How to uninstall FileMaker Pro 10 in Lion?

Hey guys!
I want to uninstall FileMaker Pro 10 from my computer. I checked on the FileMaker Website and this is what i've found: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7095/~/uninstalling-filemaker- pro-and-filemaker-pro-advanced
Basically the uninstall consists in deleting the FileMaker Pro folder from the applications folder and also locating the "FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs" file to delete it as well. The path to locate this file according to the instructions is: <home>/Library/Preferences/FileMaker Preferences/ FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs
First of all I noticed that there is no longer a library folder for the users in the computer like previous versions of Mac OS X. The only one is under Macintosh HD and when I looked into the preferences folder there is no "FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs" file.
I did a spotlight search for this file and it doesn't seem to exist. What should I do? should I just delete the FileMaker Application folder and that's it or is there anything else I need to delete? Has lion integrated it to the app folder somehow?
Thanks for your help!

William, thanks for your help! I found the folder and the file. Well the reason I would like to remove this file is because I want to install  FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced upgrade. Now I checked with filemaker and they say that in order to upgrade you don't need to have a previous version of the program installed in order to correctly upgrade but you need to enter the old version serial number in order for the new version to work. If I don't uninstall filemaker Pro 10 before I install the new version i will have two versions of filemaker and two sets of preferences folders and I think that could turn messy.
Any comments are welcome and thanks again.

  • How to uninstall Virtual PC from mac Lion?

    Hi,
    I installed a Virtual PC (7 version) machine on my mac system yesterday but I found it cannot work because the compatible issue, my system is OS X mountain lion. It is always saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported". Now what I want is just uninstall Virtual PC from my mac and I do not want to bother using it. Because what bothers me is that the panel show in the Finder is not like previously shown. There are not the left favoraties column shown any more. I cannot go to the right folder to see files and it create so big trouble! I just want everything back. Another thing is that everytime when it starts up, there will be a box pop up saying like "the virtual machine cannot start up because the setting is not right" things like this. I guess the Virtual PC disorder some settings in OS X system.
    So I only want to unistall this Virtual PC. I guess it can not be remove by just simpy delete the icon in applciations, am I right? I find the "Uninstal Virtual PC" icon in the dmg package, but when I dounble click it, it also shows "You can't open the application "Uninstal Virtual PC" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"! which drives me crazy. Does anyone know about how to uninstall Virtual PC from mac for this situation? I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Amanda

    I just followed the instructions and clicked contunue.  I guess I just finished part 1, the installing part. The details are:
    section 1: installing virtual PC
    section 2: setting up virtual PC
    section 3: setting up windows
    In Section 1 you will install the Virtual PC for Mac application and supporting files. You will need to restart your computer at the end of Section 1.
    Section 2 covers personalizing Virtual PC for Mac and the installation of Windows.
    In Section 3, you will configure Windows."
    I clicked continue to let it install (section 1). After that, Mac restarted and it never asked me to set up virtual PC. All the problems aboved mentioned came up afterwards.
    Did I do anything wrong?
    Thanks.

  • Filemaker Pro 7 with Lion

    I have just upgraded to Lion (from Snow Leopard) and to my horror discover that certain applications won't run with that operating system.   Most importantly, this includes Filemaker Pro 7, my database.  I urgently need access to that as I'm running a big charity event and need the 900+ contents in my database.
    Ideally I would run in on Lion, but if I am persuaded to buy an expensive new version of Filemaker Pro or other database, will I be able to import the contents from my Filemaker Pro.    I am not a geek, so would gratefully appreciate any responses in a way I am likely to understand.  Thank you so much in anticipation.   The Little Pip

    Thank you so much.  I was afraid that this would be the case.  But if I do invest in the latest version of Filemaker Pro (11), will I definitely be able to transfer all the formats and data from my old version (7)?  This is critical.  If I can't, I might find an alternative solution...
    So, I will also have to buy new Microsoft Office for Mac. I do think they ought to warn one before one upgrades.
    It's a lot of money - for some of us.
    But thank you for your prompt response.

  • How to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and Reinstall Logic Pro 7.2?

