How do I get rid of a toolbar with bing, weather, similar sites, etc? I don't want it.

There suddenly appeared a toolbar on my browser that was not there before. It has - I think they are "apps". There are such things as a radio station button, the weather, facebook, bing, and so on. I do not want this toolbar at all. I don't make use of it, and it slows things down... not to mention the fact that it makes my viewing window that much smaller. Please, how do I get rid of it entirely? All I want is the navigation bar and the tabs that were there when I first downloaded FireFox. I've tried to uninstall them via the tools menu, but it appears I can't. I even tried reinstalling the browser, and that didn't work. Attempts to follow directions posted on various sites as to how to remove them have not worked either.
I realize this question does not exactly fit the category, but I couldn't find one closer.
Thanks
Michael

How do I get rid of ask toolbar?

how do I get rid og ask toolbar?

Hi mchenno - the Ask Toolbar isn't compatible with OS X, so it's more likely you've installed a browser add-on that also offered the Ask default homepage or default new tab. This would be remedied by either changing your settings within that particular extension, or removing it altogether. A lot more information and instructions are available in Ask's Help Center. Feel free to get in touch with the Ask team if you need any additional help.

How do I get rid of "Server responded with an error"?

How do I get rid of "Server responded with an error" in Calendar? Calendar is frozen and Calendar menu will not allow preferences or quit.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
Step 1
From the Calendar menu bar, select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Then check the box again. Test.
Step 2
Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
Step 3
If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
Step 4
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How do I get my money back from an iCluod storage plan upgrade that I don't want?

You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see

and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

How do you get rid of yellow triangular with ! in middle that appear against some of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar?

I have yellow triangles next to some of my icons in my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. They have an exclamation mafrk in them. It probably happens when there is difficulty connecting to them. But they hang around. How do you get rid of them even when the bookmark works fine? I have FF 4.0 on a Snow Leopard Mac.

This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

hello ewinsberg, please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

How do I get rid of yahoo toolbar and get back my orange firefox button in the upper left corner of screen so I can use my stuff again?

Yahoo toolbar suddenly imposed itself as my log on screen whenever I booted up my computer and clicked on Firefox. Now I can't get to my bookmarks even though it told me that if I activated the new bookmark system it would transfer my old ones. It didn't happen. The toolbar has no bar for typing in a www.http address. I cannot use it and don't want it. I am using Explorer just so I can access my bookmark address, but don't like Explorer. I want my old Firefox screen back that has the little orange button in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get there? My computer use has been highly curtailed by this unrequested invasion!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

How do I get rid of yahoo toolbar?

I hate yahoo toolbar make it so I can get rid of it.

In the past, I have seen it in the Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or it may be in your add-ons in Tools menu, either as a plugin or an extension.
Do a sweep of your computer with AdwCleaner, which you download and run. AdwCleaner was written by a 16-year-old boy and it does a fantastic job. I've used MalwareBytes Free.
Also run your anti-Virus (Avast! offers a PUPs search for "Potentially Unwanted Programs." Look for that feature in any number of free Anti-Malware scanners too.
Be ever so careful that you uncheck all the bundled software installs that come with updates for Java, for Adobe products, for many free download programs that you get from the likes of Cnet Download dot com. You want to avoid
