How Do I Uninstall Cuda Driver from my Macbook Pro
Hi Guys,
I recently installed the Cuda Driver for my Mac because I was having problems playing Diablo 3, and later, working on Google Chrome.
The common problem is that I'll get a black screen, my music starts looping, there's nothing I can do but to hard reset my MBP.
It's a common problem as I've done my search online and always read about this happening on the MBP, so I've been desperately trying to find ways to stabilized the performance of my MBP.
I've got update combos installed, and checked for latest software updates and I read somewhere that you should not install other graphic drivers into your MBP and that is why I've opted to remove it. I simply went to my "System Preferences", right click on the Cuda icon and remove it from my "Preference Pane", does that mean I have successfully unistalled Cuda?
I wanted to ask your opinion on this as I've been experiencing these crashes alot more frequently lately. If I were to bring this in to a Mac Shop and get a diagnostics run, what could be the potential problem and how much may the repairs cost? Is this a Logic Board problem or a Graphics Card problem?
I've got a Mac OS X 10.6.8, running on an Intel Core i& 2.66 GHz chip, with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, I feel it's still good enough to use and I don't see the need to change to a brand new MBP.
Thanks for reading this and I appreciate any input or help you may offer me.
Regards,

How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro?
I want to uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro and am not sure how to go about it. I am looking for specific, step by step instructions. I have not tried anything yet (other than to try to find instructions on You Tube)
Thanks for your help!anitaanded1 wrote:

Since the "FREAK OpenSSL bug" in the Mac which has been making the news over the last couple of days doesn't apply to Firefox but does affect Safari and other Mac browsers, you might want to hold off uninstalling for a bit. But if you must, drag the Firefox application to the Trash. Next, locate your Firefox profile in /Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles and drag that to the Trash too. Then empty the Trash. -

How do I uninstall a program from a macbook pro
I am trying to install the update for WOW but it won't install, On my desktop I had to totally uninstall WOW and do a clean install from the MoP DVD's and figured since the same issue with installing it was the same on desktop and macbookpro uninstalling WOW would be the best way to go. Help?? If I drag the WOW file to the trash will that do it or am I missing something else. I have never uninstalled any program from the Macbook as yet.

How do I uninstall a software from my macbook?
I recently switch to Apple. can someone tell me how to how do I uninstall a software from my macbook?
As mecklists indicated, just removing the "icon" from the Application folder is all you need to do in most cases (this is THE beating argument for OS X in my mind compared to Windows with its complex uninstallers; and then still having dozens of registry entries and files spread over the entire harddisk).
However if you want to get sure that any and all files have been removed, you may look at /Library/Application Support folders available under your user's home and the startup volume's home directory.
You may simply look for files and folders that are related to the software you have deleted. Anyway, be careful doing so. Not that you mistakenly remove files associated with other applications. -

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro? I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.
No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

Thank you LowLuster,
At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2? -
How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?
How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks
Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.
