  • Can not get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up, how can i get rid of it for 3rd gerneration ipad?

    how can I get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up on my new 3rd generation ipad?

    A [http://www.google.com/search?q=Brookwood+Internist+Birmingham&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] shows the website, but it still doesn't load - it shows the Go-Daddy '''Want to buy this domain?''' page.
    Using a DNS Lookup for that domain - http://68.178.232.100/ doesn't load that web site either. It shows '''This site is not currently available.'''
    Might be a server problem where that website is hosted, a DNS problem, or an expired domain name ''(but when that happens the message is usually '''expired registration''')''.
    Call your doctors office Monday morning and tell them that their website won't load. It's something that their webmaster needs to look into, along with their web hosting service ''(which I guess is Go-Daddy)''.

  • How can you get rid of icons in menu bar?

    I recently took my MacBook to the local store to have it cleared and restored back to factory settings. I have the OS X Mountain Lion program installed. I set up two accounts (Admin account and second one to use). When I turned my computer off and back on again, I've noticed a Guest account. When I went into my System Preferences to get rid of it, I've noticed that it's greyed out (so I can't delete it). Another issue I'm having is a symbol I'm seeing up top in my menu bar (<--->. Does anyone know what this means and how I can go about getting rid of it?

    In the area where it allows you to add or delete   the delete symbol is greyed (shaded) out where I don't have that option to delete the "guest" account. And the ethernet symbol I'm seeing in the right hand corner of my screen is still there after deleting it in the System Preference/Network section.

  • Babylon window displays every time i start my computer it says strings.dat is missing or corrupted how can you get rid of this?

    When i start my computer a window appears from Babylon and the message in the window is strings.dat is missing or corrupted.
    it has a button to push that says ok but when clicked on with curser nothing happens i uninstalled all babylon down loads and this was left behind would just like to get this out of my computer.
    can someone please help.

    pretty much exactly what i just figured out how to do it ealrier today! its a bug*er!
    i have posted a help request on a tech forum with logs etc incase there is any deeper infection, and will post any decent answer here. ok?
    basics for ridding of the actual babylon searchbar is like this...
    loading firefox, noticed that my google search bar wasnt google anymore and had ababylon icon instead!
    ASLO the browser displayed a FAKE GOOGLE search page!
    so i opened firefox, typed "about:config" in url bar and then you look just underneath the url bar, and you'll see another search bar.
    type babylon into it. right click on all of the results, and click reset.
    thats it now disabled totally for now.
    next go to tools>addons and look down the list and click uninstall babylon...
    bingo.
    but its not over yet! .....
    next go to start> search and type "babylon" (without the quotes) and see what comes up, mainly in programme files\mozzilla\search plugins
    and in the macromedia folder. if you get a "cannot delete.." notice, then that just means you havnt closed firefox (wich is odd coz you've apparently uninstalled the bug*er), so close firefox, then delete. you should now get rid of them all.
    it DOSNT show up on add/remove programmes, and it didnt show up on uninstall in advanced system care, though you may try the other uninstall button to the right , but you'll need to type in the "pathways" ( eg C:\my computer\programme files/etc).
    i'm still not convinced that this is the end of it though.
    from other forums i have noticed folk contacting AND phoning babylon and basaically being either abused or told they wont help.
    it seems to be invisible to AVG (i have the premium one too!) though around the time i installed the xvid codecs i did get an avg notice warning of an infection found in my t-mobile modem (dongle) but it seemed to actually be the tmobile liveupdat.exe, so i left it as i am sure i would get even worse problems if a effed around with it. (ie no connection, (eventually)
    this is th link to the posting i made on techguy
    please dont post willy nilly babylon posting on it so the volunteers dont get pist off, as that wont help if there are really deeper problems to solve. this is the link to it [[have i cleaned babylon hijack infection properly?|here it is]]

  • How can you get rid of the stripe on the homescreen created in ios 7?

    I found this question some months ago, but no one had a method to resolve it.
    I wanted to remove the solid stripe across the bottom of my ipad 4 homescreen.  I think it's been called an app park, a shelf, and an applications easy access.  Whatever it is, I really hate it. I like a solid black screen.  There was a transparency to the old ios---I have on my iphone because I didn't update it to 7 when I found out it did this.  This one is solid and grey! Really ugly.  Is there any way to get rid of it, make it transparent, or  at least minimize it? 

    Hi again. Well, it isn't death-defying or anything. And it isn't only because I CAN'T customize it and that burns me.    It wastes my desktop space because I don't use it.  When you are visually impaired---real estate on the desktop is pretty important.  I usually have a black screen to see the icons better, but if I have a picture---the bottom is chopped off with this ugly gray stripe.  The old 6.0.3 had the shelf, but it was transparent.  It didn't bother me.  This one does.  That simple.  I thought I saw instructions to at least change the color or something somewhere, but that was when it was new, and I can't find that again anywhere online.  I guess everyone else got on board (moo), and I'm the only one left that still hates it.
    I know these things are supposed to be updates, but I think Apple missed the boat on this one and screwed up a good thing.  Maybe they fixed it in 7.4? (wishful) Anyway, I'm not even offered that IOS.  Mine is still asking me to update to 7.1.  I guess you have to update in order?  I'm working in 7.0.4; that's the IOS that came with the unit in December.

