Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

Take care,

There is a total of three. I have tried many different ways, but can't get rid of them. They are not bookmarked on Firefox, but in the past there was a person on this computer that used my 'side' of the home computer without authorization. I will try erasing history next, other than that, haven't the slightest idea of how to get rid of them. I don't go to those sites, and want them gone (as does my wife).
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

An application cannot be deleted, because it shows that it is open. How do I get rid of this? It will not allow it to be trashed.
1) Click on the Apple icon - top left of your screen
2) Select Force Quit
3) When new window drops down, select the application in question
4) Click on the Force Quit button on the bottom right of that window.
This has always worked for me. I hope it does for you. Good luck! -

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.1. 13inch late 2011 2.4 GHz DDR3 500 gig
AFter installing Yosemite and enabling Firevault my machine has become so slow it is unusable whilst encrypting is in progress.
It will not let me turn it off.
THe estimated time remaining has never revealed itself ... it has been encrypting now for 4 days and the guider has not moved from its one quarter position.
IT will not allow me to turn it off via CMD+R
I am absolutely stuck.
HELP!
I have removed the power save options and keep the computer on all the time now with the Firevault screen visible .. nothing speeds it up.
I regret enabling Firevault .. but it is so unforgiving for the uninformed ... like me.Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced. -

After getting the match program my iPod is trying to download my entire library from the cloud. I have too much music and not enough space so it is constantly running trying to download and I haven't figured out a way to stop the downloads so that I can get what I want. When trying to deselect the automatic downloads it slides back to on. Is there a way to stop this madness? I can't even listen to what music I do have on it.
Having automatic downloads on does not cause iTunes Match to automatically download your Match library to your device. It only causes new purchases made on another device with the same ID to automatically download to your device.
Try turning off iTunes Match on your device, then turn it back on. If it's still downloading unwanted media, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your ID, sign out, then sign back in. -
i need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update. I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space. How do I get rid of this?
iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

When I open my email account thru Firefox, there is a blinking message in my task bar stating that "lorainemihiril" sent me a message. I DO NOT know this person, I can't make it go away and I NEVER use instant messaging. How do I get rid of this??? Sometimes there is more than one of these flashing messages all with the same name.
Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.
