Applications Not deleting
I downloaded an application called Plex and then deleted it. Now whenever i restart my computer or log into my account this application always opens first and it is really annoying. Thanks for the help, Is their any way to fully delete this or stop it from starting when I log in.
I don't use Flex, but I have a feeling how you can delete the application.
Go to System Preferences/Users and Group, and click Login Items on the right side of the pane. The pane will advise you that certain items will load automatically when you log in. Select Flex, and choose minus to delete the item from your startup items. The next time you boot, Flex will not appear automatically. You can now do a Spotlight search on Flex to locate and delete any other suspicious items.
Chances are, you're already logged in as an Admin, in which case there's no problem. However, if you're not, you'll have to get the propert login and password to make changes.

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

saw in previous questions that to fix this application error, i need to uninstall and do a clean install of firefox. however, Scriptff.dll says that access is denied and can not be deleted from the program files. how can i fix this so i can run a clean install?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?
Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Uninstall the application does not delete all new files and folders.
If the user decides to uninstall my Air app, it does not delete the created folders with files in AppData. Another problem is that if the application creates new files in the folder Program Files/AirAppFolder, then uninstall of the app are not deleted these files.
How to solve these problems, help please?Hi,
AIR shouldn't be creating additional files in your program files folder, is this something you're doing programmatically? If so, you might want to consider using File.applicationStorageDirectory instead given permission problems you'll have on newer operating systems.
As to uninstalling all files (even the data created in the user's storage folder) this is something you might consider using a native installer to take care of. Since the AIR installer is unaware of this data, it won't know to delete it on uninstall. Instead, you'll want to create a custom function in a native installer that deletes these folders/files and then sub launches the AIR install/uninstall.
Thanks,

I m trying to manage space in my iPhone but what I find is I m not able to delete document data alone of an application without deleting the entire application ... Any other suggestions or methods to accompanish this? Any pointers welcome... Is this a bug
You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside? I'd recommend against it. Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money. You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider? Did I understand that correctly? -
CS3 Uninstaller Did Not Delete All Application Files
A few months ago, I purchased a new MacBook Pro. When I did that, I used Apple's migration assistant to move my programs from my old MacBook to my new MacBook. The Adobe CS 3.3 applications were migated. I recently purchased the upgrade to CS 5.5 Web Premium. I wanted to uninstall CS 3.3 before installing CS 5.5 to save hard drive space. So, I ran the Adobe Uninstaller (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Uninstallers). The Adobe Uninstaller could not find any Abode Products on my MacBook, although they were clearly installed and working. So, I reinstalled CS 3.3 and then tried the Adobe Uninstaller again. This time, the Uninstaller found all of the product and said that it uninstalled all of them. However, it did not delete the application files from my MacBook. I then attempted to run the Adobe CS Cleaner and that also did not delete the application files.
How do I go about deleting the application files?
Is it safe to simply drag the folder for each CS application to the trash at this point?
How can I remove Version Cue CS3 from my System Preferences?
Thanks!You should find the uninstaller for Acrobat 9 within the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro folder. Once removed then remove any other Adobe application folders you have listed from the Applications folder. Beyond that you can also find files for the Adobe applications listed in the following locations:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
/Users/<UserName>/Application Support/Adobe
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/
You may need to reinstall Flash player and Shockwave after this procedure but it should remove the files used by CS3. You can then try the CS5.5 installation at that point. I would still caution that if you run into problems with the installation or even run into a problem removing Acrobat 9 that it will still be more efficient to step back and restore the Mac OS and run the Migration Assistant again as previously advised. -

New Web Application not creating correctly
I'm having an odd occurrence happen about 50% of the time right now when creating new web applications during my migration from SP2010 to SP2013.
During creating a web application in Central Admin, I can get through the first setup page, then get to the "This shouldn't take long" page and will sit there for 30+ minutes. I end up closing the window and will see that the Web application is there in
Central admin, and sometimes the DB will be created, other times not, not a big issue since I'm mounting a sp2010 database to this web application.
What I do notice is that either a IIS site will either not be created at all, or it will be created, but the Virtual Folder is empty. When trying to delete the Web Application through central admin or PowerShell it will hang for hours until the next day
when it's finally deleted. During this time I am not able to create any other web applications. It's usually at this time that I can successfully create a new web applications but even that is unreliable.
Has anyone ran into this issue or can suggest any workarounds to get this working? I'm wondering if copying the contents of another web application's virtual directory to the failed web application's virtual directory will be a workaround. I still need to
verify if creating a web application through PowerShell gives me the same headache but at the moment I'm currently waiting for a web application to delete.Finally got this resolved after an 8 hour call with Microsoft. After finally getting the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service to restart (took 4 hours) We found that changing the Shutdown time in the Web Application Pool for the Central
Admin pool to 400 allowed for the Web Application to complete successfully.
I'm still confused to why everything is taking so long now to complete so i'll have to look into that next.
Folks, this is a minor problem that seems to be creeping up more and more. I personally have performed over 8 installs in various environments. I have seen this issue in 6 out of the 8 environments I have created. All servers I have tried a variation of
software. In MOST of my tests, this seems to be a problem. Not sure why they decide to recycle the App Pool just before they perform an "Virtual Directory Copy." Here are the results of my tests. I was very methodical in my testing and made sure these were
clean downloads every time. As you will see, I tried variations of hardware increases, physical to virtual, database versions and patch levels...etc.

