How do I remove icons from my desktop.  I want them only in the launchpad.

I have a couple of icons...or shortcuts...on my desktop that I want to remove.  When I remove the icon to the trash, the program won't open until I take it back out of the trash.  I want to have it in the Launchpad, not on the desktop.  How do I do this?

You can't have apps only in Launchpad, because they have to be stored somewhere. If you have them in Desktop, what you can do is to move them to Applications folder, so you won't see them in Desktop

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

    If you want to remove an app, press and hold on any app until they 'wiggle'. You will see a small 'x' by each one you can remove. Tap the 'x' and it will be removed. When done, press the home key.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • HT4847 How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all together.

    How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all togther.

    I'm assuming you mean photo stream, since photos are not stored in icloud except for backups IF photos are set to be included in backups - and you can't remove photos from a backup after the fact.
    Photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device to another - it is not designed to store photos long term (photo steam only keeps the photos for 30 days and only up to 1000 of them).
    When photos are downloaded to a computer (always sync photos from an iOS device to a computer for archiving one way or another, photo stream is one such way), you should always move photos from the photo stream folder/album to a permanent location.  Once moved, you can then delete them from the stream.

  • How can i remove icons from toolbar

    what is best way to remove icons from tool bar?

    On any mac application you should be able to right click (or control-click) on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar... This will enable you to drag icons off the toolbar or onto the toolbar.
    If you are referring to the Menu bar icons (in the upper right of the screen) then just press Command and then click and drag the icons off the menu bar to remove them.

  • How can I remove icons from the desktop on my iPad Mini?

    I understand that there are apps on my iPad that I cannot delete, but is there a way of removing an icon from the desktop?

    Remove, but not uninstall from the device?  Where would they go if you did that?
    Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
    There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
    Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps. 

  • MALWARE! How do I remove "SEARCHBENNY" from my desktop?

    Malware got installed when I tried to download free clip art. (Bad idea)  I have found instructions online for removal, but the second step, after "restarting holding the shift key" requires trashing the icon.
    Problem. 
    It won't stay in the trash.  How do I get this thing off my Mac?
    Also, the link to Apple support to reset Safari takes me nowhere.
    Instructions found online:
    ~~~~~~~~
    Rather than "mymac", tell the OS version. Imagine "mypc" but no mention of the Windows version. My answer is for OS 10.9.5.
    Try all of these steps....
    – Restart while holding the shift key for 45 seconds. Log in.
    – Look in Applications directory for "Reset Search" and /or "InstallMac". Trash both. Empty the trash.
    – Reset Safari: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17186
    – Open "Activity Monitor" and select the "Process Name" column to make the list alphabetical.
    – Select "InstallerT" process if it is running) and click "Quit Process", and then "Force Quit".
    – In a Finder window, type "InstallerT" in the search and select "Name matches InstallerT".
    – In the results, trash any file or folder with a name that includes "InstallerT", but not other folders in the pathway. Empty the trash.
    – Restart normally.
    After you solve this, AVOID ALL GRAB-BAG WEBSITES, such as Softonic, Softpedia, Soft32, download-for-mac, and CNET. They do not police their downloads well, so lots of adware gets submitted that is hidden inside the download. For example, if you want Skype, start at Skype.com, and be observant, so if a link takes you away from Skype.com, don't download from that site.
    There are only two guaranteed safe places to download a Mac app: from the app developer's own website and from the App Store on the Doc.

  • X6: How do I remove icons from my screen?

    Hey all,
    I've just purchased an X6 and for some reason the 'add contact' icon appeared on my screen.
    How do I remove it?
    thanks.

    Its for the contacts bar on the screen.
    If you would look at the picture, you will see the contacts on a scrollable bar on the front. 
    If you do not want this, you need to go to Menu>Settings>Personal>Homescreen>Homescreen Theme and select Shortcut bar to give you a different homescreen without contacts like this:
    One advantage of this homescreen is the ability to have the to-do list on it.

  • How can I remove icons from the menu bar?

    Help tells me to hold down the command key and drag the icon off the bar. But all that happens is that a dropdown menu appears which lists various actions which can be performed by the application. None of the actions listed include deleting the icon. When I try to drag the icon (still holding the command key down) it does not move at all.
    I am running OS X 10.7.4.

    Do you mean the screen's menubar or the Finder's toolbar? Would you take a screen snapshot of what you are trying to remove? Some menubar icons are generated by the application and cannot be dragged out. Instead you have to quit the application that installs the item. I suspect this applies in your case.

  • How Do I Remove Icons From Safari, Without Deleting My Bookmarks ?

    Since the iOS 7 iPad update Safari on my iPad 3 has changed.....and I personally don't like it.
    I'm hoping someone can help with this question, as I have searched Apple and Google for the answer.
    When I open a Safari page I am greeted by an entire page full of pesky little icons.
    Each icon represents one of my many bookmarks.
    I don't want a page full of icons, I prefer to click the Bookmark icon which is at the top right hand corner of Safari page.
    After much searching online it would seem that I can only see one answer.......which says go to the top right and delete the bookmarks, then the icon disappears.
    The icon does vanish......but also so does the bookmark vanish from the top right menu.
    I don't want to lose my bookmark from the top right menu, I just want to have a page without 20 icons on it !
    This must be possible....?
    I would be very grateful if someone would just take a few minutes to post the solution to this annoying issue please, thanks.

    The Bookmark icon is on the left not the right.
    You're tapping @ on the right which displays the icons.
    Tap the Bookmarks icon on the left.
