How do I uninstall unwanted programs and Apps?

how do I uninstall unwanted programs/Apps on my MacPro?

Go to:
Finder > Applications
Drag the Application to the Trash.
Empty The Trash
Dragging the Application Icon from anywhere else will not work.
The Icons of Applications in the (Finder > Applications) are actually the Application files.
If you right click an Applation in (Finder > Applications) and click 'Show Package Contents', all the files associated with the Application should be stored there.
So dragging the Application Icon in (Finder > Applications) to the Trash will uninstall it.

How do I uninstall unwanted programs?

Is there an easy way to quickly uninstall unwanted programs?
A few months ago, I installed a program called Plaxo, but after a short while I decided I didn´t want to use it any more.
The trouble is, it simply won´t go away!
Every time I start up the computer, I get an info that there is a new upgrade for the program - how do I get rid of it?
Kind regards
Willi Prochnow Sletten

If the application did not come with an uninstaller, I use a program like AppCleaner (free).
It will usually delete .plist files and cache files that were installed with the Application. This is useful if you don't know where to look.
Just dragging the App to the trash is often not enough as you may not be aware of all the support files that were installed in caches, preferences, application support.
If I no longer have the disc image of the program, I will search for it on google, download the installer again and look for an uninstall option. If there isn't one, I use AppCleaner.

So, if you see it in ->System Preferences->Users & Groups->[Login items], before you remove it with [-], control-click (right-click) the item and select Show in Finder to see where the program is located.

Hi,
Should be in the Add/Remove Programs. What is it and what is the Operating system of your machine ? Well, I hate them all.

Are you unable to uninstall it from the app manager in the main settings menu? How about long pressing the app in the app drawer and dragging up to the notification bar? Does the app have a phone admin property checked in Settings-Security-Phone administrators? Sometimes, if it does, apps will not uninstall until unchecked.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Properly uninstalling programs and apps?

just wondering if uninstalling programs and apps rquire further delving into subfolders and drives...?

Most residual files will be in ~/Library/Application Support/
If by 'most' you don't include any Apple Apps (Final Cut, DVD SP, iWork, iPhoto, Garageband, Logic) or Adobe apps or Virtualbox or anything with an installer …
A lot of apps also save files to /Library/Application Support or worse subfolders of /Library. It's not really somewhere a novice should be looking for files to delete.
Arthur's probably right about AppZapper, so long as you don't use it as a tool to 'free up some space'.

How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

Sorry to hear that, Snow Leopard runs as fast or faster than either Tiger and Leopard did on my Jan 2006 Early Intel iMac on 2GB of RAM?
Before you blame Snow Leopard, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test and check the SMART status of your Hard Drive to make sure that you do not have another problem.

How do I close a program or app?

I have an iPad Air 2. This is my first Apple product.
How can I close a program or app? It seems like once I open a program or app like Chrome it remains open and I can not close it. In Windows I am used to clicking on an "X" at the top right hand corner of the program.
Is the easiest way to switch to another open program or app to press the button at the bottom of the tablet twice and then selecting?

iOS 7-8
Double-press the home button and find the app which you would like to close and swipe it up.
iOS 6
Double-press the home button and tap and hold the app you would like to close. Then press the little "-" in the corner.
Hope this helps!