Trash will not delete from trash folder! What can cause this effect?
u can actually force it to delete, oviously i assume you dont have the application or data etc open neware else?
try restarting your computer, go into finder close all your open applications etc, servers, **** even clear your data in your web browser, do a disk utility check and verify your drives and repair em if nessicary.
as chamar suggested look at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
i had the same problem before but with a good 5-10 minutes of googling i was able to solve it..

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being usedI think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

Microsoft Word Freezing Repeatedly, Application Not Responding
Just wondering if anyone else was having issues with Microsoft Word from MS Office 2008, where you open the application, you type a few sentences, and the application freezes with the spinning circle of death that won't go away until you click the dock where it says "application not responding" and do a force-quit? You can leave the circle spinning for 10-20-30 minutes, and it never goes away.
Now for the weird part--this error only happens for me when I'm using a specific document on my computer. I can open Word, start a new document, type several paragraphs of text, and it works fine. But I've been working on an existing paper for about two months that all of a sudden started causing these freezes/crashes when editing it. It's about 30 pages roughly, no images, no big inserts that would take up a lot of memory (116 kb in size). And up until today, there were no problems. So why all of a sudden can't I edit anything on this paper without freezing the program?! I downloaded the Microsoft Office 2008 Service Pack 1 that was just released after this problem started, and ran all the recent Java and program updates through Software Update with computer restarts. I even copied the text from the Word document I was working on, pasted it into a new document, tried saving it as both .doc and .docx, and again the program still freezes when working with that text in a new file. This one baffles me. It's like the text within a document is somehow freezing the application. One thing I did notice is that the freezes seem to happen when I'm scrolling using a mouse wheel. Not always, but quite a bit. I suppose this is some memory issue related to several pages of text that the program can't render or process when you add new lines of text or scroll, but again, I can't figure why this paper I've been working on for months all of a sudden decided to start freezing Word today. Can you really only have 30 double-spaced pages of text in Word before it crashes?
Looks like I've found my reason to switch to Open Office, since I'm 3-4 days out from a deadline. Any other solution strategies would be welcome. Thanks.Same problem here - Microsoft Word 2008 (update 12.1.7) will open fine, and then start the spinning pizza of death. Only way out is to force-quit the app. I've tried:
1) deleting plist and font cache files
2) uninstalling MS Office 2008, reinstalling and then re-applying updates 12.1.0 and 12.1.7
3) confirming that Apple's Font Card.app can verify all fonts
No luck. Currently I can't open any MS word doc without the spinning pizza of death.
If you are lucky enough that these symptoms only happen with a specific Word .doc file, I would see if the PC-originator could re-save the file as .RTF and resend. If you can then open it OK, you could revert back to .doc (or .docx) format. RTF format is Microsoft's interchange format. If there are anomalies in the .doc file, saving as .RTF can sometimes clean them up. Once done, you can revert back to native MS Word format.

When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?
I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

Thanks If anyone can help me.Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

ITunes 11.2.1 freezes when I connect my iPhone 5. 'Application not responding'
Hi,
Recently I upgraded Mavericks. Since then I cant sync my phone anymore. iTunes works fine untill I plugin my phone. Then the spinwheel comes up and stays there forever. In dock it says 'Application Not Responding'.
iPhone 5, iTunes 11.2.1, Macbook Pro 10.9.3 2.6 GHz 8Gb
Does somebody can help me out? That would be very very nice!Hi BlackNikes
I had exact same problem, but have now resolved it. If your problem is the same as mine your SyncServices folders have been corrupted while itunes was updated.
See my post or spyder683 post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6223064?start=60&tstart=0
I am running Mavericks 10.9.3 and updated itunes to 11.2.0 and then experienced problems with itunes crashing, 11.2.2 didn't resolve the problem. I found iTunes worked fine if all my other devices (iphone, ipad, ipod) were turned off, as soon as I powered any one of them up and itunes detected them over wifi or USB itunes then froze with the dreaded colored ball spinning.
In Mavericks 10.9.3 the SyncServices folder is not visible going into the normal library/Application support folder, your instructions below took me to a different area in the system, or at least made these folders visible. Following your instructions I was able to locate and delete both SyncService & SyncServices folders and I launched iTunes again while my devices were powered up and the issue has gone. Bliss!!!
Many Thanks

