Can I opt to not get red dots on the icon

When an update is avaiable, a red dot is placed on the icon. I don't want this to happen. How can I stop this behavior? The option is to remove the icon from the dock. Is that what Apple wants me to do? (And consequently, not purchase anything from the app store.)

That's what the red dot is for. So you go and download the app, that way they let you know when an update is available, so you always have the latest version.
If you don't like it, just remove it form the dock and use the Launch Pad to start your apps. I set mint to activate with CTRL_ARROW UP. Love it.
I actually cleaned all junk from my dockm left only the bare essentials (mostly just built-in apps) and started using launch pad very heavily - minus the annoying app store red dots whih drove me up a freaking wall, same as you.
I know you can modify what the red dot displays in Mail, but I don't think you can disable red dot in wither Mail App Store or iWeb apps.

Can I zoom in with camera? Why do I get red dot when camera turned on?

Can I zoom with camera on I pad? Why do I get red dot sometimes, when camera turned on?

The red dot usually means it's in video mode and that red dot is a simulation of a normal video camera's red record button. If you are on photo mode you can zoom in by putting 2 fingers on the screen and spreading htem out (just like you'd zoom on a website)
but it's a digital zoom, not an optical zoom...so it's really the same as zooming in on the finished photo. Your image will be lower quality if you zoom in. (the iPad camera is mediocre at best to begin with)

Restart your MBP holding the trackpad down and hopefully the disk will be ejected. Then try to return it and get a refund or put it in the trash. There is nothing that software does for your MBP that you cannot do yourself or with free software.
If can get your MBP started, delete all traces of the offending software. Worst case is that you may have to erase the HDD and reload the OS and your user data. I trust that you have a backup (minus MacTuneUp).
Courcoul has given you his opinion in a very succinct manner, and as you might surmise, I agree with him.

Can I put a mark, a red dot, on a photo?

Hi, sorry for this newbie question, have never used iPhoto and need to know if I can use it to place a red dot on a part of any photo. ???
I am posting some pictures on a gardening forum. Trying to identify a certain type of tree. There are many trees in each photo so they suggested putting a red dot on the tree I'm targeting so they can see what the heck to ID. Can I do this?
Can I take a photo on my desktop and put it in iPhoto and use that software to place a red dot on a particular tree in the photo, then have iPhoto save that photo with the red dot, then upload it to photobucket where I can paste it into the forum so the tree will finally be identified?
And if iPhoto will do this, how? What steps do I take?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, iPhoto won't do this for you. It's a photo organiser, you need an image editor.
Check out Acorn, Photoshop Elements or Seashore. There are many others. Search on MacUpdate.
If you don't normally use iPhoto then leave it put of the mix. Use the Editor to mark the pic, then upload to wherever using your Web browser as you normally would.

My phone is listed as compatable on the Mozilla site, but I can not get it to locate the mobile or download it

I have the Sony Erickson Experia X10 phone with Android 2.6 running on it. My phone is listed in the compatible phones list, but I can not get it to locate the app, nor can I get it to download. I have tried from the browser, the market app and even android.com's site. I can find the mobile app on the android.com market site (via my laptop) but it insists that it is not compatible with my phone. I love my FF and want the continuity this would provide. Please help!!

There is no version 2.6 of Android. If you are using Android 1.6, then you will need to update your phone to Android 2.0 or later before you can install Firefox.
To check which version of Android you have, open the "Settings" app, then choose "About phone" and look for "Android version."

Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Since I upgraded I can not get into any of the POGO games

before I upgraded to the newest version of firefox everything worked fine , now I can not get into any of the POGO.com games unless I use internet explorer and I do not want to do that

Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release. Firefox 3.6.15 will fix the issue with some Java applets not working, which has caused many Pogo games to stop functioning.

My iphone can not get in touch with the server. What can I do?

My Iphone can not get in touch with the server, when I am trying to accept terms and conditions. What can I do?

Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

Hi kudu77,
It sounds like an issue with the spell checker dictionary. Please take a look at the [[Using the spell checker]] Knowledge Base article. Try right clicking in a text box and going to ''Languages > English (US) or en-US''. If you don't see that, then it probably means you don't have a dictionary installed and you should add one.
Hopefully this helps!
