You are very welcome, glad to be able to help.
Macs are different than PCs, so much easier to use.  But it takes time to figure out where everything is.
See things like:
Brad Miser, MacBook Air Portable Genius - a great overview book about the machine.
David Pogue, OSX Macericks, the Missing Manual - massive amount of details about Mac OS X operating system.
And there are many more resources.  But you did find one of the best help resources, the ASC...we are all fellow users here to help each other out.  Stick around, ask questions, there is always someone with the answer.
Enjoy your MBA and I hope it serves you well.

  • How can I uninstall the Safari extension "Facebook Photo Zoom?"

    Hello,
    How can I uninstall the Safari extension "Facebook Photo Zoom?"
    Thanks,
    lenms

    Sorry, den.thed, I've looked 'til I'm blue in the face!  There is but ONE radio button--the "Install Now."  Once you've clicked on it and the extension installs, that same radio button greys out and you can (barely) see the word "Installed" on it, and there is no other button available (see the image below.)   
    I've never seen software where you could not uninstall an extension.
    Thanks,

  • How to recover the "GMail" Safari extension icon?

    I seem to have lost the "GMail" Safari extension icon. This is the one with the plain "envelope" outline (NOT the "GMail Counter" one). It originally appeared as a selection in the Safari/View/Customize Toolbar window, but is now gone. And that particular extension does not appear in the "Safari/Safari Extensions..." option.
    I thought I recalled that there is a way to delete Safari and then restart OSX to have it reinstalled, but I can't accomplish that it seems.
    All advice appreciated for how to recover that "GMail" Safari extension.
    TIA

    UPDATE.
    I found that Extension on my iMac running Lion. (Library/Safari/Extensions). Sent as an attachment to an email to myself and copied it to that location on my MBP.
    Problem solved.
    Suggestion: Do NOT "Uninstall" Safari extensions from the Toolbar. Just do Safari/View/Customize Toolbar and simply Move the unwanted extension back to the Customize window.

  • How to Install/UnInstall Visual studio extension using PowerShell

    Do I use this command to install is correct? And please suggest me the way to unInstall the extension by PowerShell script.
    Thank

    Hi Bruce,
    In addition, Since I'm not familar the VSIX, however, to uninstall package with powershell, these cmdlets are for your reference:
    Removes an app package (.appx): Remove-AppxPackage
    To get the installed package :
    Get-AppxPackage
    Or if you want to uninstall app listed in 'Add or Remove Programs', please also check this script:
    $app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {
    $_.Name -match "Software Name"
    $app.Uninstall()
    If there is anything regarding this script, please feel free to post back.
    Best Regards,

  • How to completely uninstall/remove Safari 3.X from Tiger/Leopard

    I have been having Safari problems on some of our computers, and I want to remove it and reinstall fresh later on. How can I completely remove Safari? i imagine it shares some Libraries with other applications. I dont think trashing the App and it's plists really removes it anymore.. how can I get rid of all traces of Safari without hosing other applications?
    Thanks in Advance,

    What makes you say Safari isn't the problem? My iMac ran fine until I updated Safari to Tiger 3.2.1. Now it crashes incessantly. Totally unstable. I have to use Firefox.
    Raybo, your post confuses me a bit. When you say "it crashes incessantly" do you mean it's the new version of Safari for Tiger that "crashes", or is it your iMac? How exactly does the "crash" manifest itself?
    I have had problems with Safari 3.2.1 but I've come to the conclusion they're directly attributable to its new "warn when visiting fraudulent websites" option. Unchecking it is the cure. Using Firefox works too.
    And yes, simply dragging Safari to the Trash will completely eradicate it.

  • How do I uninstall a kernel extension

    I recvently installed the drivers for a USB graphics tablet.
    But it didn't work as well as I'd like so I no loner use the device.
    There are no un-install instructions with the device, and no un-install instructions on the manufacturers website.
    When I email them they just say they don't support Mac OS X despite the driver being in the box!!!
    Now that I've unplugged the device, my system log is full of dozens and dozens of these messages....
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Jan 13 12:53:48 localhost kernel[0]: IOUSBInterface: family specific matching fails
    Everytime I boot I see dozens of these messages repeated over and over.
    So how can I un-install the driver for this device?

