How do I remove a setting added with 'serveradmin settings' ?

Okay. This is probably really simple, but I for the life of me can't find the terminal command to fix my mistake.
I was trying to change a serveradmin setting for addressbook in terminal, but I mis-typed the setting, so it created a new setting instead.
instead of:
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:DirectoryAddressBook:params...etc
I typed:
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:DirectorAddressBook:params...etc.
How do I delete the setting that I inadvertently created?

From the man page:
To delete an element of an array, use the "delete" value (eg.
web:Sites:arrayid:MySite = delete).
In your case:
serveradmin settings addressbook:DirectorAddressBook = delete
All command line utilities have man (manual) pages. If you are not familiar, all you have to do is "man <utility>". Space bar will take you forward one screen, "b" will take you back, "q" will quit.

How do I remove unwanted apps in the general settings of a iphone ?

How do I remove unwanted apps in the general settings of a iphone ?
I am not talking about apps that you touch and hold and can delete, but in the general setting area.
I never will use Nike, Twitter or any of the other apps that apple put in this phone.
I want them out of the general settings, so why cant I get them out. I own the phone not apple.

Many devices have extra information that you cannot remove. On other phones carriers can install a great deal of other information that is called bloatware. At least that cannot be done on the iPhone, but it does have its share of things that people want to remove. Again, the feedback link is where you need to address your thoughts.

How do I remove Adobe creative cloud with broken uninstall links

How do I remove creative cloud with broken uninstall links

Thanks Nitin but I don't want to delete Illustrator as it is installed as part of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and is under that licence, not the Creative Cloud licence. The version ends with a 0 which in another thread I was told by an Adobe person confirms it is perpetual licence version, not the CC version.
The CC installation has no installed apps under the CC licence.
Is there any way from the Adobe end that your records can confirm I am not using any part of the CC licence I have?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/921974]]</blockquote>
I know how to remove addons, but 'Open with Photoshop' is not removing itself:
I installed version 1.2 of 'Open with Photoshop', then i updated firefox, but the addon didn't work. There have been many updates for both firefox and 'Open with Photoshop' since then, but I can't upgrade or remove the addon to install the latest version and use it. how should i do this?
I have ended up with version 1.2 that wont remove, and version 2.2 floating between the list of installed and uninst6alled addons in the addons manager. Help please?!!!
It won't uninstall on nightly 13 (04/03/12) and firefox 10.0.2

How to repair SACL from single-user boot with 'serveradmin settings' (CLI)?

Hello!
Could anyone explain me in a step-by-step guide to repair/reset service access for local users (and group Administrators) because I can't login to the server when at the login window (GUI). Now I have only access to the OS using single-user mode at boot time (Cmd+S) or with “Mac OS X Server Install Disc” and the Terminal app inside.
I know that CLI ‘serveradmin settings info:????’ should help, but not sure how the proper syntax is typed so that I can login without the login window graphically bouncing when typing in the correct credentials.
Anyone care to help ?

If I understand right, the reason you can't log in anymore is that the Administrators group has been removed from the service access control list for the "Login Window" service (i.e. the ability to log into the desktop on the server itself). If I'm wrong about this, please clarify; these instructions may be irrelevant (and the second option I'll give may be actively destructive).
Anyway, the repair method I'd recommend is to install the server admin tools on another Mac (that you can log into). There's a copy of the installer on the Server Install DVD, or you can download the latest version from [http://support.apple.com/downloads] (the 10.6.5 version is [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1071]). Note that the admin tools can't be installed on older OS versions (e.g. if the Mac is running 10.6.4, you could install anything from the 10.6.0 to 10.6.4 tools, but not 10.6.5).
Once that's installed, run Server Admin, connect to the server, then select the server in the sidebar -> Access in the toolbar -> Services tab under that -> Login Window in the service list on the left, and either edit the allowed user&group list, or simply select "Allow all users and groups".
The other option is to use single-user mode. You cannot use serveradmin in this mode, because servermgrd isn't running (in fact, pretty much nothing is running); you'll have to do it "by hand".
1. Since you probably didn't shut the server down cleanly, the first task is to make sure the file structure on the boot volume is ok. Run the command "fsck -fy" to check (and repair) the volume. If it says "FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED", run it again as it may not have found & fixed all problems on the first pass. Keep running it until it says "The volume suchandso appears to be OK", or reports errors it can't fix (in which case you have more serious problems, and should deal with those first).
2. Once the file structure is verified, you need to enable write access to it to make changes. Run the command "mount -uw /". If it prints anything (other than another command prompt), something went wrong (make sure you included the final "/", and that it had a space before it).
3. Now, remove the access control group that's disabling access to the login window. This command is pretty long, and if you make any typos it may do something completely unfortunate, so type carefully and use tab completion: type part of a filename (get the capitalization right), then press tab and it'll try to fill in the rest for you; if it doesn't work, you either haven't typed enough of the filename for it to figure out what you mean, or you've made a typo. Anyway, the command is: "mv /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/groups/com.apple.access_loginwindow.plist /var/db".
4. At this point the access control should be gone. Use the command "exit" to get out of single-user mode, and bring up the full OS.

