How do I get rid of the speech icon on my desktop... circle with ESC in it

I want to make the Speech icon on my desktop disappear.
It is a circle with a microphone at the top, ESC in the middle and an arrow at the bottom.
How do I do this?

Try going to iTunes>Preferences>Store and unchecking "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".

How do I get rid of the iDisk icon from my desktop?

I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" with the latest version of Snow Leopard. My local hard drive icon was missing but thankfully I figured out how to get that back. However, I also have the blue iDisk icon on my desktop for which I have no use. How do I get rid of that icon? I trying ejecting it (Command-E) but to no avail.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Randy

The same thing happened to me, and I finally found the answer. I thought I'd post in case others had the same problem:
Snow Leopard has a new setting under System Preferences > MobileMe within the "iDisk" tab: there's a feature now called "iDisk Sync" that lets you create a virtual "DropBox" from your iDisk if this feature is turned on -- disabling it as a internet only drive.
If you turn this feature off, however, your iDisk will work as expected and allow you to mount / eject it.
Hope this helps!

How can I get rid of the speaker icon?!

The speaker icon (labeled "sound effects") started popping up for no reason in the middle of the screen. It remains on the highest volume. When I lower the volume it climbs right back up to the highest. I have all the latest updates installed. I don't want to do a complete reset because I would have to reinstall everything. Is there another way to make that icon disappear?
     There's another problem and maybe they are related. When the ipod runs on the battery only it gives a false reading. It shows the battery is almost completely depleted. However, as soon as I plug it in it shows 50% (it will charge completely if I leave it plugged in). Anyone want to take a crack at solving this?

% battery on an iPod is not accurate so what you seeing is not abnormal.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can I get rid of the calendar icon that's showing on the top right of my screen?

I can't figure out why the calendar icon is only showing when locked? When I unlock it it's not telling me I've missed anything and the icon isn't there so I can't figure out where's it coming from to delete it. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

How do I get rid of the black edges going around my TV with mac mini?

I'm using my moms account right now. Well anyway, my dad decided the other day that we should connect this mac mini we have to the tv to use as a media center for movies and music. I got it all hooked up in no time flat, but I'm having this problem with the video it is outputting. It's making this big black line around the edge of the screen, as if the image isn't big enough to cover the entire screen. This is really annoying when watching movies. I checked the apple solutions, and found the dumbest solution saying "Turn on over scan and then manually adjust the settings on your tv", which would completally screw up the image for anything else besides the mac mini plugged into the tv. Is there a way I can fix this? I got this program called "DisplayConfigX" to fix it, but I need to enter very specific information about my TV such as the horizontal frequency and aspect ratio, which of course the TV manual does not have in it. Can somebody help me out here? I'm sure many people have done this with their mac minies already. If it helps, my tv is a Sony Trinitron, model KV-36XBR250. It's difficult to find any detailed information on the TV on the net considering it was purchased in 1999. Thx!

If you have an older, PowerPC Mac mini and not the newer Intel one, I recommend you download and install ATI Displays 4.5.7 which can be found at the below link:
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folder ID=299
You will then find an extra panel in System Preferences... which will offer a lot more control over the video output to the Sony TV compared with the meager controls you get as standard from Mac OS X. Good luck.

How do I get rid of the 3D icon that is appearing on my screen?

There is another post about this but it isn't helpful.
There is an icon with a cube in it that is appearing in the upper left side of my screen. I can't find any way to turn it off. Every time I try to draw a square using the shape tool, it's in 3D. I don't want it to be in 3D, and I never turned this tool on in the first place. It's blocking my ability to get my work done. Can anyone help me figure it out?
Much appreciate any guidance.
Thanks!

Select the Perspective Grid Tool (Shift + P) and click on the X in the widget in the upper left. That will remove the Perspective Grid.

How can I get rid of the Firefox icon in the notifications tray? I don't mean just hiding it, I mean disabling or uninstalling it.

It's taking up space and memory, and I don't need it. For me, it's not useful in any way.

Strange, i never saw firefox icon in my notification tray, but to remove the icon do this:
First you need open the Registry Editor:
Go to Start, Execute, type "regedit":

or see this article:
*[http://pcsupport.about.com/od/registry/ht/open-registry-editor.htm How to open Editor Registry]
After...
In the follow window do this way:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
And in the right side of window delete two files:
*IconStrems
*PastIconsStream

How do I get rid of the cloud icon out of my iTunes for Windows!!

Hey, my request is really simple. I own no Apple products anymore and I'm down to using just one Apple product and now I have updated to the latest iTunes which I now regret hecause my podcast list was so much neater and simpler. I can't remove my old podcasts from my view as this cloud thingy has appeared. Can someone help me remove this icon and return to normal please? If it's not possible then I need to know and then I say farewell to Apple and hello to ANYTHING that can manage my podcasts and music without a cloud symbol. Please help.

Well, there is a way to do the similler.
By creating smartplaylist for podcast.
My iTunes language is not English, and for mac. so keyword can be little bit different from yours.
but
make smart play list as
+ 'Media Kind' as 'Podcast'
*if you want specific subscription then +album
*if you want un played list only, then + 'play count' as 0
then you'll see the list just in your computer.
anyway I'm not sure why the **** smart playlist of podcast cannot be shuffle.

How do I get rid of a Facebook icon and message?

When I power off my iMac or click “restart,” a fresh desktop screen appears.
After everything loads, I am left with a tiny Facebook icon in the top menu bar of your desktop screen, and a window suspended in the middle of your screen which invites me to sign up for Facebook.
At that moment, no applications are running, not even Safari.

YAY! I'm glad that made it go away. When anything weird is going on with my iPad or iPhone (or PC - not really needed with my Mac ), I find that a reset is my best friend!
Enjoy your new iPad! I love mine, and it's an oldie - iPad 1!
