Why is there Terminal in my dock?  Can I remove it?

It just appeared there last night.  It is strange.  What does it want?  Can it go away?

Terminal is a built-in utility in OS X.

Perhaps it was opened inadvertently, it should not have opened on its own.

  • Why is there a guest account who can use safari in my login window???

    why is there a guest account who can use safari in my login window when i completely disabled the guest account. I disabled the guest account so others wont be able to use the internet, specifically safari, on my mac, as a form of security/parental control and now anyone who wants to go online csn do so.
    how could i completely remove that out of my login window?

    Security enthusiasts highly recommend keeping the Guest User Safari account enabled so that if you happen to lose your Mac, or if it’s stolen, it could easily be tracked down.
    The first thing most thieves do is turn on the device to see if it works, and/or access your information, or surf the internet. Once it connects to the internet, you now have an opportunity to start collecting data that could eventually lead to the device recovery and thief capture.
    This is not a full guest user account, if you select the Guest User option at login, the Mac will restart to a secured Safari-only version of the OS with access to the internet. So what’s the point of this? It turns out this is part of setting up iCloud in Mac OS X, specifically the “Find My Mac” feature. The Safari Guest User allows someone to get online so the Mac can be located, but prevents the Safari user from accessing your files and applications.

  • I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and installed but it still doesn't work. Why are there still files leftover even after manually removal whatever I could?

    I am a Windows 8.1 user. I have followed instructions found online. But still nothing works.
    McAfee is still saying Firefox is untrusted and will not run it.
    I have managed to delete some folders containing Firefox but there are some still remaining.
    Why?
    There was never a problem before today.

    Hi, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer this article] will help you to completely remove Firefox.
    You should ''only'' download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.]
    If McAfee is still not allowing it, you may need to look at the settings within McAfee.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT4623 Why are there some purchased albums that can't be downloaded?

    There are several albums that I bought and need to download, but when I go to the album, it says "purchased" and there's no option to download. I also went to purchased albums, and it isn't in there.

    Because the developers do not make them available in all countries.
    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( as proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND you can ONLY buy while inside the borders of that country.

  • Why are there lines behind the dock

    I have these strange lines that only occur behind the dock.  What do you think is going on with my computer?  Thanks!

    It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
    My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
    It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
    Good luck!

  • My browser toolbar keeps defaulting to Ask instead of Google. Have deleted it, moved it and everytime I reboot there it is. How can I remove or set Google as default?

    I am running Win7. On my screen, there is a field that lists the browsers available. The default seems to be Ask with the others listed, about 5. There is a button to move them according to preference so I move Google up to the top. Then there is also a button to Remove the ones I don't want to use. I have tried both of those and everytime I reboot or open up the Mozilla browser page it defauts back to Ask. How can I stop this from happening. Did read there is a workaround but not sure that is what I should do

    There is a quick, clear guide for changing this on [http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/change-firefox-4-address-bar-search-engine-provider/ this page] as the dedicated search bar and the omnibar ''do'' have very different requirements for changing.

  • I can not remove itunes from my computer.

    I've tried all these steps, in this link
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=403421&tstart=15
    and when i get to the add/remove programs menu from control panel, itunes begins to uninstall, stops, and then just goes right back to the add/remove program menu and is still there. nothing happens.
    is there any other way i can fully remove itunes from my computer.

    /ignore. i got it.

  • I have an advertisement I can not remove since updating to Firefox 12

    There is a advertisement i can not remove since i updated to 12. How can i remove this i do not like it. I have a screenshot but this will not let me post it.

    Hi spnshacres,
    Without having more information on what you are describing it is really difficult to troubleshoot. Can you please describe the ad? Where does it show up? What does it look like? Is it on every page or just a single page?
    If it is only on one page, I'd assume it is probably not a Firefox issue. If it's something that you see everywhere, I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].

  • Can you change note colors in Stickies and, if not, why is there a Show Color tab in Stickies?

    I'd like to change the colors in Stickies as I have them hanging around on my display for a while. Can you do this? If not, why is there a "Show Color" tab in Stickies under the Font menu?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    In Mavericks, click on any sticky and then from the Sticky menu, choose color and set it. Stickies will only remain on your display as long as the application itself is running. You might consider dragging /Application/Stickies to your Dock. Right click on the Stickies Dock icon and you will notice Options.
    You can make Stickies an open at login item (this is enabled in System Preferences > Users & Groups> Login Items). Each time you startup your Mac, your stickies will appear on your display. You may also wish to select Keep In Dock. Any time that you want the Stickies off your display, you simply right-click on its Dock icon and select Quit. You can choose whether they float over other windows, and can also arrange them in specific order.
    The Show Colors menu item brings up the colors palette that allows you to change the font color in selected Sticky note text.

  • How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.

  • Why is there a limit on the number of times you can attempt to join Family Share?

    I attempted to join Family Share yesterday but it did not seem to work on either my phone or iPad, which I updated to iOS8.  I tried to do it twice, both times unsuccessfully, when I attempted to do it a third time I was locked out of joining Family Share using my Apple ID for a year!  Why is there a restriction?

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    Get a longer cable?
