How do I get rid of Startnow?

Start now took over my Firefox a few weeks back. I was able to remove the toolbar as well as reset my home page but now every time I open a new tab it directs me to the Startnow search engine. How do I remove this? Thank you!!

Thank you so much jscher2000 I Reset my Firefox in the Troubleshooting section and all visible signs of Startnow are gone. Hope its not hiding in there anywhere

How do I get rid of "Startnow," which opens as my home page instead of google.

I got this virus when I tried to install VSL digital code to access a Netflix disc. Now, whenever I open my home page, Startnow comes up rather than google. How can I get rid of this malicious program and return to my original google homepage?????

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

How can I get rid of that row of icons below the bookmarks, which has Startnow on the left and Twitter on the right?

I sought help among the available articles. I was informed that right clicking on a vacant part of the toolbar would give me the option to delete or hide it. Doesn't seem to work with this one. In fact, right clicking anywhere on this row isn't working. If I right click the "startnow" icon, it takes me to that page. I really don't want this toolbar, as it wastes my desk space. How do I get rid of it?

Do you see that toolbar in View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options if the menu bar is hidden?
Can you attach a screenshot?

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

How do I get rid of the Firefox disc icon on my desktop?

Just updated Firefox... the disk icon shows up on my desktop every time I open the application, as does a window telling me to put Firefox in my applications folder, which I've already done. How can I get rid of these? Thanks!

If you have not tried this already, try this.
System Preference > Notifications
Select Calendar and uncheck the box beside "Badge app icon".

How do I get rid of the /welcome subdomain address from my website address?

My website cobbity.com redirects to cobbity.com/welcome when opened on home page, how can I get rid of this problem?
thanks in advance

Why is this a problem? It is perfectly normal - Welcome is the very first page of your website, so when someone enters your url, it will go to the first page of your site which happens to be http://www.cobbity.com/Welcome.html.
My own site is the same - my first page is welcome and when someone types in my url it goes to http://www.domain.com/Welcome.html. Normal.
Where are you publishing to? MobileMe or an external server such as GoDaddy? If MMe, then you can change the way in which you link your domain name to your site - rather than using CNAME forwarding, change it to masked web forwarding. If you use this, then you forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename and all that you will then see is http://www.domain.com for every single page if this is what you want?
Only problem with this is that people cannot bookmark individual pages of your site, just the whole site.
