After updating to 3.6.14 there are shortcuts on the desktop that won't delete. How do I delete them?

I was prompted to update my fire fox to 3.6.14. After doing it, there were 4 shortcuts on my desktop. I have tried deleting them but get a message saying "cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk."

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

  • (1) I want to alphabetize faces. (2) Can't change spelling in Faces. After I correct it, it jumps back to the incorrect spelling. There are names in the list that aren't assigned. Can they be deleted??

    I type Sandi Patty.  It changes it to Sandi patty.  (Little "p")  There are some pics in there correctly capitalized and some that aren't.  So, I deleted all the faces with incorrect spelling hoping to clear the system of that name completely.  Didn't work.  As you type Sandi, all the choices, including the one with error in capitalization show up.  I type it CORRECTY -- Sandi Patty -- I click on another face and the Sandi Patty becomes Sandy patty.  (Little P)     There are other names in the list that were the result of bad spelling.  Can these NOT be deleted??

    Not at this time, I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support today on this topic and they could not locate the files necessary to delete names from the list.  Bummer

  • I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

    I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

    The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
    You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

  • When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it.  I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work.  How do I get rid of it?

    I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete.  I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either.  How do I get this draft to disappear?

  • Often after I've selected a Bookmark there are remnants of the list of Bookmarks still on my screen outside of the Firefox window. How do I get Firefox to not leave remnants of the Bookmark list?

    Often after I've selected a bookmark from my list of Bookmarks in Firefox the screen doesn't refresh properly and parts of the list of Bookmarks remains on the screen. The remnant is always above and/or below the window that contains Firefox. If I move the window around the desktop gets properly repainted. However there is still a remnant of the bookmark list in my task bar. Is there a fix for this anywhere?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

    There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar<br />
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active,  How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

    I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address.  How do I change it to my new email address?  The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account.  The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating.  What do I do?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not.  All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID.  This can't be changed.  The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

  • After updating my Firefox, I am unable to access my top sites(those 8 blocks). How can I get them back?

    Not even the switching option on the top corner is being available.

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    You can check these prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset them if necessary via the right-click context menu.

  • HT2292 the latest itunes update on my vista laptop brings up R6034 runtime error - after rebooting - uninstalling - reinstalling i have no itunes access. please correct in your updates. there are others with the same error message

    the latest itunes update on my vista laptop brings up R6034 runtime error - after rebooting - uninstalling - reinstalling i have NO itunes access. please correct in your updates. there are others with the same error message   thank you!!

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

    My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

    Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
    (I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2) 
    And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
    No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

  • Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I can not find an album for photos before 2012.

    Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.

  • Difficulty updating Firefox: "Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer.."

    I have great difficulty updating Firefox . I'm told:
    "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again."''''''
    However, there are no other copies of Firefox running. I tried rebooting the PC just to be sure all Firefox processes had been terminated but problem persists. '''Both user accounts of my PC have administrative privileges.
    After trying to update Firefox for both users a number of times, it eventually updates, but process takes many tries and much time.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    There are songs in my library that do not show up on my ipod after syncing.
    Why would this happen ?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?
