    Did you try triple-clicking the home button? That usually turns it off.

  • I upgraded my imac to snow leopard and now every time I click the mouse I get the spinning wheel of death

    One morning a week ago I got the "White Screen Of Death" and my desktop imac wouldn't load so mac support told me I had to erase my history and upload imac again. We went through every senario to get it to work to no avai. I had a snow leopard disc so I uploaded that as well. In the last few days I click on my mouse and I get the "Spinning Ball Of Death" most every time I click. It lasts for about 5 - 20 seconds every time. I am not a "techie" at all. Is there any way to stop this. I am not sure what could be causing this. I erased my browers cache on Safari and that didn't help. I also turned the comp. off then back on and that didn't work either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Step by step how to's? I am not totally ignorant in computer speak but not an expert by any means. Thanks!

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I get rid of text that was made in iMovie while in FCPX

    I imported a video from my imovie and am in the process of adding text in the frames, is there a way to get the old text that was embedded in the imovie, can it be cut or editied out of the frames, I don't see any options that allow you to select it and delete. I just don't want to have to go back and delete it out as I have already made some major improvements on the exsisiting project.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Dude, the FCP-X forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x?view=discussions
    This is the Final Cut Studio forum.  There are no similarities between the two.

  • I just updated to Firefox 3.6.12 and now every time I click anything online a new tab opens. How do I return to normal (clicking a link opens it in current page and tab)?

    I'm used to clicking a link on a news story or any searched link on google and having my current page go there. Now my current page stays the same and any link I click opens in a new tab. This is very annoying. I just want my browser to go there.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/?hl=en] <br />
    Or visit the Google Toolbar forum. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar?hl=en]
    As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
    You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

  • Bing is loading before my Homepage. How can I get rid of Bing?

    Just today Bing began to load when I started FireFox before my homepage. I've looked around for Bing on my computer and can't find it. What did I do today you ask...well I did load two programs...which I have since removed. Still stuck with Bing. I've checked add-ons and extensions, looked for anything new in the programs list on the control panel...
    I'm stuck here folks....Help!....Please.

    Does the same unwanted page appear when you open a new window (Ctrl+n) or click the Home icon or press Alt+Home on the keyboard?
    '''If Yes:'''
    * Double-check that your home page setting has changed. These articles describe the steps for that:
    ** [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    ** [[How to set the home page]]
    * If your home page setting is correct, one of your extensions may be overriding your setting. Open the Add-ons page using either:
    ** Ctrl+Shift+a
    ** "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable, or if obvoiusly bad, remove. Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    '''If No:'''
    If the problem only occurs when using your Firefox shortcut/icon, it could be hacked. Right-click it > Properties > Shortcut tab. The "Target" for 32-bit Windows 7 should be this (no more, no less):
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    If anything else following that, try removing it.

  • Ipad 2 with version 8.1.3;  update to take out bugs etc and now every time I click on an app it asked for my itunes id before I can get it to open;  any help would be appreciated

    I did the update to take out bugs etc;  now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open;  this is a pain;  has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this,  assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • I was trying to set up my email. Now every time I click on a email in a site I get a tab (mailto:cu)

    I get mailto:cu over and over again,it won't stop. Then I have to close down my computer.

    Check the Mailto application in Firefox > Preferences > Applications<br />
    Make sure that it isn't set to the Firefox application because Firefox can't handle the mailto protocol internally and you will get tab opening endlessly.

    I'm guessing that you have malware installed. See [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]

  • Can't get rid of Bing

    I’m running Firefox 3.5.4 with XP Home.
    The Bing Web page pops up whenever I enter just part of a web page name, i.e. “Netflex” gets Bing page with all the different sites with the word “Netflex”. I looked in Add/Remove and the subcategories of Add-ons and do not find an entry for either Bing or Search Bar. I ran a file search for “bing” and found “bing.xml” in Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fkmiryyl.default\fkmiryy\default\search plugins. I moved bing.xml into My Documents but Bing still comes up. How can I get rid of Bing?

    What does "no luck" mean? What specifically did you have difficulty with?
    Having Bing hijack your search engine is actually a very direct symptom of having the InstallMac adware on your machine. InstallMac is a variant of Genieo, so you should be able to solve this problem by carefully and methodically following those removal instructions.

  • I set my home page to my school website, but everytime I open firefox it opens to a conduit search Bing website how can I get rid of that a nd lock in my home p

    I set and want my home page to be my school website, "northbranch.k12.mn.us" I have gone to option and set it as my home page. Everytime I start up the computer and start up firefox, i get a conduit search engine with Bing. How can I get rid of this permanently and have my school website come up as the stratup window?

    hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
    in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

  • I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions shows Google as default search engine, but Bing is what is working. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions still shows Google as default search engine. Search starts as Google but switches to Bing. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    Hey ravenbird1,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.
    Safari 7 (Mavericks): Search the web
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17150
    To set the default search engine, choose Safari > Preferences, then click General.
    If you are having problems with extensions you can uninstall and reinstall the extension.
