When I open a new tab, why do I see 12 previous sites in a dropdown, and how can I get rid of these?

When I open a new page in a new tab, as soon as I type the first w of www, a drop-down menu of 12 sites that I have visited at some point previously appears. These sites seem to be totally random and remain the same no matter how often I clear my history etc.
Basically, I don't want to see them and would like to know how to get rid of them.

You can set the Location Bar to show "Nothing":
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing
* [[Smart Location Bar]]

iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I open a new tab I want to see a blank screen, as I always used to do, instead of seeing a screen populated by recent websites I've visited.

I'm on Firefox 16.0.2. About a week or two ago this change spontaneously happened. When I open a fresh tab, I want to see a blank screen. That's what I'm used to. Now for some reason my new tab is populated with up to nine websites that I visited previously. I do NOT want this! How do I change it back to get a blank screen??

When I open a new tab, I want to see a thumbnail view of few recent pages. How to set that?

My friend uses Google Chrome browser, and when he openes a new tab he can see on it a thumbnail view of 6 or 8 recent visited pages. Vith a simple click on each of them he can revisit that pages.
I do not want to change my default browser (Firefox) but want to have that option.

There are several add-ons that allow you to do this, such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL].

TS3297 I have an error message 42110 when I sign into itunes, what does it mean and how can i get rid of it

When i open up itunes it displays the message, "an unknow error occured (-42110). What does this mean and how do i get rid of it?

Hello BROUN,
That specific error has to do with Movie Rentals.
From "iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting:"
This alert is related to iTunes Store movie rentals and authorization issues.
Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.
As the article says above, if you continue to have issues then refer to "iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases" for instructions on how to remove the "SC Info" folder.
Hope that helps,
-Griff W.

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

What is "other" listed on my iPhone 4S and why is it sucking up so much storage space? How can I get rid of it?

How can I get rid of the huge "other" listed on my storage of my iPhone? It's taking up huge gigs. This phone is not even 60 days old!

This worked for me with iPhone 5:
Backup iPhone in iTunes
in iPhone>Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings
in iTunes> Restore iPhone with previous Backup (point 1)
There is no need to reset the iPhone with iTunes and no need to manually resync apps and content.
You will have your "new" iPhone with all your apps, settings and media just like before
with only a mere 500 mb (0,5gb) of "other" memory.

When I open a new tab, why do I have to have the AVG query-why not home page

When I oopen a new tab, I get the Welcome to Tabbed Browsing presentation. What I get apparently is an AVG search page.
What I want is my home page-the same as I get when I first open Firefox.

Finally found toolbar settings and unchecked the box.
All is well. Thanks for taking time to answer.

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed." After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error." How can I get rid of these?

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error." How do I get rid of this. The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
Step 1
From the Calendar menu bar, select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Then check the box again. Test.
Step 2
Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
Step 3
If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
Step 4
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Why are there ads in games that I have purchased? Can I get rid of these ads?

Why are there ads in my games that I have purchased. How do I get rid of the ads?

The developer participates in the ad program to provide income, usually in exchange for offering the application for free or at a low price. Some developers offer an ad-free version of the app at a higher price, so you might look for that possibility. If they only offer a single version, though, then you're stuck with the ads, though you can urge the developer to offer an ad-free version as well.
Regards.

When I open a new tab, I used to see 9 thumbnails of my most visted sites, but now I do not (just a generic "new browser tab" page). How can I restore the thumbnail view?

I have an HP laptop, windows 7 64-bit OS. I had to open Explorer this AM to download a driver update (for audio on my computer, which instead eliminated the sound on my computer - still trying to fix that). I downloaded an update to DVDSoftVideo yesterday, which seems to sometimes change the taskbar area, even tho I always opt to not download optional toolbars (ASK toolbar for one - even tho I unchecked it, it still shows up now on the toolbar).
I don't know what is related to what.
Further, I clcked on the Firefox icon at the top left, and chose the menu view, now cannot find how to go back to the new view of just the icon.

You can look at one of these extensions:
