How to Remove App Store, Facetime, etc from the Dock

Apple: I have to admit: I'm dead-tired of this. Every single time an update to the OS comes down I have to spend hours upon hours trying to remove icons I do not want displayed in my dock from my dock. "I know where the App Store is. Making it reappear in my dock upon every removal and reset only serves to annoy me rather than badger me into regular visits."
Last time I had to search the web for answers I accomplished it by editing a plist in the Library folder. I really don't want my dock populated with apps I don't use with extreme frequency. I know how to initiate Mission Control. I don't need it cluttering my dock with every upgrade. Facetime?? I can find that pretty quickly as well. When I remove something from my dock that means I don't want it in my dock again unless I put it there.
Seriously. It's enough already.
Users: Can any users help us get things out of the dock this time? Thanks.

Thank you for posting the answer ... this has been annoying me for a while, but I never bothered with is as I rarely reboot. 
I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp tongiht so that I can do some gaming with a couple of buddies so now this is going to be a regular annoyance.
Well, it would have been! 
Thanks again,

  • How to remove app designer migration access from the Developer id

    Team,
    Please guide me with steps to remove app designer migration access from the Developer id.
    I want that developer can create the project but do not have migration access.
    Rgds,

    Did you already remove the other permission lists/roles you identified in your previous response like I told you to do in my first response?  The user can have no permission lists that grant this access.  Working with a clone of VP1 is a bad strategy.  Security should be handled from the bottom up, adding what is required for a user to perform their necessary functions.  Cloning VP1 and removing roles/permissions is security from the top down and will undoubtedly leave you with a user that is still granted more access than you like even after removing this particular access.  You should really be working with your companies security admin on this, they may have a standard way of doing this.  Many places I've been use custom roles and permission lists when deviating from the Oracle delivered security.
    Does ABC user still have any access to UPGRADE?
    select ru.roleuser, ru.rolename, rc.classid, ai.barname from psroleuser ru
    join psroleclass rc on ru.rolename = rc.rolename
    join psauthitem ai on ai.classid = rc.classid
    where ai.menuname = 'APPLICATION_DESIGNER'
    and ai.barname = 'UPGRADE'
    and ru.roleuser = 'ABC'

  • 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.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

  • Remove app store pop up from ipads

    how to prevent app store pop ups from ipads

    You don't. Beyond not using the game or site that has such ads, or complaining to the administrators or developers that use it.
    You could look for an ad blocking app, I use weblock but I'm sure there are others that you may like to explore.

  • App store has dissappeared from my dock

    Mac app store has disappeared from my dock.  It's still in Launchpad.  I can't figure out how to reinstall it.  Running lion 10.7.1. downloaded it again 10.7.1 again, but it didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    The Mac App Store app is located in the Applications folder. Open a Finder window and browse to the Applications folder and then drag & drop the MAS icon anywhere you choose on the Dock.

  • How to stop application folder form disappearing from the dock

    I'm on MAC OS 10.6.7 on my Macbook 7.1.  My applications folder disappeared from the dock.  I can drag a new copy from the Mac Hard Disk folder to the dock (to the right of the dashed line (my dock is at the bottom) and it appears with an Address book icon.  After 10 to 15 seconds, the icon disappears.
    Anyone know what is going on and how to fix this?

    Not sure why this is happening, but try this. This is the way I've done it. First, make an alias of the folder (File>make alias) and put it somwhere, like Documents. Then, copy drag it (Option-click) to the part of the dock below or to the side of the separator near the Trash icon. This will place an alias of the folder in the Dock. You must keep the first alias you made.
    You can also make one just for Utilities, the same way. The app folder will appear with an A and the Utilties folder will appear with an X.
    EDIT: It's been a while now, but I think I got rid of the default app folder because I didn't like the way it looked and functioned.
    You can also see I put an alias of my home folder there, as well.
    Might as well mention another customisation. Get Tinkertool (free) Go to Dock>Disable Dock Expose to get rid of the very annoying -- at least to me -- entire screen turning black when opening one of the Dock icon's options.

  • Within minutes of reboot, apps won't open from the dock, Applications folder or Launchpad.  Already running apps appear unaffected.  What should I do?

    I installed Lion on my late-2009 Mac Mini a few weeks ago.  Within the last week, a strange problem has cropped up.  Just a few minutes after reboot, my Mac Mini stops opening applications.  I can try to open applications from the dock, or the Applications folder, or  Launchpad, and nothing opens.  Applications that have already been opened appear to be unaffected, as long as I don't close them.  If I quit an application, I cannot re-open it.
    This does not appear to be related to any updates or changes.  The problem began while my Mac Mini was on 10.7.1, and persisted after an upgrade to 10.7.2.

    Hello, how exactly did you move these other files, & what were they?
    Open the Applications folder, does iMovie & iPhoto work from there?

  • How come Logic can't be launched from the dock?

    I have the Logic Pro icon sitting nicely in my dock, but I can't launch Logic from there. Instead I have to go to the Finder and open up a specific file. Is it possible to launch Logic from the dock? Thanks.

    Yeah, no problem. ( first I'd get rid of the old dock icon if it's not working, just pull it off the dock and drop it, it'll disappear in a puff of smoke )
    Then find the original logic app in your applications folder and pull that to the dock where it'll create a launch icon.
    Then just double click the click that icon.

  • How to remove apple store iPhoto-update from screen?

    I bought an applebook pro recently ... apple store offers an update indicated by an encircled red 1.
    When hitting up-date a pull down message tells me to enter with the account I purchased iPhotot with.
    This makes no sense as iPhoto has been part of the bundle of programs installed on the laptop already.
    Is there a solution out there or a way to remove this update reminder from the apple store icon?
    Thanks,
    Peer

    Thanks for your help which does not help much ... as said I bought the applebook along with iPhoto not separate ... Apple store asks me for an ID I don't have ... I cannot apply my Apple ID which I set right after purchasing ... in other words ... I get allowance to enter apple store with my ID but when hitting the up-date button apple store ask for an ID I cannot have as I bought iPhoto long with the applebook ... do you have other ideas how to overcome this issue?

  • How To Remove A Specific Application Name From The "Open With" Dialog

    When you right click on a file you are presented with the "Open With" menu item and you are also presented with a list of applications that could potentially be used to open that file.
    In my case, when I click on a file of type .mov I am presented with the name of an application that I want to remove from the list, because that application ( Miro.app (2.5.2) ) no longer exists on my system.
    What is the best way to remove that application name from the list?

    Ok, but how does one remove some of the applications that are appear in the context menu for a given file type? Is there an asc file which can be edited?
    For example, in my system a PDF can be opened with over 10 applications. I would like to see just the three ones I use: Acrobat, Skim and Preview.
    Thanks in advance.
