    How do I get rid of the 1 next to my settings icon. it is there after I downloaded IOS 8

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    How do I get rid of the passcode screen on my ios7 update on iPhone?

    I'd like to do the same and I've seen this "solution" before, but I do not see Passcode under Settings > General. I see Auto-Lock, but changing those settings doesn't get rid of the Passcode screen either. Did it change with iOS7.1?

  • FILES: how do I get rid of EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?

    I dropped my laptop and damaged the drive. My computer forensic friend salvaged specific files.
    Transfered to a FAT32 drive and then copied to Mac.
    Most of files are fine with the exception of some setings files that showed up as Unix executables. The few original files that I have to compare them to, show "Document" as the file "Kind" and the "open with" shows "none" in Get Info
    When I look at the contents of the files they look fine. How do I get rid of the EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    These are settings files for a set of .wav samples for an AU drum plug-in.

    If you have xcode installed, you might want to find out what the type and creator code for these files should be. Since the files have visited a FAT32 file sytem, you will have lost all resource forks as well as type and creator HFS+ meta data.
    So assuming you do have xcode, create a new AU drum plug-in file then in the terminal:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo newfile</pre>
    Then use:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/SetFile -t '(insert type)' -c '(insert creator)' oldfile</pre>
    If there's a lot of these you might automate the process using the find command.

  • How do I get rid of the SPAM Popup Ad for an External HDD

    A spam popup ad for an external HDD came down with supposed Lenovo system updates.  This ad pops up every few hours and I can figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a check box that says 'don't show again' but I check it and it doesn't work.  I am extreemly disappointed they have invaded my system with an ad that was part of a system update.  I have 15 thinkpad users and it hasn't happened to all of them yet but they'll be screaming at me when it does.

  • How do I get rid of App Store notification for a software update that does not conform to the OS that I am using?

    I am using Snow Leopard and have no wish to upgrade to Lion.  App Store notification indicates that there is an iPhoto 11 update available.  When I try to update, the error message indicates that I need Lion to download the update.  The notification red circle with the one in it sits attached to the App Store icon and will not go away.
    I know that Apple knows that I'm on Snow Leopard, so why bother sending me and update notification that is irrelevant to me.
    Any solutions to getting rid of the red circle on the App Store icon?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sateach

  • How can I get rid of Australis without using Classic Theme Restorer or how can I save vertical space?

    Hi!
    I have a widescreen notebook so limited space on the vertical axis. So
    1) I want to get rid of the tab bar when I have only one window open.
    2) I want to get rid of the title bar which includes no necessary information.
    3) I want to move the adress bar to the menu bar.
    Before Australis, this was easily done. After I did the update I searched very long for solutions. I found only Classic Theme Restorer. It is good, but it often causes my computer to high power consumption which makes the notebook very hot.
    So ho can I get vertical space (see 1 - 3)?
    Best wishes, Dimi

    Hello Dimi,
    # I am not sure if it can be done without the use of extensions, but if you are okay with installing one, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus Tab Mix Plus] gives you the option to hide the tab bar when you only have 1 tab (in addition to many other options). Under the Tab Mix Plus options after installing, the option to hide it will be under Display > Tab Bar. Another one after a quick search is conveniently titled [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide Tab Bar with One Tab].
    # The title bar can be removed by clicking [[Image:New Fx Menu]] followed by Customize. At the bottom of the page that opens should say "Title Bar" (will be beside "Show/hide Toolbars), if you click that the Title bar will disappear and be merged with the Menu Bar.
    # I am not sure if the address bar can be moved anymore, but if you still have your Bookmarks Toolbar, that can be placed beside the menu options to give you more space. Go to the same page as in step 2, then click and drag the bookmarks toolbar onto the same toolbar as the menu bar.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I get rid of BBM Spam?

    My phone is filling up with spam BBmessages - all junk/ unreadable/ foreign characters. It went quiet for a whil
    e but I have had over 500 so far this afternoon alone. I have deleted messenger, but they just appear on my mainscreen.

    Hi Teaboy,
    I don't use social sites and as far as I am aware I have not left my pin (I assume you mean BB ID p/w?) on any sites, apart from Blackberry World.  In fact I have changed my BB ID username (email address) & password.
    It doesn't seem to relate to email accounts though, when I opened one it was 'Received Using: Peer to Peer To: 23AF2249 From: 25D71008, Title: <$RemoveOnDelivery,SuppressSaveInSentItems> BLACKBERRYMESSENGERINVITESTAGE2, <<no text>> then gibberish.
    I have checked a few more and they are all sent to 23AF2249.

  • How can I get rid of "easy inline"-type hyperlinks even after having removed both easy-inline and yontoo?

    I'm using Firefox 18.0.
    I searched the internet for a solution to my problem, and the closest result was Mozilla Support item titled "The latest update to Firefox (14.0.1) has added something called "easy inline" which is very, very annoying. Please, anyone, how do I TURN IT OFF???", from July 18, 2012.
    I followed all recommendations but "random" phrases still become hyperlinks that display "balloon" ads on mouse-over. As for Yontoo, I do recall downloading some software over the summer that brought Yontoo along with it, but I've since uninstalled both. When I came across the support article, above, I followed the link to uninstall Yantoo, and performed it again.
    Currently, neither "Yontoo", nor "Easy inline" appear as Firefox extensions or add-ons, and there are no folders or files by (or containing) those names anywhere on my hard drive.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this could still be, and how to get it turned off, once and for all?
    Thank You

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How can I get rid of error 9705 on iMac with Firefox update, using Musicnotes site

    I have been downloading successfully from musicnotes.com on this computer until the Firefox update. Help from that site took me through a whole process to be able to print out my purchase, which ended in the error message 9705. AppleCare says it is a Firefox problem. How can I fix this? (Time Machine was not running.)

    I have this problem also and I've tried all the same things you have. None work. Only thing that works is disabling Java in Firefox preferences, which is a pain in the ass because most websites don't work properly when Java is disabled.
    I don't know how to delete Java plugins or delete Java altogether and re-install. Is this possible? or wise?
