Removing Icons from System Prefs

How can I remove from the System Preferences panel an icon of a function that I have removed from the hard drive?
I threw out Time Machine, but the icon is still there and I even get the dialog when I click on it. But I want it out.

/System/Library/PreferencePanes/TimeMachine.prefPane
You do realize that TimeMachine.app is only 410k?

  • Remove icons from right end of menu bar

    On the Apple site I saw this procedure to remove icons from the right end of the menu bar : To rearrange the menu bar icons on the right end of the menu bar, hold down the Command key while dragging the icons. To remove them, hold down the Command key and drag them out of the menu bar.
    It does not work with 10.6.8. As soon as I approach an icon it opens a menu wether I use the right or left hand side of the mouse. I cannot simply drag, as suggested.
    Any other suggestion?
    Thank you in advance

    Some can't be moved or removed.
    Check their respective System Preference, perhaps there is a option there to remove it from the menu bar.

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

  • How do i remove icons from iphone

  • Why can't I remove icons from desktop

    Why can't I remove or relocate icons on the desktop. When I attempt to do so a circle with a slash thru it appears and it snaps back to it's original position. I also can not remove icons from the trash to the desktop for the same reason.

    This may fix it. Open Terminal in Utilities and Copy/Paste -- don't attempt to type this in. This will set the correct Permissions on your Home Folder. (Disk Utility Permissions Repair won't touch these.)
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Then hit return.
    If you've never used the sudo command before, you will get a warning and then be prompted to enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in.
    Wait until you get a new $ sign prompt and then close the window.

  • How can i remove icons from toolbar

    what is best way to remove icons from tool bar?

    On any mac application you should be able to right click (or control-click) on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar... This will enable you to drag icons off the toolbar or onto the toolbar.
    If you are referring to the Menu bar icons (in the upper right of the screen) then just press Command and then click and drag the icons off the menu bar to remove them.

  • Can't remove icons from the dock.

    I can't seem to remove the app icons from my dock. Usually i would just click the icon and drag it away or even right click it and have it removed from the dock. Now if I try to drag it out of the dock it doesnt move and when i right click it my only options are to ---Open at login/show in finder or open---. I ran disk utility, relaunched my dock, restarted my computer and shut it down yet the problem still persists. I was hopoing someone out there had an answer to this problem. I will call apple tomorrow morning if it wont go away.
    I dont know if this help but I just installed CS4 on my computer I i noticed the problem after it was installed.

    Click here and run the script at the bottom of the page.

  • How can I remove icons from the desktop on my iPad Mini?

    I understand that there are apps on my iPad that I cannot delete, but is there a way of removing an icon from the desktop?

    Remove, but not uninstall from the device?  Where would they go if you did that?
    Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
    There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
    Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps. 

  • Can't remove icon from dock?

    So I recently updated my macbook to newer software and i had to also download a newer version of pages, keynote and numbers. These became new icons in my launchpad so I dragged them down to my dock. I restarted my computer so that the other 3 old icons would disappear but they remained. I deleted them then emptied trash and have become question marks now. I still can't seem to remove them from my dock? Any help? Thank you.

    When I right click on the the question mark and hover over the "Options" it does not come up with anything.

    The "Energy" icon has somehow changed. How do I can back the original icon?
    Please help.

    Spy,
    Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:

    Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the Energy Icon will return to normal appearance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    According to MarkDouma®:
    Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
    /Users/~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the icons should appear properly.

    hi,
    I am not sure whether we can completely hide these icons from the user.
    But there is a workaround to disable these icons.
    CMC > Applications > Web Intelligence > Your Group > Assign Security > Advanced > Add/Remove Rights > Application > Web Intelligence
    Deny the following

  • Accidentally removed "@" icon from Dock (launches safari)

    Hi,
    I accidentally removed the "@" icon from the far right side of the Dock (it launches safari). Can anyone tell me how I can get it back?
    Thanks,
    Josef

    *Hi Joseph, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Hmmnnn, I did not know you could launch Safari that way. The "@" usually is a URL that has been dragged to that location.
    The standard way to get an App onto the Dock is to go to the Apps folder and drag the app to where you want it in the left portion of the dock. It will then stay there until you right (Control) click on it and ask that it be removed from the Dock.
    Hope that's helpful.
    Good Luck, JP
