Lion seems to have added calendars I don't want
Since upgrading to Lion many things I don't like have happened. Wish I had not done so, except for the nice brushed aluminum log-in screen.
But in any case, a whole bunch of calendars have been added to my iCal that I do not want. It doesn't seem I can delete them. This is looking more like a Microsoft product all the time, arrogantly acting as though it knows better than I do.
If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
To restore the old appearance right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
* Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:

hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??
Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area. -
How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.
Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
Best of luck,

Some of my songs in iTunes seem to have added a few minutes of dead air....
I noticed that a few of my songs in iTunes seem to have added a few minutes of dead air space at the end. For example, I just played a song that should have lasted 4 minutes, and it is showing up under the "time" heading as "12.47." When I played this song, it played out for the 4 minutes, and then continued to play dead air for another 8 minutes. How did this happen and how can I fix it?

How can i delete a number of emails at once? I have a backlog and don't want to go through them all.
how can i delete a number of emails at once? I have a backlog and don't want to go through them all.
No.
With an Exchange or IMAP account you can delete the messages with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account - all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
Not possible with an antiquated POP account. -
Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks
you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically -
I have CS6 and I don't want it to break, but I need CC. Need installation tips (mac)...
I have a CS6 suite and I don't want it to break, but I need CC.
I don't have time this week for major problems especially since CS6 suite is working great.
What's the latest news on installations such as this where CS6 suite exists, are they successful with the latest installers, versions etc.
Are problem installations effecting the CS suites, or are the problems isolated and only causing problems with CC?
Do I jump in, or run away?
thanks in advance.

Mac 10.8.5Hi J,
The answer is 'YES'. You can install CS6 and CC on the same machine without causing abreak in fucntionality of any CS6 apps.

I subscribed to someone because my friends quota had been reached, not realizing that it might trigger me into Timeline. They say that public will be able to see my timeline on August 13!!! I DON'T WANT IT, don't want to look at it myself or have it represent me! How can i stop this!!! There is no REDRESS!!! other than exiting the entire thing...
Everyone is going to have their Facebook profile changed to the Timeline view in the near future.
Although you might be able to use an add-on to reformat how ''you'' see the page, that won't affect how others see your profile.
Rather than search for "hacks" that are unlikely to help, you should think about hiding any activity you don't want shown in your Timeline. Check your general privacy settings, and also scroll through your timeline and hide whatever you want hidden. If you are an active user, this could take a while... -
I have an iPhone4 and don't want to upgrade to iOS6, can I still update all my apps?
I have an iPhone4 but I don't want to upgrade to iOS6. I have iOS5 on my phone now. Is it okay to continue updating all my apps, even those apps formatted for the new iOS6? If I continue updating all my apps, will that alter my iOS5 peformance on the iPhone4?
You should be able to update your app... there are a very few selected apps that require a higher iOS. I so far had 1 app the required 5.1 on my iPad and im still on 5.01.

I downloaded Flip4Mac onto my iMac, hoping to use it for a device, but it didn't work. Now I want to delete it, but I don't know how so how can I do it and I don/t want it to take up any space.

Mac OS X Lion seems to have reversed my default scrolling direction.
Just installed Lion, so far so good, except that scrolling has reversed directions - that is to say twin-finger scrolling in an upwards direction causes a downward scroll on the page and vice versa; twin-finger scrolling in an leftward direction causes a right-direction scroll on the page and vice versa. Lion has essentially 'reversed' my default scrolling rules.
Sys Pref does not seem to be able to change it back. Can anyone help?Hello:
The answer you got from the previous poster is correct. With OS X 10.7, Apple reversed the scroll direction.
I have been told (and it makes sense) this was done to make a Mac behave in the same way as an iPhone and iPad. From here, that seems to be true. I did find that one gets used to the reversed direction quite rapidly - especially if you have an iPad

The following script works fine on a Snow Leopard machine, but hangs or throws an error during save out on a Lion machine:

======================
In Console messages I was finding the following along with error -1708:
.sdef warning for argument 'FileType' of command 'save' in suite 'Standard Suite': 'saveable file format' is not a valid type name.
So, I thought I'd change the save line as follows:
save document 1 as "QuickTime movie" in thePath
While this didn't solve the problem, it threw an error and allowed the script to continue with the error dialog rather than hang.
Interestingly, though, the Snow Leopard machine seems to register the same error and yet still manages to save the file correctly.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,

Mountain Lion seems to have broken my multiple-monitor setup.
I have a 6-monitor setup, which has been working fine for the last 5 OSX updates... but now, three primary problerms:
- one of the screens is half-dead. I can mouse to it and the curor appears and moves around, but the screen is otherwise black and nothing will appear on it. I can't even set a background on it.
- my primary desktop space which is 2560x1600 keeps reverting to 1024x768 when I reboot which of course re-messes up the desktop layout.
- in fact, all of the configuration changes with respect to displays get lost with reboot... resolution and screen locations with respect to each other... Agh.
I'm sincerely hoping many others are experiencing the same thing, so I'll know Apple is working on correcting the issue.
.. anyone else?Well, I'll reply to my own message in case anyone winds up here and wonders what to do. Here's what I did... I reverted back to Lion, restored perfectly from Time Machine to where my machine was a few days ago and I'm back in business.
This is the first time ever I've had to revert a Mac OS upgrade, but the simple fact seems to be this is a bug and perhaps an update or two from now I'll try again... once someone else has confirmed multiple video cards are properly supported.
Needless to say, my machine is completely factory parts... the cards came purchased with the computer and I haven't modified anything. None of this wrong driver, IRQ conflict, DMA channel issues and whatever else I thought I left behind when I switched from PC to Mac.
First time for everything, but perhaps Apple missed a QA cycle or two before pulling the trigger on this one.
