How can I get rid of all the useless junk in the new iTunes for Mac?

I'm sorry, but I've been using iTunes ever since it was introduced, and I LOATHE this latest version's (11.0.2.26) interface. Is there anyway I can configure it so that it's more like the nice & simple older versions?

Hi Bart,
I think I spoke to soon. I got 2 of your replies, back to back. Like I said, this sure isn't a user friendly site.
btw: Totally off topic. I'm sure you heard about Amanda Berry & the other two women being found after missing for 10 yrs.
Well, I just got an email today of Mr. Ramsey's (the man who rescued them), interview converted into a
song. Quite the catchy tune. It's a Hit. Here's the link.

Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.

I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars???

'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher

Change your home page to a non-firefox one. If you want google as your home page, do the following: 
#Go to google.com 
#Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General. 
#Make sure it says "Show My Home Page" in the dropdown menu at the top and then click the button called "Use Current Pages". 
I can't think what Mozilla is trying to achieve by displaying that childish junk.

You have probably downloaded the Norton program which is one of the least desirable helpmates you can invite in.

How can I get rid of all the 'adobe' sources listed when importing in Lightroom?

How can I get these files to eject/disappear? I have tried searching them in finder and can't find them? Thank you.

Those appear to be disk-image files (extension .DMG) somewhere on your hard drive, perhaps that are mounted as volumes and you need to eject or unmount them. They are likely installers downloaded from Adobe.

How can I get rid of that row of icons below the bookmarks, which has Startnow on the left and Twitter on the right?

I sought help among the available articles. I was informed that right clicking on a vacant part of the toolbar would give me the option to delete or hide it. Doesn't seem to work with this one. In fact, right clicking anywhere on this row isn't working. If I right click the "startnow" icon, it takes me to that page. I really don't want this toolbar, as it wastes my desk space. How do I get rid of it?

Do you see that toolbar in View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options if the menu bar is hidden?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

How can i get rid of all my "other" space? it takes up 1.47 gb.

My iPod has slowly accumulated 1.47 gb of "other" space. How do I get rid of it?

By restoring the iPod to factory defaults. Other can be made up by things such as album artwork, the iPod's operating system, etc. However, sometimes it can also include corrupt files or data that is no longer recognizable by iTunes or your iPod.

How can I get rid of this totaly useless gbp search window?

How do I get rid of the gbp toolbar home and gbp search box

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

How can i get rid of all of the "other" stuff on my ipod.

I can't get it and my ipod is over capacity because of the "other" stuff on there .

An other less that about 1 1/2 GB is normal.
If larger that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

How can I get rid of all of the duplicates in my contacts without having to go in one at at time?

Some of my contacts are listed 4-6 times...making my contact list over 8000! How can I streamline this without having the delete one at at time
PLUS how do I keep this from happening again.

Go in Settings. Then in "Itunes & AppStore". Deselect "Music" and "Videos" on top. This would solve the problem with the Music and Videofiles in the cloud, that you seem to see.
The music isn't actually on your iphone. It just shows you what is in the cloud.

HT1417 i have about 1000 songs in my library and about another 300 with the ! to the left of the song AND a bunch of duplicates. How can i get rid of all the songs with the ! and my duplicates and totally organize my library at the same time without check

everything in post

If the media is in the standard iTunes folder structure or something similar then I have a script called FindTracks that can often repair things. For more details on how it works see this thread.
For duplicates I have another script called DeDuper that cleans up, while preserving playlist membership, highest rating and merging play counts. Please heed the warning to backup first and review this background thread on what it does.
