How can I uninstall a plugin?

I want to uninstall the Adobe Reader plugin for Safari, but I can't figure out how, nor can I find the topic in the support section of the Apple site.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you want to keep Adobe Reader on your HD? If not, trash the application and the plugin mentioned by Mulder.
If yes, first open Adobe Reader, go to the Preferences>Internet panel and deselect Reader as your PDF reader of choice. Then, go to the Internet Plugin folder and move the Adobe PDF plugin to the Internet Plugin (disabled) folder (create one in the Library if one does not exist). This way, if you want to go back to Reader, all you need to do is move the PDF plugin back to an active folder, then reactivate the Preference setting within Reader.

How can I uninstall Garageband

How can I uninstall garage band in order to reinstall it.
I have been having problems creating files and songs on GarageBand 10.10.3
I have deleted a couple of songs and re-created them thinking the songs might have been corrupt.
Still the same problem the play is Herky jerky and doesn't function properly.
Do not want to use a third-party application to uninstall but want to be sure that when I uninstall GarageBand before reinstalling that it will get all of the components that might be corrupted.
I can drag the icon to the trash but will that take all of the components in the Mac with it.

Hello. Léonie
Yes indeed have a AU plugin called a RoughRider.component, and RoughRider.vst in the COMPONENT folder in Plug Ins, in Audio, where the maker (? at the moment, Cat something) told me to put them. It is a compressor suggested by a YOUTUBE guru, free and a must have, hmmm!!!!
Now this AU plugin is used in a track for vocals on this song. I could delete the vocal track (want it to be better anyway) then delete the AU from the Component folder. If I don't delete the vocal track, GB will not like that the track was recorded with something that is no longer there correct?
Let me also state that my AudioBox is a USB plugged into a Belkin Powered HUB plugged into he USB on the MAC.
I was thinking to just plug the A-Box USB direct to the MAC but was under the understanding that stuff plugged into the USB takes juice or 'energy', (sorry) something to be desired by running USB's off the Mac power.
I will wait for your reply as to the best way, 'IYHO', (in your honest opinion) as to dump the RoughRider.component and the RoughRider.vst before I just grab and delete and...... as last straw delete GB and reinstall. The reason for the question of just grabbing GB to the trash is all the files that are on the MAC associated with the application
To reinstall GarageBand 10.0.3 it should suffice to select GarageBand on the Launchpad, hold down on it until it starts to wiggle, and then press the "x" in the upper left corner to uninstall it.
Never knew about Launchpad, now I've learned another thing, thanks.

How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
end of the burned DVD.
In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
end of burned projects.
This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
but the system will not let me.
Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
components and install iLife '06?
Thanks

I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS 3 from my Mac, without an uninstaller?

How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS3 from my Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? It has never opened, since I increased the Mac's capacity to 2 TB. Now I want to throw the Photoshop CS3 away and get a brand new Photoshop CS5. There does not seem to be an uninstaller anywhere to be found. Adobe spent an hour and a half on the phone with me and could not find a work-around. We tried to reinstall the CS3 from the disk, but the installations failed.
An earlier Photoshop CS2 is also on the computer and needs to be uninstalled.
Is there a way to rescue my computer and put the new Photoshop on it?

You need to manually delete the caps.db (somewehre in the Library:Application Support:Adobe folder) and then you can trash the program folders. Without an existing caps.db, a new one wil lbe created from scratch and al linstalls should run as if there never was anything on the system just as conversely you should not have trouble simply deleting the old versions...

My mac keeps freezing...How can I uninstall lion?

My mac keeps freezing on me, particularly when Im on safari. The most annoying part is that it happens three or four times in a matter of an hour, and then Im prompted to submit a report that feels like a joke considering that we have yet to see an update for lion solving this issue, and the problem persists. How can I uninstall lion and get macs previous iOS back?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

You don't uninstall an entire operating system. You reinstall the old one:

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT. How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

How can I uninstall Lion?

I'm getting a window saying the installation has failed, that I should reinstall Lion. How can I uninstall it?

http://www.apple.com/support/lion/installrecovery/
And this link for How to create Lion Recovery Drive just went MIA / "404"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4713
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
You can also use the OS X Lion installer from the Mac App Store to create an external bootable drive, complete with a Recovery HD partition. See this article for more details. This approach will, at least, create a bootable drive with Recovery HD which you can carry with you in case you need to use Internet Restore or make use of the other utilities Recovery HD provides.
