Ok I've tried to completely uninstall Adobe CS4 Suite with no success. I've uninstalled using the Adobe Uninstaller, then deleted every Adobe folder off my hard drive. I've also tried using the clean uninstall script from Adobe.

I did an uninstall of Firefox, wanting to just go back and start over, clean. I went into my profile & deleted that (after saving to USB). Now I'm wondering abt getting rid of the icon and how do I check to make sure there is nothing at all on my computer. Isn't that what I want in the event I just want to start over? I love Firefox and just want to get it back on my system, operating properly.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 running on a G4 tower (Power PC). I installed Adobe TidySongs for the Mac, but it didn't work correctly so I tried to uninstall it with App Delete. When I try install it again, the TidySongs installer says I already have the same version installed. Does anyone know what I need to look for to get rid of all remnants of previous install (including js file and where this would be located). Do I also need to uninstall Adobe Air installer (which would affect Adobe Media Player as well)?

I've used the dock for a very long time, but once I found DragThing, I fell in love, even more when I started using Witch for window management. But I have DragThing docks on all four sides of my desktop, and I hate the apple dock bouncing on me when I go to the side I left it. So, is there a way to disable the apple dock completely?
I have a buddie who has an iMac and if he closes a program by pressing the red 'x' in the upper left corner
it closes the app completly, i have to close the app then go to the finder bar and press on the name of the open app and go down to quit in order for it to quit completly, how do you set it up to close completly by pressing the 'x'?
(example: if firefox is open, i hit the red 'x' and the program closes, but in the finder bar on top of the screen, it shows the name still and in the dock bar it shows a little white speck under the app and it is not closed completely.
I'm interested in using Aperture to manage my very large photo library. I may not want to use Aperture forever however. So, in the future, if I want to migrate away from Aperture, how do you get your entire photo library out of Aperture?
1) Do you have to "export" all photos?
2) Can you retain your original folder structure?
3) Is there a way to browse to the actual photo files when using Aperture? Or are they completely "locked up" within Aperture?
I got so mad at it duplicating my contacts and rushed into the Applications folder and dragged it to the trash and now I cannot get rid of it. It's still showing up in my Address Book because it has a little tab off to the right that clickable. I did a search thru spotlight for any instances of Plaxo and nothing shows up but its still there.
does anybody know how to uninstall Divx? (or disable it temporarily)
i installed Divx on my MP to watch movies. then i installed WC3, but it keeps crashing. it seems that divx is the reason. (i figure WC3 plays a small clip when we run it for the first time, and there might be some sort of conflict in the video codec, so WC3 crashes)
I deleted PS cs3 and wanted to reinstall it but when I go to install it it tells me to use a different installer. It also says that photoshop is intalled which it isnt. I have all the other applications like illustrator and stuff. How do I completely get rid of photoshop? I also dont have the original installer because im traveling.
My woe started after the 10.5.3 update, Mail would crash basically every step of the way and I can't get my...well mail. Despite efforts to fix it, no luck. So, I know I can reinstall the entire app from scratch with my Leopard disk. My question is, how do I completely and utterly remove any traces of Maill.app on my computer...err?
I don't care about preferences, e-mails, none of it. I just want the app gone.
I have a question, which may seem lame, but I was just curious about something� I'm going to be getting a new Mac soon and I was looking into backup applications and uninstall programs. I'm going to be installing about fifteen to twenty applications as demos just so I can see which ones suit my work best. Then I was planning to delete the applications I won't be using, and pay to unlock the ones that I will. My problem, though, is that I can�t stand left over garbage left by applications that no longer exist! (pet peeve)
So I was thinking, maybe I�ll use a good program to make a back up image of the hard disk, and when I'm done figuring out which apps to keep and which ones to uninstall, I can simply restore the entire drive from the image. Then I�ll have a clean slate all over again. I was thinking maybe I should use SuperDuper to do this? What do you think?
I also looked into uninstall applications that seem pretty good. I found one called Clean-App and another called AppCleaner. After reading about them, it seems either they are too over zealous as in the case of Clean-App, or too passive like AppCleaner, which may leave files behind.
Anyway, after all of this back and forth, I was wondering what about Time Machine? Wouldn�t this work? Couldn�t I just attach a new drive, let it make the initial backup, and then detach it. Here I can go about installing everything under the sun to test drive it all, and when I finally make my decision on which apps to use, I can restore the entire disk to the way it was before I began?
Doesn�t time machine work like system restore in Vista? Where anything installed after the restore point disappears cleanly as if by magic? (I hate comparing anything Mac to Windows, but it�s the only comparison I know.) Will this work? Do you think this is the best way to go about it (using Time Machine)? Should I use SuperDuper instead? Or should I just use a uninstall application and stop being so damn anal?
How do you uninstall a program without having to purchase a third party software? I ran a search for the word "uninstall" in the whole application but there was no search results.
I love using Chrome. Here recently tho for Mac the first time I fire up the browser it takes forever to load up completely. Probably a full minute. After the first use it loads up in seconds. This has frustrated me to the point where I went back to Safari.
Aa above, Firefox has stopped loading pages. Any pages.
All I get is a white box with 'Search Bookmarks & History' in the search box. (see pic)
I deleted everything FF related from my drive, as well as the app & started from scratch. Downloaded a fresh version from their website, installed, and still nothing. Tried the obvious & rebooted - nothing.
Attempted to create a shared folder today and almost had it working. After a discussion on here, discovered I can share libraries by using fast user switching.
Now when I load my Itunes, every song is blocked out "Unable to locate original file" when clicked on. I have tried Time Machine to no avail.
I'm using Automator to rename 200 odd pictures I have taken to the date the photograph was taken. I have tried renaming them, sorting them then reloading in other applications and trying to save. I see no option in changing the name to a new name, it just adds to the existing name and the filename is now massive. I did not copy originals. There must be something I can do. I tried a program called file merger (something like that) but same sort of thing happened. I have tried around ten fee downloads.
I tried to install Aperture, after I have done a complete uninstall, but the install process does not go any further than hitting the ok button after entering Name/Company/Serial. The rainbow colored circle remains on forever, so I have to force quit every time.
I wonder, if I deleted any important install files form OSX accidently?
What I did was uninstalling Aperture: I searched for 'Aperture' in the Finder window, and deleted all files which showed up!
I have been attempting to uninstall office 2008. I open the supplied uninstaller (RemoveOffice.app) and let it run for a couple of hours but it never completes it's search for versions of Office to uninstall. I searched around but I have been unable to come up with any answers.
