How do you remove a reminder for a new version of MacKeeper?

This notice is a window that seems to be stuck in the upper right corner of my screen. I can't drag it off

Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions, nor do I intend to repeat the test.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Drag it to the Trash. A dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. That's the only useful feature of "MacKeeper:" it deletes itself. Reboot.
Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon from the Dock to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • HT4970 How do you set a reminder for only you when you are also sharing?

    How do you set a reminder for only you when you are also sharing? I want to share the grocery list with my wife but she don't want to be reminded for me taking my medicine.

    Hey Gin-from-SC!
    Here is an article that can show you how to set a time and date alert for your reminders when you create them:

    Time to dial down on the crazy and explain the reasoning behind such a drastic move.
    ICMP is part of the TCP/IP stack, you can't just pull it out like a block on top of a tower, your NIC will stop working if you try to mess with it.
    However, you can put your computer in stealth mode, which it will ignore various incoming requests.

  • How do you remove a background for PDF?

    I am a student and all my PowerPoint lectures are sent to me before they begin.  I take those lectures put them into keynote then open them in notability as a PDF.  This allows me to record the audio of the lecture and take notes directly on the slides.  However, some teachers use dark or colourful backgrounds that make annotating them a bit frustrating.  I want to remove the backgrounds in the same way I could if I selected print "With Backgrounds: off"
    Is there a way to either delete the backgrounds or print to PDF without the backgrounds?
    Thanks

    Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I do not want to print the slides, I want them in a PDF format without the background.
    Yes you said in your first post you wanted a PDF without background.
    On my mac I can select print to PDF but there is no such option on the iPad (I think?).
    What has this got to do with an iPad, you asked about producing a PDF file?
    Is there no way to remove the background without printing a hard copy?
    As I suggested,    File > Print > PDF    will produce a PDF file without the background if you select the "don't print slide backgrounds" option in the print dialogue box.
    This is a popular straight forward procedure and is easily achieved.

  • How do you remove password protection for Firmware

    I was told this might help fix the problem that I can not use an install DVD to boot my Mac. It only boots from an external Firewire HD with 10.5.8. It wont boot from an internal SATA drive with 10.6.3 either. When the option key is pressed during startup the boot SATA drive shows up as EFI Boot, not the name I gave the HD. If I select the EFI Boot it still wont boot from it. Eventually, the screen says I have to restart my computer. Thanks for any ideas.

    I did use Diskwarrior on that boot drive. I haven't had any problems with my hardware before and using a boot DVD. Although, my Leopard install disk is version 10.5.1, I'm sure I used it to install the system with my current hardware (NVIDIA 8800 GT). I'm up to 10.5.8 because of system software upgrades through Apple's software updates online. Any other thing I can try? Can I create a Boot DVD with the latest Leopard 10.5.8 on it? Do you think that would work or help? Figures that my extended warranty was over on May 25, 2010. I am getting another mac for my graphics business, what do you think of the new iMac 27" 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I'm looking to hire someone in the near future. Thanks for your help!

  • How do you set up iTC for two Different versions of the same app?

    I have been reading the iTC Developer Guide searching for the answer to this question, but so far I have found nothing that would help.  I plan on having a Lite and a Pro version of my app, and I may also have an iPad version as well.
    I have seen some iPhone icons which differentiate these app by using a slightly different icon for the Lite and Pro versions, but how these are submitted to the app store is what I would like to know.  And, for the sake of clarity, they will be priced differently as well.
    Thanks!

    Have you read the app store guidelines yet?
    App Store Review Guidelines:
    http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
    Don't go on what you've seen in the store - for every example you spot, there are hundreds that didn't make it in.
    As well, Apple is tightening up on reviews, etc.
    Loads of discussion on this in the iOS Dev Forums, BTW

  • How do you now, double click for a new tab? Used to be able to do this before that last update

    Prior to this update, you could double click next to a tab, to open a new one. This functions, seems not to work anymore.

    If you have "Tabs on top" and the tabs bar is at the top of the toolbar then there is no empty space to click on to open a new tab.

  • How do you burn a playlist using the new version  of itunes if no provision is made unlike previous versions. have thaey ( Programmers made a mistake)

    Downloaded latest version of itunes. Noticed that there is no provision to burn a playlist to CD under the file menu as in past versions. Although the help menu still references this function. Is this an oversight ?
    Also noticed that the  new  itune program which interfaces with the iphone 5 , will only play videos bought through itune store. Where previous versions would play any video, or have I got wrong??
    Any help would be appreciated .
    Thanks
    Oldsalt 94

    Someone gave me the Mac Format magazine (Jan 2013), which contained a complete guide to iTunes 11.
    One section was "Get the old look back".  It stated that it was possible to tweak the interface to get the old look back by:-
    1.  Be on Music view and select Songs tab at top of window.
    2.  Click on the View menu.  (Mine was hidden, but if you click on the dropdown arrow in the top left-hand corner the option is there to show the Menu Bar).
    3.  Click on Show Sidebar, then click on Show Status Bar.
    This should make iTunes look like the old version.
    Hope this helps others :-)
    Slightly happier Apple!

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

  • How do you remove a downloaded podcast

    I clicked Free Doanload on a podcast. Now I want to delete it. It doesn't show up in iTunes under podcasts under ATV. How do you remove it?
    For that matter, the ATV is trying to sync podcasts that I have not asked it to sync. How do you reset the prefs so that it forgets this action?
    Some bugs here and there ...

    Actually, there is a little trash can next to the title which I never noticed. You select it and the download goes away. Nice touch.

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

    If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
    Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
    The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
    In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
    Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.
