Hello jackcarl:
As a general rule, unless you are really pressed for HD space, it is a bad idea (IMHO) to remove Apple applications. There are interactions at times that are not evident.
If you really wish to remove some applications, you simply drag the folder/program to the trash. Unlike Windows, Apple does not scatter things all over the system. There are a few things (preference files, for example) that would be left, but the space they occupy is nominal - although you could do a 'find' and get those too
Do a search on www.versiontracker.com to locate programs that will allow you to selectively uninstall things like drivers (for the reasons above, I do not use those techniques).
If you do proceed, please be careful. With the very large HDs now available, the "old days" of cleaning things up (I date back there myself) are really gone.

    When you insert products, the Product object itself is the element you use.
    public void addProduct(Product i){
         products.addElement(i);     
    }But when you remove the product, you use the ID of the product as the element.
    products.removeElement(product.id);That doesn't seem right, now does it?

  • Help with for loop and remove-item command

    Hi all here is the code so far
    $a = Get-Content C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\test.txt
    for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
    #$temp = [int32]::Parse($a[$i])
    Remove-Item '\\ceit2551202x0'$a[$i]'\C$\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\*' -Force
    I have a text file with a few number in it that i want to get. They are in the array $a but I'm getting an error that says a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '53' (it does this for all the numbers in the array.) I know in java you
    could have something like this   string + int + string. 
    I'm not sure what to do I also tried to parse it with no luck. Thanks any help is appreciated.

    Your issue is with the path for Remove-Item, it is not complete so try this
    Remove-Item "\\ceit2551202x0$($a[$i])\C$\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\*" -Force
    I am unable to test, so I would add the -WhatIf switch to make sure it outputs what you expect

  • System Accounts Startup Items in Tiger can not be re-ordered

    IN OSX.3.9 in statup items I can Drag and drop and to reorder startup position. (on my G4-500 with Mouse)
    On my G4-1.67gb PowerBook 17" neither using touchpad or a mouse; can I reorder Load order of Control paneland extensions.
    Is this normal behavior? I am using a Logitech mouse (two button with a scrollwheel) in both cases. actually I have two one is with a cord which I prefer the other is non-corded that uses a usb trasmitter(or receiver). Both act the same, as well as the track pad.
    I can grab the item but what happens it that it removes the item from the list instead of aloowing movement.

    Hi, Phillip.
    You wrote: "Is this normal behavior?"Under Tiger, yes. The order of Login Items cannot be changed in the list under Tiger.
    You wrote: "According to Help menu for such in Tiger it still says you can to that."Not according to the relevant Help document, "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Opening items automatically when you log in."

  • How can we remove items from the VF04 list?

    We have a long list of items in VF04 that, for various reasons (some process related, some due to errors), are not to be billed. We have looked at applying filters to the list but there is nothing really suitable to hide these individual documents e.g. we could filter out some dates where none of the items on that date are to be billed but other dates have a mix of items we want to bill and others we don't.
    I have done a search of this forum but didn't find a previous topic with a quick and simple method to remove items from the list .
    Is there a method, other than billing them or sorting each issue individually, to permanently remove individual documents from the VF04 list?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David

    Hi,
    David,
    Download a list of Pending delivers doc form VF04.
    Paste the list in T.Code : VL09 (Delivery reversal) and reverse the delivery.
    Then go to T.Code: VL06G Select the list of deliveries that has been reversed, select/delete all un- wanted deliveries.
    This way you can remove all unwanted pending deliveries forn Billing due list (VF04).
    Thanks & Regards,

  • I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. Help!

    I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. I have somehow got green underline in text ads, pop up ads that come in from the sides of the screen and ads that pop up selling similar products all over the page wherever I go. Its getting worse and I have researched and researched to no avail. I am really hestitant to download any software to remove whatever it is that is causing this problem. I have removed and reinstalled chrome. I have cleared Chrome and Safari cookies. Checked extensions, there are none to remove. I need to find an answer on how to get rid of these ads. Help please!

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    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 named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *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

  • How to Remove items without opening new dispute for FHA Mortgage approval

    Hello, these forums are very helpful. How do I remove items from the bureaus without filing a dispute? For example, I have several old accounts that are expired now. On 2 of them, I tried calling the creditors directly and they were so old that they said they had no information. I can't file a "dispute" with the bureaus because as you know, you can't close on a mortgage with an open dispute and I don't have time to wait 30 days. I can't quite go to the creditor when they're like "it's so old we have no information." The other issue I have is there are some blatant errors. For example, student loans errors. I have letters from my student loan company saying they've corrected with the credit bureaus -- but then they show up. What should I do? Again, I can't open disputes because I can't have an open dispute and close on a loan. LVNV put something on my credit report for a dental bill I paid in cash. It was years ago. I don't know how to go about proving I paid it. Last but not least I have a charge-off from Bank of America that's reaching the 7 year mark in 2 months. Is B o A good about removing after it hits that mark? Should I even try a goodwill ask of them to remove it early or at least update it to a 0 balance? (They didn't sell it so it still shows a balance) Or anything? I'd be afraid of offering any type of payment for fear they'd open the loan and re-age it since it's going to fall off in a month. All help appreciated

    It wont be BofA that removes it at 7 years, it will be the credit rteporting agencies. You can ask for an early exclusion (I had good success with TU and EX and didn't have anything on EQ to try on.) Call and ask for EARLY EXCLUSION. TU may take a few tries before you get someone that knows what you are talking about. EX was a piece of cake. You will need a report number to get thru on EX phone system (the last copy of your free report from annual credit report will have a 10 digit number at the top). If the others are old you can try the same thing, otherwise you may have to contact the creditor and get them to email you letters stating it should be updated and get those in the hands of the

  • Not able to remove items from initiative

    Hello All,
    We are on PPM 5.0 and I am trying to remove added items from the 'initiative' but I am not able to remove them.
    Can someone kindly help, as to what might be preventing from removing items from initiatives.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    If you want to remove the Items from Intiative , you need remove the relationships object . Not possible to delete directly !
    Steps :
    Navigate to the Relationships tab , then go to the Sub tab Related Objects , select the Item  and click Delete Assignment. You will remove the Item from Initiative dashboard !
    Hope it works for you !

  • Removing items from queues...

    I am almost done with this program, just I cannot remove items from the end of the queue successfully. The object of this program was to remove the first 5 and last 5 items from a queue and print the remaining. I've done all but remove the last 5. There is some code in there to do it, but it doesn't work correctly. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
    public class Library3

    Just a couple of notes...
    - your calls to getLast, getFirst, etc. seem a little redundant. Apart from incrementing the size variable, they just call their respective class to do the action. Both methods are already public, so why the need to call another method? Just throw the size++ or size-- into the implemented method. And your enqueue just calls add() and nothing else... just an unnecessary intermediate step.
    - I'm not a big fan of the return new Book ("No books to remove") ... if there are no books, why not return null, and do a check for it on the calling method. Creating a new book to return the fact that there are no books to return just doesn't seem logical. What I guess you're doing is displaying the title of the book if there's a book to return. If not, then you return a book with the title "No books to remove" and it displays that instead. All fine and dandy, but mindsets like that will eventually dig you into a hole. A quick check for null can take care of it, no problem.
    Okay, now back to your problem. In what way is it not "working correctly". What is your output onto your screen. The code to pop() (thought Pop was related to Stacks, not Queues, but whatever), enqueue() and dequeue() all look fine at first glance, but I haven't traced the code extensively. I'd say throw in a bunch (and I mean a ton) of println()'s in there, and see if you can figure out where your problem lies. I'd do it, but hey.. it's your project :) If you can't figure out what's going on, post an update on your problems and i'll take another look.

  • Adding/Removing items from the main menu

    I don't know why my iPod won't let me add or remove items from my main menu.
    I go
    Settings > Main Menu > (check what I want on the main menu) > Reset Main Menu > Reset
    When I go out to the main menu again, nothing has changed.
    Anyone else having this problem? Thank you for help!

    If you do a reset then you're resetting it to default. If you want to change anything ya just change it to on/and or off, then hit the menu button to go back. Don't go all the way to reset. Hope this helps.

  • Removing items from itunes wish list

    iTunes will currently NOT let me remove items from my wish list inside the itunes store. Even when I've selected the item to buy, it stays in my wish list... I need to remove items that have either been purchased, or that I no longer wish to buy. Thanks for the help!

    Looks like it's not just you having problems : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3093114?tstart=0
    Normally pressing the 'x' on or next to the item should delete it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1368), but it doesn't appear to be working at the moment.

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Manually Removing items form my ipod!

    Can someone please help me! i bought my ipod ready to go on holidya and cant seem to get it to work! I want to remove items that i have put onto the ipod manually. I've read all the help and tutorials and they say that when the ipod o
    is connected a panel should appear underneath so that i can select to remove things, or if this sint there there will be a grey arrow which allows me to open up the items on the ipod and remove them. I have neither! and really want to get it sorted before my holiday which is on monday! Please can someone help me!

    If you are seeing this items in iTunes, make sure your screen resolution is set to 1024x768 through your control panel on your system.
    You can only change your iPod to "manually manage" through your iPod preferences when the iPod is docked to iTunes. At that point, the iPod preference window will be displayed.
