How can i get rid of a black speck behind the screen?

Brand new, quad 2.8 GHZ Intel iMac. Beautiful. But has a black speck in the screen. How on earth would i get rid of this? I'm quite positive it's not on the screen. i've wiped it very firmly w/ the cloth provided. the thing is simply on the other side. Ideas?

Hi Peter,
If you can take it back to the Apple store (assuming you bought it from one). I had similar with a 24" iMac last year and they just replaced it there and then no questions, no arguing. They even transferred all my Data to the new machine. It was hassle free and I walked out of the store with a brand new replacement iMac set up like my original machine.
Don't try doing anything to it yourself if it is brand new, it will void your warranty.

How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do I get rid of it?

The developer of Classic Theme Restorer maintains a support thread over here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2827985
Sorry I can't help you myself, I am still using Firefox 28 while I try to Customize the 29-plus versions without resorting to using CTR. I have tried it, but I prefer doing my own "cobbles" rather than rely upon an extension that "restores" much what I didn't like about Firefox 4.0 thru 28 and overrides what I do like about Australis. IOW, CTR 'fixes' things about 90% opposite of what I would do, if I had the talent to do a "retro extension".
''IMO, the orange Firefox button was the worst thing that Mozilla has ever done to Firefox. The Menu bar worked fine before Firefox 4 came out and still does, it just doesn't have be showing all the time = Compact Menu and its' derivatives over the years was the 'ticket' for me starting from before Firefox was even named Firefox.''

How can I get rid of a small "thread" in the lower right corner of my new 27" Cinema Display?

I recently acquired a new 27" Cinema display. Yesterday I noticed a small thread like piece of debris under the glass on the lower right side of the display. Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of it? Take it to the Apple Store? Return it for a replacement (which might have the same issue).

How can I get rid of Apple Maps and Put the Google Maps back?

I wanted to know how to remove the Apple Maps and reinstall the Google Maps. The Apple Maps is a very inferior programme and not worth the space on the. Computer. It can't find anything. It's a complete waste of time.
So my original question is, how to get rid of it, and put the Google Maps back?

CHances are google maps are never coming back as part of the bundled OS. Apple and Google seem to have parted ways (possibly has something to do with Google having their apps on other devices from other manufacturers but no one knows for sure)
Since preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, the most you can do is ignore the icon, shove it back on a back menu page (I have a 4th menu page on my iPad containing nothing but the bundled apps I consider worthless. I just ignore that page and never go there) and then put a shortcut to google maps on your iPad or find a third party map app you like better.

How can I get rid of a type generated by the Data/Services return type wizard?

Hi All,
I have a JSON service that returns an object called "error". The Data/Services "Configure Return Type" wizard automatically turned this into a class "Error".
However, this caused over a hundred errors to show up inside the generated classes, "Call to a possibly undefined method Error." That's because of lines like this:
throw new Error(propertyName + " is not a data property of entity Agreements");
It's trying to throw a regular "Error" object, but now that there's an "Error" class in the same package, that is taking precedence--and that Error object doesn't have a constructor with a single parameter. At least, that's what I think is going on.
I tried to fix it by deleting _ErrorEntityMetadata.as, _Super_Error.as, and Error.as from the valueObjects package. I then opened the FML file and deleted the definition for the entity "Error" and every reference to the Error entity (class) in my FML file.
I then changed my JSON service so that it returns an object called "serviceError" instead of just "error".
But, whenever I re-run the "Configure Return Type" wizard, it regenerates the Error class, even though I've deleted it from everywhere I can find it. That breaks my project completely! How can I end this and get Flash Builder to *stop* generating this type!
In the "Configure Return Type" wizard I very carefully inspected the type of every bit of data coming back to make sure none of them show up as type "Error." And they don't (as expected, since I changed the object's name to serviceError--now the type of that object is ServiceError.

I think you are facing this known issue https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-29770
Please vote it.
Thanks for the link--I just voted for it.
To avoid this, in the last page of "Configure Return Type", edit return type name to something else (You can also edit subnodes's name too in the wizard).
Actually, that's exactly what I saw doing; I apologize if that wasn't clear in my post.
I closed and restarted Flash Builder, and once I did that Flash Builder stopped generating the Error class. My guess is that the FML file, even though I had updated it (by deleting all references to the Error class), was cached in some fashion by Flash Builder, and restarting Flash Builder forced it to reread the FML file?
Additional point of clarification: my understanding is that the FML file stores all the metadata about the services that Flash Builder has been able to figure out so far, and when you run the Configure Return Type wizard, it will regenerate *every* type in the FML file, even if that type is not mentioned anywhere in the particular return value that you are working with.
Edited to provide additional thoughts on FML file.

HT1920 I was recently asked for account info on an account that used an email address that had been hacked. how can I get rid of this account record or the account itself.

I was recently asked for a password for an email on the App store. The email was very old and was one that was hacked so I removed it from my email list. Now I have no record of the account, its password or security questions, and obviously I can't receive email on the account. How can I eliminate this account. I may have already divulged ninfo to this address that could get into the hands of a hacker.

Email size limits are imposed by mail providers, not the operating system. They usually vary in the 20-25 MB range.
The limit is for an individual email plus any attachments it may have. The only way to release that email message is to reduce the size of the attachment if you can do so. The limitation itself is from your email provider so there isn't anything you can do to change the limit.

How can I get rid of these grey lines in the background of my pages documents?

I bought an app out of the store that game me new templates to use in pages. I used one of the templates in making invitations for my little cousins birthday party but now there are these grey lines in the background that I cant get to go away. any suggestiions?
thanks!

"the store", "these grey lines"? You realise we can't see what you see. Could you describe the problem and the templates better? If you bought the templates from the MAS, which ones are they?
Perhaps they are just locked objects.
Can you click on them?

Is your Mac still under warranty? It sounds like a hardware failure.

How can I get rid of those annoying icons on the side of each Safari page for 'sharing' to Facebook, etc?

When I open a page in Safari, there is a bar to the left side that obscures some of the text on the page. It contains icons for different ways of sharing a page, such as Facebook, tweet etc. I would like to make them go away. But they seem stuck there.

I couldn't agree with you more! I just reposted the question, hoping someone will know how to say "adios" to them!
