how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner.

Cannot update iPhoto that was preinstalled to my MacBook pro

Hi there,
I baought my MacBook Pro and iPhoto was preinstalled.
Now, when i open the program, always ask me for update, but it finds nothing to update.
What can I do, in order to finally update it?
Thanks in advance.

When i open the app says:
"An iPhoto update is available. Would you like to open Software update?"
If I press "Open software update" the App store.app is open but find nothing to update.
This hapens again and again...
My Mac initial has Leopard and I upgraded to Lion. Dont know if this has anything to do.

How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?!!

How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?
It does not play nice with a very important piece of software I am using.
The other post on how to "uninstall" does not apply to my situation. I tried it and got this error when using the 7.0.1 Reinstaller:
"Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software"
Help please.

Flash support is disabled (by default) in version 7.1.3.
To turn it back on simply open the QT Sys Prefs Pane/Advanced and check the box to "Enable Flash".
Quit and restart QT for these changes to take effect.
QuickTime only supports Flash (.swf files) that are "published" as version 5, or lower.

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

I purchased a used iphone4 and the phone displays the previous owners apple id and prompts me for the previous owners password. how do i get rid of his info....and install my own apple id number?

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

How do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone so I can transfer photos from the phone

how do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone to I can transfer photos from the phone

you could try this:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
sync your music , photos, videos, etc
hope one of these works for you

I have bought a second hand ipod 4, but it has the previous owners details all over it, for example it has her email address when trying to update facebook. How do I update it with my email address?

I have just purchased a second hand ipod touch 4. The previous owners details are still in it, so for example when I try to update the facebook app it asks me for the previous owners password, and shows the previous owners email address. How do I change it all to my details? I have already synced it with itunes and all of my music is now in it, and it's also renamed on the itunes page when I attach the ipod to my PC. I've also been in to the 'info' page, 'Advanced' and then 'Replace information on this ipod with mail accounts from this computer' then finally 'apply', but it still has the other persons ID.

I've answered my own question! I now understand that you can't use apps as they are always going to be linked to the original owner. I've since deleted the app and downloaded it again, and all is now well!

How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

If you are referring to Activation Lock, the password for the Apple ID signed into the device is required, there is no way around this. If you do not have the information and cannot contact the previous owner, the device is useless.

HT1212 I bought an Ipod gen 5 off craiglist, Im trying to erase and reset the settings. it asks for the previous owners password, how can I reset it without the password?

I just bought an IPod Gen 5 off craigslist. Im trying to erase and reset it, but it wont let me. It wants the previous owners password. Also, I cant log out of their Icloud, and log in under mine.
How can I erase and reset all settings to origional?

Either get the ID and password or return for a refund. Makybe the iPod is stolen or lost

Can't update iPhoto and Kindle apps because they need the previous owners Apple ID

I was recently given a Mac Pro (which I absolutely LOVE). iphoto and Kindle both need to be updated however because they are under the previous owners Apple ID I have no idea how to do it w/out contacting the previous owner?

The apps are licensed for only computers owned by the previous owner. You should delete them from your computer. Find each app in Launch Pad, click and hold on it until it wiggles and an "X" appears next to it, then click the "X".
You can then purchase any you need with your account. Kindle is free, iPhoto is only $14.99
