The Ask toolbar that I unfortunately downloaded has replaced Google and makes everything run more slowly. I can't get rid of it.

I was trying to play a media file and was advised to download KM player. It asked if I wanted to download a toolbar too. I thought it might not work properly if I didn't follow suggestions, so I did. The toolbar was "Ask" and it replaced the Google toolbar. I don't know how to get rid of it. I found a box next to the toolbar at the top right-hand corner of the screen and unchecked everything on it (add-on bar, menu bar, etc.) Then I clicked on Firefox at the top of the page and clicked on Help and then on Restart with add-ons disabled. I went to "My Computer" to look at "Add and Remove Programs" and couldn't find "Ask". I tried downloading Google Chrome, and it had a Google toolbar -- in the address bar, which I didn't want. I wonder how to get rid of "Ask" in Firefox. (Also in Internet Explorer!)

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Firefox on Mac, now Bing search has replaced Google and I can't get rid of Bing- how?

Bing has mysteriously replaced Google and pops up in new tabs, etc. I have tried to change this, but Bing pesists. I don't want it, I didn't ask for it (intentionally, anyway) - how do I get rid of it?

Hi first of all, I mean that I have a bad English.
I've had the same problem as you and it seems I've solved.
What I have done is, first uninstall an add-on called conduit firefox engine.
Second, in the address bar you have to put about: config. And find all strings that say "search.conduit"and put the option to reset.
I solved it for me the problem, I hope you serve.

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... and everything is frozen. How can I get rid of this thing, and what is it? I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it.

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen. I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it - and then reload my Firefox browser to get back to my yahoo e-mail page ... fortunately for me, Firefox re-stores a previous session ... How can I get rid of this intrusive thing, and what is it? Thanks in advance ... Ted Beaudoin, Welland, ON, Canada

Remove VideoFileDownload and find a downloader that doesn't contain TextEnhance.

I can't use the Norton Toolbar on Firefox 4.0 because it says they're not compatable... how can i get them to work?

The Norton toolbar and the last Firefox i had worked fine together, however, when i updated Firefox, as the information was transferring, it told me that I could no longer use the Norton toolbar because they weren't compatible. It said this even though both of them are updated.

Sorry Tony but that is a chicken-*! response!
I just spent 2 hours getting my system back to 3.6 using your instructions. In the end I had to find the last download of 3.6 in my archived files to make it happen. No Firefox 3.6.x file could be found on the Mozilla or Firefox sites contrary to your instructions.
I deleted all the "extensions" like you suggested. It would have been very helpful if Firefox had stopped me before the installation of 4.0 proceeded to explain the "real" consequences of not having my Norton 4.0 toolbar.
I have been very happy with Firefox for the past 5-6 years but now you have given me a good reason to go research other browsers like Google Chrome.
IMHO it was * poor planning on Firefox's part for this launch!

I just updated my MacBook pro early 2011 model to OSX 10.9 and was forced to create a new user(administrator) and ended up with a different configuration. If I login with my original user name everything is back. How can I get rid of the other user name?

I have two user names with Administrator privelages and my MacBook keeps booting up to the wrong one and I have the wrong configuration since I updated to OSX 10.9. I would like to get back to my original User name which I used to boot up to. When I go to the User Groups and Preferences it doesn't allow me to delete the un-wanted user.
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this? I can't seem to recover Time Capsule back-ups prior to the OSX upgrade even though I have been faithfully backing up to a Time Machine.
Help please.

First of all, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, and set your old user account in "Automatic login". By doing this, your computer will always log in with your old account.
Then, log in your old account, where you will be able to delete the new user that OS X Mavericks forced you to create. Other users have reported the same problem

I have succesfully replaced firefox 4.0.1 with 3.6.2 as I have a Mac Mini but not the intel chip. Everything works fine except I can't get rid of the install window and the firefox logo in a simulated drive on my desk top home screen.

When viewing videos, they would seem to running in slow motion. I thought that by reverting back to an older version that was compatible with my system that I might correct the problem.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

I had iphoto downloaded on my computer and now it's gone? how can I get it back?

I used to have Iphoto on my mac and now it's gone? How do I get it back or do I have to purchase it ? thank you....

Where have you looked for iPhoto? Is it gone from your Dock or the applications folder?
Have you searched with Spotlight? Enter iPhoto into the searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen and then look, if it will be listed in the "Applications" section of the list.
What happenend, before iPhoto vanished? Did you upgrade any software?

I am downloading pictures from a iPhone to a MacBook Air and there is a white screen I can't get rid of. My camera roll on phone says 0 have I lost my pictures or are they on the computer?

Any help is appreciated

Not technically, no, but around the beginning of when I got my tablet in
July, an Assistive Touch type thing appeared, but I didn't download it.
That was also in Japanese, but I couldn't figure out a way to delete it.
However, it somehow disappeared without my noticing or doing anything about
it. I feel like they're connected. So the issue's been going on for longer
than from the last app I downloaded. I haven't removed any apps yet to test
it though.
