OS X :: Deleting Traces Of An Uninstalled Software

Feb 4, 2009

I had installed a file with .pkg extension. Later i wanted to uninstall it...so did a googling and found that drag-and-drop the folder to Trash Can would uninstall the software.

Though , later found that some traces are left behind and doing just drag-and-drop isn't sufficient sometimes.

OS X :: Deleting Traces Of Uninstalled Software From System?

Jul 14, 2007

I had installed a file with .pkg extension. Later i wanted to uninstall it...so did a googling and found that drag-and-drop the folder to Trash Can would uninstall the software.

Though , later found that some traces are left behind and doing just drag-and-drop isn't sufficient sometimes.

Came across AppCleaner(As mentioned in one of the articles in this forum).But this AppCleaner needs the folder to be there but i had already moved it to Trash and emptied the Trash too.

Now, how can i remove the traces left behind.(I think the Traces may be left behind after moving the folder to Trash Can is because...the second time when i tried to install the same software , in the "custom install" screen it said of Upgrade rather than Install)

I want to be all clean before i start installing the same software for the second time.

Applications :: Remove All Traces Of Photoshop CS4 & CS5 Off My MBP?

Jul 30, 2010

I'm having trouble installing any trial versions of PS on my macbook, it always says licensing has expired (even though this is the first time I have installed it on this laptop), I've had my laptop a few weeks from new.So I'm wondering whether it would be possible to remove all traces of PS on my laptop to sort of start from scratch again?..

OS X :: Unable To Remove IFlicks / Some Traces Remain In ITunes

Jan 26, 2010

System information:
MacBook Pro 2.226
10.6.4
iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
iFlicks_1.2.3_724.dmg

I recently downloaded iFlicks to try a different form of meta tagging.However I did not care for it too much.I only ran it from the mounted disk image (dmg) instead of actually installing it. I didnt actually encode/tag or use it render any of my files just messed around in the GUI.

So now whenever I open iTunes on this specific account regardless of what library I open (my internal/local machd>username>music>itunes) or my external libraries the script icon for that plug-in is still there and I have no idea how to get it off my system, not jsut remove the icon but get the **** application completely off my system.

i've ran disk permissions repair under the master/admin account as my current user account is standard.

MacBook Pro :: Keyboard Leave Traces On Screen Surface / Having High Pressure On Computer

Dec 16, 2010

I'm planning to buy a 17" matt MBP 2010. So far I've used a few laptops which I carry in a backpack (Lowepro Computekker Plus AW) together with cameras and lenses. Each one but the last one - Lenovo Thinkpad - had the same problem; beacause there is high pressure on the computer (glass weights over 12kgs), the keyboard keys left traces on he screen surface - not just dust - the plastic from keys was on the screen for good. The Lenovo is the firsts one not affected by that.

Can anyone who uses this MBP 17" matt 2010 (and treats it as bad as me) tell me how it looks in this case?

MacBook Pro :: IDisplay Uninstalled - Still Think It Has A 2nd Monitor

Jan 12, 2011

So, a while back I decided to try iDisplay, for my iPad, but I was not happy with the quality so I decided to uninstall it from both my iPad and my MacBook Pro. However, my Mac still thinks it has a second display. If I move my mouse to the left side of the screen (where I, before, had my iPad set up) the mouse will disappear. I can move windows over there and everything. If I open Spaces, it shows a second, smaller display next to my normal display option.

Applications :: Kile On OS X (Natively) But Can It Be Uninstalled?

Jun 27, 2008

I've been installing software on my new MacBook and have gotten to the point where I'd like to install the KDE LaTeX Editor (Kile). I found a page which explains how to install Kile on OS X natively without using X11... but the installation looks rather involved. (Perhaps overly-so.)

Before I dive into such an installation, I'd like to make sure that there's a way to undo things in case they don't work out. In particular, I'm unfamiliar with commands like "svn checkout [URL]Given how involved the installation instructions appear, is there a way to uninstall a full or partial installation without going through all this fuss? I'm worried that I'll end up with KDE taking up tons of space without Kile even working.

On the other hand, I've been having a hard time looking for an alternative to Kile. TeXMaker seems to be the closest product, but it lacks some features that I've gotten used to (auto-complete, customizable highlighting, auto-indent, for example). TextMate is somewhat closer, but it's commercial-ware and still doesn't provide the same feature set as Kile. I'll be working with large multi-file projects, so having a good editor is important for me... but I'm concerned that the "Run Kile Natively" option is a bit too kludged together for someone like me who isn't too comfortable with OS X.

Alternately, I suppose I could install an X11 version... but I don't know where to find instructions to do this. Also, I heard that the X11 version doesn't have copy-and-paste compatibility with the rest of OS X. (Is this true with the latest build??)

OS X :: Finding Auto App To Clean Uninstalled App Pref

Jan 3, 2009

Is there an app that cleans up old uninstalled apps preferences from the system and User Library's? I already use OnyX, MainMenu, XSlimmer and other various apps to keep my MAC running at best performance. But when I browse my Library's I see preferences for apps I don't have anymore. Instead of manually going through them all is there an automated app that looks in my Applications folder and then my Library and figures out what should stay and what should go. Also looking in /Library/Receipts/ there are also pkg files left by uninstalled apps. I know CCleaner does something similar with the Windows Registry. What MAC App will clean these left behind files?

Windows On Mac :: Uninstalled A Firewall In 7, But Websites Are Still Being Blocked?

Nov 3, 2009

So like an idiot I decided to give Peerguardian another chance after a two year split from it. I junked it last time because Hotmail and MSN messenger, along with Windows Updates were among the things blocked which made it useless to me. I assumed with the time passed they would have addressed this somehow by creating a way for allow lists to be easily created but they didnt. Anyway now for the issue. I completely uninstalled PeerGuardian from both my Mac's Windows partition and other PC downstairs, however the sites are still being blocked. No PG related services running in the background, and everything uninstalled seemingly the way it should have.

OS X :: Uninstalled Growl - Icon Still Shown In System Preference

Sep 14, 2007

So I installed Adium and as part of the package it installed Growl. I've decided that I prefer not to use Adium so I dragged the application from my Applications folder to the Trash. My question is how do I remove Growl from my system? The icon is still showing up in System Preferences. This is one caveat I have over Windows. Apple should make an uninstaller to completely remove all necessary components.
