CANT DELETE STARTUP ITEMS FORM PANE!!!

Hi,
I've posted, asked a lot and tried lot of things, but the "Startup Items" window under the accounts pane in Sys Prefs. is now 75 and counting!!! and I'm feeling there's nothing I can do about it!!!
I can't delete the startup items wich all of them read "Extensis Suitcase X1" and "Unknown". Obiously I installed Suitcase and told the app to load at startup, but i feels like auto-duplicates each time I start up the Mac!
I first autenthicate, then select wether one by one or many of them at a time. Click on the "-" button, and nothing! They still remain there like sticked whit cement glue!
Someone could tell me what's next???
Thanks!!

Hi, Jota and Richard —
Jota, I don't use Suitcase — and thus can't test solutions — so I'll limit my suggestions.
(1) You may find a specific answer by searching the Extensis KnowledgeBase from this Support web-page. Here are results from a search using terms [login items] — including how to uninstall, problems with multiple accounts, their "Top 5 Troubleshooting Steps" for Mac, etc. I've read through enough of the articles to realize that installing and troubleshooting their software can get pretty complex — so I think following their instructions would be wise...
(2) Have you checked in your HD's /Library/StartupItems/ folder?
(3) I'm not clear on whether you're trying to troubleshoot a problem that may relate to Startup/Login Items. If so, please recall that booting into Safe Mode may help to troubleshoot font, font-cache, and startup-items problems.
Good luck!

How to delete startup items

When I go into System Preferences, then to Accounts, and then to Startup Items, I find a number of items in the menu that I do not want. How do I delete these items permanently? (Not turn them off, but delete.)

Thanks. I did that, but the highlighted line just moves up the list without deleting the previous item.

How do I delete Startup Items showing in sys info?

System Information > Software > Startup Items shows four things (Seti, PureFTPD, uControl, Virex) that are old and I have no use for. They are labeled as 'enabled'. I would like to delete these.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Delete single item form multiple populated list

Hi,
please help me to find a solution!!
I have 2 listboxes. listbox Description is populated by XML.
When user selects multiple items at the same time from the Description listbox, they are populated in the listbox and are removed from Description listbox. that works fine.
But the issue is if the user accidently selects one of the multiple selected items at the same time wrong and want to delete a single items, this doesnt work anymore.
I can not even click on each single item.
I try to find a way how to enable user to populate multiple items at the same time and be able to delete each single item, which then should return back to the Description listbox.
I would really appreciate if you could help me on this!!!
This is my sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=l0mujTOFduSJFele5R5i3g
Thanks,
Diana

Would you not just reverse your code ..instead of populating listbox from the selections in description and deleting the items out of description, remove the items from listbox and update description then remove the items from listbox.
Or am I missing something?

Deleting Startup items

In my /Library/StartupItems folder VirtualBox is in there and I have long since uninstalled it from my computer. Is it safe to delete?

Yes. It should also show in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Highligh account on the left > Login items tab. > click the lock to authenticate/unlock > select VirtualBox > click the "-" icon below the list.

Adobe CS5 start up issue resolved by deleting startup items - Mac OS X

I'd like to share what happened to me just now.
After uninstalling and installing Adobe CS5 five times and talking with Adobe and Apple support for five hours, Apple customer support suggested +I delete the start up items in my administrator account's login menu.+
Now all CS5 programs launch and work fine. Before, they would only work on guest accounts.
Imagine that!

I'll second that on the tablet driver. Yesterday I upgraded my G5 to Leopard so I could sync it with my new iPhone 4, but it won't boot now because of an outdated Wacom Intuos 2 driver. I've booted from a second hard drive and deleted every file obviously named, but one obscurely-named file is bringing the whole system to its knees (or perhaps it's something else trying to load right after the tablet driver error dialog comes up...). For now, I'm running Leopard on an external drive and will have to rebuild and reinstall everything on the main drive, including a LOT of graphics, music, and development stuff. I've purchased every Mac OS upgrade since System 6, and it's always gone smoothly, so I guess I should just be thankful that things have gone so well until now.

Form Builder 6 -- built-in delete menu item

Hi all,
The built-in delete menu item doesn't ask for confirmation whether we wanted to delete the record or not.
Can anyone here tell me how to add in the confirmation (e.g. Are you sure to delete?) before deleting the record?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vivian

You can use Key-DELREC trigger. More you can read in the Forms on-line help DO_KEY built-in.

Is it okay to delete SymSecondaryLaunch from my Log in at startup Items in System Preferences? I no longer use any Norton products.

Is it okay to delete SymSecondaryLaunch from my Log in at startup Items in System Preferences? I no longer use any Norton products. I have no clue what SymSecondaryLaunch does but it appears to be related to Symantec.

You are not required to have any login items so yes, you can safely remove. However some applications will continue to add it's self back until completely uninstalled. You might have to download an install to get an uninstaller.

It's possible you have other old software that is running parts. Download EtreCheck and paste results here for help troubleshooting.

Those startup items were installed with third-party software you installed on your computer. You can remove all of them, but the software that depends upon them will no longer work.

10.6.4 deleted most startup items

Hi there,
I installed 10.6.4 yesterday without any error messages. After the reboot I realized that most of my startup items have vanished. How could that happen?
Does anyone know the physical folder where these items are normanlly stored?
Thx!
Jan

Hi Kappy,
I had programs which were started automatically at login. They were shown in my user profil under the system preferences.
Most of them were active in the background and visible in the menu bar, like "ShoveBox", "Transmit" etc.
I can not find this folder. It seems the whole folder is gone after the update.
Is there a place where things are stored in these cases. There is nothing in the trash.
