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.
View 5 RepliesA few months ago I installed a sync program on my G4 PPC running OSX to try and sync a cell phone I no longer have. It never did work for the phone. So, I found the file under applications and drug it to the trash thinking it was gone. Well it wasn't. Now every time I plug in my ipod it pops up "Sync alert". It wants me to sync my ipod with it but I don't want to. I don't even remember what the program is called, but it does not seem to be showing up in the finder or in the spotlight. I want this program completely gone, I have no use for it.

I have downloaded a photo manipulation programme to see if I like it - but I don't. How do I uninstall it? In Windows there is the control panel with the uninstall feature, but I cannot find anything similar in my Mac (OS X 10.6.4)
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter 20+ years of Windows, I finally got my 1st Mac Pro 2 days back. Everything went smoothly including installing 4x750 Samsung Spinpoint drives from newegg, 4 GB of extra memory from OWC, Raid set up, and so on. For instance, I want to uninstall a program that I installed as I want to reinstall it. In Windows, you've this wonderful control panel that has everything. Mac's Utility folder has some stuff, but not what I am looking for. I love the right-click mouse feature in Windows; can't seem to have that work on my Mac. So, is there any kind of resource available which lists everything that the OS does without any pretty pictures or over-simplifications? The 81-page manual on Apple site didn't do much good to me. And, how do you uninstall a program? Throwing the .app file in the trash didn't help.

This is a program that I recently added, have used as needed, and would like to unload from the computer. In Windows, I would simply go to Control Panel, go to Install/Uninstall, select the program of interest, and uninstall it. Is there a similar process here?

I am new to using mac and just got a new HP printer to replace my old hp printer. If I understand correctly I click and drag my current HP printer file/icon to the trash and then search for additional files using applef to delete the rest. Is this right? Am I missing any other crucial steps? If the brand is the same do I need to remove the additional files?
Also and this may be a stupid question, but how do i make sure that my computer does not recognize the old printer for my wireless network when I set up my new one?

I want to capture selections on my screen and add comments. Is there a program out there that will allow me to do that? I don't like the "grab it" program because it saves the captured file in a Tiff format instead of a Jpeg format.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will allow me to specify which folders I want to copy to my external drive, updating existing files within it and copying new ones.
I don't want to backup settings, my whole harddrive nor make a bootable backup. Just something to backup what I want to backup and where.
Not sure if Time Machine can do that, but it wants me to reformat my external before I can even find out..and considering how much is on there, I really don't want to have to remove that all elsewhere while doing so. [Don't think I could anyway, none of my internal drives have that much space.]
So, does anyone know of a relatively painless backup app that could do simply what I want? Doesn't sound all that complicated in comparison to some of the more convoluted backup apps I keep finding.
I am trying to switch my email program from Thunderbird to the mac email program Mail.Thunderbird has been playing up a lot recently and am tired of the glitches.
I have all the correct server settings etc and succesfully imported my mailboxes. The problem is that when I send an email it isn't from the right email address?? Is this a Mail problem or smth to do with my settings? I'm with Virgin media and have a separate set of email address through my website for my business so my email address are through freeola that I am using through Thunderbird.I'm sorry if this all sounds very stupid but I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out where I have gone wrong!
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.

View 1 Replies View Relateddoes 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.

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.
there is no uninstall option and i don't want the icon there if i'm not going to use it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
