How do i remove window icons on my macbook air desktop?

How do I remove window icons on my macbook air desktop? (specifically when you use the 4 finger scroll to see all the windows you have open...)

Ok thanks. Actually I figured it out. I was trying to remove the icons (windows) I had open when you use 4 fingers to see all the desktops and windows you have open. I just had to click on the window then press esc, then X and it deleted it. Thanks anyways

HT3986 How do I download Windows 7 to my Macbook Air?

I need to download Windows 7 to my MacBook Air and was wondering where I would find a version that could be downloaded via the Internet.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Before the Windows 8 release, Windows 7 was available in the Microsoft Store as a download and you could get it there. Unfortunately, now it's not being sold anymore as a download, so you have to buy Windows 7 on a DVD in Amazon or eBay, and use an external optical drive to install Windows on the MacBook Air

How can I remove Windows XP from my MacBook Pro?

I've tried everything I can find to get rid of Windows XP on my MacBook Pro. I have OS X 10.5.8 and, unlike later versions, BootCamp Assistant 2.0 doesn't allow the option to restore the disk. And I can't find an update to BootCamp anywhere that will work. Seems I need Snow Leopard to upgrade to 3.0.

Boot Camp has an option to remove the Windows partition provided you made the partition with Boot Camp and did not later modify it or create a third-partition on the drive.
This may work:
Open Disk Utility, select your drive in the sidebar, then click on the Partition button in the DU main window. Select the Windows partition by clicking in the Windows rectangle of the partitions display. Click on the Delete [-] button to remove the partition then click on the Apply button. Wait for DU to either complete the operation or error out. If DU removes the partition then click on the partition sizing gadget (lower right hand corner) on the main partition and drag all the way to the bottom to fill the gray space left from removing the Windows partition. Click on the Apply button and wait until the operation is completed.
If you get errors at either of the two procedures then that means the drive's RDB has been damaged or altered. In this case backup the drive, boot from the backup, erase the drive, then restore the backup.

How can I install Windows 7 on my Macbook air

I recent purchased a Macbook air mid-2011 and I want to install a copy of Windows 7 by Boot Camp. But I did not know why I cannot reboot the Windows after the distribution completed (I had a Sumsung mobile DVD-ROM which works well when I use it to install apps). With my old Macbook 2010, of course, which had a DVD-ROM inside, it will automatically reboot into Windows installation . According to the Boot Camp, the 1st step is to make a ISO-image of Windows 7. However, I did not know how to do it. Please help me.
Thanks!

As this is not a Macbook Air specific question, and is entirely a Bootcamp usage query, the best place to post this is in the BootCamp forum of this community.

How do you remove a cd from the macbook air superdrive when it won't eject. all is get is the option to burn a cd when i click eject

Just bought a mini and a dvd superdrive. was uploading pictures and one cd won't eject when I click on the eject icon. It will display that I can burn one if I insert a cd, but won't eject the current cd. How do you override the pop up or manually eject the cd from the superdrive without taking it to a store or asking for a replacement?

You can also eject a disc by restarting your computer and holding down the primary mouse button while the computer is starting up until the disc is ejected.

How do i install windows 8 on my macbook air

and erase osx
i lke the perfrom of windows 8
how would i do this

It sounds like you have no interest in using the MacOS and prefer to use WIndows 8. If that's correct you'll need to run BootCamp (it is in the Utilities folder) and create the largest possible partition for Windows. You do not want to erase OS X because you'll need it to update BootCamp and Apple's drivers. Since Apple uses some proprietary components (including the trackpad) you can get these drivers only from Apple and only thru BootCamp.
Once you've run BootCamp look at the instructions for installing Windows. It is quite straightforward.

How do I remove annoying popups on my MacBook Air?

Whenever I open Firefox and begin opening windows and just in general, go on the internet, annoying/suspicious adware popups appear. Usually it is the same one that comes in a blinking box and says you got a prize, open! (something annoying like that). My Mac has Adblock Lite on, and in my computers system preferences I put on the Firewall. Why do I seem to get all these annoying ads and what do I do to remove them? I don't trust anything I search for online. Please help. Thank you!

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!

How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac 10.9.5.? Dragging doesn't work although I have tried a number of different places. I recall right clicking used to give me a remove option.

How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac Maverick, 10.9.5? I've tried dragging different places: desktop, finder list etc. No luck.

Drag up towards the centre of the screen & hold for a second or so. The icon will have the 'smoke cloud' appear, let go & it will be removed.
There should also be a 'Remove from Dock' option in the popup menu. It is in the 'Options' section . ctrl+click will 'right click' if right clicking is disabled.
If this is not possible the Dock is locked (this may happen on a 'Managed Mac' normally setup by a company or school etc). See your tech support in this case.
