A program called BING seems to have inbedded itself and cannot unenstall or delete.
The program does not allow my home page to come up at start up. Found it in the root directory with Firefox and deleted it but must be imbedded in Firefox because it still starts up with BING home page.
Sorry, my instructions for the "owner" of this thread were with regards to his particular problem with the homepage change / lock that he posted in ''More systen details...'' ''(also posted at the top of my response)'' and didn't involve routing thru the file system and deleting files. There are many other "things" which can add Bing to Firefox, so if Bing is your main problem there might be other causes or hidden software that was installed - ''my last count was over 10 causes''.
As far as deleting the files you found, as long as you are sure those files are definitely related to Conduit, I see no reason not to delete those files.

Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc. & another A, B, C. They don't mesh & can't get rid of either. All info there, but can't change width of columns.
I think my problem is that I have inadvertently created three tables (I only want one). I have included a screen shot of the light grey line under B and the words Table 1 behind it.

Trying to install Yosemite - seems to have frozen / stalled and now can't quit or restart or anything - help!
If you have another computer that is on the same network as the Mac you're trying to upgrade, you can try to "ssh" in to the mac while the upgrade process is running. "ssh" is a command available on many computers (built in to Linux and Mac and not sure if it is native app on Windows or not). For example on a Linux box trying to login to a Mac you could (assuming the IP address of the Mac is 192.168.99.99):
ssh [email protected]
The authenticity of host '192.168.99.99 (192.168.99.99)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is c2:2c:8f:f5:82:77:85:69:3a:ac:3e:30:62:55:14:1f.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Once you get logged in, you can do a couple of things to see if things are progressing. Try to do a couple of "df -k" commands a minute or so apart (maybe a little more) and see if the "Used" and/or "Available" column numbers change. You can also try a "top" command to see what processes are running and which are using cpu and other resources. Do a "man top" or "man df" to see more information about these commands.
Be careful and not change anything while this upgrade is proceeding - don't remove files or change things with the system. Also note that depending on which phase of the upgrade process it is in, the disk space numbers may not even change. But the "top" command should give you a very good indicator on if anything is really going on. Another good thing to look at is to do the following:
cd /var/log
tail -f install.log
this will show you all/most of the commands that are being run as the upgrade is in progress. Just control-c to abort the "tail" command.
Once you have convinced yourself something or nothing is going on (the time estimator seems to be horribly unreliable in the couple of times I've watched the upgrade process), then just let it finish and it should reboot at the end of the process. To log back out of the Mac, just type in the "exit" command followed by an Enter or Return.
This all assumes that you had setup "Remote Login" in the "Sharing" System Preferences pane before hand on the Mac.
Good luck...

I went to use my iPhone 5 (I had used it just minutes before) and it wouldn't work. It was about half charged and seems to have shut itself off. I tried charging it and turning it on but the screen remains completely black. What happened?
Try resetting. Hold the sleep wake button (on the top edge), and the home button (round button on the front with the white square) at the same time for 10-15 seconds. If you see the apple logo, let go. Your phone should restart. If not?

I have adobe 9 and cannot open PDF files????
I have Adobe 9 and cannot open PDF Files. It gives me an encoding box??
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts.
Hoping for advice please. I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts, it will only deliver if I send the text individually.
I cannot send photos via text message and if someone sends me a photo or long text it comes through to my e mail. Why?
Please help, I think they may all be connected.Thank you.I've noticed that this only happens when one or more of the recipients I enter has an iphone and at least one of the others does not. The system seems to fail when it tries to send an SMS text message and an iMessage. The frustrating thing is that I don't get a chance to try to just send all as SMS texts instead.
The only way I found to get around this problem is to make sure that I send to two separate groups, one group with iPhones and another without. Two separate messages isn't ideal, and searching for who has an iphone and who doesn't is a pain, but... until they fix it, I'm afraid this is our only option. -
Can anyone advise how to close apps with the new iOS? I have multiple open and cannot close them
Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

I recently changed my phone. Before I did the guy at the Verizon store said my photos were backed up in my photo stream. I have logged on and cannot locate them. Is their something I can do to recover them?
Photo Stream does not "backup" your photos, you have to do that yourself on iTunes, BUT if you have the iCloud app for your PC/Mac installed, your photos will be on there

i have an ipad2 and cannot find how to upgrade to ios 6, despite visiting apple site, itunes etc. Apple is normally intuitive but this is a real labarynth?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
