How do i completely delete an app from my computer

I bought a Macbook pro second hand and there are existing apps installed that were purchased under the previous users apple ID.  How do I completely uninstall those apps so that I can purchase my own, specifically Final Cut, Motion and Compressor?

    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 completely delete the message app from my mac?

    As per email.
    Hi,
    In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
    Navigate to the Preferences folder.
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
    This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
    If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    On the iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Messages  and check the app is ON first.
    Then check the Send and Receive Section.
    This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
    Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
    If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
    This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
    Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
    After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
    You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
    (I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
    You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
    If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
    Please stick to one method of asking me  (The thread will do for now.)
    I am here 3 hours every evening.
    I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
    I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
    Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
    In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
    Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that.  (The Status Message one will not)
    You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font  is the answer.

  • How can i completely delete an app from my "app purchased" account

    my son purchased an app which we want to completely delete from "apps purchased" file,
    can delete it fr the home screen but, its still "on" the apps purchased (but not on this device option)
    any ideas please

    You can't.  The Purchased List is not user modifiable since its what Apple uses to know what Apps you can re-download without having to pay for them again.
    You can however Hide the App so it does not appear on the List.

    You need to to this From iTunes on a computer.

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

  • How to completely delete an app from your app history

    If you go to your purchases in iTunes you will find everything you have downloaded (apps,music,movies etc.). how do you completely delete an app or movie, not how do you hide the app, but how you delete it forever.

    You can't.

  • TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

    Will that also delete it from iCloud?  I have free versions of apps, which I liked so much I subsequently bought the full version, so I no longer have any reason to keep the free ones.

  • How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

    Hi
    I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata.  In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40).  Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
    Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility.  I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
    So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore?  Isn't this a bug???
    I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
    WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
    Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
    but no such file appaers to exist.  In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
    i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

  • TS1702 how do i completely remove an app from iTunes

    Every time I start iTunes all apps are downloading . When I remove them and delete them,  next time I start iTunes they start downloading again.How can I stop these apps downloading again and again?  Garry Rogers

    Hello korkyk,
    Thank you for providing all the details of the issue you are experiencing.  I found some steps you can take.
    To delete the app from iTunes, follow these steps without your iPhone connected to the computer:
    Apps>Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the app you deleted again (it depends on where you live).
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
    Click the app you want to delete.
    Press the Delete on your keyboard.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    You won't be able to delete the purchase from the Apple ID, but you can hide the purchase:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
