I started to download Yosemite. After reading reviews changed my mind, my macbook is 2007. How do I remove what little yosemite downloaded. I cant get rid of the icon it just says "paused".
SubjecSummary of your question
I don't want yosemite. It only down loaded a small portion before I changed my mind. Still on the desktop even though i put it in trash and emptied trash. icon says "paused" MY mac is 2009 too old for yosemite. How can I remove what has been downloaded?
MY mac is 2009 too old for yosemite.
Yosemite will run on that computer. Try quitting the App Store and then control click on the installer - Move to Trash. The installer should be in your Applications folder.

I'm trying up upgrade to lion, but having issues. Then icon is on the screen but it says paused and I can't get it to start the download
Ah, okay. This is a message that comes up when a developer has developed software for the Mac, but has not registered with Apple. Apple does this to help keep viruses and malware out of your Mac.
To be able to run this, go to System Preferences and the General tap. At the bottom is the option to change this. Select the section "All applications downloaded from:" and change it to Anywhere.
Just be careful what you install after this and only download from reputable sites (like Apple.com).
Hope this helps! -
How do I get rid of the blue text that says no savings found?
on every site I use these random words are in light blue and if i roll the mouse over it a small box pops up and says no savings found, in the lower right corner says adfull. Is this a firefox thing ( it doesn't happen on IE) if so how do I get rid of it? It is annoying especially appearing on my game site
I use everyday.'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.'' -
I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.
Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

How do I get rid of the annoying yellow banner saying "some plugins are out of date on this page."
Since 5/22/12 I have an annoying yellow banner in Firefox (and other web pages) stating that "some plugins are out of date on this page.") How do I get rid of this? I've checked my plugins and I'm fine for my Mac OS (10.4.1).
Sounds similar to this thread from yesterday: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927963 How do I stop getting the prompt to update plugins? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. Do any of the suggestions there help?

When I look at my TV shows on my iPad, it has an icon for every season of every show that I have ever purchased. I know a lot of them are not technically there because they are not downloaded (they have the iCloud symbol on them so I could download them if I wanted), but I don't want the icons there anymore. I essentially want to "hide" them. How do I do that?
From your iPad you can't: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

i would really like help fixing it because it still has a 25$ itunes card
If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account. -
when navigating on certain sites (fiverr.com is one), i get the popup confirmation "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"
this is highly annoying and i can't find a way to turn this annoyance off. help!because of its impact on security this error message cannot be suppressed. you might want to contact the admins of the website where this is occuring and ask them to implement a handling of user input without sending it to a different server...

Cant get rid of download error message in garage band learn to play
I had trouble downloading lessons 5 and 7 in the Blues Guitar learn to play. I found a discussion addressing this, and was able to complete the down load by logging into the guest account. I have all the lessons, but now I can't get rid of the error message that says Garage Band still is waiting to download the lessons. When I click on the message it refers me to call the Apple Store. I was in their electronic feedback loop for 15 mins before I bailed. Any ideas?
Might be easiest to run their uninstall app.
This might mean you have to reinstall it if it is already deleted or better yet download and just mount the volume to open the folders to get to the uninstaller.

i downloaded the free upgrade for OS X Mavericks, can i delete this download before installation ? i don't want it after reading reviews.
Yes, it's in your Applications folder and is called "Install OS X". Make sure to empty your trash afterwards to clear the space.

After installing Itunes 10.6.3 When ever I start the computer I get a pop up the says "Applesyncnotifier.exe- unable to locate component, this application has failed to start because Corefoundation.dll was not found" How can I get rid of the pop up?
I hope it doesn't effect how I down load my itunes to my ipod and iphone.
No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.) -
Lion icon in dock says paused, can't start download
lion icon in dock says paused, can't start download
Try this:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure you have the latest version of ibooks.
3. Download a free book from the iBook store. (Winnie the Pooh is free) This appears to make existing books with a "downloading" status change to the cloud download button. Click the button to download the book again.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then to resume the download. -
I'm trying to download Mavericks to my i-Mac for the fourth time and it just says 'Paused' and won't budge - Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hello AdeShaw,
You may need to restart the computer, if you haven't done so already. Should that fail to resolve the issue, we've an article that can help resume the download.

Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.Annette,
#In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
# Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
#Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
#The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. -

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.
