How to eliminate a tool bar that I do not want on my computer
There is a coupon tool bar that keeps popping up and I would like to eliminate it completely from FireFox when I open up FireFox.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

I have a blank tool bar that I can not remove.
I have a tool bar that has "Latest Headlines", "Most Visited" and "Getting Started". The rest of the bar is blank as well as a whole blank line beneath that one. How do I get read of the blank line?
That removes the "Latest Headlines", "Most Visited" and "Getting Started" buttons , but not the blank under them. I don't want to remove them, just the blank line.

Uninstall them by deleting them from the Library:
The plug-ins usually are installed in the Applications Support Folder -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins, either in your your User Library or in the System Library:

Read directions and can not find tool bar that allows me to authorize my new computer
Bought a new computer and somehow I can not find where to authorize the computer on my account. Read directions and can not find the tool bar they mention.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -

ELIMINATE COMMUNITY TOOL BAR MESSAGE
HI
PLEASE SOMEBODY KNOW HOW CAN I ELIMINATE COMMUNITY TOOL BAR MESSAGE ?
THIS MESSAGE APPEAR ALL TIME WHEN I START SAFARI BROWSER.That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
If you are running Lion:
From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the second item if it is there.
Now select Go to Folder again and enter /Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery. -

How to make a slide bar that controls opacity
I'm trying to figure out how to make a slide bar that would control opacity. If I were to take to pictures on top of each other, the slide bar would control the opasity of the top image. Thanks
can you make a slider that controls anything? if so, what's the range you can control?
ie, when the slider is at one extreme it causes some object to have value1 and when it's at the other extreme the object has value2. what value1, value2 can you handle? -
My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications. -
So, you don't support the Zigna tool bar that is used by millions of people?
So, you don't support the Zigna tool bar that is used by millions of people?
You have that "support" thing a bit backwards. Toolbar add-ons need to support particular versions of Firefox, not the other way around. Each add-on developer is responsible for keeping his add-on compatible with new versions of Firefox as they are released. That said, if it worked in Firefox 4, it should work in Firefox 5 - and probably needs a minor "bump" to get it working. Yiu can use this extension to give it that "bump". <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ <br />
This extension doesn't actually '''"fix"''' anything, it just allows add-ons to be enabled in a new version of Firefox for "testing compatibility" purposes.
If you skipped Firefox 4, and are talking about a Toolbar that last worked in Firefox 3.6.x - there is little chance that "bumping" compatibility is going help you, there were too many changes between Firefox 3.6.x and Firefox 4.0 and there's probably like a 2% chance that it will work in Firefox 5. -
yahoo is my home page. I updated to the new version of firefox per yahoo and now my tool bar has changed.
I want the old tool bar back? The old one had an X when I wanted to stop something (I just clicked on the X). Also, the old toolbar has a "home" that I clicked on and it went staight back to yahoo main pageNot sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.
Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!
