Need to re-set proxies to get rid of Privoxy

Hi, I downloaded Privoxy to get rid of adverts on ITV Player but it is driving me mad and I want to delete it.
Apparently, I need to change my proxy settings before I uninstall - but what do I change them to? I didn't note down what they were before....
Help - what settings do I choose?
Thank you

Thanks Carolyn - but I don't know what I need to put in the proxy boxes. At the moment it has the proxy for Privoxy...how do I know what I should ut in instead?
Thanks

NTFS-3G - Help setting up, and getting rid of .DS_Store files

Hello All,
I'm new to the Mac world so please bare with me. I installed this last night using a video from CNET on youtube, but the final command line they gave didn't work. I eventually mounted the disk and it seemed to work, however there were strange files and folders on the disk when I went back into Vista.
So I reinstalled everything and now I'm ready to try it again.
Could someone please give me a step by step way (step 1. Install Mac Fuse) of setting up Ntfs-3g and any command lines or anything I would need to use. Call me lame, but I don't understand the instructions as I keep finding different ones everywhere I look.
Secondly, could someone explain why I keep getting .DS_Store files and similar ones like that when I navigate into Windows? I realize these must be Mac system/meta files, but they're clogging up everything. Is there a way to either have them not be written, or be hidden/cleaned by vista.
Thanks for your help!
Jeff

actually, what would work awesome as well is a single directory where I could just put the files in that I need or want to modify....that would be another cool option if anyone knows how.

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.

Every time I try to install Firefox, it tells me I need to reboot my computer to get rid of the previous Firefox uninstall.

I had used Firefox in the past but it wasn't supported by my school's websites and I uninstalled it. Now it is supported and I want to reinstall it. Can someone help me with why it would keep asking me to reboot my computer after I've already restarted it 4 times now? Thanks.

Hi,
Please try after manually deleting the old Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory] (usually '''Computer''' > '''?:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''' or '''?:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''') and the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] (usually '''Computer''' > '''?:\Users\?\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla'''

My email storage shows 13.3 GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my mailbox with no attachments. Do I need to back up, delete everything and restore to get rid of the cache?

My email storage show 13.3GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my inbox with no attachments. I assume it's memory cache that's clogging my phone. Do I need to backup and restore to get rid of all of it??

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

Can't get rid of Login Screen

I recently deleted my guest account (guest moved out, don't need it anymore). I cannot get rid of the login screen for admin (me!) though. Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password, even though I deleted the password. I can get in by simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the login altogether.
Can anybody help?

Hello Brooks.
1. Open System Preferences and click Accounts.
2. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
3. Click Login Options.
4. Select the way you want users to log in (a list of users or a dialog asking for their name and password).
5. Select "Automatically log in as" if you want the computer to log one user in automatically each time it starts up. Then choose the user from the pop-up menu and enter the user's password when prompted.
If you turn automatic login on for yourself, the computer opens your account when it starts up. If you log out, other users see a login window to log into their user accounts.
Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password,
even though I deleted the password. I can get in by
simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the
login altogether.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when setting up automatic login. If you turn on automatic login for yourself, another user can restart the computer and have instant access to your user account when the computer starts up again.
I don't recommend deleting or getting rid of your login password and simply hitting enter to login. I'm the only user of my Mac and I've disable automatic login for my account to prevent a guest or anyone else from accessing all of my data in my Home directory by simply turning on the computer.

[SOLVED] Can't get rid of a wine-polluted text file icon [KDE]

Hello folks,
For some reason, my KDE system likes to use a Wine program based icon for all text files when I'm using a Faenza theme. The problem occurs only for my user (not root) so I think this is an user-specific issue.
I've already checked .local/share/icons folder for matching icon images. I found one which was named "text-plain.png", being equally the same "W-space" icon image as shown in the picture below. Thus I removed this png file from all necessary subfolders (22, 24, 32, 48...), so as far as I can think, there should not be any traces for the old icon image left. I've already re-checked all folders which I think are relevant to the issue. In addition, I've updated icon cache by using gtk-update-icon-cache and kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental commands. However, the system seems to disagree with me and the annoying icon appears still in text file icons.
The problem appears practically like in the following picture:
W-space icon image is very likely related to Adobe Photoshop which I've installed on my PlayonLinux installation (.PlayonLinux/wineprefix/photoshop). I still don't understand by which logic the system decides to use this W-space image for text files.
I wonder if I need to take further steps to get rid of this annoying icon. Am I missing something? All I want is that KDE would use basic Faenza icon for text files. Any hints are welcome!
Thank you!

Allright, this was, after all, a very simple issue. As expected.
I simply removed file /var/tmp/kdecache-fincer/icon-cache.kcache, rebooted the system and all icons are fine now.
Topic marked as solved.

Just Downloaded current version of iTunes, no longer shows any duplicates and has doubled up on nearly every song in the library, 1500 odd! Also don't want or understand i Cloud, how do I get rid of it?

I have Just downloaded the latest update to iTunes 11, it no longer shows any duplicates, and there are many, over 1500 songs. Also what is this iCloud? I neither want it, use it or need it, so how do I get rid of it? I have enough trouble merely getting in contact with iTunes, you don't make too many allowances for those of us who are not really computer savvy. Maybe I can dump the lot and revert to a friendlier (for me) version?

Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

Your index rebuild attempt obviously hit a bug. There is a similar bug for older versions of Oracle when attempting to (re-)build an unique index online and the recursive sql generated for checking the uniqueness is malformed.
Which version of Oracle is this database?
Manually manipulating the remaining objects is dangerous and can lead to ORA-600 errors when accessing the base object. If you run into this ORA-600 errors you need to bounce the database instance, that should fix the issue.
The remaining objects are supposed to be cleaned up by the SMON background process but it can take him a long time in busy systems(up to two days says Oracle). As long as there are ongoing transactions on the object the clean up procedure might not be able to complete and will attempt to re-try depending on Oracle version.
In more recent releases of Oracle (at least 10.2.0.1 and later) there should be a DBMS_REPAIR package that offers a function ONLINE_INDEX_CLEAN that manually invokes the cleanup procedure that SMON should be doing anyway, but it still may not be able to do the clean up due to concurrent DML activities.
If DBMS_REPAIR is not available in your database you can check for the installation script in the following location, but in older releases it does not contain the ONLINE_INDEX_CLEAN function. I'm not sure if this is available as backport to previous releases resp. as one-off patch:
{ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/dbmsrpr.sql

Help! Can I get rid of something?

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite CS2, upgraded to CS3.3 and now just upgraded to CS4. My question is, do I have to keep the CS2 and/or the CS3.3 on my computer or can I remove them? If I can remove them, do I have to uninstall them before I trash them? I really need to know what I can get rid of or if I have to keep them on there because my computer is acting weird and I don't know if all these programs are draining it's memory. Can anyone give me the answer I seek? It's much appreciated if you can!

Okay, .Buko... I now use a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac computer, which has Mac OS X version 10.5.6 on it. For my old G4 Mac, I bought CS2 Design Standard as my first CS version, so I would think that it has to stay since it's basically my "base" software (if you understand what I'm trying to say). Since I upgraded from CS2 to 3.3 and then upgraded to CS4, I would think it would be okay to remove CS3.3 from my computer but I don't know for sure. I suppose I could just throw one away and if it doesn't work, start all over. I guess what I need to know is, when you upgrade a software do you have to keep the previous one on the computer in order for the upgrade to work? CS4 is already installed, I just don't like the idea that 3 versions of CS are on my hard drive, and I need to know if one or both of the previous versions can be removed. Can anyone help me with this question? Please, let me know if you can! Thanks a bunch for starting to help, .Buko. I hope I have helped you more by giving you some insight into the computer I use.

Get rid of SQL Server Standard by attaching disk to another VM?

I created a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM on azure. Somehow, it got created with an image that supports SQL Server Standard. I don't need this support and it's very expensive. I was told by a billing support person that I would need to delete
the image to get rid of the charge.
However, I already have my users and programs setup on this VM. I don't want to have to delete it and setup the entire VM again.
Is it possible to delete the current VM, but attach the hard disk to another VM. Would I be able to get rid of the SQL Server Standard charge this way?

Try to rebuild the VM, this will need downtime.
Delete the VM and choose to keep the attached virtual hard disks.
Then recreate the VM from VHD.
Use this for example. Choose Windows Server 2008 R2 as an operating system.
https://www.cloudtec.ch/blog/tech/create-virtual-machine-vhd-in-azure.html
Deploy your VM then attach the data disks.
Do not forget to uninstall SQL server

Set up new apple ID on Mac Air, unit still can't access photos,some email, comes up with old apple id, needs password (which i don't know) just want to get rid of old apple ID on my MacAir

need to get rid of old apple ID, don't know password, already set new id and password on MacAir, but i am unable to access some photos, etc

In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My midi keyboard is playing multiple sounds when I press a key. Like when I play a note on the piano preset, there is a snare hit or a shaker that plays along withe the note. Is there a setting I need to change to get rid of it?

this recently happened, never had the problem before. I've restored my midi keyboard to factory settings but the problem persists. I go into garage band and click on the piano preset, but when I play a note it plays multiple instruments. Say I hit the C note On my keyboard, it plays the C note, but along with it is a snare hit or a shaker. And this is for every note. It seems as though the keyboard has its own setting, but I've tried resetting it. Again it's never happens before, just recently is there a way to get rid of that background sound? It's very dufficu to make music with multiple instruments playing in one note!

If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

HT201401 how do I get rid of the 1 over ssttings. I've re-booted, phone up to date, nothing in setting catagory that need to be updated?

How do get rid of the "1" on the upper right corner of Settings ICON. I've re-booted, iphone is up to date sofeware wise, there is no "1" on any catagory when I go into settings?

Thank you for your reply. Yes I am aware of the Notifications Control Panel and its total lack of any option to turn off the massive day and date so perhaps I should alter my question to WHY is there no option to get rid of the enormous waste of space Day and Date box.
Probably the same reason why there is no option to say this answer did not solve my problem or help me.
I wish I could go back to Snow Leopard - but even just the CBeebies website for my daughter no longer works on it and we are forced to upgrade and turn more and more into a grumpy old man.
