How can I remove Hot Deals adware from my macbook pro, OSX 10.9.4?

Cannot even use Safari because aggressive popups cover the screen constantly.  My kids also use this computer so I do not know where adware might have come from.

Download and run the adware removal tool here >   The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
Just clicking on an advertisement on a webpage can install malware.

    How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    Drag it to the Trash.
    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, EasyFind, instead.
    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 many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

    To move to another machine:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    To move to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards

  • How can I completely delete an app from my Macbook Pro?

    How can I completely delete an app from my Macbook Pro?

    For programs that do not require an Administrator's password to install on your Mac, drag its program icon to the Trash. For those that require a password, research its developer's website or other support options for specific uninstallation instructions.
    Never use all-purpose "cleaners" or "zappers" or similarly named clever utilities to uninstall anything.

  • How can i download my word documents from my macbook pro to my IPad?

    I have many documents on my macbook pro that are word documents i want to download to my new IPad. How can i do this. I have read there is a way to do it through ITunes, but i have no idea how to do that either?
    Help

    You can copy documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports the type of document that you want to copy - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    For word documents the options include Apple's Pages app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • How can I remove a table entirely from a Pages document (OSX, not iOS)?

    I can remove the text, and reduce it down to 1 by 1, and even then I suppose I could remove the borders and hide it. But there must be a way that I'm missing. Can anyone guide me?

    A table is an object just like an image. Select it by clicking on it or its border so you can see it getting small squares. Then you can delete it.
    If you see x instead of squares it is locked and you have to unlock it first. Arrange > Unlock.

  • How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook Pro to my IMac

    I use my 13" MBP in my van for business and store my job photos on it using iPhoto. I would like to keep a copy of my entire MBP iPhoto library on my iMac also.
    I do have a 2tb time capsule that I use to back up both computers. Is there a way to connect the two units and copy the complete library from the MBP to the iMac, without losing any content. Will all my albums be listed exactly as they are on the MBP. The library contains 19,000 + photos , or about 23 gbs of data.
    I just recently made the switch to all Apple gear and love it, but I do need some assistance with this matter. Thanks
    Mark

    Sure - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the MBP to the pictures folder of the iMac - launch iPhoto on the iMac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • I can't remove third party apps from my macbook pro.

    I have installed some third party apps and now want to delete them. The apps are: MorphVOX, YTD, and Paintbrush. I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do. Please help me. I have macbook pro OS X 10.9.4

    I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do.
    What happens when you try?  Have you tried holding down the Command(⌘) key and then drag to the Trash bin in the Dock?
    Do the apps have an uninstaller that came with the app? Many do.  Check the website for them to see if one is offered.
    Do not try to use CleanMyMac, MacKeeper or any of those types of apps to do the trick.  They will damage your system.
