How to uninstall apple updates

how do I uninstall apple software updates?

Recover the backup you made before installing the update. If you didn't backup, let that be a lesson never to install anything without a backup*:

Apple's Safari updates frequently update Webkit, which is a system wide resource tapped by several applications. If an application misbehaves after the update it probably is because it accesses webkit. If Safari misbehaves after an update, that usually is an indication the website in question that you are browsing doesn't follow standards, and an alternative browser is needed*:

You can do this if you don't have a backup:
1. Still make a couple clone backups.
2. Erase and install 10.6 that installed 10.6 before on your machine.
3. Run the 10.6.8 combo updater.
4. Install an older version of Safari.
Note if you aren't running 10.6.8, please state so, and we can help you find an older version of Safari that works with your system.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

How to uninstall Apple Application Support v. 1.2.1 on a PC or force a new installation of QuickTime

After running Apple QuickTime for three or more years on my PC running Windows XP, apparently some part of its code became corrupted. Trying to install an updated version of QuickTime, all went well until the new installation was not able uninstall the old version of Apple Application Support, v. 1.2.1.
How can I uninstall the old version of Apple Application Support v. 1.2.1, or, how can I force a new installation of QuickTime without first uninstalling Apple Application Support?
Thanks for your help.
Jim

Jim, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache is where Apple Application Support is located should you want to delete it, the version you mention is old.
You may be able to first force a new update by going to. C:\ Program Files\Apple Software Update and double clicking on SoftwareUpdate exe
If that doesn't work for you than you would have to remove the old QuickTime msi file. Which is a microsoft installer file. Located in C:\WINDOWS\Installer
If you have any difficulty locating and removing the msi file this link to Windows Installer CleanUp Utillty should help. If not post back.

Apple does not support intermediate iOS updates...you can only update to the latest iOS version that will run on your iOS device. Therefore, you have to update to iOS 8.1, not 7.1.2. The files appropriate to your device are only available in 8.1.

How to uninstall OS update

i would like to know if i can uninstall the latest update for mac Os, because my printer stop working after update.

I don't know of any way to go back to 10.7.2. And you should really consider backing up your data incase your hard drive fails. In fact, before the update to 10.7.3, Apple suggested to do a Time Machine backup. Your printer is not working at all? Are the drivers up to date?

How to uninstall/remove updates??!

hi gents,
I have downloaded some updates that i now want to remove (stuff that i'm not using and which occupy a lot of resources like garageband for example)..
what should i do to remove those updates (the ones i can see from system preference>software update>installed updates)?
thanks a lot

To remove an Apple Application Update requires deleting and re-installing the Application from the Tiger install disc or if you purchased iLife 05 which includes Garage Band, deleting and re-installing Garage Band from the iLife 05 install disc and then don't re-install the application update.
The same for a Tiger OS or Security Update. If your Tiger install disc includes 10.4.0 and you updated to 10.4.2 and want to revert back to 10.4.1 requires re-installing Tiger from the install disc via an Archive & Install and then install the 10.4.1 Update only.
If you want to remove Garage Band or another application from the hard drive you don't need or use, check Uninstalling applications and to free up additional hard drive space, check Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

How to uninstall driver update

Previous to and on the day of October 13, I successfully scanned 35mm slides until the Epson driver update 2.18 was installed in the background. While the scanner produces regular images, it no longer scans transparencies. How can I rollback the driver so I can the previously successful older driver?

It may be possible, but you will need to know what files make up the driver software and where they are installed. I'm afraid I can't help you. Now, if you visit Epson you may be able to download the previous driver.

How to Completely Remove/Uninstall Apple Remote Desktop?

This is for my home office system.
I do not want Remote Desktop installed on my home system. There is no reason for it there. Nobody needs to access my machine remotely and I do not even like the idea that there is an application on my machine that would enable anyone remote access to my machine.
When I first got this machine, I deleted what I thought were all the files associated with Remote Desktop. I have no files anywhere on my machine named "Remote Desktop" or "RemoteDesktop" or "ARD", yet I'm CONSTANTLY getting the Software Update alert, telling me I need to install "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.3.2".
For months now I've been ignoring it, and just un-checking the install box every time I need to do updates of other apps. But it is now driving me up the wall.
How in the heck do I make this F-ing thing go away?

yet I'm CONSTANTLY getting the Software Update alert, telling me I need to install "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.3.2".
That update message has nothing to do with uninstalling Apple Remote Desktop, which you have either uninstalled already or never had. All versions of Mac OS X since 10.4 have had the ARD client as part of the installation, and there's no way to remove it (not without hacking your system, anyway).
What is the problem with you just accepting the update? It's not going to hurt anything; unless you turn on Screen Sharing or Remote Management, no one can gain access to your computer. But if you want to not see that update presented, select it when it appears in Software Update and choose "Ignore Update" from the Update menu. Just unchecking it will only keep it from installing; it will not keep it from being presented again the next time you run Software Update.
