How Do You Uninstall Certain iLife Components?
When installing iLife, I only wanted to install the upgrade for iTunes and iPhoto. I didn't see the customize button and ended up installing all of the iLife components. How do I uninstall the components that I don't want?
Thanks.
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
The simple way is drag the application to the Trash and empty it. The parts shouldn't be an issue.
Or... Yank it. I have NOT used Yank.

How do you uninstall old iLife?
I'm cleaning off a computer that I want to give to another person, but I don't want to leave my old iLife on it. They already have some software on it that belongs to them, so I don't want to do a new system install. How can I uninstall all the iLife 'o8 programs from it?
Thanks!Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To help get some of the tucked away files you can use the freeware AppCleaner 1.2.2.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case. -
HOW DO YOU UNINSTALL A APP?
how do you uninstall an app on a Mac OS X 10.6.5. thanks for the help
Message was edited by: bclendingUninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Is it possible, and if so, how do you color certain aspects of an imported PDF in inDesign?
I appreciate it Steve! Yes, there is a television program, or use to be!
The one we had way back when, was a Chyron unit; and you could take a gray
scale drawing of a person from any source, including shooting a picture
with the studio camera, then color each item of clothing, on the person,
individually!
Thanks again!

How do you uninstall Windows 10 Dual Boot?
Hello,
I am running a dual boot installation of Winodws 8.1 and 10 Techical Preview, and I like to know how do you uninstall the Windows 10 from the dual boot scheme? I think I've uninstalled previous beta versions of windows 8 by erasing the partition it
was installed into and that was it. Is this the correct way to remove window 10 too? Just asking, since the graphical version of the OS boot screen is present in this dual boot installation, does that change anything.Hello,

Logon to your Win 8.1 > press the Win logo key and R key . You are now at Run window> at the Run box type diskmgmt.msc > OK
You are now at Disk Management window > right click at the partition that house your Win 10 TP > click Delete Volume > the partition is now UNALLOCATED.
At the left of it is your Win 8.1 partition. Yes ?
If yes, right click at Win 8.1 partition > click Extend Volume > click Next > at Select the amount of space in MB, type in the maximum available space shown for the unallocated space in MB > Next > Finish
The space shrunk for Win 10 partition is now back to your Win 8.1 -
How do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)
how do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)
Do you mean you want to remove Classic (OS 9)?
If so, there's not much to it. First, be sure you don't need, or plan to use any OS 9 or earlier applications. You'll need Classic to run them if you do. Second, back up any files created with those older apps if you need to.
Once you're ready, delete the following folders:
System Folder (NOT System. That's the OS X system folder.)
Applications (Mac OS 9) (NOT Applications. Those are the OS X apps.)
If OS X complains that it can't empty the trash because "items are in use", restart and you should then be able to empty the trash. -

How do you uninstall Oracle 6i?
How do you uninstall Oracle 6i? There isn't an Oracle icon/logo under the Add/Remove Program utility nor is there an uninstall feature on the Oracle 6i program menu bar. Hopefully, there is a method to removing the software w/o digging through system directories and deleting Oracle related files. I'm an Oracle newbie, so take it easy on me.
Open Finder >> Applications >> Utilities >> Terminal
Now in Terminal type “ cd /Applications/” this will navigate you to Applications Directory
Now type “ sudo rm –rf iTunes.app/” this will delete iTunes from Mac OS X
Now you will be prompted to provide “Administrator Password”, Enter the same and confirm to remove iTunes from Mac OS X. -
