How do i uninstall itunes from my mac?

I have a MacBook Air that I received from work. It used to be used by another colleague and has their iTunes installed. I uninstalled iTunes by dragging the application to the trash and downloaded and installed the newest version today. I was not prompted to login and when I launch the program, it brings in the existing iTunes library from the other user.
How do I start over and bring my iTunes account onto this computer?
I went into the activity monitor and made sure to delete iTunes before the uninstall/install but can't seem to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Anne

You only dragged the app to the trash. There is no need to remove the app. There are associated files in the Users>Accounts>Music>iTunes folder that also need to be deleted.
If you have iTunes on another Mac then network the 2 Macs together and drag your iTunes folder into the Music folder on the receiving Mac.
Or if you have an ext HD then move your iTunes folder to the ext HD -  once the transfer is completed then plug in the ext HD to the MacBook Air and drag the iTunes folder over.

    How do i uninstall MplayerX from my mac? please help

    MPlayerX is a legitimate program (I do use it) http://mplayerx.org
    However I did have MPlayerX.zip (9.0MB) download due to clicking on a wrong link, this one is malware.(genuine app is 35.6MB zipped)
    Checking MPlayerX.zip with http://virusscan.jotti.org  detects Adware.MAC.OSX.ExtensionsInstaller.F
    You can use the Free BetterZip Quick Look Generator to view files in an app without unzipping.

  • How do I uninstall extensions from my mac?

    How do I uninstall extensions from my mac? I'm trying to uninstall the Greatdy System Audio and Sunflower extensions. It would really be nice if macs had a comprehensive program to uninstall programs and plugins.

    Open Extensions preferences in System Preferences. That is if you mean Yosemite extensions. Otherwise, use any uninstaller provided by the developer or read the following:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • How do I uninstall FLV from my Mac

    How do I unstall FLV toolbar from my Mac.  I use safari to open the internet.  Thank you

    This is an obscure issue, but has occurred in Macs where the software of questionable worth is installed and sets up shop. I see this ASC discussion about FLV with reference to a youtube video; it may or may not be helpful. The link inside the thread also has information at Thomas Reeds Malware Guide online.
    uninstall FLV toolbar and antivirus software:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4478417
    If the FLV is installed, perhaps the item itself or their web site may offer an uninstaller, since this kind of thing tends to bury itself where simple parts removal may not get all of it; as part of a modification to the OS X. Never a good thing, and antivirus of this kind is not needed for a Mac in OS X.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I uninstall iTunes from my PC and update my iPhone software?

    I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to the newest version but I've encountered problem after problem.
    First when I tried to update it through iTunes it said 'it cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable at this time'.
    Now when I connect my iPhone to my laptop it says 'iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again.'
    So when I got to the control panel to uninstall iTunes it says 'the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your personnel for assistance.'
    I've been looking for a solution for hours and cannot find anything, I tried one solution which involved Regedit but it didn't work.
    Can someone please please help me? I'm beginning to loose my mind!
