Please help How do I get rid of funtools? it seems to have taken over my home page and although i have tried to delete it from programmes etc it still keeps popping up. I don't even know how it got here!!!!
I'm sorry I don't have any information it just appeared on here yesterday. Possibly one of the kids downloaded something or my fella. I have removed the toolbars but it still keeps popping up and I get other pop ups although they are disabled. I am not very computer minded/technical, so any help is appreciated.
go to Fireofx>Addon>Extension and check if any unknown toolbar are installed or not

How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over home page?
Search.US.com has taken over my hone page and everything else it can. I have tried all the suggestions available to me by the help section. I have went so far as to delete cookies. This is very invasive. I looked at restoring the system but have few options for recovery points and they don't include the search engine download. I removed the add on it came with as well. I had removed the search engine in add/remove programs and was stupid when it asked if I wanted the default settings restored. I said no. I'm afraid I am j pretty stupid when it comes to software. I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time in this matter. ps I put what I thought was relevant in the bottom box. I had not seen this before. I tried to modify it but couldn't.
SoultenderI finally got a hold of someone at that search us.com. They gave me this link to try and solve the problem. I have already reinstalled firefox but it might help someone else out. And it's much simpler. I haven't tried it but they said to get a hold of them if it didn't work. the link is:
Running ResetBrowsers.exe from http://support.search.us.com/uninstall.php should restore your settings to their defaults
Hope I'm not misusing this post. Thanks again for all your help. Your are all awesome. -
Everytime I go to my home page, this Inbox screen comes up. I uninstalled the program, but it still comes up, implying that it is embedded in something else. I want to be able to simply go to my web browser, Yahoo, when I click on my home button.

How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over Firefox?
I have a problem similar to the "Abuchak" problem listed in your forums. This is something different though. When I am at Yahoo or Google, I click a link and it takes me to another search listing. Sometimes it takes me to various sites where Avast (virus proggy) tells me it has blocked a malicious virus.
The last website it sent me to was http://64.111.211.188
I can, however, highlight the website under the link and paste it in the address field and that works out, but that's a pain. This has been going on for 2 weeks.
I have run Spybot, SpySweeper & Ad-Aware but it doesn't help.
How can I keep this software from taking over Firefox?
Please help. Thanks.Uninstall the "ConnectBar" extension, you may have to reset [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries keyword.URL] in your '''about:config''' afterwards or change to a value you prefer for [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location bar searches].
The extension is not at Addons, it may have been obtained from an [http://www.facebook.com/pages/ConnectBar/156184567774985 advertisement] on Facebook. -
I have no clue hoe it got on my pc I have looked on e explorer bing ask me yahoo and I come up with no answer it pops up your alternative search it seem to tied in with face book and you tube of which I do not use
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten
1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi. -
I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the 1 year limited warrenty cover it?
If you are in the US you can see if there is a genius bar by going to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar and then click on Make a Reservation at the top and you can search state, city and see how far they are from you.

need to delete this album from my ipad...
icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
the album appears under artists
doesn't appear on lists
doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
how do I suppress this music I don't want ?ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

the new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....
when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

my mac book air has a virus which is creating a lot of issues...how do i get rid of it? is there a free software to detect it and remove it?
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
I am getting some update that says I need to have geno as my home page and down load something else on the computer to run the maverick os system. Is this you or some hacker
Is your iMac running okay? Where are you getting this update from? Especially if it is an e-mail, I would not do what the 'update' is suggesting.
Your profile shows you are running Mavericks. If everything is okay, then it would appear to me you don't need to download something to run Mavericks. -
How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things
I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!
Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
Hope this helps to get you started.

I gave my daughter my original iPad when I upgraded to iPad2. I deleted iTunes and Quick Time from my computer thinking it would get rid of the old info from the original iPad. I reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time and tried synching my new iPad2. It downloaded the old info from my original iPad to my new iPad2 and now it calls my new iPad2 Linda's iPad. How do I get rid of all the old info and just have my new iPad2 info? I don't mind that it put somethings from my original iPad (movies, books, some - not all - my music, etc). I can't even synch the bluetooth of the iPad2 to the bluetooth of my PC (I think it's all related somehow).
Why would you not want to keep all of the data, apps, music, photos etc that you had on your first iPad on your new iPad? Don't you want to keep all of that content? You bought the apps, music etc with your iTunes account I would assume so why not keep them?
Deleting iTunes simply removes the application from your computer - not the content in your iTunes library.
If you want to rename your new iPad - connect to your PC - launch iTunes - double click on the iPad name on the left side of the iTunes window and you can type in the new name. Then hit the return key on your keyboard.

Sync the Bluetooth of the iPad2 to your PC? You can't sync the two devices via Bluetooth. You pair devices via Bluetooth but that would do no good for you anyway. You can't transfer content from the iPad to the PC via Bluetooth.

How do I get rid of the extra table of contents that appears following the Pages export to epub?
When I export my document to epub out of Pages and then open it in ibooks (or any other ereader for that matter) an extra table of contents with links to the document sections appears at the beginning. This toc has its own numbering system--with its numbers set in front of those I have assigned. This toc is ugly and superfluous and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the table of contents available in the dropdown menu used while actually reading the document. How do I get rid of this extra table of contents? I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to remove it. Thanks for any help with this problem.

How do I get rid of the adjust window in iphoto. It is stuck there and it won't go away.
How do I get rid of the 'adjust' window on my photo. I click on the x and it does nothing. Is it hung? I thought apple didn't hang.
Close iPhoto and do the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
