Can't get rid of annoying electronic voice after opening new windows.

The kids were playing around w/computer. The only way I can get rid of the electronic voice is selecting "Mute" I tried going into system preferences and speech but had no luck.

You may have switch on the VoiceOver accessibility feature (System Preferences -> Speech;(fn) Cmd-F5)

How can i get rid of the iTunes logo after updating my iPhone 4 to the iOS 6

How can I get rid of the iTunes logo after updating my iPhone to iOS 6

Absolute garbage.
This abysmal excuse "Always have been built in apps" is irrelevant. NOTHING should be tied to the OS of even
a phone so tightly that you can't get rid of it. NONE of the apple crap apps do I use, but they use space on MY phone.
I want the **** things gone.

How can I get rid of annoying "Unnamed USB device" messege??

Whenever I boot into OS9.2.2 on my other drive in my dual 500Mhz. G4 I get a usb upgrade messege window:
"Software needed for the USB device "Unnamed device" is not available. Would you like to look for the software on the internet?"
This appears everytime I boot, restart, startup on this drive. I've looked for this "unnamed device" in various places like the extensions folder to delete it but I can't find it anywhere. All of my usb devices are functioning and have been named including my MIDI controller. It would be great if I could get rid of this annoying reminder.......how can I get rid of this???
500mhz. Dual processor (revision B) dual boot Mac OS 9.2.x 1.25gig RAM

I think it's my midi controller. I unplugged iton startup and I didn't get the messege. I've got the right driver installed for it and it's working fine so I don't know why I keep getting the messege. It's annoying to have to answer the question everytime time I startup.

Can´t get rid of annoying HP message everytime I print.

I´m having a problem with my HP printer and Tech Support in Brazil could not solve it!
I had to reinstall Windows on my notebook due to a hard disk crash, and I used the recovery disks provided by Dell.
I downloaded the latest driver for my HP OfficeJet 8600Pro: “OJ8600_1315.exe”.
Every time I print I get the pop-up window below:
“Thank you for using original HP cartridges … Click on HP REWRDS for more information”
I click “No, thanks, g* t* h***”
Next time I print it shows same pop-up again.and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
I called tech support on +55 11 4004-7751, case is filed under Protocol 3002909186.
The tech guy asked me to remove the driver and reinstall. I did it, and I de-selected all useless features such as TheGoogleWannabe (Bing), HP Help, HP Update, etc. - Did not solve…
Then he asked the tech guys from “level 2” and they put the blame on Windows, because windows was not recording my “No, Thanks” option… such lousy answer!
As stated before, I used the recovery disks from Dell, so I am using a fresh, 2 weeks old original Windows 7.
I hope there is a better solution than downgrading the driver to a version that had no "Rewards" c**p.
You know, sometimes good old stuff is better than the new.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I solved it by myself! I´m so smart...
Google-the-great found this:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead-Issues/Can-t-get-rid-of-quot-Genuine-HP-C...
In "EXBworksmart" long answer lies the solution #1: disable bidirectional communication and shut up the printer.
Solution #2: Never buy HP again. I lost $2500 in my HP notebook because it featured a nVidia video chip, which on regular PCs come with a hetsink and sometimes a fan, but on my HP note it was bare naked, not a single piece of metal to spread the heat. The note had an AMD processor, it was hot, and the video chip broke the BGA solder.
Just to finish, I bought a cheap Brother Laser printer HL-1112. No scanner, no wifi, no colors, no fax. But I can leave it off for years and it will print right away. Obviously any HP laser printer would act the same way, but why should I buy from an inferior brand that is only good at marketing?
Brother printers do the job, the toner cartridge is separated from the drum cartridge yielding lower maintenance cost, AND NO NASTY "BROTHER REWARDS" POP-UPS!
Now I´m going to call brazillian tech support to teach them. Wait... why bother?
No offenseses in this mail, only the truth.

Can't get rid of ads popping up and open up every few minutes.

Every few minutes i get pop up ads and/or windows that open and play music or videos. I can't get rid of this and it's using all of my internet and slows it down a lot.

