Items on Favorites Bar Automatically Re-Populate After Deleting Them

So after I delete an item from my favorites bar in IE11 it almost instantly reappears. I've confirmed the autocomplete setting for address bar and favorites is un-checked.
Internet Options>Content tab, 'Settings' button in Autocomplete section, UNchecked the options to use autocomplete for Address bar entries, including favorites.
I'm using IE11 with Windows 8.1, starting IE from the desktop (not from the start screen).
I've stopped and started IE, rebooted the PC. I've even deleted the 'Favorites Bar' folder in my profile; it too automatically re-appears. Next step I'm trying (barring a solution from the experts) is to uninstall and reinstall IE.
Should I also perhaps run malwarebytes (low-level virus checker/remover). I would hope the security features included with Win 8.1 and IE11 would prevent this from being a malware issue.
AAAGGHH - this is frustrating. HELP !!!

Hi,
What is the result if we delete it from the folder C:\Users\username\Favorites\Links, then clean the recycle bin?
please also refer to this KB, check whether it fits this situation?
You cannot remove items from a roamed Internet Explorer Favorites bar in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012

And does this issue occur in one a particular item or in all items in the favorites bar? Test in no add-ons mode, click Tools>Manage add-ons, disable all add-ons.
A security scan is needed in case some malware cause this issue

How to keep items on ATV after deleting them on iTunes library

does anyone know how to delete movies/tv shows on the computer's hard disk/i tunes library without loosing them on the ATV after the next sync. My problem is that I am only using a Laptop and my HD is already full and I want to delete some of my movies/tv shows on it and I want to keep them on the ATV. However even if I go to manual sync and uncheck the specific items ATV will delete these movies from its storage upon the next sync process. So is there a way to keep items on the ATV after deleting them in the iTunes library?

Unfortunately, that's not how it's supposed to work.
The important thing to appreciate is that AppleTV is not like an external storage/backup device as you cannot ordinarily get files from it should you need to transfer them elsewhere or you lose the originals. You must back up anything you'd hate to lose in some other way.
Many of us attach an external USB drive to the computer, migrate the iTunes library to that, and stream most content, however that is less practical with a laptop if you need the laptop to be mobile and to use AppleTv when it's on the move.
One thing you could try is to test delete a file from the iTunes library manually. In that way iTunes still holds a reference to the file but complains it can't find it. Not sure if this still causes file deletion from AppleTV as the item is still referenced in the database but you could try it and see (make sure you copy the file somewhere safe first!).

How to get tools and other bars back in view after deleting show-bar?

How to get tools and other bars back in view after deleting show-bar?

Hello Jouko.
You can go into View > Toolbars and select the ones you want to see. If you can't see the menu bar you can simply tab ALT on your keyboard (I think F10 works too) to show it.

Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.

I tried cleaning all appstore.plist, cache, cookie files.
The problem remains the same.
Please advice.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Do tracks of files/pictures/etc. remain hidden inside the iphone after deleting them?

If so, I am deeply concerned. I won't get into the whole location tracking feature but allegedly forensic analysis of the iPhone can reveal what pictures you've had on your iPhone even after deleting them. A few questions:
- There are many "scanner" apps out there and the idea of a hidden document scan lying there hidden raises concern.
- Since the battery is NOT user replaceable, does Apple give you a refurbished iPhone with a new battery when you bring in your iPhone for battery replacement? Sensitive files/pictures might still be on it and the idea of getting someone else's iPhone doesn't seem appealing to me. I don't want a scratched iPhone since I've kept mine in a leather case all the time.
- Does the "erase all content and settings" feature truly erases ALL content of your iPhone? (e.g. does it zero out data?)

i feel your pain
this is so infuriating
it's great little app, and so easy to record audio on the fly.
BUT then absolutely impossible to easily transfer them to my desktop.

