If you have Apple Care call them. If not and you want a "do-it-yourself" fix, do a Google search, see Youtube's "How to" video tutorials and Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

If you do not want to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion, you should at least udate Leopard. Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated showing up in SU which I know must be a whole lot of stuff!!!!

I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.

I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.
I wish I could share the two screen shots I took, but this question site doesn't have the option, so I guess I'll describe where Bing is showing up.
In the left hand of my browser, just to the right of the back and forward arrows, there is speech bubble with a black eye ball or something. I found out it's Bing-related by clicking on it. There is no option to remove it with either left or right clicking on it.
Also, in the right hand corner of my browser, at the very end of all my tabs, there is a white rectangular box with an orange "b" and a magnifying glass symbol. It will not respond to anything I try to do to it either, but if clicked it opens a new tab with a Bing search dialogue box.
Finally, any new tab I open automatically opens to the Bing search dialogue box (versus Google).
I need to get specific, step-by-step instructions for removing this Bing stuff from my computer. As I said, I have already gone through all steps outlined in the article I mentioned above as well as not been able to locate Bing in my control panel.
Please help. I'm certain others are having this same issue. I use Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks.

Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...

Why do I have grey 'Mac' window bars when a document is floating, and how do I get rid of them?

This is really annoying, as I'm used to working with the new black 'tabbed' look, but I find my PS now looks like this screen grab. How do I switch back to the black tabbed look for floating windows, rather than the Mac traffic lights?

I have Photoshop CC 2014 in Yosemite as well.
If your Interface Preferences have "Open Documents in Tabbed Windows" checkmarked, it should do that without fail unless you uncheck the Application Frame ((under Window menu in PS) in which case documents open in Windows.
Floating document windows will always have the gray bar, no matter the Color Theme you choose in Photoshop unlike Windows 7.
However if you go in Mac System Preference > General and choose "Graphite" under appearance, it will turn off the "traffic light" look and leave you with gray/white window control buttons.
If you minimize Photoshop in Windows, both PS and the Document Window will minimize, but in the Mac version, you can independently minimize the document window and the PS app. As far as I can see, there is nothing malfunctioning. Each OS has its' own way.

I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar

# Click the pinned icon to launch Firefox.
# Right-click the pinned icon and choose "Unpin this program from taskbar".
# Right-click the Firefox icon and choose "Pin this program to taskbar".

I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. After upgrading to Firefox 9 when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar.

* Installed Firefox 9
* I am running Windows 7 64-bit
* I have Firefox pinned to the task bar.
* When Firefox opens, there is a new icon that opens up on the task bar. Normally, Firefox would open within the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
* When I close Firefox, the extra icon goes away.
* Firefox is acting like the icon that is pinned to the task bar is not even there.

Before attempting the steps below, I would highly suggest you visit the latest known issues for the current version, specifically FF 9 release notes.
See:
[[Latest Firefox issues]]
1. Unpin the old firefox icon
2. Go to c:\Program File (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
3. Double click on "firefox.exe" (FF window & icon will appear in supertaskbar)
4. Pin this new icon by right clicking > Pin to Taskbar (Firefox Icon turns into whitebox)
5. Make sure that you see the hidden folders
[[windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files]]
6. Go to C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local
7. Delete "IconCache.db"
8. Open the taskmanager
9. Kill explorer.exe by clicking on End Process
10. In the taskmanager, File -> New Task (Run...) --> write "explorer.exe" without the quotation mark, press ok

Jpgs opened in Preview have strange distortions

Hi. I am trying to import some jpgs from a DVD into my iPhoto library (iPhoto 6 (6.0.6). I get the "Unreadable File" error message others have reported. When I open the images in Preview (Preview 3.0.9) the images have strange pixelated distortions. If I save them from Preview, I can import them into the iPhoto library, but the pixelations remain.
Troubleshooting things I have tried:
1. Booting in safe mode - opening another jpg (no problem). Restarting normally and trying to open image from DVD in Preview - same pixelation problem.
2. Opening images from DVD on another computer. The DVD would not open at all on a Windows machine - just hung. Opened FINE on another mac (iMac, with same OS, iPhoto and Preview versions - but it had Photoshop, which I do not.)
So, it appears there is a combatibility problem? What do I do now?
I wanted to attach a screenshot of what the images look like when I open them, but am not sure how to do that....

