How do i uninstall third party software

I just purchased a Mac Pro Restina this week end, so am new to Macs and Lion.....I have installed a 3rd party software that i would like to uninstall. How do I do this?

It's always best to use an uninstaller program, if one is provided. Check the developer's web site to see if there is an uninstaller.
If there is no uninstaller, then you can simply drag the application to the trash (as suggested). However, this will not remove other files associated with the application. These files usually are not a problem, but they do take up space.
Removing the various support files "by hand" can be done, but you need to dig around in your account's Library folder and it can be difficult to locate all the files. Also, deleting the wrong one can cause problems with other applications. Usually it's a minor inconvenience.
There are several applications that will try to hunt down all the associated files and allow you to delete them. I use AppZapper, for instance.

  • Uninstall third party software

    How do I uninstall third party software. I want to make sure all the application has been deleted.

    In general, if the program has an uninstaller, use it. Third party modifications to OS X require an uninstaller to ensure those modifications are removed.
    Otherwise, simply drag its icon from the Applications folder or wherever it happens to be installed (not the Dock) to the Trash. If its icon remains in the Dock, drag it a distance away from the Dock sufficient for it to disappear in a cloud of environmentally correct smoke.

  • How can I browse third party software

    I have spent the past hour trying to locate a listing of Third Part Software (Applications) presently on the Apple website.  In addition, there seems to be "Community" whereby this can be addressed or at least nothing containing Software or Applications or any other similar name.  I DO NOT want to have to activate iTunes as this would seem to indicate that I wanted to buy something but since all I am presently doing is RESEARCH into what is capabilities, all i really need is software titles to see if I can discover anything that even close to what I am looking for and usually that is ONLY available on the developers website.
    Can this be done?  HOW?

    If, by "Apple website" you mean the Mac App Store, AFAIK there is no such listing. However, you can go to
    <http://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/mac/id39?mt=12>
    and then browse the apps on offer by category -- no need to 'activate' anything. Whether there is or not a way of querying exclusively for third-party software, I don't know.
    If you're looking for a listing of all Mac OS X third-party software in the world, there is no such thing. But, if you're looking for sites which list Mac software, here are a few suggestions:
    <http://www.macupdate.com/> (is, IMHO, the best of the lot)
    <http://download.cnet.com/mac/> (used to be quite good as VersionTracker; but it's gone downhill since acquired by CNET/CBS)

  • How can i download third party Softwares from Support tab in Apple site?

    Hi,
    Previously i downloaded third party softwares for mac like Browsers, Anti- Virus softwares from Apple site but now i can download only Apple products (softwares) not third party softwares from download links so any one please let me know the status.
    Thanks in advance,
    Suresh Balakrishnan.

    Apple no longer hosts a website for 3rd party software.  Instead it runs the Mac App Store, which offers a good range of software.
    If you are very keen for the apps and other things that are not in the Mac App Store, a good app to download is "Bodega" - which provides another app store experience.
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I created a Track where I have to add a Third-Party Software Component (HMVCGLXBRIDGE.sca).
    How can I upload Third-Party Software Components and make it selectable for adding it to the Track under SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure > Change Management Service > Landscape Configurator > [Track] > Add SCu2026
    THX for any comment
    Regards

    Hi Pascal,
    my structure in detail
    Track: BOM
      Product: SalesBOM
        Software Component: SC_SALESBOM
          Dependencies (Context: BuildTime): BPEM Buildt 7.12, ..., HMVCGLXBRIDGE, ..., VC FREESTYLE KIT 7.12
    --> I added the SC "HMVCGLXBRIDGE" afterwards in the SLD und after an update and synchronisation in CMS it is also not shown
    I checked the HMVCGLXBRIDGE.sca and there are two files in the BUILDARCHIVES folder:
    - test.sap.comhm-vc-glx-bridge.dcia
    - test.sap.comtcvcglxbridgecomp~.dcia
    Furthermore there are this folders:

  • How to configure Solaris that third-party software can use Netscape

    Hi,
    I don't know if this is Solaris configuration issue.
    I have Storage Foundation installed on Solaris 10 SPARC.
    And I am using the VEA GUI application to manage storage. Then I intentionally made some activities that the Error window appears with the link.
    This link point to the Veritas web page.
    After clicking on this link the error appears:
    "Error attempting to launch web browser.:
    netscape: not found"
    Please tell me whether this issue is because it needs some changes in Solaris or maybe the Storage Foundation needs to be configured properly?
    The internet connection works fine while executing the Netscape from CDE.
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    I don't think it has anything to do with the third-party software. When you click on a link or document, the OS tries to access it using the associated application. In your case, clicking on a hyperlink tries to load the default web browser which on your system is Netscape.
    If say, you installed Firefox and configured it to be the default web browser then Solaris would launch it instead.
    Try to manually launch Netscape and in the preferences, set it as the default web browser. See how you go with that.

