H E L P !  I did a really stupid thing....

I downloaded some of these extensions apple had on their web site yesterday to my iMac and they created an inch wide toolbar which is NOT what I wanted. I would like to delete these extensions but I can't find them anywhere. I've looked in my downloads and my application files, as well as my documents. I called apple support and they couldn't help me either. Please, is their anyone out there that can help me?

Hi,
If you installed apps from the Mac App Store just go to your Applications folder and move them to the Trash.
If you are referring to Safari Extensions, that's something else.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. You can uninstall Extensions from there.

  • I Did Something Really Stupid

    I need help. Desperately. I was trying to change my short name for my computer. Okay...stupid idea already, I know. So I changed the name of my home folder (from Betsy to Kate). So the only thing that happened was the name change. So then I change my mind and try to change it back to Betsy...then it says that the name Betsy is already used. I have no idea what that means. So I foolishly restart my computer and now everything is screwed up. I still have all of my old files under Machintosh HD > Users > Kate
    I'm freaking out right now, did I make a new user? How can I make everything the way it was? And just how badly did I screw up?
    Thank you for any help at all. I'm super scared that I'm going to lose everything!

  • I Did something really stupid, I spilled syrup on my keyboard is there anyway I can clean it out ?

    My little brother was handing me a plate and i wasn't paying attention and some of the syrup got into the keys. I was able to get some out but you can tell where the syrup is stuck. I really need help getting it out !

    Disassembling the MacBook Pro to even get to the keyboard (pretty much the whole MacBook needs to be taken apart) to clean only that component is not an easy task...I know first hand because I've done it (I have many years of building & maintaining PCs beginning from the early 80's).
    About the best thing you can do is make a free Genius Bar reservation to get an idea of the repair cost. If you have no warranty left, be prepared for some serious sticker-shock...$300 - $500 I would assume. They will replace the entire top-case (CNC machined Aluminum top case & keyboard)...this is why the repair is so expensive. The keyboard is literally screwed to the aluminum top case using some where around 100 teeny-tiny screws. Be aware that other components of the MacBook may be damaged as well.

    You also have the option of finding a local non-Apple repair facility. A repair will likely be cheaper there but any warranty you have left will by voided by going this route.

    Totally lost mom,

    There are different variants of names for this malware but the steps of removal should be the same unless it has advanced.

  • Have I done a really stupid thing?

    Hi
    On a whim, I recently purchased a 20" Apple Cinema Display on ebay. Whilst the listing said it was faulty owing to a damaged power supply - that had been 'professionally repaired' - I thought it would be a good buy and I could get the problem diagnosed and hopefully just replace the power supply.
    I won the auction and paid just £100 ($190) so I thought, even if I bought a new power supply, I would have a bargain.
    The display arrived this morning and, apart from a few cosmetic marks on the casing, it's in pretty good condition, the LCD is unmarked. However, the 'professional repair' of the power supply looks to be a joke and the power adapter has been replaced with a very cheap looking black plastic box. In addition the DVI(?) connector appears to have been dismantled and put back together with sellotape!
    I was under the impression that the power supply can simply be unplugged from the back of the display - a la my iMac - so I could test it using the power supply on a colleague's display in work, but this does not appear possible? (well, not easily anyway).
    So, getting to the point, has anyone ever replaced the power supply on an ACD and how much did it cost? Also, I was expecting there to be a plug for a wall power outlet? Does the screen just connect to the DVI output on my powerbook? Do I need to plug in any of the USB/FW connections?
    I realise I have been a bit naive buying 'sight unseen' but as I say it was on a whim - I don't even have a use for the display in mind at the moment. I'm usually the first person to say if something looks too good to be true it probably is, but I hope I haven't bought a complete waste of aluminium!
    Be gentle with me - I hope someone can reassure me it can be repaired.
    Many Thanks

    Yes unfortunately the cable to the display is not detachable, It would be very convenient but would also make for a very complex connector to accommodate DVI, USB, FIreWire and Power all at once !!
    I'm sure your actual display is ok... provided that cheap sounding power transformer hasn't fried it.
    The cables of a new cinema display look like this:
    http://images.apple.com/displays/images/designsidebarcable20060721.png
    from left to right: DVI, USB, FIreWire and Power on the far right.
    The Power connector is Apple's proprietary connection and plugs into the power transformer, which in turn plugs into the mains.
    So yes you should have a plug for a power outlet... (DVI doesn't power it). The USB and FireWire connectors don't have to be plugged in ... they just connect to the display to act as a hub with the ports on the back of the display... all that is required is the DVI and for the DIsplay to be powered.
    I wouldn't recommend using whatever power transformer they have given you... if you can i would recommend trying to find an original power brick from apple... does the power cable still have the apple connector or have they stripped it to fit their adapter?
    If the DVI connector looks that bad then you could get a new one and replace it yourself if your handy with the soldiering iron, just make sure you label the wires because theres a fair few. Or you might just want to open it up to check it's intact inside then seal it properly.

  • Did I REALLY mess up bad this time?

    I was trying to put something else on my almost full iPod. The first message I got said it did not have enough room but would put (sync) as much as it could. I thought, ok cool, let me try to squeeze a little more in there and when I get the new iPod I can just put what I want on it because everything will still be in iTunes already. (I am keeping my 60G Video for my grandkids for their songs and cartoons and putting all of my music, videos & movies on the new one.) When I tried to do it the second time, it gave me a message of it will create a new playlist that everything will be synced to now and created a new playlist that only had about 22G of audio. I freaked! So I deleted from iTunes all the cartoons, etc for the kids so I would have enough room for everything else. I then deleted the playlist it had created when it did it's other thing. When I tried to sync again, it told me that it could not do anything because the playlist was missing and now there is NOTHING on my iPod!! Everything is still on the computer and iTunes but ye old iPod is empty. PLEASE someone tell me how to rectify this. I was up until 2:30 AM with this thing and am really not happy right now. Thanks so much in advance. Tammy

    So you are synching with an empty playlist? That will empty your iPod.
    Refilling the the playlist with music of your choice should fix it or you could chose to manage your music manually - Right click on your iPod and choose iPod options.
    You could also use a smart playlist which has an option to limit its size to a certain number of MB - it's one of the Limit To options. There is iTunes help on smart play lists.

    Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

    Hi,
    I tried everythink, but same as before!
    - droppings ot the main screen
    - loosing Home Share
    now even on iPads !
    Frustrating!
    I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
    As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
    I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
    Tweety
    This is the mailbody I always use
    Hello all,
    Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
    - Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
    - streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
    This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
    I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
    Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
    As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
    Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
    - iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
    - second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
    - third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
    - fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
    - all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
    - 2 Apple TV second generation
    - 1 Apple TV first generation
    - 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
    - 2 iPads (second generation)
    all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
    At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
    I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
    Thanks for every effort in advanced.

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

    Every Mac comes with Preview .app in your Applications folder.
    You open multiple pdfs in Preview :
    +Menu > View > Sidebar > Show Sidebar > click on the thumbnail icon (little black squares) at the bottom of the sidebar+
    You can drag the thumbnails of your individual or more pages from one .pdf sidebar to the other or to or from the desktop.
    In Pages select an object, textbox, shape or table, by holding down the command key and clicking on the object edge.
    You can drag the corner around by again holding the command key down whilst pointing near a corner. The cursor turns into a curved arrow, drag the object around.
    Alternatively:
