How do you remove a desktop icon with out deleting the whole program?

i downloaded software online and it went into my application folder but instead of just the program the whole folder did with manuals and everything, so i copyed that to the desk top and then put the just the program back into the application folder. Now how do i delete the other one off the desktop, with out deleting the program,

If you removed the application from the folder of other files, then deleting the folder has no effect on the application file. However, you might check that the application doesn't require any of the files in that folder before you remove it. Drag it to the Trash, but don't Empty the Trash until you're sure the application works without it.

  • How do you remove a desktop icon without deleteing it?

    cant get my icons on my desktop to go away

    The icons are usually files or disks. Move the files into a folder besides your Desktop folder. You could put them in "Documents" or "Movies", for example. Under the "Preferences" option under the Finder menu, you can uncheck the visibility of hard drives or CDs if you want.

  • 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...

  • HT1212 im trying to reset my ipod with out deleting the songs

    i want to reset my ipod and it is disabled with out deleting thee songs on there

    You can't. If you could then the Disabled would be a poor security feature
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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

    how do you remove a CD/DVD which is stuck in the disc slot?

    Try restarting, immediately press the mouse button (left button if it's a two-button mouse), keep it held down. That's a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.
    If that doesn't work, consider taking the machine in to an Apple Store or AASP for repair.

  • Mail, how can you remove an image that shows up in the header?

    I have no idea how this image got where it is, but I would like to remove it. When I open Mail, I see in the address area of the email as it displays in the message viewer, to the very right of that area, there is an image, that I have no idea how it got there or how to remove. The following is a link (I think) Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png ...... that shows what I am talking about. I have gone through my signatures and made sure that image isn't in there and it isn't. Please help, it is driving my husband nuts, we would love to change the image to his company logo if possible, but we don't know if that image even shows up when others receive email from us or not (we email ourselves and it is right there in the address header of the email). Thank you for your time and help.
    Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png

    Typically what shows up there is the address book picture for that contact. If they attach an image it will be added to the address book.
    So go to the contact in address book and change or delete the image.

  • How do you remove Firefox from computer, will not delete from "Add/delete hardware"

    Have tried to remove firefox from computer. Tried "add/remove harware, programs" from control panel, won't do anything keeps popping back up. Several months ago firefox crashed and computer would not let me log on to the internet. Went back to internet explorer works great. But now I can't seem to get rid of firefox from my computer. My internet carrier (cox.net) say that firefox is not compatible with their internet system. How can I remove firefox from control panel, is taking up space in my computer?

    Try Programs or Programs and Features, Firefox is software not hardware.
    Look in there for Mozilla Firefox not Firefox.
