Assuming you are using a relatively recent version of OS X, click the folder Applications in the Dock, then look in the window that opens for an item named Stickies. Click it. Your stickie note should then be available.

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.
Erica,
I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
Best.
BPW

I just replaced the hard drive on my g4 PowerBook -I don't know where my original software is and apple won't touch it since its "vintage". Does anyone know what my options are to get my computer working again?
Hello and welcome to the support community
You only option is to buy a copy of Mac OS X, either the retail disk or system disks.
There are places you can by a copy of Mac OS X, like online vendors, Amazon or eBay.
System disk are gray and come with more than one disk. Retail disk are black with a 'X' on them and often come as one DVD disk.
Not sure what version your going to require as you haven't provided any specification and model details.
I would safely assume being a G4, it would be happy to install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
If you could let us know the PowerBook you own, then I am sure we could advise you further.
Best of luck -
I recently bought a macbook pro retina and while I'm using it a yellow triangle pops up then disappears. I don't know what it says. How do I find out whats wrong?
Oh, by all means. Uninstall it using its uninstaller if you have one. Do not install any anti-malware software as it's unneeded with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper 2.0.1
2. AppDelete 3.2.6
3. Automaton 1.50
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash 1.8.2
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

It may be on your desktop but you might have customized the download location. I would recommend reviewing Start the installer after downloading.

I have a problem .. I can not download and update some applications from App Store as it asked me for apple ID I don't know this email.. How I can solve thi problem
All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

I purchased an used macbook and I don't know the old owners password, how can I reset it?
Well, it is part of the Mac. So you were shortchanged.
Call AppleCare and ask them to send you a replacement set. They will ask for the serial number and model number to sure they are give you the correct set. They will charge you a nomibnal fee for shipping and handling.

I just got a macbook pro as a gift and i wanted to upgrade to mountain lion for free but i don't know where the laptop was brought? can anyone help me?
No one here would have any information as to where the MacBook Pro was purchased.
Contact the person who gifted the Mac.
Apple - See if you qualify for a free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade. -

I don't know why but somehow my imovie has dissapraed off my desktop when I want to be working on it. When I click new project at the top of the screen the file then reappears from the top right corner of my creen but does not fill my whole desktop. I then click on a name for a new project and then the app just disspears again inot the top right corner of my screen and I do not know how to get it back? This is is the first time this has happened.
Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

While opening palm desktop I got the dreaded "Error failed to open Date Book database" and my ENTIRE datebook was EATEN AGAIN...
Shame on me for depending on this flakey software to keep track of my entire G*dd*mn life but there it is...
I WAS still running 4.2. I've tried uninstalling 4.2 and installing 6.2 under the (obviously) mistaken assumption that there's a way to fix the corrupt datebook database in 6.2.
Now I can't even access any of my other data like ALL OF MY ADDRESSES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS, ALSO (SILLY ME!!!) entrusted to this flakey POS software....
because now I cannot find any way in the menus or imports or WHATEVER in 6.2 to connect the program to my old profile...
Does anyone know of any 3rd party software that can retrieve my data from the old databases? (That would be my first preference -- GET MY INFORMATION and then deep six this sucker!)...
Is there a CLUE anywhere in any documentation about how I can reconnect my GOOD data with 6.2???
Post relates to: Visor PrismThis happens probably because of 2 existing palm desktop data. Older version of PDS will store the user data under c:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One on the other hand PDS 6.2 will store the User Data under My Documents\PalmOS Desktop.
Given that you have all the updated data on your phone, Uninstall Palm Desktop , and make sure you remove all other folders for previous PDS. (rename palm folders under program files and palm os desktop under mydocuments). Once everything has been removed, install fresh installation of PDS, sync your device and just make sure you set the sync method to Handheld overwrites Desktop. -
Just need help completing download
I have the disks that came with my MBPro and they are 10.5.x. I'm at the "Do You Already Own A Mac" screen since they gal on the phone said to call her when I got to that point. But of course, she has gone home for the day! So - I dun't know WHAT quite to do next?
I have TM backup of my entire MBPro internal hard drive so that's not a problem. But this was a brand new hard disk they said they put into my Mac to replace the original one which they said was f'd up!
I am so wiped out from all of this Macintosh nonsense. It took me an entire weekend to download the updates to all of Apple's software last time they had me do this. The amount of time I've been down is just unbelievable to me given my history with Apple being such a solid, easy to use, and great system.
Can a 3rd party backup software like WD's really cause this much havoc??? -
