In my task manager I see still have explorer.exe, can I get rid of this if I use mozilla? would it be wise?And how?

looking to speed up and simplify my computer

1. '''explorer.exe''' is the Windows Explorer file system interface. <br />
The Internet Explorer process is '''iexplore.exe'''.
2. You'll need Internet Explorer for doing Microsoft updates manually or to install other Microsoft programs. Their website uses ActiveX for some functions which Firefox doesn't do.

    It sounds as if you purchased the app, but you also purchased some subscription within the app.  You say "Apple is charging monthly", but it's probably the app writer that is charging you monthly for some subscription you purchased within the app.  Contact the app vendor and tell them you want to stop the subscription.

  • HT1766 I have an IPAD 2 and when I awoke it I received an error message; "This IPad hasn't been backed up for 3 weeks." It goes on to tell me when backups occur but it doesn't back up automatically. How can I get rid of this message and use my IPad?

    I have an IPad 2 and when I woke it up it gave me an error message on the desktop: "iCloud backup: This IPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." I have done all of these and it still doesn't allow me to get rid of the error message. I even connected the IPad to the computer and attempted to back it up using the Web but it still doesn't get rid of the message. Help!

    Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Although I have Igoogle as my home page when I open Firefox it comes up as somoto. How can I get rid of this.

    My home page on Firefox only has been changed to somoto. I can't get rid of it. Have run scans for malware and viruses with more than one program and has eliminated any bad stuff. I cannot find the word somoto anywhere in my computer. My regular home page comes up in IE and Chrome.

    This worked for me:
    open add/remove programs and uninstall every toolbar you see that you don't know exactly what it is. The trojan or virus ... whatever it is can hide itself in another name. it happened to be "burn4free" toolbar when i downloaded burn4free a few days ago. I uninstalled it, restarted my computer upon prompt, and VOILA! no more annoying homepage. Like i said, it may be renamed so make sure to do some trial and error if you're not sure which one it is. GOOD LUCK!

  • I have one random Apple ID that appears only when I go to itunes or App Store.  For everything else I have my Apple ID and password all set.  Can I get rid of this thing?

    This is a Question:  I have one random Apple ID that comes up only when I'm trying to access Apps or iTunes.  I have another Apple ID with a password that works just fine for everything else.  I do not have a password for this random id.  How can I get rid of it?  I can't perform updates is the big issue.

    Jonathan:This seems to make a lot of sense.  My only follow up question is:  will I have any trouble getting iTunes and
    Apps back?
    Will apple charge me?  I really can't remember clearly, but it seems to me that iTunes and Apps were present on the
    iPad2 that was given to me as a gift, but I could be mistaken.
    If I am all clear for getting those two stores back with an easy selection, then I will use your solution.
    Have a great season, my friend- this was driving me nuts!  Thank you so much!

  • My battery condition is replace soon? I still have applecare. Can I get my battery replaced for free?

    This is what my system profiler says.
      Charge Information:
      Charge remaining (mAh):          4029
      Fully charged:          No
      Charging:          Yes
      Full charge capacity (mAh):          4145
      Health Information:
      Cycle count:          1051
      Condition:          Replace Soon
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          558
      Voltage (mV):          12567
    The charge doesn't last nearly as long as it used to. Can I get a battery replacement?

    As a rule Apple will not replace the battery after the first year as the battery is considered a consumable item.
    Also you have over the rated cycle count so the battery is Used Up, Consumed.
    Now it all depends on what G bar you take it to and what G person you talk to but don't get your hopes up that you will have it changed for free. More then likely it Will Not be changed for free.

  • I have absolutely no use for "Events" in iPhoto: can I get rid of this concept? I am importing photos maybe one or a dozen times a day and cannot avoid creating a new event each time. Or can I?

    As my long question implies (sorry, should have kept it shorter) I have a problem with being forced to have Events in my iPhoto'11 9.2.3 (629.52) on my MacBook 10.6.8. My habit is to unload the camera constantly, whether I have taken a single shot or a whole series. Each new addition creates an Event which actually bothers me!
    Is there a way of avoiding this? If I erase an event from iPhoto the photos will disappear from the Library it seems ... Please help with your advice. Thanks! Sigrid.

    Thanks, OT!
    When I look at my odd(?) habits of dealing with iPhoto anyone will see that I have a very simplistic approach: I never let one single Library get bigger than 300 or 400 photos, then back it up as is and make a separate, manual backup of the different albums as named by myself on an external HD. Then I delete the Library as such from my Mac but can reinstate it from the backups as I please. The backups are properly labelled, of course.
    I get dizzy when I read about libraries of thousands of photos, of keywords, ratings, smart albums etc. because this just wouldn't apply to my so-called system. So instead of using Faces and Places, my album names show clearly what's in them - "skies and scenery" Euskadi, "bugs and birds at Fancourt", "inventories", "people" (separate for my circle of people and characters from media), "my dog" etc., usually a bunch of 20 albums or so depending on my whereabouts. Quite manageable!
    I've been doing just fine with this method and would recommend it ... but others are much brighter ;-) and use the offered (and to me too advanced) features of iPhoto, if they prefer these. Now that I know how to get rid of Events by merging them into one, I at least feel a little freer there.
    Well, it's 1:25AM my time, gotta go ...
