Delete Plug-ins

I'm trying to delete a plug-in for Aperture.
I read a couple of post already... All refering to the "Library/Application Support/Aperture" folder.
This may sound funny but I can't find any Aperture folder on my hard drive. I see aperture in my Applications. I use Aperture and see the plug-ins in my export window. Meaning, it is installed somewhere.
The Aperture folder is not showing when I look at files/folders on: Macintosh HD, neither on my user profile folder. Is this possible?
Thanks!!!

The home library folder is hidden in Lion (don;t ask ) To see it in Finder go to the Go menu and press the option key, the Library folder will appear (a bit like Brigadoon out of the mist).
If the plug-in is not in your Library/Application Support folder look in the system folder at /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

How can I delete plug-ins that I do not want then anymore?

how can I delete plug-ins that I do not use anymore?

Uninstall them by deleting them from the Library:
The plug-ins usually are installed in the Applications Support Folder -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins, either in your your User Library or in the System Library:
your home folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/

Deleting plug ins

downloaded some demos from apple.com
( industrial revolution, fx factory , CM, etc... )
how do I completely delete the files from my HD and FCP?
dragging to the trash from applications is not working.
Thanks

Best would be to use the Uninstall option from the original installer ( if there is one )
... otherwise you'll have to manually delete the plugs from their various locations:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins
and
/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug
~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug
also check out
/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Application Support/
as there some plugins may install there own support components in those locations

Deleting plug ins + Logic Express

Hi I have recently bought Logic 8 studio and dont need logic express 7. i cant seem to delete the entire program. does anyone know how to completely wipe Logic express 7 from the system drive?
also im using Toontrack's DFH Superior drum sample plug in. i dont need this anymore and would like to uninstall this too. how do you unistall audio plug ins on a mac?
cheers

Josh since I've never used Logic I really can't say. I did however find this:
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Express. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Logic Express and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Express. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Express. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
Open the Applications folder.
Drag the Logic Express application to the Trash.
Go to /Library/Receipts.
In the Receipts folder, select the "Logic Express.pkg" file.
Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Logic Express.
Drag the Logic Express.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the Logic Express.pkg's modification date.
Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Logic Express" to the Trash.
Insert your Logic Express installation disc and install Logic Express.
When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
It concerns removing Logic Express and reinstalling as a troubleshooting measure. However I would assume you could use it as a guide in just plain uninstalling.

I keep getting error message about failure of generating, delete plug ins and reinstall.

What is supposed to be generating? I did delete a plug in on Textured paper, but I still get the error message. or the message suggests reinstalling Photoshop. How do I do that?

Did you make sure that your firewall or other security software isn't blocking the plugin-container process?

WHY are Firefox users NOT "allowed" to "uninstall" "plug-ins" ????

Firefox simply has to make it possible for it's users to delete/remove/UNINSTALL UNWANTED PLUG-INS !!! WHY has this NEVER been a default option ???? I just don't understand.I found a page on how to "manually" delete plug-ins BUT...guess what ??? I ended up really screwing things up.Trying to manually delete the plug-ins that I wanted to do so with,I just randomly typed letters on my keyboard to rename the files and I did NOT write down what I has renamed these entries.
Well,the instructions for doing this were not written very well and the "uninstall" did NOT take !! I even went as far as to uninstall and reinstall the entire program (Firefox) (thinking that maybe a fresh install would give me just the default plug-ins/extensions that Firefox comes with when a person downloads Firefox for the first time) TO NO AVAIL !! PLEASE....is there ANY way that you can help me with this ???

Some plugins like Flash come as only a plugin.
*C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
Other like the RealPlayer that you mentioned and Java come as applications that are installed as a program and add registry keys to make Firefox find the plugin.<br /><br />
Some try to install their plugin directly in a Firefox plugins folder that can reside in different locations (program folder, current profile folder, and its parent profile folder: Mozilla\plugins).<br />
The pluginreg.dat file referenced about will always have the full path of each plugin.<br />

Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

I'm a real person, thanks.
If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
General advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

Acrobat retains plug-ins after deletion

I have installed Acrobat Pro 8.1 and added upgrades for 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.
This is with Vista Home Premium.
I added some plug-ins eg pitstop and then uninstalled them. They are not in the plug-ins directory or on any drive, however Acrobat still has them working?
I also have a problem when I click help, I get no drop down and the program stops working?

For info! Problem solved.
I have found the api Using advanced search method and ticking the box "Include non-indexed, hidden and system files" option.
It found
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\...
Now I do have a virtual machine loaded to run XP programs that fail in vista I must have once had acrobat on it with these plug-ins then I removed acrobat, so now when I look at it I see no acrobat and think it is clean, but there it is! Even now if I look at c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins in the XP virtual machine I see nothing infact there is no Acrobat 8 at all, but this file remains!
So If I go to vista, as me, delete that file when acrobat runs the plug-ins have gone.

Audio plug ins (stillwell audio) appear even after deleted

I had some stillwell audio plug ins, they didnt ned them anymore so i deleted them, did a system search and deleted all the files that have to relate to stillwell plug ins, then went on to ableton and logic(I installed logic after the start of the iusse) and they still appeared and are still fully functional, so I went on searching for these files even deeper and couldent find them, they dont exist when i search them. so i contacted stillwell customer service and they listed how to find the files and i did all what they said and it still shows up, so now im asking the apple community, DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!
thanks, teliik

Hello TELIIK,
It sounds like you just did a search for the plug-ins, but I found an article that tells you exactly where to look for these plug-ins:
Finding Audio Units plug-ins on your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1295
The important part of this article states:
The Apple Audio Units plug-ins are built into the operating system and do not appear as discrete files. Plug-ins from other manufacturers appear as individual components on your hard disk. They may be found in two places:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components ("~" represents your home directory.)
The ~/Library is a hidden folder in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can find instructions for accessing it here:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11395
The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
I hope this helps you locate those those plug-ins!
Best,
Sheila M.

Add/delete aperture plug-ins?

I installed a plug-in called Border FX, so I could type text onto a photo; but it doesn't work, so I would like to delete it but can't find way to do that.
Anyone know how?
Also -- any good plug-ins for this?

To answer your questions:
1. I got Border FX from it's site, latest version
2. Tried it again. It still doesn't work
3. I'm not interested in seeing if your claims are backed up but perhaps you might want to add my data to your track record info.
4. What program? It was a toss up between latest Photoshop and Painter 12 -- I had an old, old Photoshop that was quite suitable for me but now no longer works under Mac OS 10.7/Lion. I got Painter 12. It meets my core needs (adding text, having layers) and opens up some fun directions I've been interested in. I'll add, though, that it crashes now and then and I hope/expect they will deal with that. If I was in a more pressured business situation I'd recommend Photoshop.

Plug-ins manage/delete in OS X applications

How can I delete a plug-in in Yosemite applications such as Mail? I have looked everywhere in Mail, including Preferences but there is no mention of plug-ins and how to manage them. Any ideas? Thanks..

Hi BAL-iP,
You should find any plugins for Apple's Mail application in the folders described in this article -
OS X: Third-party plugins for Mail may no longer work after updating OS X
Specifically -
Third-party Mail plugins are normally stored in the following folders:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
/Library/Mail/Bundles
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
