Mavericks strike two - now I have a Documents icon on the desktop *&^%$

Thank you Mavericks.
I was saving a photo in Photoshop and the pop-up save window showed "Documents" and I saved it there. I normally do that and later on I transfer those photos to other folders.
I closed Photoshop and noticed a new icon on the desktop called Documents. I diligently sent it to **** (to the trash) and when I tried to open the picture or any other file in Documents from within Favorites sidebar in Finder a window popped up saying the file could not be opened because it was in the trash.
I could see the Documents icon in Favorites and, within it, I could see all the files but could not open them.
I went to Trash and brought back Documents to the desktop. Only then could I open the files using Finder's Documents in Favorites.
I don't know where that Documents icon came from. Oh, and by the way my Photoshop folder in the sidebar's Favorites, just below Documents, vanished. I had to replace it.
I'm still dizzy from going back and forth with this blasted Mavericks, after having upgraded from Lion, with which I never had any issue.
I promised myself never again upgrade. Never. Not until this Mid-2011 27-incher crumbles from old age and I'm forced to buy a new one.
I just won't learn.

I have no clue as to what that is without more information. A colored icon, clear, anything inside of the round icon???
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
See if the icon goes away

I just downloaded Firefox on my maxpro and now I have 3 (three) icons on my desktop. if I only need one icon, how do I get rid of the other 2? Thank you.

When I was trying to download, I wasn't certain whether I was being "prompted" to attach the firefox icon to my application folder. When I didn't see the icon in the folder, I tried again - probably a total of 3 times. I searched my application folder and finally found firefox - it was in the form of a piece of paper - when I clicked on the paper the 3 icons appeared on my desktop. I surmised that I had successfully downloaded firefox 3 times...but I really don't trust myself in deleting 2...lest I thereby delete all of the download completely. Further, if it is safe to delete 2, is it enough to simply press the delete button over the icons to be removed or do I have todo something else?

You only need a Firefox icon, which you drag to the Applications folder alias after downloading the Firefox .dmg file.
Once the "Firefox" icon is inside the actual Applications folder, all other icons can be moved to the trash, including the Firefox .dmg installer, which looks like a piece of paper. The Firefox disk image, which looks like an external hard drive or Flash drive icon, should be ejected.
See
[[Installing Firefox on Mac]] for details.

Just upgraded my 2014 iMac to yosemite. Now my Bose sound link won't work. The bluetooth is connected and it beeps as normal, just no sound comes from the speaker. This is very frustrating (along with the now flat rather than 3D icons on the desktop)

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore. Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines. None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

Microsoft makes a version (written native for the Mac) of Office:

Some of us use iLife - an Apple product that almost seamlessly translates Microsoft programs (for example Word to Pages) back and forth. You can always export in a Microsoft format...

Maybe you could describe what the icon looks like?

The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

TS1702 I changed my ID, now i have problem to up date the apps I purchased with old ID. What soul i do?

Depends on what you mean by "changed", if edited your account on appleid.apple.com to use a different email then just ignore that fact it shows the old email and use your current password.
If you created a new appleid then those old apps will always stay associated with the old id, in that case you can only update them with the old password or uninstall them and then redownload them and they will be linked to your current id
cheers
