Can I remove items from the Services menu?

I think the subject line says it all: can I remove items from the Services menu? I have a number of items in the Services menu that I never use and I would like to make the menu shorter to make it easier to access the items that I do use.

There are a couple of things you could try. There's an application called Service Scrubber that is supposed to do this. But the web page says it's for 10.4, though it says it might work on 10.3
Alternatively, you can edit the Info.plist or Info-macos.plist file in each application bundle to remove its service from the Services menu. This post at Mac OS X Hints has a pretty detailed description of how to do it. I tried this on my iMac running 10.3.9 and it worked just fine.
Don't know about the Service Scrubber app, but if you edit the plist files, you'll need to log out and log back in before the changes take effect.
Also, if you decide to edit the files by hand, I'd suggest just renaming NSServices by adding an "x" to the front or something, rather than deleting the item completely. That makes the changes easier to reverse.

Remove items from the Tools menu in the Service Manager console

Hi.
I know I have see a post regarding this before, but just wanted to put it out these once again. I'd like to remove items from the Tools menu in the Service Manager console - specifically My Notifications and Create Change Request. This is because
the former allows a user to create notification subscriptions in incorrect Management Packs, and the latter because we are not using Change Management yet. Does anyone have any information on how to achieve this?
Cheers
Shaun

Adding/Removing items from the main menu

I don't know why my iPod won't let me add or remove items from my main menu.
I go
Settings > Main Menu > (check what I want on the main menu) > Reset Main Menu > Reset
When I go out to the main menu again, nothing has changed.
Anyone else having this problem? Thank you for help!

If you do a reset then you're resetting it to default. If you want to change anything ya just change it to on/and or off, then hit the menu button to go back. Don't go all the way to reset. Hope this helps.

Remove items from start up menu

I installed smartboard program from external harddrive and it startups every time I turn on my computer. I don't need it to start up everytime I open my computer, its annoying having to close it. How do you remove it from the startup menu....so that it doesn't open everytime I open my computer?

Try System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items. Remove it from there. Other than that contact the vendor.

Removing items from the Apple Menu

Using Leopard in a School the pupils are always messing up the dock. I have locked system preferences but they are still able to mess with dock settings by going to dock off of the apple menu. Is it possible to remove this item from the Apple menu or to make it inactive
Thanks

I don't think so. Have you tried checking in 'Parental Controls' section? If there's nothing there you might need a third party software solution. You could always try to contact the Mac Genius bar too, they might know of a 'trick' to remove it.

Removing items from the user menu

When users log in, they get a menu in the upper right corner of the ribbon that has their user name on it; the welcome menu. This menu has some items on it that I would like to remove because we have disabled "My sites" and because they allow unwanted
actions..
The buttons are:
My Site
My Profile
Personalize this Page
I managed to find the template welcome.ascx for the welcome menu in \14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\ and was able to hide the "Personalize this Page" item by adding visible="false" to the menu item template. What I can't find is the menu
item template for the My Site items. I'm not sure if those items are controlled by the menu template. I think they are controlled by turning off my sites in central admin. I say this because when I click on both menu items, I get a page not found error. I
think the files for those pages were removed rather than disabling my sites. Can someone confirm?

I would not recommend modifying the pages on the server directly. Any future CU or ServicePack could overwrite those changes. If you have backup of those please, you may refer it back.
And to hide those button, goto User Profile Service Application in Central Admin. You will find Manage User Permissions. There you can uncheck the following to disable the respective buttons
Uncheck Use Personal Features to hide My Profile
Uncheck Create Personal Site to hide My Site
Uncheck Use Social Features to disable Tagging, Note Board

Remove Items from "Open With" Menu

I installed Photoshop CS2 last week and it added a ton of unnecessary and unwanted items in the "Open With" menu in Tiger...
Sorry that image is so large, but imagine having to look at that on a regular basis. Can I remove all of that crap?! It's slowed Tiger's performance considerably.

If you are never going to use them, you can simply trash and restart. Or you can do what I (and many others) have done and leave the ones you do use and zip the rest. They are here:
"/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Samples/Droplets"
There's one folder for Photoshop, and second for ImageReady.

Removing Items from "Open With" Menu

I have installed Adobe CS2 awhile back on both my computers. Since I have have done so. Selecting the "Open with" on a selected image file brings up a list of maybe 40 options. Constrain to 200 Pixels and all this other crap. Honestly, it's screwed up a few of my files by accidentally clicking on them. The program will open.. run the script and close. I just want help on getting these items of my list. without removing the apps.
Thanks alot!

Mike has the right of it. What I did was to make a list of all the droplets and store it in the droplets folder, then zip all of them except one I actually sometimes use. There is also a folder full of droplets for Image Ready. Should I ever want to see what's there for some batch processing I can consult the list, unzip, and use. Then toss.

How can I remove items from the open a recent file menue.

How can I remove items from the "Open a Recent File" menue. Many other applications allow the clearing of that file . Is this possible in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 ? If so how?

See this previous topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759596
It is for Acrobat, but the registry entries are similar for Reader.

Removing Item from Finder Menu

How do I remove an item from the Finder Menu? I have the clock, airport-thingy, and power info. There is also a character palette item. displayed as an american flag. How do I remove the character palette item from the menu?

Hi
Hold down the cmd key and drag it off. This should
work for most menubar icons.

Thank you very much! That did the trick. There is a lot I don't know. I'm glad there are people like you out there.

HT201364 how do I remove items from startup disk to load OS X Mavericks?

I'm trying to load OS X Mavericks and I'm getting a message to remove items from startup disk. Can anyone tell me how to do that??

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

Photoscene-
I'm not sure this addresses your exact situation or not, but the following link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486#comments
suggests a method for removing items from the "open with" menu that shouldn't be there.
I have NOT tried the above, so use the usual cautions (backup beforehand, etc.).
Good luck,

How can we remove items from the VF04 list?

We have a long list of items in VF04 that, for various reasons (some process related, some due to errors), are not to be billed. We have looked at applying filters to the list but there is nothing really suitable to hide these individual documents e.g. we could filter out some dates where none of the items on that date are to be billed but other dates have a mix of items we want to bill and others we don't.
I have done a search of this forum but didn't find a previous topic with a quick and simple method to remove items from the list .
Is there a method, other than billing them or sorting each issue individually, to permanently remove individual documents from the VF04 list?
Thanks in advance for any help.
David

Hi,
David,
Download a list of Pending delivers doc form VF04.
Paste the list in T.Code : VL09 (Delivery reversal) and reverse the delivery.
Then go to T.Code: VL06G Select the list of deliveries that has been reversed, select/delete all un- wanted deliveries.
This way you can remove all unwanted pending deliveries forn Billing due list (VF04).
Thanks & Regards,
R.Janakiraman
