How can i clean off all my third party applcations

How can i clean off all my third party applacations from the internet?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

    How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
    Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
    I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
    Help!

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • How can I cleanly reinstall all Safari?

    My wife is having lots of issues with Safari on her iMac. Tabs don't open when told in preferences to do so, they only open a new window and display nothing but a blank page (I've even tried the command line tricks to fix this, it works once and then it fails again). She has pages that won't load for no apparent reason and my PC and Mac work fine, among other odd issues.
    I used +locate -i+ after a /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb as root to locate any file on my mac that had the word Safari in it. I then did a rm -rf on all of those files and reinstalled Safari. We still get the same issues.
    Am I missing something else? I'd like to completely remove Safari and reinstall. As a last resort I will install the OS over itself but I can't afford a clean install at this point because I can't back up her home directory right now. They only thing I'm backing up is her bookmarks.

    Hi,
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari (Commadn + Q)
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Now launch Safari. See if that makes a difference.
    And empty the Safari cache more often. Command + Option + E
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be an Extension causing the problem.
    And if nothing above has helped, try troubleshooting third party Safari add ons.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Safari doesn't always help.
    And login to another account. Try Safari there. Same behavior then check the startup disk for errors.
    Click here: Then click: *Try Disk Utility*

  • How can I turn off all sharing on my Macbook

    I am a new Mac user and although I love it I am unfamiliar with the sharing options and how they work. I haven't gotten a clear answer yet but my question is how can I ensure that I am not sharing any of my files. I can see other users who are sharing. Will other users still be able to see me if I am not sharing and how do I turn it off. Thank You.

    Go to System Preferences -> Sharing. If everything there is turned off, nobody can access any of your files remotely.
    For that matter, even if you have stuff turned on, if it's all configured correctly, someone would need to know a password to access anything.

  • How can I use Drupal as a third party CMS with ATG E-Commerce Application?

    Hi Friends,
    We are planning to use a third party Freeware Content Management System (CMS) for web site content in ATG E-Commerce Application, instead of ATG content Administration or merchandising.
    Can anybody please let me know how can I use a third party CMS(Eg: Drupal) with ATG E-Commerce Application?
    Regards,
    Krishna.

    I did create a rule to determine if anyone coming through time eval is a new hire based on vacation elig. date in IT0041.  It compares Today to the vacation elig. date and if they match, set a time type indicator to 1.  I also added another decision to determine if they were a part time employee and pro-rate their quota entitlement based on what's in their IT0007 weekly working hours.  Instead of setting the time type indicator to 1, I recalculated based on a percentage of 40 hrs/wk and then updated the time type to that percentage.  In my quota generation rule I use that time type as a multiplication factor to recalculate their new pro-rated amount rounded up to the nearest whole number.

  • How can I have SAP to identify third party new hires as a new employee?

    Hello,
    Situation:
    Our company has changed our vacation quota policy for new hires.  In 2011, new hires did not receive any vacation their first year.  In 2012, that policy has changed to give them vacation based on how many months are left in the year.  Example:
    If hired Jan 1 - June 30 = 80 hrs, July 1 - Oct 31 = 40 hrs, Nov = 24 hrs, Dec = 0 hrs.  I have configured the Rules for Generating Absence Quotas to make this happen, however we've discovered a slight problem.
    If a new hire has never been in our system, the logic works perfectly, however, in the case of third party employees, they are already in the system, thus have a Actions infotype with their third party onboarding hire date. At this point they are defined as employee group = 3.  After 90 days, we hire them as a production employee, employee group = P, so now they are now a company employee.  When they process through the generation rules, the system does not recognize they are a new hire employee because it uses their Actions entry date based on their third party onboarding entry.
    Question:
    When determining seniority, I'd like the system to use their third pary new hire action and not the third party onboarding action. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

  • How can I call reports from a third party tool?

    Hi!
    I'm a Delphi 6 developer and our company has a customer that want to call reports created in Crystal Reports directly from our software.
    What is the quickest way to open a report from a third party tool (passing parameters) ?
    There is a way to do that without embedding Crystal VCL components in Delphi?   I'm searching for a command line tool or a way to open it with URLs....
    Thanks in advance!
    Edited by: AlmirB on May 23, 2011 6:25 PM

    One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports viewers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides a full command line API, so you can call a report from your app and pass parameter values, login info, etc.

  • How can I use iCloud calendars for third party webapps?

    Hi, I thought of having my calendar on a page, where I also type in my AppleID and then be able to read (and write) new calendar-entries.
    Is that possible? If so, how?

    iCloud calendars are just industry standard CalDAV calendars, so assuming you have the programming knowledge to use the CalDAV protocol you can read/write to iCloud calendars.
    These links may point you in the right direction:

    Apple also has a specific iCloud section of their Developer site, but you need to be a registered developer to access it:

  • How to use message queue for inegrating third party with EBS

    Hi Experts,
    We would like to integrate a third party system with EBS using message queues.
    Where we will subscribe to a businnes event and which will populate the messages to messages queue.
    But how can we deque this message in third party systems. We are in R12.1.3 and no FMW installed.
    Any adapater or something is availabe, If so please throw some inputs.
    Thanks
    Bhaart

    Please go to the link
    http://developer.novell.com/extend/composer/1006.html
    and also see the "message filtering" section.
    Where you can find
    Exposing message selection hints in the header portion of a message is a common tactic when multiple receiving apps are pointed at the same queue. The application that is best suited to handling a given message type can harvest just the messages it needs, while other applications can act on messages better suited for them. Administratively, it is more efficient to set up one queue (with multiple receivers accessing it) than to set up multiple queues, each with a dedicated receiver. My question is how can I achieve this Via progamatically ?

  • With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?

    With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?
    For example, in Notes, I have written three notes; however if I click on 'All On My Mac' on the side bar, I see about 10 different versions of each note I make, it saves a version every time I add or delete a sentence.
    I also noticed, that when I write an email, Mail saves about 10 or more draft versions before the final is sent.
    I understand that all this journaling provides a level of security, and prevents data lost; but I was wondering, is there a function to clean up journal logs once in a while?
    Thanks

    Are you using Microsoft word?  Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users.  I have seen this message from Microsoft word.  It's annoying.
    As BDaqua points out...
    When you copy information via edit > copy,  command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
    If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information.  Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
    You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes.  command + s does a save.

    How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

    I just clean installed maverick on my computer and I have nothing in my iTunes library, how can I get back all the music I have bought?

    From your backups. By doing a clean install you erased your startup volume. You may have installed OS X, but your personal software was erased. You can restore from backups if your have them. If not, then you've lost it all, permanently.
