options.
first option:
1- locate the original installer file on your computer.
2- install the theme again " when prompted that the theme exists, do you want to install again" press yes.
3- re-check the app manager again, as reinstallation usually make it appear.
4- follow the steps above to remove it.
if it failed to appear again, them option two is:
1- Connect your phone to the PC with ”Data Transfer” mode or insert your memory card into your card reader.
2- Open the root folder of your memory card and you should be able to find a folder called ”PRIVATE”. If not make sure to enable ”Show hidden files” in the folder options on your PC.
3- Now you must find the folder with the name “10207114″.
4- If you want to delete all the themes installed in the memory card, delete the content inside the “Import” folder.
5- To delete only one theme, you have to open the “*.skn”-file with notepad and then you will see the name of the theme inside the file. This folder can now be deleted.
Please remember not to delete the “Import” or “Private” folder

Can't get rid of 'ghost' app.

I had a free App for my iPhone, but it seems to have been removed from the AppStore. No problem, I didn't use it anyway, but every time there are updates available for some of the other apps, this one is in the list and because it cannot update, the whole update process stops so I have to update each app individually, EVERY time. From the update list I cannot delete this app and frustratingly, it is NOT listed in the normal list of apps, so it's stuck there, I don't want it, just need to get rid of it entirely, but how can I do this?
The App itself doesn't exist in the Applications folder, but iTunes somehow still obviously thinks it has it somewhere. Where does iTunes keep its list of Apps? If I could find the pref/plist I could simply edit it out, but where is this info?
Anyone know, or any other way to get rid of this 'ghost' App?

No, not there either, sort of.
I've now remembered that it used to be called a different name and it WAS still there under that old name. I had forgotten this change of name and so didn't see it there, confused by the fact that it always tried to update with the new name.
So I just found it there in its old name and deleted it. I now suspect that it will not try to update the next time there are other updates, but I won't know for sure till then.
Of course if I only had a couple of Apps it would have been easy to see:-)

How do I get rid of empty MobileMe albums that Aperture 3.4.5 won't let me delete?

I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 in OS X 10.8.4. I dumped my MobileMe Galleries when I switched to iCloud last year. But I just noticed that Aperture still shows icons for MobileMe albums in my Projects list, even though they are empty and aren't linked to any web account (they don't appear in the "Preferences: Web: Accounts" list). When I select one of them and choose "File: Delete MobileMe album," the album's web broadcast icon changes to a warning sign. But there's no explanation of what the warning means. AND the album remains in the Projects list. How can I get rid of these ghosts?

Posting Your iWeb 08 site to IPOWER for Test, how I did it

Hi,
I wanted to update (completely re-do) our old marching band web site. I used iWeb for the first time for this, and created a complete site. As a test I used the MobileMe trial, everything worked well.*
Next I wanted to test the iWeb site within the old site's host, *without deleting the old site*.
The old site is on IPOWER; I could not find specific instructions for uploading the iWeb files to the IPOWER domain folder, but their live chat pointed me to the Fetch site and then a second live chat gave me the Fetch field settings.
The old site name is www.wmbpa.org.
• In iWeb, I selected the site at title level and saved; then I published it to a new folder on my desktop (not within Sites), which I named with the domain root name (in this case, "wmbpa")
• Opened Fetch and in New Connection filled in the fields per instructions from IPOWER live chat.
• After connection, I created a "wmbpa" folder INSIDE the public_html folder.
• I selected that nested folder, and in the blank fetch window "put" the index file and site folder, which had been inside the folder I created on my desktop.
• Once transfer was complete (14 minutes for about 87 MB), I was able to view the site in Safari by adding the nested folder's name to the url:
http://www.wmbpa.org/wmbpa
• When ready to get rid of the old site, I can delete all of the old files, and move the iWeb files up one level, to directly inside the public_html folder.
Hope this helps some folks.

I meant "Back to album" in the previous post; and it does not work in Safari, but it does work in Firefox. (bug?)
Anyway, the site is live now.
http://www.wmbpa.org/Welcome.html
IPOWER uses the old "public_html" root hierarchy. I created a "directory" (folder) under /public_html and I "moved" the entire old site into that folder (could also have used ftp, but no drag-and-drop).
Then (after re-publishing the iWeb site to a desktop folder) I uploaded just the *contents of the inside folder* to the server inside /public_html:
(desktopfolderImade)/index.html + (iWebsitenamefolder)/(all contents of inside folder: Welcome.html, Welcome_files, etc.)
I uploaded that way, thanks to the many posts and repeated instructions about shortening the url so the site name doesn't appear twice, mostly from the iwebformusicians guy, thank you!!
