How to get rid of MacCleanse notice?
Awhile ago I purchased MacCleanse as part of a cheap software bundle. Having installed the software I didn't like the company's attitudes towards its customers, especially its upgrade policy. I decided to delete the software from my computer by using CleanMyMac 2.
Now, in spite of the fact that the software is no longer on my computer, every time I update/delete other software a notice complete with the MacCleanse logo, appears saying:
'You have attempted to remove the application ----- by simply removing it to trash. Would you like to launch MacCleanse to uninstall the application correctly, along with all of its related components?'
This notice is unwanted and I have no obvious way of turning it off. Has anyone any idea how to do this?
Unfortunately CleanMyMac is as harmful, if not moreso, than MacCleanse. These third party cleaning apps are considered 'crapware' and can harm your system beyond repair. If you cannot uninstall them completely, as appears, it may pay to backup your data, reinstall avericks and migrate your important data back. You can try posting an etrecheck report and perhaps someone can help narrow down what you need to trash from all the areas that these programs have infected.
etresoft a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

How to Get Rid of the Extra cents left on your gift Card balance?
I would very much like some help on how to get rid of the 65 cents I have left in my itunes account, without having to spend it on something, or make a new account, or contact Apple. Please someone help with this, I'm sure many other are having trouble as well!!!!
I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

Icons in finder bar; what do they mean and how to get rid of them
Hi I notice these icons in my finder bar. I'm confused; what are they there for and how to get rid of them?
Thanks for the help!One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

After updating Firefox . I notice Yahoo has taken over as the search engine on safari . I have gone into safari and changed the default browser and home page to google but yahoo is still there . Can someone Please tell me how to get rid of Yahoo . peter
Since I looked everywhere for this answer and never found it I decided I needed to help!
1. GO TO THE TOOL BAR WHERE IT SAYS SAFARI AND CLICK TO BRING DOWN THE MENU OF OPTIONS, CLICK ON PREFERENCES
2.INSTEAD OF JUST CLICKING ON THE GENERAL TAB AND CHANGING THE SEARCH ENGINE LIKE EVERY OTHER STUPID SUPPORT TELLS YOU TO DO LOOK AT THE TAB THAT SAYS EXTENSIONS.
3. Chances are you downloaded something that was made by a third party to "enhance" your web experience but really they just screwed you over, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY UNINSTALL ANY EXTENSIONS PUT ON YOUR COMPUTER BY CLICKING INSTALL, BUT TO BE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IN THE SECOND COLUMN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE UNDERLINED NAME OF WHO THE EXTENSION IS MADE BY IF CLICKING THE LINK BRINGS UP A YAHOO PAGE THIS IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR ISSUES AND SIMPLY UNINSTALLING THIS WILL RID YOU OF THIS DUMB PROBLEM!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! -
I tried to download Tetris yesterday onto my laptop - not quite what you would call an ambitious gamer!
As it was doing so I noticed that the software was trying to alter some settings in the registry.
Now whenever I am in Mozilla I get a pop up saying my PC has 7 window errors and can run faster. I cannot see how to get rid of this.
When I copy the link location it says:

and here is the image
Any ideas?Such a pop-up is likely caused by malware installed on your computer.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How to get rid of ios6 file downloaded to my iphone?
My iphone4 downloaded ios6 two days ago, as far as I know without my intervention (I may have accidentally given order for that...). I've noticed an icon badge with '1' on settings and with surprise I found ios6 had been downloaded and was ready to install!!! I don't want in any way to install by now, but the problem is the huge space occupied by the file - more than 2 GB. So I'd like to know how to get rid of the file. I didn't find anything about...
Same question ! 2 GB of space is waisted 4 the moment ...

How to get rid of MacBooster mini software?
hate it when this crappy mac software sneaks in... I wasn't paying attention when I installed VLC on a reformatted HD and got it from mac.software (top link in google and it looked just like the Videolan site)... thought everything was fine and then noticed strange behaviour ... did a bot of checking and found out this Macbooster app was piggy-backed with the VLC download! Why the **** this happens beats me, especially as I just can't seem to track it down anywhere ... Spotlight can't find it, going through all the preference folders can't find it... I know it's there as it pops up on Activity Monitor from time to time (see pic).
Any software that "cons" its way onto a mac is suspect and is not to be trusted IMO - any idea how to get rid of it... or even actually find where it's hiding?here's what I've tried so far.... all with the same result of "the Folder can't be found"....

Evaluation dialog box - how to get rid of it
Hi,
Is there a way how to get rid of following dialog box when it appears?
Please note user is not allowed to click on any button. I need to do this purely by program. Ideally some registry entry.
Thank you, Michal.Hi Roberto,
Yes! I noticed "Do not show this dialogue again" checkbox but I cannot use it due to several reasons. Let me explain.
I am using LabWindows/CVI ActiveX Controller to control the project creation/building process. This is running on different machines where I cannot really rely on whether this checkox was hit by anyone before or not. So this was a critical requirement to handle any such event without user intervention. Here starts the story where I was looking into automatic solution for how to handle this.
About your second question, the last one should be correct. The CEAL would have to be down for whole my evaulation period in order that CVI would stop working. But when CEAL is available again this 30-day evaluation period should be restarted and with another CEAL outage this window shown again. This is where I am like 90% certain. So please don't take this as an absolute truth if not confirmed by any NI staff.
Anyways as I said before I am not into this solution anymore but if anyone would have any idea how to simply handle this without any user intervention I would store this into my knowledge database . I already mentioned Windows function above which should work. Also there is a freeware SW called AutoIt which basically does the same.
Thank you, Michal. -
How to get rid of Quicktime logo
Hello folks,
thanks to James and his advice I had managed to post my videoclip on the website the way I wanted. (make it start to play right away as a loop without controller being attached to it)
But there is one little problem, which I did not notice until now. Before the clip starts to play, Quicktime logo appears for about 2-3 seconds. Than it dissapears and clip shows up and starts to play. Does anyone know how to get rid of that logo?
Thanks for any tip or advice.
videomanI think this has to do with another setting that is available in QuickTime Pro....something like faststart or something like that. Basically, I think the QuickTime logo is being displayed while your movie is downloaded and your movie doesn't start until it is fully downloaded.
I think you may be able to run your QT movie through iSquint and get the faststart thing activated if you don't have access to QTpro...
http://www.isquint.org
Just push the quality slider to FULL and in the advanced panel enter in your movie dimensions. I don't know if this will do the trick, but it's worth a try. Otherwise, you should be able to enable faststart in QuickTime pro. -

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!
The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.
