Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

Hi bkbl?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks.<br />
If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css<br />
That is what I would do.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

Urgent help......can't get rid of adobe icon....

Hello,
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
In my utilities, i discover this
There's that Adobe Flash Player Install Manager..........when i click this icon, it's asking
me for my password.......which I straightaway click the cancel button, as from the news
today, I know that's a malware. No installations made whatsoever.
But I can never get rid of that icon above completely from the utilities, when i try to trash it,
this comes up -
What to do now? I'm afraid if i keyed in name and password, the opposite might
happen.....as I don't want to install this adobe flash player......any solutions to my problem?
Appreciate all the replies, thanks.

If I click on the icon itself......this will come up
When I click uninstall, also, same thing asking for password...... if i do so,
I know I'm done....... when i click quit, it'll just close the window....
Just couldn't figure out how to completely erase it out of my Mac 10.5.8 system....

Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.

Can't get rid of sync icon in menu bar

I just sold this powerbook to a friend and I'm having problems getting rid of my identity for her.
1) I can't get rid of the sync icon in the menu bar (or whatever it's called)
2) I can't get to the place in the system preferences where this is enabled because I have removed my .Mac identity from this system
3) Even though the system no longer has a .Mac identity it still seems to want to sync
4) I removed all of my contacts and groups from my address book, but each time I restart the system they all come back.

Hold down the CMD key and drag the sync icon off the menu bar.
If you're selling a computer to someone else, you should sell it in the state you bought it. So just re-install the original OS from the original disks provided with the computer. That will wipe any of your personal info, including all the stuff you don't know where it is.

Can't get rid of an icon on my desktop

I am unable to get rid of an icon on my iMac desktop. I am running OS X 10.2.8. It is a Word document. Every time I try to trash it, I get the following response:
The item “X.doc” is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash.)
Try again when the task is complete.
Well, the task (whatever it is) never seems to be complete. How do I get rid of this sucker?
Thanks,

3. Create a new document, put some text into it and...
3. From the File menu, choose Save As
4. Type: "remove" in the Save As field
5. Select the location where the problem file is located
6. Click Save....Dialog appears... The file already exist. Do you want to replace it?..... Click “Replace”
7. The “remove” file replaces/overwrites the problem file.... so drag “remove” file to the Trash.

1. Launch Terminal.
2. Type sudo rm -rf <space> (or copy/paste)
2a. You can use sudo rm <space> , but it will not work with a folder.

Can't get rid of carbonite icon from menubar

Got rid of carbonite and it no longer appears in my system preferences. However it is still in my menubar at the top right and it has an x through it. How do I get rid of that? Any help appreciated.

When I couldn't find a Carbonite folder in Applications (I had previously trashed it) I Googled how to get rid
of Carbonite icon and found a way to find the hidden Carbonite folder.
I had to: 1/ Control click on Finder on the dock and select ‘Go to Folder’.
2/ Typed /Library/Application Support/ into the window that appears.
3/ There was the Carbonite folder with 4 documents in it.
I moved the whole folder into AppZapper free demo application, and BOOM icon's gone. I had to restart to see the icon was actually gone. AppZapper is pretty cool too.

Can't get rid of ISIToolBox icons from the toolbar...

...every time I open a pdf, these icons are in the toolbar, taking up real estate. I can uncheck them from the toolbar menu and get rid of them. But who wants to do 4 extra mouse clicks every one of the tens of times they open a document each day? Any ideas for permanently getting rid of these?

Uninstalling would certainly get it done. But what if I want to use it? Reinstall?
There's already a pull-down menu (along with File, Edit, View, etc) for the ISI tools. Why does it have to be so damn invasive? Why can't I just ask it not to automatically put the icons in my toolbar?

How can I get rid of Itunes 11 - such a bad version !!- and get back to the previous version?

How come the new itunes 11 is so bad? I need to force quit every 10 mn as it buggs all the time for no reasons (for ex. when I search a song beginning by "a"): Moreover, the search engine is not reliable at all, the Genius application is dead, the tracks disappear, the duplicate function is acting silly etc
So please any tip to get rid of this technological accident and get back the previous version?
Thanks.

Can't Get rid of "9" Icon on bar

On the bar where the airport, clock and battery are there is a "9" there from when I installed CLASSIC PREFERENCES to use the free protools version from the website. I decided i didn't want this anymore and I erased all the Mac OS 9 files from my computer. The only thing left is the icon and it won't go away. It is really annoying that I can't get it out. Can someone please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Command-click and hold on the menu bar icon, then drag it out of the menu bar and let go. Poof.

I can't get rid of iTunes match

Hi everyone,
I have a rather strange problem with my iTunes match. After having it for about two years my subscription recently expired and I did not renew it. I don't know if I have to defend my decision, but basically what it boils down to is that I usually have all the music I want to listen to on my phone anyway, and for other music there is a bunch of alternative streaming services that allow me to access large libraries including music that I don't actually own.
Anyway, I just didn't renew the subscription and thought I was done with it. But wait, there is more. First of all, the cloud icon did not disappear from my library, only upon turning off match in the iTunes store the cloud was gone. A minor inconvenience. The bigger problem is, that since my subscription expired, I can no longer add music to my phone. While being subscribed to iTunes match that was not really a problem since I would just download the song i wanted to listen to, but now without that option, i simply can not put any music on my phone. All I see in the music tab in iTunes when syncing my phone is a message stating "iTunes match is on" and something about voicerecordings.
So I tried to turn off match in the preferences, but no luck, there actually isn't even an option, the only mention of match is "renew subscription" (I was almost tempted to do that, but after clicking on the link all that opened was a white page with no content).
I tried to find a solution online, like deleting all music manually (great, now I have no music on my phone at all) and signing out of your account in the app/itunes store preferences (that changed the link in the music preferences from "renew" to "subscribe", but still directs to a white page).
So now I'm stuck not being able to put ANY music on my phone. Does anybody have a similar problem? Or even better, a solution?
Thanks in advance!

First trouble shooting step is to sign out of the iTunes Store on the device, restart the device, and sign back in. This will generally clear up the problem.

Can't get rid of prohibitory icon no matter what I try

Every time I try to start up, no matter what technique I use -- 10.3 System disk startup, Command S, x, the darned thing keeps giving me the prohibitory icon. All peripherals are removed.
It was working fine a few hours ago. What appeared to preceed it was having a problem with Word 2004, which kept freezing on me. I uninstalled and re-installed several times without getting it to work.
What the heck can I try now?

Hi marigold
Have you seen these Apple articles on prohibitory sign/ Start Up difficulties?

Can't get rid of iTunes Match

I had horrible problems with iTunes Match on a large music collection - about 4,000 items would not upload or match from iTunes, they just showed 'error'. So after discussing with Apple for 6 months I turned it off and they gave me a refund.
But on my iPhone it seems like it is still remembering all the stuff which was on iTunes Match and it will not sync properly with iTunes. The problem seems to be worse since upgrading to iOS 6.
So I have loads of tracks which will not sync, and duplicate content of other tracks. So some albumbs show (and play) every track twice even though the music only exists once on the iPhone and other albums will not play some (or all) tracks at all.
I've turned off iTunes Match on the iPhone and emptied all music using Settings/Usage. However Music still thinks that all the content is still there - it shows up in dim type but no music is playable because it's not really there.
I attempted to resync. This works the first time in that it tries to copy all the tracks across, but if you interrupt the sync (and I have to because I don't have 24 hours where I can leave phone and computer in same location) then on subsequent syncs it doesn't attempt to sync the remaining tracks. So right now the phone thinks it contains thousands of songs but about a third of them are dimmed and won't play. iTunes refuses to sync any more as it seems to think the job is done.
I tried turning iTunes Match back on as per a previous tip, but my subscription is expired so it just turns itself off again.
Help! Run out of ideas (other than complete phone reset)
TIA
James

well that didn't do any good. it still left about 25 songs which would neither play nor delete. So I reached for iExplorer and deleted the iTunes Control folder as per a previous tip. This successfully emptied the music folder so I thought I was on my way.
Restarted phone, then synced. This simply added the entire music library back on to the phone as before, with all titles dim and nothing playable. iTunes would not copy the music files across, it seemed to be convinced that they were already there.
So I have done a reset and restore from backup, and the tracks now appear to be syncing across.

Can't get rid of an icon of myself

Guys,
I have a weird problem. A picture of myself that I took through my MBP (which is hedious) is showing up along with my yahoo e-mail. Whenever I send a message, the picture or icon of myself is showing up as a little picture appearing in the upper right corner of the e-mail. Strangely enough, I can't see this picture when I'm looking at it through my MBP in safari, but it appears when I see that same e-mail on my iphone safari. I've since deleted that photo on my MBP but it's still showing up through my email when I see it on the iphone through safar. Please help. This picture was one of those things that apple typically prompts you for a photo when setting up a new os. I hope you guys know what I mean. Ive look at my login users through system preferences but no user has that picture assigned.

Charlie,
what mail program are you referring to? I don't have a mail program on my iphone (ios6) like i do on my mbp; only the yahoo and gmail that's been setup.
I've deleted all the photos that resemble that self pic in iphoto as well as photobooth. i don't have any pics in my contacts list. I got a feeling this is isolated to the iphone as i don't see any of this icon when viewing yahoo mail through the macbook.

How can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar in 4.0 so I just have text there (fit more bookmarks in visible portion) but not switch off other icons?

How can I change the bookmarks toolbar so that it shows only text and not icons (so I can fit more bookmarks on the visible portion) in 4.0 without turning off other icons? This was easy in version 3.

You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer
