How to erase Genio program from my MacBook Pro?

We unfortunatley installed Genio on our MacBook Pro laptop.  I have tried to remove it from our Applications, but have not been successful.  I have googled this too for help with no luck.
Please let me know if you have been successful doing this.
Thanks!

Do not run the uninstaller! Please be sure to take note of the comments regarding the uninstaller in the removal guide - specifically, the fact that some Genieo uninstallers have been observed to actually install components of Genieo that were not already present.
It's difficult to give you accurate advice, as it's hard to know exactly what you have done. You say you didn't open it, for example, yet you have components that could only have gotten there if you opened the installer. So, all I can provide is a couple general tips.
First, be sure you are following the instructions for locating files carefully. The Go to Folder technique is by far the easiest and most accurate, but you MUST be sure you are using the correct, full paths described in the guide.
Second, in some cases, depending on whether you approved changing your homepage during installation, you may not have all components installed. As the instructions say. Follow the instructions to the letter, from beginning to end, even if you don't find most of the files described. When you are done, if the symptoms of Genieo "infection" are gone and if you followed the instructions properly, you should be fine.

  • How do I uninstall programs from my MacBook Pro?

    I am new to Mac and don't fully understand how to uninstall a program from my Macbook Pro. I've been having some problems with the Sims 3 (Probably some custom content that was bad) and I want to completely uninstall The Sims 3 from my laptop. How do I do this? I have heard that some people say to just delete the folder from my Applications, but being that I come from PC that doesn't seem like it gets rid of everything to me. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

    Sarah
    Here are the steps:
    Manually Uninstalling The Sims 3 from a Mac
    Delete the /Applications/The Sims 3 folder (or any for a Stuff of Expansion pack).
    Delete the /Users/"User"/Library/Preferences/The Sims 3 Preferences folder.
    Delete the /Users/"User"/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder.
    Note: This file can be saved as a backup to retain save games, simply rename it.

    how do i delete programs from my MacBook Pro?

    Most apps may be simply deleted to the trash; all have a small file in ~/library/preferences associated to it, e.g. company.com.name-of-app.plist, may or may not be deleted. Some apps have their uninstaller, if their creator is scrupulous (some are not), if they spread files all over the system.
    There are apps targeted at deleting other apps, I have been using AppZapper, but there are some other free solutions, see other comments. Do NOT delete Apple apps, they belong to the system, even if installed later.

  • How do unistall programs from my macbook pro?

    i just cant seem to find out how to unistall and remove programs from my macbook pro. any suggestions?

    It depends upon how the application got there in the first place. Many applications can be uninstalled by simply dragging them from the Applications folder into the trash. (You may have to authenticate.).  Some applications come with their own uninstaller, usually in the Applications folder or in a folder in the Applications folder dedicated to the application in question. 
    If you have a dock icon left over, you can just drag it off of the dock.

    How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    how do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

    More then likely that external drive is formatted the Windows NTFS format which Mac OS X can Read but it can not Write to that format. So you would need to copy all the data off that drive, to either a Windows PC or to your Mac, thenn use the Mac to format it for the Mac OS. Which would be Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID.
    If you want to use that drive on both Mac and PC then you would need to format it either FAT32 or exFAT.

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

    How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?

    You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive.  Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer.  The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine.  When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

    How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
    If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad
