How do you uninstall software on the iMac
Hello Edward,
Welcome to the world of Mac. I chuckled when I read your question as this was also my first interrogation when I went from Windows to Mac OS. I do hope you enjoy the switch... just get used to things being simple.
Felix
P.S. I use AppZapper to remove apps and their pref files all at once.

I have installed printer software that needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and I keep getting an error message saying that the application is running and needs to be closed before proceeding. I do not know how to close applications and uninstall software. Any help????
If its an actual application and appears as an icon in applications then click and hold over the icon and drag it to the trash can. That should uninstall it as far as I know.
If its like the HP printer software then there is an uninstalled icon within the folder.
Hope it helps. -

1. To use the Reset Printing System feature in Mac OS X 10.5.x, follow these steps:
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
4. Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..."

How Do You Uninstall "Installer" From The iPhone?
I am selling my iPhone and did a restore from the phone.
It erased everything but Installer.
How do I go about getting it off the iPhone?
Thanks,
Sam
P.S.: I have not done the software update with this iPhone because I didn't want to brick it.Wow, someone is a kind of uptight.
Anyway, for help with 3rd party apps questions, go to www.macrumors.com
Also, bricking your phone is nothing with software that is now available. You can brick your phone and have it working in less than 10 minutes... -
how do i update the software on an iphone 3gs when the software update option is not in the settings on the phone?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

How do you remove software installations???
Hello.
I am coming from the PC world. How do you UNinstall software on a MAC? There's no uninstall program. How do you make sure that all associated files and 'trash' are removed with the software? Is there a registry to manipulate? I've used Linux, and I don't see a package manager that takes care of the housekeeping. Anyway, you get the idea.
Informaion greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Powermac G5 'Quad' Mac OS X (10.4.3) 'Tiger'Hello, welcome to the Mac world.
Generally speaking, all you need to do to uninstall a program is drag it to the trash and empty it. If the program is in it's own folder, like Photoshop for example, then you can trash the whole folder and its related files. Some programs may leave behind small settings files that hold your Preferences but they are small and it doesn't hurt to leave them. Preferences and other settings are kept in either the Preferences or Application Support folders - they are located in either the Library folder or youruser/Library folder.
Usually the case is this - if you install a program by manually copying it to the Applications folder, then all you have to do is drag it out to deinstall. If installing requires the use of an installer program, then try running the installer again to see if it offers an uninstall feature.
There is no registry to muddle with - that's a Windows-only "feature". -

Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

How are you supposed to fix "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows if it doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1???
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have to uninstall what you can, reboot and delete the named folders, then reinstall.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.
You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.