    Without knowing exactly what was installed...
    Kernel extensions can be found in /System/Library/Extensions
    There should be a .kext bundle corresponding to the driver you installed. Delete that to uninstall it. Be very careful not to delete the wrong one though!

  • How do I uninstall the Safari Beta version?

    I'm using Firefox to post this since the beta version of Safari went belly up a couple of days ago. It's not loading many of my usual daily websites that I need access to.
    When I tried to log in HERE I got this:
    http://solisstyle.com/ims/pic.php?u=4562lQs3D&i=74179
    I searched the Apple website for Safari Beta 3 (& all versions of that phrase) and came up with nada so I was hoping that someone here would have some info.
    I want to get rid of the beta version and go back to the previous stable version.
    Thanks in advance!
    PS - What I'm looking for is the Safari beta file to download. I made the mistake of deleting the beta package that contained the uninstaller since it WAS working so well.
    Live & learn.

    The uninstaller with beta 3.0 will not uninstall the program because I don't have a restorable version of Safari. ????? is this a weird catch 22? Of course I don't have it, it un-installed 2.1 when it installed the beta. Now Adobe won't install because of safari and safari won't uninstall because of safari and I cannot find a copy of safari 2 (only updates that need safari2) I'm going in and killing anything to do with safari.. this doesn't make me happy. I'm officially waiting on OSX 10.5 for a while.

  • How to search Safari Extensions Gallery on the Apple site?

    This is a question for Safari users about the Apple.com/safari website.
    How do I search the Safari Extensions Gallery on their website? The search bar at the top only searches the whole Apple site.
    Just like with Widgets, it seems that Apple doesn't really want me to find anything useful to improve my Safari (or Dashboard) experience(s).
    Frustrated with Apple lately,
    DL Moon

    Thanks, Carolyn.
    The categories feature is somewhat helpful, but I can never guess which categories I'll find things in. For example, there is no productivity category, although there is in iTunes. It seems reasonable to expect the same categories throughout the Apple domain, but this is not always the case. Therefore, searching for Evernote extension is tricky.
    For this reason, I'm looking for the actual search, just like in the app store, so that I can just key in the extension I'm searching for and find it more easily. Does that exist? or is it a missing feature of the Safari Extensions Gallery?
    Thanks,
    DLM

    Launch the Activity Monitor in /Utilities and sort by name. Select any that refer to the app (shame you didn't indicate what it was), click on the Quit Process button, and click on Force Quit. When all are gone, empty the trash.

  • TS1702 How do I uninstall an app I do not want? I downloaded some free games, and apps and do not want than.

    How do I uninstall an app? I downloaded a few free games, and apps, and do not want them. Please let me know how this is done. Thanks.

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking (you can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps). If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How to completely uninstall all of Safari extension's remenents

       I hated how in Safari when you first zoom in it's too small to read. So I'd zoom in and notice that when all other windows open you keep having to rezoom any addition windows that open since Safari doesn't keep the zoom level for all pages except the initial one that you zoom in. This gets to be a pain and can't understand why by now Apple hasn't addressed this issue.
       So what I did is go to the Safari button in the left hand top of the screen and select extensions and believe it or not they have an extension that I installed that after being install called (Zoom All Screens) truely does keep the zoom level when you first log in and also when opening up all other windows does keep the zoom level.
       Problem is when I went to my e-mail the whole page wasn't coming out so it works and it doesn't.
      Other than uninstalling this extension which will uninstall from pressing the (uninstall) button does Safari store remenants anywhere's else on the computer and where do I go to (COMPLETELY) remove all rememnants of this extension that I've uninstalled? Again I don't know if pressing the unintall button removes just the extensions and all other remenants of the extention or if the extension leaves remenants somewhere else on the computer or when uninstalling the extension removes the extension itself and (remenants of the extensions along with it completely or not).
      Not sure whether it stores remenants of the unintalled extension anywheres else on the computer or not. Would like to have a solution on this and all replys will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Open a Finder window.
    From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy paste:
    ~/Library/Safari/Extensions
    Click Go.
    FYI, the uninstaller should do the trick for you.
