How can I remove notes from contacts in Address Book?
I have tried removing notes from the bottom part of my Address Book contacts, but when I highlight what I want to remove, and then press the delete button, the deleted portion disappears AND THEN REAPPEARS seconds later!
How can I delete these notes permanently?
There are two possibilities you can try:
1. Delete all your duplicate entries. You can try downloading and running this Applescript Remove Duplicates, which will create a group named Duplicates in Address Book, from which you should be able to delete those entries, by selecting the Group, then in the next column to the Right, select all the entries and choose Delete Cards from the Edit menu.
2. If that doesn't work, you can do this:
1. Quit Address Book if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and delete an of these files/folders you find there:
• ABPerson.skIndex
• ABPerson.skIndexInverted
• Address Book - xxxxx.abbu
• AddressBook.data
• AddressBook.data.beforesave
• AddressBook.data.previous
• Images
• LastImport.plist
3. Restart Address Book and see if the default cards are there (Apple card, and your Me card) and if all seems to be working correctly.

How can I delete all my contacts in Address Book?
I had syncing issues between my Entourage 2008 contacts, my Address Book contacts, and the PowerMac for Blackberry application. As a reference, I have around 5,000 contacts. I have solved the issue, but there is some collateral damage: read on.
Address Book duplicated my contacts two or three times, and it also created around 60,000 empty contacts. I have been able to clean the Entourage contacts, which only suffered from duplication but not from new empty entries.
I tried to delete the Address Book duplicate and empty entries. The easy way out, I thought, was to Select All and delete. It does not work. Given I have ended with around 80,000 contacts, after I Select All, and try to delete, the program hangs, and I have to Force Quit the Address Book application.
I tried to locate the Address Book file where contacts are stored, but I have not found an obvious name that would point to it, nor have I read anything about such file in the different discussion forums. So no success on this.
I have even used scripts in the past for deleting duplicates and merging contacts in Entourage, but I have not found one for Address Book that could take care of the massive number of empty entries with "No Name".
So, is there a way to delete all my contacts in Address Book?There are two possibilities you can try:

How can I remove Notes from my iCloud Inbox?
I have just enabled iCloud Mail on my Mac. As might be expected, my iCloud Notes started showing up in my iCloud Inbox. However, when I go to Accounts ==> iCloud ==> Mailbox Behaviors ==> Notes, and uncheck "Show notes in Inbox", attempt to exit, and select "Save changes...", I receive a pop-up message "Invalid Incoming Mail Server The 'Incoming Mail Server' field cannot be empty." Currently, the Incoming Mail Server field has an entry (not sure if I should write it out here) which is grayed out, and seems as though it can't be changed.
Previously, I was able to remove the Notes from my POP3 Inbox without a problem.
Help?
JKYou could manage your connected devices in iTunes on your computer: Menu bar: Store > Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Manage Devices. Here you could remove connected devices from your account.

How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it
If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. -

Re: safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in)
Jul 26, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to defconnect5)
I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
However, I did see two versions of Flash:
_Flash Player.plugin with old date
Flash Player.plugin with todays date
I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem. -
How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
Thanks!You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

How can I remove mistakes from my IPad contact list?
I made a few errors when entering some contacts. After editing them the old 'wrong' contacts appear in the TO area of an email and I have to make a careful scrutiny before choosing the name I wish to send to. How can I remove the erroneous contacts that appear when I begin to type a nickname?

It has nothign to do with correcting your Contacts.
The addresses are in the Mail app.
They will drop off eventually as you use new email addresses in Mail.
As noted, you can Restore to factory defaults. -
How can I remove something from my iTunes download list permanently?
Same as title: how can I remove something from my download list FOREVA! Why would I want to do this? Because it's a piece of poo free sampler from Best Buy that is effing huge, and terrible and I don't want it, ever (it's been stuck to my list since 08, and it must die). Every time I buy something I have to remember to go and remove that from my list, otherwise iTunes gets caught up downloading that thing, which is many times larger than any video/cd/app that I have ever downloaded on iTunes before. It wouldn't be as much an issue if I had a good ISP but I don't, so any non-apple employee people giving some smarmy "get better internets" advice need not apply.
Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
hello

but they stay in my purchased and start automatly when i connect to itunes store and going to crazy me
How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
(I want to delete all free apps and Books from my purchases.)
please help me
thank you.There is no way to do it. Others have asked for the very same thing that you are asking for, but currently it just cannot be done. You can't remover purchases from your Purchase History - you can hide them - but you can't delete them from the history.
You can delete the Apps from the iPad and you can delete them from iTunes on the computer. Delete them from iPad, delete them fromiTunes so that when you sync there is no chance that they will come back. Then hide the purchases. That's the best that you can do.
On the iPad, tap and hold down on the app icons until the X pops up. Tap the X to delete the apps.
In iTunes, clcik on Apps under the Library heading on the left. Right click on the apps that you want to delete and follow the prompts. -
