Getting rid of modem icon in MacBook toolbar

Just moved all my stuff from my old 15" PB G4 to my new MacBook 2.0GHz Core Duo.
When it transfered everything, it placed the PB G4 modem icon in my toolbar (I was using a Speedtouch modem for my new 16Mb connection at home). Now I can't get rid of it, as the MacBook has no internal modem in System Prefs where I can turn it off.
Any ideas? Yeah I know, it's not the most important thing. But it's just sitting there, bugging me.
Cheers in advance.

Hold the command key down and you will be able to drag any item on the right side in the menu bar out or to another position.

  • Can't get rid of ISIToolBox icons from the toolbar...

    ...every time I open a pdf, these icons are in the toolbar, taking up real estate.  I can uncheck them from the toolbar menu and get rid of them.  But who wants to do 4 extra mouse clicks every one of the tens of times they open a document each day?  Any ideas for permanently getting rid of these?

    Uninstalling would certainly get it done.  But what if I want to use it?  Reinstall?
    There's already a pull-down menu (along with File, Edit, View, etc) for the ISI tools.  Why does it have to be so damn invasive?  Why can't I just ask it not to automatically put the icons in my toolbar?

  • How to get rid of modem icon on the menu bar?

    Migration Assistant was very helpful transfering all my relevant settings from PowerBook to a new PowerMac but it also placed a modem icon on the menu bar. Trouble is I do not have a dial-up modem and would like to remove the icon now. Does anyone now how to do it? Clicking and control-clicking the icon only brings out a short pull-down menu with no option to remove the icon. Nor could I find anything in Network Preferences.
    Thank you.

    If it's like other menu bar icons, you can Command-drag it off of the menu bar (or to change its position).
    The actual switch for modem icon display is in Network Preferences, Internal Modem network interface, Modem tab.

  • How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

    I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

    If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks.<br />
    If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css<br />
    That is what I would do.
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

  • How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    A
    It may not be malware, a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    B
    If the above step doesn't solve the problem, you may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Is there a better way to get rid of desktop icons?

    My project has two things left: 1. get rid of desktop icons during the script 2. Ensure that windows don't open during the script.
    so for part one, I have the following:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool " & false
    the problem is I can't change the desktop background picture when I use the above script. Without it, I can but I have icons.
    The second issue is how I set up a handler in the event that windows open during the script, blocking the desktop-image message. I want to close all windows and keep them closed during the script. Here is what I have so far, but it doesn't work:
    on exists windows of processes where the visible is true
    tell application "Finder"
    set willey to get (windows where the (exists) is true) of processes where the visible is true
    set the exists of willey to false
    end tell
    end exists
    PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Even if you manage to change the static desktop picture, you're going to have to find a way to disable the dynamic desktop picture that many users will have activated. This "Change picture" feature is controlled by Dock.app, not Finder. If you quit or kill the Dock, the system automatically respawns it ad infinitum. The only way around that is to temporarily move or rename dock.app, which requires administrator privileges. I'm not particularly inclined to offer my password to prank apps, are you?
    If I were you I'd take a look at Salling Clicker. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out: In the Salling distro there is a neat freeware FBA called "SEC Helper" that lets you post Growl-like notices to the user, without the hassle of relying on a Growl install. It has a full-screen option that you can set up just like a slideshow.
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "SEC Helper"
    "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Plants/Petals.jpg"
    show screen picture data (read (POSIX file result as alias) as picture) with full screen
    end tell</pre>

  • Disabled Yahoo icon. How do I get rid of the icon without hiding it?

    Okay so on my previous BB I had my work and Yahoo e-mail set up.  Later I disabled the Yahoo e-mail and I remember then it was tough to figure out how to do that and delete the icon.  I figured it out though.
    Now I synced to my new 8900 and the Yahoo icon is there again.  It's not receiving or sending e-mail which is fine, but how do I get rid of the icon without having to hide it?  I want it gone forever!
    Thanks!

