Delete a Downloaded Application?

Is it possible to delete a program once you download it? If it is, how do I go about doing so? TYIA
I've looked in the "Support" section of the apple site and am now just frustrated.

Sync with iTunes. Go to the Applications tab in iTunes, uncheck the app you want to get rid of, and hit the sync button

How to delete a downloaded application from OS X version 10.9.4

I downloaded an application called Toolbox for pages but as I opened it I realized it is of no use for me. How can I delete this application?

It depends on the application: if you installed it by dragging it into the Applications folder, simply drag it to the trash. If it came with its own installer, chances are you need its uninstaller (check the developer's website for it).

TS1394 I downloaded MacKeeper, since it identifies itself as an Apple application. Then I got suspicious and deleted the download. Yet the icon is still in the menu on the top line. System is somewhat slow. Now mackeeper pop up says it can fix all?

Is MacKeeper a legitimat Apple ware? I have deleted the downloads, yet the icon remains in the upper line and there are pop-ups: Fix all issues that affect your system status by activating MacKeeper. What should I do?

Do not install MacKeeper (and how to uninstall it if you have):

Anybody know if this transaction exist?

Why does my iPod say "Unable to Download Application"? Other apps will download just fine and updating apps isn't an issue either, it's just this one app.

A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.

That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

I keep getting a message "unable to download application"

I keep getting the message cannot download application then gives the apps name then says cannot download at this time. Then gives me a choice to either press done or retry. If I hit done it stops trying to load it and I cannot use the app and if I press retry it keeps trying to download and I keep getting the message I just stated. And stays gray. This happens with any and all apps under 20mb(even ones that r as small as 1mb and under)that has an upgrade or that I try to just download right from my phone. Then when I plug it in to pc it's like it doesn't even acknowledge that it's on my phone and leaves the app gray. So the only way I can get it to work when it's gray is to delete it off my phone and redownload it from iTunes once plugged it to pc. This has been going on since last iPhone OS upgrade and is getting fusterating. Now they will download if and when I can find wi fi(which is not often in my area). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

How Do I Delete a download on my macbook pro

How do I delete a download from my macbook pro OSX Mavericks OSX 10.9.5

If you haven't installed it, control-click the Downloads icon on the Dock, choose Show in Finder or Open Downloads, select that item, throw it away, and empty the Trash. If it's a dmg, you may need to unmount that first.
If you've drag-installed an application, remove it as above.
If you've actually run an installer, find and use an uninstaller.

I Receive Error DF015 Unable to delete symlink "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/APE/3.4/adbeapeco

Hi,
I am having issues installing Extension Managger CC. I receive the follwoing error when attempting to install Extension Manager:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DF015 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)
----------- Payload: Adobe Player for Embedding 3.4 3.4.0.0 {6E6ECFC9-FE3D-4314-B937-7E25A7862899} -----------
ERROR: DF015: Unable to delete symlink "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/APE/3.4/adbeapecore.framework/Libraries"(Seq 4)
I don't know if the permissions on the file (and contents) are correct. I noticed that they were pointing to a user that no longer exists. I manually went in and made the owner and groups point to system, wheel and root and everyone, with all three having R+W access.
Are these the correct permissions? I was thinking of using Adobe CC Cleaner but I didn't see anything that mentioned Extension Manager. What would the APE 3.4 be called?
What yould you recommend?
Thanks,
Rocky

Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
Rocky you are correct to determine this is a file permission failure which is causing the error. Please see Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html for information on how to adjust the file permissions.
If you continue to fail with this update you may want to try applying the update in either a Root user account or a new administrator account to see if the same failure occurs.

Why have my notes and contacts been deleted and my applications won't launch

I tried using my iPad mini today but both my notes and contacts have been deleted and my applications either won't launch at all or launch for a few minutes and then shutdown. I also tried to download another app which said had been downloaded but I couldn't find it anywhere, the same thing happened with another app I downloaded. It was working fine yesterday and I haven't updated it or done anything out of the ordinary since then. What's wrong?

There are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

All downloaded applications disappeared during Sync

I sync my iPhone to iTunes every day. I have had the phone for a little over a month now with no problems. Today I plugged it in, synced as usual, but when the sync was done, ALL of my downloaded applications are gone, both from my phone and from the Application tab of iTunes.
The Application link under Library in iTunes still shows all of the applications, but when I plug my iPhone in, the Applications tab there is blank.
The apps do still exist in My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
I have deauthorized my computer, and reauthorized it. I have shut down iTunes and restarted. I turned my phone off and back on. What else can I try to get my applications back?

OK, I did an 'Add Folder to Library' and selected the Mobile Applications folder. The applications now show up again in the Device list, I clicked Sync, and the got copied back to my iPhone. Whew.
But now I have TWO of everything in the Applications section of the Library. There is only one physical copy in the Mobile Applications folder. I shut down iTunes again and restarted. The duplicates are still there. I tried Consolidating the library. Nope. Preferences hide the Applications folder, then unhide it. Nope, still there.
I am now going through the applications one by one, double-clicking on them, and doing a right-click Delete of the ones where the associated file can't be found. iTunes definitely lost track of the applications when I moved My Documents.

I can not download any files using Safari ? when I choose to download application file the URL include the file name and stop responding. Any help??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Accidentally deleted all my applications and associated files using App Cleaner and when I put them all back in to Applications none of them work now

Hi last night I stupidly downloaded App Cleaner and deleted all my applications and their associated files. Because I panicked I wasn't able to use the "put back" so I just dragged everything back in to Applications. Now none of the applications will work as some of the associated files aren't in the correct location and some of the files aren't even applications. i did not back up my system with Time Machine (lesson learnt). Please please can someone help me, I know that Mac's don't have a roll back like PC's

They do. It's called Time Machine.
You need to reinstall all of your Apps. That should replace all of the support files you nuked.

I deleted my mail application how do I get it back?

I accidentally deleted my mail application on my computer. how do i download mail on my computer again? i can't find it anywhere!

How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted OS X Applications
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....
• Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update ..... Default selection
Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

I deleted my mail application

I think I may have deleted my mail application. It would be nice if someone could help me. PLEAZ!?!?

First welcome to the discussions.
You can go to.
http://www.mozzila.com
Find Thunderbird, it is the mail Application.
If you don't want to do that you can use Pacifist and use it to download just the mail Application from your Original Operating Systems Disc, if you prefer.
There are several different Mail Applications for Mac that are good.
Cheers Don

I downloaded the free upgrade for OS X Mavericks can you delete a download before installation ? i don't want it after reading reviews.

Yes, it's in your Applications folder and is called "Install OS X". Make sure to empty your trash afterwards to clear the space.
