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.

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

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.

This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

I've gone through Firefox's instructions, I've gone through the control panel, I even uninstalled flash player. But Yahoo is still there. I want it gone! How do I get rid of it???

How to get rid of "Untitled CD.fpbf"?

Hi, I own a 13" MacBook Pro and I recently tried to burn an audio disk. I have a couple questios.
First, how to I burn a disc that can play on older car cd players? I burnt one and tested it in my husband"s vehicle's mp3 cd player and it woud not even play on that. What format do the songs have to be in (wma???) and what am I doing wrong?!?
Second, ever since I tried to burn that frst disk, when I reboot my computer, I get an icon on the desktop that is a CD and it says "Untitled CD.fpbf". I know enough to guess that this is some kind of burn disk, but I do NOT want this to keep popping up every time! How do I get rid of it permanantly?
I appreciate any help! Thanks so much!

Create your own MP3 CDs
You can use iTunes to create CDs of music in MP3 format; the songs sound as good on the CD as they do in iTunes. (MP3 is a high-quality, Internet-standardencoding method.) You can listen to MP3 CDs you create on special consumer CD players or on your computer.
Before you burn a CD, you must create a playlist containing the songs you want on the CD. You can store more than 12 hours of music, or about 150 songs, on a 650 MB CD-R disc. (You can see the size of the selected playlist at the bottom of the iTunes window.) If you plan to play the CD only on your computer, you can use a CD-RW disc.
Hide stepsTo create an MP3 CD in iTunes:
Create a playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the disc, and make sure all the songs you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Insert a blank disc.
Choose File > “Burn Playlist to Disc.”If “Burn Playlist to Disc” doesn’t appear in the menu, it means that the playlist you’ve selected can’t be burned to a CD.
Choose MP3 CD as the Disc Format and click Burn.
If the playlist contains more songs than fit on a CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If your playlist includes songs in formats other than MP3, such as songs purchased from the iTunes Store, they aren’t burned to the CD.
Songs you download from the Internet may be of different quality because otherencoding formats were used.

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?

Bearshare was downloaded to our home computer. Now it has taken over my Firefox homepage and I can't get rid of it. I have tried changing the homepage via Tools, Options. Didnt work. Deleted the Bearshare app and cookies and web history. Still didnt work.

Tried resetting default setting via Firefox Safemode. Didnt work. Any suggestions.?
My situation is 2 home computers (Windows XP) sharing 1 modem, but have their own apps. Mozilla on the other computer is fine. Just this one which Bearshare was downloaded to.
It took over the Homepage in IE too, but I was able to change it using Internet Options.
The message which comes up when I try to change the Homepage is "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked"
Tks

You only get an alert stating "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" if you have security software or an extension that is protecting against such a change. Firefox doesn't do that by itself. If starting in [[Safe mode]] didn't help then that only leaves security software, so you need to look to see how you can allow a home page change.

I can't get rid of an AOL toolbar after updating Firefox

With the old version of firefox, I had an AOL toolbar. When I did the upgrade, a second AOL toolbar appeared. When I click the toolbar options point on the toolbar, an options menu drops. But when I click the uninstall choice---the toolbar does not remove. I just get more options to add on to the toolbar I am trying to remove.

Hi THIVELY,
Since applications from the app store are linked to the Apple ID - in this case your old email - used to purchase or obtain them, you will need to have the password to that Apple ID in order to update those apps. This article will tell you how to reset that password so you can continue to use that Apple ID -
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

What is the dialog box marked com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc? It has popped up and I can't get rid of it. I have tried every password I can think of.

This dialog box keeps popping up on my iMac. If I select cancel, it comes back. I reset my keychain yesterday because I couldn't get in. I chose a new password but it won't accept that. I've tried every password I've ever had for different Settings and am still getting no where. Another box has popped up. This one is AddressBookSourceSync wants to use the "login" keychain. I feel like I'm in a remake of "Groundhog's Day."

Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and whenever I try to open some apps I get this very annoying message: Connect to iTunes to use push notifications! How can I get rid of this? I have tried reset all settings but to no avail!

How can I fix this?

I had the same problem as well as problem signing in to both iMessage and Facetime (didn't want to activate my apple id).
I solved it by...
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and the most recent version of iOS installed on your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Click the File menu in iTunes, then select Devices > Back Up, and click on Back Up Now.
To make sure the backup is complete, open the iTunes Preferences menu and click on the Devices tab. The name of your phone and the time of backup should appear. Once verified, disconnect the phone from your computer.
Once you’re all backed up, turn on your new phone and complete the setup assistant. When you reach the screen that says Set Up iPhone, choose “Restore from iTunes Backup” and select the backup of your old phone you wish to use.
Connect your new phone to iTunes, select the backup of your old phone, and click Continue.
Wait until your phone has been fully restored before you use it. It will restart when ready.
Keep your phone connected to iTunes to sync any data that wasn’t stored in your backup (like apps, music and video). You can check which data is synced through the syncing tabs in iTunes.
Once backed up, you will still need to provide passwords for your email and voicemail, along with other synced accounts.
Took about an hour all in all but managed to keep everything including camera roll and messages etc.

Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

Below is from using a SIP build. It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:116 mode=20
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call. It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET! YAY!
m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues. The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722. It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it. It's fantastic.. The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings. Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS! It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost.. I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only. I'm a little leery about that at this point. If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
Sreekanth
Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build.. That was about the only thing I didn't try. I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.
