An application can not be deleted, because it says it is open. How do I get rid of this?

An application cannot be deleted, because it shows that it is open. How do I get rid of this? It will not allow it to be trashed.

1) Click on the Apple icon - top left of your screen
2) Select Force Quit
3) When new window drops down, select the application in question
4) Click on the Force Quit button on the bottom right of that window.
This has always worked for me. I hope it does for you. Good luck!

When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

What is the purpose of the double click? If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

Hello drumsdonkey,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Pop up window saying my startup disc is full, I may need to delete files. How do I get rid of this?

I just got this pop-up window tonight. How do I get rid of this?

You need to, you know, delete things to create some free space on your disk.
That doesn't mean you have to discard any data:
If you have data you haven't looked at in a long time and aren't likely to need regularly, you can burn it to CD or DVD or some other storage media and then delete it from your internal hard drive. You can still access it when needed, but it won't be taking up space on your hard drive.
A better but more expensive option is to purchase an external hard drive (as large as you can afford, with a FireWire-800 interface for best performance) and move as much as you can onto it. Your entire iTunes library is often a good choice as it tends to be full of movies, TV shows, and music videos which - together - tend to add up to a lot of disk space. The only downside is that you will be able to access that media only when you have the external drive attached, but if you spend a lot of time at your desk or otherwise in one spot with your laptop, it's not much of a downside.
You could also get a larger internal hard drive, of cours, but they're non-trivial to replace in recent Apple laptops.

i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar. How do I get rid of this?

You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari.
