How do you uninstall unwanted toolbars ( I didn't install); also in the application file "toolbars" is not there. What do I do?

There are 5 toolbars loaded onto my computer that I didn't install. When I go to uninstall them they say go to your application file for "toolbar". Well, I go there any the application file doesn't contain "Toolbars". So now what do I do. Do I need to take this to the "Geek" Squad for their help?

You might stump GeekSquad, and you can do it yourself. The best action at this point is to ask this question in the Safari forums here:
Safari
There are some amazing wizards there who can give you step-by-step instructions for removing those offenders at home. The unsupported toolbar issue is common there, so they have the answer ready to go.

How do you wipe all personal info on a macbook but keep the applications on it?

So I am selling my early 2011 MacBook Pro and have been having a lot of trouble getting people to buy it at my asking price... So I was thinking of ways I can get it at the price I wanted and thought to use the software on the computer as a selling point. Well it worked and I have all of adobe CS5 on it along with Microsoft Office for mac and windows 7 as a partiition. Well I got a buyer who is interested primarily because of the software and I want to sell it but just keep the applications on it. What can I do to protect myself by getting rid of any personal information? Do I just go to my key chain and wipe it clean and wipe all my documents? The licensing for the applications won't be an issue for me so I don't care about that. I just want anything that was personally mine gone.

What do you mean a 10.7 TimeMachine to a 10.6 system?
Well your migrating from something correct? A backup like TimeMachine is now all 10.7, so you can't use that to migrate backwards to 10.6 machine.
I wouldn't mind reinstalling Lion for the guy because mountain lion is comming out next month.. He would upgrade to that with his own apple ID.... Meaning it would no longer be tied to me/use one of my registrations for Lion correct??
Correct, if he upgrades to 10.8, Apple's records will show that it was him that upgraded the machine to 10.8, thus if the Feds ask Apple, that's the information they will tell them, so all ties to you will be severed.
However the Feds are not stupid and won't just rely upon one piece of information, but if files are created in your name with your personal information (like if you kept the programs on there) then they could be coming around asking questions as there is more evidence.
I know you keep saying to give the discs but I'm pretty sure they are boot legged.
Well then you certainly don't want to include those as you don't know who you are selling too, it could be the Feds and you'll go to jail for software theft, sued etc., over a few lousy hundred dollars.
You'd gladly pay $1000 to get out of jail that first night when Bubba is looking at you with love in his eyes.
As for miscrosoft office, I have the file that allowed me to download it (it was a volume licensed one I guess?) so there was no need for a serial number.
Are you sure? Microsoft funds some sort of anti-piracy organization that inspects businesses for compliance.
These applications are giving me $200 on the sale alone so its either $850 or $650...
Erase/install the machine with 10.7, drop your price and try selling it again with no software, then sell the 10.6.4+ disk seperately or as a paid addition to the 10.7 machine.
Some people don't want 10.6, others do. Some want both a Early 2011 AND 10.6 as they have a HUGE investment in PPC based software they don't want to give up, so they are looking for a Early 2011 with 10.6 like yours.
10.6 is the last OS X version on disk, so it's valuable,
I don't know where your trying to sell it , but try eBay with the combination.
10.7 Early 2011 Mac, just OS X Lion (no iLife)
x $$$ more for the 10.6 disks

How do you remove unwanted magazines from your newsstand?

I have the ipod touch 5th generation. I tried to remove the magazine from the newsstand by pressing and holding the magazine until it wiggled but no delete option appeared (that small little "x" in the upper corner). After some rather frustrating searches that revealed nothing I plugged my ipod into my computer via USB and opened itunes. From there i clicked on the ipod button at the top right under the search option which opened the ipod contents. Click on Apps and you can remove magazines from here. Hope this helps!

So, if you see it in ->System Preferences->Users & Groups->[Login items], before you remove it with [-], control-click (right-click) the item and select Show in Finder to see where the program is located.

PSE installation issues - How do you uninstall trial version???

I've read several posts about this already, but I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the trial version of PSE for mac. (I am getting the critical errors/incompatible payloads error message. Shame on Adobe for not fixing this yet.)
I read not to dump it into the trash. But when I launch the program from untilities I don't see any option to unintall. One post said to "remove it" How do you do this? The delete key doesn't work. How on earth do you uninstall something? I can't even get into the trial version because it keeps asking for a serial number (and I've read entering it doesn't help. I'm so lost, and really didn't plan on spending my hard earned Friday night doing this.) Any help would be much much appreciated!

There is no uninstaller. The only two icons in the Adobe Installer folder were something called Exented Scripts Installer and the Photoshop Elements icon. I got tired of messing around with it after several hours and finally ran the cleanscript 3 program which worked; I was able to install the purchased version right away. It still really bothers me that I could not figure out how to uninstall though, I'm sure I will need to in the future.
I wonder if my computer is just missing this installer/uninstaller option?

How do I uninstall unwanted programs and Apps?

how do I uninstall unwanted programs/Apps on my MacPro?

Go to:
Finder > Applications
Drag the Application to the Trash.
Empty The Trash
Dragging the Application Icon from anywhere else will not work.
The Icons of Applications in the (Finder > Applications) are actually the Application files.
If you right click an Applation in (Finder > Applications) and click 'Show Package Contents', all the files associated with the Application should be stored there.
So dragging the Application Icon in (Finder > Applications) to the Trash will uninstall it.

Rather than fiddle with the tar file, if it wasn't saved, or using Pacifist, simply DL and install the

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.

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
