Question about "Linked" pictures and how to get rid of them?

I have recently upgraded from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a 2013 MacBook Pro and there is a picture under Users & Groups when you go to change the display picture under "Linked" that I can't get rid of, while that isn't really an issue even though I would like to get rid of it if possible, every time I change my picture on Messages, when I close the application and come back into it, that linked picture is my display picture again. Any suggestions?

  • Icons in finder bar; what do they mean and how to get rid of them

    Hi I notice these icons in my finder bar. I'm confused; what are they there for and how to get rid of them?
    Thanks for the help!

    One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

  • Duplicates in Aperture and how to get rid of them

    Short of putting the photos on List view and eyeballing the details [IPTC/EXIF] and deleting each one individually is there any better way to do this. I have TidyUp and have used it in other such tasks in the past but wasn't sure that doing so with a large library [500G] would be a good idea.
    These are mainly duplicate Masters, not versions.

  • Duplicate Groups and how to get rid of them

    Somehow (maybe by having sync from iTunes and from MobileMe I have duplicate groups of calendars and contacs. With the same information in each group, I can't get rid of one set or the other. How can I do that and which one should I get rid of (if there's a choice)?

    If you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, if you also sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, this does nothing but duplicate your contacts and calendar events on your iPhone.
    Prior to firmware update 3.0, it wasn't possible to sync contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account and/or with an Exchange account and sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. Apple included the ability to do both primarily for those syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air with an Exchange account who also wanted to sync personal contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on a personal computer at home via the iTunes sync process. When doing so, you can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately. When doing this with a MobileMe account, this does nothing but duplicate the contacts and calendar events on your iPhone.
    To get rid of the duplicates, deselect sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing.
    A warning message will be provided indicating this will erase all contacts and calendar events downloaded from and kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book and calendar along with an option to store this data locally on your iPhone. Decline the prompt to store this data locally on your iPhone.
    This will not erase the contacts and calendar events on your iPhone that were synced direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
    Follow this by turning Contacts and Calendars back on for over the air syncing. You will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
    This will get rid of the duplicates on your iPhone.

  • Corrupt songs. How to get them. And how to get rid of them.

    AIFF's in my collection that used to play well, suddenly got corrupt. The AIFF's weren't playable anymore. Everytime I clicked the play-button, the beachball popped up and the hard disk started making a clicking-sound.
    I copied the corrupt AIFF's by choosing 'Convert selection to AIFF'. This way I was able to listen to the songs again. The copies of the corrupt AIFF's played well. But the copying process made the HD start clicking and the speedball turning.
    So I got rid of the corrupt songs, but I'm still wandering how I got them after all.

    @ iTunes Mike:
    My HD isn't making clicking sounds anymore since I got rid of the corrupt AIFF's.
    So I'm not sure it was the harddisk causing the corruption.
    Thank you for your advice however. I backed up, like I always do.

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

    Are there apps you don't need or use? Delete them.
    Is there content you've downloaded from iTunes that you can delete (as long as it's available in iTUnes, you can redownload any previously purchased content)
    Do you have any large e-mails in your mailbox? Such as mails with photos.
    Do you have photos that you don't want or need anymore?
    Settings, general, usage can tell you how much space apps are taking up and that can help you choose what needs to go, what's part of the problem, etc.

    Are you sure you have a PowerMac? They can't run Mac OS 10.6.8. Maybe a Mac Pro instead?
    Can you post a screen shot of that portion of the screeen for us to review? Does the question mark replace the Apple that's at the left end of the menubar?

  • My 2nd generation Nano indicates that about half of the space is 'other'. Anyone know what that means and how I get rid of it? All I've ever downloaded is music.

    The Other data on your iPod is album art, file allocation structures, your main library file, and any other data that the iPod uses to read its songs. 
    You can have it removed by going to your itunes and plugging your ipod back into it.   Click the device then click the music tab then uncheck box that says include album artwork.. then sync again.. this time the OTHER stuff will now be removed.

  • How to complain to Apple about this company and how to get a formally answer for problem with Apple agent in Kuwait??

