How do i remove a program from finder?

how do i remove a program from system preferences?

Drag it to the trash & empty.  If that is not the answer you are looking for, you need to clarify your problem & "remove."  Where is the program in the Finder?  On your desktop?  Finder menu bar?  Dock? 
Care to share which OS you are using?

  • So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.

  • How do I remove firefox program from my computer

    i am cleaning up my space on my computer and I want to remove this program, i never use it

    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders /
    installers will trick you into installing not only their program,
    '''''but other programs as well'''''.
    You have heard of the '''''fine print in shady contracts''''', right?
    Well, some installers you need to look at the '''''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using
    the '''''recommended''''' option. But if you use the '''''Manual Option Instead''''',
    you discover all kinds of stuff that '''''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''''.
    From now on, everyone needs to '''''Use The Manual Option''''' to put a stop to this.

    Hello,
    I just do not want to use the mail program.  I go directly to my email account.  Mail always pops up when I try to email something off of the internet.  Do not want to use that program.  It is not working.
    Thank you

    Hi Judy, one silly thing abiut it, is you have to setup Mail, even with a fake account to get to Mail>Preferences to select your default app for Mail!???
    Though I dislike Mail.App myself, it's a lot easier than WebMail n a Browser though... maybe we could help you set it up for a try... since you need to anyway to change the default Mail App?

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • How do i remove a device from my apple id on find my phone app with out erasing the device.

    How do I remove a device from my apple id on the find my phone app with out erasing it becase it still belongs to my child?  I need to remove a iPad mini and a iPod 4th gen.
    Thanks

    If you haven't already, do Settings > iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone.  You will have to supply your Apple ID and password.
    Then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to make the iPhone appear as if it just came out of the box.

  • How to remove a program from mac laptop

    how to remove a program from my macbook pro 10.6.8

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    What application do you want to uninstall?
    On Mac, most of the applications are uninstalled just dragging them to the Trash. If an application comes with an uninstaller, use it instead to uninstall that application.
    Also, never use a cleaning app to uninstall an application. They can damage OS X, so the only option will be reinstall the operating system

  • How do you remove an object from a picture.  Newbie to program CS6

    how do you remove an object from a picture.  Newbie to program CS6

    Well, generally you can use the clone-stamp tool for one, shortcut is S. It basically allows you to take data from any part of the image and copy that over. What I do is draw on a new layer above the one to modify- make sure you select Sample:"This layer and below" in the top toolbar when doing so. Other ways include blending something on top of the object too, using different blending modes. Painting over it works too at times (rarely). It'd be easier if we knew a specific case though...

  • How can I remove Snow leopard from my Mac, it crash all important programs

    Please tell me how I can remove Snow Leopard from my machine & revert back to Leopard 10.5.8
    Since I loaded Snow leopard, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark & Mail all quit over & over again. I never had ANY of these issues before loading snow leopard. I rely daily on the programs I listed. I am not saying once in a while, but constantly; opening the programs, exporting, placing graphics, emailing, you name it, it quits the program I am in. I keep sending apple the crash reports, but I am afraid I have reached my end. (Apple must have a folder fu;l of crashes with my email address in it by now.)
    To maintain my sanity PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this without risking loosing any of my data.
    I do have time machine hooked up.
    Please be a life saver (sanity saver) and tell me how to get Snow Leopard off my machine!!!!!

    First, Welcome to the Discussions,
    Second, there is no way to successfully degrade an OS to a previous version. You would have to install anew a previous OS, thereby erasing all your data. Then you would take that version up as far as you want to go.
    Of course if you've been using Time Machine you can recover to the prior system and retain your files using that.
    Best of all would be to have a firewire external drive and use an app like this to make a clone on. No worries then if one wants to go back before any major changes very precisely.

    basically i forgot my password. it said "turn off find my ipod"
    i removed my device from find my iphone but it still won't let me restore. How do I fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How can you get the unknown  previous owners on iPhone 5 Apple ID account be removed old device from Find iPhone ?

    After recent update 7.0.3 iPhone 5 started activation after I put in sim and did not accept sim bc of Apple ID of previous owner was still on the iPhone and can't activate it without the previous owner removing the account from find my iPhone .

    No, you first use common sense then you put it in a company IT policy document. So you are saying that you cannot create an Apple ID for each individual, because it is a hassle? So I guess it is also a hassle to create company email accounts because there are many people "coming and going"?
    Have the IT department create an Apple ID for each user with a "temporary" password. Then the user can change it. Once the emplyee leaves, he turns in his phone and gives the password to IT so they can deactivate his Activation lock and reset the phone. Or do what razmee209 has suggested.
    I guess the above might be a problem in your company where it is apparent that people are getting run over by buses all of the time and dying every hour.

  • How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

    On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
    I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
    In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
    Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
    Thanks!
