How do I remove Fugu preferences?

Dear Folks,
Fugu has started behaving strangely on my laptop. The logical thing to try is a completely clean reinstall of it, but I don't know where it keeps all its settings. They aren't stored in the app itself; if I remove the old app and replace it with a new copy, the new copy has the old bad behaviors and displays my old connection settings. I want to clean everything out and start afresh.
How can I find out what data and preference files Fugu is making use of?
thanks,
Ctein

Preferences are often stored in .plist files in Home/Library/Preferences. Have you looked there?

how to remove sound preference options

Not that I know of.
Just tell her the X can't be removed.
The customer isn't always right.
Can you think of any window in any other program that doesn't have an X button to it? I can't think of an instance. I can't think of any place besides LabVIEW that can have an X button that can't be clicked.
Is there a reason you do not want them to click the X button? You can use an event structure to catch a Panel Close? event for the VI and discard the event so you can run your own code such as ensuring a clean and orderly shutdown of the VI.

Thanks ... I found the way to remove it in the following link:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
To reset a preference to its default value or to remove an added preference, context-click (right-click) on the preference and select Reset. If you added the entry via about:config, the preference will no longer be listed after restarting the program. (For more information about resetting preferences, see this article).

How do I remove this malware ?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

IPad synced with PC - how do I remove "settings and preferences" from PC?

Hi all: initially, I synced my iPad with my office PC, but I decided to let my iPhone stay synced to that PC and I'll sync my iPad with my home MacBook Pro. It seems that the apps for the iPhone and iPad are really different. I ended up having to buy all new apps for the iPad as the iPhone apps showed up really small.
Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
Please give directions slowly as I'm really a Mac user and don't know my way too well around a PC.
Thanks,
Anne

Although most iPhone apps can be installed and used on an iPad, they are different. They were written to be optimized for the iPhone and iPod Touch screen size. After an app is upgraded to be universal which includes being optimized for the iPad's screen size, it will look much better on the iPad. With my apps that have been upgraded to being universal, I do not have two versions in my iTunes library - one optimized for the iPod, and another optimized for the iPhone.
Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
You don't, or can't.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content including 3rd party apps from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first.
You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers. An iPad can have different sync preferences under the various tabs for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes on each computer.

How do I save my preferences so I can totally remove FireFox

Since I apparently cannot run Firefox until I eliminate everything, including my preferences, from my system, and since I really need Firefox, how do I save my preferences so I can restore them after I get Firefox running again?

Thanks..... However, I cannot get Firefox to come up, so I cannot find the folder that has the info.

How to remove applications/preferences in "others" of "system preference"

Hi.
i have "application enhancer" as a result of installing some game, "authoxy" a proxy bypass, "divx" for mac, etc.
i would like to know how to uninstall these applications/preferences settings frmo the "SYSTEM PREFERENCES" part of mac os.

The program itself would likely remain intact. But you'd need to access its preferences from within the program itself -- if that's possible. Depends on the program I would imagine. I'm not familiar with any of the game programs you mentioned.
It's been my experience that those programs which provide their own preference panes in System Preferences also tend to use their own installer and uninstaller programs (Flip4Mac and Microsoft Intellimouse software come to mind here, on my machine). For example, my Microsoft IntelliMouse works fine whether the pref pane is in System Prefs or not -- I'd just need to go into the Applications folder and open the Microsoft Mouse application on those occasions when I would want to make changes. That said, when one of these programs does install a preference pane, I ususally leave it alone ...so it's your call.
I suppose if you would ever need to reinstate the preference pane in System Preferences, you could run the program's installer again. Good luck!

How can I remove a tablet device that isn't there?

In one of our test environments we've got an Xserve running OSX 10.5.6, inside is running Server 10.5 in VMWare Fusion.
Now, the VM thinks it has a tablet device installed, as is evidenced by the ink tab showing up in system preferences (the host does not have the ink option there). Obviously there is no tablet device installed. The VM was set up by one of our IT guys who has already reinstalled it, noting no options during setup about a tablet device.
This problem is causing one piece of software to not work in the VM, or at least, the UI doesn't. There are thousands of console messages reading "QCocoaView handleTabletEvent: This tablet device is unknown (received no proximity event for it). Discarding event"
Question is, how can I remove the tablet device so that this software will start working? I've checked all through VMWare Fusion's options/preferences & couldn't find anything there and Googling has turned up nothing so far.