    How to complain to Apple about this company and how to get a formally answer for problem with Apple agent in Kuwait??

    You did not buy your iphone from an Apple store.  No Apple employee sold you anything.
    Your complaint is not with Apple.  You bought from an unauthorized seller.  Your complain is with that seller.
    As you have been told more than once, Apple has nothing to do with this.

  • SAP hana Visualize Plan show Create Temp Index and it shows Unsupported Operator Order.  Why the hana build temp index and how to get rid of it ?

    When I see the Visualize Plan for SQLScript it show Create Temp Index at many Places.
    It also shows unsupported operator order CS_JOIN over CS_AGGREGATION.
    Why does hana create Temp Index and how to get rid of it.

    Just browsing for some more information on this operation, and it just happened that my favorite VizPlan expert has chimed in here
    I have a scenario where I am using a nested SQLScript based calc view. One view (child view) retrieves a relatively small data set, then the main CV takes that and joins with a bunch of other data from another schema.
    When I started out, just the nested portion of (child calc view), takes roughly 800ms to return it's resultset, for which I was pleased. Now, when I added some other joins onto that dataset in the main CV, I am seeing my runtime spike to approximately 16 seconds, with 15 seconds being spent on a "Create Temp Index" process that only results in 12 rows (from what I can see).
    Now the question becomes - since I have identified where 95+% of my runtime is being generated, how can I really pinpoint what operation is causing this? I was thinking the ID column (shown in the details) may offer some clues if one knew how to locate the details in a system table somewhere?
    Otherwise, all I can see in the VizPlan is that YES there is a long running component, but I have no idea what it might be, therefore can't do anything about it
    Regards,

  • "Open In Tabs." How it got there and how to get rid of it?

    I've searched the forums and tried all I can think of but cannot figure out:
    1) How an "Open in Tabs" item got in my Bookmarks Menu -
    When I go to Main Menu>Bookmarks, at the very bottom is a dividing line and below it, "Open In Tabs." Yet, when I Show All Bookmarks, I cannot find it anywhere. It's not a folder, it's not a link or site, its not in the Bookmarks Bar or the Bookmarks Menu - but it's there when I drop down from Main Menu>Bookmarks.
    2) How to create my own "open in tabs" with only two bookmarks in it that I can set to open at starting up Safari.
    Right now, when I click it, it tries to open everthing in my Bookmarks Menu.
    Can anyone explain (how it got there and how to get rid of it) - and help me do what I'm trying to do (open two sites at startup)? Thanks.

    I have to apologize, I accidently gave the link to Safari Enhancer when I mentioned Safari Extender.
    Safari Enhancer and Safari Extender are two different programs with two different purposes.
    Enhancer is a free standalone program to adjust some of the features in Safari that can not be adjusted using Safari's Preferences. It also alows you to make these changes without having to use the Terminal.
    Extender is a shareware Safari plugin that adds its own items to the control-click contextual menus in Safari and includes menu items to work with tabs, mail, user agents, printing, and other functions.
    Both are useful programs. I have and use each of them.

  • In the lefthand sidebar of Finder, under 'Shared', I encounter in addition my TC, another computer, identified by a long name starting with 'hp'. I don't have another computer. What could this be? And how to get rid of it?

    In the Finder sidebar, under 'Shared', I encounter my TC, as well as another item with a long name starting with 'hp'. 'Get info' shows it to be a 'PC'. However, I don't have a PC. It cannot be my printer (HP), since that has anoter name.
    I can not access the item, which has me a 'guest'.
    What could this item be? And how to get rid of it?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    It's almost certainly your hp printer and is showing the WiFi adapter MAC address after the HP.
    To verify, look at the printer configuration page via Bonjour in Safari.  The settings tab shows the Mac address in the bottom left hand corner for my model of HP printer.
    I'm sorry but I can't explain why that would show up in the finder.

    Select the master slide,
    copy any objects you want to keep,
    Select all, (command A), and press delete key.
    Paste back the items to retain (Command V)
