    I think I've isolated it to the Cisco webex plugin. Have you done an online conference recently? In the finder go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and thenfind the webex plugin. Remove it and restart safari. In chrome go to chrome://plugins and disable the plugin.

  • How can I get rid of that row of icons below the bookmarks, which has Startnow on the left and Twitter on the right?

    I sought help among the available articles. I was informed that right clicking on a vacant part of the toolbar would give me the option to delete or hide it. Doesn't seem to work with this one. In fact, right clicking anywhere on this row isn't working. If I right click the "startnow" icon, it takes me to that page. I really don't want this toolbar, as it wastes my desk space. How do I get rid of it?

    Do you see that toolbar in View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options if the menu bar is hidden?
    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

  • How do I get rid of a false number on mail icon on home page

    460 is on mail envelope on home page. I have no mail. How do I delete this number?

    Try following all the steps in this doc: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01618077&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc... if you have already done all these steps, try a partial reset by holding the # and 3 button down while uplugging the printer without turning it off.
    Wait 30 seconds and then hold the # and 3 button again while plugging the power back in and don't let go of the buttons until the warm up screen appears. If that still won't clear it out do the same reset as before but hold the # and 6 buttons instead of the 3 button and go through the same steps. If this still does not resolve the issue, it is time to call hp total care and get that printer replaced.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • How do I get deleted apps permanently off my phone. I delete the app but when I go to the application icon and update then to purchase I see the deleted apps with a cloud and arrow pointed down. How do I get rid of that.

  • App icons are ghosted in 7.1- how can I get rid of that? (iPhone)

    The first screen of app icons is ghosted and remains fixed on the background image as I swipe the 'real' app icons  from screen to screen. This happpened  with ios 7.1. Any ideas?

    Hello smdvmx,
    It sounds like your Home Screen is showing what appears to be your apps in the background and will not move, but you can still swipe left and right. From the way you describe what is happening, it seems as if the wallpaper for your Home Screen was changed to a screenshot of your Home Screen.
    Change the wallpaper. Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose a New Wallpaper.
    From: iPhone User Guide
              http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3d267104
    Try changing your wallpaper to something else and see if the issue still occurs.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I get rid of the iDisk icon from my desktop?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" with the latest version of Snow Leopard. My local hard drive icon was missing but thankfully I figured out how to get that back. However, I also have the blue iDisk icon on my desktop for which I have no use. How do I get rid of that icon? I trying ejecting it (Command-E) but to no avail.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Randy

    The same thing happened to me, and I finally found the answer. I thought I'd post in case others had the same problem:
    Snow Leopard has a new setting under System Preferences > MobileMe within the "iDisk" tab: there's a feature now called "iDisk Sync" that lets you create a virtual "DropBox" from your iDisk if this feature is turned on -- disabling it as a internet only drive.
    If you turn this feature off, however, your iDisk will work as expected and allow you to mount / eject it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

    Hi all,
    As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
    Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
    So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
    BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
    You should use whatever is more convenient.
    Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
    Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

  • When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up.  I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem.  So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?
