Can't re-install after uninstall

I was told by the developer of an App Store app to uninstall + re-install his app, iNet. After uninstalling + re-starting, my App Store shows that the app is installed, even though it's not listed in my Applications. How can I re-install?

The Mac App Store can see apps on other partitions and drives. So if there is a copy of the app on another drive the MAS can see it and believes that the app is installed. Disconnect other drives and unmount any other partitions and you should then be able to download the app.

Can't see pdf after uninstalling adobe reader

After uninstalling pdf reader from adobe, I lost possiblitiy to opend pdf documents in safari. Usually, before installing adobe reader pdf documents opened nicely in Safari, with link to download or print a document. Now, all what opens is a gray page, without any content in it. When trying printing, I get blank page. Has anyone encountered this problem? How can I switch to old Safari behavior - native pdf reading ability, present in OSX?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Could you please help?

ITunes corrupted, can't re-install, nor uninstall

Running Windows XP.
I ran a Windows Update the other day, that was titled "Update for XP" or something vague like that.
Last night I clicked on iTunes and rather than startup normally, it went into a window that said iTunes was installing....then it said the installation failed because it could not write to a file called "storecopyrightplacard.nib".
I tried to uninstall and taht failed with the same error.
Then I ran Windows Uninstall Cleanup Utility and tried again. Still failed with same error.
Now I'm stuck. iTunes will not run, I can't unistall it, and I can't install it.
I think it might have something to do with the XP update.
Oh yeah, after everything, I ran Combofix and used Windows Defenders to scan for viruses. Nothing was found and still iTunes does not work.
Any ideas?

All the symptoms are consistent with disk/file damage, og.
First try running a chkdsk over your C drive (or the drive that your iTunes program files are installed on if that isn't your C drive.) There's instructions and a guided help in the following document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try reinstalling iTunes.
If the reinstall fails on the same file, could you post back with the precise *file path* of the file/folder it's complaining about? (There's a bunch of different .nibs of that name lurking down in the iTunes language resources, so we need to know the full file path in order to know which file or folder we're dealing with in this particular instance.)

Help Installing After Uninstalling Photoshop CS6

Hello i am needing help. When i installed Photoshop it was flashing whenever i drew or selected a tool and stuff it would flash and photoshop would turn black then normal and it would keep doing that, ( I have Windows 8 Pro) and so i uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and then later on i needed it again so i tried reinstalling it but after it's done extracting it says it can't install because of some CameraRaw7 thing and i can't reinstall it PLEASE HELP!

The flashing is from Win8 and the GPU driver. Known problem but MS not doing much about it. In mean time set GPU to Basic in preference/performance
Camera raw is a plug in. What is the error?
FYI uninstalling and reinstally rarely solves the problems.

HP LaserJet 2600N & Windows 7 64-bit - Can't Complete Install or Uninstall

The printer will not completely install on my new laptop via my home network ... simply dies part-way through the process.
- It puts the Toolbox on my desktop which is unuseable - shows no printer.
- No printer shown under printers
- HP uninstall routine on disk dies with a "setup error"
- Can't find any HP file online to completely remove this garbage and get another brand that will actually work ... with a company that actually updates their drivers and provides "real" customer support.
A Disgusted and FORMER HP Owner

You should try the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD), which does list your device model as supported by the driver. Go to www.hp.com/go/upd, hit the DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE. Select a Windows 7 x64 OS, then I recommend trying the PostScript (PS) driver. The installer will prompt a few questions-- select "Traditional Mode", provide your port information, etc, proceed.

How can I retreve bookmarks after uninstalling firefox

My husband uninstalled firefox due to it crashing. In the process it looks like all my years and years worth of bookmarks have gone. He installed the latest version of firefox which is working fine. But I cant find/import any old bookmarks. I didn't back them up, but from what I have read firefox does back them up automatically. Please help me. I will be lost without them. I have done a system restore but it didn't help.
Many thanks
Sonja

Thank you very very much. He had deleted all data! I had not heard of that software before. So I downloaded the free version, ran it, searched for bookmark and the JSON file appeared. I recovered it and restored it very very simply.
I really can not thank you enough for providing this very useful information. You have made my day :)

Premiere Pro CS6 will not install after uninstalling it?

I was having a problem with Red Giant's Mojo plugin. Their preset would not show up in Premiere Pro CS6. The Red Giant tech told me to reinstall PPro. So I did the uninstall thing and now when I click to install PPro, nothing happens. I did things like restarts and repaired permissions, but nothing helps.Any ideas?
Mac Pro 1,1 - Lion 10.7.5

This is how I solved the problem:
Been on the chat with Red Giant. They could not fix the problem. They told me to re-install Premiere Pro. That didn't help. The presets still did not show up. The Mojo preset file would not import. So what I did was, since the Mojo presets do show up in After Effects, I applied each preset to a clip. Took a screenshot of each one of the slider of where they were set in the effects control panel. Then went back to Premiere Pro, manually set the sliders for each preset that I made screenshots of. After each one I set, I did a save preset. Made a new bin and put all nine preset in the bin. It was a little time consuming but it got the job done.
Hope this helps.

