I have an older MacBook with only 120 gp hard drive and am running out of room. I don't use some of the programs installed and would like to remove them but many don't have an uninstall program. Is there any trick to ensure all elements of a program are removed from the system?
I rarely install 3rd party programs on my Macbook Pro. However when there's something I want to try out I will. Most dont have an uninstaller. What is the best way to uninstall a program in Leopard?
When I try to uninstall a program using CCleaner I get this message "You do not have privileges to perform this operation". I am the only user on this computer.
So far I haven't seen any uninstall options in all the software that I've installed, so if I were to uninstall programs that are linked to the Start Up list, how should I do it? Can I just delete them from the HD? Because for Windows, messing with files that are related to the registry or system can really cause big problems for the computer.
in windows i had to uninstall programs i did now want to use any more, but i cant find the uninstall button to remove a couple of programs i dont need anymore in my imac.
I have a question about using my new samsung tv as a monitor for my macbook. I have all the cables and such and my TV reads the computer. It actually shows the desktop background, mouse, and the toolbar on the tv... BUT....when i try and open a program such as safari or itunes it does not display the program on the monitor but rather on my macbook screen. It shows the program open on the tv monitor but it shoots off the screen and then opens on the macbook screen.
Also the mouse disappears from the tv monitor screen on the left side only, and when it does it becomes visible back on the macbook screen! Any tips or suggestions on how to get the programs to show up on the monitor instead of the macbook screen?
I have been using Mac for quite a while and I've always deleted apps just one way. But I never knew it was officially the 'right' way to uninstall things...
This is what I do:
I go to the app that I want to delete, right click on it and click on 'show package contents', then i just delete the whole "contents" folder. The desktop icon goes white so I just drag it to the trash and that's it!
Is this the right way to uninstall? Or does this cause small files to still linger somewhere on my computer?
By accident, I have recently installed this software called MacKeeper. It has been hijacking my computer since this morning. I am new user of the Macbook Air. uninstall this from my computer!!
I LOVE the concept of a program being contained in a single 'file' that you install by dragging into the applications folder.
Now that I am used to this setup of one file per program... Office 11 and Photoshop are driving me nuts... EVERY other program has a single icon in the applications folder... Office has like 12, I hate it!
I've uninstalled, I think... but I still see icons and crap everywhere (documents, etc) any help REMOVING all of it?
i am knew with mac and i am trying to uninstall some applications with ccleaner, but then i get the message that "i don´t have the privilege to perform this operation¨...

I am a new Mac user. I bought a used Mac with VMware Fusion installed so I could use QuickBooks. I no longer need to use QB. The Fusion is taking up too much of my hard drive. Would like to uninstall it.
When i click on the uninstaller this message pops up "you can't open the application HP uninstaller because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I no longer have this printer so I want this software uninstalled.