  • Urgent help......can't get rid of adobe icon....

    Hello,
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
    In my utilities, i discover this
    There's that Adobe Flash Player Install Manager..........when i click this icon, it's asking
    me for my password.......which I straightaway click the cancel button, as from the news
    today, I know that's a malware. No installations made whatsoever.
    But I can never get rid of that icon above completely from the utilities, when i try to trash it,
    this comes up -
    What to do now? I'm afraid if i keyed in name and password, the opposite might
    happen.....as I don't want to install this adobe flash player......any solutions to my problem?
    Appreciate all the replies, thanks.

    If I click on the icon itself......this will come up
    When I click uninstall, also, same thing asking for password...... if i do so,
    I know I'm done....... when i click quit, it'll just close the window....
    Just couldn't figure out how to completely erase it out of my Mac 10.5.8 system....

  • Can't get rid of carbonite icon from menubar

    Got rid of carbonite and it no longer appears in my system preferences. However it is still in my menubar at the top right and it has an x through it. How do I get rid of that? Any help appreciated.

    When I couldn't find a Carbonite folder in Applications (I had previously trashed it) I Googled how to get rid
    of Carbonite icon and found a way to find the hidden Carbonite folder.
    I had to:  1/ Control click on Finder on the dock and select ‘Go to Folder’.
                   2/ Typed /Library/Application Support/ into the window that appears.
                   3/ There was the Carbonite folder with 4 documents in it.
    I moved the whole folder into AppZapper free demo application, and BOOM icon's gone.  I had to restart to see the icon was actually gone.  AppZapper is pretty cool too.

  • Can't get rid of an icon on my desktop

    I am unable to get rid of an icon on my iMac desktop. I am running OS X 10.2.8. It is a Word document. Every time I try to trash it, I get the following response:
    The item “X.doc” is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash.)
    Try again when the task is complete.
    Well, the task (whatever it is) never seems to be complete. How do I get rid of this sucker?

  • How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west)

    How do I get rid of navigation icon (north, south east west) Comes on automatically since I use the bamboo tablet.
    thank you
    Amelia

    Not sure, but that might be the Rotate View Tool. However, that should only show up when the tool is actively being used (not just when it is selected). It could have something to do with multi-touch capabilities that the table may have (two finger rotation should allow the canvas to rotate), but that also shouldn't cause the compass to appear.
    A screen shot would help verify what you are seeing.

  • How to get rid of white icons on ipod touch 4th generation

    How do you get rid of white icons on the ipod touch 4th generation.  I tried resetting it already.
    Thanks,

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How to get rid of folder icon for multiple bookmarks showing in bookmark toolbar - takes up space

    Firefox 4 added a folder icon to any bookmark that had multiple bookmarks. The arrow was enough from previous version - now the number of bookmarks shown across the top - single OR ones that pulled down to show the multiple ones in it - is cut in half. How to you get rid of these stupid little folder icons?!!!!!!! Not only do they have this new icon, but they still have the side arrow.

    So, I see that 28 other people have responded that they have this same problem. Isn't SOMEONE associated with FireFox going to address this?

  • How do I get rid of Norton Icons in my system preferences?

    I'm having problems getting rid of Norton on my new MacBook Pro. I foolishly transferred applications from my old G4 with Migration assistant and it transferred my old Norton Internet Security which dates from 2003-2004. I deleted everything I could find, but my computer is still running slow and I get messages when I boot up that the various Norton programs can't open and I should reintall them. The Symantec uninstaller tool can't find any Norton applications on my computer and when I search the hard drive for Norton or Symantec I find nothing. Still, there are two icons on my System Preferences panel, and I'm wondering if I manage to remove these, it will get rid of the last wisps of Norton. Any ideas?

    Since it is a new machine, if I were you, I would do a full "Erase and Install" and start over.
    BTW, you should really be in a 10.5 or MacBook Pro forum.
    Good Luck.
