How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer? I need to free up space on my iPad

Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

Sorry but this is only iPhoto support. There is no "all over the computer" forum
To stop the messages in iPhoto open the iPhoto preferences and remove all references to MM. Do the same in the system preferences

Making the UI more pleasing - how can I get rid of the colors in day view?

Hi - My calendars typically have 40 to 50 events per day (I use it for scheduling appointments). All that eye candy colored boxes gets annoying. Is there any way to convert the fully shaded boxes to just be colored outlines? I still need some color to differentiate.
Thanks
Len

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In a word, no. The only means to reduce the 'eye-candy' effect is to use fewer calendars, or modify your existing calendars to that the number of colors used is reduced, effectively using the identical color for several calendars rather than using different colors.

How can I get rid of white bar at top of desktop? MacBook Pro 10.5.8

Hello,
There is a 4" blank (or white) bar at the top RIGHT of my desktop, to the left of the Spotlight magnifier icon. The bar blanks out all of these drop-downs: Open Time Machine Preferences, Detect Displays/Display Preferences, Open Bluetooth Preferences, Volume Bar, Open Network Preferences, inport Source, Battey Charge display/Energy Saver Preferences, Date & Time set pref.
Drives me nuts, to use a technical term! I can't see the time in the bar, can't adjust volume, can't check to see how many others are online in my condo complex. I like to try to go on when the highway isn't jammed up.
Can anyone tell me how to remove that annoying blank white bar. I call it white because it covers the color on my desktop. That's why I don't think it's like a blank cell.
Would appreciate any help and give BIG plaudits to anyone who can HELP!
Thanks for reading this.

Hi Clinton,
I appreciate your suggestion and think I'll take your second suggestion. Been chiding myself for waiting so long to go with my begging bowl to the great Genius bar. Don't know if I'm ready to spring for the latest version, since everything else I need seems okay. You know how it is, it seems so simple: "If I could just get the key word the answer would pop up."
It's really nice to know there is someone there reading these questions! Last time I asked a question I must have clicked on something incorrectly: my Inbox was flooded with replies, none of which even slightly addressed my problem, as you have.
Thanks again and happy Sunday!

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
Thanks,
Cem

How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ?

How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ? I received Elements 6 free with a scanner. It works o.k. on my Windows XP, except whenever I go to Editor workspace, the photo turns completely pink -- no other color. I can use the various tools on the pink, but this is useless, as I don't want a pink photo. Can't even convert it to black & white -- just stays pink. I tried everything I could think of to get a normal color transfer to editor from the organizer, but no luck. Please help.

This is an update to the pink tint problem. The problem mysteriously FIXED ITSELF today, after being stubbornly pink for weeks. I have no idea what happened, as I didn't do anything -- it was somehow already fixed when I started the program. So maybe it will revert again, who knows, but hoping for the best.

Hi arnienelly,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you are getting the HP Rewards pop-up on your computer.
Did you follow the instructions that Ciara_B gave in her post directly above yours? If so, what was the result?
Thank you.

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

Just used her MacBook to unlock my iPhone as I was away from home. So she backuped my phone and restored it to allow the unlock to work. That's all.
I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.
