How to delete su-elements in "System Preferences/Others"

I'm trying to delete a doubled element (done by mistake) inside an application located in "Other" within "System Preferences"
More precisely:
- I've "USB overdrive" app control on this location: "Other"
- By error, whoever it is, in "Status" window, there are two "USB Receiver" lines
How can I delete one of those?

In System Preferences, right-click on one of them and select Remove.
I'm not sure how that will affect the other. If two status menus are still there, cmd+drag one off the status menu area.

  • Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

    Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
    Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
    I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
    Any ideas?

    Doug,
    When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
    Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
    Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
    Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
    Any ideas? Thx, Mike

  • Problem,how do i get back my system preference? i think i delete it my mistake.

    problem,how do i get back my system preference? i think i delete it my mistake.

    did you delete it from your dock or did you delete it completely from the computer
    if it has just been removed from your dock all you have to do is go into your application folder and drag the system prefrences icon back to your dock .. if you are running an older version of osx go into finder click applications and find the icon for system prefrences there .. if you have snow lepord you can get the icon in the application folder on the right side of your dock
    if it has been deleted completely from the computer use the disks that came with your computer to reinstall it
    if your too nervous to do it yourself you can always make an appt with an apple store in your area at the genius bar and they can probably get it back for you

  • How do I get rid of System Preference panels that are incompatible?

    I need to delete 3 Leopard-incompatible System Preference panels. How do I get rid of them?
    (I am currently working on making a new clean install, but I'm using an update-from-Tiger installation until I get my applications and preferences setup on this).

    Thanks! I knew it had to be something easy; I just didn't try the right key-combination. For me, without Mighty Mouse, it's ctrl-click to equal a right click.

  • Removing mouse driver from system preferences, other...how?

    In system preferences, other, how do you uninstall items? I have read in this forum that if you right click and choose "remove (xxx) preference pane" it will uninstall it. If remove doesn't uninstall it, exactly what does it do?
    Is it that simple? I am trying to remove a mouse driver.
    thanks
    bob

    I'm afraid I don't follow you. Each component can be individually deleted. But as I said removing the preference pane (in any way) will not remove a driver located in the Extensions folder (if there's a driver involved.) Likewise removing a driver will not remove a preference pane. This is why you should use the uninstaller that comes with the software you are using (which you haven't mentioned.)
    For general help with uninstalling software see:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How to delete an  element in an array...(simple way)

    hi,
    Newbie here... please help how to delete an element in an array list?
    there are alot of codes but they're complicated for a newbie like me..
    (simple codes would be better ..:) thank you...

    just overrite the position of the element that need to be deleted with the next element in the array..
    by doing this, element need to be deleted will not be accessibe..
    i think u got..what i'm saying.
    thnx..Mak,
    Say we wish to delete the second element of an array a[1]. Do you really believe that a[1] = a[2] somehow magically deletes a[1]? I really don't think so Tim.
    Two eggs, minus 1, equals two eggs? Interesting theory, but I think you're probably wrong.
    *@OP:* My advise is just use an ArrayList.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • System Preferences Other

    Under system preferences > Other, I have two icons called Digidesign Mbox 2 and Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro. Can anyone tell me what these are and why I would have them in my system preferences?

    (New, Late 2009 iMac).
    I seriously doubt it! There have been three models of iMac since that one and that one has 3rd party software on it that has nothing to do with a new iMac and does not come preinstalled on a new iMac.

  • HOW TO DELETE DUPLICATE ELEMENT IN A VECTOR

    Hi everybody!
    If I've a vector like this vectA={apple,orange,grape,apple,apple,banana}
    and I want final result be vectB={apple,orange,grape,banana}.
    How should I compare each element in vectA and delete duplicate element. Like here duplicated element is apple. Only one apple remain in the vectB.
    Any help,
    Thanks.

