Is there any way to remove or disable contact pictures from contacts, and, from every other applications ...

It seems that there are so many things that i cannot adjust with this new os, and, i wonder if there is any way to get a manual or something that will allow me to disable or remove some of the more annoying features that keep popping up everywhere i go ...

Thank you again ... this is the message ... perhaps if more people see it, Apple will take note ...
---- Message below ----
For some reason, i get these annoying contact circles in my email messages, and, in pretty much every where i go. I hate them, they serve no purpose, and, the pictures put confidentiality of my contacts in jeopardy.
How can i remove them, and, reclaim the professionalism of my iMac, iPad, and, iPhone ...
Regards
ps ... my computers are workhorses, not toys ... i wish you knew the difference ...

HELP! Is there any way to remove the remnant of an old Word file from OS 9.2.2?

I know this sounds bizarre, but I've spent the last 6 hours trying to remove a non-existant file from the iBook I bought in 2002. I have already tried Microsoft Support, but am stuck because I can't remember the details of the info I used the one and only time I created an account with them in order to ask a single question several year ago, and am unable to provide them with a new email address that's acceptable to them for a single-time contact.
Besides, since the problem is on a Mac iBook, I'm hoping I'll have more success in this community.
Although I bought the iBook 12 years ago, I did so on a whim, and never really used it for the purpose I envisioned, which included working on a couple of projects while I was away from home. In anticipation of those projects I loaded copies of the software I typically used onto the iBook . . . including Office 2001, which I apparently used to create several personal documents, which I saved on the same device.
Three or four years later, when my desktop Power Mac G4 was showing signs of trouble, I saved the most important documents to the iBook for safekeeping . . . and a few years later, did the same when the tray on the optical drive failed and I decided it was more cost-effective to replace than repair it.
Since then, the iBook has been in clear sight of my desk, but buried under piles of papers, until I rediscovered it last week . . . and since it's still in perfect condition, decided to look for a buyer. So far the few documents I created on the iBook plus the several hundred I had stored there have all been removed — except for the remnants of the half dozen files I created in Word.
I thought I was rid of them, but since they still show up in a list of documents when I open Word, my guess is there must be a "graveyard" somewhere on my iBook where the bones of dead files reside for eternity (or until the iBook itself is trashed).
There is no sign of them (or anything else) in the trash can . . . and when I click on their names, an error message informs me that it can't find the files, but I'm welcome to search for them myself.
I'm hoping someone in this forum can tell me where to look. . . . Since I'm pretty sure that even though all the other files have been deleted, there must be a directory of some sort still holding all or part of those documents, as well, I'm also wondering if there is some way to perform a clean sweep of all the created files, without removing the core software and third party apps — before I send the iBook onto a new owner.
The active operating system on the iBook is 9.2.2 — although I think it also came with an early version of OS 10 pre-loaded.
The Word software came with Office 2001, but I think it is version 5.1.
If there's a solution, I hope it's relatively easy, because the thought of writing scripts scares me.

Not sure what's happening with this thread, but in the last 15 minutes, Safari closed down twice — for reasons apparently indirectly related to our discussion, but also to a couple of sentences borrowed from a Word document I had just written and was attempting to paste into this response
To pick up from yesterday . . . Thanks again for your suggestions. After lunch, I did follow the first one, but unfortunately, it didn't work. But since I've always hated conceding to defeat without a decent fight (especially when it comes to a Mac) — I spent the next 5-6 hours trying to understand why I couldn't open those documents!! I never did find the answer, but think I at least found a work-around.
Just to clarify, when I looked at the list at the bottom of the File menu again, I realized there were nine of them (not just the 5-6 I had mentioned. From their titles, I also realized I had just seen them recently, while combing thru and culling the several hundred files I had saved to desktop Macs during those previously mentioned crises . . . And since the iBook couldn't find them on its drive . . . . thinking the docs might be missing critical information, I started by transferring them back on a thumb drive.
Like magic, I suddenly could read them, but still was unable to delete from from the iBook . . . until thru a series of quirky and convoluted maneuvers, I managed to delete all the content from each document and save them with their original names . . . copied the empty documents from my thumb drive to my iBook . . . re-opened them to confirm that they could now see the original (but now empty files) . . . saved and renamed them Document 1-9 in that order.. . . put copies of each into a new folder for safekeeping on both the iMaBool desktop and thumb drive . . . trashed the folder on the iBook desktop (knowing I still had backups on the thumb drive) . . .and Eureka! Documents 1-9 are still on the File Menu, but when opened, they all are now blank.
As for re-installing the original operating system, while I agree it's a good idea, it's been years since I last did a clean install, and can't remember if OS 9.2 allowed selective reinstalls. So rather than run the risk of removing ALL the third party software currently on the iBook, since my plan all along was to give the next owner all 5 MS Office disks (original install, 3 reinstall disks and separate hardware diagnostic disk), I think I'll leave that option to him/her.
Can't say it was fun, but ultimately the time spent probably was worthwhile, if only because it provided a valuable learning opportunity.
Thanks again for your suggestions and attention. (How could I give up after you took the time to offer them?)

