.Mac icon won't disappear in iMac?

Hi Folks, I will post this also in the .Mac forum but perhaps somebody here can provide help also. I tested .Mac and will not be subscribing. Unfortunately, the .Mac server icon -- the iDisk, is permanently on my desktop and I can't remove it by dragging it to the trash can. Any particular trick to getting rid of it?
Thanks,

Thanks! You know, I had tried that and kept getting the error messages about how I don't have an account any longer, etc. The actual trick is to remove your name and password from the main .Mac window under System Preferences. Once I erased the name and password (even though I no longer use it and nothing was working) it took the iDisk off the desktop. Voila!
Thanks!

    I currently dont have the issue but am up to date on all the above.
    To get BBMessenger on the PlayBook, you need 3 things:
    Bridge update (1.0.0.83, I recomend 1.0.0.93 which is latest)
    PlayBook OS 1.0.3 or higher (best to get the latest version of PlayBook OS.) current is 1.0.5.2342
    BBM update (5.0.3.22) available on App World via your smartphone.
    Links for Bridge if your carrier blocks it in app world.

  • Email notification icon won't disappear

    Dear Nokia Team,
    I use my 5800XM to read my emails on my Gogglemail-Account via Mail for Exchange.
    I got the common problem, that the "new mail"-notification icon on the top-right corner of the screen won't disappear, although all emails ar marked as read and my mail-inbox doesn't count more then 100 mails.
    This thread says, that the only way around this issue is to hard reset the phone. I did a hard reset on my phone an everything seemed to work just fine, but the issue returned after a few days.
    This bug is really annoying - please help me!

    Ch.

  • Spaces Icon won't disappear

    Another random issue I have been having is that every now and then is with spaces. When navigating between spaces, the 4 window icon comes in the middle of the screen to indicate which space I am in, however occasionally this does not disappear, so I am stuck with the spaces icon in the middle of the screen. This is annoying especially when watching something, any idea why this maybe happening? how can i stop it?

    I have no idea why this happens. I have had it from time to time for a couple of months. I have found that I can get rid of it for a while by restarting or just logging out and in again.
    I also note that it does not occur if I change spaces by choosing the one I want in the Spaces icon in the menu bar, but I like to just use keystrokes.
    I really like to use spaces (nine of them), but find the persistent icon a real problem, and never know how many hours or days until it shows up again.
    Does not seem to be a common problem judging by how hard I had to look for the topic here.

  • 8330 call forwarding icon won't disappear

    I have a 8330 and I cannot get the call forwarding icon to disappear. Last week I had to forward my number to my office number. I then got a new phone number on this curve. I can make and receive call normally. But the call forwarding icon is still on the top of the screen. When I go into the call forwarding menu it shows calls being forwarded to my office. If I try to change that to "do not forward" the phone tries to make a call but I get the "Your call cannot be completed as dialed". I have also tried to change the call forward number but same result as above. Anyone have any ideas?!?!?

  • DNA ICON WON'T DISAPPEAR FROM STARTUP

    I just used dna personality migration to back up a user's settings. Now
    the dna icon appears in startup right after zen client loads. It loads
    even though I have logged in workstation only. Clearing it out of the
    user profile startup doesn't work. I don't want to give the laptop back
    with this icon loading on the desktop.

  • "Waiting" icon won't disappear

    Hi all,
    I tried to download Line2, but had trouble and give up. I then noticed the "waiting" icon had already appeared.
    The crazy thing is that not only can't I delete the "waiting" icon when I hold my finger down on it for a couple seconds, but also the the "waiting" icon appears on my iTunes Applications tab and I can't delete it from there.
    Any suggestions as to how to get ride of it?

    That is a new one on me, however here is a link to troubleshooting apps in the App Store. If you scroll down, you can see a link to report problems. They may be able to help you out on that. I cannot give you any further information, I don't know anything else to do. Sorry.

  • VIP unread icons won't disappear

    This is getting ridicolous. I already spotted several discussions over this problem.
    To summarize, when I access iCloud Mail web service (icloud.com), in the VIP section on the left I constantly see unread badges showing random numbers (unread emails) on random VIP addresses I set up. There is no link whatsover with the read/unread status of actual emails. These numbers are random and keep showing no matter what action is performed: I already tried to mark as UNREAD these messages and then open it in the iCloud web service; I tried to revoke VIP status from the affected addresses, to then reassign it with no success.
    I tried every combination of READ/UNREAD between iPhone and iCloud website, but nothing changes.
    I really love iCloud and I finally migrated from GMail, setting up all the service through Apple cloud apps. But I find this quite ridicolous, since it's a persistent and irritating bug. And, above all, completely ignored. I see people saying that out of nowhere got their account "bonified". I still haven't.
    I hope to see this issue solved, too much time having to deal with this issues.
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    I think this might fix it...
    Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Why won't my Intel iMac boot up, either from the internal hard drive or the DVD drive? It just displays a light grey screen, without any other icons, etc. The fact that it won't boot from the original system DVD is what baffles me the most. Any ideas?

    If the C key for Install Disc or R Command for OS X Recovery startup commands are not working, try holding the Option key for the Startup Manager.
    see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    If that does not work and you using a wireless keyboard, it may have become unpaired and you need to dig up a USB keyboard to invoke the startup commands.

  • The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

    The volume icon on my ipod touch won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full. I have tried a master reset etc, but it doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I do not know what a "master reset" is.

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