    Hello all. Good question and good answers, but I would like to elaborate.
    To begin with, you specifically asked to map the following:
    {apple,orange,grape,apple,apple,banana} ==> {apple,orange,grape,banana}
    Both of cotton.m's solutions do NOT do this, unfortunately. They are both useful in particular cases though, so think about what you're trying to do:
    cotton.m's first solution is best if order does not matter. In fact, as flounder first stated, whenever order doesn't matter, your most efficient bet is to use a Set instead of a List (or Vector) anyways.
    Set vectB = new HashSet(vectA);This code maps to {banana, orange, grape, apple}, because HashSets are "randomly" ordered.
    cotton.m's second solution is good if you want to impose NEW ordering on the List.
    Set vectB = new TreeSet(vectA);This code maps to {apple, banana, grape, orange}, because TreeSet uses alphabetical-order on Strings by default.
    java_2006, your solution is the most correct, but it's a little verbose for my taste :)
    more importantly, the runtime-efficiency is pretty bad (n-squared). calling Vector.contains performs (at worst) n comparisons; you're going to call it n times! Set.contains usually performs 2 comparisons (constant, much better), so I suggest you USE a Set to do the filtering, while still sticking with your good idea to use a List. When the ordering is "arbitrary" (so can't use TreeSet) but still relevant (so can't use HashSet), you're basically talking about a List.
    I think saving A LOT of time is worth using A LITTLE extra space, so here, let's save ourself some runtime, and some carpal-tunnel.
    import java.util.*;
    class Foo {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              String[] fruits = {"apple","orange","grape","apple","apple","banana"};
              List     l = Arrays.asList(fruits),
                   m = filterDups(l);
              System.out.println(m);
         // remember, both of the following methods use O(n) space, but only O(n) time
         static List filterDups(List l) {
              List retVal = new ArrayList();
              Set s = new HashSet();
              for (Object o : l)
                   if (s.add(o))
                        retVal.add(o);     // Set.add returns true iff the item was NOT already present
              return retVal;
         static void killDups(List l) {
              Set s = new HashSet();
              for (Iterator i = l.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
                   if (! s.add(i.next()))     
                        i.remove();
         // honestly, please don't use Vectors ever again... thanks!
         // if you're going to be a jerk about it, and claim you NEED a Vector result
         // then here's your code, whiner
         public static void mainx(String[] args) {
              String[] fruits = {"apple","orange","grape","apple","apple","banana"};
              List l = Arrays.asList(fruits);
              Vector v = new Vector(l);
              killDups(v);
              System.out.println(v);
    }

  • How to delete an element in arraylist??

               }break;
      }

    It's a good thing you use code tags for posting here. Could you now consider using code conventions?
    - Why is the second loop nested in the first one? (this second loop looks weird anyway...)
    - The Iterator has a remove method. You should use it in such case.
    - Looks like you have a malpositioned/misused break statement (which is probably the reason why nothing happen, as it terminates the for loop after the first iteration.)

    Hi all. I just bought my macbook pro with retina. I choose the country as United States when I set up the mac. After that it asks me whether to transfer documents from another PC. So I transfered my documents to the new mac. There are some Chinese documents.
    Now calendar displays the dates in Chinese instead of English. I tried to set the region to US in system preferences and restart the system, but it always change back to "Chinese" in the region tag.

  • HELP. Trying to find out how to reboot or reinstall my System Preferences

    It says I'm supposed to hold Control R when trying to do a system reboot, this isn't working for me. A couple days ago I accidentally deleted the System Preferences and I'm trying anything to get it back, does anyone have any suggestions, please?

    do you have lion?  : ) you probably do because you are pressing the cmd-r key, but thought I ask.
    the easiest way that I can think of that you can recover the System Preferences is by copying that from another Mac.
    If you have time machine, it will be there too.  And the 3rd option is Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/).
    btw, did you check the trash?  maybe it is still in there : )

  • How to get rid of old system preferences??

    I recently upgraded (using Migration Assistant) from a PPC G5 to a new Mac Pro. I still have the APC "PowerChute" system preference, even though I don't have the PowerChute software (or at least I have nothing with that file name). PowerChute doesn't work on Intel machines, and it's my understanding that all of that functionality is handled by Energy Saver in Snow Leopard.
    So how do I get rid of the PowerChute icon in my system preferences??
    Tks!
    Butch

    I assume it's in the bottom line, labelled 'Other" - control-click on it to remove it.
