How can I uninstall Skype for modern UI from windo...

Hi,
I am running the tech preview of windows 10. I exclusively use desktop mode and have Skype for Windows desktop installed. I have never installed Skype for Modern UI. However when I receive an incoming call I get two call answer dialogs, one from the desktop client and one from the modern UI client. I have tried right click the modern UI skype icon in the start menu and choosing uninstall however that only opens the uninstall a program control panel windows. This window only shows the desktop version as being available for uninstallation.
The annoying thing is that after I answer using the desktop cient the modern UI client keeps ringing forever or until I click on the X (close windows) icon in the top right corner of the notification dialog. If I take the call on my win 8 laptop (desktop client) then my desktop modern UI client will continue to ring forever. If I am using my laptop at work and take a call at say 11 am, when I get home at 6 pm the modern UI client is sitting there still ringing from the 11 o'clock call which was answered on a different computer hours before.
I have uninstalled the desktop client from the windows 10 desktop and then used regedit to remove every registry key I can find with skype in it and then re-installed the desktop client but the modern UI client comes back too? Is there anyway to get rid of the modern UI client on windows 10, it is most annoying!

Hi,
Windows 10 Tech Preview is an unsupported platform currently while we at Microsoft are working towards the release of the OS update later this year.
The suggested workaround is indeed to uninstall the "Skype for modern Windows" client and only use "Skype for Windows desktop". If you are struggling with getting the modern client removed please have a look at "Settings -> Apps" and try to remove it there.

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...

How can I uninstall Skype?

I changed from windows to a mac about 18 months ago and I can't beleive the difficulties I have had.. I have been unable to download the latest version of Skype for many months now.. I have googled and followed every post I can find on the subject and ended up with more rubbish in my hard drive that I cant get rid of and still no success.. With windows uninstalling was always a straight forward simple operation.. Ok forgive me I'm so frustrated.. I will try to explain the problem:
When the new version of skype arrived I tried to download it and after apparently downloading it says "Skype was unable to install the update because the old application cant be overwritten" so then I google and read that I need to uninstall the old version first.. why this happened I don't know as alwasy before new versions downloaded without a problem.. so when I find it (Skype.app) in finder it will not drag to trash.. though it does not seem to be in 'Applications' or 'Utilities' it seems to be amongst some pictures?.. I have tried to move it to Applications but again it seems it will not be moved?.. I also have a Skype 'disc image' in my trash and when I try to empty trash it says "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Skype_5.8.0.945.dmg is in use". It says this even after I quit skype. I then read somewhere that the way to get rid of it was use 'app cleaner' so I downloaded that and it didnt work and now i seem to be stuck with that in my dock and yet i cant find it anywhere else and it doesn't seem to do anything? All this happened months ago when after hours of frustration I just gave up and decided to live with the old version of skype.. Then today I was trying to clean up a few things I dont want and ended up trying again.. this time i downloaded another thing called AppTrap which is now also stuck in my trash because it didnt work either and now I cant get rid of that either! By now you are probably thinking I am a halfwit! well I have never been great with all this stuff but when I had a windows PC I managed to uninstall things without a problem.. I have found some explanations of how to solve these kind of issues that sound like you have to be not only a computer genius but also have endless free time which I just dont have.. can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hi, sorry to hear the problems & frustration.
The DMG might be mounted, & Skype may be running in the background...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), then...
To completely uninstall, and then reinstall Skype for Mac:
Quit Skype by selecting Skype > Quit Skype.
Open your Applications folder and drag your copy of Skype to the trash.
Then open ~/Library/Application Support * and drag the Skype folder to the trash. The ~ sign represents your home folder. To find your home folder, open Finder and, from the menu bar, select Go > Home.
Important: If you’d like to keep your chat and call history, skip this step.
Open ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.skype.skype.plist to the trash.
Open Finder and search for “Skype” using the search feature in Mac OS X. Move all of the results returned to the trash.
Click Ctrl and the trash icon, and select Empty Trash.
Restart your computer.
Download and install the latest version of Skype.
Get help with installing Skype.
*By default, the Library folder is hidden in Mac OS X v10.7 “Lion” and higher. To find your Library folder, open Finder and, from the menu bar, select Go, press and hold the option key, and then select Library.
Reboot.