  • 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 a virus

    I have a virus and it won't allow me to use mouse, keyboard or wifi

    Then your system is probably fine. First restart the computer and do a PRAM and SMC reset, do each reset 2-3 times. Instructions are at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If those do not help then your keyboard and mouse may have bluetooth issues. You can use Apple's
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    Finally after you have it all straightened out I would recommend you install a Popup Blocker, if you use Safari then:
    Safari - Preferences - Extensions - Add Extensions - Add Popup Blocker.

  • How can I get rid of the virus transmitted through Skype?

    I recently clicked on a bitly virus link, transmitted through my Skype contact. I already ran two antivir programes, but still think that my MacBook Air, doesn`t
    run smootly since then. Internet is way slower as normally and the fan suddenly got so loud. Does someone has the same problem and maybe some tips,
    what I can do?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best,
    Yulya

    There are currently no know viruses (last I checked) that affect MacOS. There are some trojans. If you've run anti-virus programs and they don't show anything then your problem is something else.
    The most recommended (on these forums, anyway) Mac antivirus program is ClamXav. Have you used it?

  • How can I get rid of hidden photos in my iPad?

    Yes, I've seen this question from others and all of its answers: just connect the iPad to your computer, go to iTunes, go to the tab Photos etc.
    I have 4.5 Gb (300 photos) on my iPad that I can not find anywhere.
    I understand they are synced from somewhere on my computer, but I don't know from where since I can not see the photos on my iPad.
    In iTunes
    - I can select or deselect 'Sync Photos' and then click on 'Sync' in the bottom right corner of my screen without any result.
    - I can sync to some empty folder I created for the occasion without any result.
    - I can choose an empty album and sync to it without any result.
    If I select sync with 'All photo's, albums, events and faces' I can see (at the bottom of the page on the bar showing what amount of space is used by what on my iPad)  the amount of space Photos use on my iPad increase. If I choose 'Selected albums' the amount of space decreases back to the original 4,5 Gb, although there are NO albums and NO events selected in the list below. One should expect that syncing with an empty folder would create an 'empty' result - it does not.
    So the solutions given in the various posts on this subject don't seem to work for me.
    (and I am rather disappointed in Apple because I love their products for their ease of use…)
    Anyone out there who understands the description of my problem AND has a solution?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Jacques

    When you say that you can't find them anywhere, I assume that you mean that you can't find them on the iPad even though the storage figure says that the photos are there.
    You can try this. I don't know if this will work for you but this was recently discovered as solution for phantom photos. This was copied from a post started by gail from maine
    Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
    Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to last September when iOS 8 came out, and then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Although at the Album level it will still say "0" if you tap on the Album, you will be greeted by all of the "Recently Deleted" photos that have surpassed the 30 day limit. Mine went back to when I installed iOS 8.
    She found this in a post where txforever  was the person that discovered how to do this.
    More photos in settings than photos app shows

  • TS4118 How do you get rid of duplicate calendar events on iPad?

    I just synced my iPad with my MacBook (which I do all the time) but this time, it resulted  in duplicating all my iPad calendar events (events do not appear as duplicates on my MacBook).  This happened immediately after I enabled iCloud syncing of my calendar.  I have now disabled Icloud syncing and I just synced my iPad with my MacBook again.  The events are still appearing in duplicate on my iPad.

    iTunes settings for iPad and iPhone are independent.  If your iPhone doesn't have duplicate entries, check your settings when plugged into iTunes, then use the same settings for your iPad.  But, it really sounds as if you've simply enabled calendar syncing directly from your Mac when it's plugged into iTunes.  This will then update your iPad's calendar with whatever's in your Desktop calendar when you plug it in to iTunes.  Uncheck this setting in iTunes when you next have your iPad plugged in to sync, and the duplicates should disappear, leaving only those events pulled down from MobileMe.  The plug in sync option is for people who don't use MobileMe.

  • How can I get rid of 14 e-mails that say "This message has no content."

    How can I get rid of 14 emails on my iPad Touch that say, "This message has no content."  Since I can't open them, neither can I delete them.

    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you delete them if you access them on another device?

  • A virus called "flash player pro" has entered my iPad.  I cannot access Yahoo, iTunes. Or Facebook.  How do I get rid of the virus?

    A virus called "flash player pro" has entered my iPad.  I cannot access Facebook, Yahoo, or iTunes.  How do I get rid of this virus?

    Your iPad does not have a virus unless it is jailbroken. Close all apps nd reset your iPad. Clear Safari as well.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Rented movies won't delete; how can I get rid of them?

    They have been on my iPad longer than 30 days, and I can no longer access them, but they are eating up memory and I can't download anything new. Can't find the files on my computer to erase the files there. I am at a loss. How can i get rid of the movies on my iPad?

    Try tapping Videos, swiping your finger across the movie and then tapping delete.
    If you can't delete the movie that way, try checking Manually managing music and videos from the iPad Summary tab in iTunes, then click the triangle to the left of the iPad under Devices in iTunes. Then delete the movie from the iPad using iTunes by clicking Movies under the iPad and right-cicking the movie and choosing delete.
