How do I get rid of the iDisk icon from my desktop?

I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" with the latest version of Snow Leopard. My local hard drive icon was missing but thankfully I figured out how to get that back. However, I also have the blue iDisk icon on my desktop for which I have no use. How do I get rid of that icon? I trying ejecting it (Command-E) but to no avail.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Randy

The same thing happened to me, and I finally found the answer. I thought I'd post in case others had the same problem:
Snow Leopard has a new setting under System Preferences > MobileMe within the "iDisk" tab: there's a feature now called "iDisk Sync" that lets you create a virtual "DropBox" from your iDisk if this feature is turned on -- disabling it as a internet only drive.
If you turn this feature off, however, your iDisk will work as expected and allow you to mount / eject it.
Hope this helps!

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

  • How can I get rid of the speaker icon?!

    The speaker icon (labeled "sound effects") started popping up for no reason in the middle of the screen. It remains on the highest volume. When I lower the volume it climbs right back up to the highest. I have all the latest updates installed. I don't want to do a complete reset because I would have to reinstall everything. Is there another way to make that icon disappear?
         There's another problem and maybe they are related. When the ipod runs on the battery only it gives a false reading. It shows the battery is almost completely depleted. However, as soon as I plug it in it shows 50% (it will charge completely if I leave it plugged in). Anyone want to take a crack at solving this?

    % battery on an iPod is not accurate so what you seeing is not abnormal.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I get rid of the calendar icon that's showing on the top right of my screen?

    I can't figure out why the calendar icon is only showing when locked? When I unlock it it's not telling me I've missed anything and the icon isn't there so I can't figure out where's it coming from to delete it. Help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try a Battery Pull:
    1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
    2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
    This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=2766​0
    A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

  • How do I get rid of the 3D icon that is appearing on my screen?

    There is another post about this but it isn't helpful.
    There is an icon with a cube in it that is appearing in the upper left side of my screen. I can't find any way to turn it off. Every time I try to draw a square using the shape tool, it's in 3D. I don't want it to be in 3D, and I never turned this tool on in the first place. It's blocking my ability to get my work done. Can anyone help me figure it out?
    Much appreciate any guidance.
    Thanks!

    Select the Perspective Grid Tool (Shift + P) and click on the X in the widget in the upper left. That will remove the Perspective Grid.

  • How can I get rid of the Firefox icon in the notifications tray? I don't mean just hiding it, I mean disabling or uninstalling it.

    It's taking up space and memory, and I don't need it. For me, it's not useful in any way.

    Strange, i never saw firefox icon in my notification tray, but to remove the icon do this:
    First you need open the Registry Editor:
    Go to Start, Execute, type "regedit":

    or see this article:
    *[http://pcsupport.about.com/od/registry/ht/open-registry-editor.htm How to open Editor Registry]
    After...
    In the follow window do this way:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
    And in the right side of window delete two files:
    *IconStrems
    *PastIconsStream

  • TS1702 I made a request to update an App in my iPad, but I found out that it was not supported. How can I get rid of the annoying number from the App Store now?

    I don' t want to loose my data!!

    As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

  • How do I get rid of the Annoying Video from Firefox Flicks that pops up on my homepage?

    http://videos.mozilla.org/serv/flux/fxflicks/2012/flicks_squares.webm

    Hi,
    You can update Firefox and check: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    If the problem persists you can then Reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, after updating Firefox you may also have to delete all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • How do I get rid of the cloud icon out of my iTunes for Windows!!

    Hey, my request is really simple. I own no Apple products anymore and I'm down to using just one Apple product and now I have updated to the latest iTunes which I now regret hecause my podcast list was so much neater and simpler. I can't remove my old podcasts from my view as this cloud thingy has appeared. Can someone help me remove this icon and return to normal please? If it's not possible then I need to know and then I say farewell to Apple and hello to ANYTHING that can manage my podcasts and music without a cloud symbol. Please help.

    Well, there is a way to do the similler.
    By creating smartplaylist for podcast.
    My iTunes language is not English, and for mac. so keyword can be little bit different from yours.
    but
    make smart play list as
    + 'Media Kind' as 'Podcast'
    *if you want specific subscription then +album
    *if you want un played list only, then + 'play count' as 0
    then you'll see the list just in your computer.
    anyway I'm not sure why the **** smart playlist of podcast cannot be shuffle.

  • How do I get rid of a Facebook icon and message?

    When I power off my iMac or click “restart,” a fresh desktop screen appears.
    After everything loads, I am left with a tiny Facebook icon in the top menu bar of your desktop screen, and a window suspended in the middle of your screen which invites me to sign up for Facebook.
    At that moment, no applications are running, not even Safari.
    How do I get rid of the Facebook icon in the main menu of my Desktop, and the nagging window that floats in the middle of the desktop?

    YAY! I'm glad that made it go away. When anything weird is going on with my iPad or iPhone (or PC - not really needed with my Mac ), I find that a reset is my best friend!
    Enjoy your new iPad! I love mine, and it's an oldie - iPad 1!
