How do l uninstall an unwanted software from my Mac?

How do l uninstall an unwanted software like Vidx from my Mac?

did it use an installer? then it probably has option to also uninstall.
was it simply dragged onto/into /Applications? drag it out, Might want to look in
/Users/my_account/Library for Preferences, Application Support, Caches for the files it created in your account.
Does it use and install a plug-in? Browser plug-in or extension?
And if you go to home page for Vidx does it have instructions? might even Google "uninstall Vidx on Mac" to see what others say.
And, there is the side bar here "More Like This" with answers and similar threads.

  • What is the best way to remove unwanted software from my mac

    I was told that I have unwanted software on my MacBook. The software cannot be seen in the Applications folder, but it is there and it needs to be removed or files and network connections will be damaged. I know there are free downloads to help resolve the situation, like AppZapper. I am wondering what is the best free download available.

    Who told you that you have unwanted software on your Mac?
    How did they find out that this was the case?
    Did you allow someone to remotely connect to your Mac?
    What is the name of this software?
    Only after we know the validity of this information will it be time to do something about it.
    At the present time I would not load any crapware on your Mac such as AppZapper. It is never needed for any reason on a Mac.

  • How can i uninstall 7.0 software from my iphone 5

    I downloaded the new 7.0 software to my iphone 5 yesterday - HORRIBLE!!!! I would say approx 3/4's of my apps no longer work (free & paid), the keyboard is now a different color - harder to see, as well as the text message background color is once again harder to see. To kill an app on the 7.0 now takes longer than before. All & all I am extremely annoyed with myself for downloading the new software, I want the old back - anyone have any ideas?

    SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
    If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
    "Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

  • Uninstalling programs or applications from my mac

    Hello, how are you.
    I'm a new mac user... and I have a doubt. If anybody knows, please answer me as soon as you read this. Is very important. How can I uninstall programs or applications from my mac?
    Somebody talks me that I had to remove the archives from my mac. But, I don't know if "really" I'm uninstalling the program.
    Please... I hope an answer!
    Thank you, very much.

    In MacOS X you can delete most applications by simply
    dragging their icon to the trash (and ofcourse empty
    the trash afterwards). Very few application do have
    an uninstall application or offer an uninstall
    feature in the original installer.
    Trashing is one way to remove files, but it can, in the case of complicated applications that write to folders outside of their own application folder, not completely remove all the files associated with the application, this can be viewed/ termed as a "dirty uninstall".
    For applications check if there is an uninstall option with the installstaller program for the application (in the case of MS Office theirs is a separate utility called "Remove Office" for this sole purpose). If a deinstallation option for the application is not present "dirty deinstallation" can be avoided by using a third-party application to do the job properly (e.g. springcleaning from Allume: http://www.allume.com/mac/springcleaning/ ).

  • HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

    I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
    How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

    See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
    You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
    You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

  • How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'?

    How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'? I created this in error and cannot find a way to remove it. Thanks for all help.

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
    I suggest you update your profile to show your current version of OS X. Click on "Your Stuff" at the top right of this page & choose profile (bottom of the list) then click edit.

  • HT1349 How do I go about installing software from a disc onto my ipad2? I have no external drive, but do have a PC with iTunes on it. Someone suggested I could load it into iTunes and then sync with the iPad, but this suggestion doesn't seem to work.

    How do I go about installing software from a disc (a language programme) onto my ipad2? Someone told me if I downloaded it to iTunes on my PC I could then sync it to the iPad but hav not been able to do that.

    Even if there was a convenient way, the software will not run on the pad.  Ios is a unique language, and only programs written for ios will run on the pad.   All of the programs are in the app store.  You might look there and see if the company that makes your sfotware also has an ios version, which would be in the store.

  • TA48312 How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?

    How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
    I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!

    Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
    If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
    If you don't want to lose data then make backups.

  • HT4623 How do I uninstall the new software on my I-phone 4

    How do you uninstall the new software update on the I-phone 4. I don't like the new update! How do I change it back??

    Because Apple won't support it. They haven't made a specific statement as to why.
