How do I Uninstall Classic?

I originally installed classic on my powerbook g4 to use a couple old applications. However, I no longer use these applications so I would like to uninstall classic. I've looked in Apple support/help and on the internet and I cannot find out how to uninstall it! Any insight?

Hi, a mouse. Trash the two "Applications (OS 9)" folders and the "System Folder (from old Mac)". Don't worry about the rest — I would guess they're inconsequentially small (you can check on that) and will do nothing in the absence of the System Folder, but I'm not 100% sure it's safe to trash them. If they are inside any of OS X's own folders, I'd definitely leave them there.
The total amount of space you save by disposing of the main OS 9-related folders will probably be only 1GB or less, so in the grand scheme of things, what you delete won't make a lot of difference — unless you trash something that OS X needs. So delete the main items and leave the rest, until you hear from someone more knowledgeable than I am that it's OK to trash them too.

How to properly uninstall Classic?

I searched & came up w/ a couple threads that say to just drag the OS9 System folder to the trash & reboot, but when I try to do this I get an error message saying it's not possible because it's "required by the system". Also, ppl were saying to CMD+click & drag the Classic icon off the menu bar, but I don't see it anywhere to begin w/...... This whole process seems really sketchy, is there a more legit way to do this? There's no actual "uninstall"? I just needed to run one OS9 program for a short amount of time on my G5 & don't anymore so i'd like to get rid of it & free up some space...

Open the Classic preference pane in System Preferences and be sure you have Classic turned off.
Open the System Folder and drag the Finder and System file to the Trash. Restart the computer. After the restart drag the System Folder folder, Applications (Mac OS 9) folder, and Documentation folder to the Trash. Empty the Trash.

How do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)

how do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)

Do you mean you want to remove Classic (OS 9)?
If so, there's not much to it. First, be sure you don't need, or plan to use any OS 9 or earlier applications. You'll need Classic to run them if you do. Second, back up any files created with those older apps if you need to.
Once you're ready, delete the following folders:
System Folder (NOT System. That's the OS X system folder.)
Applications (Mac OS 9) (NOT Applications. Those are the OS X apps.)
If OS X complains that it can't empty the trash because "items are in use", restart and you should then be able to empty the trash.

Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

Thank you Thomas
First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while.

How do I uninstall the last itunes update on my new mac?

Ever since I downloaded the update for itunes it will not let me sync any music onto my classic ipod at all. Stupidly I restored it to maybe sync it and now i just have no music, how do i uninstall this update to have the itunes before on my new mac?

Below are instructions but I don't know if they are the solution to your problem.
=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content. It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Here's a step-by-step method and you may find it easier to follow than alternative methods I have posted below.
Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7 - http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details:
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

Other issues:
- https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
- If you encounter error -42408:

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

How do i uninstall Safari 5.1.5?

Finally discovered WHY I can no longer access the USGS Map Locator. I update Safari a couple of weeks ago to 5.1.5 and just now found out it REQUIRES OS X Security Update 2012.001 which I CANNOT install. This security update KILLS all capability of using the Classic Apps and I require two that do not have an appropriate useful app on the market today. I have several THOUSAND files, especially in AW graphics that nothing today can open and many of these files are image,s abeit in .cwk format, that I need to refer to at time.
Now, HOW do I UNINSTALL 5.1.5 so I can reinstall 5.1.4?
Sparkgapper

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

HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud. Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time. I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email. If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send. And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send. I have to re-create it.
I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud. Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud. And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud. Here are the references:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/excel-2007-clo sing-unexpectedly-when-trying-to/69705682-06ca-4e39-b17e-56d4bacc3452
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607859?start=0&tstart=0
I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem. I ran the Office install to repair. This did not work. I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products. I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories. Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled. Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed. I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem. Now, the second post (above) from
SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem. He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud.
Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
Thanks,
Rob

As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves. Csound1, you have been very generous with your time, and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

How do I uninstall Edge Reflow CC?

I recently downloaded the app because I was curious about using it. Now I'm having issues on my print files (end of file) and the stability of Photoshop CC when I do things like adding layer masks and vector masks. When I look at the dump for output it's indicating that I'm using an unsupported layer type due to Reflow.

I said dump, I meant log. I didn't get a screenshot of the message. It said something to the effect of Generator had and error and close Photoshop. When I tried to save my files I received unexpected end of file encountered upon reopening the files upon restarting Photoshop. The first time I received a message was on creation of a layer mask from a vector path. The second time was in a different file, I was converting the vector path to a vector mask. Luckily I saved the original file. It's just a jpg. I was eventually able to edit the file (3 attempts).

How do I uninstall Adobe Bridge CC on one computer so that it can be installed on a new computer?

You can install CC on two computers and use them both (even different OS if needed)
You can also sign out with your Adobe Creative Cloud application on one computer and log in on another computer, the max of active systems is 2 but it should be possible to have them on multiple systems with signing in and out.

How do I uninstall an add on file from the Seamonkey browser?

HOW DO I UNINSTALL AN ADD ON FILE FROM MY SEAMONKEY BROWSER?
Mozilla needs to make their products more user friendly. There is a multitude of people out there
who are "NOT" very computer literate. Older people like myself, for example, who are old
school, have a difficult time being dragged kicking and screaming into the electronic generation.
My grandchildren are better at this kind of stuff than I am; yet we really don't have much choice
but to try and make the transition, because I have found that there are a lot of types of business
that you cannot get done unless you are willing to do it with a computer, going online.
My problem is not with Firefox (I don't use it because it is too slow) , because I use the Seamonkey browser. The problem I now have is that when I try to download some software, I get a message that says I must first uninstall a certain “add on” file, (npfdm.dll.), a "Free Download Manager" file. When I get the list of add ons through the “help” drop down menu, there is “NO” link or any way I can see that will allow me to uninstall this file from the add on list. Therefore, Seamonkey becomes useless to me. Someone please help me with this. Thank you.