  • When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

    when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?  Is it necessary on a Mac to do so?  I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

    Correct.  I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc.  I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac.    HTC will not synch with it otherwise.  That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac.  In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur. 
    Thanks.

  • How to link third party software with labview program ?

    I have designed a labview  
    program to analyse and make  
    graph and save the datas  
    from the photon counter using  
    ni USB DAQ 6008. And the  
    photon counter is controlled  
    by the third party software with  
    itself. both programs are  
    executing successfully. But  
    my task is run both the  
    program at the same time. i.e.  
    link the third party software  
    with my labview program.  
    How to i do this?

    Your question is too vague since you give no information as to this third party application. Is it an application you wrote? Is it an application that you cannot change? Does it have a programming interface? Can you eliminate this third-party application and control the photon counter yourself? Have you tried to do a search, as this question has come up before many times. For example:

  • How can i telnet or get access to other LAN members in LAN without using third party software?

    I have admin access to the main  router in our LAN, so how can i telnet or get access to other LAN  members in LAN without using third party software?
    its linksys3500 router and  i login as admin using the gateway address in address bar..
    i  want to access the c drive of my colleague in same subnet in same  office and i know his ip address.but he not configured telnet accept  request.so without it how can i open his telnet port and access him

    I think you are using the wrong terminology. You can browse the hidden share of any pc if you know the ip and have a valid user account on the pc by typing in the following \\computername\c$ or \\ipaddress\c$ . It should prompt you for a user account. You may have to allow this through the windows firewall (or disable it completely).

  • How do you remove a third party software update on Lion?

    A friend recently pulled an update to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1.  The update version is 3.6.2.  Consequently, RDP does not work when connecting to a Windows machine remotely. 
    NOTE:  I realize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 is no longer supported for OSX Lion and later.  However, I use this same client successfully on a 2009 Intel MBP upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I did NOT pull this third party software update and RDP works without fail. 
    Troubleshooting steps to date:
    Attempted Uninstall/reinstall of RDP.
    Failed.
    My goal is to "roll back" this specific application prior to the software update without having to restore OSX.
    Please help locate the specifc program files to be removed.  I'm willing to remove manually through Terminal with the right instruction.
    Thanks!

  • How to streaming data/image from labview to a third party software

    Hi, i am working on a research project and stuck on the following problem: I have two cameras and one IMU Sensor unit, all conected to my PC. I save the camera images as avi format and the IMU sensor as TDMS format. I have also another software running on the same PC which i developed using VisualStudio2013.  On this software i alredy implemented a very complex filter to fuse images and IMU.  Now my quesion: would be it possibel to stream the .avi and .tdms from LabView to my software so I can test in real time how my filter is performing? If yes please let me know what LabView function do i have to use. thanks

    Thanks, the hardware are my PC, 2 usb cameras and one usb-IMU sensor. The PC runs w7 with LabView2014. I can read the camera and IMU to my Laview without any problem and save the data on my hard desk. I am also developing another software on VS-C++ for image processing and data fusion. I would like to know what is the best (and fastest) possibility to stream this data (Images and IMU) in real time from LabView to my own software?
    I read a lot in NI-website on how to communicate LabView with a third party software. They are summarized in this link:
    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-9131
    It looks for me that the ‘shard memory’ principle (or File Mapping) is the most convenient method. In VC++ under windows I can easily handle shared memory by calling FileMapping windows functions. Now the question is how can I do that in LabView? I am relatively new in LabView and do not know if it is possible to use shared memory in LabView. For example: is it possible in LabView to buffer both video streams and IMU-data (live) in a shared memory in computer RAM using the windows FileMaping functions (may be using .dll). Then I can access the RAM form my own software and read the stream. Please see the attachment for more description.