You should check with a mal- / adware scanner. 
There are several scanners for example Malwarebytes or CCleaner. 
I myself like and use Malwarebytes, see for info and free download https://www.malwarebytes.org/

The ad takes over and I can't get rid of the horrible voice that talks about electronic cigarettes! How do I kill it?

When I go to a bookmarked web page your ad page comes up. If I click it off it continues in the background. It is usually about an electronic cigarette. It continues forever. The only way I can get rid of it is to set my volume to mute. It is really annoying!

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Can't get rid of annoying gray strip in Safari

There is a wide gray vertical strip containing bookmarks and reading list along the left side of my safari that I cannot seem to get rid of. I click on the eyelgasses, I click on the bookmarks but there doesn't appear to be a way to X out of it. Help?

Try the Safari View Menu -- Hide Sidebar. (Or if you have the Favorites bar visible, you can click on the bookmark icon just below the Back button -- and above the Bookmarks icon in the sidebar itself)

How can I get rid of annoying sounds?

I just received my first iPhone. I like it, however, there are two annoying sounds/noises that I cannot seem to turn-off. The first sound is what appears to be a "baby laughter" every time I send out a text. I have all sounds turned off on the texting and it is still there. The second sound is every time I want to put the iPhone in a sleep mode with the button on the top of device, I get what appears to sound like a "camera click." I would appreciate some input in getting rid of these two sounds.

There is not an option to disable the alert sound when a text is successfully sent.
To disable the click sound, go to Settings > Sounds > Lock Sounds > Off.

Can't get rid of Annoying MobileMe Message!! Help!

Every time I start up Logic, I see a dialog box that reads as follows:
"*You are not logged on to your MobileMe account*.
+Please check your username and password in the MobileMe preference pane. You may also need to confirm keychain access to MobileMe.+"
How do I get rid of this!! I am NOT using MobileMe.
Any ideas?

apple menu --> System Preferences --> MobileMe --> Account --> Sign Out?
or delete your username in there?
Perhaps delete
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/MobileMeSyncClient/
and/or
/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobileme.configuration
/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobileme.queueddataclasses

How do I get rid of annoying popups even after the proper settings have been checked?

Popup blocker is on but I still get annoying popups. When I use Google Chrome I do not get any popups. I tried for hours to get rid of these and also have asked questions with no answers.....I guess if you people cant help I'll have to resort to making GOOGLE CHROME my default browser....thats how bad the popups are!

I don't play hearts, but I do play Solebon Solitaire. I play the iPhone version on my iPad, but I see that they have a pro version for the iPad.
http://www.solebon.com/
probably didn't buy it cause I already had one. Anyway, lots of games, actually programmed so that you can win every once in a while. I really like it.
For Hearts, I'd look at reviews and ratings. That often gives you an indication if the app is any good or not.

Can't get rid of Untitled DVD.fpbf after trying to write onto bad DVD

I apparenlty had a bad set of DVDs, which I discovered by having tried to back up some data onto them. Fair enough. But the problem occurs after the bad disc is discovered. When finder discovers (and reports) that the disc is bad, I am forever unable to "remove" the burn folder entries listed on the lower-left panel of the finder window. This happens for every disc fails, so I now have a list of these unremovable burn folders down there. I can't drag them to the trash can, and I can't open them (the error says the folder can't be found).
what now?

It seems to me there are only two possiblities:
1. The aborted burn folder actually still exists somewhere and so keeps reappearing, or
2. A permanent entry for it got recorded to the sidebar plist file even though the thing is actually gone
If it is there but no longer visible a search using something that sees invisibles, such as find in the Terminal or EasyFind should turn it up. If it exists only in the Sidebar's imagination, then removing
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist"
and logging out/in should get rid of the spurious entries.

How can I get rid of jaxws-engine threads after processing asyncHandler?

Hi,
this question evolved from forum thread
[t-5404241]
In the current JAX-WS 2.1 (from Netbeans 6.7.1) implementation I see the following behaviour / bug:
If you use the async Jax-WS API (AsyncHandler and Future) to send a SOAP request, there will be a thread named jaxws-engine-xx-thread and one unnamed
thread generated by Jax-WS. Both threads stay running for 60 seconds after the soap response is processed.
This leads to high memory consumption, if requests are made often.
Is there a way to stop these threads?
Stefan
