How to uninstall programs from my mac pro that I can't drag to the trash?

I have several programs that I no longer use that I want to uninstall. Some of them will not allow me to drag and drop them in the trash. How do I get rid of the programs that I no longer want?

If they are third p[arty applications, go to the developers web site and look for specific instructions on deleting the application in question.
Ciao.

    how to uninstall programs from Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
    Theres a couple ways to uninstall programs. The launchpad is the rocket icon on the dock. If you open that you should see your apps spread out as icons as if it would be on a iphone or other iOS device. If you just click the icon with your mouse button and continue holding the mouse button the will shake and show the X. If you click that X it will ask if you want to delete the program. This only works for programs downloaded through the APP Store. If a program does not have an X then proceed to the next way of uninstalling
    -- The way to delete a program that will not delete the previous way is as followed:
    Open finder
    - On the left side you will see applications > Click that
    - Then you will see all the programs on the right side.
    - If you click on the program and drag it to your trash bin it will ask if you would like to make changes and delete.
    - Just make sure not to delete anything that was preinstalled with you Mac

    Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

  • How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension

    How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can
    invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension
    As per the documentation iisforward.dll is registered as a filter and .wlforward
    has also been
    included as a special file type. However this requires me to key-in ".wlforward"
    after my servlet name.
    What I want is something like this
    http://iis/MyServlet
    Please help me find a solution to this
    Thanks,
    Rishi

    I am able to invoke the servlet without the wlforward extension now.
    However, now I am required to add /weblogic before the servlet
    name otherwise it does not execute the pathtrim property.
    I have tried with the pathprepend thing also.
    Can we get rid of the /weblogic part also. I just want to execute
    my servlet as http://iis/myServlet.
    Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated...
    Thanks..

    Thanks for the reply Kumar.
    I did follow the instructions as given in the Weblogic documentation
    The documentation said to add iisforward.dll as a filter service
    and register .wlforward as a special
    file type to be handled by iisproxy.dll. For this,
    while configuring the IIS server in the Home Directory tab
    I added an extension ".wlforward" and the executable as
    iisproxy.dll. Is this the way it should have been done...
    I also modified the iisproxy.ini file as per the documentation.
    I have added the WLForwardPath property and set it to /weblogic.
    My server works fine when I give the url as
    http://iis/myServlet.wlforward
    but it does not work for
    http://iis/myServlet and this is the way i'd want it to work.
    Please tell me if I am missing something on the configuration part
    and if there is something special that needs to be done. I shall
    be grateful to you.

  • 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 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.

  • Uninstall Leopard from new Mac Pro

    Got a brand spankin new Mac Pro at work which was thrilling until it became obvious that nothing works with Leopard (which is what came on the Mac). Too many of our vital apps won't work with Leopard (read Adobe CS2) and the boss isn't prepared to update everything to be compatible with Leopard, plus it's not even possible to update some of them.
    So what is the least painful way to get Tiger on this computer?
    We don't own an external drive.

    Hello,
    Unless you have a copy of Tiger for Intel, you cannot do it. The "off the shelf" version of tiger is for the PowerPC. If you can get ahold of a Mac Pro Tiger reinstall DVD set, then you could try to do an erase and install of tiger. I am not sure if you are going to see any issues or not with Tiger on the new hardware. I would guess not, but you never know.
    Ebay might be a good place to look for a mac pro reinstall dvd.
    Just pop in the dvd, press and hold "C" before the computer chimes and it should boot to the CD, after that it is as easy as apple.

  • Stupid question: how do uninstall programs on a mac?

    just bought a macbook, never really used a mac before but need it for editing w/final cut. if i wanted to uninstall a program, is there a place to uninstall programs like in windows? thanks a lot.

    To be clear:
    It is generally safe to simply find the application and drag it to the trash. By far and away the majority of applications are self contained and trashing them is all you have to do to uninstall.
    Now, there are some applications that install additional files. Most of these will place files either in /library/application support/ or /username/library/application support/. They're easy to find with Spotlight because the folders they reside in will usually have the name of the application or the manufacturer in them. For example, Adobe uses the Application Support folder. The Adobe files are in a folder called... you guessed it: Adobe.
    The long and the short of it is that uninstalling applications on a Mac is nothing like uninstalling applications on a PC. There is no registry to mess with and most applications are very kind to the system and leave no weird additional files lying around that you have to hunt down and clean up.
