How to remove old items from right-click contextual menus?

So, I've installed two versions of Photoshop. The older CS4 and then recently upgraded to CS5. I've uninstalled some items (Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4) from the system using the Adobe uninstaller. But for some strange reason, if I control-click or right-click on an item, say a PDF, Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 Still show up in the list ...
I've searched the ~/Library/ folder and can't find a Contextual menus folder.
In the /Library/Contextual menus folder only 1 item is listed even if I show all files.
Any ideas? I'm very much lost and I would really like to have the applications that no longer exist on the drive removed from the list... Thanks in advance

Remove an item from right-click menu?

How do I remove an item from a right-click menu? An application I installed but later removed placed an item on my right-click menu. I want to remove the right-click item it placed there. I've looked in .../user/library/contextual menu and /library/contextual menu but don't see anything there that suggests it might be related.
Thanks.

I suddenly realized this was a FireFox Add-on. Once I realized that it was easy to go to Add-on menu in Firefox and remove it.
Problem solved.

How to remove these items from Infopath ribbon in web enable form?

Hi All,
I am using custom list form customized in infopath 2013, I want to remove these items from ribbon :
I tried with Infopath "form Options" like:
But still showing "Picture-1" options. How to remove those items from ribbob?

Hi,
I understand that in the list view web part, you wanted to remove the ribbon of InfoPath form.
There are to mothed to achieve it:
Open the list, click new item, edit page, edit web part, unclick the ‘Show InfoPath Ribbon or toolbar’ box, the new item page will remove the riibon. Then when you open the page which has the list view web part, the ribbon of InfoPath form will also
be removed.
Open the page which has the list view web part, edit page, edit the list view web part, unclick the ‘Show InfoPath Ribbon or toolbar’ box, the ribbon of InfoPath form in the web part will be removed. Then when you open the list, the ribbon of InfoPath form
will also be removed.
The two method edit the same page newifs.aspx, so the list and the webpart will be modified in the same time.
Thank you for your understanding.

How to remove an item from side bar?

Can anyone teach me how to remove following item from side bar: Thank you!

Niel thank you very much for you help.

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
Good luck.

How to Remove old updates from Software Update service

Running a 10.10.2 OS X Server and have a lot of old Update files I need to get rid of. I have followed instructions on...
Mac OS X Server 10.4 or later: Removing old updates from Software Update Server
...but getting this error...
No such file or directory
...when typing...
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't use Apple's own SUS software I use Reposado instead, however it is my understanding that the locations of files used by Apple's SUS software have been moved with Yosemite/Server 4.x.
Try looking in the following locations
/Library/Server/Software Update/Config/
/Library/Server/Software Update/Data/
/private/var/db/swupd/

Hi Vijay,
(a) every request on SDN is expected as urgent... If you won't use this word in the future, you'll have more time for solving your problems
(b) If your listbox.getModel() returns the DefaultListModel, you can call removeItem(String key) on the model; see http://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/preNW04/SP2/60_sp2_javadocs/htmlb/com/sapportals/htmlb/DefaultListModel.html#removeItem(java.lang.String) for details
Hope it helps

Why did Word on Office 2013 REMOVE Auto Correct from Right-Click Context Menu??

Hi Microsoft -
I normally don't rant, but this is a killer feature removal, and the reason given is for aesthetics - 'Removal of clutter" is how it's worded here:
[Changes in Office 2013]
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954(en-us).aspx
I copy n pasted below the operative row from the linked TechNet page as to the reason WHY this critical (and very popular feature) has been removed from Microsoft Office 2013 Word's context-menu: LESS CLUTTER
And your answer is ambiguous and doesn't solve the issue that you created to make things prettier: "Click the AutoCorrect Options button" Then what? ADD EACH WORD MANUALLY?
Please advise ALL OF US that want this feature back how to have our commonly misspelled words fixed and added automatically to the dictionary. If I am missing this in a major way somehow, I apologize completely and will issue a public apology via any
social media platform of your choice. If it really is gone, and I have to manually add the entries into a buried table 6-clicks deep, then I will issue a public excoriation of this feature on as many social platforms of my choice.
Sincerely,
Maximus Mednick
COPY N PASTE AS FOLLOWS:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Contents of spelling error context menu
Word and WordMail within Outlook
Modifying the feature
Auto-Correct and certain formatting tools are no longer available from the spelling error context menu.
To make Word 2013 cleaner and less cluttered, we removed AutoCorrect and certain formatting tools from the spelling error context menu. The features are still available in Word 2013 through other entry points within the Word user interface.
Less clutter in the spelling error context menu. This enables users to find popular commands more quickly. In addition, the spelling error context menu now fits better on the screen.
To change AutoCorrect options, do the following:
Choose File -> Options -> Proofing
Choose the AutoCorrect Options button.

