REmoving App from System Preferences

I have an app in the system preferences in the 'other' section. I do not want it anymore and therefore I would like to remove from the preferences. Where do I go to have it removed.
Thx.

Right/control click on the name of the pref you want to delete and choose "Remove.....(pref name)"

  • Remove app. in system preference.

    i have some app. in system preference. is there any way to remove them?
    some ppl say, just drag icons out of the window, but it does not work.

    Hi xjaroo
    With System Preferences closed
    navigate to the directory: Library / PreferencePanes folder where you will see the files called
    "TheApplicationName".prefPane
    that you want gone.
    Drag them to the Desktop
    Open System Preferences and they should be gone.
    If so you can then trash them.

  • Deleting third party app from System Preferences

    I transferred my user files and apps from my old laptop (running Tiger) to my new laptop (running Leopard). Trouble is that I have this old System Pref called "SwitchPic" that I'd like to trash, but I can't seem to find the files in order to trash the app. It's showing up in my System Preferences window, but no files seem to exist on the hard drive. When I tried to find the developer of the software, the link was broken. Any ideas on how to uninstall this app? Thanks!

    Yes. Thanks. I found it after I posted my message. I'm still getting used to the search options in Leopard. I had conducted a search for the application, but didn't find anything at first because I had the wrong button clicked on the search window.
    The preference pane is gone now.

    Any help on how to solve this problem from the macbook?
    Thanks

    Does it open in the guest user?  If it's not enabled, you can do it from the apple >> system preferences >> users and groups.  Open the lock, select the guest user account and check the box to allow logging into it.

  • I cant't verify my icloud account, never received verification email, i did requested it from system preference menu

    i cant't verify my icloud account, never received verification email, i did requested it from system preference menu

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • How to uninstall new preference panes from system preferences?

    I recently got a new mouse from Logitech, and I installed the downloadable drivers to take advantage of some of the extra features. However, it doesn't work well at all, and it's added a new preference pane titled "Logitech Control Center" that completely overrides my preferences in the "Keyboard and Mouse" settings. Does anyone know how to uninstall new preference panes that are not factory-installed? I noticed that I can right-click the Logitech Control Center icon, and an option comes up for me to "Remove the preference pane," but I'm not sure if this will simply remove the icon from System Preferences without actually uninstalling anything. If anyone can give me some help I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It will only remove the pref pane but will not uninstall anything.
    I'm not familiar with the Logitech software, but I'd use Spotlight to search for it and delete whatever whatever you find. Or, better yet or use Logitech support.

  • HT201322 remove app from purchase history

    hi,
    How can remove app from purchase history in account

    The original error was the fact that when I installed video you on the iPad it was installed without audio, so I tried to delete the app and re-install. When I go to the purchase list of apps the app has a cloud instead of the word free. To me these means that the app that is being installed is from the cloud not from the developer. This produces the original error each time I install the all it gas no audio. I understand that in the release of the operating system on the iPad I am not able to hide the app. This was an option in earlier releases of the operating system.
    Regards,
    Warren

  • How can I remove apps from my iPad

    How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

    It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

  • HT203687 How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

    How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them.  Finish by tapping the home button.

  • Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

    OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
    Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
    Anyone have an idea??

    Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

    How do you remove 1) products from the "purchased" list; and 2) "the device" whether iPhone or iPad. 
    I just had to restore my iPad because the latest security update didn't install correctly; and all the old apps that I purchased re-appeared.
