I was downloading a PDF converter (or so I thought) and I now have a browser called "Babylon Search" sitting on top of Firefox that I can't get rid of.

the URL of Babylon Search: http://search.babylon.com/?affId=110790&tt=120912_nocpc_3912_1&babsrc=

hello bdhebert45, please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software ("Browser Manager", "Bprotector", "Object Installer") from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place.
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
afterwards you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to switch back the most common customizations that babylon has done to the browser.

I have an interrupted download of music and now I have titles in I-tunes that I can't get rid of with no content

I have an interrupted download of music that has left me with song titles in I-tunes with no content that are not deletable. If I download again I end up with doubles on the list with only one having content. How can I get rid of the blanks?

Yeah - not really. Sorry - but you will need to get it fixed so you can back it up. You are going to want to Restore your new iPhone from that backup when you get it, so it will really be worth it.
As soon as you get your new iPhone, set up automatic iCloud backups, or if you don't have Wifi, then it is really important to get into the habit of backing your device up weekly to iTunes.
Best of luck!

I am trying to delete Spotify completely on Yosemite. I think I was doing well so far but there's this file left in the trash that I can't get rid of because 'it's in use'(???)

Hello! Here's some information that might be familiar, I don't know:
I got my Mac late 2014
Yosemite, 13-inch, Retina
120 GB, 8 GB RAM
This would be the second time that I'm 'uninstalling' Spotify. The first time was a few months back, when it wouldn't play music and it said something like it's not available in my country (?! which is another issue altogether 'cause my sister can totally use it here). So I uninstalled it and I thought it was gone. Just last week, however, I installed it again because I realised it was working perfectly fine for some people so I wanted to try, and it still says not available on the website so I uninstalled it again. (Which may or may not just be a fault in my part because I didn't really look too closely.)Anyway, while trying to fix something on my Mac this morning, I found out that I somehow had Spotify running in my login items. And this was weirding me out because I knew it was already deleted! Completely! Here is a screenshot just to show you where it used to be and what I mean. I only thought of taking a screenshot after deleting all the Spotify items hehe (ALL, or so I thought! --wait for it--). Sorry, but you get the idea.
This time, I remembered that you don't completely erase a program by the usual way of dragging the icon to the Trash etc etc (that's what I've been doing until just last week) and that you should go to the Library and erase even the preferences files or something. So I did this to Spotify and suddenly there's this tiny file that won't go away that says that it's in use even though I know perfectly as far as my knowledge goes that it is not being freakin' used as of the moment.
And it just bugs me that I can't completely empty my trash because of this one sneaky little file that wasn't even aware had been running on my computer I know this isn't the saddest, most tragic Mac dilemma out there and, clearly, many people have had it worse, but please help me

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

In downloading a photo from someone who used a 'free' sharing service, my Macbook Pro has acquired a virus-like extension called Genieo that I can't get rid of.

Please help me get rid of Genieo once and for all! When downloading a photo for work that someone shared with a 'free' sharing service, my MacBook Pro has acquired a persistent virus-like thing that opens as my Firefox homepage - no matter what. I have faithfully followed all instructions on removing and unsintalling this parasite both from my computer and from Firefox . I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox Mozilla as well. All to no avail. Please help.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

HT5194 my iMac was erased and I now have restored from my just cloud backup. Everything is in folders. how do they get reconfigured on my iMac

I need to get all restored files out of the restore folderson my desktop and back to their original locations. Please help!

What system are you running? If it's Mt. Lion go to the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the Mac. Go to Purchases and download iPhoto again. The current version is 9.4.3.
If you're unable to download iPhoto from the App Store you can reomstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and update it from the Apple Downloads website to the highest version you can get to (I was able to update all the way to 9.4.3 via the updaters). Then if iPhoto can't open the library use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it and it will rebuild it compatible with your version of iPhoto via this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

I updated my firefox browser for my Mac and now, when I open it, an empty white box appears at the top of the page with only a gray bar in it. It over lays the Firefox home page and I can't get rid of it, so I can't click on anything on the Firefox page. I tried deleting Firefox and redownloading it, but that didn't help. I have to force quite Firefox to get out of it. Help!

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover that type of adware, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

I was downloading the software update for ipod touch 2gen and after it was done downloading it showed that there was an error with my ipod and when i saw it was on the lockscreen loading. its been like this for 4 hours already

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
