How do I get rid of photo downloader?

Even disabling the darn icon, it comes back at every reboot.
Why Adobe can't resist placing junk software on our PCs?

You don't have to delete it if you don't want to. Just rename it to something like adproxy.exx or anything that doesn't have the "exe" extension. That'll disable it.
Also, Jim wrote, "I agree that not having a means to prevent this thing from autoloading when you boot up is very naughty on the part of Adobe. A mark of adware. Makes you wnader what else Adobe is loading onto your system that is less obvious. . .don't like it at all."
Adobe's been autoloading stuff for years with many of its products. Yes, it's naughty if not downright annoying, especially when your system slows to a crawl every time you reboot. Anyway, whenever I install any
Adobe product, I've gotten into the habit of immediately running msconfig and removing all the detritus Adobe's installers put there. Just a suggestion...

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

    How do I get rid of the "Downloads" button on my bookmarks toolbar? Somehow it just appeared and I can't get rid of it.

    Firefox 20 changed from the old Download Manager to a new Download Panel. You can find a complete write-up here: [[Find and manage downloaded files]].
    I suggest keeping that arrow around since it provides handy notifications. You can use the Customize feature to drag it down to the add-on bar where it won't take up as much space. To start customizing:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
    * tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
    If you really don't need it, just drag it to the Customize dialog. You can always come back for it later if you like.

  • How do I get rid  of a download?

    I have a movie that was downloaded, but now, after thinking I deleted it, it keeps coming back. How do I get rid of the movie permanently?

    What do you mean by, "it keeps coming back?" Back from where? From where was it deleted - your hard drive, iTunes library? Did you put it in the Trash then empty the Trash?

  • How can I get rid of speed download without the uninstaller?

    Having trouble downloading, and reading that speed download could be the problem, I trashed it. The trouble is, I trashed the uninstaller along with everything else. Is there anyway to get rid of speed download? Safari quits when I try to download something, like a widget.

  • How do I get rid of unwanted downloaded apps/programs that "came with" my download?

    I just downloaded PhotoShop Elements 12 - which I needed for work - onto my brand new Mac, and now there are these annoying UNWANTED apps sitting there that I can't get rid of: checkclientstatus, AALauncherUtil and macui. Hope can I dump these things? Really puts a bad taste in my mouth about wanting to download anything else from Adobe in the future.

    kglad - Thanks so much for responding so quickly and trying to help. It took awhile, but I finally found out where they were located and how to dislodge them. It's just incredibly annoying when someone - or something - else lodges itself in your "home" and attaches with electronic superglue...especially when you're just moderately tech-savvy. It's nice to know someone out there - who is - was willing to help.
    (clearly, they weren't apps, but they popped up on my Launchpad like them...as I said, I'm moderately tech-savvy...if that...)

  • How do you get rid of photos?

    i have a ipod touch 4g.  how the heck do you delete photos?  individually or photo folders?  is there a trick or what?

    The same way you put them there.
    The sync process.
    Deselect the folder in itunes and sync
    or
    Remove the photos from the select folder on your comptuer and sync
    or
    Delete the photos from your computer and sync.

  • How Can I get rid of a download, it won't stop processing? Even after I have deleted image from videos?

    How do I delete a download as it won't stop processing? I have even deleted the image from videos but it is still in my download saying processing. Help?

    Hi Sanjampet,
    Yes, it was a folder from a website. It was a backup of a website (the website was hacked into at one point if that matters). I kept the backups in a folder on my laptop. I was able to delete the other backups, but this one was giving me an issue for some reason. The other day when I was having this issue and you were trying to help me solve it, it was showing that I only had (about) 158 GB of memory left on my computer, but when I was finally able to delete the folder and all of its content it was showing that I had over 250 GB of memory left. I don't understand how a website's backup folder can be that large :S Was that why I was having so much trouble doing anything with it?
    I could drag the entire folder into the trash can, but if I tried to empty the trash it would just do what was showing in the picture from my original post
    Thank you so much!

  • How do i get rid of a "download" bar glitch in the dock?

    Underneath the icon for downloads in the dock, i often get a bar that won't go away after download. Is there any way to fix this issue?

    Can you take a screen shot and post t?
    Also, it is very hard for people to help when we don't know which of the many iMac variatnts you have was what version of the Mac operating system you are running. Also let us know if this is limited to a specific program or happens no matter what you are doing with the computer.
    A good place to start is with "About this Mac" from your Apple menu:

  • How do I get rid of the downloaded files showing on my desktop?

    That is what do I have to do so that my downloads do not show up on the desktop whether they are simple documents or program files?  If I put them in the trash it seems to delete them altogether... Any advice will be very welcome as my desktop is almost full of downloaded file icons

    It's not good practice to have a desktop full of icons. Is that your default download location? If so, you'd do better to designate a new destination, maybe the Downloads folder on your user account. Or any folder you create.
    Each web browser will allow you to select a destination in its preferences.

  • How do I get rid of photos of senders in my email inbox?

    All of a sudden my email inbox is showing photos of some people from whom I receive emails.  I dont want to see these.  I prefer the shadowy silouette.

    Then you must have photos for those contacts in your Address Book. Open up those contacts, click on the photo and delete their photos.

  • How can one get rid of 100MB download limit over cellular?

    It is a big limitation , I thinks such unnecessary and unexplained rules create a lot of dissatisfaction . Why should we be restricted to download on ou own iPad ?

    This limit is due to agreement between Apple and the cell carriers, the latter of whom don't want to see their limited bandwidth taken up by people downloading huge files. If you want to see that limit changed, you should provide feedback to Apple;
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    and to your cell carrier.
