IOS7 gives me a headache looking at it. Can I get rid of it. Wish I had never accepted it. JUNK!!!
I get a headache looking at the new screen for even 30 seconds *****. It is harder to read the text board and harder to focus on the phone board. Overall I am totally unhappy with the new appearance. Can I get rid of IOS7 and why do they make things worse acting like it is an improvement.
Unfortunately, Apple does not support downgrading to iOS 6. To tweak the interface study the following:
The following is from user RandomName42, who provides lots of ideas. It seems much of this may have come from this article:

At any rate, RandomName42's post follows ---------------------------------------------------
The font size doesn't affect the font size of the icons, which the new folder layout makes even harder to read than it is against a regular background.
I deal with migraines and avoid bright light where I can, so figuring out how to work around Apple's design on this one is going to be huge. I'm encountering (and working on finding a way to avoid) huge unbroken bright spaces in the OS. I've known for a while that, at work, my monitors will eventually give me headaches but my iPad wouldn't. I'd been using the iPad as a break from monitor glare to stop them from kicking in full-blast. I didn't realize until yesterday that it was because so much of my iPad screen is darker - deeper greys, for example, in the settings menu, than the blue of my menus in Outlook. I had the new iOS for about 10 minutes before the first migraine started. I love Apple's attention to aesthetics and design mentality, but goodness they use migraine triggers a lot in this design.
Potentially useful ideas:
General -> Accessibility -> Bold Text to ON. You may still have to squint a bit but letters will be ~much~ easier on the eyes.
General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast to ON. This takes away the bright fuzzy backgrounds when you open folders and makes them less fuzzy grey ones. It also darkens the bright fuzzy bar across the bottom of the screen to be a darker grey. It does not darken the bright fuzzy folders icons on the app pages or make Notes, Reminders or new Safari pages (or existing ones while you type a new address) much better, but is a huge step forward. It definitely makes mail and Messages much less pain-inducing, though they could stand to go darker.
General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion to ON. This seems to cost me the pretty effects with app icons, but with all of the fuzziness they've added to folders and the your-apps bar, it helps avoid ~shifting~ fuzziness. Which turns out to cause problems for me. Who knew?
General -> Accessitiliby -> Invert Colors to ON. ******* ONLY while in the Settings menu or Apple's screens like Safari, Reminders and Mail. I've been told I might be able to assign it to a triple tap, which should make switching easier. Haven't figured out how yet.
App Switcher - Either don't use it or kill all Apple screens you aren't actively using. This cuts down on the large light squares that fill the screen in the app switcher now. Not using it would be a hassle, but would also cut down on the heightened visibility of everything I have open when switching between apps I use at work. I'm undecided which I'll end up going with.
Use new screen pages instead of folders. I love the new folder design. My migraine-ridden brain doesn't, though. /-: With the old folder design, you knew an app in a folder was on screen if the folder was open and could let your gaze sweep over it multiple times to identify the icon. Now it may not be on the screen, so you have to focus specifically on smaller icons against a fuzzy-ish background. Focusing on something meant to be fuzzy is apparently one of my headache triggers. If the folders were darker or I could show the same number of icons, this would be much less a problem, but for now... I'm not sure that having a page for each folder is doable or worth the hassle, though. Might just end up moving the apps I use less often into a set of folders on a last page I don't have to visit often or just deleting them to minimize folders.
Remember your brightness setting needs to be lower than it looks. This one seems obvious but surprised me with the frustration it causes. When you open the lower dock that has the brightness control, it darkens the rest of the screen. If you set your brightness so that what you want to look at seems right, it will brighten further after you close the menu and go back to it. I don't have a feel yet for how much lower I need to set the brightness, but I assume that will come with time. Also: Setting brightness higher makes the menu itself brighter to look at, so judge headache likeliness with that in mind.
Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness -> Auto-Brightness to OFF. This OS is super on-the-ball about adjusting brightness automatically. Which is awesome sometimes, but less so when you manually set the brightness, go back to the screen and watch it change from what you just set it to. You may end up with darker screens than you want until you adjust the setting, but you won't end up with brighter screens than you want.
We'll probably just have to deal with the big fuzzy bar across the bottom of the screen and having to look more carefully at the big fuzzy squares behind folders now. It helps to think of them as Monet menus.

I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?
Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Screen looks brown! can screens get dirty under the glass?
Hi,
My 12 inch screen on my powerbook is about 5 years old. When I open a word doc. ,for example, a broad area of the screen looks a kind of brownish colour. can screens get dirty under the glass? Is there a way to fix this kind of thing?
Thanks!Hi,
Thanks for your response. I guess my case is unusual. I haven't seen this happen to other late 2002 apples. I used to regularly use an iBook G3 and it never happened to that one. To show you a picture, I guess I'll paste an ad in craigslist with just a picture with what's wrong with it and paste it alone.
Just please don't reply to the e-mail address i will not answer back. In french hoping that that the locals could hep, but you just need the pic please reply in the forum so I can delete the posting. thanks: heres the link:

Every time I log on, it comes up saying an upgrade is available. I click on it and it tells me to turn off my McAfee. I will not turn it off. There is a half of the firefox logo on the screen. I suspect this is a fake website and encouraging me to think that it is a legal website so I can download the upgrade. I won't do it. I visit your sites and it doesn't show as an upgrade to 5 beta. Can you please get back to me on this as soon as possible? Thank you very much.
Ezekiel MoonihoawaIt is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate.<br />
You can check that by looking at the pref <b>app.update.channel</b> on the about:config page.<br />
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release.

Every time I start Firefox an add -on window pops up with a question, do I want to add "Shop to Win 1.0.27" as an add-on.
I've been saying \no for months and I';m getting tired of looking at the question and having to un "X" it every tome I want o have it go away.hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

My friend who is handicapped recently upgrade her iPad2 and iPhone 5 to ios7. Immediately her iPad and iPhone showed over 60,000 pieces of mail. Has anyone heard of this happening?
Try a reset ..
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
See if that makes a difference .. -
Can't get rid of a file (at least it looks liek a file)
I have a file that I can't delete, can't rename, can't open, etc ... I've tried from the Terminal window and still no luck. If I type ls -l the Terminal widow the result is:
ls: filename: No such file or directory
If I drag it to the trash and empty the trash (any number of ways) everything in the trash goes away except this file. It stays but doesn't give me any errors (like can't delete locked file, etc ..)
I also can't move it anywhere other than the folder it's in. I can move that folder but I can't move the file out of the folder.
Any suggestions?
