  • Bookmarks toolbar - site icons have appeared in FF4 - how to remove the icons?

    I can find the option to disable all toolbar icons BUT specifically website icons have appeared in V4 in the bookmarks toolbar.
    This is annoying as the icons take up so much space - I can only fit half as many toolbar bookmarks.
    How can I disable the bookmarks toolbar website icons?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

    If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device.

    It's most likely the Display going out on a few lines, but can be Graphic card related, which model & display?

  • When I click Fire Fox icon, MSN appears, not your screen

    We have a new computer with Windows 7 and Fire Fox as our default. Now, when we click the Mozilla icon on the screen, the Fire Fox screen does not appear, rather MSN screen comes up. How do I get rid of MSN?

    Hello,
    Your problem is that it is set to msn home page, to solve this problem, you need to go to the menu and enter the options screen and select the option
    Restore to Default.See image .

  • IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

    If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
    Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter. 

    What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
    I just presumed so really.
    What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
    Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
    And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
    And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
    Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
    My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,

  • 2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have appeared on my screen

    2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have suddenly appeared on my screen. On a white back ground they appear blue and green. they have a wide space between them. I switched off and on but they are still there. Whats happening?

    You don't say what model Mac you have (iMac I assume) or OS version, but it's probably an LCD problem. Do you have access to another monitor? If it doesn't show up on the external monitor, it's your iMac monitor and not the video card. If it shows up on the external, it's the video card. Do you have AppleCare?

  • How do I get my iPod shuffle icon to appear on computer screen?

    When I first set my iPod shuffle to download music from my computer the shuffle icon appeared and now it doesn't. I need to delete some of the download from the shuffle but the icon does appear when connected. iTunes is on but no shuffle icon. What do I need to do?

    Hello Gtm44,
    I recommend reviewing the following article when your iPod shuffle is not appearing in iTunes:

  • Login Icon and shutdown icon not appearing on login screen

    I don't know if it is just coincidence but I have had two instances where the login icon and the shutdown icon are not appearing on the login screen and the login screen is not "live" after I had installed an HP officejet 8600 printer on my W700ds to run through the network and another computer last night.  The first time it happened last night I wasn't sure what to do so I held the power button until shutdown and when it rebooted and the RAID1 had to verify.  This morning when it happened again I was a little fresher and put it into hibernation - Fn-F12 - and when I woke it it acted normally.  I have just had a new mainboard installed on 1/15/2013 and a new processor installed on 1/22/2013 to cure other problems and have used it at least one full day after rebuilding without a problem before this started.

    Hi, Geophyte1
    I did some research and found this document from Microsoft that might shed some light on your issue. According to Microsoft, this error is normally the result of graphics issues, but can also stem from RAM issues. There are two methods posted by Naman R, a moderator, that may be able to help you.
    Best of luck. Let me know how it goes,
    Adam

  • Ghost volume icon appearing randomly on screen

    I have a volume icon that appears on my screen, and much like a ghost in the night, it upsets things..primarily it messes with my mouse to the point where it moves slowly and has difficulty going where I want it to go. When I shut down, it goes away for a while, but then reappears.

    It sounds like you have some sort of Backup software that mounts an external drive or network drive periodically.
    Generally Macs become less responsive during backups -- and that might explain the jerky mouse movement.

  • My iphone won't start only the apple icon is appearing

    hello guys       
    there was a problem on my iphone. its not getting started only the apply icon is appearing on the screen. my battery is not empty because i had just finish charging my iphone...please help me..

    Plug into iTunes and restore. If it is not recognised by iTunes unplug it then hold down both the Home and Power buttons until you see the screen blackout. Now continue to hold the home button while you plug it in via usb. It will enter "recovery mode" and will show a connect to iTunes screen. Follow the prompts to restore your firmware and restore your data from a backup
