How do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

I recently switch to Apple. can someone tell me how to how do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

As mecklists indicated, just removing the "icon" from the Application folder is all you need to do in most cases (this is THE beating argument for OS X in my mind compared to Windows with its complex uninstallers; and then still having dozens of registry entries and files spread over the entire harddisk).
However if you want to get sure that any and all files have been removed, you may look at /Library/Application Support folders available under your user's home and the startup volume's home directory.
You may simply look for files and folders that are related to the software you have deleted. Anyway, be careful doing so. Not that you mistakenly remove files associated with other applications.

    Since the "FREAK OpenSSL bug" in the Mac which has been making the news over the last couple of days doesn't apply to Firefox but does affect Safari and other Mac browsers, you might want to hold off uninstalling for a bit. But if you must, drag the Firefox application to the Trash. Next, locate your Firefox profile in /Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles and drag that to the Trash too. Then empty the Trash.

  • How do I uninstall a program from a macbook pro

    I am trying to install the update for WOW but it won't install,  On my desktop I had to totally uninstall WOW and do a clean install from the MoP DVD's and figured since the same issue with installing it was the same on desktop and macbookpro uninstalling WOW would be the best way to go.   Help??  If I drag the WOW file to the trash will that do it or am I missing something else.  I have never uninstalled any program from the Macbook as yet.

  • How can i migrate my software from a macbook pro to a mini server

    So i have bought a new Mac Mini Server but now i want to migrate my MacBook Pro User Profile, Data Files and Software to it. yet it would appear that there is no migration agent to use which implies that Apple miss an important part of the Mac experience.
    So if any body out there has a solution i would welcome your input. i had thought about using the push option from the MacBook Pro migration Agent but not sure if that would work.
    Charles

    Well OK you can not use the migration assistant because there isn't one for SL Server and it looks that if you want to migrate from a MBP to server as a user you have 2  choices manually move the item you want to an identical user on the server or create the user and bild the software and move the data required.
    how ever i have had a result in using the 2nd drive for just SL, when I spoke to the tech at the apple store yesterday he said use a retail copy of OSX SL which wont boot but apply update 10.6.8 combo and the system will then boot and bingo you will have a dual boot machine. "Ho No you Won't" firstly once you run the install from the CD which has to be triggered from Server the machine will reboot after copying the packages to the new drive but does not run them to build the SL system so you have nothing to install the update onto hence doesn't work.
    Here's the suprise I had a copy of my MBP on a spare hdd produced by Carbon Copy, so I attached this the a FireWire case to the mini held the alt key down and powered up. much to my suprise the mini booted into the external drive hold my MBP copy of SL. from then on in it was just a case of copying the drive using carbon copy to the 2nd drive on the mini and hey presto reboot and i now have both server and  and non server mini in one box.

  • How Do I Uninstall Cuda Driver from my Macbook Pro

    Hi Guys,
    I recently installed the Cuda Driver for my Mac because I was having problems playing Diablo 3, and later, working on Google Chrome.
    The common problem is that I'll get a black screen, my music starts looping, there's nothing I can do but to hard reset my MBP.
    It's a common problem as I've done my search online and always read about this happening on the MBP, so I've been desperately trying to find ways to stabilized the performance of my MBP.
    I've got update combos installed, and checked for latest software updates and I read somewhere that you should not install other graphic drivers into your MBP and that is why I've opted to remove it. I simply went to my "System Preferences", right click on the Cuda icon and remove it from my "Preference Pane", does that mean I have successfully unistalled Cuda?
    I wanted to ask your opinion on this as I've been experiencing these crashes alot more frequently lately. If I were to bring this in to a Mac Shop and get a diagnostics run, what could be the potential problem and how much may the repairs cost? Is this a Logic Board problem or a Graphics Card problem?
    I've got a Mac OS X 10.6.8, running on an Intel Core i& 2.66 GHz chip, with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, I feel it's still good enough to use and I don't see the need to change to a brand new MBP.
    Thanks for reading this and I appreciate any input or help you may offer me.
    Regards,

  • How do I uninstall MS office from my macbook air?

    I recently installed MS Office onto my Macbook Air.  Previously I have been using Apple products (Pages etc) but this was proving unhelping for collaborating with Windows based colleagues.  I have used OUtlook for sometime so the additions were XLS, PPT and Word.  These do not launch and indeed I cannot open any legacy document on my computer.  Grateful for advice.  Ideally I would like to be able to use word etc on my macbook.

    When I click on any of the software icons in the dock or from the Applications folder, a text box comes up to say the programme has encountered a problem and needs to close.  There is also some text about reporting the problem etc.  This has affected Word, Excel and PPT with no improvement.
    I'm sure the programmes should and can work, but not unfortunately in this instance.

  • How do I uninstall Office 2011 from my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    I wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry if it's in the wrong place!
    I recently installed Office 2011 on my Air, using the last licence available to us. I've just found out that my university is giving all students free office for Mac / PC. So, obviously, I'd like to take my existing version off my Air, install my 'free' version and hopefully reclaim one of the licences (so my husband can have Office on his!)
    Any ideas?

    Here are the directions, don't skip any steps.
