I have an amazing number of duplicates - not photo - but other. How can I get rid of them? Virtually all kinds if data is duplicated often 20- to 50 times. The duplicates are bot restricted to any one kind of data.

How can I get rid of search history in Safari on my iPad?

When I highlight one to delete, the search kicks in. How can I get rid of the history?

You can go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data and then delete every bookmark and that should clear it temporarily, but it will only be temporary. As soon as you starting using the search again, then suggestions will appear again.
I think that I may have misread your question - if you want to clear all of the history - use the Clear History button in the upper right corner of the History window. You cannot delete one item at a time.

How do I get rid of the "This Connection is Untrusted" message?

I have used my firefox browser for 1 1/2 without any problems. Now all the sites I go to give me the warning message that "This Connection is Untrusted." I can no longer access email or my university website to see my grades- nothing works. Even when I click that I understand the risks and verify the certificate, I can still only get so far- but it's never all the way to where I need to be.

Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el for your help! It turns out it was a date and time issue. I'm glad to say it's all fixed now! Thanks again!

To stop the messages in iPhoto open the iPhoto preferences and remove all references to MM. Do the same in the system preferences

How do I get rid of "Apple Photo Streams.exe has stopped working" on Windows 7

The error message "Apple Photo Stream.exe has stopped working" keeps popping up when I start my PC which has a 64 bit Windows 7 OS. How do I get rid of this?

I saw that uninstalling and then reinstalling the iCloud control panel on your computer corrects it. I did this and it worked for a while but I'm getting it again. Any ideas?? Thanks!

How can I get rid of search.babylon in my address bar, I have tried everything?

when I open firefox, in the address bar comes search.babylon.com I have tried everything to get rid of it and can't. Please help

Unless you are a new computer user you may consider doing the above in a different order, and even avoiding the Reset Firefox step.
# Remove Babylon related and other unwanted software
#*see also [[Cannot uninstall an add-on]] and [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
#Try ''SearchReset''
#*SearchReset may not have a permanent effect unless rogue software is removed first.
#*Also I am not certain SearchReset deals with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file user.js] files if that was created or modified by Babylon etc
# Consider using FirefoxReset. Reset is quick and easy, BUT be aware it removes amongst other things all of your Firefox software extensions. You may wish to at least list them and their websites before you use Reset.
# If you are confident enough to create a new Firefox profile there may be better; none destructive methods; of sorting out such problems.

How Do I Get Rid Of Multiple Duplicates AND Relocate Numerous Files?

Basically I'm fed up of iTunes.
A couple of months ago, i had a problem with my itunes library due to a message regarding the iCloud. This practically deleted my whole iTunes library and forced me to relocate every single track, which took a lot longer than it needed to.
I was already annoyed with iTunes by this point, until yesterday around 1/3 of my tracks were still unlocated, however I could cope with this because I had the majority of my songs, despite this not being ideal.
Yesterday I was informed I needed to update my iPod, naturally I did. Then...this is when I start to get mad, my iPod crashed, then restored itself COMPLETELY back to factory settings, removing my songs and all my apps. I reopen my iTunes library to see that, that has also restored and NONE of my music is there.
Now, after a bit of fiddling, I have an iTunes library full of songs which have been duplicated twice or even three times, to add to it, hardly any are actually located. It's not just as simple as redownloading from iTunes, because I expect half my library is music from CDs. So now not only am I faced with trying to get rid of all the duplicates, I also have to locate all the songs (I have checked the preferences and redirected it to My Music > iTunes - basically what it should be) and I have to get rid of all the songs that I didn't want in the first place such as old songs that should be long gone off my iPod/Library from now.
If anyone could help, that would be great, because I'm so tired this time-consuming mess my iTunes has become.
Thanks in advance!

Broken Links
It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations within a media folder. For more details see this thread.
Duplicates
Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
I intend at some point to improve DeDuper so that when there are multiple duplicates, where at least one is connected to a file while others are missing, it can throw away the entries to any missing files, however the current version needs all duplicates to have been repaired first.

How do I get rid of second 169.254.x.x IPv4 address on Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86?

I'm sure this is an obvious one but can't figure it out.
I have a Winserver 2008 Sp2 (x86) DC with a static IP address allocated to its only NIC. It seems to have acquired a second 169.254.x.x address automatically which I can't get rid of and which intermittently causes DNS problems (and possibly other)
problems.
ipconfig results are shown below:

Any ideas as to how this might have happened and how I get rid of it (a simple re-boot doesn't do the job).

