How to get rid of McSolitare?  I've updated and still shows.

I downloaded this app, removed it by dragging it to the trash, emptying, and the updates in the app store keep coming for this app. I've read others have had that issue in general. So I figured the heck with it, I'll leave it installed (via the update that wouldn't go away) until apple resolves this issue with the app store. Now, I'm constantly showing this as an update, even though I've downloaded/installed the update.
Is there any way to get rid of this off my local mac to remove all the remaining signs of the program?
Thanks.

I am confused why you keep sending folks on this wild goose chase of deleting this and that when Apple has told folks through Apple Care that at present you cannot delete purchases from the purchases pane of the Mac App Store. This information is not stored on our Macs, it is stored on Apple's servers in conjunction with our iTunes accounts and is permanently there for the time being.
Personal case in point. My personal Mac is a Mac mini. Monday I took it to the AASP here in Monterrey, MX for them to install 8 GB of RAM. After they installed the RAM, the Bluetooth no longer worked, so my wireless KB and MM would not connect. They checked it out and tell me that the wireless card had failed on the BT end so they have ordered a new one from the Apple warehouse in Mexico City and I may get my Mac mini back from them Thursday.
In the mean time I have an Admin account on my iMac used by my roommates. So I am now using the iMac. The Mac App Store has never been used on this Mac and certainly not in my Admin account. Also iTunes has never been used in this Admin account. When I signed into the MAS on this iMac for the first time yesterday there were all my purchased apps made from the Mac mini waiting for me to download and install them on the iMac, including two free ones that I "bought" and subsequently hated and deleted from the Mac mini. They cannot be gotten rid of.
So please stop suggesting this process to folks, it does not work. A number of folks have reported here in the MAS forum that Apple has said that it cannot be done. Can anyone honestly report that they have followed this procedure and been successful?

    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 Pop Ups, Pop Unders and YouTube ads

    Ever since AdBlock stopped working in Safari, I've searched til no end for another program, or extension, that will get rid of all pop ups, pop unders, and YouTube ads and banners for Safari.  Nothing. 
    This astounds me because I've never known Mac gurus to not be on top of somthing like this.  Are there any alternatives?  I only use Safari and not Firefox or Chrome. 
    I've downloaded Glimmer Blocker but it doesn't stop pop-unders at all.  Is there a hack to get it to?  What is everyone else doing?  I can't imagine people are just putting up with the bombardment of ads!  Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Just to double check but did you made sure to download the latest version of the extension and ensure that it was enabled inside the Safari setting's menu?

  • After starting up a brand new 10.8.2 iMac it linked to an older iMac, 15 hrs later I have a duplicate screen of 10.6.8; how to get rid of all that down load and free up the new iMac?

    After starting up a brand new imac it down loaded off an older 10.6.8 running imac for 15 hiurs, now I have a duplicate of the older; how to dump all the older stuff and get my new imac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • How to get rid off custom installed theme completely and revert back to mavericks theme(system default)

    Recently, I tried installing a third party theme in my macbook pro (OSX mavericks_10.9.5 installed). Once installation got over i could notice that it was not properly installed in my retina display so i thought of reinstalling the same. Re-install could not be done properly because the theme was a hacked version. The installer theme packages effected the GUI of my system and thus it upgraded some of my core services applications to its custom theme format. So is there any solution to revert those services back to its default state.? Or is there any any way to get these installed format back to older format(icons and stuffs).?Or will it resolve the issue if i try installing the new OSx Mavericks (Productivity tool) from the AppStore?.Please let me know if you guys have got something the issue.
    Please help me.

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

  • How to get rid of excessive pop-ups, ads, and unwanted redirects

    About month or two ago, I started getting excessive ads on my computer. Scams, Microsoft stuff, Adobe Flash upgrades hat were obviously fake. The ads generally appeared on the pay, but evolved to gene ate separate tabs and windows. It gets really annoying when i can't click twice without getting a scam, or being redirected. I don't know if there are similar topics. i'm not going to look cause in the 5 minutes it took for me to write this, I've been redirected TWICE. I hope someone can help me. Adblock previously installed, but was uninstalled BECAUSE IT DID ****. I am an active gamer, particularly Minecraft.

