In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

I have loaded background/wallpaper by accident and I want to get rid of it and just go back to plain background - how do I do it please?

How do I get back to just plain old background - at the moment I've got cherry blossom or something and it's impossible to read the text / toolbars against it. Help please.
I have tried tools menu and clicked on restore default settings but nothing happens.

You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

Hi,
I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
Windows 7 machine.
4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
applications and finally restore your personal folders.

Can't Get Rid of Windows XP

So I have this white macbook running only windows xp. There is no os x on this hard drive. No boot camp and no parallels. Solely runs on xp. I have the original recovery discs for os x tiger and i cant figure out how to get rid of windows and go back to running os x. Can anyone help shed some light please...

Insert the OS X disk. Reboot the Mac, holding down the Option key. You should see the boot panel, with the option to boot from the install disk. Do so by clicking the arrow under the disk image.
When booted into the CD, click through the first (language select) screen. Go to the Utilities menu, and choose Disk Utility. Using the Partition tab, repartition the hard drive to 1 partition, Mac OS Extended format. Close DIsk Utility and proceed through the installation on the new partition you've just created.
Good luck!

Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do!

Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do! theres noting pending on the App Store or iTunes. Nothing failed. I've reset my settings. Logged out and back into itunes. It's really annoying as rinsing my data!

After talking to Apple for 3 hours I figured it out myself.
Tre here was a singular failed song on iTunes on the computer that was trying to download and messing everything up. Maybe if you use iTunes on the computer and have a little mooch you'll find the same thing. I think it was hidden in the purchased part of it

Can I get rid of Lion and go back to the previous operating system? I bought Apple because it was simple. I went from loving my Mac to absolutely hating it.

My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

Just used her MacBook to unlock my iPhone as I was away from home. So she backuped my phone and restored it to allow the unlock to work. That's all.
I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.

A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Accidently installed NoScript, can't get rid of it and JavaScript has been disabled even though it says it's enabled - help!

I accidently installed NoScript when trying to remove adverts/pop-ups. Now it's causing problems on various sites I regularly use and I can't get rid of it. It doesn't show up on Tools/Add- ons so I can disable and JavaScript has been disabled, even though it shows as 'Enabled'.
Help would be appreciated.

The usual method for uninstalling extensions and themes is by using the Add-ons manager for your Mozilla application, as follows.
# Click "Tools -> Add-ons
# Click on the Extensions or Themes button on the top.
# Click on the extension or theme you want to uninstall.
# Click Uninstall.
# Restart your Mozilla application.

How can I get rid of firefox, and the download everytime i go to home page

Firfox Setup Stub 32.0 exe, automatically downloads itself every time I go to the my home page. Why? I don't use firefox, I like Chrome. I have downloaded FF before, just to try to get rid of the annoying download page

Have you set the Firefox download page as the home page in Chrome? It can happen by accident. You should be able to set it back to the default in the Chrome settings. Here's how to set the home page in Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95314?hl=en
Btw, if you've stopped using Firefox a while ago, it has gotten much faster and more lightweight recently. You might want to give it another try.

Can't get rid of contacts and messages

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting rid of contacts. There are certain people I'm desperate to get off my phone, and even when I delete their contact, their name and number still come up as an option in the recipient field when sending a text message. The type of number comes up as 'other'. I know some people have mentioned that these may be recently used contacts, but even if I don't use them for months, they still come up. I don't have any iCloud storage turned on, and I checked other devices (MacBook, iPad, etc.) and these contacts aren't on anything. Also, I've deleted threads of text messages from these contacts also, and when I search a word in my phone, their messages still come up. When I click on them, I'm just taken to the messages main screen.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And how I could get rid of all this?
Thank you in advance!

There is no option to delete the cache. It will be overwritten as time goes by. If you are impatient, Restore as new then sync back content manually.
