Bookmark Icon won't go away on homescreen

I had an iPod Touch I was using for the past couple of years and then recently upgraded to an iPhone 3GS. I had a Digg bookmark icon that I deleted long ago. On my iPhone during every sync it always comes back. On the iPhone I always delete it but that doesn't seem to work or prevent it's reappearance with the next sync. Has anyone here experienced this before? I want my icons for apps only.

After IOS 8 update, bookmark bar won't go away

After upgrading to IOS 8 on my iPad 2, in landscape mode in Safari, the bookmarks bar, now combined with links and "Reading List", won't go away. I believe it is supposed to go away when you select one of the functions, such as bookmark, so that the tab turns blue, then hit it again. It doesn't. I can turn it to portrait mode to make it go away, but I'd like to use landscape mode without losing a third of the screen to bookmarks.

Apple knows what's good for you - how dare you criticizing their benevolent parental guidance?
Jokes aside, I'm also a little bit puzzled that there's no option to choose between the "toggle on-off" setting in landscape mode and the fade out one as in portrait In Safari's settings. But there's actually some kind of workaround I'm now using most of the time in landscape mode:
When tapping the URL address bar your bookmarks will also show above the virtual keyboard as they do when Safari doesn't have any websites opened. As soon as one taps into that bookmark window to scroll or directly click a bookmark the keyboard disappears again. It may not be a perfect method, especially when bookmarks aren't organized in folders, because the top level bookmarks are displayed as rather largish icons. But those contained in a folder will actually display as a drop-down list (can be scrolled when having a large number of entries) similar to the normal bookmarks list. Once a bookmark has been clicked everything fades out and you're taken to the selected site. As my bookmarks are almost exclusively in folders such as "News", "Sports", "Tech" etc. I've come to appreciate this kind of bookmark navigation much more than through the standard bookmarks menu with its annoying behavior in landscape mode.

Icon won't go away

I have this icon that wont go away dont know what it is for................. just a app icon that says "Waiting" below it... never downloads anything... when I go to App Store > Purchased > all my apps are already installed so no clue what it is.....
It will go away briefly but then come back its very strange.... I have tried turning off phone, hard resetting phone... Then even hold down to see if let delete it but when all the other icons wiggle this one doesn't have the x to delete.............

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

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"

Safari 6 (Lion) bookmark icons won't stick

I am still using Lion but I upgraded to Safari 6. If a web page has a pic next to it's URL, that pic goes with the bookmark. After upgrading, all my bookmarks have the blue ball before the each bookmark. If I click on a bookmark with a pic, it shows. However, after closing Safari and reopening, those pics are not sticking, hence back to the default blue ball showing.
What gives? A new unknown Apple setting? Glitch?
Any help with be appreciated.
Wow, I just figured it out thinking outloud to myself while studying the icons showing. Everytime history gets erased, so do the bookmark icons. Really Apple?
Any way to get them to stick besides keeping history forever?

Rats! I just noticed the same thing.
Hey, Apple: This is a bug. Erasure of the history should not erase icons associated with a site.

Disk burn icon won't go away?

I burned a DVD and even after I ejected it, the Burn DVD icon alias won't disappear from the sidebar in the window. I tried dragging it out to the desktop so it would "poof" away, but it just goes back to the sidebar. It's so annoying. Any ideas about how to get rid of it? thank you!

Holding command when I dragged it out of the window deleted it. Thank you!

DnD icon won't go away on Redhat 9

Background:
I recently updated my OS to RedHat 9 (2.4.20-6). Previously on Redhat 7.3 (kernel upgraded to 2.4.18ish) everything worked OK.
java -version
java version "1.4.1-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-beta-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-beta-b14, mixed mode)
Problem:
After dragging and dropping an object the drag icon/cursor turns black/reverse-video and does not go away until I drag another object or move the icon/cursor out of the window. The problem did not occur before my upgrade so I imaging it is not a java problem. I would like to know if anyone can repeat the problem or if anyone else has seen it. One Caveate... if you do anything after the drop that causes an icon repaint (like the OptionPane that is commented out in the code below) the problem does not appear. I have not been able to reproduce the problem outside of java.
thanks

Bookmarks that won't go away

Here is an interesting one. I am using Safari 2.0.4 and have done a bit of customizing. One thing that happens is that every once in a while Safari will add bookmarks that I had thrown out. It has added eBay, Amazon and Yahoo to my bookmark bar. Also, it will sometimes throw some of the stock sites (NYT, BBC, etc.) into my "News" folder. I have thrown these out multiple times. Any idea what is going on? TIA

It is always possible you have corruption in the Bookmarks file. You can rebuild a new file, however, in doing so there is always the possibility you may reimport whatever caused the corruption in the first place. However, by following these steps you can give this a try without losing any bookmarks in the event the corruption reoccurs.
To create a new bookmarks file - Select Export Bookmarks from the Safari File Menu. A panel opens, save the Safari Bookmarks.html to the desktop.
Next, go to your Safari folder in the User Library. There, you'll see bookmarks.plist. Single-click on the file, then Apple key + D to create a duplicate (just in case anything goes awry). Next, move the original bookmarks.plist to the trash. Restart Safari.
On the restart a new bookmarks file is created. In Safari, click on the Book icon on the left side of the Bookmarks Bar opening the Bookmarks Manager. There, you'll see Apple's standard bookmarks collections. Remove all of them by highlighting, delete, as you will otherwise create one or more duplicates by the next step.
Safari File Menu>Import Bookmarks. Navigate to the file you created when you "exported bookmarks". Select it. Your bookmarks will be imported into the new file. Go to the Bookmarks Manager again and make whatever adjustments necessary.
Remember, if anything odd happens, you always have a copy of the old bookmarks file to revert to. Post back and let me know how you made out.

.mac sync icon won't go away!

Unexpectedly at the bar on the top of the screen, I get a ".mac sync" icon. I do not have a .mac account, and never had. I believe this icon showed up after I installed the latest Safari update, but I'm not certain. When I go to preferences, it simply tells me that I don't have a .mac account (my .mac member name or password is missing it says) so I can't remove the icon from the bar on top.
Anybody know how I can get that .mac sync icon at the top of my screen to go away?

Me, too. In fact I still have a few winder boxes lying around and also run winders on all three of my Macs. But most of the time, it's my new, pet MBP 17".
I have learned a tremendous amount about Macs from these forums. There are many very smart and knowledgeable people around here, and most of the time someone has the right answer to a problem.

WD Ext. Hard Drive icon won't go away in Menu Bar?

First, I tried Time Machine and it said I had to reformat my WD, but I didn't want to do that because it had my PC laptop saved to it. So, then I opened WD in Finder and tried to start the process through WD's software. It Scanned and started Processing my Mac files and during the process, I cancelled because I really wanted to use Time Machine. I then deleted the folder "Memeo" from my Finder Applications and proceeded to use Time Machine. I went forward and reformatted my WD so I could use Time Machine, which worked great. However, there is an icon from Memeo stuck in my Menu Bar and I can't seem to get it to go away. Please Help!

Yes; however, I move it to the trash earlier, thinking my Mac would take care of all that. Now when I connect my hard drive, it comes up as Time Machine, so I don't know how to get it back like it was before I began Time Machine?

Annoying photoshop icons won't go away

Hi folks, I on PhotoShop CS5 12.0.3 latest version and often I get annoying little icons - well not icons but that's the best way to describe it! I've even got one on this screen now!
Basically there are symbols or icons that come up when using PhotoShop but remain on screen after I close PhotoShop - so I still have them on my desktop or while watching a video - it's a bit irritating. Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it? I've tried to reset my preferences but no change. It does go away when I restart (the computer, not just photoshop) but I can't do that 3 times a day!
I will insert two jpegs of the problem, I've put a red circle around the icons so you will see them properly, the 1st is the cursor when choosing a certain brush - which is the one I have now, the 2nd is the co-ordinates that appear beside cursor as it appeared on my desktop after closing PhotoShop - very strange.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You have a graphics card problem of sorts.... It simply isn't refreshing this particular area when closing the program. Adjust your driver/ instal la newer/ different one.... Also turning off OpenGL in PS may help to avoid the issue (if that's not already the case).

Skype download icon won't go away?

Last night I downloaded Skype on my MacBook Air that I bought a few weeks ago.
I downloaded it from Skype.com, and everything seemed normal. I can now call and talk to friends and family on Skype from my laptop. However, once Skype downloaded, an icon that looks very similar to a USB icon (except blue with the Skype logo) appeared on my desktop. I tried to eject it like a normal USB, and it worked, but the next time I opened up Skype, the icon appeared again. If I try to eject the icon while I am using Skype, a thing comes up saying that it can't be ejected because Skype is in use. I have talked to my other friends who also have a MacBook air an they didn't have this problem. It's just really annoying having this weird blue icon on my desktop, and I'm not sure why its there. Please let me know if you know how to fix this problem.

Is this the icon you're describing?
If so it sounds as though you downloaded Skype but didn't install it in your Applications folder.
To install it in Applications, first quit Skype.
Then, open the Skype "volume" icon pictured above and drag the Skype app icon in the direction of the arrow, as the graphic below shows:
You may be asked to authenticate with your login ID and password because that action is about to modify the contents of your Applications folder. If you are certain you downloaded Skype directly from Skype's website (http://www.skype.com/en/), then you're OK.
The only reason for mentioning this is that you should always know the reasons your credentials are being requested. It's your last defense against installing some junk you may not want.
Never supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
After Skype is copied to Applications, you can eject the icon on your desktop.
To launch Skype, open the Applications folder, or use Spotlight to find it. After it opens, drag the icon in the Dock (the row of icons along the bottom of your screen) to any other location in the Dock, where it will remain after quitting Skype.

Voice Mail Icon Won't Go Away!

Hello All:
I have a Z30 and I have 10.2.1.3062. I was left a voice mail a while ago and after listening to it the first time, I saved it and listened to it again 3 days later. After that I deleted the saved message. However, the voice mail notification continues to show on my screen/Hub. This is despite the fact that the voice mail says that I have no new or saved messages.
I have tried leaving myself a message and then deleting it, hoping that it would get rid of the icon, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Have you removed the battery then re insert to reset the phone? If that doesn't work, give your carrier a call.
