How do I uninstall and reinstall safari 5.1.2? 2011 MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2

I seem to have been hijacked by ad tracker crap. Safari is acting quite strange; i.e., there seems to be a lot of certificate rejections and very often a particular bookmark will show up as "access denied". On occasion when opened, it will go somewhere completely off the wall. Many times "facebook.com" shows up in the address, but that's not where it has gone. I realize I'm doing a pretty bad job of describing all this, but I'm at my wit's end... My theory is that removing it all together and then reinstalling a fresh copy might solve these hijackings. Thanks, mkcos

Well, then this is not the avenue to pursue? While those two were associated with earthlink, they were nonetheless regarded with suspicion as having something to do with ad tracker stuff. Unfortunately, all the refernces I found seemed to require more technical knowledge than my feeble mind can assimilate. What would happen if I did delete them, assuming that's even possible? At this point then, can I assume that the problem I'm having is not coming from Safari itself at all? Sorry to keep throwing the questions. Kevin

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner.

The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

You have several options.
1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there. A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs. The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

Game Center keeps crashing our games. How do we uninstall and reinstall "Game Center" on iPad2

Hi there, we use an iPad2 running iOS version 4.3.3 (8J2 - whatever that means), and we keep running into a persistent problem which is that games keep crashing after a few minutes. I am fairly certain this is somehow connected to how they interact with Game Center because we will get regular crashes every 5 minutes or so, except when, for some reason, the game warns us that it can't connect with Game Center. Then the game will run uninterrupted until the battery is flat!
This problem used only to be with a game called "Hay Day" but now it's starting to occur with other games (angry birds is the latest victim!). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game itself, but this never makes a difference. I thought if I could somehow strip out Game Center and reinstall it, it might solve my problem.
I am hoping that someone has a solution. A friend recommended that I re-install iOS, but I have learned that you can on;y install iOS 6 now. I have not found one single person (including in these discussion fora!) who reports a good experience from transferring an iPad2 to iOS 6, and I understand that you can't undo it once you have transferred over.
Any suggestions - or have we just got a "bad apple"?
Cheers,
TF

Thanks CK. I gave it a try but it didn't solve the problem (the one good thing about our issue is that it's regular, so the solutions are testable!).
It occurred to me that udating to the new iOS was the answer (how I wish we'd upgraded to iOS 5 when it was an option!!) - so we might just have to put up with this problem until Apple fixes iOS6 (the list of reported problems that it causes the iPad2 is huge, and the 6.0.1 patch, by all accounts, doesn't really address any of them!).
Cheers,
Jason

How do I uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS 4?

How do I go about uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS 4 from my original CS 4 disc?

If you are on a PC then you can uninstall one of two ways
1) add / remove programs
Go to Start --> control panel , now change the view to large icons, now near the top you should see "add / remove programs selct it
in the list find Adobe Photoshop cc and click change/remove. this should start the setup program and give you options to remove it from the system.
2) folders
firstly find Photoshop on your desktop right click and select properties, in the window select "find target". This will open a window showing you the location where photoshop is installed. within this folder find "uninstall.exe" this will start the same process and you should be able to follow the steps to remove.
Hope this helps , otherwise here is a step by step guide with pictures How to Guide: Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 - Tee Support Blog

How do I uninstall and reinstall the trial?

I've downloaded PS CC and Bridge. It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files. I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait. How do I do this?

It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files.
On a Mac, and I have no reason to believe it being different on Windows, there is a moment in the procedure that lets you decide where to install it. Default is the standard application folder so if you missed this option for choice it will be installed there.
I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait.
Maybe the Windows guys will have a better idea but if you decide to use another drive to me the safest option would be an official uninstall and download the lot again. I don't know how it works on the PC but there are a lot of different components installed to various locations, moving the application folder to another folder is one thing, to another drive is maybe one step to far for consistent correct behavior of these pretty complicated applications.

How do i uninstall and reinstall itunes on my phone?

I have an iphone 5s. after I installed the latest update, I plugged it into my computer and all of my playlists in iTunes disappeared.
now, iTunes says that my phone is not usable and I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes on the phone. how do I do this?

You are misunderstanding the message.
You cannot uninstall or reinstall iTunes on the iPhone.
What exactly does the message say?

Can someone please direct me how to properly uninstall and reinstall???

I had a previous post as well but I just want a fresh start on uninstalling and reinstalling. When I followed the steps and then opened itunes it had my previous library there even after I deleted the itunes folder from program files.
I've had Itunes forever now and it's been fine. With this last upgrade, it's created some problems. Half of my new playlists created have disappeared. The music is still there in the library, just the playlists are gone which was enough to fill a 60 gb ipod. Itunes now reads at the bottom I have 1022 GB of music - my hard drive is 250gb so that's obviously incorrect. My iphone will not recognize my calendar or my contacts in Office 2003 with all updates - so basically it's hosed. Someone had given me a link to uninstall it which I did. I restarted. Then I uninstalled apple mobile something or other and restarted. Then I deleted the itunes folder from program files emptied recycle bin and then restarted. I then proceeded to re-download and install itunes. I went through the hour process of uninstall and restart then install. I get everything finished and open itunes expecting to see a fresh clean slate and it's exactly the same. What did I do wrong since I followed these instructions at the bottom for uninstalling http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
I need help. I figure at this point I'll take my losses with my playlists I have spent years building just to have everything working again. I appreciate any help you can give.

Connect to any computer that has iTunes loaded. The following will work for everything EXCEPT music that was obtained from some place other than the iTunes Music Store. If that is your situation, post back before you proceed.
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
If things go wrong and you lose your apps, music, movies, etc. this is "Plan B."

How do I uninstall and reinstall CS3 after hard drive failure?

Hi. I suffered a recent hard drive failure on a Mac Pro. I didn't have a backup, like a dummy. The hard drive fails to boot so I installed OS on new blank hard drive and attempted to drag over whatever I could see and find from old drive onto the new one. I tried to start CS3 after doing this but it gives me an error: "LIcensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact IT Admin or Adobe Customer support" When I go to Utilities to find uninstall for Adobe the file is not there. WHen I try to reinstall from disk it says "setup error; setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. COntact Adobe Customer service support for assistance". I contacted them via chat and they told me they cannot help me and to post this issue here. Is there a way to resolve this? Am I just missing a file or something that will resolve the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can't install applications like that. Use the original disks to
install the software.
