How do I delete duplicate icons from the dock of an Imac 8.1?

No dragging to trash doesn't work. Just keep dragging them off. If they are stacked, which shouldn't happen, then when you delete one the other is still there.
Just how did you get duplicates? Did you put them there? If not then you have other problems and I'm not sure how to correct it.

  • How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac 10.9.5.?  Dragging doesn't work although I have tried a number of different places.  I recall right clicking used to give me a remove option.

    How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac Maverick, 10.9.5?  I've tried dragging different places: desktop, finder list etc.  No luck.

    Drag up towards the centre of the screen & hold for a second or so. The icon will have the 'smoke cloud' appear, let go & it will be removed.
    There should also be a 'Remove from Dock' option in the popup menu. It is in the 'Options' section . ctrl+click will 'right click' if right clicking is disabled.
    If this is not possible the Dock is locked (this may happen on a 'Managed Mac' normally setup by a company or school etc). See your tech support in this case.

    If it's a running application, control-click it and choose Quit. If it remains in the Dock or that isn't applicable, drag it out.

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • How can I delete Duplicated icon from the dashboar

    Please can someone help me : How do I  delete duplicated icon from dashboard, like the  Safari Icon and System Preference, and remain witht only one of each, that keeps working?  Thank you

    Well, Aleksdev and Paul_31, you helped me a lot, , thank you so much.
    Let me tell what worked.
    I went to the dock and deleted the good Safari and System icons, then I draged the ones on the dashboard to the trash.
    Then I restarted,  and they were no more either on the dock nor on dashboard.
    To put the safari icon back to the dock, I had to go Applications and drag the Safari Icon back to the dock. It worked, but with the icon for System Preferences, it did nit work this way.
    But never mind the important is that Safari icon stays always at the dock .
    So, one more time, guys thank you so much for the help.
    Maybe I'll be asking some more questions in the future, if you don't mind. I'm not an I-MAC specialist. I'm new on Apple world.
    Best regards!

  • How do we delete an icon from the front of the pod touch

    I have icons filled on my iPOD touch and want to delete a couple of them How do I do this

    You do realize that you have multiple screens on which to place apps (along with their icons) don't you? To do so, touch & hold an icon until they all start to wiggle. You can then touch and drag the icon/app that you want to move to the right edge of the screen. The screen will slide to a new empty screen which you can now release/drop the icon onto. To simply delete the icon/app, touch & hold the icons until they wiggle, then click the x on the desired icon/app to delete it. To return the touch to standard operation, press the home button.

  • How do I delete an Icon from my desk top from Print Shop? It has the name rTmpFile4.

    How do I delete an Icon from my desktop from Print Shop? It has the name: rTempFile4.

    Open iTunes on your iMac.
    In the lefthand column of the iTunes window that opens, under Library, click on Apps.  A window will open that will show all the Apps you've downloaded.  If you downloaded the App via the iPad, you will have needed to sync the iPad and the iMac previously for the App to be listed. (I think)
    Click on the App you want to delete, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.  A window will open asking you to confirm that you want to delete the app.  Click the confirm button.
    Good luck.

    How do you delete unwanted pictures from the photo library on the iPhone 4s? The ones in the Daisy icon...

    Pictures in Photo Library are synced from your computer and must be deleted from there, followed by re-sync.  Photos in Camera Roll can be deleted from your iPhone directly (tap arrow in top right, tap the pictures you want to delete, press the Delete button).

  • Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

  • How can I delete tv shows from the iCloud on my Apple TV?

    I recently purchased Apple TV (3rd gen) and need to delete a tv show that appears there.  There's no trash can icon on the screen as some posts state--just an iCloud icon.  How do I delete an item from the iCloud so it will no longer appear on the Apple TV?

    You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
    In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
    Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
    If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.

  • How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar

    How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar?  This app is redundant and not necessary in Mavericks.  I have uninstalled but I cannot drag the icon off the toolbar.

    I am sorry CT, it is the menu bar and on the right side at the top...
    Below is one of the suggestion I have found, but it doesn't work.
      OS X Mavericks: What’s in the menu bar?
    The right end of the menu bar contains “status menus,” which are represented by icons.
    These menus show the status of your Mac or give you quick access to certain features—for example, you can quickly turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Bluetooth, or mute your computer’s volume.
    You can add some icons to the right end of the menu bar. For example, you can show a volume slider in the menu bar by selecting a checkbox in the Sound pane of System Preferences. You can also add a status icon for some apps to the menu bar when you install the app.
    To rearrange the status menu icons, hold down the Command (⌘) key while dragging the icons. To remove an icon from the menu bar, hold down the Command key and drag the icon out of the menu bar.