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
Cheers,

How do I remove an apple user on my macbook pro

When I want to do some actions on my computer, there is a user id that appears instead of mine... How can I remove it? And impeed it to download futur apps and others...

What sort of actions? How many userids appear in System Preferences/Accounts?

Apple App Store is used for Account. How to Avoid It? How to Delete All Sharing Preferences?

Every time I go to the Apple App Store, I have intrusion, relentless stalking, piggy back computer usage, ID Theft, Account takeovers, and theft problems on everything including all brands of email accounts. I keep changing the ID and the passwords intermittently, but attacks continue. Erasing or replacing the HD does not remedy the situation either.
As of now, the computer has practically empty; 979.87 GB free out of 1TB. It may have a couple of notes, pdf's, and some bookmarks. It was recently erased and is running on the OS X 10.7.5 to avoid Apple App Store updates to Mavericks, Pages, Keynote, etc. The security was set on everything I could think of to use the internet safely.
Besides surfing the web, I only did a few things. Because Chrome is better recommended, I used Safari to download Firefox, then used Firefox to download Chrome. Safari won't download it directly. I checked Yahoo mail. I used the Apple ID to post a question in the Apple Communities (within 24-48 hours of today). I changed the password to Apple ID in case there was an issue later. (I have to change the password almost 100% of the time because it gets stolen often) I usually erase Firefox because I don't use it. This time I left it there while I worked on other things & erased it later.
After reading some online material, the system started to run slow as though there was too much data or space being taken up. Then I felt that someone or someone was using it at the same time. I disconnected the Ethernet and left an idle screen (it will sleep after a few minutes) because no sharing options remained. All fields are depopulated. All internet connection options were turned off and removed. Only the Ethernet remains. Unfortunately, that Bluetooth button can still be turned "on" and/or "discoverable". I don't know it this will still work with Bluetooth turned off and removed in Sharing. Please clarify that for me.
When I returned, the screen saver was changed. I expected to use a password to get back onto the computer, but no password was needed. I checked the settings and found the password for logging onto an idle & sleeping screen was removed. No one physically changed things around. This was done remotely or through malware.
I checked various system preferences, and found the locks to Sharing was open with some of the components set up for usage (public files, bluetooth, remote apple events, etc.). I tried to change some options, but some items did not move. I tried to lock it but it would not lock. I tried other sys pref screens and found that some of them had been dismantled too.
I tried to open the lock for other changes, but the password to System Preferences was changed.
Is it normal to get a password popup window to LOCK users & groups when it is OPEN? I don't believe you need a password to lock it. Eventually, open locks closed with no chance to immediately reopen it to adjust the preferences (all passwords were changed).
The terminal looks like it was used. No history was found. Reseting Password rejected new passwords. iTunes sharing could not be changed and parental control refused to lock. After waiting an hour or two, was able to lock it. I wonder what it was being used for.
Now that the internet and the network are disconnected (before sending this message), everything is still extremely slow. A single window takes a long time to open. I have no idea what is making it drag and I don't know where to look.
If history is repeating itself, then the computer is set for piracy just like before. Every place I go is watched, all passwords are captured, all files are checked, all email accounts can be stolen, chat and messages are used (email & computer), iTunes will be logged into, other types of accounts are stolen/taken over, and everything I type is read. Any changes will be sabotaged.
I am confident that someone in the Apple Community will have the answers to getting rid of this problem for good. If you don't have all the answers, then perhaps you have good resources and referrals (not speculations or guesses).
I read about apps, software, or devices that either detect or deter this type of problem. What are they and how do they work?
Q- Also, exactly what are the steps to transfer the OS X 10.7.5, Mavericks, and the future Yosemite to a flash drive or disk to avoid future contact with the Apple App Store or using the Apple ID? (external HD's have been sabotaged in the past-via remote or erasing program of some sort)
Q- How to permanently get rid of Messages & Chats
Q- How to permanently remove Dropbox & Public file sharing?
Q- How to permanently remove all sharing options?
Q- Are there other ways to share (codes, commands, etc.) that need be to blocked/fixed/patched? If so, then what are they?
Q- Are computers stalked by IP address? by Network? by computer numbers or codes? or just by traps or their accounts?
Q- Is there a handy, "go to" type of checklist of where to look or what to do when there is a a suspicion of implants in the computer?
