Closing an application that does not show up as open

I downloaded an application off the internet and it is messing with my computer. I tried all the ways to delete but it wont because the error message says that it is still open. however, I cannot close it using the conventional methods including turning off the computer. it does not show up as open when I use the force quit menu so it will not let me force quit it. ultimately, I want to delete this intrusive application.

Name of app?
Did it come w/a Read Me file?
Did it come w/an uninstaller? If so, use it. If not, go the app manufacturer website for uninstalling instructions.
Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. You can disable from there. Also, there is a mapping location of where the file is.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes. How do I delete it from my Iphone 5?

If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it. As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

What do you mean by "Close?"
Eject??
If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

I have one app that does not show up in Launchpad

I have one app, the game Diablo II, that still shows up in my Applications folder as it always has but does not show up in Launchpad when I pull that up in Lion. All of my other apps are there in Launchpad... but not this one. Any idea how I make an app that I can see in my Applications folder show up in launchpad also?

If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it. As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

Application icon does not show up in iTunes - AdHoc distribution.

I set an icon of size 57 x 57 as the application icon. The icon shows up in the applications list of the iphone. When I bundle it for an adhoc distribution and add it to iTunes, the icon does not show up in the iTunes Application list. But it shows up on the iphone device that I copy to.
Am I missing something?

iTunes does not use the icon for display (the icon is only used on the phone itself). In order for iTunes to display the artwork as well, you need to create a 512x512 JPEG file named "iTunesArtwork" (no extension) and copy it into the application bundle (note that you will have to build the application again after this so that the code signature will sign the additional file as well).
This file should be same (other than the name) you load up to iTunesConnect as the 512x512 artwork.

I have a old excel file that does not show hiding cell boxes on my Mac.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

How to install software that does not show in add\remove?

I have a agent that i need to install on all our computers but the program does not show in add\remove when installed correctly.
It does however have a service that runs and some processes that run.
Can someone tell me what the best way of installing this is?
Should I create a collection based of the Service\Process or even based of the file sitting in C:\Program Files.
I wanted to create a collection of computers that had the software already then create another collection that had all computers with it missing and create a advertisement from this..
I am just not sure how to do this one when it does not show in add\remove

Please create the new SCCM query based collection for computers which have required software installed. We can create this collection based on service.
For example :Below SCCM query will add the computers which firewall service is in disabled mode.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SERVICE on SMS_G_System_SERVICE.ResourceId =
SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SERVICE.Name like "MpsSvc" and SMS_G_System_SERVICE.StartMode like "Disabled"
Create another collection for computers which have software not installed and add the below query for the collection. Replace the "CollectionID" with collectionID of first collection.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where ResourceID not in (select ResourceID from SMS_FullCollectionMembership
where CollectionID = "CollectionID")

How do I delete unwanted music from an iPhone 4 that does not show in iTunes on the computer?

How do I delete songs from my iPhone that is not showing up in my iTunes library on my laptop? The songs appear to be from iCloud. I sync to my laptop. Show All music is off. iTunes Match is off.

Hi Lancefromgoldcoast,
When you hook up your device and click on it, to the right you will see the Device Profile Screens with tabs like Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Click on the Photos tab. There you will see the boxes that you select to sync (or not sync) your music. To turn off the Music sync, make sure the "Sync Music" box is not checked.
Cheers,

Report similar to MC$4 that does not show absolute values

Hi all,
We need a report similar to Report similar to MC$4 which has the same drilldown capabilities but does not show absolute values, and instead shows the proper (actual) values.
Or if its possible to change something in the MC$4 report to show the actual values and not the absolute.
Thanks in advance!
George

HI
Your input criteria should contain all plant numbers and the period to be analyzed. Execute the report and then select: Plant Analysis\Export\Transfer to XXL\Deselect all options and tick Plant, Storage Location and Month. Follow the options to export to Excel. Report will be based on Plant, Storage location and Month.

Hold down the mouse button while restarting. This should eject any disc in the drive.

Building an application that does not use any local program files or libraries

I need to build an application that will not use any local libraries or LabView program files(even if LabView is installed on the PC). I also am curious if anyone knows if there is a way to debug such an application(in it's compiled state).
Any help on these topics would be greatly appreciated.
-Nate
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I am unclear on what you are trying to accomplish here. As the previous poster mentioned, if you enable debugging when building your application, you can remotely connect and probe the block diagram of the running executable. Executables use the run-time engine but could also access drivers or other run-times if using a specialized toolkit/module. This all depends on your application.
