2. how can i delete apps on launchpad with no x in jiggle mode

Open Terminal.
Copy and Paste the following command:
mv ~/L*/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ~/Desktop; killall Dock; exit
Hit Enter
Log out of your account and back in.
If this fixes your problem, you can trash the file moved to your desktop.

My new ipod touch has no icons, just background screen. Help?

The screen of a new iPod will have a iTunes and a USB cord icons. To use the iPod you first have to connect the iPod to a computer with an internet connect and which has the latest version of iTunes installed. ITunes will give you instructions after you connect the iPod to the computer.

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.

When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set when the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?

When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set after the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?.
I'm not aware of anything I might have done, but it's annoying to want to use an icon on the 1st page, only to see all the icons on page 1 shift rapidly to the left
and I can't find a way to shift back to page 1.
Is there a way of getting all my Launchpad icons onto 1 page by adjusting their size?

Thanks for that. I think the 2 little white dots were hidden by the white frame round the desktop picture on my screen
As you can see from the pic, there is a broad white frame around the image.

Razor-qt has no icons.

I've just installed razor-qt, and found it has no icons at all in panel and configure center.
There's no icon in icon manager too.
How can I solve this? Or I should wait the next release?

Ah now here is where I'm confused. Razor-qt is not in the official repos, it resides in the AUR. Did you install it via a tool such as yaourt? If you can't remember, try installing it via pacman, and it should return that it does not exist. I just tried to confirm, it is not in the official repos.
I may go out on a limb here, but if pacman installs the package, then paste this please:
cat /etc/pacman.conf
FYI: Razor-qt is still in heavy development, it may still have bugs with every release. Depending on who maintains the package, they could have updated it to a broken version, though we can still probably fix the icons.

My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on and then loses the connection with itunes and at the end of the download it just asks me to restore it again.

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.

My mail, when reading an email, has an icon which is like a box with an arrow pointing down into it, what is it for? When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. It still apperars in "all Mail" mailbox.

When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. The email, which was moved from my inbox still apperars in "ALL Mail" mailbox.

That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.

Every link on Wikipedia has an icon after it

I just got a new computer (Dell XPS15 running Windows 7). After installing Firefox 8, I've noticed that every single link on Wikipedia now has an icon after it. It's the icon that only USED to appear after links off-site, but now it appears after every link. It does not appear to happen on any other page. Is this a computer problem, a Firefox problem, or a Wikipedia problem?

A number after a link refers to a footnote.
A box with an arrow refers to an external (not at Wikipedia).
There are styles that you can install that will provide more of a breakdown links and if they are PDF files etc. Some examples of such styles:
* [http://userstyles.org/styles/2421/show-url-types Show URL Types - userstyles.org]
* [http://userstyles.org/styles/2538/link-warning-cursor-hover-various-filetypes Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org]
* [http://userstyles.org/styles/292/visited-links-png-image-based-on-marcanth-s Visited Links PNG Image (based on marcanth's) - userstyles.org]
* [http://userstyles.org/styles/2538/link-warning-cursor-hover-various-filetypes Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org]
* [http://userstyles.org/styles/1301/link-warning Link Warning - Themes and Skins for Mozilla - userstyles.org]
You can test that quickly by if done with a style enabled with the "Stylish" extension by simply disabling Stylish at its toolbar icon or in the extensions options -- no need to actually disable the stye itself such that you have to take Firefox down.
It is possible that you have a theme doing that try
:View ("At+V") > Page Style > Basic Style (as opposed to a named theme)

Screen orientation lock. Double click the home button to bring up the recent app bar. Then finger swipe left-to-right to bring up the iPod controls. The icon on the far left (circle with lock in it) is the orientation lock button - press it, and the lock will go away.

Launchpad has a empty progress bar underneath it. How do I remove it?

The launchpad has a empty progress bar underneath it. I have recently downloaded application but I am sure they were complete downloads. The only other thing is the recent OS update. Please help !!!

This procedure will reset the state of LaunchPad to its default. Any customization that you did will be removed.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Dock
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names ending in ".db". Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the folder open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the files you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Then log out and in again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
