How to get rid of apps on dashboard

I just got my MBP yesterday. I want to get rid of the clock and the calculator that pops up when I click the Dashboard icon.. how do I do this? They don't have any "x"'s or anythin to close out with..

Click on Dashboard. At the bottom left of your screen you will see "+" sign inside a circle. Click on it & it will turn into a "X"
Now you will see a small "x" appear on all the widgets that pop up on your screen.

  • How to get rid of app store update notification

    I have run the updates I want after purchasing Mountain Lion, and wished to install only 5 of the 10 or so updates available. Nonetheless I am continually being asked to update the other 5 elements which I do no want. How do I get rid of the "update available" tag on the AppStore icon in the dock?

    I just wanted to *confirm* the solution proposed by R C-R. (2014 July, OSX 10.9.2)
    1. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu.
    2. From the "Store" menu, verify that you are signed in (by seeing the "Sign Out" menu item) & If necessary, sign in.
    3. Right (or Control) Click on an update you want to ignore anywhere in its entry except on the "Instal" button. [iBurger: click on the area, NOT THE BUTTON]
    4. "Hide Update" (not "Ignore Update") should appear in a popup. Choose that option to stop the reminders.
    To reverse the process & reveal all the updates you have hidden, choose "Show All Software Updates…" from the Store menu. (That menu choice only appears if you have hidden one or more updates.)

  • How to get rid of apps stuck in waiting

    Hi I've recently got a new phone and have backed up my old phone using iTunes, so I've now restored the new phone from my backup and all my apps all say "waiting".  I cant use an app because of this. How do I fix this?

    Click and hold an icon until they all start jiggling and a X appears. Click the X to delete the partial download.

  • Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. How to get rid of this problem? Iregularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

    Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. Not in France, because my bank account number is Dutch (it says), not in the Nteherlands because I should buy in the Dutch app stoe.

    my ipad sometimes gets hanged while in apps . but when it gets hanged , its comes to homescreen and stops responding
    how to get rid of this problem

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

    Dear Customer,
    Welcome and Thank You for posting your query on HP Support Forum
    If you're operating Windows 8 with a mouse, it's a snap to uninstall an app: Just mouse over its tile, right-click, and then choose Uninstall from the options toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen. Of course, if you're using a touchscreen, there's no right-click option
    Please refert to the below shown link for further troubleshooting:

  • When I try to update my apps, an old email address appears and I dont know how to get rid of it?  Not to tech savvy!  : (

    When I try to update my apps, and old email address appears,how I get rid of it?  I am not tech savvy at all!

    This is happening because they were purchased with your older Apple ID.  Apps and there updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID on your phone in Settings>Store.  The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.
