How do i remove codec m from my mac

How do I remove codec m from my mac???
Every time I try to uninstall this program, it never works. I have tried moving the items to the trash, but the product still remains! HELP

My friend's MacBook was infected with this awhile back. Here is the order I would uninstall it. There is a LaunchAgent in /Users/<your username>/Library/LaunchAgents, move the launch agent to the trash, then restart your mac. After that, there is a named Codec-M in /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/, trash that whole folder. Finally, trash the app found in the Applications folder, and make sure that none of the web browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) have a Codec-M extension or add-on installed. If they do remove them and you should be good to go after you empty your trash.

How do I remove iTunes U from my Mac?

How do I remove iTunes U from my Mac? Or permanently remove files from iTunes U?
I made the mistake and added my own local files to iTunes U. I deleted them from iTunes U. Now when I add the files back into iTunes, it places them in iTunes U.
Thanks in advance.

In iTunes Right Click on your file that you want removed from iTunes U and select Get Info. Select the Options tab. Go down to Media kind and select something other than iTunes U and click Ok. That should do it...
Cheers!

How can I remove Snow leopard from my Mac, it crash all important programs

Please tell me how I can remove Snow Leopard from my machine & revert back to Leopard 10.5.8
Since I loaded Snow leopard, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark & Mail all quit over & over again. I never had ANY of these issues before loading snow leopard. I rely daily on the programs I listed. I am not saying once in a while, but constantly; opening the programs, exporting, placing graphics, emailing, you name it, it quits the program I am in. I keep sending apple the crash reports, but I am afraid I have reached my end. (Apple must have a folder fu;l of crashes with my email address in it by now.)
To maintain my sanity PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this without risking loosing any of my data.
I do have time machine hooked up.
Please be a life saver (sanity saver) and tell me how to get Snow Leopard off my machine!!!!!

First, Welcome to the Discussions,
Second, there is no way to successfully degrade an OS to a previous version. You would have to install anew a previous OS, thereby erasing all your data. Then you would take that version up as far as you want to go.
Of course if you've been using Time Machine you can recover to the prior system and retain your files using that.
Best of all would be to have a firewire external drive and use an app like this to make a clone on. No worries then if one wants to go back before any major changes very precisely.

How do I remove an entry from my .Mac Sync list?

I use Soho Notes and even though I've instructed it (through their own software) not to sync their Notes and Keywords with .Mac Sync, those items continue to show up as choices. I've un-checked them of course, but how can I remove them completly?
Thanks,

HI John,
I just found this: Instructions on resetting data:
How to reset .Mac Sync
If you are going to reset the sync data, make sure to reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible. Here's how to reset .Mac Sync.
To reset your .Mac Sync data in Mac OS X 10.4:
Make sure that all your data is correct and current in Address Book, iCal, Safari bookmarks, Keychain, Mail, and other applications that use .Mac Sync, and make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
Open System Preferences and click .Mac.
Click the Advanced tab and then click Reset Sync Data.
From the Replace pop-up menu, choose the information you want to reset, such as Bookmarks, Keychains, or all data.
Click the right arrow button so that the orange arrow flows from the computer icon to the .Mac icon in the window, and the text above the icons says "On .Mac with sync info from this computer."
Hopefully this will help you Remove or Add items to the list. I just tried it on my own and it worked like a charm.

How do i remove osx server from my mac mini and just run mac osx lion

i don'r wish to run osx server just osx lion. how do i remove the server software?

One possibility is to obtain the DMG for OS X Lion, boot from it and reinstall the client version.
In my past experience, you'll keep the OS X Lion Server recovery partition, but you will most definitely be running OS X Lion without the server software deployed.
(I'm not sure if you can uninstall the Server software from a Mac Mini Server -- this appears to be integrated with the OS)

How do I remove ransom ware from my mac? Seems the PC instructions don't work...

My computer was attacked with this ransom ware with the Finnish police text, asking me to pay 100€. I find instructions on how to remove this lock from my computer only for PC users. Is there an equivalent for Mac users?

Good morning Tåbbe, from your description, I believe you are dealing with Browlock. Your lock screen should look very similar to this: Browlock is in a sense simpler than other ransomware, as the "lock screen" is actually just a web page that uses tricks to make it difficult to close. Depending on your browser, forcefully closing your browser should already do the trick of removing this threat. If you are having troubles with that, the nice folks at support can help you out. This said, if the lockscreen above does not look like the one you are seeing, please post more pictures and we'll help you identify what you have. Regards, Paolo

How do I remove a virus from my mac book pro?

