How do I remove a toolbar from a program that accidentally installed on mmy computer?

I was online today and a program I wanted installed on my computer changed all my firefox settings. I was able to reset my home page, but there is a huge toolbar I don't know how to get rid of. I can't find the program on my computer uninstall it. I'm not sure what to do to get rid of the program or the toolbar.
Thanks,
Karen

Usually you can disable or remove toolbars here:
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
If it there is a Disable button but not a Remove button, it usually means you have to return to the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to remove it.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that I don't want?

How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that was added when I downloaded software?

What is the name of the toolbar?
It depends on how the toolbar was installed:
*Some are controlled by settings in the application that installed it
*Some are simple extensions and can be un-installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
*Some are installed as programs and are un-installed in (Windows) Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought?

How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought? If a movie is on the wishlist that I don't own, I can hit remove. If I have bought it, then it has no way of being removed.
It's a bug that needs fixing.

Many thanks but that did not help. I have numerous movies in my ITunes account. I have downloaded a previously purchased film from my Icloud account onto my phone. Obviously, this takes up about 3gb of memory. I therefore, need to push this film back into the cloud thereby removing it from my device. The advice from the link you provided is to swipe the film and you will get a delete marker. You don't. When I go on videos and then films all I get is a list of films I have previously purchased on my ITunes account. I have swiped them every which way it is possible to swipe something but I still don't get a delete or remove button.

HT4915 How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud?

How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud? I don't want to remove the song from my library, just my iPhone.

If you're using iTunes Match, currently this is not possible. For some reason the ability to remove individual songs was removed with iOS 6. All you can do is delete all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage, tapping Music, swipping across All Music and tapping Delete), then redownload the music you want on your phone from iTunes Match.
If you're not using iTunes match you could try swipping across the title of the song and seeing if the option to Delete appears. Not sure if this is still possible for non-iTunes Match users.

How do I remove my icloud from a device that is no longer in my possesion?

how do I remove my iCloud calender from a PC that is no longer in my possesion?

Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase device, then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
Excerpt from:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone - Apple
Note this also applies to OSX devices. I am not sure if this feature extends to Windows PC devices with iCloud enabled.

HT201250 how do i remove all backups from another macbook that has been sold

How do i remove all backup data from time capsule for an old mac?

I have Finder set up to display any attached hard drives (done via Finder Preferences/Sidebar) where the hard drives are listed as devices. The hard drives are listed under "Shared" in the actual Finder sidebar. I selected the network hard drive containing the spare image bundle I want to delete which leads to whatever I named the next level which allows me to connect to/mount the hard drive, which shows the hard drive contents. I select the spare image bundle and select delete.
We may be into a terminology difference problem, which, gee people never have that problem :-)))))
What is confusing me is your use of "shared folder", but I think that may be the place to start if the folder is actually a hard drive. If not, try the devices. Looking at both shouldn't do any harm.
What you are looking for is something with whatever the name of your old computer was which when selected shows "Sparse Disk Image Bundle."
You may need whatever user name and password you had on your old computer to actually connect to/mount the hard drive.
Hopefully this is clearer than mud. I've had a few liquid refreshment glasses :-))

How can I remove an icon from my desktop that doesn't want to go?

I was unsuccessful in installing a particular program, so I thought I would just "wipe the slate clean" and try again. Unfortunately, the icon on my desktop doesn't want to go. Every time I try to move it into the TRASH, a note on the screen says, "The icon "iScrobbler" cannot be moved to the trash because it is open".
I've turned the computer off and on again, and I've tried the DELETE button, but the icon remains on my desktop. How can I remove it?

There can be many reasons why a file "doesn't want"
something. But you may be able to replace the file if
you can rename it. Follow the steps here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107426
If that doesn't help, you may need to delete it using
root user privileges. That's a very advanced and
risky method so you should consult with someone who
is experienced with that process. I have done it many
times to delete goofed files that have a mind of
their own.
It didn't work, I'm sorry to say, but thanks for the idea. As to the "root user privileges" method, I wouldn't even consider it. My computer "skills" are definitely not at the level for trying anything that could be described in those terms. Still, there is hope. I found the creator of the program and sent him an e-mail message this morning.
Finally, I'd like to thank you again for your extraordinary performance. Talk about "service above and beyond.." well, that certainly describes you. I somehow feel that if you couldn't...no, no, let's not say that, let's just hope that the program's creator will be able to help. Thanks again for what you have done.

How do I remove a character from the program output? please read/help

i have written a program that stores the names of all the students in my class in an array. To write the program, i use Scanner to incorporate a text file that contains the names of all the people in my class listed. the names in the text file are in the form: "last name, first name" so when i print the program the output comes out first name last name, the comma remains at the end of the last name and i need to know how to get rid of this comma in the program writing so that it doesn't appear once i print the program.
here's what i have:
   import java.util.Scanner;
   import java.io.File;
    class Enrollment{
       public static void main(String [] args)throws Exception{
         Person [] name = new Person [30];
         Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));
         while (sc.hasNext()){
            String lastName = sc.next();
            String firstName = sc.next();
            sc.nextLine();
            System.out.println("Name: " + firstName + " " + lastName);
   }the program prints in such a manner
John White,
Alfred Morriss,
Becky Downs,
how do i get rid of those commas at the end?

Substring is a method in the string class that is very usefull so be sure to check out the API an see what all you can do with it. Basicaly, it allows you to read specific sections of a string.
The way you use it is as such:
stringVariable.substring(x,y)With x being the starting point of the section you wish to keep and y being the ending point+1 . Keep in mind that when indexing a string the begining is 0 just as it is with an array.
For your situation, try this
lastName = lastName.substring(0,lastName.length()-1);Another thing you could try is StringBuffer, be sure to check it out in the API as it can be pretty usefull

How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

Hi empty,
Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....
Cheers,

How do I remove a movie from my Downloads that can't successfully download?

I tried to rent a movie and chose HD by mistake. I don't have enough room for it so it didn't download. I reported the problem and they refunded my money, but the movie is still sitting in my Downloads waiting to be downloaded. As a result, I can't rent it in SD. How do I get rid of it?
