    How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
    The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
    Thanks.

    You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
    Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
    If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

  • How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply to Stefan Erix

    If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
    You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

  • How can I remove  pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

    How can I remove  pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you upgraded to Pages 5.0, the Mac App Store kept Pages '09 in case you want to use it again.
    To access to Pages '09, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the old Pages version. To access to it quickly, you can drag the icon to the Dock.
    I do not recommend you to remove Pages 5.0 or the Mac App Store will be always asking you to upgrade Pages. Also, Apple will add more features to Pages 5.0 in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How do i remove the 17 errors that come with the pricing userexit manual at

    how do i remove the 17 errors that come with the pricing userexit manual attached code...

    Try connecting the phone to the computer in "data storage" or "data transfer" mode, then open the memory card folder in Windows Explorer, and search the sounds there. If you can't see them, go to "Tools>Folder Options>View>Files and Folders>Hidden files and folders" and select "Show hidden files and folders". But I think that it would be a lot easyer just to remove them from the playlist manualy.

    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

  • How do I remove password when deleting files...lion

    Hi. I upgraded to Lion.
    I need to know how to remove the password everytime deleting files.
    Im going crazy...how do I remove that appliction ?
    MBK

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Mr. Alexander. I did try that yesterday, going to the doc and making sure it wasn't a read only, or locked, but it didn't seem to solve the problem. I created the files using Pages and saved them as Word docs. 45 -50 files were grouped in a master file. I attempted to send the master file via Mac's mail software and then gmail. Both requested a password from the recipient--which I did not have. I then zipped it and sent it via gmail. I think the recipient could open the main file but not extract individual files without a password. Files were sent to a PC user. I haven't had trouble sending individual files prior, though I have not tried to send these specific ones separately as I'm hopeful there's a better way.
    Thank you for time and assistance.

  • How can I remove powerpc software after I have downloaded Lion

    How do I remove power pc software from my imac after already installing Lion.  The programs to remove them are, of course, dead now also.

    Any app that will not work will have a circle and slash through it. Go to application folder and look for apps icon with this sign. Just delete them by dragging to trash. If you would like to be thorough there are apps like appscleaner and others that will also remove associated files. Although leaving them there will not hurt.

  • Hello there! Does anybody know RadioWMPCoreGecko 5.dll. What is it and how can I remove it because it slows down my computer. Thank you.

    Starting my computer this morning I immediately was informed by Norton Security that RadioWMPCoreGecko 5.dll is safe. I don´t know this data and I want to remove ist because it slows down my computer. Has that something to do with Firefox? The Information of Firefox-Troubleshooting shows the following detail:
    Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1
    Can you help me?
    Thank you in anticipation.

    To whom it may concern here the answer I received today from Norton Support:
    ''I would like to inform you that the RadioWMPCoreGecko 5.dll files was downloaded as an update for the Firefox browser which runs in the background and Norton program does not have any control on the downloads till it is safe.
    If the download is safe, Norton program will notify you and will block, if file finds to be suspicious.''
    Now I know what it is, but nevertheless my PC is still rather slow.

  • Slower startup with Lion

    After i have updated to Lion the startup takes significantly more time. On my one-week-old iMac 2.5 Quad Core i5 between 30 and 40 secs while it used to startup in about 15 to 20 secs with 10.6.x
    I've doublechecked with the local Apple Store: 30 to 40 secs there too. So this is not a single desk issue.
    This is somewhat frustrating as I recently changed from a MacBook Pro to an iMac for better startup performance. Too soon this gain has been gone! If i had known that Lion would startup significantly slower i might have not updated.
    I wonder if anyone has played with the installation yet. Does it increase startup speed significantly to dump the system - format the hard drive - install 10.6.x - update to 10.7 - and ### this for the difference ### last but not least reinstall applications and restore my content with Time Machine?
    Thank you.

    I thought I'd share my experiments in this thread.
    So, after upgrading from SL to Lion, it became very slow to startup and even slower to shutdown. Reading around the forums I learnt that some older applications, not compatible with Lion, were causing the shut down issues. I cleaned up a bunch of apps (using AppCleaner) and isolated the issue: HP IO Trap Monitor. This is what's causing the shutdown stalls on my system. And if I force this process to be terminated the computer shutsdown almost instantly.
    You can find what causes yours to stall on shutdown by opening Finder and looking for MacintoshHD/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. Inside this folder you'll find several files, some of them named with DATE.ShutdownSTALL
    Just sort it out by date and check which one is the most recent and start cleaning up.
    I ended up having to remove the HP files from the Library/StartupItems folder. I didn't erased them, I simply moved these files onto my HP Applications folder. I might need them in case I need to print something (not sure though)
    Abou the longer startup time, I finally had the courage to do a clean install.
    So, by parts:
    Right after I installed Lion, my startup time grew longer. After the cleanup I mentioned above, it became better, stil between 50-60 seconds since the boot chime to the login screen.
    With the clean install it came down to 30 seconds. And by clean install I mean creating a bootable Lion USB drive (there's many tutorials on how to do it) booting MB Pro from the USB drive, using the disk utility to erase the MacintoshHD partition and do a fresh install of Lion. NOTE: I did this twice because at first I didn't use the disk utility to erase the partition and it simply installed it over the current install.
    Result: 30 second startup from the chime to login screen.
    Then I used the migration assistant and imported all my Applications from my Time Machine backup. Restarted the computer and startup was still 30 seconds. Was unable to import my user account (and all its files, folders and settings) because the one account I was doing it from had the same name and Lion said I can't replace the one that is already open and told me to create a new one and do it from there.
    I created a new user account, and from the new user account I imported all my documents, settings and Home folders (300GB+), thus replacing the user account by my old one.
    My startup time went back up to 50-60 seconds.
    It seems that this longer startup time is either a consequence of less hard drive space (162GB free at the time) or some problem contained within my personal files and/or extra folders added to my home directory, as the startup time was not changed by the applications I had previously imported.
    What are your thoughts on this? How big are your Home directories? How much free hard drive space do you have?
    And just a detail, the longer startup times have NOTHING to do with the resuming of the applications from the previous session. This only makes it "slower" AFTER you enter your password and login, as you have to wait for everything to start again.
