If it appeared because you were changing the Finder's preferences, change them back. If not, just delete the item.

  • Accidentally deleted a book from ibooks on my desktop. how can i restore it?

    is there any way to restore a deleted book bought on ibooks on my desktop. i can still see it on my ipad but not the desktop.

    If you bought the book using iTunes, simply open the iTunes Store (in the iTunes application, there is no standalone iBooks app on Mac or Windows), click on 'Books' in the list of content areas, then click on 'Purchased' in the right hand column towards the bottom of the top section in the 'Books Quick Links'.  You should then be able to see all the books you have purchased and redownload it by clicking the 'Download' button.  You need to be signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID that you used to purchase the book.
    If you bought the book using a different application, which application/store did you buy it from?

  • I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

    I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?  I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck.  I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck.   IOS 10.9.4

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.
    What happens if you run a print job, control click the printer icon>Options>Keep in Dock

  • When I put a website Icon on my desktop, how do I make firefox use the Icon native to that website instead of the default Firefox Icon?

    When I drag and drop a website onto my desktop, how can I make Firefox use the icon native to that website instead of the default firefox icon?
    I have even gone painstakingly (SEVERAL TIMES) to the sites with IE, dragged the site onto my desktop in order to obtain the site native icons for my desktop (and deleted the ones with the Firefox icon) .... but they all soon revert to the default Firefox icon.
    E X T R E M E L Y F R U S T R A T I N G !!!!!!!!!

    I don't want icons from the Firefox library.
    I want the icon that comes from the website I'm making the shortcut for.
    (If you go to a site in IE you will see the site generated icon at the left end of the URL in the address field.)
    If I make IE my default browser I am able to get (and keep) those icons as shortcuts on my desktop without a problem.
    I want to keep Firefox as my default browser.
    So I want to know how to make Firefox accept the icon that comes from the website like IE does.
    I have even gone to the trouble to use IE to create the shortcuts with the site specific icons.....but after I do that...... FIREFOX CONVERTS THEM TO THE FIREFOX DEFAULT ICON as soon as I re-boot or refresh my desktop.
    I generally prefer Firefox as a browser....but If there's no fix.....I'm going to dump Firefox.

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

  • I cant use my contacts in my iphone. the contacts icon dont open. How can I use it?

    i cant use my contacts in my iphone. the contacts icon dont open. How can I use it?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • I was part my macintosh hd in four volumes ..how can i re-arrange those parts in one macintosh hd volume

    i was part my macintosh hd in four volumes ..how can i re-arrange those parts in one macintosh hd volume

    Then  you have only one alternative. Remove the three partitions that do not have OS X installed on them.
    In the above illustration you see two partitions that lie below the OS X partition, Macintosh HD. You would delete the three partitions on your drive that lie below the topmost partition. Then you drag the triangular gadget in the lower right corner all the way to the bottom of the box. Click on the Apply button to then restore the drive to one partition.
    You can now use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition for you.

  • My new iMac with Yosemite displays photo icons with a white border.  How can I remove this border?

    How can I remove the white border/'frame' around the photo icons, which I store in folders other than iPhoto?
    My computer is an iMac 27" (Late 2014 5K Retina display) with Yosemite 10.10.3.
    The border does not exist on any photos /images created on my MacbookPro (Lion) or any earlier computers.  It appears after importing to the iMac and only then after saving in either Preview or Photoshop Elements.
    I have looked in all "Preferences" but could not find how to remove the border.
    Any advice will be gratefully received.

    Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
    This never happened before version 35.

  • Pls advise how can I remove the 'Loading' icon.

    I have purchased a app called Kids Song All - 220 and I have downloaded it in itune as it has exceeded 20MB. But currently my iphone been showing "Loading'. Pls advise how can I remove the icon.

    @cor-el: Thank you for your help. Got the issue fixed.
    For those who are interested in a quick fix for this, go under (user profile depending on what OS you are using)\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\chrome , create a css file named userChrome.css (you have an example there... ) and paste in this code :
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    #statusbar-display { display: none !important; }
    Not sure if it's really correct, but it removed that annoying Status-bar, so I'm satisfied with it.

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,
    Alex H.
