Why I can't remove applications in Launchpad?

What I wanted to do

I have some third-party applications that I wanted to remove my Mac mini. I looked online Apple online help and he informed me that the quickest way was to open the dashboard, click on the application icon until all the icons that are shaken and then click on the button Delete the relevant icon that appeared.

What actually happened

When I open the Launchpad the cursor changed suddenly from the usual angle more vertically aligned arrow pointer pointing to the up arrow cursor. I moved the slider on the delete button and clicked on delete. Did that make the application open, he has not removed the app at all. I tried with some other applications and it's the same thing.

Desired result

It would be great if someone could explain this strange behavior. I'd be happy to try the sensible suggestions.

Thanks for reading!

Select the icon in the dock

Hold the LMB, drag it off the dock,

Keep just outside the docking station

the icon is 'delete '.

Release LMB

  • How can I remove application Mega backup that I installed when I thought I was the update for adobe flash download. I've got El Capitan.

    How can I remove app Mega backup of my desktop computer. He got installed when I thought I was downloading an update for adobe flash.  I closed the application them tp mpved ot trash, but he would not accept it stating still open app.

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.

  • How can I remove applications from blackBerry Smartphones?

    How can I delete applications?  For example, I want to get the applications Facebook and myspace but they do not appear on my list of app and that they don't show up when I am connected to Desktop Manager, Ditto for a game called hits trooper.  Anyone know how I can get rid of these elements?  Thank you!!

    Those who are not real, but rather 'pushed' applications shortcuts to the installation of the application. You can delete them, they will only get repulsed by your carrier.

    To do this. Create a folder on your home screen and name it "junk." Now, highlight and then highlight each icon you don't want to see, like Facebook and move it into this folder.

    Now, when all are moved, highlight the "junk" icon, press Menu > hide.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can you remove applications accompanying the BB 8130?

    I want to remove the installation wizard, dial, Yahoo messenger, download windows live, facebook, set up bluetooth, download gps NAV. They do not appear under Advanced options/applications to remove it. They do not appear in the Desktop Manager. I did it recharges on the phone. I have upgraded Desktop Manager 4.5 but impossible to pass the phone to 4.5 that my operator has not yet (and remove the XML to update the different carrier does not work).

    Certainly, I can choose what I want on my own phone? Help, please?

    The answer is no, you don't delete them.  They are not really applications.  You can hide the icons for things like new message, which I believe is a shortcut defined by theme.  The other icons are pushed with the Service of your business books.  If you go to Options-> Advanced-> Service books, you can remove this service book and the icon will disappear, but it will get pushed once again if you need to re - register with the network.

    Why I can't remove this table? How to do?

    When a table is dropped, it goes in the TRASH; It may therefore be FLASHBACK.

    What you're trying to DELETE a table already in the TRASH; is NOT authorized.

    When all else fails, read the Fine

    This happens when a Windows service is trying to display boxes of message, which is no longer allowed. It's called Session 0 Isolation:

    Services in Windows Vista also run in a less privileged account such as Local Service or Network service, instead of the System account. Previous versions of Windows ransystem services in the same session of connection as the locally logged (Session 0). In Windows Vista, Session 0 is now reserved for these services, and all interactive logins are done in other sessions. [10] this is intended to help mitigate a class of exploits of the Windows, calledcrises burst messaging system. The process that hosts a service has only the privileges specified in theRequiredPrivileges registry value under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services.

  • How can I remove Wifi.app from Launchpad?

    According to the online instructions for troubleshooting wifi (which didn't work), I dragged Wifi.app system > library > Services essential to the Launchpad.

    Now, I have a generic icon for Wifi.app ap in Launchpad that I can't remove.

    When I click on it and hold the mouse, there is no "X" in the upper corner.

    How can I remove this icon Wifi.app from Launchpad?

    First of all, go to/System/Library/CoreServices , and ensure that the app is still there. If so, just go to the Applications folder and delete "Wifi.app", so it will be removed from the Launchpad.

    I have an application that is in limbo. He says waiting, and I can't remove it. I tried to restart my phone and tried to open the app to re install. He is STUCK... HELP Please help.

    You can force quit it double clicking the Home button and then pushing on the top of the screen? You should be able to uninstall it then. If he's in trouble, what you do not want to do is open it. Did you really restart the phone now Home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears.
