I can't get rid of an error box in mail. It has no close/minimise buttons

This is what it looks like and I would like to get rid of it but don't know how. It is preventing me sending any mail...Help!!!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I can't get rid of the error message

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from Blackberry's website. When I launch the Desktop manager I get this message: "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." The troubleshooting posts I've seen on this forum include many tips (the ones I've tried are below). One in particular I can't do is "The desktop manager is showing "disabled."
-Make sure that the user has gone into the desktop manager and selected options > connection settings > detect."
... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the options menu in the BB Desktop Manager.
I have tried the following:
uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
moved the cable to the USB port in the back (after trying both the ports in the front) of the computer
restarted the computer many times
hard booted the phone by removing the battery
plugged in, removed, and replugged in the phone.
Also:
The phone is installing correctly when I plug it in, but the software still doesn't seem to see it.
In the Device Manager, the BlackBerry is showing up under Portable Devices. Double-clicking on it gives me the reassurring "This device is working properly." message.
The Com1 port is working properly also, according to the Device Manager.
Double-clicking on the device manager icon to get the properties shows that the Com1 port is "disconnected" -- when I try to configure it it just pops back to the disconnected state.
If someone has an idea or something I haven't tried I'd sure appreciate it!!
Thanks!

Solved!

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

When starting Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message.

When starting up Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message?
The error message is: what happened: Type Error: Components. classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined.
It appears all the time already from the beginning after installing Firefox 4.

Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar created this problem. Another problem is: When searching on the web via Google, normally it is possible to type a few letters and then look what appears and then click on the wanted word(s). A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.

I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.

Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.

Can't get rid of .plist errors

Mac Pro 2008
Snow Leopard (with most recent software)
I am getting Preference errors when I run Drive Genius. It shows me these reoccurring .plist files (in red), and eventually I get an error message saying my drive has failed. I get the same thing when running the proprietary Disk Manager in Snow Leopard (that the drive has failed).
I remove the red-lettered .plist files, but the keep coming back. I also repair my drive with my Snow Leopard disk. I use the computer for music production, and nothing else (except itunes libraries). I don't connect to the internet unless I absolutely must, usually only for software updates.
Here are the .plist files that keep coming back:
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.conalcapital.writhen.plist: Unexpected character at line 1
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.gracleplc.selfsame.plist: Unexpected character at line 1
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.hewleyconsulting.command.plist: Unexpected character at line 1
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.Laneye.Evacuee.plist: Unexpected character at line 1

/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.tallbest.bibliographer.plist: Unexpected character at line 1
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.tellecpartners.techworks.plist: Unexpected character at line
How can I rid myself of these files and not allow them back onto my computer?
Thanks very much for your help!

U44m1p7 - Can't get rid of this error!

I have searched and followed every single suggestion I could find. I have totally uninstalled every single CC app on my computer (even used Revo Uninstaller to make sure everything was removed), run CCleaner, etc., etc., and no matter what I do, when I get Creative Cloud installed and install all my apps, they immediately announce there are updates available and ALL of them fail with this error.
Other than completely wiping out my entire system and starting over with a fresh intall of Windows, is there any way to get around this frustrating error?
It's really surprising that after uninstalling with Revo and cleaning my registry that this is continuing to happen.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

Matthew,
For the appearance shown you can:
1) Type>Create Outlines (and Ungroup if desried);
2) Colour each letter separately;
3) Cut letters with different colours (Y & R) and colour the snipoffs differently.
In 3) you may create a (straight) path and Object>Path>Divide Objects Below.
It is possible to obtain the same appearance with Live Type, but somewhat more clumsily and sillily.
I find the yellow letters a bit weak/hard to read, so I believe I should use a different colouring. You could use a gradient (soft or with hard stops, maybe blue>yellow or blue>yellow>blue) applied to each letter (which can easily be done with Live Type, just select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object and keep it selected while working with the gradient), or the dots could have alternating colours so the lettershapes were clearer.

How can I get rid of runtime error r6034

I have used itunes for windows for years now I am receiving a runtime errot r6034 & 1114. How do I get rid of there?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

How do I get rid of an error box that refuses to respond but blocks my scroll bar?

error box says browser settings change. I don't understand what it means, but I also cannot use the choices to get rid of this box, blocking my scroll!
it goes 30 sec to about a minute or 2 then returns. I did malware & Norton scan
& figured it would be gone. not.
It reads:
Browser settings change. (yellow yield sign)
An unknown change was detected on your browser’s search settings.
Pick one:
Keep my current settings
I am aware of this change and approve it.
You cannot click either choice to get rid of it, it just sits there
You cannot click the yes box nor the red ‘close’ box
Nothing works except to go back to
The firefox symbol at the bottom bar,
Then you can see – for example – all 4 firefox windows-
And from there you can click that close button & it goes away
For a short while.

hello bowes, this sounds a bit like malware. please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.

I can't get rid of iMesh search box - got rid of toolbar but not search box - it is not included in add-ons

I downloaded iMesh thinking it was just a normal music-streaming site. However, it downloads a toolbar and search box. I seemed to have deleted the toolbar with no problem. However, the search box is still there, to the right of the navigation box, and if I go to Tools - manage Add-ons, it is not listed there at all. Is there a way to remove the search box without uninstalling the program or is it better to uninstall it? My virus/anti-malware programs do not report any risks associated with the program and it is handy to find audio streams on the Internet, so I would keep it if it is not harmful. The search box is not causing any problems, I'm just concerned because it was put there without my agreement and does not seem to be removable from the Tools menu. I use Google or Norton Safesearch and would not use iMesh for general searches.

Hi Gnib, First go to start>control panel>add/remove Programs. In add/remove
programs there will be "Media Bar" once you click on it to remove it,then it says
remove "media bar 2.0". Get rid of that also. Now go into your "add-ons
and extensions". There will be something about the imesh toolbar. Uninstall
that. Go into start>programs. If imesh is there, delete that too.
If this doesn't work for you. Tell me what you first did to remove imesh.

Can't get rid of update notice box

Today, there is a box in the upper right-hand corner of my screen telling me that updates are ready to install. I do not want to update anything, but there is no option to delete this box, close it, ignore it, etc. The only options are: "Restart" (which will automatically install the updates) or "Later", which offers a number of options, but not "Never".
How do I get rid of this box, and how do I stop these updates (which apparently have downloaded themselves onto my computer without asking me) from proceeding?
Thanks

It was one of the last two Security Updates.
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Thanks to K.S.
I came across this thread which has what seems like a reasonable explanation:

Hi,
the ADF Faces component demo provides the following code sample to clean the message stack in such a case
     <af:resource type="javascript">
            * Clears messages for pairs of input components on the page.
            * If there is a validation error on the range of { Start Date, end Date }
            * we clear the message when user enters data in either since the
            * new values may pass validation. If the new values still do not pass
            * validation, they will be flagged on the server and redisplayed.
           function clearValidationMessage (event)
              var srcId = event.getSource().getClientId();
              var prefixLength = srcId.indexOf ("StartDate");
              if (prefixLength != -1)
                 var startDateId = srcId;
                 var endDateId = srcId.substring (0, prefixLength) + "EndDate";
              else
                 prefixLength = srcId.indexOf ("EndDate");
                 if (prefixLength == -1)
                   // Unable to guess the ids of the startdate, enddate pair
                   return;
                 var endDateId = srcId;
                 var startDateId = srcId.substring (0, prefixLength) + "StartDate";
             AdfPage.PAGE.clearMessages (startDateId);
             AdfPage.PAGE.clearMessages (endDateId);
         </af:resource> You need to change the component ID in the script and call it from an af:clientListener
