How can i uninstall Smart Connect?

Sony Z1 Compact - an incredible lovely piece of hardware.
Sony Z1 Compact Smart Connect - an incredibly annoying piece of software!
Somehow Sony has chosen (I bet for evil reasons - I simply can't find any other reason), to disable the option of uninstalling Smart connect on Z1 compact. Why do I want to uninstall it? Well every freaking time I'm BT connected I get the apps startup screen bragging about what it can do for me. I know **bleep** well what it can do for me. I have been using Tasker for ages and want to continue using it, simply because I think its better and because I WANT TO!!! (read that Sony) - that is the whole idear about Android. Then to be able to uninstall it I have to root my phone - for that I need to use sonys fastboot. And the install procedure doest not work! No where in the Sony community help you there. So know I'm left with a product that I don't like anymore. 
The above is the extreme diplomatic version of my frustrations about Sony. I went from Samsung to Sony because of the nice size and good processor and the waterproof ness. But now I learned that Sony is using all the dirty tricks to force me to do stuff I don't want to. 
I can't convince you that I will ditch Sony from now on to everybody I know. When Sony has choosen to be evil, I will be evil. And in about a year or two, Sony migh be wondering why the heck their sales didn't go up as planned. Well I will tell you why - I'm not alone about these frustrations.

  • How can I uninstall yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programs

    How can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programsThis had been the worst os system apple has come out, too many errors
    too many to list.
    a few
    Losing all mail. and watching them disappear in front of my eyes and could nothing about it
    also when accessing cloud the screen just rolls in when accessing mail, like loading and loading and loading for 1 to 2 minuets.
    I did not up grade my Mac Book Pro, and is working fine,
    Just my iMac, its act kile avid card and it only happens access iCloud mail.
    so I want to and need to go back to Loin

    You can't unless you have a current backup of your old Lion system because the first thing you must do is erase the drive. It 's possible to use Target Disk Mode between your iMac and the MBP in order to clone the MBP to the iMac. However, that will still erase everything on the iMac's drive.
    Or you could see about getting Yosemite to work correctly. If you have IMAP mail, then your mail should be intact.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • 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.

  • How Can I Uninstall Thinkvantage Password Manager?

    How can I uninstall or disable this without compromising my fingerprint reader?
    Failing that, how can I remove an application so Password Manager no longer tries to "help" me with its password?

    I've just upgraded to Windows 7, and I've yet to activate the Client Security software, so I can't be specific on what may have changed from Vista.
    In the Vista version of Password Manager, I recall there was an "Options" or "preferences" item in the menu bar of the program. Within the options then displayed, it was possible to switch off the manager's recognition of Windows programs' password entry, or for internet browsers' password entry, and maybe one or two other classes of programs. So in your case, switching off recognition of all Windows programs might do it.
    Oh, one more thing: I'm pretty sure both Password Manager and the Fingerprint Manager are dependant on the Client Security Solution (CSS) software package installation, since the latter contains the bits and pieces of the framework that connects them all together with the "Trusted Platform Module"  (TPM), the hardware encryption device that's soldered onto the main board of the notebook, as well as the biometric hardware.
    Since the CSS has these dependencies (while using the TPM drivers provided in Windows), it's really an all-or-nothing proposition: either you use it, or you switch entirely to another security suite solution vendor such as UPEK, who will use their own security framework, password manager, and fingerprint software.
    Windows 7 is significantly more flexible than Vista here: for instance the UPEK security suite uses the "Windows 7 Biometric Device Framework", meaning that any hardware device with drivers for that framework will work "out of the box" with the UPEK security suite, while Vista still depends on manufacturer's device driver kits--e.g. with Vista, the UPEK suite will only support UPEK fingerprint hardware, not the Authentec devices installed on some Thinkpads.

  • 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...

  • How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.

    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.

    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.)

    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.
