Can I delete what appears to be a duplicate printer?
I have a Lexmark Optra E312 (old-yes-but as rugged and reliable as a Sherman Tank). This worked fine with my G-4 and iSight G-5, (outlasting both of those Macs), but when I got the late 2009 iMac G5 (3.06 GHz) with Snow Leopard (since the iSight G5 which was running 10.4.11 died), I had to update the E312 drivers.
I went to the Lexmark downloads page and downloaded 10.6 drivers with no apparent problems, except the following anomaly.
I now see two Lexmarks listed in System Preferences Print and Fax, Lexmark Optra E312 and Lexmark Optra E312-1. Both have the same properties, driver update numbers are the same.
So, I think I can safely delete what appears to be the second one. Is my assumption accurate?
Assuming I can safely delete it, do I need to do anything besides open "Print and Fax", select the one I'm going to delete and then hit the minus button below the list of Printers, Fax, and Scanners?
Thanks.

Yes, though before deleting the "-1" printer, I would make sure that both printers print. I am guessing that the "-1" was auto-added after downloading the 10.6 drivers.

No, that's it.

Dose this make sence?Downloading from youtube with what? Normally you view youtube videos. Yes, there are a lot of (youtube) flash video downloaders "out there" so you need to be more specific with what you are using.

Why can't I delete what appears to be a "phantom" bookmark from my Bookmarks Menu?
I have a very peculiar bookmark entry in the Bookmarks Menu that appears to be a phantom entry of some type. I see the entry but it doesn't have a folder icon in front of it like the other bookmark entries do. Furthermore, even after I highlight this particular bookmark, I cannot right-click and go to the website, nor can I delete this bookmark. Indeed, the Name and Description panel below the bookmarks doesn't get updated when I select this particular bookmark.
How do I remove this "phantom" bookmark?
I have a screen capture of this "phantom" entry and the correct entries above and below it if that would help but I don't see a way to attach an image in this post.
Thanks.You're welcome.
Glad that you were able to fix it so easily and thanks for reporting the outcome. -
My trash in iPhoto has no thumbnails in it, however, it says I have over 31K photos in it. I have already "put back" over 35K photos to Events. How can I delete from iPhoto photos that are not in a thumbnail? Also, I have been deleting these for over a year assuming that they were being deleted when I put them in the trash. I didn't realize that there was an iPhoto trash along with my computer trash. I can't put the other Events into the trash until I erase what's in there. Thank you for any help you can give me.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How can I stop what appears to be a virus in my e-mail sending out e-mails
Hi,
I keep getting undeliverable messages from my service provider. It seems I have some virus that keeps sending out some spam about winning money. It is going out to addresses I do not have in my address book or have ever dealt with. I'm not sure what to do or what software I can use to make these stop. Any help would be appreciated.My machine sends them immediately with a prefix in the Subject line saying <RE: hi > then the original email title.
And you have verified that they are indeed being sent by your computer based on an analysis of tcpdump logs or Wireshark logs running on another "believed clean"computer on the same LAN? I would strongly encourage you to submit excerpts of these logs to the likes of Intego, MacScan, etc., if so. You haven't downloaded any freeware from sites of unverifiable integrity, right? Is your DNS settings directing you to the DNS servers that you think they are (perhaps rerouting your sent mail to a rogue smtp server)? In Terminal, type scutil⏎ then type show State:/Network/Global/DNS⏎ and make sure you recognize the IP addresses of the reported DNS servers. (type exit⏎ to exit scutil)
Spammers in Africa can't send their results immediately. Looking at the long headers of a spam returned to me, it's got the same routing info as me and was sent at the same time.
Why not? I doubt that there is some guy sitting there manually doing this with email messages, it is automated, and would probably take milliseconds to duplicate your email, append the canned spam message, and shotgun it back out onto the internet. I live in Colorado and I picked a random server in New Zealand and pinged it (don't trust even pinging anything in some locales). The results?

