Deleting applications not in applications folder

I have download a small program called TVU player and wish to delete it but it is not in the applications folder where I could simply drag it to the trash but it seems spread around. It seems to be mostly in User/shared/TVU networks. How can I safely delete it?

According to the package, it installs in a tvutuneworks folder in the Applications folder and a webplugin in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. There is also a library added to support tcl in sqlite, but you can leave that alone.
If you say the tvutuneworks folder was in your Shared folder, that is likely because you chose the Shared folder as the install location.

  • Time machine deleted applications folder after restoring files

    my macbook 13 inch black would not start up. grey progress bar then would shutdown.
    Used time machine to restore my files. Time machine has deleted my applications folder after restoring files. how do I get them back.

    Depending on how you restored your data, Time Machine may not recognize your previous backups as belonging to the same machine. It will then delete as many snapshots as necessary to make room for a full backup of all files. Once the snapshots are deleted, they can't be recovered.
    Another time, when you erase the boot volume, restore from Time Machine in Setup Assistant so that your backup history will be preserved.
    As this experience shows, you need more than one backup to be safe. I suggest you start a new backup set on another, larger, external drive.

  • Can't delete application folder?

    To Whom It May Concern,
    Last night, I installed a software just to try it out, but it was having problems running under 10.2.8, so I decided to uninstall it and load the beta instead. I loaded the beta version, but it was not performing well either. I decided to delete the folder, but I couldn't. It said, "This operation could not be completed because this item is owned by root." Please help! The computer I'm using is an iMace flat panel, superdrive, 512Mb, G4 800Mhz, 60 Gig drive. Also, I can't seem to verify, or repair permissions using Disk Utility.
    Sincerely,

    Hello Arnold,
    Of course we are speaking here of the software you just tried, not the whole "Applications" folder:
    Force-deleting files or folders that refuse to let you do it as usual, can be done using such utility as TinkerTool System for example (go to section Files > Force Delete).
    The best is to get rid of every hidden files it could have left on your hard drive in some cases. Use the Finder's Find (⌘F) feature to find them (search for visible AND invisible files) and drag them to the Trash, directly from the Search Results window.
    If you use Tiger, Find (⌘F) won't find them all: you'll have to use EasyFind.
    Delete only the files that really belong to your trial software: be careful as sometimes names are close, but may belong to your system...
    (It would be easier to simply name which software was it that refused to be deleted?)
    Good luck!

  • Deleted Applications folder

    Hi, I deleted the Applications folder, even from my Trash. Help!

    You probably need to re-install. Do an Archive and Install Preserving Users and Network Settings. Follow this article for an explanation of what it does --
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545
    Click the blue Archive and Install link in that article (2nd section) to go to the article that tells you how to do it. Make sure you backup any data first. An Archive and Install Preserving should not erase any of your data, but better safe than sorry.

  • Deleted applications folder in dock - how do I get it back??

    Hello
    The applications stack in my dock has disappeared, can you help me get it back? If i drag in an alias of the applications folder it opens in finder, but i want to have it like the default.
    thanks all

    If you put your Applications folder, not an alias, in the Dock (on the right part of the dock, you should get a stack of the applications popping up when you click on it. If you dropped an alias, this is no good, it will open Applications folder.

  • I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

    The message box you are seeing is a standard message that is always displayed when Captivate detects that you've added a link in your project to a file
    outside the project.  Even after you HAVE copied the PDF into the publish folder, this message will continue to display at each publish. If you know the file is in the correct place, just ignore it.
    Another issue I've spotted when looking at the name of the PDF is that you seem to have spaces in the name.(BBO User Guide.pdf)  This is likely to break the link in an HTTP LMS web environment.  Make sure you either eliminate the spaces or use underscore characters instead.

  • App Not In Applications folder, but App Store says it's installed.

    Anybody have any ideas on this?
    One of my apps is missing from my Applications folder, so I went into the app store to try to re-download it, however the application store says the App in question is installed...
    There is a 'free' version of the same app in the app store, so I decided to try downloading it, which works, but again the full version of the App is still missing...