Posted an example on a webpage:
http://home.uchicago.edu/~jltaylor/imghelp/index2.html
Burning a new DVD might be a possibility, but a little tricky. Its a public computer, so depending on how long it would take to burn the images (there are 199 of them) it could be possible. But I wonder if I would need to save them in a different format or with a different naming scheme - there are some special characters in the titles - since I can open them normally on the other computer?
I even tried importing into iPhoto on the other machine directly from the DVD with no problem. My machine is unable to read them without saving them from Preview first.

The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"

How to lose the window bars in Gnome 3?

I mainly use a amall screened netbook and I'd very much like to get rid of the window bars in Gnome3 as I find they use up too much space and I'd rather use the keyboard to close the open windows and move the windows.
I really don't know where to look, I can't make any sense of the theme's file in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/...
[EDIT]
I'll answer myself, as it was fairly easy after all:
The file is divided in several parts, each with setting for maximized or non-maximized windows etc. To have maximized windows have no title bar add in the line starting with <frame_geometry name="max":
has_title="false"
You can also specify the size of the bar with
title_scale="xx-small"
Avaliable are x-small, small, large, x-large etc.

Why can't I click on the window bar in quicktime X windows?

For some reason, I can't click on the window bar at the top of movie windows in Quicktime X. When I do so, it acts as if I'd clicked on whatever was behind the movie window. This means that I have to close windows with the keyboard rather than clicking, for example.
This started happening before I upgraded to Mavericks, and continued after. Reinstalling the OS did nothing.

Did you use the Migration Assistant updater before you installed Mavericks?
I ask as a resident problem that follows one across a system upgrade usually comes on the heels of a data migration. (I was vexed right up through 10.6 by a migration of data from Panther!)
If so, backup all your files and do a clean install. It would be easier to walk you through if I knew the configuration of your Mac and whether or not you have a bootable optical disk or an image on a USB thumb drive.

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
Thank you!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Change icon in window bar?

Hi,
Can someone explain me how to change the icon that
appears in windows (on Windows it's on the left part
of the window bar).
Which image file format are supported?
Best Regards,
Xavier.

thanks to everybody.
One solution is:
Swing :
JFrame my_frame = new JFrame();
my_frame.setIconImage((new javax.swing.ImageIcon("MyIcon.gif")).getImage());
With AWT, I suppose that something with CreateImage
createImage(String) - Method in class java.awt.Toolkit
Returns an image which gets pixel data from the specified file.
createImage(URL) - Method in class java.awt.Toolkit
Returns an image which gets pixel data from the specified URL

Active window bar, menu bar missing or hidden

Today after opening a PDF, my active window bar (at the top) and the Acrobat menu bar wouldn't display. It's Acrobat 9.5.5. Instead of giving me the normal active window bar and menu bar, it would give a gray Acrobat buttons menu. Each time I get it back to normal via F9, it doesn't stay that way. It's extremely frustrating. I cannot find any preference setting to fix this back to normal for good. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Jack,
Do you have Kaspersky Antivirus software installed?
Please update Kaspersky (KIS 2015) to its latest version 15.0.1.415 and that should fix the issue.
Refer the Kaspersky forum thread: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=307391&hl=Adobe

Window Bar just like in Mac OS 9

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to have that button on the windows, that make the whole window dissapear and just left the bar with the title and buttons of close and other two.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Stela, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There is no "windowshade" feature in Mac OS X. I think that's the feature you're referring to. You can move windows out of the way by minimizing them or using Expose.

Svn revision number in the windows bar

Hi,
I'm thinking of the possibilities of putting the SVN revision number on the bar of application (exe). I'd be usueful feature to quick assess from which source code revision the application is build in.
So what I would need is a kind of trigger/interface which I could use to launch the small piece a code which modify the application window bar when the application is being build. I thought about preparing the string using the System Exec.vi (to execute svn.exe -st command to get the information I need). But how come can I impose on LV to trigger that code only when the build operation starts?
Or maybe I shall use different approach?
Solved!

Hi MimiLKM,

Hope this helps,
And how does that answer the question about changing the title bar of a window when a build process is initiated?
As to the question: The application build has an API, so if you really needed to do this (and I can't quite figure out why), you could write your own VI to call the application builder to build your app. You can then change the title bar. I'm not sure, but I suspect you may need to resort to using the operating system API to change the window name, as I don't know if you can get a reference to the window that is displayed during the build process. If you have to use the operating system, then on Windows you can use the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW .
