How Do I Delete a download on my macbook pro

How do I delete a download from my macbook pro OSX Mavericks OSX 10.9.5

If you haven't installed it, control-click the Downloads icon on the Dock, choose Show in Finder or Open Downloads, select that item, throw it away, and empty the Trash. If it's a dmg, you may need to unmount that first.
If you've drag-installed an application, remove it as above.
If you've actually run an installer, find and use an uninstaller.

    How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?

    If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

  • How do I delete an iphone from my MacBook Pro devices?

    I had backed up my iPhone5 to my MacBook Pro.  My wife wanted to back up hers as well on my MBP, and I added hers as well. 
    Just before we upgraded to iPhone6, I synced my iPhone5 (OK).  I could not, however, finish syncing (had to abort) my wife's iPhone5.  I would now like to delete that device from my MacBook Pro to free up more memory.  She is now backing everything up to the Cloud.  I am using my MacBook Pro and a time-aching back-up to an external drive. 
    Help, please! 
    Thank you! 

    Open iTunes and click Preferences on the menu named iTunes, then click Devices in the Preferences window, select the device and click Delete Backup.
    You can also delete apps that have been downloaded by going to the iTunes View menu, click Apps, click an App and then use the Delete key.

  • How do I delete Flash cookies on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS X?

    Hi there! Since switching over to the Mavericks OS X, my husband noticed that I had over 3000 cookies stored in my laptop. After deleting cookies in eash browser, we noticed they are still there. After some googling, I suspect that it is Flash cookies that are installed in my computer. How do I delete these? On a couple of websites, that appears to have outdated information, they recommended downloading the Flush app. I noticed it is no longer available.
    Anyone care to help?

    System Preferences > Flash and you can delete all info there manually, or set it to not accept information.
    What I use is the free Firefox web browser + Ghostery and Click&Clean.
    Ghostery has a option to delete Flash and Silverlight cookies upon exit (if enabled in preferences)
    Click&Clean wipes everything when the browser is closed.
    Firefox also has click to play, so Flash and other plugins are not running on every site, rather one has to click to enable it when they want as to prevent those from running and placing/retriving cookies in the first place. Better security also.
    And there is more than just Flash cookies, there are web bugs, mouse trackers, history sniffers, HTML and Ever Cookies, plus all sorts of webside exploits.
    Only by enabling Javascript/scripts only on sites you trust can you avoid a lot of this nonsense, the only easy method is to use Firefox and the NoScript add-on, which you drag a "temp allow all" button to the toolbar in Firefox to click on sites you trust.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript
    Also Ad Block Plus is also advised, as ad's can deliver makware and slow down the browsing speed.

  • How do I delete photo booth from my macbook pro?

    I'm deleting some unneeded applications from my new Macbook Pro.  I have been successful with most and all of them that are not required as part of the OS system.  However, there are other apps that are more difficult to remove as I was able to go into Utilities and Terminal and type in some other specific applications that I wanted to remove (like Stickies, Chess, etc.).  However, one I am having trouble deleting is Photo Booth.  I also want to disable the webcam so I cannot even activate it by mistake.  Can someone tell me how to do that?
    I was successful in removing all of the icons other than Finder, Safari and Trash from the bottom of my screen now that I have deleted everything else and it is much cleaner.
    Thank you!

    Here's an app that supposedly will disable your isight. Says it works in Lion, maybe it will work in ML too: Download iSight Disabler for Mac - Quickly turn on/off your USB iSight. MacUpdate.comhttps://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler
    Here's a thread with several possible solutions for disabling the isight: Is there a way to turn off and On the...: Apple Support Communities
    And here is a page with a Terminal command for deleting Photo Booth: How to Delete Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Other Default Mac OS X Apps
    As a general rule, however, removing system software is a bad idea.
    If you're really paranoid about the camera, then a little piece of tape over the lens would do the trick!

  • Have storage optimised with Photo Library but need more space - How do I delete photos just off my MacBook Pro and not from other devices and icloud

    Hiya,
    I moved a 40GB file off my MacBook Pro to make room so that I could enable the iCloud Photo Library. I optimised the storage but during this process it used 10GB of space and so I cant now put back the file I took off my mac. I though that once I had optimised the storage I would gain space not loose it!. So i'm wondering how can I delete photos off my MacBook and not off all my devices and so I can get this 40 GB file back on ??
    Cheers

    Hi, that's how it works. photos in Photo Stream are these ones that actually exist on your Camera Roll. Photo Stream is an iClous service that helps you to share photos. Just think about Dropbox or any other cloud services, isn't it that you delete a file on your computer, then found the file no longer exist on your other devices?
    If you want to keep the photos while making them occupy less space, I suggest you try SafeEraser's Photo Compressor feature. It compress the photos and make it easy for you to keep them on your iPhone without losing much quality.

  • How do i delete songs using iTunes from macbook pro

    i synced my iphones to a new i tunes library and now i have three unwated songs how do i delete them?

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
