  • How do I get rid of Ringer icon?

    How do I get rid of the Grey Ringer Icon on my ipad; it makes using the ipad a pain in the neck?

    Do you mean the icon in the middle that you see when  you adjust the volume? Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, until you see the silver apple and it reboots and see if that helps

    Is it a regular yellow mail icon?  If so, go to Messages.  Hit the menu key and select "View Saved Messages."  If there is nothing unread in there, do the same thing and select "View Folder" and check each and every folder until you find the message.

  • Is there a better way to get rid of desktop icons?

    My project has two things left: 1. get rid of desktop icons during the script 2. Ensure that windows don't open during the script.
    so for part one, I have the following:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool " & false
    the problem is I can't change the desktop background picture when I use the above script. Without it, I can but I have icons.
    The second issue is how I set up a handler in the event that windows open during the script, blocking the desktop-image message. I want to close all windows and keep them closed during the script. Here is what I have so far, but it doesn't work:
    on exists windows of processes where the visible is true
    tell application "Finder"
    set willey to get (windows where the (exists) is true) of processes where the visible is true
    set the exists of willey to false
    end tell
    end exists

    Even if you manage to change the static desktop picture, you're going to have to find a way to disable the dynamic desktop picture that many users will have activated. This "Change picture" feature is controlled by Dock.app, not Finder. If you quit or kill the Dock, the system automatically respawns it ad infinitum. The only way around that is to temporarily move or rename dock.app, which requires administrator privileges. I'm not particularly inclined to offer my password to prank apps, are you?
    If I were you I'd take a look at Salling Clicker. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out: In the Salling distro there is a neat freeware FBA called "SEC Helper" that lets you post Growl-like notices to the user, without the hassle of relying on a Growl install. It has a full-screen option that you can set up just like a slideshow.
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "SEC Helper"
    "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Plants/Petals.jpg"
    show screen picture data (read (POSIX file result as alias) as picture) with full screen
    end tell</pre>

  • How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

    I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

    If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks.<br />
    If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css<br />
    That is what I would do.
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon { display:none !important;}
    </nowiki></pre>

  • Disabled Yahoo icon. How do I get rid of the icon without hiding it?

    Okay so on my previous BB I had my work and Yahoo e-mail set up.  Later I disabled the Yahoo e-mail and I remember then it was tough to figure out how to do that and delete the icon.  I figured it out though.
    Now I synced to my new 8900 and the Yahoo icon is there again.  It's not receiving or sending e-mail which is fine, but how do I get rid of the icon without having to hide it?  I want it gone forever!
    Thanks!

    You must delete that yahoo email account from your carrier's BIS site:

  • Urgent help......can't get rid of adobe icon....

    Hello,
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
    In my utilities, i discover this
    There's that Adobe Flash Player Install Manager..........when i click this icon, it's asking
    me for my password.......which I straightaway click the cancel button, as from the news
    today, I know that's a malware. No installations made whatsoever.
    But I can never get rid of that icon above completely from the utilities, when i try to trash it,
    this comes up -
    What to do now? I'm afraid if i keyed in name and password, the opposite might
    happen.....as I don't want to install this adobe flash player......any solutions to my problem?
    Appreciate all the replies, thanks.

    If I click on the icon itself......this will come up
    When I click uninstall, also, same thing asking for password...... if i do so,
    I know I'm done....... when i click quit, it'll just close the window....
    Just couldn't figure out how to completely erase it out of my Mac 10.5.8 system....

  • Can't get rid of carbonite icon from menubar

    Got rid of carbonite and it no longer appears in my system preferences. However it is still in my menubar at the top right and it has an x through it. How do I get rid of that? Any help appreciated.

    When I couldn't find a Carbonite folder in Applications (I had previously trashed it) I Googled how to get rid
    of Carbonite icon and found a way to find the hidden Carbonite folder.
    I had to:  1/ Control click on Finder on the dock and select ‘Go to Folder’.
                   2/ Typed /Library/Application Support/ into the window that appears.
                   3/ There was the Carbonite folder with 4 documents in it.
    I moved the whole folder into AppZapper free demo application, and BOOM icon's gone.  I had to restart to see the icon was actually gone.  AppZapper is pretty cool too.

  • Can't get rid of an icon on my desktop

    I am unable to get rid of an icon on my iMac desktop. I am running OS X 10.2.8. It is a Word document. Every time I try to trash it, I get the following response:
    The item “X.doc” is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash.)
    Try again when the task is complete.
    Well, the task (whatever it is) never seems to be complete. How do I get rid of this sucker?

  • How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west)

    How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west) Comes on automatically since I use the bamboo tablet.
    thank you
    Amelia

    Not sure, but that might be the Rotate View Tool. However, that should only show up when the tool is actively being used (not just when it is selected). It could have something to do with multi-touch capabilities that the table may have (two finger rotation should allow the canvas to rotate), but that also shouldn't cause the compass to appear.
    A screen shot would help verify what you are seeing.

  • How to get rid of white icons on ipod touch 4th generation

    How do you get rid of white icons on the ipod touch 4th generation.  I tried resetting it already.
    Thanks,

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How do I get rid of Norton Icons in my system preferences?

    I'm having problems getting rid of Norton on my new MacBook Pro. I foolishly transferred applications from my old G4 with Migration assistant and it transferred my old Norton Internet Security which dates from 2003-2004. I deleted everything I could find, but my computer is still running slow and I get messages when I boot up that the various Norton programs can't open and I should reintall them. The Symantec uninstaller tool can't find any Norton applications on my computer and when I search the hard drive for Norton or Symantec I find nothing. Still, there are two icons on my System Preferences panel, and I'm wondering if I manage to remove these, it will get rid of the last wisps of Norton. Any ideas?

    Since it is a new machine, if I were you, I would do a full "Erase and Install" and start over.
    BTW, you should really be in a 10.5 or MacBook Pro forum.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

    How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
    It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
    Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
    I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

    Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.

  • How to get rid of annoying icon

    So I just installed an update to acrobat 9 standard and now there is a big pdf icon overlaying my desktop in the upper right corner. It appears to have  no purpose other than to annoy me. How do I get rid of it? I'm on Win 7.
    TIA

    If it's simply an icon, then try deleting it from the desktop.
