Can't remove automatic opening program

When I want to remove a program from the list of programs that automatically open when my MacBook Pro starts up, there is a specific program that I can't remove of the list.
Strange is that Sophos is even installed anymore on my laptop. So normally it is possible to remove it by selecting it and clicking on the - , but here the - is grey and can't be selected.
Has anybody an idea how I could remove it?
Thanks

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

  • Can I remove these Toshiba programs from my NB305?

    Like many other people, I've been disappointed with the molasses-slow behavior of my NB305 netbook.  It's slow in every respect: startup, shutdown, opening programs, running programs, etc.  Everything takes much longer than it should.  I know that the underpowered processor is the main culprit, and there's not much I can do about that.  Adding memory did not help at all.  I'm trying to figure out whether I can improve performance even a little by getting rid of all or most of the programs Toshiba loaded on to this underpowered paperweight.  In particular, I'm wondering  which programs I need to keep, if any.  I don't want to get rid of something I truly need, but I suspect that most of the following don't fall into that category (the list comes from Revo Uninstaller's list of installed programs):
    TOSHIBA Assist
    TOSHIBA ConfigFree
    TOSHIBA eco Utility
    TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
    TOSHIBA Hardware Setup
    TOSHIBA HDD Protection
    TOSHIBA SSD Alert
    TOSHIBA Media Controller
    TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
    TOSHIBA Quality Application
    TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
    TOSHIBA ReelTime
    TOSHIBA Supervisor Password
    TOSHIBA USB Sleep and Charge Utility
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How can I remove automatically scratches preserving the other areas of the photo?

    I scanned negatives.  Most of the scanned images show scratches.
    For a given photo, I can easily remove manually all the very small scratches using Filter>Noise>Dust and Scratches>Radius = 1 and Threshold = 0 (Step 1). Then I can easily remove the remaining bigger scratches with the Spot Healing Brush Tool (Step 2).  The only issue is that I have 13 000 photos to fix, and I don't have the time to correct them manually one at a time. 
    I have automated Step 1.  How can I automate Step 2?
    How can I automate Photoshop to scan a photo for scratches and when it find one apply a Spot Healing Brush Tool just on that spot with the required pen size?   
    Any other suggestions are welcome, as long as the quality of the picture is preserved and that the processing is automated.
    Please see pictures attached. 
    This could save me days of work.  Thankyou.
    Environment Information:
    ·  I am running Photoshop 12.1 *64 bit
    ·  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    ·  Amount of installed RAM: 6GB
    ·       Scanner:  Canon CanoScan 8800F
    ·  Amount of free disk space:

                G:\ - Data disk - Total size:1.81 TB showing 437GB free
    ·  Make/Model of Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

    Removing the bigger scratches cannot be automated.
    Please do not be angry now - I don't want to offend you:
    It is not reasonable to retouch all the 13000 pictures just now and one after another.
    Not all the pics are of the same inestimable value and you never will need all of them at once for web galleries, a photo show or print.
    And your digital photo frame is patient and is as happy with 25 pics as with 2500.
    Therefore let the pictures sleep peacefully on your hard drive. It's good that you have digitized them and it's enough.
    Someday you will need - say - 40 pictures for a gallery on your website, another day you want to make a gift of 3 pictures to a friend.
    Then the day is come to retouch exactly these 40 or 3 pictures, individually.

  • Can't remove start up program

    Hi.
    I just found out that the app Extensis Suitcase X1 appears in my account as a start up program. The url for the app points to a DVD I no longer own and I'm not able to remove this from that panel.
    Is there another way to do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    This entry is stored in a plist file here-
    /Users/youruser/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
    This plist is an xml file with entries relating to startup items needed by the user account.
    You can edit the file in a text editor (harder) or use a plist editing program to remove the entry for Suitcase.
    Apple provide a free plist editing program that installs as part of Xcode or you can try this one-

