How do I remove the hidden file icons from the Finder folder?
I recently had problems with Final Cut Pro and had to remove QuicktimeX and use Pacifist to re-install QuicktimeX back into the Applications folder.
I now have "hidden icons" that are lightly grayed out in the Finder folder. I was told by the Apple Genious leave them alone until you know the correct way of removing them from the folders because they play an important role in the system folder.
Can someone advise me on how to make them go away again?
LOL! Sorry Niel, I 'm just a beginner when it comes to more the double clicking on the Mac. I just had to laugh at myself after reading your response. I should have been in a Three Stooges movie....
Thank you, it worked and I saved it just in case one of my friends have the same problem. I will fix it for them then claim to be a Mac Genius.

How do I remove "All My Files" icons from the toolbar?
Good Afternoon:
I have A shiny new 15" MBPro that came preinstalled with Lion that I have updated to 10.7.1.
If I open a finder window, there are two "All My Files" icons on either side of the toolbar. I asked a Genius about it and they said they had never seen that. I can remove "All My Files" from the list of Favorites on the left easily enough. I can open up the window to customize the ToolBar, but in that window there are no "All My Files" icons available to add or delete.
How do I remove the "All My Files" icons from the toolbar?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Below is a screenshot of the problem.Sort of surprised they didn't know. I'm lost as to why that even appeared on your computer unless you had put them there yourself which, clearly, you didn't if it was brand new out of the box.
Glad it's sorted out. -

How do I remove the Adobe updater icon from the menu bar?
How can I remove the Adobe Updater icon from the menu bar? It's pixelated and looks broken. Any help is appreciated.
I found this thread, but it doesn't work. When I click on the Updater icon, then click "Open updater," it opens the Creative Cloud instead. I haven't found a way to remove the updater icon from within Creative cloud.

Hope that helps anyone! -
Cannot find the downloads file icon in the dock
How do I get the downloads file icon into the dock? I can only access it by going into the Finder.
Drag the Downloads folder back to it's spot next to the Trash can and it will make a "alias" there again.

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?
How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ? I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...
Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

HT204266 How can I remove my credit card information from the app store?
How can I remove my credit card information from the app store? I would like to have an account without the credit card information.
I would like to put in my credit card only when I am ready to purchase.On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ? -
How can I remove apps no longer wanted from the cloud
How can I remove apps no longer wanted from the cloud? they are not used any more and taking up space.
Welcome to the Apple community Mickeymom.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer. -

How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?
I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below.
You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
The solution is as follows…
1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

HT1918 how can i remove my credit card details from the iphone
I fed my friends credit card details on my iPhone to purchase some apps, but whenever i am buying anything now on, the system does not prompt and the amount gets deducted from my friends account. Need to know how to remove the credit card details from the account.
From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two -
