Remove "apple -mac os x" url from dock

How do I do it? There has to be a way. I already have the shortcut in Safari I don't need it in the dock.

Dude! You surely am JAM'N! with that rapid answer!
But it won't go for some reason. I did it with a G4 tower that I fresh installed on a new drive the other day but for some reason I can't get it to go to the trash on this little iBook. I did choose to customize the install by declining to install all the languages and asian fonts, etc. if that makes a difference.

  • Want to restore Apple - Mac OS X icon to Dock

    I accidentally dragged the Apple - OS X icon off the dock, so it went poof and disappeared. In order to put it back, I assume I just drag something to the dock, but I don't know where to find that item. How do I put it back? This is the thing that looks like an @ on top of a spring, on the right side of the divider. Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    All you have to do is go to the website and then highlight the url in the address bar and drag it down to the dock and your link will reappear.
    Not sure what page it linked to though - I assume this one:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/
    If not, maybe somebody can correct me.

  • Apple mac g5 needs rebooting from cd but it doesnt recognize the wired keyboard  so i cannot give the computer any commands

    my apple mac g5 needs rebooting due to me clearing the whole system, however the tower nolonger recognizes the wired keyboard,
    so i cannot use the c key to boot from disk.

    By rebooting do you mean reinstalling the Mac OS?
    You may have to use another keyboard (preferably an Apple one) but also make sure the basics are correct, such as solid connection, not using a USB hub for the keyboard etc. Also plug the keyboard into the back of the G5 (not sure why this works but it does).

  • Apple applications won't restart from dock

    I've had this problem with Lion since day one, and although I am now running 10.7.4, the problem persists.
    I run a MacBook Pro with mostly standard software. The exceptions are Adobe Flash Player, Flip4Mac WMV, Growl, Perian, Synergy, and Logitech Control Center. Most recent versions of all these products are installed.
    I keep all of the applications I use most frequently on my dock. Most of the time I have Mail, iCal, Safari, System Preferences, Address Book, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, Adobe Reader, and Dictionary open. Filemaker Pro, Skype, and Stickies are often open as well. iPhoto, iPhoto Library Manager, and iTunes are only occasionally open.
    I generally sleep my computer when not using it. I restart about once a week on average.
    If I want to bring one of these applications to the front, I click on the Dock icon. Mail, Safari, and the non-Apple applications ALWAYS come to the front.
    iCal, System Preferences, Address Book, and Dictionary hardly ever do. In order to access them, I have to launch Launchpad, then click on the dock icon again since Launchpad does not bring them to the front.
    If I minimize the applications instead of hiding them, the minimized icon works, but then my dock has two versions of each application.

    What happens if you go to office preferences (from your pulldown menu with Word or Excel open) >> general >> "show project gallery at startup" and deselect that item?
    It's also possible that it could be a font that Office does not care for. Try dragging ~(yourhome)/library/fonts to the desktop and logging out and back in or restarting.

  • How to Remove Mac OS X Games from GameCenter?

    I've uninstalled a game from my mac, but how do I remove the MAC OS X game from gamecenter? (Not ios)

    Recover the backup you made prior to installing it.  If you made no backup, let that be a lesson, never apply an update without backing or install any software without backing up*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    You can restore your system to the older operating system, by applying the installer that installed 10.6, followed by the 10.6.8 combo update.  However, some things may not operate as expected.  In that event an erase and install might be needed.    Make sure before any erase you have at least two backups handy.

  • Apple - Mac OS X icon

    I have this icon named Apple - Mac OS X on my dock. I was just curious about what is its purpose.
    Thanks

    It's a link to the Apple Website. If you drag the icon next to the web address in a browser to the right side of the dock, it creates the same sort of shortcut.

    Your Home folder is located in the /Users/ folder. Double-click on the disk icon on your Desktop. Double-click on the Home folder. Select the Downloads folder and drag its icon into the Dock on the right side of the Dock's sizing bar (next to the Trash icon.)

  • Unable to add or remove items from dock

    First, sorry if this is a duplicate post - I did a number of searches and came up with lots of "frozen dock" and other bugs that weren't this one. There seemed to be pages and pages and after several I just gave up and posted myself.
    For the past few weeks I have noticed that I have been unable to remove any items from the dock. It is not that I get an error message when I try to remove them, they just don't budge.
    If an item is in the doc and the program is active, and I ctrl-click on the item - there is no longer a "Remove from dock" option.
    Further if a program is in the doc only because it is running and is not "always there", the ctrl-click will no longer give the "Keep in dock" option either.
    The lack of error message almost makes me think I have set some "feature" without realizing it - rather than encountering a bug.
    However, I would very much like it to go away anyway
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Will
    Powerbook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    It sounds like you might have the 'contents-immutable' setting enabled on your "Dock". The only GUI available to an OS X client machine to adjust this setting is under "Parental Controls" in the "Accounts" pref pane - if your account is listed there as "managed", then it's possible that it may have become activated, in which case it should be possible to log out of the account, then in to an "admin" account and change the setting from there.
    Unlike "parental controls" which manage the "Dock" through 'mcx_settings', it is also possible to set the property directly in the "com.apple.dock.plist" file in the user's "~/Library/Preferences" folder. Usually this wouldn't be expected to happen by accident - third party software is often involved when hidden settings are suddenly found to have been enabled.
    If 'contents-immutable' has been set in the ".plist" file, one way to get rid of it is to move the "com.apple.dock.plist" file out of the "~/Library/preferences" folder, logging out and back in. The "Dock" will revert to default settings so it will be necessary to reconfigure it again. Alternatively, try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands:<pre>defaults delete com.apple.dock contents-immutable
    osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'</pre>

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

    I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
    iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock.  All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back.  I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac.  Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with.  I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD).  My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

    All images and movies are still on Mac
    Of course they are.  Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.
