    A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • I moved my iPhoto library to a external hard drive to free up space on my iMac per instructions, but the library is still on my iMac so I don't have much room left.  How do I get rid of the all the contents of my library on my iMac so just on backup drive

    As per Apple instructions, I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive so that I could free up space on my full iMac.  However, I was not told the last step in the process -- How do I get the iPhoto library off my iMac so I free up that memory?

    And after deleting the old Library, you should start up iPhoto while holding down the Option key in order to force iPhoto to let you select your iPhoto Library that is on your external hard drive.  If you start up iPhoto the usual way, it will just create a new, blank iPhoto Library in your /users/yourusername/Pictures folder on your iMac's internal hard drive.

  • After uninstalling a program (symantec antivirus) I get error messages on startup saying that the program can't run.  Well, no duh, but how do I get rid of the annoying and unneeded error messages?

    Neve rmind I figured it out.

    If you are referring to Norton's, you will need to use their uninstaller or you will not be able to get rid of it completely. Since I don't know which version you have, here is the search result page (uninstall Norton for Mac) on their website:

  • I downloaded a book on iBook and when I opened it all I got was a gray screen and I can't go back to my library. Help! How do I get rid of the gray screen and go back to my library?

    I downloaded a book on iBook but when I tried to open it all I got was a empty gray screen. I can't do anything. How do I go back to my library? There are no icons, nothing.... Help

    If tapping the book doesn't give a button at the top left to go back to your Library, then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I need to delete a mailbox.  When I follow the steps in Mail help it doesn't delete.  How do I get rid of the defunct mailbox?

    How do I delete a defunct mailbox?  Doing "Mailbox" "Delete Mailbox" only turns it grey and the next time Mail goes after messages it searches the defunct mailbox. 

    Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't correct it try a SMC and pram reset
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    To reset PRAM/NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • I have 2 Pages icons. How can I get rid of the old one?*

    I can't gey it out of launchpad. It won't go in the trash. It's confusing to have 2 icons.

    Hi rointhestudy,
    I understand you have duplicate icons of the Pages application in Launchpad. Here is some more information:
    OS X Lion: About duplicate icons in Launchpad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4836
    Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased.
    It sounds like we want to remove the duplicate from your computer:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11356
    To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.
    If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Update notification remains after update installed.  How to I get rid of the notification?

    I installed the iPhoto update 9.4.1 but the update notification remains.  I've checked iPhoto and it is definitely showing that 9.4.1 is installed.
    How do I get rid of the unwanted notification?
    iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

    Try deleting the cache, cookies, and preference files associated wtih the App Store then restart your Mac.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    See if that made a difference ...

  • Some of my pdf files (since upgrade to Acrobat DC reader) have greyed-out blanks. How can I get rid of this so I can read what is obliterated?

    I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3 as an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now some of my pdf files have greyed-out blocks obscuring the text (which I imagine is being hidden by the blocks). In some cases the whole document is illegible. What has happened? How do I get rid of the problem?

    Don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared after uninstalling the programme and re-installing it. (It may have had something to do with the few preference changes I made in trying to customise the appearance to look like the previous Adobe version, but if so, I'm not clear which (one?) of them caused the grey-outs).

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

    I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
    1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
    and
    2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
    If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

    I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
    Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
