How do I permanently delete a bookmark? Running 3.0.8

I am currently running 3.0.8. For unknown reasons I am unable to upgrade. I have several bookmarks that I am unable to permanently delete. I can delete them during my session but when I close and reopen Firefox the deleted bookmarks are still there.

Please do the following first of all. 
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
* Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'' 
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
* Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
Next, update the following. 
* Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ 
* Adobe Reader via http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO 
* Java via http://www.java.com/en/ 
If the problem persists after performing the above steps, please try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process. see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

How do i permanently delete some of the shortcuts that have ended up on my preferences like good becomes bad etc

I have some shortcuts on my keyboard settings I have repeatedly tried to get rid of - like good becomes replaced with bad - but they keep returning again. How do I permanently delete these and where?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How do I permanently delete a purchase?

How do I permanently delete a purchase?

i forget the details because its been awhile since i had a computer but....there is indeed a way to permanently delete files from itunes. what i recall of the method is this: itunes stores a record of your files in two places. you must delete the both of those to permanently delete the app (works for songs too).
this was on snow leo. im guessing (a) harder to get to those two places in the reborn os (i didnt try when i had a mac running lion. too busy solving keychain issues....) and (b) that its still the same when you do find those files.
sorry this is so vague but i wanted to note that its not impossible to do.

How do I permanently delete video files?

Perhaps you do not have permissions to move the file. Do a get info on a file you cannot delete. Open the details triangle. Report back.
This seems rather odd. Is the file on an internal or exernal disk?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
You should run disk utility to verify the disk and to update your permissions.
You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.

How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks. I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6. I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC. I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis.
I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email. I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner). They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox, one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business. I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address. I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder.
I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder. Some of the 'fixes' I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications. I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature. My Trash Folder also has 2 subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business. I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder. But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited. So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great. No more duplicated. But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail. I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted. How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail... nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail. You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail. There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though... you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

How can I permanently delete tracking cookies?

I was alarmed to read the series in the series in the Wall Street Journal ( www.wsj.com/wtk ) about flash cookies, trackers, and beacons. I had always set my preferences (in Firefox) to not accept cookies, changing that only when I came to a site that required cookies (like Facebook), but then choosing the option to not accept 3rd-party cookies, changing my preferences after the visit, and deleting cookies.
I installed the add-ons suggested by the WSJ and on this website (Adblock Plus, Better Privacy, Ghostery, PrivacyChoice TrackerWater, and Taco. There is nothing in my Library>Preferences>Macromedia file. I visited the Adobe website and followed their instructions to delete flash cookies. Yet I cannot get rid of the cookies!
I tried this experiment: when not connected to the internet, with cookies turned off, I deleted all cookies, closed Firefox, and lo and behold, 150 cookies (yes, I counted them) had re-created themselves!
How can I get rid of them permanently? Please don't give me any pablum about them being harmless, they help to streamline the ads being shown to me, etc. etc. I don't care about that. This is MY computer and I do not want anyone installing anything on it! It irks me that deleting cookies deletes the useful cookies -- cookies that I would chose to keep -- but keeps all these other ones.
Please, if anyone knows, how can I permanently delete these cookies?

Get the Add-on NoScript for Firefox.
http://noscript.net/
In addition, I always empty all cookies after a browsing session or at the end of the day. The worst is I have to log back in to some sites. You can't permanently eliminate the possibility of picking up a tracking cookie, but you can get rid of them if you pick one up. NoScript minimizes the chances of getting one, since you only allow the minimum scripts for a site to function. I suggest you start at the NS site and read about it. There's also a support forum which needs no registration. I won't have a lot of time today to explain much more.
Here what you do to completely eliminate Flash cookies. This works.
+"Delete your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder so you're starting from a clean, shared-object-free, slate.+
+Next, in your web browser visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html and under the Global Privacy Settings, click the button labeled "always deny" then "confirm" to prevent Flash from watching you through your webcam or listening to you over the computer's microphone. Technically speaking this isn't necessary, but it seems like a prudent move if you don't like the idea of web sites accessing these resources. Don't bother changing anything else in the Settings Manager because the other stuff pretty much involves what and how much can get saved on your computer, and we're going to answer those questions entirely different means.+
+Now navigate in the Finder back to your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder and and recursively lock every file and folder inside it. This should include macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol, macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys, macromedia.com/support/flashplayer, macromedia.com/support, macromedia.com/#SharedObjects/<random letters and numbers>, macromedia.com/#SharedObjects, and finally the macromedia.com folder itself.+
+That's it!+
+The cool thing about this is that Flash is convinced it can store this crap so everything works, but nothing is actually remembered by Flash. Or at least nothing is remembered between browser sessions. Flash apparently never tells sites attempting to store stuff that, even though storing is enabled, it doesn't actually work and nothing gets stored."+

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

How do I permanently delete a movie I downloaded from my itunes account?

I deleted a movie that I downloaded. Then when I signed in on a different computer the movie was there again. How can I permanently delete it from my account?

Hi, sophiaskoub.
Thank you for the question. The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer. See the first article on how to disable this feature. The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

How do I permanently delete a contact?

How do I permanently delete a contact? I've deleted in my contacts and his number still appears when I go to type a new message.

To completely remove it, you would have to restore your phone.
I've read in other threads that in due time, the number will eventually get deleted.
A work around is to use symbols or just other letters for that number, so that way when you type the name it won't show up.
