Disable SMART Ink

[John Dolleslager]

I am running Mac 10.7.4 and Notebook 11. I would like to disable/remove SMART ink. I cannot figure out how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Look around page 4, I think

That just shows how to shut it off for each window. I actually want it off my computer or at least disabled.

I never use the Ink feature.

Thanks however.

You can uninstall Smart Ink.  Go to add/remove programs and uninstall Smart Ink.  However, you will not be able to use the Smart Ink or the Smart Notebook Tools if you do this.

I found out how to remove it. It came from SMART:

SMART Ink can be disabled in your Login Items settings using the following directions:

1. Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your menu bar.
2. Select System Preferences.
3. Click Users & Groups.
4. Click Login Items.
5. Click the lock to authenticate.
6. Highlight SMART Ink and click the minus (-) symbol. Click OK.

Are these directions for Apple computers?  I'm PC and would love to get rid of the Smart Ink.

[John Dolleslager]

Yes this is for Apple. I believe for PC, if you go into control panel and uninstall, SMART Ink is a choice there. But I haven't looked, only heard from someone else.

For PC, you have 2 choices.  If you never have any use for annotations, you can remove SMART ink by going into Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7/8).

If you do have a use for inking, but just don't want to have it automatically start up, simply disable it in msconfig.

To disable it in msconfig:

1. Click on start
2. In the searchbox, or after clicking on Run..., type in msconfig
3. When System Configuration Utility opens, click on the Startup Tab
4. Find SMARTInk in the list and deselect the checkbox next to it.
5. Click on OK and reboot your computer.

The same thing can also be done for SMART Board Tools too if you so wanted to.

Does anyone know how to turn off SMARTInk (version 11) on a Mac?

Thanks,

I do not have a Mac... but in Notebook 11 on a Windows you can click on Smart Ink on top and it will ask you to turn off or disable!
