How do I uninstall Mavericks Server?
Okay, I wasn't really using my MacBook Pro as a server in the past, but it appears that Apple has added a "helpful" feature to Mavericks Server where, according to "pmset -g", Server is perpetually preventing the computer from sleeping: "sleep prevented by com.apple serve"
I'm not really using Server on my Mac anymore, so how do I uninstall it under Mavericks? I've searched Apple Support and the rest of the web, and can see plenty of advice out there for Lion and Mountain Lion, but none for Mavericks yet, so I'm wondering if someone has already done this...
I was talking about uninstalling Mavericks Server, not Mavericks. The server is just one app that happens to install a number of other services. But anyway, here's my advice:
If you have a computer that Apple launched on or after Mavericks launched, then you cannot uninstall Mavericks.
If you have an older computer, then the best way to get the old OS back is to restore a backup from before you installed Mavericks. Lacking that, if you made an install DVD of the old OS before running the installer (which is always a good idea), then you can boot that DVD, wipe your drive, and install the older OS. You will lose all your data by wiping the drive, so make a backup of important data first.
If you don't have a backup, or you don't have an older OS install DVD, then consider this to be a learning experience. If Mavericks broke your app, then you'll have to wait for a newer version to come along.

How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??
Mavricks, MacbookPro, typical config of everything and standard business user, no heavy graphics, animation or media editing. MS Office, web apps, etc.
I have the same issue with Logmein, which I installed a trial, uninstalled with appzapper, which I thought does a good job of untangling the components of apps but for these 2 it doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,Usually applications like these have their own uninstallers, either build into the installer ( ! ) itself or as a separate uninstaller app. Check the site of the software provider for instructions.
Here's the instructions for SyncMate: http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-mac-os/uninstall.html

I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.
You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

This is infuriating. I replied yes to an inocuous request if I wanted to upgrade to Mavericks OSX on my MacBook Pro. I said yes and now MS Word 2011 gets stuck in start up.
MS Word 2011 is compatible with Mavericks. This isn't an issue of either Mavericks or MS Word being bad or buggy software. Something is wrong with your system, and there's no way to identify what that might be based on such sparse information. Could be some other bad third-party software, could be a corrupt system, could be a corrupt Word install, could be the initial stages of some kind of hardware failure. Could be something else entirely.
If you need help, you'll want to start your own topic and clearly explain the problem. Avoid the negativity and blaming Mavericks for no good reason, as you have already seen a sample of how those kinds of posts are typically received here. -

How to clean uninstall SQL Server 2014?
Hi,
I had SQL Server 2014 Management Studio installed, and I decided to try to install CU5 to get some more of the Azure functionality back in SSMS. Unfortunately it didn't work, so I decided to uninstall SQL 2014 MS. After doing so, I realized that the CU5
update was still 'installed' in add/remove programs, and I could no longer uninstall it. I've tried reinstalling SQL Server 2014 MS, but it won't allow me to apply the CU5 update anymore. Is there any way I can either apply the CU5 update, or just nuke everything
and try to restart from scratch without reinstalling Windows? Also I have VS2013/VS2015 installed if that makes a difference (I'd really rather not have to reinstall those). Thanks!
TommySQL Server 2014 Evaluation, Already installed on Windows 2012 Server .So kindly let me know how to convert in to the License copy. Right now, We have license of SQL Server 2014.
You need to purchase valid license from Microsoft. before that please read
upgrade matrix by Microsoft which says what version can be upgraded from evaluation edition.
If you have cluster direct upgrade has limited supported please read that as well.
When you have Licensed version Just click on setup.exe file of licensed version then on window which posp up select maintenance and the select edition upgrade
