Thanks for the reply, sberman. However, I already have the iPad set up just the way I like it. I'm leery of updating to iOS 7 at the moment, the current iOS does the job just fine. I had issues when I updated my iPhone 4S from iOS 5 to 6 last year and eventually had to take it into an Apple branch, whereupon they replaced my iPhone. It was very nice of them to do that but it was frustrating and a rather roundabout way of resolving the issue, and as a result it has made me rather wary of new iOSs (especially given the negative media reports on v7). It's a shame you can't restore without updating – you'd think there'd be an option to be able to restore without updating, eh?
So you don't think there's a way to completely remove the app without restoring, is that right? :/

How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders etc to make it run faster?er

How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders, etc to make it run faster?

The only real and safe way to do this is to do it manually looking through each folder individually.
Many third party utilities claim to clean out a hard drive of various detritus, but some times will delete data that it shouldn't and delete any other important data that it shouldn't have.
The only "safe" way to accomplish what you need to accomplish is to do this manually.
Stay away from the OS X system folder!!!!!
Hard drive getting full?
You can download an app called OmniDiskSweeper.
This app will allow you to see where files maybe able to be delete are located.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you have images stored in iPhoto,,the only way to weed out duplicates is to do this manually.
When you delete them, they go to iPhoto's Trash. Remember to empty this when you are done.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what are duplicates and what isn't
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Maps on N80: How to completely uninstall before re...

Nokia Maps worked fine on my N80. Installed on the memory card, with maps for England and some parts of France and Spain. For some reason it now crashes when 'show on map' is used, whether it's from a new search or a recent search. It crashes just at the point it is zooming in.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling however the same thing happens. I have deleted all maps via Nokia Map Loader and since reloaded them.
I would like to know which system folders contain settings etc. for Maps so that I may again uninstall the app, completely this time, and try re-installing.
As I mentioned, Maps is installed on a memory card. I wouldn't know when the crashes started, in relation to other activity on the device - it may have been when I added new maps, or it may have been since installing a 3rd party app, I'm not certain but I'd just like to know how to completely uninstall Maps without having to scrub the device or memory card.

Hi dougalzene
Unfortunately on this manufacturer's sponsored forum, I would have to say that the only way of deleting the "installation log" would be to reformat your device.

How do you uninstall Free Zip Mac?

I use Mavericks OS X 10.9.3. How do you uninstall "Free Zip Mac?"

Probably you can simply trash it (see my reply in your Ez7z topic).
There is however a chance that during the installation 'Free Zip Mac' some annoying adware was installed. If you see any unusual behavior in your browser(s), check this: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/

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 to completely uninstall

I installed FCP on my Cube but the Cube couldn't run that app so I uninstalled it. However, whenever I check for software updates I am offered the Pro Applications Update 2005-01 version 1.0, so I presume that I did not completely uninstall FCP. How do I do so?
Thanks,
John Link

Thank you, George. Shane's instructions helped me to find additional files to delete, but the Pro Applications update is still offered even after I have deleted all the files I can find related to LiveType, FxPlug, PluginManager, Apple Uncompressed 422 Codec, Helium, and DVCPROHD (See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301888). I neglected to mention in my first message that I had installed Final Cut Studio, not just Final Cut Pro. How can I get rid of it completely?

HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud. Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time. I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email. If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send. And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send. I have to re-create it.
I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud. Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud. And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud. Here are the references:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/excel-2007-clo sing-unexpectedly-when-trying-to/69705682-06ca-4e39-b17e-56d4bacc3452
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607859?start=0&tstart=0
I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem. I ran the Office install to repair. This did not work. I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products. I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories. Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled. Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed. I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem. Now, the second post (above) from
SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem. He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud.
Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
Thanks,
Rob

As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves. Csound1, you have been very generous with your time, and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

How do I completely uninstall adobe acrobat pro 9 tial version
after it has expired? Since this has expired I am having issues with other programs that use Adome A
crobat and the new flash player will not install correctly.

If uninstalling Acrobat normally does not resolve the issue, you better ask in the appropriate Acrobat forum. Don't forget to mention your OS and any relevant details.
You can continue this topic regarding your problem with Flash Player, but we also need to know your OS, browser, and the exact details of your problem.

How to completely uninstall a downloaded program from my macbook pro

I am trying to uninstall a program that I downloaded from the internet and do not use anymore. However the drag and drop into the trash bin does not do it because it is still in my applications folder. How do I completely uninstall it from my macbook pro?

Typically there are a couple of ways.
1. What you did followed by emptying the trash, and
2. Use the uninstaller that may have been bundled in the package.
If available, you should run the uninstaller provided by the application.

How to completely uninstall an app ?

Been using Arch for over 2 years by now. There's just a small thing bugging me. I know I can remove an app nearly completely with the
pacman -Rns <name>
But I was wondering how could I completely uninstall the app ... like remove all the config files, the stuff in /usr and the entries in various menus and so on. I do understand it might not be possible, but I was just wondering whether there was something like ... Revvo Uninstaller for Arch linux ?

gapo wrote:Sorry I wasn't clear. Pacman does not remove my configurations that the application creates.
I installed wine once and had a hell of a time removing all the entries it made in pcmanfm.
I was hoping for something other than deleting them by hand.
Those files are not the responsibility of pacman. Deleting them would be analogous to deleting the Text files you've created when you decide to uninstall nano....

How to completely uninstall air app(clear up user files under app directory)?

In the adobe air 1.1 install/uninstall document, it says "Removing an AIR application removes all files in the application directory. However, it does not remove files that the application may have written to outside of the application directory. "
But it's not true. I found you cannot completely uninstall the app if there is any user files under app directory. If the user re-install the app, it will reminder the user "some error has occurred ...because an application with that name already exists at the selected installation location.... ".
How to get rid of this problem if the user didn't clear up the folder manually before re-install? If it's a limitation of adobe air, anyone could give me any evidence from official documents? Cause I have to persuade the user to accept it Thank you.

Psythik wrote:After returning my 6GB Zen Micro to the store (due to the fact that I filled it up quicked than I would've liked), I decided to go with the Zen Sleek player instead. Problem is, my computer still has the Zen Micro's drivers installed and apparantly it's conflicting with my Sleek because my computer won't recgonize it as a Zen Sleek even after installing the drivers (it just recgonizes it as a generic mp3 player). I can still transfer files to it as a would with a generic mp3 device in My Computer. Problem is, ID3 tags aren't properly sent this way (which is annoying when I want an album organized by track number).
You shouldn't need to uninstall the Micro, it won't conflict. If tags aren't being sent properly then there might be some issue with the tags being read from the files. Check with a dedicated tagging program, and rewrite the tags perhaps on some test files.
I'm assuming it's a Sleek with v2.xx firmware?

How to completely uninstall iTunes 8 ?

Hi,
I would like to know how I can completely uninstall/reinstall my iTunes 8 as administrator without affecting the users iTunes libraries.
For uninstall I was following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 which is for iTunes 7 and doesn't seem to work for iTunes 8 equivalently. What additional files am I missing? When trying to reinstall iTunes 8 from .dmg, the Installer stills tells me that I am about to recieve an update rather than a new installation....
Thanks a lot, Joe

Go to HD>Library>Receipts and remove the receipt for iTunesX.pkg.
When the installer looks it will see no receipt. The only actions that I have done in the past to reinstall iTunes is to be sure I have a good b/u of the music files as well as everything in the iTunes Folder. I trash the iTunes app and remove the receipt then reinstall.

How to completely uninstall Airport driver

Greetings;
I regularly visit a customer site where wireless devices are forbidden because they manufacture and test wireless equipment. They are very strict about it and in the past when I've visited they would completely uninstall my PC laptop's wireless driver before they would allow me to bring it into their facility.
I went back to their site and they didn't know how to 'uninstall' the driver on my MBP so they wouldn't allow it on campus.
I did some research/Googleing and haven't come up with anything. Does anyone know how to completely remove the Airport driver? And perhaps more importantly to me personally, how to re-install it after I leave the customer?
Thanks in advance.

I presume you only take the computer in for your own security. Why not leave it with your mobile phone, iPod, etc? I would think these other devices are also banned and that no employee is allowed those either.
My mind actually boggles at the implications if they are truly serious about this!
If of course your computer contains whatever it is that you are trying to sell make hard copies & carry them in or burn cd's/dvd's in a format they can run on their own computers. You could use memory sticks too.

How do I uninstall MasterWriter from Mac Book Pro?

I've installed a trial version of MasterWriter on my MacBook Pro and now would like to uninstall it, but there is no option available to do so. How would I uninstall this software without an uninstall option? Thank you.

Hello Gabe,
Thank you for the question. You can use these steps to uninstall an application from your MacBook Pro:
Uninstall apps
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x).If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.
If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.
Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
