How do i remove search-gol from firefox?!! It is not in addons or extenstions and I am worried to reload firefox as i dont want to lose faves or current session
I always use Google as my firefox search engine.
However i must have accidentally downloaded a file that has now set up search-gol as my search engine and i want to get rid of it.
Info to do this strangely doesn't appear anywhere on google searches.
Mozilla says to go into addons/extensions etc but the search engine isn't listed anywhere.
I have also unistalled any programmes that i have recently downloaded but this search-gol think won't go.
I am worried about uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it as i have about 500 favourites and i don't want to lose them and my current browsing session.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this annoying search engine rubbish?
Thanks
Follow the removal guide here:

You don't need to reset Firefox, just remove the preferences associated with SearchGol.
And don't forget to scan your computer with anti-malware software.
Cheers!

How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library
How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?
If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps. -
i tunes will not update it says before i open itunes it wasent installed correctly but i dont want to lose everything i have how do i fix this?
It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10. -
When I turned on my ipad the itunes logo is on it. I cant get to my home screen. I plugged it to my computer and went to the itunes and it states that the ipad is in recovery mode and that I have to do a restore. I have some important photos on it that I dont want to lose. Is there a way I can restore it without losing the photos. I tried the suggestions on this site but it dont work. My last resort is to restore it if I have to. Also, when Im on the itunes site it does say that i can update on March 15th Can anyone help? Thanks
Then you can select that backup to restore from if you want. If it is an old backup - then you will be restoring the iPad to the condition that it was on that date. You mentioned March 15 in your first post. If your only backup is from last year, then you will lose all of the photos that you have taken since then.
When you post back, include details ...not just a one sentence statement. Its difficult to ascertain exactly what you are experiencing without specific details. -

How do I remove a device from iTunes that does not show up under "Manage Devices" in account?
My husbands macbook is logged in with his iTunes account. For some reason my iPad (linked with my account) keeps showing up on his macbook under his account. I went on his account and to manage devices and my iPad is not one of the devices listed. So how do I permanentaly delete my iPad from showing up on his account?
It is showing up in his iTunes library as all iDevices would.
That has nothing to do with his iTunes account.
My iPad device is not an option as a device being used by his apple ID.
It's not being used by his AppleID.
Select the iPad in his iTunes library.
Click the Summary tab.
Uncheck Sync this iPsd over wifi.
Uncheck Open iTunes when this Pad is connected.
Right click > Eject the iPad. -
OK, so I have gone into iTunes on my desktop computer and completely deleted podcasts that I no longer want. I synced my phone (4S) but the podcasts are still showing on my phone. I am already unsubscribed, but I want to totally DELETE them. Why is this so hard?
Also, why doesn't Apple bring back the right-click delete option in iTunes?Under "My Podcasts" swipe down to reveal a search bar, to the left will be an "EDIT" button. Press and delete the ones you want. I agree it's not very intuitive, should just be like any app, hold down and either move or delete.

The program has already been deleted from the applications folder, but I cannot drag the ice into the trash.
Try resetting Launchpad.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.
You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?
How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
