Deleting extra, unwanted programs

Hi guys, first time posting!
I have 1 GB RAM and I'm wondering whether I can get rid of any useless programs/processes so that I have more memory available?
I have noticed a lot of processes in task manager...
windows also says that an ATI (graphics?) driver is hindering start up and shut down.
How do I know which things I can delete, also how would I do this??
Cheers guys!

In my opinion you can disable follow applications (remove check mark):
Google update
BT stack (you can start it when you use BT)
Norton online backup (check if you really need it)
Message centre
Tosreeltime monitor
Adobe reader & manager
Tos eco utility (if you dont use it)
Adobe acrobat
All other additional applications that you dont need can be disabled.
For instance I have also disabled:
Toshiba zooming utility
Toshiba HDD protection (I use my notebook on the desk only)
Toshiba notebook registration
Toshiba service station
Toshiba HDD SSD allrt
Toshiba PC health monitor
Toshiba webcam application
TRDCR Reminder
I dont need it at all.
Bye

    Hi,
    YOu can go transaction SE80, Choose package $TMP.
    And click Display.
    Here you will find all your Z programs. Just right click and delete them.
    If you are using Latest versions(I think from SAP 4.7D), you can even select all by pressing mouse key and right click and can able to delete multiple items at single time.

    If his Gmail account is under the Gmail app and press the app until it wiggles then press the extra deleted. If this account is under the Apple email and then you can go to Settings, mail contacts calendars and then select the account and remove it.

  • Delete An Unwanted Screensaver

    Hi,
    How do I "delete" an unwanted screensaver?
    I can't remove it from the System Preferences. And do not know where and how to delete the "installed programs".
    Thanks.
    Ed
    ps. I downloaded and installed the screensaver from the following website. But it cannot run...
    SWF Screensaver for Mac
    http://www.video-flash.de/swf-screensaver-for-mac/
    swf-screensaver-mac.dmg.sparseimage

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Screen Savers
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove the unwanted screen saver, if it's there. You may be prompted for your login password.
    If it's not there, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Screen Savers

  • Keep receiving a pop up from McAfee that states "Potentially Unwanted Program Blocked"

    I'm very new to owning and operating my own home computer.   Internet just recently installed.   While trying to find a safe "Minecraft" game for my grandson to pay, I now receive the message from McAfee that states "Portentially Unwanted Program Blocked".     What to do    What to do

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum.
    Most probably when you wanted to download the game, it was bundled with malicious/unwanted software, thus stopped by McAfee.
    Here you can find some information about the types of the viruses/malware/Internet attacks:
    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN186&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=141592...
    If you continue getting messages from McAfee that virus or unwanted program is present or deleted, double check with different utilities because McAfee may be picking-up only part of the story (aka undetected malware)
    Read this article and perform STEP 2 , 3 and 4  only   http://malwaretips.com/threads/how-to-remove-trojans-spyware-rogues-and-other-malware.6941/
    As for safe Minecraft game, there are literally hundreds of variants. Search for them using Google/Bing or ask in a gaming forum for recommendation. Use one from reputable sources.

  • How do I uninstall unwanted programs?

    Is there an easy way to quickly uninstall unwanted programs?
    A few months ago, I installed a program called Plaxo, but after a short while I decided I didn´t want to use it any more.
    The trouble is, it simply won´t go away!
    Every time I start up the computer, I get an info that there is a new upgrade for the program - how do I get rid of it?
    Kind regards
    Willi Prochnow Sletten

    If the application did not come with an uninstaller, I use a program like AppCleaner (free).
    It will usually delete .plist files and cache files that were installed with the Application. This is useful if you don't know where to look.
    Just dragging the App to the trash is often not enough as you may not be aware of all the support files that were installed in caches, preferences, application support.
    If I no longer have the disc image of the program, I will search for it on google, download the installer again and look for an uninstall option. If there isn't one, I use AppCleaner.

  • When I enter an event in iCal, soon thereafter multiple other "New Event" notices (one to four) appear for the same day. If I delete these unwanted "New Event" notices, they later reappear -- sometimes multiplying like rabbits. Any suggestions?