    Neither of these ideas apply...
    Prior to exausting everything I could think of, the free version was not installed, and in fact had never been 'purchased' (it did not show up in my purchases list, and the button on it read 'free' instead of 'install')...
    The first thing I did was a spotlight search for JPEGmini, with no results comming up.
    I then went into the App Store which is when I found that it was reported as installed.
    I proceeded to use the Terminal app to try and determine if a hidden flag had been set on the app in the Applciatons folder (rendering it present but invisible), but was able to confirm there was no applicable hidden item...
    It was then that I 'bought' and downloade the free version, just to see if it would work.  It worked as expected, and even upon deleting the app the 'INSTALLED' indicator in the App Store went back to an 'INSTALL' button...
    I've since removed the free version but am still unable to install the full version...

  • I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

    It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
    The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
    My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
    This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
    What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
    Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
    I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
    However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
    I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

    Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
    It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
    I'm back to normal again.

  • Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?

    Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?
    I recently (after upgrading to Mavericks) installed Pages 5.0 (iWorks ’09 with Pages 4.3 was already installed on my Macbook). When I try to open a pages document, I sometimes get the message 'you need a newer version of Pages to open this document.'  When I ctrl-click the pages document and select the program Pages 5.0, the document opens in Pages '05. Other Pages documents open in Pages 4.3. How do I select Pages 5.0 as default program to open my documents? And how do I do that, since pages preferences do not give that possibility? And can I delete pages 4.3 after making pages '05 the default. Or is there another way to solve this?
    kind regards, Sadrach

    Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
    This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update. Others have renamed the '09 iWork apps & set them as default.

  • Photoshop CC is not in my Applications folder

    I am running on mac. CC Desktop says Photoshop CC is installed. But it is not availble in Applications. The older versions of CS4 and CS5.1 are still there though.
    Any help to solve this would be appreciated.
    Joe

    Thanks to Kulldeep and Romsinha for replying.
    I have followed all the suggestions including deleting the .odb file with out success.
    I used the cleanup tool and then downloaded the CC desktop which went fine as did downloading Acrobat XI Pro.
    The download of Photoshop CC got to about 80% and failed - in my Applications folder there is an Adobe Photoshop CC folder with a broken app in it.
    Any ideas guys?

  • Applications not in 'Home' folder

    For some reason all of my apps are in the sub-folder, 'Applications'. The main 'App' folder is empty. I don't know how this happened. Is there an easy way to move/copy to main folder?
    Thanks!

    Is one of the Application folders in your Home folder and one in the root level (/Applications) of your drive. Usually, Applications are installed to /Applications, not in Users/yourname/Applications.
    Or, is it a subfolder of your Applications folder? In other words /Applications/Applications.
    First let's copy those folders to removable media for safety, if you don't already have a backup.
    Either way you need to check carefully which Applications are real and which are alias. The is an arrow icon on aliases and when you "Get Info" (command - i) or just Preview in Finder, the "kind" will be "alias". Round up the "real" Apps and put them in /Applications. When all are copied into Applications, delete Users/yourname/Applications.

  • Avoid users to run applications not in "Applications" folder

    Hi,
    I am looking for a solution to avoid users (they do not have admin rights and they are AD accounts) to run applications they download from the web.
    If they download a dmg file they can run the application (app file) inside the dmg without having to install it.
    For security reasons, I would like to stop that.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Firefox won't install on my Mac, it just finishes the installation then does not appear in my Applications folder.

    Firefox offered to create a new profile for me, but took forever to do so so eventually I had to shut off the computer. In restarting, initially Firefox would not open as "Profile could not be found". Having moved Firefox to my trash folder, when I attempt to install Firefox again, it completes the download, then does not appear in my Applications folder.

    This is likely caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is not present on the hard drive.
    *Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
    You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
    *Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    *Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    *Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 29.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
