How do you uninstall or remove custom alert sounds?
I'm using an iMac and I thought I'd try out some new system alert sounds. I hated them and now I can find them to delete them. The alerts show up in system peferences but they're not in the library/sounds folder. I've done a spotlight search for the sound names and nothing come up. Is there a way to remove/delete/uninstall custom system alerts? Help! I hate them!
I have Lion, but run Snow Leopard and always forget that many are forced into Lion.
When you open Finder, do you see the Macintosh HD in the sidebar under Devices?
If not, go to Finder Preferences and check the box next to Hard disks and External disks.
Then select the Mactintosh HD and navigate to the Library / Sound Folder...

How do I add and remove custom mail sounds
I have a custom mail sound that I would like to remove from Apple mail. I have another sound that I would like to add to mail.
There was a web site that explained how to do this for 10.4 but I cannot find a procedure for doing it with 10.5.I'm wondering if Apple changed how these sounds are done from 10.4 to 10.5
I actually replaced one custom sound with the very same custom sound, this seems to have solved my problem.
Thank you for taking the time to help me. -
n mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options. What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?
SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

How do you uninstall in a Mac?
Sorry, I am new with a Mac I only have experience with PCs.
If you install a software and then decide that you do not want it. How do you uninstall it?
Thank you!Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which 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 located 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.
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.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

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. -

You apparently installed it yourself.

How do you uninstall pop up ads

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
