Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.

When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.

Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

I had the same problem but looking at what everyone else said, I simpley slowly started to click on all the tabs in the app store, let them load completely, and then clicked back to the updates afterwards. It worked after a little while

Yahoo toolbar appeared without my consent. Can't get rid of it. Does not appear in list of add-ons or in list of programs installed for uninstall. (Win7; FFx5) Please help me delete this annoyance.)

I was prompted to update Java. I got a YAHOO toolbar which I did and do not want. I can't get rid of it. It does not appear on the Add-on list, not in the programs list (to uninstall). Can't find anything with Yahoo in the name. I do not want to use View, because it keeps coming back into view without my consent -- I want it gone permanently.
The uninstall directions in Yahoo help call for click on pencil tool (which tool is not found on this toolbar). Firefox instructions say go to Add-on list, but the Yahoo bar is not there. There are several Java add-ons, but I don't know what they are and what happens if they are uninstalled.
Win 7; Firefox 5.0; Yahoo toolbar ver 2.3.8.20110620112826
Perhaps it is disguised as something else. If so please tell me what to uninstall.

Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

I want to get rid of Yahoo as my default tool bar, and everything it came with.

I was asked some time ago if I wanted to choose Yahoo as my toolbar, and I accidentally said yes. I want the original toolbar back, with the Google search box, no animated weather, facebook ebay tabs, etc. Going to Customize and choosing default settings didn't do it. Help!

That would be from a '''Java''' plugin update, it comes with extra crapware, see picture at http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/javainstall.png/

I want to get rid of my guest user account. It will not let me delete it from the user

I did not have the guest user account available and then after I changed some of my setting for my mail, I noticed that when I logged back in the guest user icon was present. I do not want to have this guest user account on my log in screen. I tried to delete it from my system preferences but all it does is disable the guest user but the icon still appears. I need some help!

Thanks to Brad Caldwell for the questions and screenshot via Twitter, you can follow us there too.
How to disable that “Guest User” from appearing at the OS X 10.7.2 login screen
Open System Preferences
Click on “Security & Privacy”
Click the lock in the lower corner and type in your administrative password to unlock the control panel
Check the box next to “Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked”
This prevents the Guest User account from being visible at the login screen both during reboot and at the login screen. Again, it’s highly recommended to keep this enabled for security purposes, but if your Mac is locked down with a security cable or you don’t have any use for Find My Mac, you could disable this and not feel too bad about it.

Updated to 4 a while ago, but the last versin of 3 is lingering and reappears, want to get rid of it, as well as disk images and other clutter that usually goes away after an update. Any ideas?

really two things: one: the last version of FF 3 keeps reappearing when, for example, links in emails require opening the browser. Example: an email from netflix with a link to the site which I clicked on to update some info. Instead of going to/thru the current browser FF4, the previous version appears---more accurately the "firefox updated" page for 3.16 or whatever it was. Why is this still there? Why is there more than one copy there in the first place, after updating?
also, related perhaps, why does the FF4 disk image and application folder always appear when I open FF4. Usually they go away after the update and first restart, but now they appear every time I open the browser? I have snow leopard 10.6.7 if that tell u anything

Only if you had previously installed an app that would periodically email you its location. Not that the iPod has to br on and connected to the internet.

I am having issues with updating my iphone. I keep getting an error message relating to connecting to the server. I have read previous posts and I did disable my firewall on Norton, but still no luck. Other suggestions, please.

As you can see the operating system is well out of date. This has been an ongoing issue for quite some time. Any help would be appreciated. Would going to an Apple store for hands-on help, be the best solution??

Sounds like you might need to take it to an Apple Store but if it is an iPhone 3G it would no longer be under warranty.
Looking at the Apple Store online you can get an iPhone 3GS from $49 on AT&T if it comes to having to get a new one. Your other option is second hand.

Hot corners are awesome! full screen apps are awesome. apple doesn't want me to use both at the same time. WHY? it really seems like apple did this on purpose. there is no other explanation. please help or change! i'm trying to work here...

have a nice day, and thank you for your time

ok, i'll do it the friendli way in another post

I think I deleted my old iPhone profile is there anyway to get it back? Help?!

iPhone help anyone?? I just got my replacement iPhone and tried to sync it with my old iPhone 4 profile. It said it couldn't because it was an old operating system so I would have to set it up as a new iPhone first. Now my old iPhone with all messages, photos etc. has disappeared...is there anyway of getting it back??!! Also my new iPhone says it can't download the new software as the firmware is not compatible. I really don't want to have lost all my old iPhone information, please help!! My iCloud account is still set up to my old iPhone profile if that helps? Could it be that my old iPhone is blocked?

Firmware not compatible is often an indication that your iTunes isn't up to date. Update it to the latest version (10.6.3), then try updating your phone again. You can check to see if the backup of your old phone is still there by going to iTunes preferences and looking at the backups list on the Devices tab. If it isn't there then you can't get your old data back (unless you had backed up your old backup). If it is, then once your new phone is up to date right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Restore from Backup, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to.
When you set up your new phone, sign into your existing iCloud account and go to Settings>iCloud and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars and your other iCloud backup and your iCloud data should be restored to your phone.

Want to get rid of BoxLayout

Hi,
Currently I have some code that uses a BoxLayout, however I want to get rid of the BoxLayout and just have a layout where I can place any object where I want. Here is the code:
private void buildUI(Container container) {
container.setLayout(new BoxLayout(container,
BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
CoordinateArea theArea = new CoordinateArea(this);
container.add(theArea);
label = new JLabel();
label.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
resetLabel();
container.add(label);
This is what it looks like:
http://form17.net/Picture-1.gif
The problem is, whenever I add the JButton to the frame, it positions it under the label (for the position of the mouse) due to the BoxLayout.
Basically I want to be able to position the button (and eventually other objects) wherever I want, but still keep the label (for the position of the mouse) on the very bottom. Help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you want everything to be a direct child of the frame? It looks like you might want to use BorderLayout for the fixed components, and have your button a child of whatever container you put in the centre.
