My iMac is slow, and I don't know how to "delete cookies" etc. as I could do on my PC.  Can you help me?

Please tell me how to "delete cookies" or whatever its equivalent would me on my iMac.  It is slowing down.

It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • Ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs?

    ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs? I can't delete the songs from my computer because they aren't in a specific playlist, they just got randomly added to my songs on my phone.

    I just found out that I am having the same problem!! It is driving me nuts. Now I know why I am running out of space on my iPhone. It's ghosting the others songs, until you see them when you go to sync. Hopefully, someone has an answer. I have gone through every HELP subject and discussion board I could find on the situation.

  • I loaded my Iphone3 from Itunes and I don't know how to delete these songs and put a new set of songs into my phone

    I loaded my Iphone 3 from Itunes and don't understand how to delete all these songs to add a new library of songs
    Can I do it from my Iphone or do I have to do it through Itunes.  HELP plz!

    You can delete songs direct from the iPhone.
    To add additional songs from your iTunes library on your computer is done with iTunes on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can remove all the existing and transfer different songs, albums, genres, etc.

  • TS3276 Outgoing large mail is stuck in my outbox and I don;t know how to delete it.

    I have a large mail in my outbox and I can't delete it??  Just have a whirly symbol going round!  Help please....

    1. Quit Mail
    2. Locate the Mail folder in your user's Library folder (you may need this Terminal command if your library folder is hidden:   (http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/)
    3. Search for and locate the Outgoing Mail folder, open it, and delete the file enclosed.  (Since I don't have any outgoing mail at the moment, I'm not sure if it is in the mail ~/Library/Mail folder, or in one of the account folders... just nose around 'til you find it)
    4. Re-start Mail, and you should be good to go.

    All the photos from my computer were transferred to my iphone.  I don't know what I did to make that happen and I can't even delete them from my phone.  I had to reset and restore my phone to original settings and lost all my iphone photos and contacts and messeges.  Has this happened to anyone who might know how to fix this or next time I sync my iphone to prevent the photos from my computer from downloading onto my phone?

    You delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone, sync

  • HT201302 My iPhone took photos from my computer and I don't know how to delete them

    It's driving me nut. When I go into iTunes, the only option I have is to import FROM my PC to the iPhone. I guess it automatically did this once and now I can't see how to delete the photos from my phone. Any help?

    If you unselect the photos to sync in iTunes then they will be deleted from your iPhone.

  • I am using iCal 8.0 and I don't know how to include event times along side the event in the monthly view.  help.  :)

    I am using iCal Version 8.0 (2026)
    I have read through responses to a similar question as I am posing, but the recommendations that I've found don't seem to be in the iCal preferences/ general tab.
    Two great solutions that don't seem to be in my preferences winder are: 
    1.  A respondent recommended checking the box 'show event times' on the general/ preferences tab, but that box does not appear in my window
    2.  A second response i found recommended that 'I check box for 'Show time in Month view.' in Under General/ preferences, but that option is not appear either.
    Any other thoughts please

    The grouped yellow pages are a Section (Chapter).
    If you have logical divisions within your documents that fall on page boundaries, do the sensible thing and actually divide them with:
    Menu > Insert > Section Break
    …where you want the separation. Both before and after.
    Moving or removing individual pages is like ripping pages out of a book and/or reshuffling them. It makes sense to relocate or remove entire sections, which are pages connected by their content, but not the individual pages within those that have continuing text both before and after them.

  • I cannot delete the photos albums? it imported from my mac and i don't know how to delete it from iPhone :(

    Hi, this is the problem ok? I imported photos from my mac to my iphone and now i want to delete it, but when i go to Edit the red botton doesn't appear .. so pleas help me thank you 

    Photos that were placed on an iPhone by using iTunes to sync them from a computer are deleted by syncing again. If you want to delete all previously synced photos from the phone, remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the Photos page of iTunes; if you want to remove only some, change the selection of folders/albums on that page. Each time you sync with iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • Sorry, I don't know how to delete this.

    我的开发过程是建立一个工程,然后有一个控制器子程序和一个主机子程序。车间有10台PC控制器,运行的是相同的应用程序,但IP地址各不相同,中控室有1台主机,主机通过局域网采集每台控制器的实时数据。
    请问大家,如果让控制器使用一个网络发布的共享变量来向主机发送检测数据,这无疑是最方便简单的,但同时有十份相同的程序,会不会使主机无法辨认谁是谁啊?这种架构的网络,大家觉得怎么样做比较好?

    I'm also starting to get more and more 'wierd' emails in Mail saying such things as: "Sorry this is a virus" "download soofware" and I don't know how to delete them without clicking on the subject, which then opens it, right?
    Firstly, ignore any email which claims you have a virus, offers you software to deal with a virus, or claims that a virus is going round and you should delete something to cope with it -even if it comes from a friend. There are no active viruses on Macs at the moment, and these emails are always scams or hoaxes.
    You can delete emails without opening them by hitting command-I in Mail, which will open a list of emails on the server (if you have more than one account navigate to the right one). Select the message(s) you want to delete and hit the delete key: wait while the server deals with it.

  • I have a mac 15" non retina and i didn't upgrade it to mavericks .. when i run photoshop my pc becomes very slow and i don't know why!! the performance on photoshop is up to 70% so i think is good .. what is the problem?

    i have a mac 15" non retina and i didn't upgrade it to mavericks .. when i run photoshop my pc becomes very slow and i don't know why!! the performance on photoshop is up to 70% so i think is good .. what is the problem?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I've an iMac with OS X 10.4.11. Sudden email problem: every received email has, after the header, 1 - 2 pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, etc.) I don't know why this now happening, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    I have an iMac using OS X 10.4.11. Beginning several days ago, all incoming emails have, after the usual email header and before the message appears, one to two pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, Content-Transfer-Encoding, etc.). This is similar and more complex that the info one receives when an undeliverable email bounces back. I don't know where this stuff comes from, or how it came, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? I'm something of a newbie to computers (um, what's a Tag?).

    That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
    Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
    I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer.

  • Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen?  It goes back to my desktop.  Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen and I don't know how to get out of it.

    Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen ~ It goes back to my desktop.
    Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen without me doing any commands, and I don't know how to get out of it without going to force quit and starting all over. 

    Hi,
    When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
    On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...
