Song Folders on Desktop keep coming back! Please Help.

I'm not very technical but I'll do my best as I'm in need of some help. I run Windows XP and had issues with my computer and had to do a system restore. In the process of doing this I tried to recover my songs that I had in Itunes and was successful but in the process I somehow managed to create desktop folders of all of the songs, they say "copy (2) of shortcut...." and there are multiple copies that even say "copy (17) of shortcut." I've deleted them, there are hundreds, but each time I reboot my computer they all come back to my desktop. I even tried uninstalling Itunes but it did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dude I have the same peoblem and it bugging me did you mange to fix it?

A Contact I blocked keeps coming back, Please help...

Hi, recently I have been getting calls from a contact named "- -". I have tried blocking the user, and reporting abuse, but it keeps comming back. It has gotten me quite nervous, and I am unsure what to do. I do not dare answer the call, because I fear that it is some hacker, or virus. Please help, I cannot get rid of/ block the user, and I am sure it is not one of my friends playing a prank on me.
Also, as I have been looking at my history, I have noticed after I blocked the user, it has appeared as a different contact name.
If someone knows what to do, an admin or whatever, please post a reply. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I have tow itunes libraries. Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs. They keep coming back.

I have two ipod touch libraries under my account. One for my daughter and one for me. I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista). I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone. Somehow her library has partially merged with my library. My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it. I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back. How do I get rid of these once and for all. I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

I deleted the Free song of the week, but it keeps coming back!

I downloaded a free song, decided I didn't want it and deleted. But with iCloud, it keeps coming back. It messes with my smart playlists to have this song keep popping up. Any way to fix without turning off auto downloads? Thanks

You must have an iCloud account, and on the iPhone gone to Settings > iCloud and turned ON Find My Phone. Then login to the iCloud account, click Find My Phone and IF the iPhone is turned on and connected to the internet it will show up.
If any one of those steps is missing it will not show up.
If you get a message that you have not registered it with iCloud, then you did not turn on Find My Phone on the iPhone.
There is no other way of trackng the device.

Deleted emails in Mail keep coming back since 10.10.3 update

Mac Mail won't let me delete email or move email to other mailboxes since updating to 10.10.3. I delete messages or move them to other folders/mailboxes, and they keep coming back to my Inbox. Some messages come back almost instantly. Some come back after a few minutes. Other messages have come back that I deleted earlier in the day. There don't appear to be duplicates, since the messages I deleted aren't in the trash or in the folder/mailbox to which I moved them. Some messages have stayed in the trash, but when I try to permanently delete them, they reappear. The only way I've been able to permanently delete messages is by going online and deleting them in Gmail. I have used Gmail in combination with Mail for years without problems, and I had been using an earlier version of Yosemite without problems. My mail account is a Gmail account set up as IMAP. I have folders/mailboxes that are in Gmail and I have folders/mailboxes that are on my computer, but the messages I move won't stay in either type of mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mail envelop with Onyx which has helped with Mail quirks in the past, but this time it did nothing to solve the problem.

I have an android phone. If I read a message on my phone, it still shows up on my desktop.
One of the problems with deleting messages is that I when I delete messages from the main Inbox (the Inbox that includes all incoming messages from all accounts), some of those messages stay in the Inbox for the individual account as unread. A typical scenario is that after reading all of my new email and deleting messages, I notice that Mail shows that I still have unread mail. So I go to the Inbox for an individual email account, and there are a bunch messages that I deleted (sometimes half, sometimes all of what I deleted) that are in the Inbox of the individual account and show as unread. Then when I go back to the main Inbox, and all of the messages that I deleted are suddenly back in the that Inbox. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which messages get stuck. Sometimes the messages go away on their own. Sometimes they won't ever go away. I delete them from the main Inbox; they come back. I delete them from the individual account Inbox; they come back. I go to the Trash, delete them before they've gone back the the Inboxes, and they come back. The only way I can get rid of these zombie messages is to access the account through a browser and delete those messages online.
Another problem I have, is that Mail is constantly asking me to re-enter the password for one of my email accounts. Fortunately, it's an account I use less frequently, but it's a real problem when I Mail asks me to re-setup up an account every time I open Mail.
The problem has doubled or tripled the time it takes for me to keep track of my email. I'm going through reviews and looking for a replacement for Mail. I will be the first time I've used something besides Mail since I used Eudora (during the time when it was the best program available and you had to buy it).

Tell us more, please - so it is hard to say.
What is your Aperture version? And where is your Aperture library located?
Are you syncing your library in any way? With Facebook, Flickr, Photo Streams?
Where did you delete the photos from? from an album, web album, project? Did you empty the Aperture trash and the trash on your desktop?

Java applet warning keeps coming back for signed applet

I have an applet signed with certificate issued by a public CA cert verisign. This applet prints document to the printer. When it loads everything looks good and checks on the screen and the user is prompted to allow access to the printer. Even, though the user selects "Allways allow this applet to print" the warning keeps coming back everytime the applet attempts to access the printer.
I notice other applets work correctly. I veriy the signed jar and it all looks correct every class file comes with smk marking.
What is going, can someone please help???

I appreciate the help. but i was able to resolve the problem. Our web page called the applet print method directly from scripting. Apparently that causes the java plugin to warn the user every time.
To avoid this issue the new print method queues up a print job and a separate thread watches for the queue and picks up the job and prints it. In order to support the same original function, the new print method is syncronized and waits for the job to be queued before it returns.
Now, there are no warnings even the first time you use the applet.

I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Remove it from the BA and then remove it from the phone and then sync.... If that dont work you can unpair BA from phone and then make changes from both locations and then log back in...
Under Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Sync Services / Clear Data.... This wont delete anything from phone or BA just stop the sync process until you log back into BA.

Old emails keep coming back

I am using Mail on a macbook pro with retina display, running OS X 10.9.5. Recently, duplicates of old emails keep coming back into my inbox - unread, as if they were brand new emails. They always come a handful at a time. They show the original dates of receipt, so they appear way down in my inbox and I have to sort by 'unread' to bring them to the top and delete them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - e.g. some are from contacts, some aren't, some I deleted when I originally received them, some I kept, some I replied to, some I didn't. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Cool.
First, when it finds the OLD messages can you actually open them up? If so, you can/should rebuild your Trash Mailbox. I suspect you cannot open the old message though, which points to your Envelope INDEX being messed up.
Quit Mail. Then, under ~/Library/Mail is a file called Envelope Index. Move it to the Trash. Or if that makes you nervous, drag it to the desktop. Open Mail. It will give you a message that will scare you -- a Welcome to Mail or a Mail Message Import window will pop up. This is fine. It will tell you it is importing your mail. Really it sees all your mailboxes but no index so it is creating that index.
See if that doesn't fix your problem.
