How do i uninstall "Easy Duplicate Finder"?? its in the trash but won't go away... i never ran the .dmg file, but trash says its in use!
Hi .. i was trying to free up some space on my early 2009 mac mini, and i downloaded the Easy Duplicate Finder 3rd party thingy... i never ran the setup.dmg file and i tried to throw it away, but i can't empty it out of my trash because it says its in use (which worries me!)
i do have ext. backup using Time Machine... is that my solution? i just set that up about a week ago, but I'm such a computer dummie... I've never used it before....
i hope someone can help!
thanks in advance!

Other than an occasional restart, OS X tune-ups are not necessary or required like in Windoz.
It is best just to enjoy your Mac and don't try to fix something that isn't broken.
If you seriously need to free up some Hard Disk Space...(you never said how full it is)...? Your best bet it to move something like an iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie Library to an External Hard Drive. Problem is, that requires at least two or more External Hard Drives, so that your Library(s) are also backed up.

How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?
How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?
Check to see if there's such a folder as either
/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
~/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
and if so, see if either contains an uninstaller.
Failing that, download the demo version of the app from Trend Micro, and try the uninstaller that it should contain.
If all else fails, the manual way would be to use something like EasyFind and search for anything with "com.trendmicro" in the filename (you can use Finder, but be sure to include system files and invisible files in the search options). Pay particular attention to the folders
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
~/Library/LaunchAgents
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?
I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site? -
I purchased an audiobook and it has two parts/files to it. I-Tunes only shows on file under the book title. How do I get i-Tunes to find and associate the two files under one book title?
Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

My CS4 PS no longer recognised the iPhoto library since a new video card was installes a few days ago. How do i fix this? I can drag and drop but then I can't use camera raw feature.Tks
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9. When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.
To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

Did a backup & erased hard disk - Now need to recover the .dmg file? How?
Hi there.... thanks for your help!
I used Carbon Copy Cloner (found on versiontracker.com) to make a complete .dmg backup of an entire Powerbook G4. I copied the 28GB .dmg file via ethernet to my Time Capsule and that worked just fine.
I did a 7-pass secure erase on a the PB and have booted up from Tiger OS discs, but cannot find a way to access the Time Capsule to restore the machine.
How do I do this??
Thanks again!
DLI think I figured it out!
I restarted the Powerbook with a Firewire 400 cable attached, I realized that I could select "T" on the keyboard and make it a target drive. I mounted it on my machine, which is connected via ethernet to my Time Capsule (Aiport is much too slow...). From my computer, I went to Disc Utility and restored the .dmg file from the Time Capsule to the connected Powerbook.
It seems to be working....

Kat NagelIf streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed. -
I have apps on my iPad and my computer is not connected to the Internet. How do I get my apps to load on the computer ? Because it says the apps on my iPad will be replaced with the apps that are on the computer but there is none there!
Authorize the computer in iTunes -- Store>Authorizie this computer. Transfer the purchases from the iPad into iTunes and then you can sync with iTunes. Read this for instructions on transferring purchases from the iPad into iTunes.

I have a slower connected at my house and wanted to download them at the office for my home computer. Thanks.

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password
How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14
It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup. -

Why???Why i can't find japan in the apple store while making apple id and using store country as a japan, i am unable to find it?? Help or send me link
You have already successfully made an Apple ID or you would not be able to post here in the ASC. You should not create another Apple ID, you should use the one that you have or you will create issues for yourself in the future.
Open the iTunes app on your Mac. On the Home pane (little house) scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the flag in the lower right corner. Choose the Japanese flag.
Then at the top of the page in the Quick Links on the right side choose Account. Do notcreate a new Apple ID fill in your current Apple ID and follow the on screen instructions.
