I cannot permanantly remove an add-on, even after troubleshooting.

I have been having difficulty deleting an add-on that I did not install in the first place. It is called "Plus-HD-1.2 0.93.199", and claims to be an extension that automatically sets YouTube videos to HD. It does not do that, and instead waits in stasis for a while and then turns random couplings of words into green links to who-knows where (I have not clicked on any in order to further prevent other problems). I figured out it was this add-on specifically by noting that I never installed it, combined with the fact the green links stopped after I disabled it.
I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps listed in the main sections devoted to clearing unwanted add-ons, as well as using my antivirus browser cleanup and completing a system restore to the furthest possible point. The only thing I have yet to do is reset my Firefox browser to original settings. No matter what I do, the add-on bypasses the blocking of unwanted add-ons, reinstalls itself, and turns on after every shutdown. I know that I was not the one to install it, because if I want a YouTube video set to HD, I set it to HD myself.
Please, what do I do to get rid of this? Is this a problem for anyone else?

Thank you very much! That seemed to do the trick.

If you do not have, or remember, the passcode for Restrictions, the only option available to you is to reset the device to factory settings via itunes.

Cannot see transported items in Queue, even after releasing them.

I cannot see transported items in Queue, even after releasing them. When Iam in transaction: SE09, I am able to see all the released objects, and the check marks next to each one which looks good...Where are these files? Under usr/sap/trans, they show up under logs with nothing in them except log data...Not in Cofiles & datafiles either.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Alan

Hello Jazz!
Our developer released them, and I will get more details from him. We can see them when in SE09/10. Just cannot see them in the import queue? Also can't find the files under: usr/sap/trans, except the logs???
We just want to find these files, and either zip them up, or put them on a CD for later use, and this project will wind down soon.
Any other suggestions on how we can find these files, as all exports normally show up in usr/sap/trans/data, and cofiles...but not in this case???.
Thanks Again,
Alan

How do I reestablish hotmail delivery to my iPhone and iPad after I have been locked out? I have reestablished service to my PC, but cannot get email on other devices, even after updating to new passwords.

Sometimes it is fruitless to try to "fix" a broken account on an iOS device. I would delete the account on both devices and then configure the account again from scratch.

Firefox cannot load websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!

Firefox cannot load ANY websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!
One day it was fine, and the next day it stopped working! I have tried everything suggested under the topic "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can."

You should e able to install FlashPlayer separately on IE and Firefox. So you may use Flash 11.3 on IE and 11.2 or 10.3 on Firefox.
Work from the administrator account. First of all sort out Firefox, use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall Flash before reinstalling 11.2 Afterwards check that IE is ok, the Uninstaller may have changed that so you may need to reinstall Flash on IE.
* see instructions in [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
You are apparently using an outdated Firefox 8. That is not secure you should update to the latest Release Firefox 13 (or within a day or so Firefox 14)
You may also encounter problems relating to use of RealPlayer software and that software may affect use of FlashPlayer 11.3
* see also [[Fix problems with RealPlayer add-ons]]
* a user ''blacksabath710'' recently posted a workaround in [/questions/931055] suggesting use of free software from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/
P.S.
When you finish set Firefox's FlashPlayer not to upgrade, and until this issue is resolved do not follow suggestions from Adobe, or Plugincheck etc. to upgrade Flash.
Use this test page form Adobe in each browser and account to check Flash is working ok
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
The test page will display version information and error messages or a Flash animation to prove flash is working.

Spotlight completely broken even after troubleshooting

Ok , i must say i HATE Spotlight. I always have, mainly because it never has worked fast enough for me, and has been problematic since day one.
Having said that I am still forced to use it to find things on my system but now it's completely broken. When I type in the Spotlight window, it hangs even after the first letter, like it usually does, but now it has added a new trick in that it refuses to find anything at all.
Fine. I'll force OSX to rebuild the database.
Go into terminal, type in the appropriate command that 100 billion posts in discussion say to do, and I get nothing. It does nothing. No rebuild. Nothing. I check Activity monitor to see if it's working. Nothing. This is also after I've trashed the prefs and Spotlight refuses to even build a new prefs file.
So, I go to System prefs, open the Spotlight tab, and try to drag my volume to the privacy window to get it to dump the dbase. The volume never shows up. Try adding it using the button. Nothing.
I trashed the Finder prefs too, and at least that fixed the problem with Finder locking up every time I did a Get Info on a file, but didn't help Spotlight at all.
One other minor good thing is, once I trashed the Spotlight prefs, at least now my system will reboot in under 5 minutes time, since I'm sure that Spotlight was the cause of that problem as well.
Dear Apple. Spotlight *****. In the meantime can someone offer other suggestions BESIDES reinstalling Tiger. Thanks.

Bryan,
I don't know about you but re-installing the entire OS should only be a desperate last measure. I haven't done it in years, and hope never to have to, since it would require at least a full day of my time, what with finding all the upgrades (on a dialup connection !!!), installing them, and then re- inputting all my data into the various places where it's needed. And yet that's what we now regularly find TIger users advised to do, just because of one dumb thing: Spotlight. And even if you DO go down this route and re-install Tiger, it's a sure bet something will go wrong again with Spotlight anyway.
ONe of the simplest, quickest things any computer user needs to do is find a file, any file, fast, and then get on with whatever it was they needed the file for. Apple seems to think we find the process so fascinating that we could spend the whole day doing it.
Try Easyfind instead of Spotlight. It's far from ideal but as things stand with the Mac OS, it's the only way to find your files.
You can download it from here
http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
Oh, BTW, did you know that in a desperate attempt to make Spotlight work, Apple decided that it won't index everything?
I hope Easyfind makes your life a little better

TS1424 What is the fix for an "error 4002" when trying to get access to my cds that I imported. I cannot reach any of my songs even after paying $24.99, getting the cloud and turning on Imatch. HELP!