Is there a way to remove or disable the "Clear List" button from the downloads list?

Is there a way to remove or disable the "Clear List" button in the downloads list? I like to _keep_ my list populated with what I've downloaded but occasionally end up with it getting clicked on accident and lose the whole thing. Given that "Tools > Clear Recent History" dialog can accomplish the same thing I find Clear List to be irritating. So can I get rid of it in any way?

I haven't tested this, but it should work flawlessly. You can always erase this line if you want the button back. This will only work on your Firefox profile. If you want these changes to span across all Firefox users on your computer, please tell me.

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8?

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8? I would prefer to not have that listed if at all posible and can't find a solution.

Are you talking about the Time Remaining display on the side bar? The text for that field is in the Modify Text Labels... tool in the Theme Editor of Presenter. You can change it to whatever you want, but you may want to keep a record of what the default text labels are, as there is no restore to default option. The Elapsed Time field is what you would want to change. I have seen this modified to show no text, copyright information or other general info.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

Is there any way to remove the explicit warning (the red "E") from podcasts (in the app)?

I could really use some help with the Podcasts app. Whenever I try to use a subscription for a podcast directly on my iPhone, every episode of that podcast (loaded through iTunes) gets the explicit tag.
That red "E" is eating up valuable space in the podcast name and I don't want it there. Is there any way to remove it?
Any help would be very appreciated!
P.S. I do not have "Show content ratings in library" activated in iTunes and I don't use any other parental control or restrictions option, never have.

No there is no way to remove it.

Is there any way to remove my name from the profil...

Is there any way to remove or prevent my profile from appearing in the profile search directory? I'm so tired of ALL the unwanted contact requests. Yeah I know I don't have to add them but this shouldnt even be a problem in the first place. If I want to add someone to add me I'll give them my skype name.

Hi, Phnxbane, and welcome to the Community,
You may certainly remove all profile data by leaving those settings as "blank" or "not specified." I find the easiest way to do this is to open the profile settings from within the Skype "client" software.
Removing/deleting an account name from the Skype search directory closes the account. More details about this can be found here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'

Elaine

Is there any way to permanently delete/disable keychain on 10.8?

Hey guys,
This is my first post in the Apple support forum.
I work in the I.T helpdesk office for a leading australian University.
Currently we have roughly 600 apple based computers running in our network, a problem i come across the most is the Keychain.
The company i work for has a policy that requires end users to change their passwords every 6 months, unfortunatly their login details are changed but their keychain is not thus creating password conflicts, account lockouts etc.
Is there any way i can just disable the keychain so its not required any more
Im pretty sure theirs not possible but it cant hurt to ask, theres a very strong chance that theres someone out there who's figured it out

even if that were possible, you wouldn't want to do that as Keychain stores numerous certificates, which are needed to verify the authenticity of secure connections.

Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?

When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/
Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

Your original question was:
When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
*http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm
The above webm file link is from this test page:
*http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
(The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, [[Viewing HTML5 audio and video in Firefox]].
I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

Is there any way to remove scratches of iphone 5 back and sides ?

Is there any way to remove scratches of iphone 5 back and sides ?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it.
Apple - iPod Repair price
If they are on the screen I know of no way to remove them
If they are on the case then removing the scratches would also remove the coloring. I would get a case and hide them if the scratches are on the case.

Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops ( Logic 8

I'm sure it's been posted previously, but anyway, I'm looking to buy new Apple Loops libraries and I have faced the fact , that many of the sounds and loops produced by third parties manufacturers have been already included in Logic installation discs.
I have a list of Apple Loops DVD's that have been included with Logic somewhere, the problem is, Apple didn't post ( I believe) the credits of all 3rd party manufacturers that have produced these libraries that are included with Logic or Garage band. Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops that are included with Apple DAW's so I wouldn't duplicate anything ? I'm pretty much positive that Apple had other companies to sound design and sample all libraries for them, so is there also a way to have a list of those manufacturers? Again, the objection is to start upgrading the sound library without any possible duplication?
Thanks in advance!

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
1. Reboot
2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.
