Multiple desktops and how do I remove them?

How do I even end up with multiple desktops and how do I remove them. All gets very confusing!
Thank you

Swipe up with 4 fingers, or press F3 (or fn+F3 depending on how you have your keyboard configured)
At the top of your screen should be all your desktops simply hover your mouse around the top left area of one of them (apart from the first one) and a X will appear which you can click to close it

  • What are these shared computers and how do I remove them from Finder?

    I have four Macs on my closed, hidden wifi network. Two iMacs and Two macbooks. For some reason, two unknown computers are showing up on the network, but only on two out of the four macs, one imac and one macbook, incedentally the two units with built in SD card readers. They are: hp0025b3e8a8ca and hp3c4a921329ca. I'll post a screen shot. They both have one folder called MEMORY_CARD and I can't open it. I've double checked, I don't have SMB sharing enabled on any of my macs. They have the little icon associated with a windows machine. Any idea what these are and how I can remove them from finder? is someone else on my network?

    How are u connected, as in ISP, University Network, etc.? I get shares like that too, as my ISP here in Nepal is using some crazy way of sharing connections with customers. I called and asked them once, but they have not clue about Macs. I suspect it's a technician doing some work in the office, who is tapped into the same C1 connection that I am using, but it is a bit disconcerting to see computers you don't know on your Network.
    When I teach in Thailand, I am on a university system that will show all the users connected to the same hotspot. That's why I lock down my sharing when there. It's kinda crazy, as I don't really understand all the security settings and what they imply. It would be nice if there were a guide for home/small business Lans on what exactly the settings should be in OSX, but I suppose it's all out there in Google, somewhere...

  • What causes vertical color lines on ipad2 and how do you remove them ?

    What causes vertical color lines on an IPad. And how do you remove them ?

    Try this  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    If still present: Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Don't believe it's a factor, but you should update your iOS.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • In my storage summary it says other files. It shows 30GB what are these files and how do I remove them

    I am trying to remove files to get my computer to run better. In the storage summery it shows a category OTHER. What are these file and how can I remove them. I went through my downloads and documents and copied them and then removed them. What else could they be??

    They are files that cannot be put in the other categories. They are documents, email, cache, temp, OS files, etc.

  • What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

    Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

    I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

    You need to delete Bitdefender from your Mac. It will cause you nothing but problems.
    Removing Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
    The best way to prevent malware from being installed on your Mac is to enable Gatekeeper.
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Inproper Uninstalled apps still appear and try to update in CC desktop. How do I remove them?

    Due to some stupidity I have cleaned up my programs folder on my Mac (OSX Maverick) and deleted my CS6 instances of my Adobe programs, as I am using the CC versions with pleasure. The CC desktop however doesn't recognise that these CS6 apps are deleted and therefore should not show up in my App-list. But they do, and therefore the app is even trying to update them every once in a while, with al the obvious errors as outcome.
    How do I remove Apps listed in the Apps list in the CC desktop, when they are no longer physicaly present in my program folder?

    Hi m{ART}in,
    Please refer the solutions provided in the following article.

    Please let me know in case of any problem.

  • Some bookmarks have "grown" a suffix of 3 characters âЄ . The bookmarks still work. What are these nutty suffixes and how do I remove them? Many have been "infected"?

    These suffixes are unwanted and have infected all my browsers Firefox and IE9. Some bookmarks are unaffected. This also happened on my previous PC running Windows Vista and IE8. I edited all the affected bookmarks to remove the suffixes, but now they're back.

    Upgrade your browser to Firefox ab and check

  • I copied ipad icons onto my windows desktop how do I remove them?

    My dad was trying to add an icon to his desktop and managed to copy about 12 ipad icons onto his desktop and I can't remove them for him.
    They are large and don't respond to the cursor. I looked in desktop but they aren't listed. I renamed them a text file which listed them in the desktop
    folder and deleted them vbut the icons are still on his desktop.

    Hi its Kitzy1 reporting in. Had difficulty locating my own message. We found two responses in my dad's email. Thank you so much for responding as I felt really alone and confused.  My sister figured out that somehow my dad had made a wallpaper with the ipad icons which is why they didn't respond to the cursor.  Once I got a clue, I figured out it was a corruption of his user profile in windows and fixed it!  Thank you thank you for responding. It was definitely a humdinger!  Katherine

  • Why did my library duplicate itself and how do I remove it?

    Why did my library duplicate itself and how do i remove them?

    An iTunes manual? It is supposed to be so intuitive you don't need a manual.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/
    Most people don't have issues, but most people posting here do, obviously, why else would they come?
    With regards to the way iTunes works (when it is working as it is supposed to) if you use the software the way the designers expected you to it all works out OK. The problems start with those of us who think things should work slightly differently and get then confused with the results. At that point you either have to learn to work the way the program expects you to, or work around it. I encourage people to do work with it, as is easier, but in practice I write scripts to enforce my will on iTunes.

    Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

  • I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
    what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
    The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
    The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export  --  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive
