I have a file ".DS_Store" that is appearing everywhere . How do I get rid of it and what is it?

Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.

There is a large flashing advertisement at the top of pages that shouldn't have one, such as this Mozilla page. How can I get rid of this, and is it malware of some sort?

Hello Jim.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I have cleared all apps from my ipad. How do yo get rid of calendars and delete saved messages which is taking all mt storagw

I have cleared all apps but still not able to download a rented movie. The only spot where I have data stored is in saved messages andd calendars. Cannot find the saved messages and cannot delete calendars. Any other suggestions because this was a very stupid purchase if you only have enough storage for the standard apps.

Go to: Settings>General>Usage>and see what is eating up all of your memory. After you find what is eating up most of your memory just delete it thru:Settings>General>Usage. I would not think your calendars and messages would take up all of your memory.
Cheers,
Alec

''To fix home page...''
Type '''about:home''' into the location bar, and if that is what you want for a home page then
# Tools ("Alt + T") > Options > General
# When Firefox starts: Show my home Page
# Click on "Restore to default"
You can have any page you want for a home page, if you have another page in mind, see

TS4124 I have over 200+ songs that iTunes deems Ineligible, how do I get them on my devices? I own the CD's!

I have over 200+ songs that iTunes deems intelligible, how do I get them on my device?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to work out why they are ineligible, are they the wrong format, are the file sizes simply too large or is the data rate at which the audio was iencoded too low.

I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards, I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???

iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

I have something called Babylon which keeps coming up. How do I get rid of it, and most importantly mis it a risk to my computer ie a virus?

have a look at this thread:
[https://support.mozilla.org/sl/questions/672012?s=babylon&r=2&e=es&as=s how to delete babylon search which overrules Firefox]
If this does not help, search in SuMo for more on Babylon - there's more, but I guess the above ref should suffice.

Files "impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?

Hi,
I have on my desk files I didn't create, named 1CE18A00, C7DCF000, 8B0EC000, and when I throw them away I get the message "file impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?
They are marked as XLSX files, but they don't open when I double click on them.

You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

Go under settings, mail, contacts and calendars and then choose only to sync back 50 or 100 or 1000 mails. Chances are you don't really need the old ones on your device and it'll save room (I have mine set to 50)