Thanks, MAXIMUS

Microsoft used to be about allowing users to customize the OS and apps however they want. This was one reason I have always preferred Windows over Mac. There are 5 ways to do any one thing, and you can customize it to do it however you want. It's all about
user choice. Please don't go the way of Apple and force users into the way that you *think* we should do things.
<rant>
While I whole heartedly agree with this suggestion, if you look through this blog about the design decisions that went into the 2007 ribbon:
Jensen Harris: An Office User Interface Blog -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jensenh/archive/2008/03/12/table-of-contents.aspx
You'll see that one of the considerations of the ribbon was to ELIMINATE/REDUCE customization because it was costing large corporate customers too much time/money to support their users with 2003 customized menu/toolbars. In other words, the ribbon
was intentionally built as a fixed design so that average user cannot change it. The QAT was an afterthought, a sop, to allow users minimal customization.
They found that the 2007 lock down was too much of a "good thing", too much like the good old "IBM 360 green screen" (even if most people don't recognize the reference), so in 2010 they
re-introduced limited Ribbon customization within the UI.
But you still can't customize the default tabs. And to add injury to insult, if you do want to customize a default tab and go to the effort of trying to recreate the default tabs and groups
within the Ribbon UI, you'll eventually find that YOU CAN'T'! There is no way inside the UI to force the buttons to layout the same way! AHHH!
Even in 2007,
EXPERTS have had the option of creating custom Ribbons/tabs by editing XML, but that is pretty serious programming, out of scope for 99% of users.
The "solution" to the problem was too simple. Just add an option to allow users to turn on the old menu UI. Even if it had been buried as a registry hack, the people who really wanted it would have learned about it. Then MS could have collected statistics
on usage that would have "proved" that the menu was preferred over the ribbon. The thing is, if the ribbon was defaulted "out of the box", over time people would eventually all switch over to it. Simply because it was the default, because MS only produced
new training material referring for the ribbon
Now, I'll concede that the ribbon really may be more "intuitive", but only for new users. For long time users the change is very jarring.
They made the same choice with Windows 8. In the last Windows 8 consumer Preview there was a registry hack to bypass the Start Screen. I learned about it in July or August. But MS was so sure the Start screen/metro was the only way to go they
rushed out a Windows Update to eliminate that registry entry. And it was eliminated from the RTM version.
WHY?
Why did they remove the user's right to chose the UI that worked best for them? I don't know.
</end rant> sorry, this is a hot button for me.

How to remove old iPod from my account

I purchased a new iPod Touch and have it up and running.. I want to give my iPod classic to my grand daughter. I have restored it and renamed it, but I want to remove it from my account but it seems there is no option in editing my account to remove a machine from it. How can she register it to a new account when she gets it or use it when she goes to the iTunes store if it is registered in my account?

How can she register it to a new account when she gets it or use it when she goes to the iTunes store if it is registered in my account?
When the iPod is connected to her computer, change the computer it's associated with. Reregistering it with Apple can be done by clicking here and following the instructions, but isn't needed.

How to remove an item from Launchpad

I am new to os X 10.7 and just tried the Lauchpd. I know you can hold an item down or press the Option key and all
icons will jiggle. Once the jiggle how do you remove the time? I did not see an X and could not drag an item to trash,.

You answerd my quesiton. Users cannot remove items from the Lauchpad. They can be shifted to the back but the only way to remove a non Apple Store item is to remove it from the computer.
I have decided to remove the Launchpad from the Dock and may never visit it again.
No follow up needed.

How to Remove "OLAP Functions with right-click" in Workbooks (By VBA?)

Dear Experts:
After we created workbooks, to prevent end users from using certain BEx functions, we greyed out some "icons"
on SAP BEx Menu in the workbooks. But now we have one problems: because we also made "Setting" unable on the menu bar, now we are not able to remove one marked selection: "OLAP Functions with right-click". Is there any way we can disable "OLAP Functions with right-click", then users can only use the normal Excel functions in the workbooks??
Thank you very much and BR
SzuFen

Hello,
Go to Business Explorer Menu, Select Settings, Uncheck OLAP Function with Right Click and save it as existing workbook.
I have tried it. It works, when you reopen, it will be still disable..
Hope it helps.

Now when I buy music from istore it still thinks it is for the mini not my new classic so I have to enter my apple id again to authorise songs for the classic. It then says I have used up two of the 5 devices I'm allowed. (1 for Classic and 1 for Mini)
