How do I get rid of a folder in my favorites lineup?

I have a folder that I placed in my favorites by accident. Now I can't figure out how to move it or delete it. How do I get rid of it and put it where I want it?
Thanks,

What I experience is 2 or 3 different grinding noises intermittently and slowness of internet with a lot of that little rainbow circle turning all the time. Does that make any sense?
That sounds like it may be a failing Hard Drive -- maybe grinding bearings. Much less likely, since you're getting beach balling and slowness, could be one of the fan motors is grinding. I'm thinking drive. It's NOT a virus or malware. Those sounds along with those symptoms, even on a PC/Windows, would indicate a failing drive is the likely culprit, not a virus.
Stop wasting your time with ClamX or any AV, looking for a virus. It's a likely a hardware problem.
Get the free demo of SMART Utility and let it check the drive.
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
Also, open up Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities. Select the drive, the top listing, look down at the bottom and see what it says for SMART Status. It will say failed or verified. If it says verified, it does not mean the drive is not failing. If it says failed, it can be relied on.
Also, have a listen:

You can also run the Hardware Test in extended. It will be on one of your Install discs. Boot to the test holding down the D key. Remove all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse.

How can i get rid of other folder on ipad

how can i get rid of other folder on ipad

You can't remove the "other" section on your iPad, iTunes and the iOS need this folder to store data during syncing for example, damaged data and for all things, that you can't access on your device.
You can reduce the size by restoring, if the folder grows to more than 1GB due to problems when you sync or download apps or photos.

When I use under file save page as a desktop icon firefox downloads 2 a icon and a folder, how do I get rid of the folder and just keep the icon like in I.E.

I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

How do I get rid of file folder with question mark at startup?

Following a force quit, at startup I get, first the startup audio followed by a profile of a file folder with a question mark on it.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Had the sudden appearence of a "books" folder that contains the Kindle app. How do I get rid of this folder and return to just the Kindle app icon on the screen?

I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?

Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app? Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder. Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it. If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder. To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

How can I get rid of directory path in front of my folder names in Folder listing in Library mode???

Im using the most recent version of Lightroom 5.3 (updated through CC - even though this has shown up on previous version) on Windows 7 and all the folders in my library are showing up with the directory path in front of my folder names. How can I get rid of this? I do not see any options in preferences to turn this off. I have also turned off preferences in Windows > Folder Options Control Panel "Display full Path in Title bar" option.
I have Lightroom on several computers and have set up preferences the same on each workstation, and this only shows up on one workstation.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can see from the image below how this is showing up.
Thanks
Thanks!

My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards, I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???

iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

I've just tried downloading two addons to try and fix this from the forum but one wasn't compatible with Firefox 28 and the other started downloading something very dodgy to do with .xpi file converters.
So any help would be great, thanks.

first you have an anti virus problem... duplicated message almost always occur through one of two reasons. Anti virus program barfs on a message (relatively common) Server side message corruption (becoming more common, particularly at Yahoo)
Turning off anti virus checking will generally allow the message that causes the issue to download. logging into the webmail portal and deleting what you think looks like the "next" message to download will usually fix corruption that causes duplication of downloads.
Now to the cleanup.
This add-on should do that for you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/?src=search

I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

How can I get rid of unwanted photos. As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone. When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos). In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone. To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections. If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.