How do I remove a device from my iCloud Settings

I recently sold my iPad and restored the device in iTunes prior to selling it. The iPad no longer shows under Find My Phone on iCloud, but it is still displaying under iCloud Settings as one of my devices. How do I remove it so the new owner can use it on their iCloud account?

One person said that Apple support told them that it will automatically be removed when the new owner signed into a different iCloud account with it.

How do I remove a subview added using self.view addSubview ?

This is the initial code:
[self.view addSubview:newView];
OK, now the view is up.
Now...how to remove it ?
When I remove it...is the information [say there is a textfield in newView] still retain or gone for good ?

Bracer-J wrote:

To remove any subview, send it the removeFromSuperview message. Of course you can't make use of this message unless you know the address of the subview. There are two good ways to find the subview:
1) Assign a tag number, then remove the subview like this:
// MyController.m
UIView *subView = [self.view viewWithTag:NN];
[subView removeFromSuperview];
2) Save a pointer to the subview in an ivar:
// MyController.h
@interface MyController: UIViewController {
UITextField *subView;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UITextField *subView;
@end
When I remove it...is the information say there is a textfield in newView still retain or gone for good ?
In the first example, the only thing retaining the subview was the superview. In other words, addSubview retains, but if the subview hasn't been retained anyplace else, removeFromSubview releases it, and it's gone forever, taking its data with it.
But in the second example, the subview was retained by the ivar (by the setter declared in the @property). The subview can then be added and removed from the superview multiple times without being deallocated, since its retain count will remain above zero until it's released by the ivar.
So if you want to keep a text field (and its data) after removing it from the superview, use the second example.

How do I fix this setting issue with Adobe Reader X?

I'm trying to set up Adobe Reader X on a Windows 7 Professional system so I can push the image out to a companies server, and I'm testing all the apps with it too. I've installed Adobe Reader X after using their .msi editor to make it so all updates are auto-installed...but I'm looking at Settings with a non-admin account and they're still set to "Do not download or install updates automatically" I've changed this setting with the local admin, the domain admin and with the test user and it always reverts, for the test user, back to do not download. This is driving me crazy, does anyone know how to make the auto update option to stick for a non-admin!?

A non admin will not be able to update Adobe Reader when the UAC turned OFF. This is the intended behavior with the Updater service for Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
Please see the following document for more details: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Updater.pdf

My browser toolbar keeps defaulting to Ask instead of Google. Have deleted it, moved it and everytime I reboot there it is. How can I remove or set Google as default?

I am running Win7. On my screen, there is a field that lists the browsers available. The default seems to be Ask with the others listed, about 5. There is a button to move them according to preference so I move Google up to the top. Then there is also a button to Remove the ones I don't want to use. I have tried both of those and everytime I reboot or open up the Mozilla browser page it defauts back to Ask. How can I stop this from happening. Did read there is a workaround but not sure that is what I should do

There is a quick, clear guide for changing this on [http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/change-firefox-4-address-bar-search-engine-provider/ this page] as the dedicated search bar and the omnibar ''do'' have very different requirements for changing.

How can i remove the jump list (with "frequent", "tasks") that comes with firefox shortcut in the start menu?

im using windows 7. when i tried adding a firefox shortcut to the start menu (above the recently opened programs) it added some kind of a side menu that stores the frequent sites i visited, and have some "tasks".
i dont want it and i want to remove it.

*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set

How do you remove a desktop icon with out deleting the whole program?

i downloaded software online and it went into my application folder but instead of just the program the whole folder did with manuals and everything, so i copyed that to the desk top and then put the just the program back into the application folder. Now how do i delete the other one off the desktop, with out deleting the program,

If you removed the application from the folder of other files, then deleting the folder has no effect on the application file. However, you might check that the application doesn't require any of the files in that folder before you remove it. Drag it to the Trash, but don't Empty the Trash until you're sure the application works without it.