    P.s, before someone asks, yes, I already held a cross up to my computer. It didn't work.

    You may have installed the "VidX" trojan, perhaps under a different name. To remove it, first open the Applications folder by selecting
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the Finder menu bar, or by pressing the key combination shift-command-A. Look for an item named "VidX," "MacVx," "MacSmart," or similar. If present, drag it to the Trash and empty. If in doubt, delete any application you don't recognize.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extension you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. You may well have more than one that's adware or spyware.

  • How to get rid of the Ice Cream update

    Does anyone know if you can downgrade back to the Gingerbread software??  The Ice cream update looks nice, but had messed up the video feature on the phone before I could take clear crisp video that look as if I used a video camera, after the update the video is crap, I have tried all the features including the HD and it is still horrible, and worst than anything I have used before I discovered that my phone was better than my flip camera and much easier to upload.

    I want to let you know it took me 20+ minutes to create an account; and I did so only so that I could reply to this and give you *the answer*..
    Not that anyone from Verizon will tell you..
    eBay.
    I (in my personal account - this is a business one..) have two phones with a 'grandfathered 3G unlimited data' contracts..
    I keep that 'data plan' as long as I BRING MY OWN DEVICE..
    So after asking several people.. I went to ebay got myself a LTE/4G device that I liked and was willing to pay for..
    Changed it in my account; done.  Had to physically visit the store to get the SIM card; but no change in my monthly plan.
    Please let me know if you do not understand and I will *gladly* hold your hand and make sure you get it..

  • How to get a 1080p clip into NTSC SD and still keep decent quality ?

    I have this clip* that I want to eventually convert down into NTSC SD 4:3.
    I am losing sharpness and this is probably from converting it from progressive to interlaced.
    Anyone got any advice on how I can not lose so much sharpness and overall quality in my conversion?
    To complicate matters slightly, I am exporting it from a MAC Final Cut to Premiere Cs6 which seems not to handle apple formats as nicely as native windows formats. :s

  • How can I stop ios 7.1.1 update and still sync and back my iphone4?

    iOS 7 wiped my iPhone 4 and I am still manually restoring the lost music,  photos ect that I can still find. I never want another update - yes apple I really think you don't gave a stuff about us, we can be forced to buy another phone and that'll boost your profits more so why would you care! Anyway the phone has downloaded but not applied the update. Next time on power my phone will be bricked! Yes I have back ups but iTunes lost those last time. And doubt they've done a fix for that! I've turned off auto sync in iTunes and it has been asking to do update which I decline as blew up my computer restoring from ios 7. If I try to backup and sync will the update happen? If so I need to dump apple as I cannot lose my phone and my pc again I am trying to do my finals! Apple treat your customers properly and test these updates properly as there are other options! Help!

    I had the same request and called Apple Store where I live yesterday and asked if there was any way to make this downgrade happen. But unfortunately not...

  • How to get rid of movie and tv cover flow

    I would like to know if there is any way that I can get rid of the itunes store movie and tv show covers that come up when I turn on my apple TV.
    I do not mind the cover flow from my own content, but I have a lot of small children who do not need to be seeing the R rated images on many of the store movie and tv show options.  It is terribly inconvient to ask my little ones to leave the room so that I can search for and load an age apportiate show for them.
    I highly recommend addressing this if it has not come up before.  Consider allowing owner chosen artwork or just a keep it blank.  Maybe put the option under parental controls.
    Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks,
    Nick

    No it's not possible and we've had a few discussions about this in the past - minors can browse/see cover art that can be innappropriate even if they cannot rent/purchase.
    If you mainly have your own content you could disable the iTunes store or maybe see if you can configure your router to allow it LAN connectivity only.
    Disabling iTunes store however still allows access to Movie trailers.
