If you installed "CleanMyMac," the instructions for removing it are linked to my last comment. If it's something else, see below. If you don't know what you installed, ask for instructions.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Can't open safari after removing genieo

How do I open safari after removing genieo

You installed the "Genieo" scam product. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is a scam artist, you shouldn't rely on it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Applications/Genieo.app
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
Note: Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file doesn't exist.
The following configuration file may be either created or modified by the Genieo installer:
/etc/launchd.conf
The file is unlikely to be used by anything but Genieo or something equally undesirable. Unless you know you need it, delete it in the same way as above, if it exists. Otherwise, edit it to remove the line that begins as follows:
setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
The above is not a file, but a line inside a file.
Reboot. Safari should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page. If not, stop here and post your results.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extension you don't recognize. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
The Genieo installer may also install the "Silverlight" web plugin from Microsoft. If you have no use for that plugin, you should remove it according to Microsoft's instructions. Don't remove it if you subscribe to "Netflix."
This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should render Genieo permanently non-functional, as long as you never reinstall it.

How can I open iTunes after recent update 01/25/2014

After installing the recent update for iTunes, I can't open iTunes. Tried to uninstall/reinstais missing, with same results. I have received several error messages: MSVCR80.dill is missing. Please re-install, error 7 Windows error (126).
When will this corrupted download be fixed? I can't access iTunes at all.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

New iMac, can't open safari after migration

Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc.
So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now]. I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ? Thanks for the help. jw

Hi Simon...
Have two different versions of Safari on your Mac won't work.
So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop?
new iMac (bought yesterday)
The only way to reiinstall Safari on Lion v10.7 is to use Lion Recovery which will reinstall the Mac OS X.
Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?
No.

Can't launch Safari after Software Update

I can't start Safari anymore and I don't know what to do. In short, click on the dock and no bounce. Double-click on the icon within Applications and it doesn't launch either. These problems, I'm guessing are a result of the combination of objects delivered by Software Update yesterday. Based on the log below, I installed the following:
2006-05-29 22:05:53 -0700: Installed "Pages Update" (1.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:05:58 -0700: Installed "Apple Intermediate Codec" (1.0.1)
2006-05-29 22:06:12 -0700: Installed "Keynote Update" (2.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:06:52 -0700: Installed "GarageBand Update" (2.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:07:42 -0700: Installed "iPhoto Update" (5.0.4)
2006-05-29 22:08:04 -0700: Installed "Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2" (2.0)
2006-05-29 22:09:01 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1)
2006-05-29 22:09:43 -0700: Installed "iTunes" (6.0.4)
2006-05-29 22:10:02 -0700: Installed "iPod Updater 2006-03-23" ( )
Additional problematic behavior includes:
(1) other applications saying OS X is not 10.3.8 or higher
(2) can't launch Software Update from the Apple menu or from the "About This Mac" window
(3) can't see the system version in "About This Mac" (shows the serial number instead)
(4) can't run a bunch of other apps (Dashboard, iMovie, iChat, Sims 2 University)
Any clues? Am I in the right forum?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

(3) in About This Mac click on the serial number and it should cycle through the Mac OS version, build, and serial number. Run Repair Disk Permissions then run Software update again. There might be other updates available. After each update run Repair Disk Permissions.

Can't Open Mail after security update 10.6.8

I can not get the mail app to run. This is the error message I keep getting.
Did the SecUpd2012-004 update.
After the update, I had (and still have) 2 copies of mail in my application folder.
I've repaired my permissions.
Tried to got back using the time machine (that was a waste of hours).
Also, deleted the mail app (8.1) and then reinstalled the SecUpd2012-004.
Only thing I haven't done is to do the Combo 10.6.8 update.
I've noticed that other people are starting similar threads. Anybody have a solution? I've been working on it all day and no joy.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I thought that we might have had a solution, but no such luck.
I did the combined update - and after that I had only one Mail app in the applications folder (encouraging) - and it appeared to be the correct one by it's icon.
Thought about doing a repair permissions but didn't do it after the combined update.
After the combined update, I did the secUpd, the second mail app was there with it's generic icon again and
Needless to say, I'm back to square 1.
So, I'm thinking I've got some options here. One of my options would be to get another HD, slug it into one of the open HD slots, take out my 10.6 CD format it and then if possible use time machine to put that drive in the state where everything worked right before the update. This would seem to be the fastest, time wise way of making the issue go away.
You guys think I could / should delete the 4.6 mail app and start over with the combined update and then do a permissions repair after the update?

Can't open mail after installing update with 10.6.8 says my mail is out of date

Please help - new to Macs and I installed automatic update of 10.6.8 - 4 days ago and now I can't open up mail - it says "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in Applications/ Mail.
So I went to Applications, says this message again. So I used my discs that came with the computer adn installed again Applications - no luck.
I had luckily backed up 2 days before this update - so went to Time Machine - did restore - now good still - can't open mail. CLick on Iconand get same messgae .
Please help. Thank you

Thank you for the very clear basic instructions—helpful for a newbie.…Also my first screen shot !! I see that it does not have .App next to it
Most likely because you have Finder's preferences->Advanced->Show all filename extensions unchecked. Check it, log out, and back in and all the apps should display the .app extension.
Now, back to your problem. If you installed the Security Update 2012-004, it failed to update Mail to 4.6; thus, your problem. Manually DL it from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586 and reinstall it.

Can't open iPhoto after maverick update

Hi
Updated to Maverick and now can't open i photo and can't get it to update. Hepl!

What update? With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what update did you apply?
what version of iPhoto are you currently using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to open iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Happy Holidays

Iphoto can't be opened now after downloading updates. Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again. It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
