Removing bookmarked sites from the Start Screen
I use to be able to hold my thumb on a bookmarked site on my Start Screen and a menu would pop up giving me the option to remove it from the Start Screen. Since upgrading I can't do that. So how do I remove a bookmarked site from the Start Screen?
Which start screen (URL) are you referring to?
Is this the about:newtab page that shows the thumbnail of most visited websites?
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to remove the pic icon from the start screen?
You can turn it off via Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Picture Frame , but only if you have a passcode set - if you don't use a passcode lock, then you can't turn picture frame off (the option will be greyed out)

How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of...
How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of a Nokia 700? I'm a bit clumpsy with the touch screen and I keep adding shortcuts for everyrhing. It's easy enough (too easy) to add them, but how can I remove/delete them? There doesn't seem to be any option to deleting them and it's not mentioned in the manual.
Solved!

Now I got it. Thanks for the help.
I really need to practice this touch screen malarky, I'm not very good at it. -
My iPad jumps from the start screen to the white apple screen every 2 to 3 seconds. Turning it off or resetting it does not work. The restore from iTunes will not work due to the fact that I need to click off Find My Devise before I can restore...I can't get in to click that off.
Any ideas?FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again. -
Found a site in "history" from 3/7/2014 and double clicked on it to insure it was the correct site I was searching for--now it "removed" that site from the 3/7/2014 history and its only listing is this morning; I need that listing of the original visit back in my history so I can prove I visited it on 3/7.....I can list the number of times it was visited, but I need the listing "back" with the date of when the site was visited ...any help would be appreciated

Internet Explorer immediately launches when try to open the desktop from the Start screen
When I log onto my computer, instead of the Start screen opening, the Desktop opens, AND when the Desktop opens, Internet Explorer immediately launches there.
Other times, when I log-on, my computer will open on the Start screen, but then immediately launches Internet Explorer on the Start screen. I didn't click any Internet Explorer icons."
Also, when I am doing something on the Start screen and decide I want to go to the Desktop and I click the "Desktop tile" it switches me to the Desktop and launches Internet Explorer. Again, I didn't click the Internet Explorer tile.
(I just wanted to go to the blank Desktop.)
There is something telling my computer to always open Internet Explorer first. When I tried a warm boot, the problem went away momentarily, but returned after a few days"Hi,
What is your current situation?
Have you checked the suggestions by Robert?
When opening PC the start menu will automatically start Internet Explorer in APP mode, and if we set Internet Explorer to open in desktop mode, then it will automatically open under desktop when start?
As we have no Internet Explorer in startup configured, so it won't start by itself. We may try to replace Internet Explorer item's position on the start menu with a different APP, then check what happens(drag and drop the desktop icon on the place of the
Internet Explorer);
Is the MSN webpage your home page here? If not, then there might be some application on the startup automatically launches this page, we may take a try to disable one at a time to check; and if this is your default home page, try to replace it with another
one, then change it back.
From the last response of
this thread , it seems this is more related with the webpage than the browser?
Best regards

How to unpin default apps from the Start Screen using vbscript
Hi,
I am looking for a way to programmatically unpin apps using vbscript from the Windows 8 Start Screen. I need to unpin SkyDrive, People, Calendar and messaging. I have been searching for a couple of days but I'm coming up with nothing so far.
I know how to pin my own choices of installed apps using vbscript but I can't figure out how to unpin the default apps.
Thanks,
RobSome thoughts:
I started to investigate the many ways to manage the Metro start menu. There are APIs but none are exposed to batch or VBScript.
1. Programs are installed into the 'All User' start menu, defult users profile start menu and a set of global links can be defined for metro. THis is almost identical to ll previous versions except for the linking process which sets up the defaults.
If we install Office 20133 it will, if we choose, show up in all user start menu. Each user can then unpin this.
2. There is a file (binary) that keeps track of the Metro settings. It seems to only be changeable via the API or by using the shell 'pin/unpin' verbs.
3. This behavior I identical to XP and other systems with the exception of how it is stored and in that you cannot remove items from the sztart menu prior to Windows 8.
4. The default user profile can be customized and stored on the network so that it affects every system.
5. The "All Users" 'profile' can only be customized after a program is installed or by altering the programs installer.
What you are trying to do runs counter to all Windows design since the first version of Windows. We have NEVER been able to alter the start menu from script in such a way that a user could just add the item back in. Your request seems to be incongruous
to the design of Windows.
Now don't get me wrong. What you are asking is partially possible but you need to alter the Windows image so that the All users profile does not propagate the shortcuts. You can do this by just deleting them. You need to delete them before
a user account is generated on the box. Delete them in the image. You can do this with MDT. The shortcuts will not propagate to the user. The user can still search for an app and add it to the start menu.
There may be a better way to set this up but I cannot see how without using the API.

How do I remove a podcast from the first screen?
I don't want to just delete podcasts - i finally figured that out. I want to delete the whole subscription so it does not show up any more on my catalog screen.
I deleted it from itunes, but it does not seem that itunes syncs with the new podcast app.(on an iPhone 4s with ios6) Not really the catalog screen. Actually is a Library view. And one may not see an Edit button, if one is in the middle of the list of podcasts.
Unstated, in the Library list podcasts, if one scrolls to the top of the fat podcast icons, before the first ones, then one sees Edit come into view. For that matter, the line with Edit also has the search box and can also change that view from fat podcast icons (4 showing) to a list view (about 7). If in list mode, then pushing Edit gives one red minus, press that, and gets a Delete choice.. If fat icon view mode, or an x shows up, pressing that, and wham it be gone. No chance to for second thoughts. What did I delete? Don't know.
On iPad, finding the Edit button is easy. If viewing the podcasts, either way, the Edit button stays in the upper left location and can be seen. No scrolling needed. -
I had a hard disc failure and had to reload Design suite 6 from disc. The program is now telling me I have 7 days to register the product or it will quit working. The serial number is already registered. It won't connect to the adobe site from the popup screen that comes up telling me I only have 7 days to register. What do I do?
Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and choose Activate. It should open a wizard allowing you to do this.
If that fails, Contact Customer Care after clicking on one of the activation links. The more information you give them, the easier it will be for them to help you.

I have a iMac (20-inch, Mid 2009). On start up It will sit at the white screen with the logo and the wheel that spins under it. It will not go past this point? Any ideas?
Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer. i even bought a new hard drive to do the clean install but the same thing happens. Please Help
Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous. -
I downloaded and installed the most recent verison of Lion for my iMac. After doing so I noticed that my start up screen now has a "guest" account. I went into settings and disabled the "guest" account. Still, the startup sceen displays a "guest" account and allows one to start the computer in a "safari" only mode.
How do I removed the "guest" account from the start up screen and disable access via the "guest" account?Have a read here OS X 10.7.2 with iCloud showing Guest user account at log-in
To get rid of it, uncheck "Find my Mac" in System Peferences -> iCloud
