Can't remove GoBoingo wireless app

Hi -
I want to remove the GoBoingo wireless app. from my MacBook (OSX 10.5.4). When I try to delete the application I get the error message "Cannot move to Trash because GoBoingo is open." This is because it runs in the background, I know. But I can't even force-quit it to delete it; it doesn't appear as a running application. Has anyone else solved this?
thanks!

I am not familiar with this Application - but I have some general suggestions:
1) If it was installed using an installer, see if you can run the installer to uninstall it.
2) If that doesn't work, logout, and then log back in with the shift key held down (this disables start up items on your account). Then you can delete the application and remove it from your Login Items in System Preferences -> Accounts -> yourusername
3) If that doesn't work, restart and hold down the shift key. This will start in Safe Mode, which will not load any third party extensions at all. You will then be able to delete the application. If that is the case you should also need to look in /library/launchdaemons and library/launchagents for the plist that starts the application (which you can then delete).

    can i remove the an app once placed in newstand?

    Tap and hold the app until all apps begin to wiggle. you should see an X in teh upper left corner of the app. Tap that.
    If you appear to be unable to delete any apps, it may be that restrictions have been set on the iPad preventing app deletion. Open the Settings app > General > Restrictions to check that.

  • Can I remove the compass app?

    The golfing powers that be have determined we can no longer use our Golf GPS apps in competition because Apple have a pre-installed compass on the phone. Hopefully if the golfers generate enough fuss about this then Apple will release a software update that allows its removal. Its not rocket science Apple... but it is already causing a major talking point.

    Removing the compass app would not stop the compass working in Golf GPS apps. The compass is a hardware feature with software to view its output. The phone needs to know which way it is pointing to provide an accurate GPS view.

  • Can't remove deleted iPhone apps from Mac

    I haven't been able to find the specific answer to this one.
    After removing an app from my iPhone 4S, I also try to remove it from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks 10.9).
    For example, if trying to remove my "CBS" app (see image below)
    Steps to reproduce: Connect phone to Mac > Open iTunes on Mac > iPhone > Apps
    I have the option to "Install" it again, but no option remove or uninstall it completely. The "Remove" button only seems to apply to apps I have kept on my iPhone and do not want to remove e.g. the Fandango, Flixster, HBO GO apps.
    How can I completely remove/uninstall the CBS app from the list of options? It didn't work well and I no longer intend to use it.
    Thanks

  • How can I reset my system password I forgot it and can't remove or purchase apps

    I forgot my system password and can't retrieve it can anyone tell me how to reset it or recover it.

    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • I can't remove third party apps from my macbook pro.

    I have installed some third party apps and now want to delete them. The apps are: MorphVOX, YTD, and Paintbrush. I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do. Please help me. I have macbook pro OS X 10.9.4

    I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do.
    What happens when you try?  Have you tried holding down the Command(⌘) key and then drag to the Trash bin in the Dock?
    Do the apps have an uninstaller that came with the app? Many do.  Check the website for them to see if one is offered.
    Do not try to use CleanMyMac, MacKeeper or any of those types of apps to do the trick.  They will damage your system.

  • Removing the social app 1.5 from N8 Belle

    How can I remove the Social app version 1.5 from my N8 Belle. Is there a component catalogue with descriptions what to delete in program manager?
    I don't need Social/Twitter/Facebook on my business phone especially when these apps are modifying my addressbook.

    You can go into Settings -> Installations -> Already installed and remove everything Social as I did
    But if you do this then you will always be "warned" that you have an update waiting for you!

  • HT1338 how can I remove an app store app from 10.6.8

    I downloaded an app from the appstore and want to remove it, but it remains in the "installed" state in app store. How can I remove it from the app store's idea of what's installed?

    It's a desktop app, the only kind available from the appstore, as I indicated in my original post. Also, as indicated in the original post, dragging to the trash removes it from my system, but not from the Appstore's notion of what's installed. The Appstore still thinks it's installed. That's the problem. It's a hygiene issue.

  • My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove?

    My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
    Can anyone help me?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not.  If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID.  (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library.  It was subsequently synced to your phone.)  The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

  • How can I remove apps from my iPad

    How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

    It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

  • Can't remove expired apps from memory card

    I have an N73 and had some applications with a developers certification installed to my memory card. I then did a firmware upgrade. Now every time I start the phone it wants to install these applications but fails and tells me to upgrade via the Application Manager. In the Application Manager these apps are listed as uninstalled, if I try to remove them it fails due to expired certificate (which is probably true). But I can't remove them either, and haven't found any files to delete browsing the card. Suggestions? 

    This worked for one app--actually I could install it and after resetting the clock it still runs fine. Didn't think the certificate mechanism was so unintelligent.
    One app didn't work anyway, it might've gotten corrupted. Found I could mount my memory card to my desktop and search for the application code, which was listed in the Application Manager, and manually delete all references to it.
