One from the dock and the one on the desktop.

the desktop item will not delete or "move to trash"
In Finder, select the item. Choose File > Get Info (or do ⌘I). Look under General > Kind. Does it read "Alias" or does it read "Application (Intel)"?
If the latter, then it is likely that you're not allowed to delete because it's actually open. Quit Safari. Check if there is an item called Safari in your </Applications> folder. (In Finder, you can get directly to the Applications folder using ⇧⌘A -- that's Shift-Command-A.) Check if it's an application. If it is, then you have an unneeded copy of Safari. You can delete the one on your Desktop. If there isn't, them move the one on the Desktop to the Applications folder -- that's where it belongs.

  • Is there any way to match the dock and USB to the iphone it goes with?

    We have several iphones in our household.  An iphone 3, two iphone 3S and two iphone 4S.  Our teenage daughter keeps snatching everyone's charger and then claims innocence.  Funny thing, everyone's chargers are all gone and she's the only one who has one left.  We've never caught her red-handed, but we know without a doubt she's the little thief in the house.  Is there any way to match the dock and USB to the iphone it goes with? 

    A charger is only connectors plastic and rubber you Can MAKE one yourself with wires so no memories

    I assume you have iTunes Match turned on in iTunes?
    You can create a smart playlist in iTunes that has "iCloud Status" is "Matched" or "Upload" - that will tell you what's in the cloud.

  • Help!!! the app Iphoto is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    I was editing my photos and adding them to a album and suddenly the app is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Keynote icon don´t appear on launchpad but it does at the dock, and is working fina. How can I make it appear again on the launchpad?

    I have a problem with cleanmymac that makes some of native app stop working. I reinstalled OS X Mav´s and everything seems to be ok, but the iWorks apps stop working then...so I reinstalled and everything were ok again....By now keynote works fine but the icon only appears on the dock, but not on the launchpad. How can I solve this?
    I went to Apple store and the girl there told me that the problem will be solved when upgrade to OS X Josemite????? I think she doesn´t know how to solve the issue.
    Any advice?

    Siri must be turned on, you must be connected to the Internet, and you must be in one of these countries:

  • Way to have comic book display two pages in landscape and one in portrait?

    I'm trying to use iBooks Author to build a very simple manga-style graphic novel.  It's based on a print book (with a lot of unconventional frame use), so I'm not using any fancy interactive features or individual-frame zoom-ins or such.
    What I want to do is very simple and seems obvious:  In landscape, I want two images (one for each page) to display side by side.  In portrait, I want a single image to fill the whole display.
    Preferably the portrait view will also display one image/page at a time and require page turns, like landscape, rather than a continuous vertical strip of images.
    I assume I'm overlooking something really obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work in portrait, and searching, or even buying a graphic novel template from a professional studio (they just disabled portrait), hasn't helped.  I can set up landscape well enough, but if I check the option to share images with portrait, I just get little inline thumbnails in the continuous-scroll-style vertical view, when what I want is large, single-page images.  (Perhaps what I'm really asking is how to disable the infinite scrolling mode in portrait view?)
    I'm sure the answer to this will be something simple that makes me feel like an idiot, but I would tremendously appreciate any help.

    Thanks for the suggestion, K T.
    I'd already read through several of those tips lists, and I was aware that the page turn animation was exclusive to epub documents.  I was assuming there would be some way to display a full-screen image in portrait view with an .ibooks file, but perhaps that's not currently the case (which, admittedly, seems like a huge oversight on devices with less-than-10" screens).
    I could accept a continuously-scrolling portrait mode if that's a requirement, but I'd at least need to expand the page-images to fill the column, which is where I also wasn't having any luck with.  It seems like doing a new section for each page might be a sort of hack, to get around this as well, although it might preclude re-using the images in portrait view.
    (I probably also should have mentioned that I realize I could build this as an .epub or PDF book and get it to do more or less what I want, but there would be annoying faux-gutter and borders that I'd prefer to avoid, and iBooks Author otherwise seems to be capable of producing exactly the material I'm looking for with a lot less work than hand-coding an ePub file.)

  • The Sync seem not working between my other two computers, one in the spare roon, one in the hall and one in the master bedroom.

    Previous version when I use sync for all these three computers it seem to work fine and also can I install Xmark.

    Hi!
    Before Firefox 7 the service used to take some time to upload the changes and then to download them. Make sure that you wait several hours to confirm that it's not something else.
    You can force them by using the "Sync Now" option in the Tools menu.
    Fortunately, the behavior have changed with Firefox 7 and now the bookmark changes are instant.

  • How can I plot two plots with two different Y axis,one on the left and one on the right ?(double axis)

    I have read many similar questions  on the forum but I see no best ways . I use DAQ card .LabVIEW 8.0, to measure two signals at the same time  ( ex: intensity mA (autorange),temperature:0-400oC) and I want to plot them on the same graph. I used stack plots without problems,but it doesnot satisfy me . Help me.

    Ok, I did all as you told me. I got the graph that I want to create. I got two curve on the same graph but the scale is not right. Only on one Y axis the scale is correct, the other is not . ( I want to use one Y axis : 0 to 400, the other :0-10 (or autoscaleY)). The attached screen shot shows that. It is no problem when I use stack plot. Thanks.

  • I'm on ff 3.5.5 for Mac. I've been prompted twice to download latest version. Each time I have dragged the ff icon from applications folder to the dock and all seems ok. But next time I start ff it says I'm on 3.5.5 and should update to latest version!

    There was no "update failed" message
    I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing when I drag to the dock. There's only one ff icon in the applications folder. The first time I was prompted to update it showed that days date next to the icon as if the update was successful. The second time was a few days later but I think it was still the same date next to the icon (25/8/10) I've only just noticed that (on 10/9/10) so can't be sure but I'm sure the second time was around 2nd or 3rd of Sept.
    Also, I am running two versions of ff- one is english, the other is the Italian version. They can't be opened at the same time but they seem to talk to eachother in the background, so to speak, because when I open one after a long gap, it opens with all the history and settings of the other one, right up to the last website I went to. I think I closed both when updating because it prompts you to close all programmes and restart (I think/ remember) so I just clicked ok to that prompt.
    By the way, I got the prompt to update twice for ''BOTH'' the Italian and the English version- so 4 times altogether so it would seem that ff does recognise them as separate but still has problems concluding the update for each separate one respectively.
    Thank you very much if you can help.

  • I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

    I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me??  Please?

  • Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second

    ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second page of icons,  black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

    I had this problem as well.  This is what I found by searching online.  I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked.  I hope this helps you.  Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings.  Good luck.
    It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
    iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
    To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
    From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
    If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
    Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings. 
    Double-tap to open Settings. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap. 
    Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on." 
    You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
    Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.
