How to remove system preference my desk top and put back in the dock

How to get system perference back into Dock and off my main screen.

System Preferences belongs in the Applications folder.
Double click the hard drive icon. The Applications folder is right there. Drop the icon from the desktop into that folder. Then while that folder is still open, drag the System Preferences icon on to the left side of the dock, and drop it there.

I accidentally removed the trash can from the dock. Where do I find the trash app to put back on the dock

I accidently removed the trash can from the dock. Where do I find the trash app to put back on the dock?

I know this is pretty old but I wanted to add this for anyone else who might come across this thread.
I have PathFinder on my system and there is an option to add the "Remove from Dock" contextual menu items to the Finder and Trash. I accidetally removed the Trash icon, and to get it back do this:
1. Open Terminal.app from the "Utilities" folder in the main Applications folder. Or simply open Launchpad or Spotlight and start typing Terminal.
2. Copy and paste the below command exactly, be very careful with Terminal as it can cause terminal damage to your computer if used incorrectly.
killall Dock
Your Desktop background may flash and the Dock will disappear and will repear after a short pause.
You should now have your Finder and Trash icons back.
Hope this helps,

You'll need a MicroSD Card in the Voyager's Card slot. Copy the photos from the internal memory of your phone to the SD Card. Now you're ready to install the USB Drivers on your PC so you can connect your phone. Download the Drivers from Verizon's web site or go to http://www.lgforum.com/resources and under the Verizon section, download the "LG_USB_Drivers.." file and install the drivers on your PC. Next plug the Voyager into the USB port and from the "Tools" menu on the phone go to USB Connection and choose Mass Storage Mode and the SD cad in your phone will show up on your PC. You can now copy files to and from the Voyager.

How do remove an app from desk top?

Hoe do I remove an app from the desk top?

Hold your fingers down on the app icon until they all start to wiggle. You'll see a little white X in a red circle. Tap on it and the app should delete (there may be a 'are you sure?' dialogue box)
Tap the home button when you're done.
If the app in question is a bundled app, one that came on the iPad, it cannot be deleted.

How to retrieve songs in Itunes Purchase History and put back in my Library

I had an old computer that I was trying to update and it completely froze. Unable to save any programs, computer is now at the city dump. I bought a new computer and I am unable to rip the songs from my nano ipod and/or retrieve any of my music that I purchased. I have two nano ipods and one is now completely blank. I understand why and I am guarding the one that still has songs on it. I can see the songs in my Itunes purchase history. How can I get those songs downloaded back into my Library?

Hold shift and ctrl keys, WHILE HOLDING THEM connect the nano that is not blank to the PC. When iTUnes opens and list the nano let go of the keys. this stops an auto update.
In iTUnes goto edit>preferences>ipod and set it to "Manual Update" then goto the Advanced tab>general sub tab and make sure "Copy files added to the library to itunes music folder" is UNCHECKED then hit OK.
Now you can use third party programs like yamipod or podutil to copy all the songs back to the PC that are on the nano. Which program you use depends on if your itunes library is blank or not or if you want the playlist from your nano back on the PC. I'll walk you thru it when you post back on what you want

How do i take music from my Ipod and put back into my CPU.

I lost some music files on my i tunes, but i still have all of these songs on my i pod. How do i take the music off my Ipod and put it back into my i tunes. I have a PC using windows XP. I lost a total of 1381 songs. I lost these song by trying to down load Music into a T-Moble SideKick 3. I was told by the sales rep that the Sidekick 3 was, I tunes friendly. Yeah right!!!!
Bottom line is i just want to take what i have in my ipod and put it back into my PC. Can this be done? If so please help.

I am in the same predicament. My computer crashed and windows was destroyed. Windows has been reinstalled and my files were retrieved and stored in a backup harddrive. I also lost itunes and have reinstalled it but I have no music in my library and can't find my complete library in my retrieved files. I need to find out how to restore my itunes library from my ipod as well. I don't want to lose all my music on the ipod if I sync with itunes that has an empty library.

HT1414 How do I get iOS6 off my iPhone and put back iOS5.1.1??

On an iPhone4 that had iOS5.1.1 (and worked perfectly, by the way), I upgraded to iOS6 and that was when my iPhone 4 became just an iPod with short battery life.
How can I dump iOS6 and get iOS5.1.1 back on my iPhone 4?!
Help!

There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS.
Apple do not support downgrading.

How can I get Mavericks off my comp and go back to the old OS?

How to Check System Preference Settings with Time Machine

I just found and fixed a problem caused by a bad System Preference/Universal Access
setting and would like to go back in my Time Machine backup to see where the
error was made. I may have been too quick to blame the 10.5.3 update on the
problem so wanted to look back in time.
The problem is i don't know how to check System Preferences using the Time Machine.
Any suggestion?

If you're looking for specific settings, the short answer is you cannot. You can open the .plist files and try to find the specific option you're looking for, though it might not be too easy to decipher some of the contents of the .plist file. For the most part they're just lists of attributes and settings. For instance, here's a very small chunk of my Finder .plist file:
<key>All Images.cannedSearch</key>
<dict>
     <key>SidebarWidth</key>
     <integer>162</integer>
     <key>ToolbarVisible</key>
     <true/>
     <key>ViewHeight</key>
     <integer>1116</integer>
     <key>ViewStyle</key>
     <string>icnv</string>
     <key>WindowBounds</key>
     <dict>
          <key>bottom</key>
          <integer>1200</integer>
          <key>left</key>
          <integer>56</integer>
          <key>right</key>
          <integer>1920</integer>
          <key>top</key>
          <integer>84</integer>
     </dict>
</dict>
<key>AnimateInfoPanes</key>
<true/>
<key>AnimateSnapToGrid</key>
<string>true</string>
<key>AnimateWindowZoom</key>
<true/>
Each "key" is followed by an attribute, so for instance the "SideBar Width" key is given the "Width" integer attribute of 162. However, some keys have multiple entries, such as the "WindowBounds" key having sub-keys of "bottom", "left", "right", and "top".
These values are finder preferences, though are not accessible via the finder's preference settings. However, buried deep in the Finder's .plist file are some of the user-editable settings:
<key>ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop</key>
<true/>
<key>ShowMountedServersOnDesktop</key>
<true/>
<key>SidebarSearchesSectionDisclosedState</key>
<false/>
If you can find the attribute you're looking for, then that may help you narrow down which version of a .plist file to restore, though not all of them are straightforward legible text. Some have bizarre strings of seemingly random characters that only the application can interpret.

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones.
4. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes: Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
• Stop
• Leave original alone
• Update .....
• Default selection
• Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

When I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is running and I have to shut down the system

when I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is already running and I have to shut down my system and bring it back up and wait to log back in. It's quite frustrating.

Try Ctrl>ALT>DEL then click Start Task Manager, then find the process firefox.exe, then click end program, then try opening Firefox again.  done! If that doesn't work, then try re-installing Firefox or going to this link to safe mode area and click continue to safe mode and then try and exit, if this problem still occurs then disable extensions and plugins
