  • How to uninstall Virtual PC from mac Lion?

    Hi,
    I installed a Virtual PC (7 version) machine on my mac system yesterday but I found it cannot work because the compatible issue, my system is OS X mountain lion. It is always saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported". Now what I want is just uninstall Virtual PC from my mac and I do not want to bother using it. Because what bothers me is that the panel show in the Finder is not like previously shown. There are not the left favoraties column shown any more. I cannot go to the right folder to see files and it create so big trouble! I just want everything back. Another thing is that everytime when it starts up, there will be a box pop up saying like "the virtual machine cannot start up because the setting is not right" things like this. I guess the Virtual PC disorder some settings in OS X system.
    So I only want to unistall this Virtual PC. I guess it can not be remove by just simpy delete the icon in applciations, am I right? I find the "Uninstal Virtual PC" icon in the dmg package, but when I dounble click it, it also shows "You can't open the application "Uninstal Virtual PC" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"! which drives me crazy. Does anyone know about how to uninstall Virtual PC from mac for this situation? I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Amanda

    I just followed the instructions and clicked contunue.  I guess I just finished part 1, the installing part. The details are:
    section 1: installing virtual PC
    section 2: setting up virtual PC
    section 3: setting up windows
    In Section 1 you will install the Virtual PC for Mac application and supporting files. You will need to restart your computer at the end of Section 1.
    Section 2 covers personalizing Virtual PC for Mac and the installation of Windows.
    In Section 3, you will configure Windows."
    I clicked continue to let it install (section 1). After that, Mac restarted and it never asked me to set up virtual PC. All the problems aboved mentioned came up afterwards.
    Did I do anything wrong?
    Thanks.

  • How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    iTunes will only sync with Apple devices.  You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive.  You can drag files from iTunes to that drive.  You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ.  We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
    Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection.  Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store.  If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to uninstall antivirus program on Mac Air please

    Hi I have Mac Air OS X 10.9.4 and wanted to download McAfee antivirus program which requires removing my now defunct Sophos Antivirus.  I have removed all Sophos files (per my computer) into the trash but still am told McAfee cannot download because there is still an old incompatible antivirus program.  Please help.  I am now unprotected.  There is a Sophos "logo" in the tool bar but I don't know how to remove it...and it will not function when opened.  Thanks much!

    From Removal tools for Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac:
    In some situations you may be unable to run the built-in Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac (SAV for Mac) uninstaller.  This article provides a standalone tool to remove the installation of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac
    Common reasons for needing this tool are:
    If the product has been deleted (e.g., dragged to the Trash) rather than correctly uninstalled.
    Where the uninstaller is unable to run due to a corrupted receipt file.
    Download, expand, and run the applicable uninstaller for the Sophos product you installed.
    Do not install McAfee.

  • How do I disable/uninstall "Quick Search" in Status Bar?

    I want to disable/uninstall the "Quick Search" box that pops up in my Status Bar in Firefox 23.0.1 Right now I'm having an issue with an "erratic cursor" (Windows 8...YUCK!!!!). I start typing in the address bar in a new tab, or in Google search bar, and my cursor floats all over the screen without my knowledge. In the middle of typing my search, the cursor will somehow "trigger" the "Quick Search" box, and suddenly, my words end up being typed there. I found out that this "erratic cursor" is a documented issue with the Lenovo G585 laptop, and until I find out how to fix it, I REALLY want to stop "Quick Search" from opening unless I ask it to open.
    How do I stop "Quick Search" from opening?

    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX."

If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.

  • How to delete photos transferred from mac to iphone ?

    I have searched on Google "how to delete photos transferred from mac to iPhone"
    It returned the following result :
    To do so just:
    In iTunes select the device icon in the Devices List on the left. ...
    Choose Sync photos from, being iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements on a Windows PC.
    Choose Select Albums and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    But the problem here is that I have deleted the album which I synced via iTunes on Mac.
    Now how can deleted those synced photos from my iPhone ?

    No. Hook it up to any computer running iTunes. Make sure that you do not have any of the other tabs set up to sync, so that you do not overlay the info you have on your device for Music, Movies, etc., then go the the Music tab and un-check Sync Music. This should remove all sync'd music from your device. (this is presuming that the Mac you sync with does not have any photos you do want to sync with your device. If it does have any photos you want to sync, then instead of turning off the Music syncing altogether, you can just select what you do want to sync, and the sync will remove all other sync'd albums).

  • How do I quickly search a specific Instant AP or Mobility Access Switch on Aruba Central?

    Q: How do I quickly search a specific Instant AP or Mobility Access Switch on Aruba Central?
    A: Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor Instant Access Points (IAPs) and Mobility Access Switches.  Integrated in this web interface is a Search tex box, which can be used by an administrator to search for an IAP, Mobility Access Switch, client, notification event, network or labels.
    When you type a search string, the search function suggests matching keywords and allows you to automatically complete the search string entry. This option proves very handy when a user is not aware in which ap group, a client or IAP is part of.

    Ben,
    Unfortunately I can't post any VIs that would demonstrate the problem
    because the ActiveX components are confidential.  I'll try to develop
    my own ActiveX dll that will demonstrate it, but in the meantime, in
    hopes that another picture will help, I've attached an image of a block
    diagram (with some names changed to protect confidential information)
    of one of the lower level VIs from the hierarchy I posted.  In this
    example, the "Automation Refnum IN" is an input with a type definition
    linked to the strict typedef based on the ActiveX automation dll that
    has changed.  I updated that typedef, but as you can see the output to
    the "Class1" indicator is broken.  If I delete the "Class1" indicator
    and select Create->Indicator from the Class1 property node, and then
    wire the new "Class1" indicator to the connector pane, the VI is fixed
    -- at least at compile time.  In most cases there is also a runtime
    problem where the reference obtained by one of the intermediate
    property nodes is null, so the property or method node that uses it
    fails (e.g. "_VNManager.Networks" property returned is 0, so the
    "_Networks.Network1" property node fails).  To fix this problem, I have
    to delete the wires between the property nodes, and one by one select a
    different property/method, then select the correct property/method and
    re-wire.  There seems to be a bit of "jiggling the handle" to get it to
    work though.
    I don't know if the ActiveX developer changed anything in this class,
    but if he did, he didn't change the name of this class.  I would like
    to have to modify the VI only if a class, property or method has
    changed name or been removed.
    Does that all make sense?  Thanks for any pointers or help!
    Tom
