How do I 'un-pin' a contact from the start menu of...

I screwed up and pinned a couple of contacts. Now their facebook image is one of the tiles on my main menu. Nothing I've tried seems to delete the pin. Anyone know how to do it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To unpin tiles, all you have to do is to long press the tile.After a few seconds, the tile will get highlighted and you will see a round unpin icon to the top right of that time.

How do I create a new contact from the same company as one I already have

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

I have some windows minimized. When I try to open up another window from the start menu, even the minimized windows open up.

When I first open up a window from the start menu, just one window opens up. But when others are at the bottom (minimized) and I go to open up a new window from the start menu, all the minimized windows open up, too.

How do I easily add a contact from the same company?

How do I easily add a new contact from the same company or family without having to enter all the same information on an existing contact card I already have?

Any card in your address book can be duplicated. Select the card within the Name column, and use the Edit > Copy menu item followed by the Edit > Paste menu item. Then you can update the card copy and only change the name/email/phone fields as needed.

How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?

How do I make songs always play from the start of the track?

I have an iphone 3GS and I have an issue. I'm sure there's a really obvious fix for this, but I can't work out what it is - can someone please help me!
So the issue is... my music always starts playing from wherever I last paused the track, no matter when I last paused it. I tend to shuffle through my music and skip tracks a lot, and so I always want my music to start from the beginning of the track. It's so annoying when I get to a track and it starts blaring from halfway through the chorus, because that's where I paused it when I listened to it last month....
Please could someone tell me how to fix this??
Thanks!

That is NOT normal... Restore phone! If that doesn't fix it take it to aan apple store and have them look at it! The only time the iPod app should ever start In The middle of a song is if you're playing the song you last paused!

How do I launch Organizer and Edit from the welcome menu of photoshop Elements 12?

I've been trying to get Adobe Photoshop Elements software to work on my computer since mid December. I've had alot of responses to different options, even from Adobe themselves, and nothing is working.
I get the Welcome Menu screen but when I click on either Organizer or Edit nothing happens. I am the administrator on my home computer and tried launching as administrator but nothing works.
I've tried launching it from "Program File" exe but nothing. When I do this I get this error message; "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
I've tried a Install Photoshop Elements in a simplified mode, nothing. I've shut down my firewall and virus program and then install, nothing.
Looks like I've stooped everyone. Now I can't even return it because the package is open.
Is there anyone out in cyber land that has a simple yet brilliant solution for me?
My computer is a 64-bit Operating System, Intel (R) Core i7 CPU, 869 @ 2.80GHz, Windows 7 Professional.

If the executable is not being recognized you must have an incomplete or faulty installation.
I would suggest uninstalling via the control panel (Add/Remove Programs) and then re-install again from a different source. You can use the link below for the free trial (it’s identical) and if you get it correctly installed, simply use your serial number to validate and make the product permanent.
The link starts with the Adobe Download Assistant. You then browse to the photography programs to select PSE12 to start the download. After the download completes, installation should commence automatically but you may need to double click on Setup to start it off.

How do I activate an HTML file from the tools menu?

I understand how to add a custom entry to the TestStand 4.0 Sequence editor using the TOOLS->CUSTOMIZE... menu selection, but I want to:
1) Activate an HTML page when the TOOLS menu option is selected
and
2) Provide the directory of the current sequence file to the HTML
and
3) Disable this new menu selection if the current sequence file has not been saved.

Thanks for the clarification of your suggestion. I have created a sequence with a single step: "Call Executable". In the Executable Pathname field I have specified iexplorer.exe. When I specify a specific HTML page in the Argument Expression field (i.e., "D:\Test.html") the sequence runs fine and properly activates IE showing the specified HTML file. If I just specify a directory in the Argument Expression field (i.e., "D:\Foo\Bar") the sequence runs fine and properly activates IE showing the specified directory.
However, when I put RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Path into the Argument Expression field, it doesn't show the directory. Do I have to do something special in order to get RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Path properly interpreted when the sequence is executed?

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).
