Removing Parallels Icons from Launchpad

Hi,
I had a trial version of Parallels desktop, i deleted the app, but the icons are still on the launchpad and can't remove as it won't let me as it says the application has been removed?  Help.......

Seriously? No one knows this? Look at your launchpad, usually the first few pages are your real apps, from the apps folder I assume. Then I have a couple more pages of icons that are just folder-junk. They're not apps at all, and not launchable. What gives?

  • How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?

    I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below. 
    You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
    FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
    http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
    The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
    In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
    The solution is as follows…
    1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
    2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
    3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
    4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
    Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.

    Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
    No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
    I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
    Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
    The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
    If it were me, I would try this "fix".

  • Apps to Install and Uninstall Icons from Launchpad

    I have found an application by a third party that installs in the System Preference file that allows you to Add or Delete any Icon from Launchpad with just a click.
    I have installed the program and it works very good - no problems.
    I also run NORTON Internet Security 5 for MAC and the program went though the filters and checks with NO problems.
    Below is the link that takes you to the developer and download sight by a developer named Chaosspace.de
    http://chaosspace.de/launchpad-control/
    Good luck and I hope this help everyone, this problem is very frustrating!

    Why?  In general this type of setup is handled by using standard Windows authentication.  Normal users cannot install/uninstall programs.  The problem solves itself.  You cannot technically prevent an admin from removing a program. 
    It simply isn't possible.  As an admin I can remove the folder containing your program and it is effectively uninstalled.  I can manually remove any registry entries you create and it is uninstalled.  I can basically manually uninstall anything
    that you install as an admin.

  • How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

    On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
    I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
    In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
    Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
    Thanks!

  • How to Remove the Icon from the OWL Screen

    Hi All,
    Can we remove the Icon from the OWL screen for some fields without removing the Hyperlink as in the standard for Opportunity for Account Fields as shown below:
    As in the above OWL screen, i have to remove the highlighted Icon.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Malkit,
    You can check Icon in Thing Type like COD_Account__TT screen.
    Once you are in TT screen just go to "Controller" and select "Thing Type Data" from left side pan.
    But how to remove it I don't have any idea.

  • Removing stocks icon from front screen

    I don't have any stocks and shares. Unfortunately. Is there any way I can remove this icon from the front screen of the iPhone? Grateful for any suggestions.

    If you do not have any stocks, etc., just leave the iCon there.
    Just don't utilize it. It is not that you need the space for another app or there is no other room on the screen for adding additional iCons if Apple so desires.

  • How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac 10.9.5.?  Dragging doesn't work although I have tried a number of different places.  I recall right clicking used to give me a remove option.

    How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac Maverick, 10.9.5?  I've tried dragging different places: desktop, finder list etc.  No luck.

    Drag up towards the centre of the screen & hold for a second or so. The icon will have the 'smoke cloud' appear, let go & it will be removed.
    There should also be a 'Remove from Dock' option in the popup menu. It is in the 'Options' section . ctrl+click will 'right click' if right clicking is disabled.
    If this is not possible the Dock is locked (this may happen on a 'Managed Mac' normally setup by a company or school etc). See your tech support in this case.

    Hello!
    How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

    The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.

  • How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once?

    How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once? I have a 1400 + pg doc that I am updating. It has icon buttons to return to the home page on each page but they were not duplicated properly and when you scroll through the doc, the buttons dance around. Now I want to redo these buttons but hate the idea of having to go to each page to delete the icon button so I can start new. Can it be done all at once?

    It's probably worth adding to try67's suggestion above that, if you're using the first option, you need to make sure the page display is continuous. (If you've got it set to view a single page only, Command+A will only select the fields on the active page.)
