How to fix \u201cBackground Items Added\u201d Notifications<\/h2>\n

The regular way<\/h3>\n

To get rid of the notifications using the regular (but slightly techy) method, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Finder<\/strong> on your Mac.\"open-finder\"<\/picture><\/li>\n
  2. Click on the \u201cGo<\/strong>\u201d menu and select \u201cGo to Folder…<\/strong>\u201d.<\/strong>\"go-to-folder\"<\/picture><\/li>\n
  3. Type in \u201c\/Library\/LaunchAgents<\/strong>\u201d and press Enter.\"Type-in-Library-Launch-Agents\"<\/picture><\/li>\n
  4. Look for the app(s) or developer name(s) causing the notifications (the same one\/ones in the Background Items Added notifications on your desktop) and delete any related plist files.\"delete-any-related-plist-files\"<\/picture><\/li>\n
  5. Empty the Trash and restart your Mac.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If the notifications persist, repeat steps 2\u20133 and look for launch daemons associated with the app(s) or developer name(s) in the \/Library\/LaunchDaemons <\/strong>folder instead. Then delete those files, empty the Trash, and restart your Mac.<\/p>\n

    The less techy way<\/h3>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for a slightly less complicated way to resolve the issue, you should give Cleaner One Pro <\/strong><\/a>a try.<\/p>\n

    2.

    3. Click on the magnifying glass icon to the right of the option\u2019s name to go directly to its related folder. Delete any corresponding plist files.\"Delete-any-corresponding-plist-files\"<\/picture><\/li>\n
    4. Repeat steps 2\u20133 until you\u2019ve deleted the plist files relating to all the Background Items Added notifications on your desktop.<\/li>\n
    5. Restart your Mac.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
