OK thanks. Since you are certain you're not using it, merely drag the Cisco client app out of /System/Library/StartupItems/ directly to the Trash.
If you need help doing that, select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Open:
/System/Library/StartupItems/
A Finder window will open. Drag the CiscoVPN icon from there to the Trash. You will need to authenticate to make that change.
I am just relieved when nothing shows up in red.
As I understand it, the red text is merely an attention-getter. If it were up to me, which it is not, I wouldn't use red at all. Red text tends to evoke atavistic reactions in red-blooded people, resulting in concerns that are not usually warranted. It doesn't necessarily indicate anything is wrong or that you need to take any actions — as in your case: the Cisco client wasn't doing anything in there.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • How do I delete obsolete email addresses from the "to:" line. All of the addresses a person has had show up. I only want the correct one to be displayed.

    I would like to delete obsolete email addresses from appearing in the Address line of my outgoing email. My address book only has the current email address of each person. Why does the old addresses appear?

    Check Window > Previous Recipients for that user name and see if the old addresses are there. If they are delete them.

    You can delete items you do not want by placing them in trash and then emptying trash.

  • TS5181 How do I delete and start a new playlist? Why can't I add to my playlist?

    I have three devices, my computer "Windows", Ipad mini and my Iphone 4s.  I have tried to add songs that I bought from itunes to my playlist and they do not show up.  I make sure I sinc as well.  I ended up with three of the same playlist for my songs and now I can not delete two of them.  If anyone has any info on how to correct this I would appriciate it. Thanks

  • How do you delete more than one item from download folder at a time?

    I have been trying to clean out my downloads folder which has gotten too full.  Mostly audiobooks which are now in iTunes and photographs that I have received from family and friends.  I can drag them one at a time into the trash, but was hoping there is a faster way.  If not, I will do this slowly.  My understanding is that if the file is saved somewhere else, deleting it from the downloads folder doesn't delete it from my mac, right?
    Thanks,
    Laverne's Mom

    One more question, am I correct in assuming that if I delete something from the downloads folder, even an application I have downloaded (I have a program that converts photos to cross stitch patterns and I don't want to delete it) that the application will not be deleted from my computer?
    Laverne's Mom
    That is probably a correct assumption. However it's always a good idea to double check before trashing something. Let's use the App (that's what programs are called on Macs) for cross stitch patterns. Check the Applications folder and if you see the app there it's fine to trash it from your downloads folder. Even if you goof once it's in the trash  you can get it out of the trash assuming you haven't emptied the trash. Open the trash folder, right click the item and select Put Back. If you are not using Snow Leopard (10.6.x) then you can drag the item back to where it was originally.

  • How do I delete the first seven items that come standard at the top of my favorites list, so that all it includes is my personal favorites?

    My favorites list contains seven unwanted items at the top that I want to remove. I just want it to include the sites I've tagged. I would also like to know the keyboard shortcut that opens the list. I had previously used Alt C, but that doesn't seem to work.
    Thank you for your help,
    a happy new user

    You can only create new folders in one of the three root folders.
    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores the bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

  • How do I delete all calendar entries from iPhone 3G S

    My iPhone calendar is out of sync with Outlook (2007, connected to an Exchange server). There are appointments no longer in Outlook that are still on the iPhone, and appointments with the wrong time on the iPhone. SO I want to remove all the calendar entries from the iPhone and then redownload everything from Outlook.
    So how do I delete all the calendar items from the iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from Outlook or messing with my Outlook profile?

    Thanks, Allan. Actually, I prefer to sync my calendar via iTunes because I refresh Outlook and sync via iTunes much more frequently than I fire up VPN to get directly to exchange. But I did use your tip the other way - I turn ON Exchange Calendars to blow away my current iPhone content, then turned it back off to delete the Exchange content. That left me with an empty iPhone calendar that I could then load via iTunes sync.

  • How do you delete a download

    how do you delete a download

    Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page  (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button)  and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
    Regards.

  • How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

    I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
    Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
    Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
    However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
    How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?

  • How do I delete a tab group or stop it from opening all tabs eveytime I start firefox?

    I never set up a tab group but somehow I have one with three tabs in it and I have gone to the group and clicked on the X in the top right corner but it continues to open every tab in the group every time I open a browser. I don't want ANY of these opened, I don't even want a tab group, how do I delete this group thing and how do I make it stop opening these web pages?

    Thank-you for your response however, I have NO IDEA what you are talking about. I don't know how to check to see what Firefox is set at upon opening, I didn't change anything, when I click on the Firefox it opens three tabs, none of which are my home page, if I click on it again it will open just one, my home page but I can't get this tab group to go away. I never set any tab group and didn't even know they existed until I tried to open a browser and got the three open tabs, that is when I started looking at the help topics to see what the hell....
    So I ask again, how do I delete A tab group?
