On Start Up My I - Mac automatically fills the password field with (****************) , and they are very hard to delete. This also happens with the password
field in other applications, like my Mail Server, etc. I am on Mac OSX 10.5.8. Any Ideas?

But does it work if you just hit Enter?

I have an app that I started to download. It is stuck in "downloading" and I cannot get it off my iPad. The "x" won't appear when I hold down on the app icon.

Boot off your iPad and turn it back on. Hold the button on the top until the "slide to power off" shows up. When you boot back up it will be gone and then you can re-install the app.

I somehow managed to add lines on my master slide and can't get rid of them. I now have a useless rectangle on the left half of many of my slides. How do I remove this?

Hi,
I have exactly, exactly!! thesame annoying problem you have or had. I don't know what to do and i am reallyfrustrated with the dumb limited inside the box solutions offered to me. It'slike if you have a problem with your ipod or iphone you can either restore it,uninstall/reinstall itunes and thats pretty much it. I am sorry but that isjust f***** up.
anyway, regardless to all that,i was wondering if you had any success in solving this problem (something otherthan using a different computer which oddly enough seemed to work for somereason..?? why???, weird) since April.
I am on the edge of givingup.
thank you in advance.

A friend gave me an older Nano 3rd generation. Can anyone tell me how to delete what is on there and how to get rid of his name. It does not connect to my itunes. I cannot even find the source or the place to restore it as suggested in the owners manual.

I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
"Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.

Restore
Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

Aol Search has become the search engine and I cannot get rid of it

I have Google as my search engine but as soon as I ask a question Aol Search pops up and I dont like its searches. I tried to remove from Task bar but not there and cannot seem to find anyway to get rid of it.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''About:Config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

I have a new MacBook Pro. While getting rid of voice over I ended up with a black box with icons in it and I cannot get rid of it and I can't get off the home screen

I have a brand new MacBook Pro . I got into voice over and then figured out how to stop that but now have a black box in the middle of the home screen and that box has a bunch of icons .....(Keyboard, pointer etc) I cannot get it to close and I'm not able to go past the home screen. Help

If you click on that window, the menu bar should change to whatever program that is. Then click the program name and click Exit.
If that doesn't work, click the Apple icon, then Force Quit. Look for something that says Not Responding and quit it.
Last... if nothing else works reboot and see if that does it.

HT4650 my safari keeps crashing on my iMac. anyone know why. this keeps happening after 10 seconds or so. any ideas?

SAFARI keeps crashing on my Imac.
I have checked for virus software and appear to have none.
I have checked the automatic safari address that loads, which mysteriously had a ,http/ with a coma infront of the default website address to load on safari. I have changed this so the default website is back to apple without the , before the address.
Can anyone suggest what I do next. I keep getting an error message after 3-10 seconds.

And have you loaded any optimizers/add-ons/accelerators/anti-malware tools/etc or similar?
Any (free or paid) product that was advertised as helpful?
Any Safari extensions loaded?

I have more than 7600 duplicates in itunes! I have no idea how this happened. How do I efficiently get rid of them without deleting one at a time?

I have 7600 duplicates on my itunes account. I have no idea how this happened and want to delete the duplicates en mass.
Is it possible? How would I do it?
This happened just recently.
I do have a backup on My Book that may not have the duplicates. Not sure I WANT TO GO NUCLEAR THOUGH AND DELETE ALL THE DUPLICATES.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU.
TODD

If you've recently created a bunch of duplicates then, with the main Music playlist showing, hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (PC) and then the menu File > Display Exact Duplicates. Sort the resulting list on the Date Added field, select the range of tracks representing the recent imports which you know to be duplicates and delete.
To delete any older duplicates scattered through the library sort the list in a conventional order like Album by Artist and delete all but one copy of each cluster of identical tracks.
Normally when you delete the duplicate entries from the library you will also want to delete the underlying files, however in certain circumstances it is possible for iTunes to make two separate entries to the same physical file on your hard drive. In this case deleting the file for the one entry will break the other one. If possible try to work out which type of duplicates you have before deleting any files, and check that the remaining entries play before emptying the trash.

Unwanted icons showing up....How do I get rid of them?

I keep getting icons that show up on my screen, that are basically web shortcuts to items I can download. Such as "tel nav" "zoom pass" "mobile back up" "twitter" "urMusic". These are items I don't want. I tried deleting them but they are not listed in my apps. I found a way to delete them through the service book in my tools settings. But they usually reappear soon after. How do I stop this????

Greetings, and welcome to the forums!
You can't delete those icons as they are pushed to you thru your carrier. If you just don't want to see them, create a folder and name it something like 'junk', then move those icons to that folder.
