Why are unwanted icons appearing on the toolbar

When opening a finder window there are now several unwanted icons on the toolbar, 2 are for games and one for a certain website.  Don't know how they got there and customizing the toolbar does nothing to remove them or show how they got there either.j
Any ideas?  Thanks.

They were probably dragged and inadvertenly dropped on the Finder toolbar. Command-drag them off and poof them.

  • Internal hard drives are no longer appearing in the finder window

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a new macbook pro user and just noticed that my internal hard drives are no longer appearing in the sidebar of my Finder window.  I have searched this issue and checked that the correct preferences are selected, never received any error messages and run Disk Utility and everything seems ok......except I still can't figure out why my devices aren't showing up!!
    Any help with this is much appreciated!

    FINDER PREFERENCES>SIDEBAR>EXTERNAL DISKS has the box checked?
    Does the HDD icon appear on the desktop?
    Does the HDD get recognized in Disk Utility?
    I'm just trying to verify what your situation is.
    Ciao.

  • Trying to download from an external hard drive, no icon appears on the screen

    trying to transfer files from external hard drive to mac, no icon appears on the screen

    Windows uses either FAT32 or NTFS. Mac OS X uses Mac OS Extended also  known as HFS+. All you really need to know is that they are just three  different methods for storing information. Macs can handle some Windows  formats, but Windows cannot handle HFS+ without additional software.
    To see the format of the external drive, right-click on the icon and select Properties (Windows) or Get Info (Mac)
    Mac OS X has been able to read and write FAT32 formatted hard drives  since the very beginning. If you have a FAT32 drive you can simply  connect it to your Mac and it will very easily be able to read and write  to it. There is nothing special you need to do. However, there are two  limitations of FAT32. 1.) It only supports file sizes of 4GB or less.  2.) Some Mac applications may not run from the drive as FAT32 does not  adequately handle the permissions structure of Mac OS X.
    NTFS is a different story. NTFS is a more modern Windows format but is  proprietary to Microsoft. Licensing is required to use it which is  probably why Apple doesn’t fully support it. Macs can read an NTFS  drive, but they cannot write to one.

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

  • Why does camera icon appear next to slide to unlock bar on my IPod touch?

    why does camera icon appear next to slide to unlock bar on my IPod touch?  It makes a shutter sound when I turn the touch off

    The camera icon appears so that you can take a picture quickly without having to enter your password.  It is not responsible for the shutter sound.  The Touch always made that sound when manually closing or going to sleep even with older iOS that did not have the camera icon.

    About Final Cut ProX: why a red line appears at the top o a file imported into a New Event? then when I restarted the Project that files comes as "Missed files" How can i fix it? Thank you very much.

    Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

  • Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

    Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

    This is actually still relevant if you are syncing with Gmail or Google Contacts or Calendar:

    If you have already removed it, you can still get it back (if you need) following the instructions in the article.

  • When updating my spreadsheets (iWork '08) the umbrella icon appears in the dock, and the software backs up what I've entered. I don't recall setting this up.

    When updating my spreadsheets (iWork '08) the umbrella icon appears in the dock, and the software backs up what I've entered. I don't recall setting this up.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks, but I do know what the software is for as I occasionally use it to back up stuff onto my iDisk, but I don't understand why I'm getting backups of stuff like spreadsheets when I haven't set the system up for it.
    The only back up I do have set up is for my iPhoto album to back up to my Lacie external hard drive...that's all.

  • Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

    Hi,
    why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

    Hi Ghallsa,
    I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all.  I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space.  You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails.  There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
    If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind.  But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage.  This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less.  It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
    good luck,

  • Why are website icons now removed when history is cleared?

    Hi,
    Just a very quick question:
    Why are website icons now removed when you clear the history in Safari?
    I have noticed this in the current Lion (and Mountain Lion) versions, this happens, when in previous versions they remained after clearing the history.
    Is there any way to change this?
    Thanks!

    Safari 6
    Safari > Help (menu in the menubar) > Show All Help Topics
    Search term "Clear History".
    "Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty".
    That is how clearing history works in Safari 6.
    There is no way change it.
    Best.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

    I have XFCE4 and I have truecrypt installed.
    However, the truecrypt icon appears in the middle of the desktop and has the same functionality like the tray one: I can right click on it etc.
    How can I make it go at the system tray (bottom right, according to my setup)?