I lost mail smart folders on iMac after delete them on Mac Air

I lost mail smart folders on iMac after delete them on Mac Air with differents mail accounts.
I don't undestand, I have email accounts totally differents between iMac and Mac Air, I don't know if is an iCloud issue.
When I open Mail on Air I see a lot of smart folders I use on iMac and I thinked of a some old sync mismatch, so I deleted smart folders on Air.
Today when I turn on my iMac I see I lost ol my smart folders, but are differents computers, differents email accounts, one used for work the other at home (gmail).
Of course I have time machine backup but don't know how to restore smart folders.
Please help me, I don't want smart folders be synced beetween differents accounts
I attach my iCloud settings...

I don't know the answer to your question, but smart folders do not actaually contain messages, just links to messages from other folders. So nothing has actually been lost. Once you recreate the smart folders, you'll see the same mail inside them that you did before.

My email keeps loading the same emails even after deleting them. They keep coming back everytime I start up the mail app. What can I do?

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility. Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
Hope this helps

Flagged mails shown in "flagged" folder after deleting them

Hi folks,
I have the following problem with my mail app:
I marked 4 mails as flagged and they were shown in the "flagged"-folder. After deleting them the flagged folder shows still the 4 flagged mails although they are deleted. Meanwhile I reinstalled the specific mail account, restarted the iPhone and so on. Nothing helped. Any ideas? Thx in advance.

Hi Laura
I'm not sure you said which version of RoboHelp you are
using. I'm going to base my answer on X5.
You should find a file inside your project folder location
that is named rhbuildtag.apj. So what I would do is to close
RoboHelp HTML, locate and delete your ProjectName.CPD file. Edit
the rhbuildtag.apj file to remove any instances of those tags. Then
restart RoboHelp HTML and see if things have improved. If my hunch
is correct, this should correct the issue.
Cheers... Rick

Can I lock items at favorites bar?

It happened to me a few times that I accidentally dragged bookmarks from the Favorites Bar while opening Safari. I opened it and wanted to drag the browser window to a location and accidentally dragged such a bookmark from the Favorites Bar, resulting in that 'poof' cloud and I had to see which bookmark I dragged out of it to add it again.
Isn't there some way to lock bookmarks from the Favorites Bar? Just like I can lock items from the Dock? Some Terminal command?

to lock the dock run the following commands from the terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
killall Dock
Make sure you press enter after "killall Dock"
To unlock it change "true" to "false" in the above. Also, I believe Onyx http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html
provides a UI way to do it if you are uncomfortable with using the terminal.

Deleting item on favorite bar running above the tab bar, how do I do that?

Above the tab bar in Firefox there are a series of headings like Online Training, Most Visited, Animation Effects etc. How do I delete one of these items from that bar? In the past, I've emptied the cache, but I don't think this is a cache issue. Please advise. Mike Hortens

Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

Contacts reappear after deleting them (Exchange)!?

Hello everyone,
I'm not entirely sure if the following problem only occurred after upgrading to Yosemite or if it was there before.
However, I recently noticed "contacts" in the Mac contacts app that I didn't save there. They are just email addresses shown as such, without a name or anything.
Those where mostly people I've sent mails to, but didn't bother to save them as an actual contact. Nevertheless, that also happened with email addresses that where already linked to a proper contact. This for example confused FaceTime or Mail. Those apps where not able anymore to relate the mail addresses to the actual contact. After deleting those strange contacts everything was fine for some time, but now they keep coming back. Every time I delete them they show up again a day or two later. I have no idea what triggers that.
I've got two accounts synced with my address book. One being my iCloud account the other one an university Exchange account. Furthermore those contacts don't show up on my iPhone. I also noted that I don't see these contacts when I just choose the iCloud contacts in my address book. So I guess it must have something to do with the Exchange contacts!? I already deleted the account twice and also deleted the relevant library files as well as recent recipients from mail. Still they keep coming back. It's always the same couple of addresses and they don't really have something in common. At least nothing I can see.
It's really annoying. I should mention that I keep the exchange contacts in sync because I can then easily search for people's mail addresses from my university. Furthermore, as far as I know I shouldn't be able to create new contacts on that Exchange account and the contacts in question are not university mail addresses.
Has anyone experienced similar problems or does anyone know where the contacts app pulls those contacts from?
Thank you for your help
