I installed idx extensions on my macbook pro by accident. How do I get rid of it on my firefox?

That wasn't a virus and it had nothing to do with your problem.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    Hi Thomas, I was trying to drag it from the Launch Pad where it just bounced back again. Have now solved it by dragging it from the Application.
    Thanks.

    I am installing Windows 7 and I get an error message: "Your disk could not be partitioned. An error ocurred while partitioning the disk".

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
    How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive

  • My Sandisk cruzer thumb drive 4.0GB (which is very old, roughly 10 years and I'm not sure about the model) reads "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when inserted in my Macbook pro 2010. How do I get it to work?

    My Macbook Pro 2010 with the latest OS does not open a particular Sandisk Cruzer 4.0GB (which is an old model, about 10 years) thumbdrive with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Will I be able to read it on my macbook?

    Is it readable in a Windows computer?  If not then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive-- although that may be dangerous too.
    I haven't had this problem so I out of safe ideas.  There are ustilies out there.   I used the seach term "repair flash drive Mac OS X" to locate some of these.
    If the data is essential there are pay-for services to recover data looked the price was in the range $50 - $1000
    All the best.

  • InstaLLING FORGET LEFT 96 ICONS ON MY TOOLBAR. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM

    I clicked the forget option on the Firefox update and now i ave 3 rows deep of 32 icons on my firefox toolbar. Why and how do I get rind of them or else uninstall the forget function? I have a screen shot but can't see where to add it to this question.

    Hello Wnedy2,
    It looks like you may have a theme installed that's interfering with Firefox. When several themes are installed, you can switch to another theme as follows:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
    #Switch to the ''Appearance'' tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
    #Click the ''Enable'' button next to the 'Default' theme.
    To uninstall the other ones, you can click the Remove button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.
    For more information about Firefox themes, see the article [[Use themes to change the look of Firefox]].
    Did this answer your question? Let us know.

  • I have recently installed window vista on my macbook pro under lion, how do i install drivers in vista?

    Hi guys, I have recently installed window vista by using boot camp under Lion, and how do i install the drivers for vista?
    I don't have any installation disk come with this mac, therefore i have no ideas how it work?
    thanks.

    You should visit the Boot Camp forum, https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp. This issue has been asked and answered several times.
    There are no Vista/XP drivers for Lion or for the newer Apple computers.

  • If a student doesn't want to give or have a social security number, how does he/she go about getting the installment plan with the new MacBook Pro? Can he/she still get the student discount if a co-signer who is not a student puts down his/her information

    Anyone know how to go about this?

    Payment plans are contracts.  Contracts require personal information.  The only way for your SSN (most people have one assigned by parents before age 1) to NOT appear on the contract is if your name does not appear on the contract and you have no legal responsibility.

  • Spilled coffee, like a fool I got careless and spilled coffee on my lighted, macbook pro keyboard. How do i get a few sticky keys and a sticky spacebar to loosen up? Safely that is.

    I know better but did a dumb thing. Can I open the case and do anything on my own? Thankfully only the spacebar, the comma and the period keys are really sticky. The touch pad seems fine and everything works. Thanks in advance.

    Turn it off.
    Unplug from the wall.
    Have the Genius Bar look at it with their full experience.
    Do not be surprised if they give you an estimate that is very high.
    Fluids and MBPs do not mix.
    Sorry.

  • New Tab at end of the open tab. I thought I installed the extension, but it isn't appearing. How do I get it to work? (I liked it in my previous Firefox application)

    How do I get it to work?

    bring it back and make them aware of this.  They need to correct the problem they didnt fully fix.  This is an international user to user forum.  Posting your phone number and email is a VERY bad idea as we are not Apple employees and now anyone can see you private information.  I will ask to have the private information edited for your protection.

  • In the process of installing Mozilla I picked up search side cubes. How do I get rid of it? Comes up upon opening Firefox!

    I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. I have searched for side cubes as a file name. I have looked for it by using Revo. I am using XP Professional. Can't find any reference to it until I open Firefox. http://search.sidecubes.com/?st=hp&q=

    hello herribydesign, you probably have adware present on your system. please perform all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

    I accidently installed vidx extensions on my macbook pro. Although I thought I deleted it I still get the adds coming up. How do I get rid of it on my firefox browser?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

    Have just installed Mavericks and restarted the MacBook Pro. That was 3 hours ago and after logging in, I got my wallpaper and dock, but none of my desktop icons, just the spinning coloured wheel. It's been like that for 2 hours. Is this normal? What should I do, please?
    I tried holding the on/off switch down to make it shut down, but when I turned it back on again, the same thing happened and none of the keys etc makes any difference.
    HELP!!!! Please.

    No, what you're experiencing is not normal.
    Try booting whilst holding down the Shift key - this will allow you to boot into Safe Mode, disabling third-party kernel extensions, etc. Your Mac will be slow to boot and will operate sluggishly. That's normal. If you can get in using Safe Mode then you have some start-up item that doesn't play well with Mavericks.
    Call back,

  • I installed Libre Office on my Macbook Pro and now I can't remove it!!!

    I installed Libre Office on my Macbook Pro. It displays on my desktop the same as a USB would, offering me to eject "Libre Office". I am having trouble trying to get rid of it, as im not even sure I know how to uninstall stuff on here!
    Please help me

    You haven't installed it. You've just downloaded it to your computer. Double-click on the .dmg file to mount it like an external drive. Double-click on the disk icon, then drag the Libre Office file into your Applications folder.
    You can then eject the disk icon after which you can delete the .dmg file.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
