How do i remove stuff out of lauchpad?

so i tried to remove my "Macintosh HD" icon out of my desktop, i couldn't, so i dragged the 'Macintosh HD" icon in to the 'Launchpad" icon. I thought it would work, but it didn't. So now i have a bunch of stuff like "Embed", "AddPrinter", "Software Update" etc.. on my Lauchpad. I tried to remove them by holding the app down but it doesn't show the "x" to remove the application

Click on the icon you want to remove and hold it until you see the icons start shaking. Once they are shaking you will see the x to delete the icon. You cannot delete all icons though.
You can also download this free app to have complete control over the launchpad: https://chaosspace.de/launchpad-control

    How do I remove stuff from my startup disk?

    GrandPerspective is a nice app that shows a graphic representation of what's on your disk, so you can get an idea of what is taking up too much space.GrandPerspective
    Don't buy CleanMyMac or any other dreck that offers to "clean" your Mac for you. Worst software ever.
    If there are apps in your Applications folder you don't need any more, drag them to the trash and empty the trash.
    In general, it is media files, like music, photos, and especially video that is taking up a lot of space. You can move your iTunes library, iPhoto Library, and iMovie video to an external drive.

    it's a good idea to have a backup before you start moving things.

  • How can I remove greyed out copies of purchased songs on iPhone

    I have tried everything to try to remove these from my phone and I can't seem to get them to go away. Only certain songs do this. They don't show up in the music on my phone, they just seem to take up space and really bother me, and I would really like to know how to get rid of them. Thanks.

    I just bought the new Kid Cudi album and it shows up like this now in my iPhone on iTunes. The extra greyed out copy doesn't go on my phone, it just takes up space on my phone and gets in the way on the computer. I really would like to know how to fix this.

  • Remove c:out tag

    Hello
    I am using tomcat 5.0
    In my jsp file, I have to type like this
    Name: <c:out value="${myVariable}"/>I know that I can have something like
    Name: ${myVariable}In the top of jsp, I have
    <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>How I can remove <c:out ...... />
    Thanks

    Well you open the file in your favorite editor, find the line with the <c:out> you don't want, highlight the first part of it (up to the ${, and hit the key labelled "delete", then highlight the tail part of it,  (from } to the end) and press delete again.
    Or you could use a tool to do a global search and replace.
    But seriously - why do it? What does it hurt? What could it break?
    The <c:out> tag escapes html characters for you, so you ARE changing the functionality of the application by doing this.
    Actually taking a closer look, you are using JSTL1.0 (from the URI)
    If you have a JSP2.0 compatible container (eg Tomcat 5 + ) you should just upgrade to JSTL1.1
    - replace standard.jar and jstl.jar
    - change your import line to <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> (note the subtle addition of /jsp)
    - upgrade the declaration in web.xml to register that it is 2.4, rather than 2.3 (using the new xml schema syntax)
    Cheers,

  • I was trying to update my iphone software then it started to remove stuff, and it said it would restore since lat backup which was last year. Is my photos and contacts removed since then?

    I was trying to update my iphone software then there was an error and it started to remove stuff out of my phone. it said it would restore since my last backup which was last year. I dont care about my apps or music. Are my photos and contacts removed since my last backup?

    Did you fail to create a backup of the device prior to attempting to update?
    Why did you choose to update iOS without first ensuring there was a backup and that all of your media and pictures were on the computer the device normally syncs with?  Sorry, but that was beyond not smart.
    If you've lost media, pictures, contacts, etc, there is nothing that can be done without a current backup to restore from.  Hopefully you have learned an important lesson.

  • How do I remove things Fromm iCloud which I no longer want

    How do I remove stuff from iCloud which I no longer want and or need any more?

    Stuff like what?
    iCloud syncs contacts, calendars, tasks, reminders, bookmarks etc from your computer - so if you remove those items from your computer, they will no longer appear on iCloud.

    1.)  How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
    2.)  How do I remove an album on my ipad?
    3.)  i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space.  I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer.  It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all &amp; start fresh.
    4.)  I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new &amp; competed album.  Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
    5.)  By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files &amp; web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access.  That is why I have so many photos.  But I want to be able to separate &amp; organized them by files, web screens, or topics.  I also want to be able to delete &amp; update as needed.
    6.)  If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space.  Will this help the space issue?  Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only &amp; only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly.  I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME!  I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack &amp; stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

    How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

    Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
    To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save.

    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 can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

    Ok you can reset the stream from www.icloud.com
    Goto www.icloud.com
    Login with your iCould username and password.
    and login
    Then click on your name in the top right hand side of the screen next to sign out,
    it opens a window Account details with Language, Time Zone, Advanced
    Select Advanced - Then click Reset Photo Stream. and confirm, the stream will be reset and totally deleted
    I still think you should be able to remove individual pictures though, a blured image etc is a problem

    how can i remove the end pice/pin of my headphones out of my computer?

    IF you cannot pull it out with your finger tips, you need to take the machine in for service to an Apple Store or AASP. Doing this type of work yourself could seriously damage the computer so it's best left to professionals.

  • How do I remove the tempature readings on my calendar? They fill up each day crowding out the view of scheduled events for the most part.

    How do I remove the tempature readings on my calendar? They fill up each day crowding out the view of scheduled events for the most part.
    Thank you
    Terry

    Disable or remoce the Calendar, that is creating these events, Terry.
    To find out, which calendar is creating these events, ctrl-click on one of the events and select "Get Info".
    In the Info panel click the color icon in the upper right corner to find out the calendar, that created this event.
    Then reveal the "Calendars" Sidebar (press the "Calendars" button in the toolbar) and select the Calendar, ctrl-click it and delete the calendar or disable it.