Firefox won't install after uninstall

Hey all,
I just bought a new 2012 rMBP and a local authorized computer repair shop transfered over my data from my old laptop, which was a macbook as well. The only reason i had them do it is because my old laptop was subject to severe water damage, and I had no way to access the HDD
Anyway, he transfered over my apps, files, and everything. Firefox was transfered over as well. I uninstalled firefox by dragging it from the applications menu to the trash, and then downloaded the current copy (the one that was installed on my old laptop was 6 releases behind). I go to install the newly downloaded copy and it tells me there is already a firefox installed, and i can replace, leave it alone, or stop. If I pick "replace" it gives me a message of:
"The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
I've searched for firefox files and there are none.
Where do I go from here?

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R 0 /Applications/Firefox.app
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
Try the installation again. If it works, you can quit Terminal.

Can't Update CS5 after uninstall

I am running Windows 7 x64, and I just installed CS5 design standard. I had run into some issues with my font software so I decided uninstall and reinstall. I ran the uninstaller everything was good, I re-installed and it fixed my 3rd party font software, but when I try to update my programs Bridge tells me that I have no updates to install.
I believe when I uninstalled CS5 it didn't unstall the updates, now my programs are not updated.
I know there is a CS5 cleaner and I didn't run it thinking the uninstaller would do it. I am looking for a fix other than re-installing everything a third time.
Thanks in advance for any help!

An update gets removed during uninstall of a product. In this case where you feel like the update is not showing up in the updater (Help>Updates) you can still download to run them explicitly. The return values/log messages of update will clarify if the update is applicable or already applied.
The updates run the same way whether run manually or automatically via help updates, so either way will not have impact on future updates.

XUL Cache want to re install after uninstalling on last session

In the ADD-ONS, a XUL Cache reinstalls itself even though I uninstalled on the last session. According to Google search there is some sort of a virus file that attaches itself to the XUL.DLL. The file has two names, one is called XUL.mfl. My McAfee and System Mechanic does not even recognize it. I deleted this file according to the instructions I found but to no avail. This problem continues to exsist. The other file name is XUL.mfast which I did not find on my system. What this has done is... my home page is frontiernet. they post several news stories on their front page. If I mouse over to another story other than the first top story, the picture will not change and when I Google search for something and then click on a link, I get redirected to another link which will not let me back out and go back to my search page. Every link gets redirected to the same "bad" link but site adviser never detects the threat.
????? Please help! Thank You!!!

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

FP9 won't install after uninstall

I'm using swfobject and expressinstall to load a Flash8
movie.
I have expressinstall working in Firefox, but not in IE7.
The Adobe autoupdater loads the update files but Flash Player
can't be found.
Here's my HTML:
<div id="fcmain">
<div id="fctext">
No Flash Content
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var version = deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion();
if (document.getElementById && (version['major'] >
8)) {
var so = new SWFObject("fddmain.swf", "fddmain", "1100",
"660", "9", "#FFFFFF");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
so.addParam("allowscale", "true");
so.addParam("allowscriptaccess", "samedomain");
so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true");
so.write("fcmain");
else
if (document.getElementById && (version['major'] <
8)) {
var so = new SWFObject("fddmain.swf", "fddmain", "740",
"140", "9", "#FFFFFF");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
so.addParam("allowscale", "true");
so.addParam("allowscriptaccess", "samedomain");
so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true");
so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf');
so.write("fctext");
// ]]>
</script>
I start by running "fp_6.0.65_activex.exe" to generate
"Flash.ocx", and copy "Flash.ocx" into
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash".
When I test with expressinstall.html, it shows that FP6 is
the current player and I get the Flash 9 updater prompt that goes
to ""
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/swf/autoUpdater.swf"
when I click yes.
So all is fine up to that point.
But when I get redirected to the Adobe Flash Player install
page the Flash movie that's supposed to run during the installation
doesn't appear, and so it never reports that the installation was
complete. The page simply loads without the install movie and
reports "Done" in the lower left corner. It never goes back to
index.php and reloads my flash movie (the way Firefox does).
In addition, the Adobe install page copies the following
files into "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash"
"Flash9c.ocx", "FlashUtil9c.exe", "install.log",
"uninstall_activeX.exe". These appear to be the correct files. The
installation also leaves behind "Flash.ocx" which is from the
version 6.0.65 installation.
If I run expressinstall.html again it reports that there is
no Flash Player installed.
I've also removed this folder from the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions.
(As per TechNote 4da116d3)
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=4da116d3&sliceId=1
Has anyone else run into this?