How can I uninstall Labview run time engine from the machine?

I understand that Labview has not given any provision to show customized 'License Agreement screen'. Isn't it? This is the main cause of my problem. Since I want to show our own license agreement (LA) screen, I made the one using Labview. To show this license agreement screen, I first install a small application which has only this LA screen with Labview run time engine. The customer can see License Agreement Screen with Labview Run Time Engine on his machine. If My customer accepts the LA, I will install the main application further by calling another setup.EXE file.
If my customer selects 'Do Not Agree' to the LA, I will quit the installation process. Here I also want to 'uninstall' Labview Run Time Engine
from his machine since he doesn't accept License. I would like to know how to uninstall Labview run time engine from his machine?
Another way which I could think is to run the LA screen from the CD with Labview run time engine on the CD. I will start installing the main S/W to the customer's machine with LABview Run Time Engine only after he accepts License agreement. I would like to know how to run the Labview application from CD without installing run time engine on the target machine?
Can anyone suggest solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Chander

J-Tek,
I would suggest re-installing the Run-time Engine and then uninstalling it after a reboot. Also, you can download a program called Msicuu.exe (for NT, 2000, XP or Msicu.exe for 9x) to help clean up the registry for uninstalled programs.

How can I wirelessly in for a song from my iTunes library on my PC to my iPad

I would think it would be a way to import a song from my iTunes library to my iPad if I wanted to take a few songs or maybe an album with me on the iPad I don't want to use a USB cable and connected to the computer I'd like to do it wirelessly. Have Apple home sharing set up and thought I could just browse my iTunes library from the iPad and import a song that would be great if that works but I don't see a way to do it hoping that there's alternative ways to accomplish this.   Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Do you want to stream them to you or transfer them?   And are you talking about at home on your wifi network, or anywhere?
If away from home, the only way to get the songs is to download them as you want them from I cloud. The cloud will not stream.
If you are home, you can go either way. If you want to transfer them, then pick them on the computer, and sync. You cannot pick the songs to sync from the pad or phone.      If you are home, and you want to just listen to them, you can stream to your device using AirPlay. Assuming all devices are on the same network with the same apple id, you can play song that live on your computer on your phone or pad.
In the music app, at the bottom, touch more, and your shared library will be available.

How can I uninstall the demo of iWork from my Mac?

I have Microsoft Office on my new mac and every time I try to open a word document or powerpoint presentation, I end up launching the demo version of iWork.
I would like to know how to remove it from my computer so this doesn't happen anymore.
Thanks.

Removing iWork from your computer is incredibly easy -- just drag it to the trash.
But that won't address the root of your problem. Your "problem" will be resolved if you just make the MS Word and PowerPoint applications the default applications to open your MS Word and PowerPoint documents (respectively).
Select an MS Word document in a Finder window and select "Get Info..." from the File menu. Click on the "Open with" disclosure triangle, then choose the MS Word application from the pop-up window and click on "Change All...".
Perform a similar sequence with a PowerPoint document (but choose the PowerPoint application from the "Open with" pop-up).

how can i uninstall windows 8.1 preview from my macbook pro?? ive looked for over an hour for the readme file for the windows 8.1 preview and have had no luck. ive done almost everything i can think of at the moment and nothing is working. somebody please help, thanks

Windows 8.1 Preview cannot be uninstalled. However, if what you want is to remove Windows completely, start up in OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to remove the Windows partition.
If what you want is to install the final Windows 8.1 version, read this Microsoft support article > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-preview

Only takes a few minutes or less to complete.

How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial? During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial? During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

Thanks for your help. I cannot open the application (Acrobat XI) because I did not buy it. Every time I want to open a .pdf, I have to remember to take the extra step of going to "open with" and then select "Acrobat X". When I forget to do that, the XI "default" opens a window that gives me another chance to buy XI -- that's what I want to get rid of. Another approach (perhaps?) would be to change to default setting from "Adobe XI" to Adobe X" (the way it was before I tried the XI trial). But I don't know how to do that.

You don't. The only place to obtain apps for any iPhone is the app store. However, most, if not all of those apps won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone & most developers no longer support it.
