How can I get MacKeeper out of my Mac machine & others

ist:  MacKeeper Helper got into my machine trash and obstructed me from emptying my trash, which is accumulating. Each time I empty my trash it says 'Mackeeper Helper is in use'  Why did it want to get into my trash and how did it? I downloaded MacKeeper in April of 2013 and later never touched it. I did not understand what it was for and don't need it. I am a 80+ senior and very very hard of hearing who couldn't understand all this new technology. I just wanted a computer to communicate with the few friends that I have. I have other problems too.
2nd:  I think it was in 2009 or 2010 (the time when the large desktop computer just came on sale), and added another year of warranty and also joined the class to learn about computer. When the warranty expired at end of 2012 Google popped up asking for the password of IMAP & SMTP. Nobody told me that I should remember that, and so got into trouble. I, having no one to help, went on the net to search for help about restoring my SMTP (outgoing mail) password. Mac Technical Support 1st it was under the name of USFIX TECHNICAL SERVICES (I paid $99.99. ("payment" <[email protected]>. When I called again it came under a new name of "Pairsys Inc" <[email protected]> telephone #855-786-4335 I paid $299.99 for 1 year. But in October the MacKeeper got into my trash and the SMTP password was refused again. I can only receive mail but cannot send out.
3rd. : Mail & MacKeeper wanted access to my keylink password, which I never knew I had one, and one day mistakenly clicked on the keylink (out of curiosity) to see what it contains and locked it..
Now I am in a mess. It all started with the SMTP password.

2. You have been the victim of a scam. Those companies have nothing to do with Apple. You should stick to Apple Stores or authorised Apple repair centres.
3. Resetting or changing a password:
For Snow Leopard or earlier:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it is the Keychain password that needs resetting:

  • What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
    How much RAM installed?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
    Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
    These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
    They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

    The charger that came with my iPhone 5c is now stuck in the USB port of my car. How can I get it out without damaging either?

    Use this article: If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    Best of luck!  And since you didn't back up your data previously, all your data is lost.  Make sure to use the free backup services of iCloud or iTunes.

    Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
    Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

    The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
    I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
    I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

  • I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??

    I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??  I tried a little shaking, and restarting and holding the mouse pad down.  I heard the spinning but still cannot eject or read the disc.

    Short of taking it to a repair shop for extraction,  you can shut it down and try shaking the devil out of it.

    It's rather simple. Buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. And then a HDMI cable long enough to link your computer the distance between both devices.
