I want to delete the firefox program and it has disappeared from my programs in control panel...how do I delete it?
My computer has become crippled with add ware and popups which appeared when firefox was updated. Misteriously it disappeared from my control panel when I began deleteing items that were added after a specific date...firefox was the next thing I was going to delete and now I'm stuck with it. I dont appreciate being forced to keep it.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

I downloaded Firefox 5 and discovered it disabled my McAfee SiteAdvisor because of incompatibility. No compatible version of the SiteAdvisor was found. How do I delete the Firefox-5 and reload my old Firefox-4 so I may reactivate the SiteAdvisor?
Thank youMcAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36733?tstart=0 HERE] -

I accidentally deleted the Firefox button and I don't know how to get it back.
I accidentally deleted the Firefox button on the top left side of the screen. I can't figure out how to get it back. Can you help?
You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You can place the Tab Bar on top.

On checking my add-ons and plugins I attempted to update Java Run Time to latest version as firefox said it was outdated.
I tried installing new version JRE 7.10 manually and through firefox (which said the installation was successful). When testing it, I get told that Java is not working and that a plug in is missing. Can not check whether the new plugin is enabled as JRE has disappeared from the plugins tab (Only Deployment Toolkit appears).
The Java control console says that it was successfully installed in all browsesr. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java 3 times and keep getting the same result. Java is working fine on chrome and IE so problem must be with FF.i have already tried installing the offline version but Java SE7U10 does not show in the add-ons menu and Java doesn't work

I added music to a project in iMovies. I wanted to delete the music,but could not figure out how. I also had two songs playing at same time. How do I delete music in project and how do I prevent two song playing at same time?
Select your Music Track so that a yellow border is around it. Then hit the Delete Key. Alternatively, hit EDIT/DELETE SELECTION.

My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone
My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
Thank you.
DDHi Dahveed,
Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
In the end I was forced to upgrade.
I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project. -
Can't import photos from iPhone anymore devices and iPhone has disappeared from sidebar

Suddenly when I open LR and go to the develop section, there is no "BASIC" section and all the adjustments therein are not accessible. It just goes from the histogram and the crop, etc. tool bar to the "Tone Curve" with no "Basic"... I am on the Creative Cloud and previously all was fine.... How do I get the Basic section back?
Thanks,Right-click (or the Mac equivalent) on the Tone Curve, or any other Develop module section on the right, and you'll see a list of sections to enable. I only have Basic, Detail, and Camera Calibration enabled at the moment because I'm testing some new custom camera profiles I've just made:

I just updated itunes to 10.6.
Windows. Vista. (up to date)
Everything is the library has gone - no apps, music, videos etc.
Playlists have gone.
Everything on the iPhone is still there.
I can't sync because everything will then get deleted from the phone and replaced with the (empty) library.
How can I get it all back to normal?In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

The movies, tv and internet have disappeared from the apple tv menu??
Has anybody else found these things missing from the tab menu on apple tv, There is only internet, computer and settings options and when I try and click on internet it does nothing. Could they just be updating??
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check it still has an internet connection.
Check your location setting is correct.
Are you getting time or date error messages.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general.
You should also try restarting your router. -

The You Tube launcher app has disappeared from my home screen. How can I reinstate it?
The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
