How do I uninstall Adobe 9.3.3 from my Macbook Pro?

I downloaded an Adobe Reader update yesterday and since then my Pdf files are taking 10 minutes to print! I have never had this problem before. I have a HP Laserjet 3390 printer. I would like to uninstall the Adobe Reader and re-install an older version but there is no uninstaller and I don't know how to go about removing all the files. After having researched some forums, I understand that I cannot just drag and drop Adobe into the Trash without leaving some files behind. I am running the the Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
Would someone please advise?

Hi,
You can delete the Adobe Reader by dragging it to the Trash and then emptying the Trash. Along with the application folder, delete:
Applications/Adobe - If you have not installed Acrobat.com or flash player independently.
Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Application Installer - If you have not installed Acrobat.com or flash player independently
Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller - If you have not installed Acrobat.com or flash player independently
Active Volume/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Active Usre/Library/Applicaiton Support/Adobe
This will solve your uninstallation problem, but Adobe recommends its users to use updated applications since with each update, the company fixes major vulnerabilties. If you revert to the older version you might make your machine vulnerable to outside attacks.
I would recommend that before uninstalling Adobe Reader try updating your printer driver once. THis might work for you.
cheers

How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?!!

How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?
It does not play nice with a very important piece of software I am using.
The other post on how to "uninstall" does not apply to my situation. I tried it and got this error when using the 7.0.1 Reinstaller:
"Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software"
Help please.

Flash support is disabled (by default) in version 7.1.3.
To turn it back on simply open the QT Sys Prefs Pane/Advanced and check the box to "Enable Flash".
Quit and restart QT for these changes to take effect.
QuickTime only supports Flash (.swf files) that are "published" as version 5, or lower.

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies. I don't want to delete important files. How do I go about doing this?

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

Depends on what you want to do, do you want to play music or video?
If you have a Macbook that supports thunderbolt just connect it with a hdmi cable (if you want picture as well). If your mac doesn't support thunderbolt you could connect via the standard headphone jack. But still it depends on what you want to do. So...
What do you want to play... (music, video)?
What does your tv support (hdmi, digital audio (s/pidf?)?
This helps narrowing down your solution.

Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac? I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.

TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

On your Mac
in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
Maybe that does the trick?

How do I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on new MacBook Pro without DVD drive?

I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and am trying to get everything set up and installed. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and retrieved my serial number and have the redemption code -- but I can't figure out how to install Photoshop without a DVD drive. The Photoshop package I purchased only provides DVDs and I don't have a DVD drive. Is there a website I can go to to install Photoshop and enter my serial number or redemption code?

Have you tried downloading the trial version and using your serial
number to activate it?
The trial version is a complete product and can be activated by
inserting the valid serial number.
Good luck.

How do I get iCloud to share info from my macbook pro to my iMac? I have all the updates on both but I am SO lost!!!

I am having a heck of a time syncing my macbook pro with my iMac. I have all the updates and followed the instructions on apple.com, but there is no communication with either device nor an option that I find to sync them up. When I turn on photo stream on either device, it only selects a few, maybe 1,000 out of the nearly 10,000 photos I have. I try selecting all and then choosing photo stream but with no luck. I know there's a lot of you smart people out there who know what I'm doing wrong. Please help!!!

The following is from this Apple document, iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, and will help you understand how Photo Stream works:
My Photo Stream
When you take photos on an iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your computer, My Photo Stream can automatically upload your new photos to iCloud and push them to all of your other devices.
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

How do I get rid of Saveshare virus from a macbook pro

My Macbook pro has become infected with saveshare virus since downloading OXS10.75. hOW DO i GET RID OF IT?

Since I last posted on this topic, I have found a copy of the Savekeep adware. I don't know whether this might be related to Saveshare or not, but it could be. Also, leonmusic mentioned that it was caused by the Spigot adware.
Removal instructions for both of these can be found in my Adware Removal Guide. If Saveshare isn't related to those, or anything else found there, please contact me privately (via the Contact Me link at the bottom of any of those pages). If we can figure out where it came from and I can get my hands on a copy, I can help you figure out how to remove it.