How can I get access in Imatch to my own songs, several thousand, which I imported over the years. Also, when I try to re-import cds, Preferences, Import only works sporadically. Mainly, I want Itunes to repost the songs I imported from cds. Thanks.

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

Firefox won't install add-ons even after clean install

Add-on installation fails in one of the following ways:
1. Unexpected installation error -203, or
2. The add-on appears in the "Extensions" tab as "Not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3", even though it is.
Sometimes I get the first error, sometimes the second, but all attempts to install add-ons fail with one of them.
I have tried all the troubleshooting advice in the knowledge bases (e.g. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_-_Firefox#Unexpected_installation_error_-203) but with no success. I even did a clean reinstall of Firefox in a new directory (as described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox#On_Mac_OS_X) but the problem remains.
What else can I do?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I tried to install a new add-on. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.38 Safari/533.4

I have the same problem : impossible to install or update extensions; either by download (error -228) or by installing a local file (error -203). This is true for all situations : existing or new Firefox profile, different system users, etc.
I searched the kb, asked Google and so, but no solutions worked. The problem happens on all current versions of Firefox : stable, nightly,32 bits and 64 bits.

I am making heavy use of soft links on my systems : ~/Library/* (temp, cache, preferences, etc) is spread onto several physical volumes, and the filetree is done with soft links. No applications has any problem, except Firefox.

The rigt side of the window is cut such that I cannot access things on that side even after trying to resize it still cannot.

The right side of my window has been cut. Many efforts of resizing it have not helped. The left side is unusually larger.

Have you tried zooming [/questions/847465] or scrolling.
If you continue to have problems more information would help. Please answer in the current (or your own) thread:
* What display resolution are you using ?
* Exactly what is lost, and sides or top ?
* What does it affect, does it occur with blank pages, or only certain websites
*Maybe you could add a screenshot from
**firefox 4
**and firefox 5 so everyone can see what is happening.

I can't add songs, even after I delete songs. Only at 16.5 Gb

I had my computer reformatted so i had to get all my songs from my iPod and put them on my laptop. After I did that, I tried importing the whole music folder into iTunes but it stopped after 3151 and about 16.5 GB. I tried every way of adding songs. I tried left clicking and open with. I tried file and open file. I tried dragging the files onto iTunes. is there anything I am forgetting? Right now I am stuck with half of my music library in Itunes and half of it in media player.

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod

Cannot upload via fckeditor in CF9 even after JVM and config fix

Howdy,
This was working fine in CF8, but not in CF9.
I have added -Dcoldfusion.fckupload=true to the JVM arg list, and I can see it in the jvm.config file, and I've restarted the CF server.
I have set the Config.Enabled to a value that should evaluate to true when someone is logged in, and restarted the CF server a whole bunch more times.
Yet, when I click on the little yellow image in the toolbar, the Upload tab is still missing.
How do I enable file upload in CF 9?

i know this is an old thread but i'm guessing the problem has to do with new features in CF 9. i just ran a compatibility report against some code i'm migrating from cf7 to cf8 and fckeditor has a lot of custom functions which are now cf9 functions so they are colliding. if you run the compatibility report (from within cf administrator) you can see the issues and then from there it's a matter of find and replace in the code...... or upgrade to the ckeditor whcih doesn't appear to have any issues...

User data permanently saved on iPhone. Even after FULL 2 HOUR WIPE

Just got my 3G S and I restored my old iPhone 3G prior to selling it. After that I found that all my user data was saved on the phone. When I downloaded Pandora and opened it, my account info was saved and I auto-logged in.
I researched and found the FULL ERASE option inside the iPhone settings. So I performed the full erase, which takes about 2 hours. Then it restored again.
After that, I went into settings --> App store. My old account email was still there!! I changed it to a new email address and logged in. Then I downloaded Pandora again. SAME PROBLEM! AUTO-LOG IN!
So app store and pandora both had my old user info saved.
To say that I am frustrated, upset, and ready to die, is a gross understatement. My iTunes randomly lost it's entire music library as well. (All 13,000 + songs were missing and could not be found, yet the files are perfectly fine.)
This is never ending. How do I just wipe my phone?? Please help ;-(
Crying,
-Carlos-

Visited the Apple store today and they replaced the phone. They could not explain what was going on except for being a software issue.
They said if after restoring I have the same issue, you would have to restore the phone to new and re-install all apps and information manually from scratch.
I restored the phone from my backup, and all went well. No more slow LTE speeds, plus a new device.
The only thing I can think of that may have happened is updating carrier settings while updating the iOS at the same time. I thought it was normal because iTunes popped up the carrier update notification a few seconds later after starting the iOS 8 update.
The carrier update did have an option to cancel. I will definitely wait for the iOS update to complete before I update carrier settings next time.
I'm just wondering if my phone was out of warranty, and this happened, would Apple still replace the device?

I cannot permanantly remove an add-on, even after troubleshooting.
