Can I get rid of the battery-like icon in the locbar?

With a few websites a gray icon that looks like a car battery appears at the left end of my locbar, followed by the "more than" sign (>). I'm told that this means that an element on the page uses a plug-in—although I can't find any pertinent documentation. If what I'm told is correct, I can't see any use for this icon. My questions are:
1. Of what use is this icon? and
2. Is there any way of getting rid of it?

Usually, the Troubleshooter add-on in Firefox (built-in I believe) will try to grab your troubleshooting information. It's a green button that shows before you post your question. I'm not sure how the Ask a Question process works anymore since it's been re-worked previously but I'm sure Tyler would know more.
Checking the box "Needs more information" basically is asking the OP or anybody else for more information. For example, I can click the "Needs more info" and it'll add a 'tag' for needing more info. Once the info requested has been provided, you can clear it by clicking the checkbox again. It'll say something different. (I think it says "I'm providing the requested information.)
You can copy/paste the Troubleshooting Information manually by following the directions below:
*Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
*Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

JenJenTen,
I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.

Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I can't get rid of the error message

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from Blackberry's website. When I launch the Desktop manager I get this message: "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." The troubleshooting posts I've seen on this forum include many tips (the ones I've tried are below). One in particular I can't do is "The desktop manager is showing "disabled."
-Make sure that the user has gone into the desktop manager and selected options > connection settings > detect."
... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the options menu in the BB Desktop Manager.
I have tried the following:
uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
moved the cable to the USB port in the back (after trying both the ports in the front) of the computer
restarted the computer many times
hard booted the phone by removing the battery
plugged in, removed, and replugged in the phone.
Also:
The phone is installing correctly when I plug it in, but the software still doesn't seem to see it.
In the Device Manager, the BlackBerry is showing up under Portable Devices. Double-clicking on it gives me the reassurring "This device is working properly." message.
The Com1 port is working properly also, according to the Device Manager.
Double-clicking on the device manager icon to get the properties shows that the Com1 port is "disconnected" -- when I try to configure it it just pops back to the disconnected state.
If someone has an idea or something I haven't tried I'd sure appreciate it!!
Thanks!

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.
iPad

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I can't get rid of the "Install OS X" disk image...

Several months ago (I think it was when upgrading from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3) I had trouble with two machines - my wife's MBA (Rev. A - 1.6 GHz, 2GB ram, 80 GB HDD), and my MBP, but our iMac did fine. Eventually I got both the MBA and MBP updated and they work fine. Since then I've updated the MBA so that it's running 10.6.4.
Here's my problem: during the difficult software update somehow I was left with two (2!) "Install OS X" disk images on the MBA desktop. I cannot get rid of them no matter what I do. I've tried ejecting (and they eject - but then when you reboot the computer they come right back), I've tried using disk utility to erase them, I've tried numerous things but I can't get rid of the darn things.
I'd given up because they weren't causing any harm. However, I've just realized I can't run TimeMachine because of the disk images - TimeMachine stops with an error message saying it can't back up two disks with the same name. I can't change the name or delete the disk images so I can't do backups.
Any ideas on how to get rid of these silly things?

OK, then open Disk Utility. Click on the main drive entry at the top of the sidebar list, then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see a window in which you have the three partitions displayed as rectangles one on top of the other. I'm assuming that in your case the largest rectangle is the uppermost one with the two mystery partitions at the bottom. Click in one of the smaller rectangles. You should see it become outlined in blue. Then click on the [-] Delete button. Repeat for the second small rectangle. You will now have a gray area below your OS X partition. Now click on the Apply button. It may take several minutes for the process to complete so be patient and wait until it's done. When it's finished you should see the topmost OS X partition and the remainder of the window is gray space. In the lower right corner of the OS X partition should be a sizing gadget that looks like a triangle. Use the mouse to drag the corner all the way to the bottom of the window. Click on the Apply button and wait for the process to be completed.
This should restore your drive to it's original single volume state and get rid of the two mystery items.

I can't get rid of the message, n error occurred with the publication of album. It just keep coming back, and can't move around in IPhoto.

Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New 'Super Cookies' That Track Private Web Browsing

Further to the article "Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New ‘Super Cookies’ That Track Private Web Browsing" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-users-cant-rid-super-180500863.html, is there a solution to resolve this security issue?
Here's an excerpt from the above mentioned article;
"Apple users are particularly vulnerable, as their devices do not have a function that lets users delete super cookies from their browsers.
Most websites place what’s called a “cookie” on visitors’ computers, which is used to track them and record their preferences. It’s how websites can remember your password, for example. Like your web browsing history, they’re easy to delete. If you use your browser’s “private browsing” mode they’re never saved in the first place — and advertisers can't track you, and other computer users can't go back and see what you looked at.
However, a flaw in a modern web security feature called “HTTP Strict Transport Security” (HSTS) allows websites to plant “super cookies” that can be used to track web users’ browsing habits even when private browsing is enabled.
Here’s how it works.
Security researcher Sam Greenhalgh writes that HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should aways be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
And because HSTS carries over into private browsing, it means the “super cookie” can be used to track you whether you’re attempting to cover your steps or not.
Greenhalgh says that Apple’s Safari web browser is especially vulnerable to the exploit. While clearing cookies on Mozilla’s Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera also erases HSTS flags, deleting the super cookies, there’s no way to do so on Safari on iOS devices.
This means that if you’ve had super cookies placed on your iPad or iPhone, there’s effectively no way to get rid of them short of reformatting the entire machine."

Hi all,
I tried this with IOS 7.1.2 Safari on an iPad retina and the super cookie did not persist after web data and history was deleted.
I also tried this with IOS 8.1.2 Safari on an iPhone 6, and the super cookie persisted even after deleting web history and website data.
Evidently it was ok on 7.1.2 and broken on 8.1.2.

HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE EVENTS CATEGORY?

There are days that I will add only one picture to iPhoto and it becomes an event. Every time I add a new picture to iPhoto 8 I get a new event. This past week I have been renaming some albums and adding new albums and folders and that has had a very undesired result of now telling me I have 26,624 items in 3,071 events. That, 26,624 number, incidentally, is the same number of photos I have in iPhoto.
If I try to delete an event, I find I am also deleting the pictures in that event from my main iPhoto library. I have also noticed that the events in my events area are randomly numbered, not in any sort of order.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, iPhoto 8 does not recognize my camera (Canon PowerShot S5IS) when I try to add photos to iPhoto.

cmiles:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't get rid of the Events mode as it's the basic container feature of iPhoto which is organized by date. You can always drag that single event onto another one in the Event mode to join them, thus getting rid of the single event. You can also do that in the Photos mode, with Event names displayed so it's like the old rolls, by dragging a photo or photos into another event.
Regarding the problem of the camera not being recognized that's a tougher problem to fix. A workaround is to use Image Capture to upload the photos to a folder on the desktop and then import the folder into iPhoto.
One user fixed his similar problem with an Archive and Install of Leopard and a reinstall of iPhoto from the disk it came on. As I said, not as easy a fix.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