OK, I followed Syed's instructions. I noticed that under the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ there were two AdaptorGUIDs, but only one of them had any parameters.
I created the IPAutoConfigurationEnabled parameter for both these AdaptorGUIDs with a value of 0 as instructed and re-booted.
Here are the registry entries for the two AdaptorGUIDs:
After re-booting I did another ipconfig /all, and the APIPA address is still there! Here's the ipconfig output:

[it's a different APIPA address this time, but I guess it is randomly allocated].
Any further ideas for me?
Thanks

How do I get rid of the checkerboard grid on my files?

I have just bought an iMAC 21.5" and installed my CS3 photoshop program.
When I used it on my old iMAC 20" every file had a white background.
Now every file has a checkerboard pattern or grid -- very small. Drives me crazy.
They are also on the little thumbnails on the Layer list.
There must be a way to delete this "screen" "grid" but I cannot find it on VIEW or anywhere else.

Thanks for getting back to me!
My 7-year-old iMAC 20” blew up on Friday AM — CRACK!!! and smoke issued forth.
A techie friend suspected it was a power supply component
and hoped my HD & two External HDs survived the explosion. (They did.)
So I bought a new iMAC 21.5 and re-installed CS3 from disc.
Any new files I created since the CS3 re-install were fine (WHITE already clicked on.)
It was all my old PS files (hundreds of them) that Opened with the grid present
after the reinstall of CS3 in my new computer. They had not been created with a grid.
As an artist I was frantic as the checkerboard effect was impossible for me to work on
and simply adding a layer of white underneath did not resolve the layer thumbnail images
which were a strip (my files can be 600 layers) of tiny checkerboards.
          I have resolved the issue using this advice from an artist PS user friend:
          Go to Pref. in Photoshop — then Transparency & Gamut —
          I made the grey checks into white using Custom.
What I am now troubled with are the FONTs this CS3 re-install on my iMAC 21.5 has eliminated
causing me no end of work to fix. Six of my favourite fonts. Gone.
O well. Perhaps I will find I have been given beautiful new ones to play with.
Thanks again, Brett.

How do I get rid of white background in all the ios7 functions?

Ok, I downloaded the new IOS7 and all the backgrounds are pure white. Staring at the screen now is giving me an awful headache. How do I get some sort of darker color like a grey or black back ground so I can look at the screen?

You are not alone! I've been getting bad headaches as well and you are correct it is the over use of brilliant white. Its particularly bad with Notes and Calander.I asked at the Apple store in Manchester if there was a way of reverting back to iOS6 but it looks like I'm stuck with it.
It feels like Apple have broken my iPad!

How do I get rid of Mackeeper if I trashed the files?

I tried to download 'Media Player HD' and it was successful but it also downloaded Mackeeper, before using either application I panicked and ejected...something, then trashed all the files...I've rebooted my iMac since doing this but it appears to still be active in my Safari browser...Can someone please help foolish me?

It's not "MacKeeper." You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.
Then, 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.

How do I get rid of blurred text happens all the time now in Firefox web browser?

Even when I was registering for this forum the text was blurred and multicolored sometimes. Its very annoying and hard to see. This is all the time with Firexfox. Chrome and IE I have no such issues.
Also when I was taking an assessment test for a job application none of the answers took and I was told by the program that it was probably my browser. I used to use IE and never had any of these issues but changed to Firefox as I was informed that the security was better. All these issues have been frustrating to say the least.
Thanks, Rita

How can you get the summary/total line at the bottom of the finder window to show up?

I want to avoid having to select a hard disk, Get Info to see how much storage is left. This used to happen automatically in the summary line at the bottom of the Finder window. I don't see how to turn this on anymore.

How do I get rid of Search, I installed this program accidently as it claimed to be an update from firefox?

Search has taken over my home page and search page.
I understand that it is a malicious virus that is designed to send lots of adds and also invade the PC and find out personal details.
I accidentally installed this while working on wordpress.
I received several warnings that I needed this update.
When I clicked on the page I received a certificate from Norton that verified that this was safe.
I have uninstalled from the programs list in uninstall programs.
All help would be appreciated.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
You can also do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
