How do I fix my iCal? - Missing icons, black pop-ups and an useless to-do list.

Hey guys,
I'm new here even but I have been having this problem for some time now (I guess since I have been using and syncing with my iPhone, about 6 months ago). I already seached on the forum but didnt find a an answer that is satisfing.
My problem: In iCal, when I click on an event, the pop-up is almost totally black and therefor I cannot insert new text or select any options for that certain event. Also, some buttons in iCal lost their icons, which makes iCal even harder to use, and it even makes the To Do list useless.
The only answer on this forum that seemed to work for people with a simular problem was deleting iCal from their computer and installing a working version of iCal from another computer. And in this solution rises my problem: I don't have a second Mac, and I don't have any friends who own one.
I was really happy with iCal and I really want to start using it again, but as it seems, I don't see any way of fixing this problem on my own. Would/could somebody here please help me out?
Thanks in advance!

At the end of the day, it is still a PC. A Personal Computer.

[How-To] Possible Fixes For Disortions + Missing Icons

Hi There
I just finished watching the webcast, and decided to download the new iTunes and after installing it...I experienced what most of you had experienced as well. Disortions on ALL music playback (with an external Creative Sound Card AND with the built in sound card and notebook speakers).
Here are some methods to fix these issues manually:
1) Icon Problems
Go to your My Computer >> Local "C" Drive >> Program Files >> iTunes >> right click on the iTunes.exe and click create shortcut >> the new shortcut has the new icon image on it >> rename it to just iTunes (optional) >> drag it to your desktop and you're fine
2) Sound Disortions
Open Up QuickTime >> Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences >> Audio >> Sound Out:
Rate: 441.kHz
Size: 16 Bit
Click Apply (Don't bother trying to play a song in iTunes yet, it will sound the same) Once applied, click Okay, then quit QuickTime.
Once you have exitted QuickTime, Exit iTunes as well and ensure that both have been exitted properly. Close all active programs / including FireFox and then open up iTunes and try playing a song.
I am not an expert at this, I just happened to read othere members posts and followed the fixes and it worked for me.
The features including Gapless Playback all work for me and it is running smoothly for me now.
Have a nice day!

Hi,
I would suggest we try the registry key mentioned in this
article (Method 4) to configure Outlook to allow the connection to the mismatched domain name, and see if it works:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<var>xx</var>.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover\RedirectServers
Let me know if this doesn't work.

I am totally frustrated with Firefox and would like to know how to uninstall it. I am getting obscene pop-ups, and when I ask for specific information, other unrelated information pops us. I have had this for one day and don't like it.

Additionally, I cannot find my address book listed on any toolbar. I also put in the address for a site that I have previously gone to and get a page that says that the address can't be found. The address is that of a library. I am not pleased.
I currently have a pop-up from Wal-Mart that I cannot exit. It will NOT disappear no matter what I click. I will have to close down the computer totally to get rid of it.
Thanks.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12? [was: Help please =) ]

How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12?

Try this:
Duplicate the background layer, and convert this layer to black/white (ALT+CTRL+B)
Select the young lady's face, and place this on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
Open a Brightness/contrast layer at the top and group the top 2 layers (CTRL+G). Work the brightness and contrast sliders so that the 2 gray scale layers match as much as possible
Keep the face layer, but delete the duplicated grayscale layer below
Change the blending mode of the face layer to luminosity
With the eyedropper tool, sample color from the original skin
Open a blank layer at the top, and change blending mode to color
Paint over the face to match colors. Touch up additional spots as needed, e.g.hand
Add a levels adjustment layer and work the sliders below the histogram to best advantage
Sharpen slightly

As I replied in your duplicate thread, these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
You can contact iTunes support via this page :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How can I fix a document having a microsoft Word logo and a "PDF" file extention?

I am a subscriber to Adobe Create PDF. When I scan in documents from my HP 8600 all in one, it shows up in my computer with a pdf file extention, but with a microsoft WORD logo. I cannot simply open it with a double click and see a PDF adobe display. Instead I get a window generated from WORD that has garbage symbols and unreadable cybertext which I cannot convert. How can the be fixed?

Thanks, it worked.

Bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. what us it and how do I get rid of it

I gave bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. What is it and how do I get rid of it. Thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