  • Can't remove Automaticly downloaded music

    I just got an IPhone and stupidly selected to Automaticaly download purchased music to my IPhone (kids buys stuff I don't want and we share an Itunes account). I purchased a song and  I used  it to create a ringtone.  Worked perfectly and I did it with several songs that I already had in my Itunes account.  Now on my IPhone, the newly purchased song  will only play for 30 seconds.  It shows the full 4:00 length, but it starts at 15 seconds, and stops at 45 just like I setup when I created the ringtone. I have tried to remove it and start over but it's not working.   I have deleted the ringtone in Itunes, removed my entire playlist, synced my IPhone.    All my other music is gone, but not the recently purchased stuff.   I think It's got something to do with it being automatically downloaded when purchased.  
    Is there some way to remove all the "Purchased Music"?  I have gone to Store and turned off automatic downloads.
    When I synce it to my IPOD, the song  is fine.  When I play it in ITunes, it is fine.  Starts at the beginning, and plays until the end.  

    Any love here? Still having the same problem-can't sync new music added to my computer. I don't want to uncheck the manually manage music button because then the entire library will sync, and that will overload my phone.
    Thanks

  • I can't remove a spyware program from my Thinkpad G40, even after using the factory reinstall

    Hello,
    Is it me or is this in German?  I recently discovered a spy-ware program that had escaped detection for months.  When I tried to remove it  critical files disappeared.  I am running Windows XP pro.  I also found a program Supportable Agent-en which I could not uninstall.  I did find a way to erase some of the programs files, but the, you guessed it, windows would not load.  I followed the instructions for returning the O.S. to factory condition, which is supposed to erase the hard drive, but when the process was done the program was still there.  I attempted the reinstall several times and observed that right at the end of the program installment phase, Support.com  unzipped and installed itself.  Of course I am not able to load any virus removal software.  Can anyone explain what is happening and if there is anything that I can do to fix it?  Thank you, Scott
    Solved!

    You can follow this method if you have the recovery cds with you.Use Lenovo's secure data disposal and wipe the entire HDD clean, then use your discs to restore to the default factory settings.

  • Can I remove saved open tabs for old computer?

    Hello,
    I just did a clean install onto my rMBP because I am having problems with Mavericks and WD HDDs using TimeMachine.  In any case now iCloud bookmarks thinks that I have two different rMBPs in terms of my iCloud tabs across my devices.  Is there any way to delete the saved tabs in iCloud for my pre-clean install rMBP ???
    Thanks !!!

    They will just disappear after a while, they are only kept for a few weeks, but I'm not 100% sure exactly how long.

  • HT5624 I just updated the software on my iPad and now can't get all the open files to close as I used to in older version. When I double-click the round button, the open programs show up, but I can't hold down to have the "x" appear to close them. Help.

    I just downloaded the updated software and now can't shut down open programs like I used to by holding downthe round button, having them appear at the bottom of the screen, holding them down for the "x" to appear and then closing them by clicking "x". I can get the program icons to appear, but don't know how to shut them off now.

    Swipe up or drag up on the app window to close the app.

  • Can I remove just Entourage & Messenger?

    I just installed Office 2008 for Mac. I was hoping it would allow me to custom install because I don't want Messenger or Entourage on this Mac, but I did not see any such option.
    Can I remove these two programs without adverse effect? And if so, how do I uninstall them?
    Thanks!
    Daisy

    You have to uninstall it all, then re-install just the apps you want. There's a "Customize" button at the bottom of the dialog before the last step of the installer where you can choose which packages to install.
    I should mention that removing Entourage didn't remove [what I thought was] it's calendar reminder thing; the atrocious purple pop up. iCal now properly handles all of my calendar stuff but I haven't found a way to stop the MS reminders.

    It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
    1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
    2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
    3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
    4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
    5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
    6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
    7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

  • I just tried the 'group tabs' function but when I close a window and open a new one, the last page I viewed opens every single time. I can't remove or ignore the group tabs function and it automatically opens with it. How can I stop this?

    Before I attempted using the 'groups tab' function for the first time, there was no icon (unlike currently). There is now the icon with for the function yet I am unable to remove it or its function.

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