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?
If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. -
I have what appears to be a virus on my mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ I only discovered it after installing SOPHOS anti virus software.
I cannot remove it automatically with this software it says it has to be done manually.
Where do I start???
Help req'd urgentlyThat is Windows malware, and cannot affect your Mac. See:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Ma l~FakeAV-OQ.aspx
It may be attached to an e-mail message or could be something that was copied over from a Windows machine via flash drive or something similar. If it is attached to an e-mail message, simply delete the e-mail. (Do not let Sophos, or any other anti-virus software, quarantine the message or attachment! That can corrupt the mailbox that the message resides in.) If it isn't an e-mail message, you can let Sophos quarantine and delete the file or you can delete it yourself. -
I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document. I select them in the thumbnails, but can't delete them.
When I choose delete, the 1st five pages are deleted.
What do I do?"2) The last page, p 6, is not in a Section. When I delete p 6 ....pages 2 - 6 are deleted.
Only page 1 remains."
Every page in a Pages word processing document is "in a section". It may be the only page in its section, or it may be in the same section as several other pages. From the behaviour you are describing, I'd suspect your document has two sections: section 1 contains only Page 1, section 2 contains pages 2 to 6.
When you click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar to the left of the page, you'll see a yellow border around all or part of that page icon.
If the yellow border contains only page 6, then Page 6 is in a section by itself, and pressing delete will delete only page 6.
If the yellow border contains page 6 AND any other pages, then all of the pages within that yellow border are in the same section, and pressing delete (while the icons are selected) will delete all of the pages in that section.
To delete only page 6 (the last page in the document) you need to either:
Delete any text content (including invisible characters, and preferably including any other objects) on that page, following the suggestions by Peter above,
OR
Click immediately after the last text character on Page 5, then go Insert > Section Break to place Page 6 into a section of its own. Then click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar, check that the yellow border encloses only page 6, and press delete.
Regards,
Barry
PS: It's pretty easy to add extra pages to a document without seeing the invisible characters that cause the page to appear. Not as easy as it was in Appleworks, fortunately where the personal record for one of my Grade 5 students was a 3 page document with over 1000 extra blank pages sent to a printer. AppleWorks read the enter key as a column break (which acts like a page break on a single column document). On a keyboard with a number pad, enter is in a very convenient location to rest a book (or an arm) while thinking about your writing (or chatting with your neighbor). -
When i open firefox amazon appears in the search bar which i can't delete
every time i open firefox amazon appears in the search window and i can't delete it.
why this has happened i don't know but it means ican't use firefiox as my search engineUse the search bar to select Google as the search engine, it should then be used in all the searches including the location bar and the firefox start page.
* Navigate to the start page by key into the location bar ''about:home'' an hitting the Return key.
Thanks for including your troubleshooting information. You have SearchDial that is probably part of your problem, some users consider that unwanted software or even malware. You also have an Amazon addon installed. There is also a ''user.js'' file likely created by search dial to modify your preferences.
'' Add to Amazon Wish List Button 1.10 ([email protected])
MySearchDial 9.5.5.1 ({ad9a41d2-9a49-4fa6-a79e-71a0785364c8}) ''
First uninstall what you can. <br />
Use the addons page ''about:addons'' to uninstall unwanted addons, then also check your Windows Control Panel and uninstall any unwanted programs. Searching by date will help you find bundled software.
Second scan with multiple and up to date tools <br />
You need multiple tools because each finds some but not all problems.
Thirdly use the Search reset tool & review how Firefox works. <br />
You may also need to check for corrupted shortcuts and ''user.js'' file entries if the above reactions did not deal with them.
Post back to say what you have done and how you got on.

'''General Malware removal advice'''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]

* '''[http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ AdwCleaner: (for adware)]'''
* [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article. Note the suggestion to use the Search Reset addon after removing the malware.
Hopefully any malware will be easily detected and removed. I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.) -
How can I delete apps off of my iPhone 4? I know the apps will begin to shake, but the "X" doesn't appear like it's suppose to. Help, please!!!!
What apps are you trying to delete? Apps that come on the phones cannot be deleted in this fashion. Only apps you purchase from the app store can be deleted.

What can I delete from what folders to A) get more space and B) speed up machine. 2009 Imac Intel based Leopard
If you start deleting things in hidden system folders, or in an /Library folder you may very well mess up something.
That is why I say limit what you delete to your User folder only and only those files you've put or created there. Start messing with anything system or application related without know exactly what you are doing and you risk fubar'ing something.
There are in fact many places in the system areas that will appear to be redundant, but they are not so just because they have similar path or file names.
Also, how much free space do you have with just a freshly rebooted system? If your system does not have much RAM (given the apps your normally run on it), it may be creating quite a bit of swap space. That will be flushed out with a reboot, but if your system is RAM limited, then it will just grow back. In such a case, more RAM would help.
Use Activity Monitor to look at your RAM and swap use over a few days of normal use - look particularly at the page outs, as that will tell you how much virtual memory is actually being used on the drive. If page outs are high (thousands to 10's of thousands or more) your system is RAM limited, and your drive will be filling up with swap files. -

Question is here above but more details here under
I use Entourage as Mail sender. I don't use the adress book.
When I tip a wrong adress and make the correction, the old one stays in the memory of my computer ( apple I Mac ).
When I wish to send a new message to the same adress, the wrong one appears in the same time , and some time I don't remember wich is the good one .
To avoid that problem, how can I delete the wrong adress for future sending of mails.Solution, use Apple Mail
I can highly recommend migrating to the Address Book. You won't have the typo'ed history in your email.

I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them without causing a problem?
Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.