    For numerous reasons I'd like to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and return to Logic Pro 7, the reasons for which I'd rather not discuss, as I'd like to focus on the reinstallation task.
    Apple states that Logic Pro 7 still functions, but this is not entirely correct. Since many instruments were replaced, the complex 50-track songs that I painstakingly mixed on pure LP7 (prior to the upgrade) now sound completely different in LP7 post-LP8 install (as well as LP8 as you can imagine). It seems that the levels are actually different on some of the EXS and other instruments. Yes, Apple says they are richer and better, but I really don't care. I am in the middle of a CD and need to return to the state I was in prior to the upgrade.
    Ultimately I'd like to reinstall Logic Pro 7 and/or its content in order to get all of my original instruments back.
    Does anyone have a procedure for this? Should I uninstall Logic Pro 8 and then perform a complete reinstall of Logic Pro 7 following Apple's procedure? Or should I simply use Pacifist to replace the content files that were replaced? Will any of my preferences (plug-in settings) be lost during a reinstall? Should the rest of Logic Studio be uninstalled as well?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    P.S. I'm just looking for a procedure and do not wish to discuss the reasons, which you'll find all over the forums.

    Thank you.
    Regarding copying the settings, these should all be in my personal user folder, correct? My plugin settings should all reside here as I understand. Would ANY customized settings reside anywhere OTHER than my user folder? *Yes, everything should live here, but it never hurts to snoop around the other folders just in case.*
    I had modified some EXS instrument settings, but did not import new ones.
    Where would the personal EXS settings exist - in my user folders or elsewhere? *All exs are stored Library / Application Support / Logic or GarageBand. The audio files for instrument should be stored there as well. You will need to copy and save both the instrument file and the associated audio files*.
    If I simply modified an EXS instrument within a song, my understanding is that would be a property of the song itself, correct? *Yes, if you did not save the exs instrument as new instrument, it settings are stored with the song.*
    Also,
    Which folders am I deleting when I "delete both versions of Logic"? *You can delete ANY and all folders associated with them. Delete them out of the Apps folder, utilities, and Application support*.
    And how would I delete the new Logic 8 content - where does it reside? *The Library. Not in front of my mac so sorry I can't be more specific.*
    I just spoke to Apple and they recommended an "Erase and Restore" of the entire system, and a reinstall of Logic 7 in order to get me back to where I was - do you agree? *Yes, that is the preferred method but only if you are willing or in a position to start from scratch i.e re-installing all 3rd party apps, hardware drivers ect. Remember to back up all your important files.*
    Thanks!

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:

  • How to uninstall Soundtrack Pro

    Hi,
    I've upgraded to Logic Studio 2 and I only use Logic Pro. All has been fine but my disk is near to be full, so I want to recover some space uninstalling Soundtrack Pro ( v3.0 ) and the contents associated with it.
    I have not found any reference to a customized uninstall in the documentation from Apple. Is there any 'official' procedure to uninstall only Soundtrack Pro ?? Or delete all apps to do a clean install ??
    Regards,
    Joan

    The app for STP3 is not very large. It is in Applications folder.
    Other content like Apple Loops and sound beds are used by Logic too. You can find these here -

  • How to "uninstall" Rosetta manually installed into Lion (or Mt. Lion)

    Some users of Final Cut Studio 2 (and some users of Logic Pro 8) discovered that they could not use the installer app for these programs in Lion.
    Some on this forum (and others) have suggested that Rosetta be installed from a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD into Lion or Mt. Lion.  Although that technique does work for FCS2 (and perhaps Logic Pro 8), the better and SAFER approach is to use Pacifist.
    In any event, I am beginning to see anecdotal reports that some of these "Rosetta-installed" Lion Mac are experiencing problems "down the road."  I am also receiving requests from those who did install Rosetta on instructions on how to remove it.
    In an attempt to get Rosetta out of these machines BEFORE it can corrupt any other files, we would appreciate a detailed instruction on how to remove Rosetta from Lion (and to the extent that the instructions would be different, on Mt. Lion).
    I post this on behalf of those who installed Rosetta; I am not one of them...

