Formatting phone number: how to get rid of (...)?

I live in Romania, and Contacts incorrectly formats phone numbers of the type xxxx xxx xxx (10 digit, the national standard, out of which the first is zero) into (xxxx) xxx xxx, i.e. inserting brackets before the first and after the 4th digit respectively. This is wrong. The bug is seemingly banal, yet it has bad consequences: if phone numbers are exported to Android, some Android devices, not all, alas, cannot dial such numbers and the process is stopped. Well, this may be a bug in Android, nevertheless the problem exists.
A workaround is to choose another country as standard, e.g. Czech Republic. It works, but only for numbers added from that/this moment on, it does not remove (...) from the existing numbers.
Q: how can I remove those stupid brackets (....) from the existing phone numbers? I need a global solution, a script or something...
I reported the issue to Cupertino but they seem to be extremely slow, I do not understand why. Those brackets are incorrectly inserted, the national standards specifies a 10-digit number, out of which the first is zero, which is removed in case of international calls, and the prefix is added.

Self answer: I changed country at hazard to Czech Republic, and all the phone numbers have been meanwhile changed from the wrong format (xxxx) xxx xxx to the correct format 0 xxx xxx xxx
Praise be to hazard settings.
P.S. Yes, I marked myself with a green bingo.

There is no way for anyone on this forum to assist you. Apple will also not assist you. If you purchased the device thru ebay, file a claim. If you purchased it some other way, I'm sorry. there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

Lifeblog fills phone memory - how to get rid of it...

I recently started running out of phone memory, and even after deleting some files it fills up again in a couple of days. I had thought the problem was Sports Tracker, but it turns out to be "Lifeblog".
I used x-plore to look at the 160MB C:/ drive, and there is a hidden Lifeblog folder. Within this there is a file called "TextIndex.db" which is no less than 105MB!
**bleep** is going on here? I've never enabled lifeblog, I am in no way interested in such an application, so what's it doing using all my phone memory?
Also more to the point, how do I get rid of it? There doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall it given it's built-in. Alternatively is there a way to disable whatever it thinks it's doing.
Thanks for any help.

Ok I solved this but it wasn't easy - the only way to get rid of the oversized file and recover the phone was to re-flash the firmware.
The offending TextIndex.db is now 7K. Since I unchecked all the categories from LifeBlog I'm hoping it will stay that way.
This is a serious bug in LifeBlog that effectively bricks your phone, and in a way that's hard to detect unless you know how to look at hidden files/folders on the C: drive. I hope someone is looking into it.

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

You can't. That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused. Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others. I have no idea what is that. I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

How to get rid of song on phone?

this sounds like the dumbest question, but I can't figure out how to get rid of a certain song on my phone. It pops up on shuffle all the time, and I know I must have added it to a playlist at some point.
But I have a bunch of long playlists and I cannot find it in any of them!
How can I tell which playlist a certain song is on?
Thanks
Bob

OK -- so I actually called AppleCare about this. I went through 30 minutes on the phone with the entry-level guy, and he couldn't help. He actually wanted me to check 'manually manage music" and have iTunes wipe my phone, then I was going to have to reselect all my music! And that would not have even fixed the problem, I know. He was clueless but thankfully escalated me to a dude who solved this in 30 seconds.
I had to delete the song *from* the phone. Went to the Music App, under More->Purchased, and swiped left on the song and then could delete it.
So, because I bought the song on the phone, and it wasn't in a playlist, I was not able to remove it from iTunes. I had to do it on the phone.

Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences. But you only need to change a setting in one location.

If you're seeing a message in your web browser that your Mac is infected with a virus, and given a phone number to call for help, you're being scammed. There is no virus. See:

New item icon in iCal suddenly appears and don't how to get rid of it.

I have a little number 1 in my iCal next to my Home calendar on the left side of iCal. It resembles the little number 1 I'd get in the Mail program if I had one new email.
I have no idea where it came from and want it GONE. Can you help?

I just figured out how to get rid of the numbers. Click Notifications on the bottom left part of the Ical screen and some blank invitations will show up. Click one and a box shows up that gives you the option of deleting the Notification/Invitation. I did that for the 4 little boxes and the number is gone.

Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
It is quite easy.
Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
Some tips.
I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,

How to get rid of the default playlists?

Hello! I'm using an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.3 and I went into iTunes on my desktop computer and removed the default playlists (90's Music, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) and for some reason they won't go away on my phone. Before today they weren't on there and must have added themselves after I synced my new music. The playlists are not on iTunes anymore and there is no way to remove them via my iPhone. Does anyone know how to get rid of them???

Type about:config in as URL
Then search for "yahoo" in the long list that you see. I found 3 references. Right click each one and "reset". That stopped my problem of yahoo search showing up in each new tab. I too got dumped on by a so called safe installer and ended up with unwanted programs.
