How do I get rid of an icon with the "?" over if after deleting the application?

Greetings,
My iMac originally came with TechTool Deluxe as a freebie.
Since upgrading to the 10.8.3 I don't want to use it anymore.
It tells me TechTool Deluxe has not been tested on any OS version later than 10.7.
Clicking the Launchpad icon showed the icon for it.
I dragged it to the trash, but, the icon won't go away.
There are no TechTool Deluxe folders under the Applications folder.
I did find the folder where I kept the updater so I deleted that as well.
What do I need to do in order for this icon with the "?" over it to go away?
Thanks.

In order to delete this app from Launchpad, first open Launchpad and hold the Option (Alt) key. Then, you will see the X button above the TechTool app, so press it and it will be deleted from Launchpad

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

    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.

    Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    "Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should normally be about 1 GB.  Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
    Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes.  Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.

  • How do I get rid of "Server responded with an error"?

    How do I get rid of "Server responded with an error" in Calendar?  Calendar is frozen and Calendar menu will not allow preferences or quit.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
    Step 1
    From the Calendar menu bar, select
    Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Then check the box again. Test.
    Step 2
    Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
    Step 3
    If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
    Step 4
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache  
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • Messages icon indicates that there is an unopened message but when i go into it the message is blank and no option to delete it. Any ideas how i can get rid of this and stop it from opening up in the blank message each time i open my messages?

    The message icon on my iphone indicates that there is an unopened text message, but when i go into it, it just opens up a blank message, and there is no option to delete it. Any suggestions how i can get rid of this message, and prevent my phone from always opening up in the blank message whenever i go into my messages, rather than just opening as my inbox?
    Many thanks

    Hard restart..  While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button.   Hold them down and keep them held down.  the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen.  keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release.  This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process.  If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off.  Good luck

    Do you mean the icon in the middle that you see when  you adjust the volume? Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, until you see the silver apple and it reboots and see if that helps

    To stop the messages in iPhoto open the iPhoto preferences and remove all references to MM. Do the same in the system preferences

  • How do you get rid of yellow triangular with ! in middle that appear against some of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar?

    I have yellow triangles next to some of my icons in my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. They have an exclamation mafrk in them. It probably happens when there is difficulty connecting to them. But they hang around. How do you get rid of them even when the bookmark works fine? I have FF 4.0 on a Snow Leopard Mac.

    This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

    I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

    your link gave me a good starting place...
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
    this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
    thanks.