Hi Culero,
The fix of deleting the SyncServices folder is for Mac systems. From your desktop / finder, click the "Go" menu at the top, then "Go to Folder ..." Paste this into the field: ~/Library/Application Support
The SyncServices folder should be in there. I had both a SyncService and a SyncServices folder. The second one should, when deleted, help with the problem you and I both had of iTunes freezing when an iOS device is plugged in.
Hope this helps -
IPhone 3g Applications not working.
Hi there, my name is Eden
I just recently bought my iPhone 3g and recieved it yesterday, luckily on my birthday=P
Anyways, my iPhone was working perfectly with no problems and no errors, untill now. I downloaded an Application, iLightr and while it was loading to be downloaded, i deleted some other applications i Did not want no more. When the iLightr application was done, those applications i delete and another application that i never seen popped back up. I deleted them again including the application i never seen.
Anyway, this application was named something with an F i dont remember perfectly.
After deleting those applications, I tried to work my AIM Application. It did not work. When i clicked it, screen goes white with stripe as if its about to load AIM and then it goes back to the main page of the iPhone were i have my applications, SMS AIM Facebook Myspace and games.
All my applications now do this, and it is bugging me out.
Can someone help me in an easy way because I am still a child and do not understand a lot of words that are complicated. Thanks!Okay, my dad's phone had (or has) the same problem so I've spent many many hours with and without a mac genius trying to find a solution, so I've since formed a number of vague ideas about why the problem occurs:
The problems started shortly after I had authorized his computer to play my Texas Hold Em app, and he subsequently tried to upload it to his phone (let me know if any of you tried something similar). I don't know if this was to blame at all, but I'm pretty sure the issue has to do with authorization: for some reason the account used to download apps through iTunes and the account used to download apps on the iPhone were seen as two different accounts, so upon restarting or resyncing there was a conflict between accounts that made the iPhone think it wasn't authorized to open the apps that were uploaded to the phone (which is why the primary apps will still work - no downloading or syncing involved). Some of the solutions I found to the problem also reinforce this:
The first time I was able to fix it was by selecting the phone in iTunes and toggling some of the info (calendars, email, contacts etc) that was supposed to sync to the phone. First, they had been auto-deselected for some reason, so when I told iTunes that it was supposed to sync that info (by clicking the checkbox) it came up with a warning that said something like "are you sure because this iPhone is linked to a different account" and then it might have mentioned erasing or something but either way it was mistaken because the phone had only ever been synced with that computer (it was in fact a brand new 3g that the mac genius had just given us over the course of troubleshooting) - so I said sure erase it or whatever and everything worked fine, 3rd party apps and all.
That fixed it for a while, but when it happened again I did EVERYTHING. I restored the phone to factory settings, reinstalled the entire OS on the MacBook (meaning all apps deleted, etc, etc), and DID NOT restore the phone from a backup. Before syncing I also deauthorized his computer from his account AND my account, then reauthorized him for his account only. I had "sync applications" selected in iTunes, but I told it to never upload apps from the phone to iTunes. That all fixed it for the longest period yet, but the problem recurred once again yesterday, and then it froze on the silver boot-up screen (any of you having this prob too?).
This time we fixed it by putting the phone into recovery mode (hold down the lock and home buttons together and keep holding them down past the restart until you see the plug-into-itunes logo) while it was plugged into itunes, deleting all applications from iTunes, and setting the phone up as new (do not restore from a backup). Now it's working again.
So I say it's either a recurring bug to the iPhone, or there is some residual bad info on my dad's account on the apple servers that somehow keeps making it to the iPhone or iTunes thus causing the conflict again. I know it doesn't make sense when I say it, but It LOOKS like the iPhone and iTunes think they're actually two different accounts so the iPhone eventually thinks it's not allowed to play the apps it downloads. Either way, I'm turning off app syncing on the phone for now and just managing them purely from the phone itself.
Hope this helped ANYBODY .