    However translate is there, as you can see from this screenshot.  So the problem here must be EasyFind:
    That's weird. EasyFind is what I use for any search (I never bother to even look at Spotlight). translate came up, along with 400 other files with "translate" in the name. The vast majority of which had the identical name of WordTranslatedFontSample.
    Kurt, can you fresh my memory on how to delete files in the "usr" directory; I seem to recall it involves using logging into the Root level.
    Nah, no need to go that route. One way is from within EasyFind itself. You could just highlight the file and click the Delete button at the top. Still don't understand why it doesn't show for you (unless the drive you have chosen for it to search, minilax, is not the correct drive). But otherwise, to view all files and folders on your Mac, open the Terminal and enter the following two lines.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    The second command forces the Finder to relaunch so it reads the change you made to the Finder .plist file.
    All hidden files and folders will now show as grayed out objects, but they are all accessible. You'll be able to navigate directly to the /usr/libexec/oah/ folder.
    When you're done, type in the same two lines, except change TRUE to FALSE to return file viewing to normal.
    Clearly RosettaNonGrata stays put, but...
    As far as I can tell, that file has no use other than to turn Rosetta on and off using the Terminal. Like this:
    Disable Rosetta:
    sudo /usr/sbin/sysctl -w kern.exec.archhandler.powerpc=/usr/libexec/oah/RosettaNonGrata
    (These two sudo commands are all one line, they're just wrapping in the forum display)
    That's a quick cheat to get Rosetta to reinstall. After running the command, Snow Leopard believes Rosetta is not installed (even though it is). When you attempt to run a PPC app, OS X then asks to download and install Rosetta.
    You can also manually reenable it:
    Re-enable after Rosetta has already been installed:
    sudo /usr/sbin/sysctl -w kern.exec.archhandler.powerpc=/usr/libexec/oah/translate
    Other than getting the Rosetta translate file to reinstall without searching for your Snow Leopard disk, the commands don't have much use.
    I have a different opinion about the Shims folder: it appears clear to me that it was created by the installation of Rosetta.
    You could very well be right. Being in the same folder with the other two items, you would assume they're related. If I drill down through the various items in the Shims folder and opened them in TextEdit (including the .dylib files), nothing references Rosetta. At least not by name. It's rather hard to tell what any of them are for.

  • How to uninstall maverick back to mountain lion?

    I have instaled maverick but have found that it does not support some programs so wish to revert back to mountin lion.  Is this possible and if it is can you give me a very basic explenation of how to do so.
    Many thanks

    Another option too for those (kind of like me) who never did the time machine.
    I just restored my computer back to Mountain Lion, and she's working perfect again, as I knew she would. E-mail popping into mailbox instantly as it should and did before the update, printer working fast as it was before update, no more freezing or glitches of any kind thankfully and finally. Here is the link that is through the Apple site to direct you on how to put your system back and get rid of Maverick's, that is assuming that is what you would like to do and also includes link for those wanting to try fixing the issue if that is your preference (most of this info is for those with mountain lion and some with the previousverisoin of OS X lion).
    If you want to keep Maverick's here is a good post on the apple discussion board to help you out:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6161
    If you just want to totally get rid of it and put back what you had before, this is the short version of how to do so:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    NOTE: This particular link has a lot of info on what to do for different situations, it is a bit lengthy, yet still very helpful.

    I hope this helps someone, it was amazing for me and my system is working perfect again like it was, battery life is way better went from like 3 hours to like 5 (not on full charge by the way, after it sat for a while doing the online update which took a while so that's saying something alone, huge improvement). I plan to wait a while before attempting to reinstall Maverick's, long enough for them to fix the bugs.

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.

  • HT1619 How do I disconnect an Apple remote from my MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion update?

    My friend set up Apple TV while I was using my laptop in the same room and the remote is now connected to my laptop. I've looked at a bunch of different sites and forums trying to figure out how to disconnect it and it seems that with the new Mountain Lion operating system, there is no way to do this. PLEASE HELP it's driving me crazy because everytime he presses a buttom on the remote, it interferes with what I'm doing.

    Sorry, but my late 2009 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion continues to be be controlled by the ATV2 remote after disabling remotes in system preferences. Anyone else having the issue or has a solution?
    Cheers!

  • HT1338 I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is starting slow and opening with some of the programs. How can I fix the problem?

    I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?

    Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
    If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
    Reboot normally and test.

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.
