How to Delete drivers on a mac

Hi. I have 4.0 GB of printer drivers when I installed leopard. I only have 8 GB of storage. I want to delete them all except HP drivers. Do you know how to do that?
Thanks!

Open the folder /Library/Printers/ on your hard disk, and delete the printer drivers you don't need.

  • How to delete photos transferred from mac to iphone ?

    I have searched on Google "how to delete photos transferred from mac to iPhone"
    It returned the following result :
    To do so just:
    In iTunes select the device icon in the Devices List on the left. ...
    Choose Sync photos from, being iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements on a Windows PC.
    Choose Select Albums and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    But the problem here is that I have deleted the album which I synced via iTunes on Mac.
    Now how can deleted those synced photos from my iPhone ?

    No. Hook it up to any computer running iTunes. Make sure that you do not have any of the other tabs set up to sync, so that you do not overlay the info you have on your device for Music, Movies, etc., then go the the Music tab and un-check Sync Music. This should remove all sync'd music from your device. (this is presuming that the Mac you sync with does not have any photos you do want to sync with your device. If it does have any photos you want to sync, then instead of turning off the Music syncing altogether, you can just select what you do want to sync, and the sync will remove all other sync'd albums).

  • How to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8's Safari?

    Hello.
    I noticed Apple never released an update to delete/remove DigiNotar in Mac OS X 10.5.8 since I have all updates. I was able to tell Keychain to untrust it from http://fairerplatform.com/2011/09/how-to-disable-diginotar-ssl-certificate/artic le, but it won't let me delete it. Mac OS X just beeps at me when I hit delete key on this Intel MacBook Pro (from October 2008). I tried dragging it to the trash can, but that didn't do anything. Am I missing something? I did unlock this Keychain screen and was able to untrust.
    Thank you in advance.

    Specifically the 'can't delete' problem you asked about seems similar on Snow here & yet choosing the items via search does enable the Edit-Delete menu command.
    Perfect. Search to find two hits and then deleting them (right click and then delete option for me) worked! Weird design!
    Even more weird, http://fairerplatform.com/2011/09/how-to-disable-diginotar-ssl-certificate/artic le is gone! I wanted to read its instructions on how to test it.

  • How to delete system preference on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.2

    I purchased a Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset awhile ago. I can hear through it just fine however the mic has huge amounts of static. I know the headset should work on Mac. Ive tested it on other computers and it works perfectly. I believe that its just a corrupt system preference file but I don't know how to find it and delete it on this computer. Before you say anything, yes I have unmuted it, Ive gone into system preferences and than sound to mess with it in there.

  • How to delete an Album in .Mac web gallery?

    I sent a couple of albums to my .mac web gallery using iPhoto for organization.
    A couple of months later I eliminated that particular iPhoto library all together when I re did my photo organization.
    I've since re-done the photo organization and made up a new iPhoto for just the web gallery photos (having them a smaller size)
    I published the new photos from the new iPhoto library to my .mac site but noticed there are 2 albums still there from the old iPhoto.
    Since the old iPhoto has been eliminated, how do I eliminate the old albums on the iWeb site?
    I looked and tried to find them in the hard drive library, apps support but don't see anything that says iPhoto or iWeb support.
    How do you eliminate an album on the .mac site if the original photos are not on iPhoto? I assume there should be a place on the hard drive, but where do I look?
    allie

    Go to iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery and delete the folder.
    Perhaps it's wise to check the content of the folders if you have more than one.

  • How to delete iCal sync in .Mac

    I want to delete my iCal info (from my syncs) in .Mac. I created a mess and I want to start over. Problem is when I sync I retrieve the messy info saved on my .mac???
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    fredericlang,
    Follow the procedures list in...How to reset .Mac Sync: If your .Mac Sync begins to behave oddly, resetting the sync is a good troubleshooting step. It's essentially a "do-over," in case the computer got confused.
    If you are going to reset the sync data, make sure to reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible. Here's how to reset .Mac Sync....;~)

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to delete linux/ubuntu from mac?

    Please help I dont know what else to do I have tried everything. Everytime I try to delete it through bootcamp I get a message saying, "The disk is not journaled. You must enable journaling using Disk Utility before using the Boot Camp Assistant." And I have tried doing it in disk utility too. None of it will get rid of the particion. I really need to delete it because I need the space. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, you got a dual boot setup, you must of have used Bootcamp to create the partition and then installed Linux in there instead of Windows.
    First thing to remmeber is Linux reformatted the partition to EXT when it installed.
    Mac's can't read that format or even acknowledge it exists.
    Second it's likely a sub partition called Linux Swap was also created as this is how Linux handles excess memory needs, by swapping the contents to a seperate partition for security.
    It's possible this sub-partiton is under the main partition, so dealing with the main Linux partition should hopefully remove it in Step #4, else #2 or #3 will do it.
    Step 1
    The first order of business is your going to have to get a copy of your User file folders (Music, Documents, Pictures etc) out of OS X and onto a external hfs journaled (Disk Utility) formatted drive (not TimeMachine!) and disconnect this drive. (and any other drives as well so there are no mistakes)
    You should also make a note of anything like serial numbers, email addreses or other things that are very important as you might be having to erase and reformat the entire drive and reinstalling OS X.
    Note: Always keep a two copies of your vital data at all times.
    Step 2
    The absolute best method. If you have another blank external powered drive (not the one with your backup of files) then download the free to use Carbon Copy Cloner and simply clone (use the default settings for now) your OS X 10.6 to the external drive.
    When that's finished you can hold the option key and boot the computer from it. Now your happy.
    You can use Disk Utility on the clone to erase and format the entire drive, GUID partition map, HFS+ journaled and simply CCC back onto the internal drive.
    Reboot and run ALL of OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot. Zoom
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Step 3:
    Not the best method, but works, hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, select Disk Utility and Erase the whole drive format hfs+ journaled and quit, reinstall OS X, Software Update, install programs from fresh sources and finally files from backup back into their respective folders like before (not Library, leave that alone)
    When you enter the hard drive name, use the same name as before, when you go through setup, use the same username as before. This is important or you lose your pathnames to your iTunes music file locations and wind up with a bunch of exclamation points.
    Step 4
    A chance this might work and save yourself some work and be experimental before trying the Step 3 above. Go to Disk Utility and select the Linux partition, rename it BOOTCAMP and change the partition to MSDOS and let it rip. Then enter Bootcramps and see if it recognizes it and allows you to unpartiton it.
    If it works then the 2 and 3 steps are obviously not needed, but #2 is advised as a bootable backup method in addition or surplanting TimeMachine as TM drives  are NOT bootable.

  • How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

    Hi,
    I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
    In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
    I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
    Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"
