    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

  • How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

    Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
    Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

  • How can I get my hard drive icon back on the desktop

    I just erased my hard drive on my Intel MacBook getting ready to give it to my daughter. I had the Snow Leopard install disc in the drive and used Disc Utility to erase the drive. I then installed Snow Leopard and everything went smoothly without a hitch.
    Other than -- the icon for the hard drive is not on the desktop! I can open a Finder window and see everything that should be on the drive after an erase and reinstall, but the drive is not there.
    How can I get it back?
    TIA
    I am so sorry! This question has been answered more than once. I searched but didn't find it. When I posted this, however, the list of similar questions that pops up next to the message sent me to a simple fix and now all is well.
    Again, sorry for having cluttered up the board with this question.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get rid of Apple Maps and Put the Google Maps back?

    I wanted to know how to remove the Apple Maps and reinstall the Google Maps. The Apple Maps is a very inferior programme and not worth the space on the. Computer. It can't find anything. It's a complete waste of time.
    So my original question is, how to get rid of it, and put the Google Maps back?

    CHances are google maps are never coming back as part of the bundled OS. Apple and Google seem to have parted ways (possibly has something to do with Google having their apps on other devices from other manufacturers but no one knows for sure)
    Since preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, the most you can do is ignore the icon, shove it back on a back menu page (I have a 4th menu page on my iPad containing nothing but the bundled apps I consider worthless. I just ignore that page and never go there) and then put a shortcut to google maps on your iPad or find a third party map app you like better.

  • How can i get rid of a black speck behind the screen?

    Brand new, quad 2.8 GHZ Intel iMac. Beautiful. But has a black speck in the screen. How on earth would i get rid of this? I'm quite positive it's not on the screen. i've wiped it very firmly w/ the cloth provided. the thing is simply on the other side. Ideas?

    Hi Peter,
    If you can take it back to the Apple store (assuming you bought it from one). I had similar with a 24" iMac last year and they just replaced it there and then no questions, no arguing. They even transferred all my Data to the new machine. It was hassle free and I walked out of the store with a brand new replacement iMac set up like my original machine.
    Don't try doing anything to it yourself if it is brand new, it will void your warranty.

  • How can I get rid of a small "thread" in the lower right corner of my new 27" Cinema Display?

    I recently acquired a new 27" Cinema display.  Yesterday I noticed a small thread like piece of debris under the glass on the lower right side of the display.  Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of it?  Take it to the Apple Store?  Return it for a replacement (which might have the same issue).

  • How can I get rid of a type generated by the Data/Services return type wizard?

    Hi All,
    I have a JSON service that returns an object called "error".  The Data/Services "Configure Return Type" wizard automatically turned this into a class "Error".
    However, this caused over a hundred errors to show up inside the generated classes, "Call to a possibly undefined method Error."  That's because of lines like this:
    throw new Error(propertyName + " is not a data property of entity Agreements"); 
    It's trying to throw a regular "Error" object, but now that there's an "Error" class in the same package, that is taking precedence--and that Error object doesn't have a constructor with a single parameter.  At least, that's what I think is going on.
    I tried to fix it by deleting _ErrorEntityMetadata.as, _Super_Error.as, and Error.as from the valueObjects package.  I then opened the FML file and deleted the definition for the entity "Error" and every reference to the Error entity (class) in my FML file.
    I then changed my JSON service so that it returns an object called "serviceError" instead of just "error".
    But, whenever I re-run the "Configure Return Type" wizard, it regenerates the Error class, even though I've deleted it from everywhere I can find it.  That breaks my project completely!  How can I end this and get Flash Builder to *stop* generating this type!
    In the "Configure Return Type" wizard I very carefully inspected the type of every bit of data coming back to make sure none of them show up as type "Error."  And they don't (as expected, since I changed the object's name to serviceError--now the type of that object is ServiceError.

    I think you are facing this known issue https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-29770
    Please vote it.
    Thanks for the link--I just voted for it.
    To avoid this, in the last page of "Configure Return Type", edit return type name to something else (You can also edit subnodes's name too in the wizard).
    Actually, that's exactly what I saw doing; I apologize if that wasn't clear in my post.
    I closed and restarted Flash Builder, and once I did that Flash Builder stopped generating the Error class.  My guess is that the FML file, even though I had updated it (by deleting all references to the Error class), was cached in some fashion by Flash Builder, and restarting Flash Builder forced it to reread the FML file?
    Additional point of clarification: my understanding is that the FML file stores all the metadata about the services that Flash Builder has been able to figure out so far, and when you run the Configure Return Type wizard, it will regenerate *every* type in the FML file, even if that type is not mentioned anywhere in the particular return value that you are working with.
    Edited to provide additional thoughts on FML file.

  • HT1920 I was recently asked for account info on an account that used an email address that had been hacked. how can I get rid of this account record or the account itself.

    I was recently asked for a password for an email on the App store. The email was very old and was one that was hacked so I removed it from my email list. Now I have no record of the account, its password or security questions, and obviously I can't receive email on the account. How can I eliminate this account. I may have already divulged ninfo to this address that could get into the hands of a hacker.

    Email size limits are imposed by mail providers, not the operating system.  They usually vary in the 20-25 MB range.
    The limit is for an individual email plus any attachments it may have.  The only way to release that email message is to reduce the size of the attachment if you can do so.  The limitation itself is from your email provider so there isn't anything you can do to change the limit.

  • How can I get rid of those icons in safari and have a listing of bookmarks as well as the according web addresses

    Hi, I just upgraded to Yosemite and have a huge problem.
    There are only icons for the bookmarks, however I need the name and the website address in a list view as I cannot handle over 6,000 bookmarks in an icon window... any suggestions?

    Hi annmeyercom,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I can understand wanting to organize and arrange your Safari bookmarks in a way that is beneficial to you. There may be a couple of different solutions to this. The attached article explains how you can see your bookmarks using the Show or hide the sidebar button as well as enabling the Favorites bar which is similar to previous versions of Safari.

  • How can you get rid of Genius function without losing iTunes 8.0?

    I recently updated iTunes to Version 8.0 with the Genius function, but I have the feeling that this program is taking up space on my hard drive that I don't want to lose. I understand that you can turn off Genius in the Store menu, but it's still on my computer.
    So, how do I eliminate the Genius function altogether from the version of iTunes on my computer? Is it possible? Or will I have to just go back to an older version that doesn't have Genius at all. I want to free up the space on my hard drive that the Genius program is using.
    In a previous thread <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1703834&tstart=15>, a user seemed to ask this question, but it never really was answered.
    Any help from other users would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    AS it says in the thread you referred to you can turn off the genius function so it is not active.
    You do this on the Store menu.
    You can delete iTunes Library Genius.itdb in the iTunes folder. Normally if genius is switched on, it gets recreated, but I guess it may not if Genius is turned off, or at least it would remain small.
    You can't remove genius from iTunes, it is part of the program.

  • How can I get rid of these grey lines in the background of my pages documents?

    I bought an app out of the store that game me new templates to use in pages. I used one of the templates in making invitations for my little cousins birthday party but now there are these grey lines in the background that I cant get to go away. any suggestiions?
    thanks!

    "the store", "these grey lines"? You realise we can't see what you see. Could you describe the problem and the templates better? If you bought the templates from the MAS, which ones are they?
    Perhaps they are just locked objects.
    Can you click on them?

    They may also be master objects:
