Can't remove Acrobat Reader 8 icon from Finder view

Several weeks ago I downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader 8, deleting version 7.
Since then, if I double-click on the Finder icon in the Dock I see an Acrobat icon there along with icons for my other folders. If I click on it, the program opens.
The icon doesn't appear on my Desktop.
How can I get rid of it?

Ah, I seem to have solved the problem: when I double-click on the TRASH icon in the Dock and drag the Adobe icon from the left column of folder icons into the Trash area I got a "poof" animation and the Adobe is gone at last!

    Will it let you delete it on the phone now? If it still shows waiting, just tap it once on the app itself and it should download the rest  of the way. Do it while your on wifi tho.

  • How Can I Remove A Persistent Icon From Dock

    I've got an app's icon in my dock with a question mark in it.  I am unable to remove the icon from the dock(I should be able to push the icon out with my cursor and have it go "poof" but can't).  I deleted the app from my hard drive but the errant icon persists. I would think that there would be a file in my system  representing the icon but can't locate it.  How can I permanently delete the icon ?

    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    Setup your Dock icons again.

    How can I permanently remove the adobe reader V9 icon from Excel and Outlook? I used toolbar customize to delete the icons but they come back when I restart the programs.

    Is it possible to remove an icon?

    No. Nothing can be removed from the initial iPhone firmware. Also nothing can be added other than an official Apple Update.

  • How can I remove an application icon from the loc. bar and prevent it from auto loading?

    I don't know the "lingo" of how-to's with Firefox; but I subscribed to www.catalogchoice.org. Somehow, the icon appears to the right of my print icon in the location bar and automatically pops-up when I go to any website. I can't find how to remove it from the toolbar and remove it from Firefox. I cancelled my subscription with them but continue to have this annoyance.

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How Can I Remove An Application Icon From My Desktop?

    Every time I open Google Earth or Firefox, I little icon pops up on my desktop as a "disk". To make it go away I have to eject it. Surely there has to be a way to open a program and not have this happen. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm still fairly new to this. Thanks to anyone who can tell me what to do!

    OK...I just figured out!
    When I dragged the icon down to my dock, I actually used the one from the volume instead of the one from my applications folder. Therefore it always wanted to open the .dmg file instead of the actual program. I THINK I said that all correctly! Thanks for the help though, you gave me the idea to try something different than I was and I found the solution.

  • How do you remove the Messages icon from iPad.

    How can I remove the Messages icon from iPad.

    The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. You can move it into a folder and place the folder on another screen if you don't want to use the app or see the icon.
    Tap and hold down on the icon until it begins wiggling and then drag the wiggling icon on top of another icon - any other app that you do not want to use would be ideal - and that will create a folder. Name the folder whatever you like. Tap anywhere outside of the folder to close it.
    While the folder and icons are still wiggling - drag the folder over to the edge of the screen - about halfway over - and just hold it there for a second or so and it will jump over to the next screen. When you are done - Tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.

  • My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
    and problem with my Zip Drive.  However:
        1.  Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
        2.  To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
             coverings.  Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
              of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
          3.  I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
               theiomega zip drive in there.
    Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
    Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
    "ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
    Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
    I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
    clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
    continued to compile, so I closed it.
    Within my Mac OS X HD>  Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
    with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
    "No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found.  Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
    trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?
    Thanks,     Peterfromcrystallake

  • How can i remove the shuffle feature from my nano?

    How can I remove the shuffle feature from my nano?  I apparently "shook" it and now it is on shuffle.  I can go to settings and remove the shake feature but I can't seem to restore my playing options to a generic loop instead of the shuffle.  Help!

    chelseafromco:  I had the same problem and had an awful time before finding a clear explanation of the solution.  Forget the iPod nano 6Gen manual, p. 21; it doesn't tell you how to turn the feature off, just how to turn it on.  Not all of us like randomizing our playlists.  APPLE:  PUT UP AN ARTICLE EXPLAINING SIMPLY HOW TO DO THIS.  Meanwhile, here's what worked for me:
    1.  Go to the "Now Playing" icon and tap the "Play" arrow in the center.
    2.  On the touch screen that comes up (you'll see an eighth-note graphic with the song title superimposed at the top, a Play/Pause button in the middle, and "Reverse" and "Forward" buttons on either side of that), swipe your finger to the left (not to the right).
    3.  This touch screen will have a "Repeat" symbol with two arrows like a snake eating its tail on the left and another symbol on the right that shows two arrows pointing to the right.  This is the "Shuffle" symbol.  Touch the Shuffle symbol so it's white, not blue.  White means that Shuffle is  off.
    4.  To make sure you won't accidentally turn Shuffle on, which you can do by giving the iPod a shake, go to the main Settings icon, cick it and select "Music," then press "Shake to Shuffle" until the button next to it says "Off" (white, not blue).
    Hope this helps.  By the way, in case you were wondering:  The whirling-molecule symbol in the center of the "Now Playing" controls is the Apple "Genius" symbol. This is to remind us that Apple's  manuals are created by people who don't know that customers need  instructions on how to turn things off as well as how to turn them on.

    I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.
