MyStart-by Incredibar - How do I get rid of it. I have tried resetting Firefox in all ways ad infinitum, and all the other suggestions I can find. I

For the past few months I have been trying to get rid of MyStart by Incredibar. I have reset my computer to Firefox default, I have restarted Firefox with and without addons, I have searched with windows explorer and found and removed anything with incredibar and mystart and even file extensions. I am not particularly adept at understanding all the programming that constitutes the set up of my computer but with a step by step guide I can probably clean my machine. Please will someone help me just get rid of it.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe. i really just want my money back. Very disappointed. Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum.

You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be applicable.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

How do I get rid of BrowserDefender.exe, accidently imported with Firefox

I accidently acquired a malware program BrowserDefender.exe when I downloaded Firefox from the Internet onto my new laptop. All other software loaded by me has been from legal discs, used successfully on our Desktop. My anti-virus software is displaying annoying pop-up messages. I am unable to delete the folders because "one of the files is in use by another program". My ISP tech support people had the same problem.
the beast resides on my laptop in c:\Programdata\BrowserDefender\

Your best bet would be to visit one of the forums specializing in malware removal listed in the '''How do I get rid of malware?''' section of this article:

How do I get rid of Google each time I open firefox?

How do I get rid of the Google that sits on the page. I think I have the right to deside when I wish to use google - no body else.

Thanks for the thought - but I probably do not understand. I expect to see "About:blank". If I set that up I get instead "About:home" and even then it seems google is still in the center of the page - and there is even a list of "abouts" to consider.
I must have a search engine of some sort - I would prefer one that is not doubling up as a statistics collector. I want to be able to get an empty page with the option to put in my search (or address) at the head and not see anything else. Every time I experiment with that need, eventually Google comes back. It used to be like that in the old days....

How do I get rid of myinfotopia? I am using Firefox

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
 also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
 finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
Thank you!

The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted. This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat. Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.

My apple iP ad and charger plug keep getting very hot. I have tried resetting it but this doesn't help. Please can anyone help?

please can you help? My apple I pad min version 7.1 (11D167) model MD531B/a. Capasity 13.4 GB keeps getting very hot and the charger plug. It seem to run down quickly too. It's been going on for a long time now. I have tried resetting it but this does nothing. Kind regards Rosemary.

Hi Rosemary,
These devices will get very warm (even uncomfortably so) when charging. From my own experience this is exacerbated if the device is in use at the time of charging or if the device is in a case that does not allow air to reach the device.
You will see a warning on the iPad's display in the form of a yellow triangle and exclamation mark long before the device reaches a dangerous temperature.
As long as the device is no warmer than a nice cup of coffee, you're in the clear.
As you have mentioned that your battery is draining quickly, this could indicate that the processes running at the time are rather intensive on the iPad's resources and this would naturally raise the temperature of the iPad.
If you have a look in Settings>General>Usage and look for the Standby and Usage times toward the bottom, are the two numbers significantly different? If you see that the Usage and Standby times are identical then you are experiencing a software issue where the device is not entering sleep as it should when not in use.
Cheers

How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
* Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
* Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
'''Using the Stylish Addon''':
# Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
# Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <code>#brandLogo {   visibility: hidden; }</code> must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
I hope that helped you!
''If it did, please mark this answer as the solution so that others can find information on the forums quickly. Thanks!
And of course, please post back if you need more help.

How do i get rid of "homecomputer" that is trying to share with me?

I think someone may be trying to share something with my computer, but I have no idea who would do this and do not wish to share. In Finder, on the left, underneath SHARED, there is an icon of an old looking computer that says "homecomputer." Every once in a while the eject symbol shows up next to it, but when I click it nothing happens, and the eject button disappears. Clicking the "homecomputer" once, a file shows up on the right that says "SharedDocs." On the top it says Connected as: Guest. The file contains several other files such as AOL Downloads, some songs, sample pictures, etc. Its possible a neighbor accidentally connected, but I wish to delete this for security reasons. However, I can't delete it. Please help me get rid of this!

If you have a Network listed under Devices or Shared in the Finder's sidebar, then click on it to open the Network window. If you see an icon for "homecomputer" displayed, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Eject from the contextual menu or simply drag it to the Trash.
If no Network is listed, then select Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar, then check the topmost box, Computer. Now in the Finder's sidebar you should see an entry under Devices labeled Computer or your computer name. Select it, and you should now see a Network icon displayed.
If this doesn't work, then check your settings in the File Sharing panels in System Preferences. It may be helpful to turn off file sharing, wait for it to stop, then restart it.
If your wireless network is not protected, then I suggest you configure your router to turn on WPA2 security and assign a password to access your network.

How do i get rid of these dumb icons on my menu bar. they are not useful and they take up too much room. why did you do this?

i just upgraded to the new version of firefox. for some inexplicable reason, you've added icons to the left of my personal menu choices in the menu bar. these icons are purely decorative, they take up too much room, and now i can't display as many clickable items in the menu bar. extremely irritating. if you are going to add junk, at least give us the option to not display it. is there a way that i can turn off the display of these useless icons?

thank you! that worked! appreciate how quickly and accurate the support was.
that said,
it would be nice if the icons were the add-on,
and the default was no icons.
i'm sure the majority of your users would prefer function rather than fluff.
thanks again, mj

TS3694 When I went in to back up my new iphone, I didn't go in as new phone and I lost my iOS 6 setting. How do I get it back? i have tried downloading ios on my computer, get anything from 6 hours to 34 hours to download!! Is there anyway on the phone i

I went in again, chosing restore, itunes is currently downloading again! this time it says 44 minutes remaining. If my computer goes into hibernation, I have to restart and then download says 4 to 35 hours?? Trying to recover the ios6 is frustrating. I didn't chose the correct set up as new phone, because I wanted to set up my apps, etc. My new iphone is the 4GS, and it came already set up with the ios 6. Just trying to get it back! Also, can not get my wifi to set up. Thought it would recognize the settings and all I would need to do is put in my ID and password? My download is now saying 66 minutes?

If you want to go to the first set-up screen of iPhone, like after a restore, then on iPhone tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If you want to have your iPhone basically Restore itself, then tap Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
