I have all the anti-tracking addons so when I found 5 downloads in my "my computer"download files I was puzzled so how can I remove these that got past the addons without deleting the whole folder?
about a week ago or more I added all the Firefox addons to prevent tracking on facebook and google then when I was sharing a picture from my "my documents" under the files in the "my downloads" on my desk top and I didn't download them. Is there a way to remove those files and prevent a third party from downloading to my files? I can not remove the folder as its the one with all my downloads like family pictures?
What were the names of the files? To my knowledge there is no way files can automatically download themselves unless they are told to do so by a addon, virus or malware. Are you sure another family member didn't download those files?
It may turn out the files are not dangerous.

How do I remove my iCloud account from an iPhone without deleting the account?
I need to know if there is any way to simply remove it from this iPhone, but not delete it.
The only button I can see on the iCloud screen at Settings -> iCloud is "delete account".
As I use this account for both iTunes and iCloud, pressing it is not a risk I want to take.
Thanks in advance.Don't worry - Delete Account just means that it is deleting it from the phone. Trust me I've done it a bunch of times with many accounts and they are all perfectly fine

Please help me in this, How can i add my outlook email to my ipad without useing the Exchange Service?
I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account. -
How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book
how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book
Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits: -
I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?
From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!
You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
Thanks for ur answers !You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

I have the new iPad . I don't know how my sister's apple ID was set. I have all under my iTunes account but when i need to update my apps, a different apple ID come up! how do i change that?
Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?
How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?
Leave Mail running, but close its window (click red dot or ⌘W).
Right-click the Mail icon and use "Options" to enable "Open at Login". In the "Login Items" tab of "Users & Groups" system preference, check the "Hide" box next to Mail so it doesn't open a window when starting. -
How can I sync my iPhone on my macbook air without deleting everything on my iPhone, How can I sync my iPhone on my macbook air without deleting everything on my iPhone
The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way. -
How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?
How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?
Have several wedding photos scanned into PS Elements that were printed by the pro, photography studio on a raised pattern paper. Would anyone know how to remove the honey comb type pattern so that the picture canbe printed flat on glossy color photo paper?
Any help would be greatfully appriciated.
Thanks,The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform. There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow. You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:
http://elementsplus.net/
Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
The pattern is much reduced. With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.