    Well, using iMovie to rearrange clips in a mini DV video edited by another program is extremely time consuming. I found a workaround. It still takes time, but it's much faster than rearranging the clips using iMovie.
    The workaround is as follows. Bring up Finder and go to the directory where your event's clips are stored (typically ~/Movies/iMovie Events/<name of event>). It helps to setup Finder to be in Cover Flow mode, so you can see the beginning of each clip. Then, sort the files in ascending order by the 'Date Modified' field. This makes Finder sort the files in the same order that they were imported from the mini DV tape. Clips with timecodes have the naming convention "clip-<year>-<month>-<day> hour;minute;second.dv". Clips without timecodes use another naming convention. With the files sorted by "Date Modified" in Finder, rename clips as needed so that the date/time in their file names are in ascending order. Note: when you rename a file, you need to restart iMovie. I suggest not running iMovie while renaming files.
    I believe the file date/timestamp is only accurate to the second. Occasionally, there may be a couple of clips that have the same date/timestamp. This may cause the ordering to not be correct. The best way to find these is through iMovie. To modify a file's date/time, right click on the clip in the event in iMovie, and then select "Adjust Clip Date and Time...".
    So, this workaround is a lot easier and faster than trying to rearrange things from scratch in iMovie. But it's still time consuming. Creating a project out of an already edited video should take less than 5 minutes (not counting import time), but that's not the case.
    I submitted an enhancement request to Apple asking if they can add an option to sort an event's clips in the order that they were imported by iMovie. Those who have the same issue as me, I suggest you submit an enhancement request as well.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • How do you delete extra "sheets" in numbers? Everytime I start a new document I end up numerous sheets.

    How do you delete extra "sheets in Numbers program? Everytime I start a new document it adds extra sheets..

    Hi Beast,
    You might find it easier to duplicate the whole doc and delete the sheets you don't want. Otherwise you are copying and pasting tables from each sheet.

  • Why does Adobe have to try and foist unwanted programs?

    I have just had to tiptoe my way through updating Adobe Flash Player. Had I not chosen the Advanced option of downloading and installing the update, I would have had my browser changed for me (plus other anomalies, it appeared). Thinking I had navigated and avoided this pitfall, there were at least another six or eight programs which would have been installed had I clicked on the Accept button (which appeared to be simply agreeing to the Conditions, but weren't).
    I am furious at this blatant attempt to install 'foistware' on my computer. Why would a, presumably responsible, company feel the need to stoop this low? I can imagine there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people now wondering how they can get rid of these quite unnecessary programs and changes to their computers.

    I DID get the 'middle pane' - which I am very used to seeing and, as always, unchecked the box to receive the unwanted programs (I already have Google Chrome AND an excellent anti-virus program - thanks all the same!).
    But it then went on to offer me additional programs. I did not take any screenshots as I was not expecting all this palaver. And I don't remember what the programs were that I was offered either. I just wanted to get on with the download and get on with my business. I was getting very frustrated though. As I said earlier, underneath the small dialog window which was offering these programs (and which, if I remember aright, was inside the main window) - the "Accept" and "Decline" buttons were still visible BUT it looked as if the "Accept" button was the only active one (being highlighted) whereas the "Decline" button was greyed out. And, as I said before, it 'looked' as if one needed to click the "Accept" button to agree to the Conditions of downloading (which is quite normal, as you know).
    But being of a wary nature and hopefully not as gullible as some, I tentatively clicked on the "Decline" button anyway - and it worked. The offer of those one or two extra programs was then replaced by one or two more - in the same type of small window. Having learned my lesson, I continued to decline and eventually got to the end. But this experience did make me feel most irritated, as I indicated in my original post. It should not be necessary to be expected to jump through all these misleading hoops just to update an every day program, should it?

  • What does Mac OSX use to get rid of unwanted programes?

    you know how windows has Control pannel to remove unwanted programs, what does a mac have, because ive randomly lost 38GB of hard disc in about 7 days

    Most applications can be removed by dragging their icon to the trash (and deleting it). Some apps also put data into a folder in /Library/Application Support/ or username/Library/Application Support/ named after the application or the company that developed it.
    If the application was installed from a .pkg file there's a utility called "Desinstaller" (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13955) that will remove all files that came with the application. Be warned though, that deleting the wrong package, could mess up your system.
    Some apps also come with their own uninstaller.
    Another thing you could/should do, is remove cache files and stuff. Use a utility like OnyX (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070) for this.
    Finally, removing the "Universal" part of your applications can free space as well. The utility TrimTheFat (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28882) will remove those parts of your apps that are not needed on your computer.
    Hope that helps

    i use migrate assistant to move files from my old pc to the new Mac , but it creates the user account. How can i delete the unwanted user account.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

  • How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'?

    How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'? I created this in error and cannot find a way to remove it. Thanks for all help.

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
    I suggest you update your profile to show your current version of OS X. Click on "Your Stuff" at the top right of this page & choose profile (bottom of the list) then click edit.

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.
