Deleted Chrome app still running in dock

I completely deleted Google Chrome from my Macbook Pro because it was apparently still running even after I quit and force-quit it multiple times. I deleted the app using AppCleaner so no Chrome files still exist (supposedly), but the app is still running in my Dock.
I've tried re-installing Chrome, but it just creates another Chrome application and the blank white page icon is still there. I deleted the second Chrome and this one still remains.
Any solutions?

The white icon suggests some Chrome files are still on your computer.
Reboot your machine after deleting the Chrome files. That's the way you finally purge your computer of applications you want to delete. Afterwards, perform a Spotlight search (Command-space) to search for other Chrome files you might have missed.
And post here with your results.

Deleted Program Files Still Running

I deleted an application via AppCleaner but some of it's files still running on activity monitor, under root user. I can not find where the files are even when I get information and follow the path under the root user. Is there another route I can go?

What program was it?
As you can see, the app cleaner programs don't always work well.
There are very few places that an app can leave their droppings that can do any harm. The most common places that an app can run at login or startup is in the following folders:
/Library/StartupItems (this one is the old way, but still used).
/Library/LaunchAgents (these run when someone logs in)
/Library/LaunchDaemons (these run when the system starts up)
~/Library/LaunchAgents (run when particular user logs in)
~/Library/StartupItems
The / means the root (hard drive) folder
The ~/ means the user home folder.
Finally, they can install in your Login Items which you can get to from the Accounts System prefs.
As Lex mentioned, you may need to stop the process before you can empty the trash (use Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder).
If an app installs stuff like that, they should provide an uninstaller and you should use that.
If it doesn't, most other droppings may be found in the Application Support folder (in both the main Library and the user Library), and the user Preferernces folder.
Generally, most apps follow Apple's naming convention of reverse domain naming (ie com.apple.appname).
Except the StartupItems folders, you should find something with a com.companyname.programname.plist. Delete it and logout and back in or restart if it was in the main Library. In StartupItems, it will be a folder with any name they decide to give it. Likely something with the name of the program.

Close Mac Server App still run?

Hello, if I close my Mac Server application (I have a mac mini) will my websites still run? Or does the app HAVE to be open?

You do not have to have Server.app running all the time. Your websites and all the other services will keep running in the background.
In fact it is firstly best not to leave Server.app running all the time because it will after a period often get confused about the status of the services, and secondly this can be a security risk as it makes it available to anyone else. It is also for the same reason not necessary or desirable to even have a user logged in on the server. The services do not need this.

Can apps still run even if closed through multi tasking?

I'm having a nightmare. I ungraded to 4.2 and safari started not loading properly after 15 mins use. No amount of clearing cache etc solved it. I got it exchanged and had 4.2 put on in the Apple store in case my version was corrupt. New phone had same issues. Another replacement... This one had a dud battery so in last ditch attempt before the long trek to the Apple store I put 4.2 on again. Battery improved but safari started not loading again- the blue bar only reaching part way so I constantly have to refresh. I keep all not active apps closed through multi tasking, also notifications off. I'm wondering if any apps can appear closed but still run- cuz asides from a bad app, I can't understand what might be causing this. Different phones, different 4.2, and always restored as a new phone. I'm at my wits end!

Thanks so much for your answer.
Yes, I am sliding to power off.

Safari disappeared, Windows are gone App still running

The Following is an example it happend previously related to other Tasks.
I try to test a Website from DW and hit the Preview-Button, this takes me to Safari. So far so good.
But all i can see is the Safari-Icon in the Dock running, it allows me to show how many windows i have currently open and all the other Dock-Icon-Rightclickoptions. I can see de Menu on top of my Screen and browse it, even use it! To create new Tabs or Windows, change from FC to Windowed and so on…
The strange thing thou is, that there is no Safari-Window at all visible!
When i go to MC it will not show up as a Fullscreen-App running nor it is visible on any other Desktop...

Using iPod with multiple computers

Why are apps still running?

Why is it that even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, there are still apps in the multitasking pane? Shouldn't all of the apps have closed when the phone was shut off?

Location apps will turn themselves back on when the phone is restarted.
For further clarification, this and Google may help a bit.

If an iPod touch 5th Gen is completely powered off, can apps still run down the battery?

Hello,
I own an iPod touch 5th generaion that is less than 2 months old, it worked great until about a week ago then the battery started depleting rapidly, usually fully within a 12 hour period even if I did not use the unit.
I started trying to figure out if there is anyting I cold do and learned a lot about apps left open draining the battery, etc. but making sure they were all closed did not help.
I then restored the unit to factory default, but this does not help.
The last thing I tried was to turn the unit completed off at night using the power switch by holding it until the unit turns off.
My question is, once I do this can any app use any power at all?
The reason I ask is because I had spoken with 3 Apple technicians and all 3 of them do not understand or can answer the question. They keep asking me if I know how to look in the taskbar to turn off the apps which once the power is off is not an available option.
I will greatly appreciate your response.
Mike.

Thanks so much for your answer.

MDT 2010 Deleted task still running

Hi Guys, I have been using MDT 2010 with Litetouch for deploying Windows 7 x64 clents for the last month. I have a main task sequence which does the deployment and a test task sequence for me to try new things out.
On the test task sequence I created custom task which deletes a desktop icon, the problem now is that even after I have deleted this task it still runs even though its not in the task sequence any longer.
Even when I create a new task sequence the deleted custom task still runs! This is very strange any ideas?

Hi,
it sounds impossible :)
I think the same action might have been configured in another step, or it might be added as a dependency on some application.
To verify, you could take a look at the xml files that descrive your applications and taks sequences in .\control.

Deleted the App Store, did the update combo v1.1; still no App Store

So, a long time ago I deleted the App Store. I don't know why, I just did. I'm still running Snow Leopard, but I need the App Store to install Lion.
I looked around to try and find a solution. I did the 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 because everyone said that it would reinstall the App Store. It didn't.
Anything else I can do? Thank you!

Have you looked in your applications folder since you downloaded the Combo update?
That is where it should be. I also keep a copy in the dock, taken from the applications folder.

How can I get to home screen from car dock menu when an app is running?

Just upgraded to the RAZR MAXX from a Droid 2 Global.
When the phone is mounted in the car dock and an app is running (Navi, Music, etc.), how can you get to the main home screen of the phone rather than the car dock menu?
Follow me......
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* If there are NO apps running, pressing the BACK key from within the Car Dock Menu takes you directly to the Home screen.
However.....
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* Navigation(or any app, for that matter) is running.
* Pressing MENU key takes me to Car Dock Menu.
* There's no exit option available to exit from car dock menu.
* Pressing BACK key takes you back to the app that's running, not the home screen.
* Long press of HOME key only takes you to an app list screen, not home screen.
* Only way to get to home screen is to repeatedly press the BACK button exiting out of the Car Dock Menu and cancelling all apps that are currently running.
On my Droid 2, I was able to quickly exit the Car Dock Menu simply by pressing the BACK or exit button, regardless of which or how many apps were running. They would still run in the background, showing on the status bar.
Anyone know of a work around? I couldn't find any settings to change within the Car Dock menu to change this. Stopped by three Verizon stores and they all say we have to be missing something, as they couldn't figure it out either. One rep told me it was a new "nanny" feature so that you couldn't access your apps while driving, however when I pointed out that you could access the home screen if no apps were running, he wasn't sure what to say.
Any help?

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.