I think I have virus on my mac book pro. When I google Bank of America, it took me to the BofA results, I clidked on the link I normally use, typed in my password, and it took me to another google search page. I tried this several times, thinking maybe I clicked on the wrong link, which I knew I didn't, but just in case, and it keeps taking me to a google search page (not the normal google search engine page). How do I check for a virus and if one, remove it?
Thanks for your help!

First thing you should do is call BofA and suspend your online account and/or change your password.
The correct IP address for BofA is
171.161.148.173
If you paste this into your browser URL field (where it says "apple.com http//discussions.apple.com.... now) you will go directly to the BofA site, no poison in between from a lot of possible issues.
1: Google poisoned
2: DNS poisoned
3: Router DNS poisoned.
I doubt very much it's your Mac, not that I've playing favorite, it's because Mac's are very highly secure.
Once you have gone to the correct site by entering the IP address into your URL field and pressing enter, bookmark it and use that from now on.
Also you should see a HTTPS in the URL when you log in, that means you have a secure connection.

How do I remove "royal search" from my mac?

I have a macbook pro with retina display, my operating system is OSX version 10.9.5 (processor = 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 and memory = 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3), and my safari is version 7.0.6. Recently I was downloading some applications from online, and afterwards when I was using safari all these ads started to pop up (in Safari) - showing ads with my search results and whenever I clicked a link opening ads in extra tabs. I've managed to remove some of them by changing my system preferences (e.g. changing safari security, privacy and extensions), deleting unwanted applications and deleting certain files from my library (e.g. cached files). However, I've been unable to remove "Royal Search". Apparently it is "a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will change your browser homepage and default search engine to royal-search.com". I want to remove it as it's making my safari difficult to use. I've tried downloading different antiviral software and so far nothing has worked. If anyone knows how to remove royal search or would be able to help me figure it out I'd really appreciate it!

I had the same problem today. It probably started with few downloads from some websites.
I got mine fixed by deleting suspicious .plist files in safari.
You can go to finder and search for safari , Use the + sign in the top right corner and select system files are included in the search. Then just delete the .plist files you think are suspicious.
In my case, I just deleted all of them. And it worked for me.
Hope it works for you too.
Good luck

How do I remove a disk from my mac mini (late 2009)?

I am trying to regain my mac mini (late 2009) which came with OS X Snow Leopard. WHY?   Because, after spending quite a few bucks, I have tried and failed to find a suitable substitute for APPLEWORKS. (I still have the disk)
I erased the Mac Mini's memory, so it is blank READY FOR me to install Snow Leopard. I still have 10.6.3 install disks.
HA HA.   That's a laugh.
1) After I put it in the MM,& started it up using my 10.6.3 install disk. The install app told me I couldn't install this system on this computer. WHY WHY?
2) Now I have a 10.6.3 disk stuck in the MM and I don't know how to get it out.
Anybody PLEASE PLEASE !!
(Normally I use a MM (mid 2011) but I want this other MM available to me.)

Dear Allan, Very interesting solutions to a stuck disk. I'm going to keep it for future.
I finally did get my disk out - because I started up using my Mtn.Lion BU (it's a Firewire) which I connected to my old MM late 2009. There she was & I ejected it.
And I did finally get my MM 2009 working again with Snow Leopard - with the great help from ds store.
So now I have my Appleworks back too.   YAH!

How do I remove multiple devices from my Mac?

I just bought a new Mac Air. We set it up in store working great except I have 3 children with other devices on my Apple ID. All of their messages/FaceTime etc are showing up on my computer :( how do I change that??

You have to deautorize your computer from the ID and create a new ID only for your use.

HT5246 If you have already been hacked, how do you remove the malware from your MAC

I just found out that i have been hacked, since a number of people on my contact list have received emails from me which I have not sent.
I already changed my password how do I check to see if the malware is still in the cimputer or how can I clean my computer of such.
Than you.

It's highly unlikely your Mac was hacked. The two most common causes of such emails:
1) Someone hacked into your actual email account, whichever ISP you're using for your email services. Such as Gmail, Hotmail, or the email system of the your Internet provider.
2) Much more common than the previous. A Windows user has your email address in their email client and a Windows email virus is sending out spoofed emails to everyone in their address book.
