Why can't I "trash"duplicate MS Office icons from my Launchpad?

I had MS Office 2011 installed when I bought my iMac at the beginning of December, and just recently noticed that I have duplicates of three of the Office icons (Office Reminders, SetUp Assistant, and Upload Center) on my Launchpad.  I only see them once in my Office folder in Applications, and the computer won't let me drag any of the icons into the trash from Launchpad.  (All of the other Office icons only appear once on my Launchpad.) Any ideas what's going on, or how I can remove one of each of these icons?

You can only trash apps downloaded from the app store in launchpad. You need to trash these using finder.
Go to your Applications folder in Finder and drag them to the trash can.
If they're not there, use Spotlight to locate them. They are most likely in whichever one of these your other Office files is not:
[hard disk] > Applications
OR
[hard disk] > Users > Home > Applications

  • Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

    Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
    I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
    In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

    Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

  • What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

    Hi All,
    I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
    What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
    Thanks in advance,
    LaVIEWan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.
    Regards

  • Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iPhoto that will be viewable on a Windows computer?

    Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

    Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
    The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

  • Why can't I get any sound to come from my phone unless I put it on speaker phone?

    Why can't I get any sound to come from my phone unless I put it on speaker?

    Do you still have the original plastic shipping cover on the face of the iPhone?  Or any kind of screen protector that covers the speaker ear hole.  That will block the sound.
    My wife experienced this.
    Also if you still have the shipping plastic on the back, it will cause the camera flash to spill back into the camera lense spoiling your pictures.

  • Why can't I copy an image or vector from Illustrator CC and paste to Fireworks CS6?

    Why can't I copy an image or vector from Illustrator CC and paste to Fireworks CS6? This was possible with Illustrator CS6. I know they are different versions but since there is no Fireworks CC, is there a fix update???

    Yes, other users have complained about that. Unfortunately, Fireworks' development was halted a year ago, and I would be surprised if Adobe spends any money or time to fix bugs and interoperability issues in Fireworks. I would not expect any real updates or fixes.
    Tough to swallow, but FW is dead in the water and EOL'ed.
