How to Uninstall So I can Reinstall

Hello, I have had to uninstall Adobe Air A few times because this software Market Samurai seems to get damaged from time to time.
It has always worked in the past to go to control panel and click on uninstall a program, then click Market Samurai and uninstall, then click on Adobe Air And click uninstall and then redownload the whole thing.
This time I was able to uninstall Market Samurai but when I tried to uninstall Adobe Air, it does nothing.
The little blue spinning circle that usually comes up when the computer is working, appears for about half a second and then, nothing.
I have left the computer running for days and it won't uninstall the Adobe Air.
If I try to click on Adobe Air again and then click on uninstall, I get a message that says "please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed" but it never finishes. After I turn the computer off and go thriugh the same steps, the same thing happens again.
I have even tried to do a system restore but my competer will not go back far enough with the options it gives me.
Does someone know of another way to uninstall the program? Or something I can install to clean it up?

Chris,
Thank you so much for that.
The first link you gave me worked. After I installed that version of AIR, I was able to reinstall the market samurai and it worked perfectly.
I was beginning to wonder if I needed to hire someone to fix this problem since the AIR support couldn't help and only referred me to the forums.
I left several inquiries in some of the Adobe forums and got no answer.
I'm glad I found you in that one forum but I was beginning to doubt that I would get an answer.
My next thing to try was to try to delete AIR in "safe mode" but I have never been there and was wondering if that would even work.
For some reason this software has had a problem since I bought it.
I have had to uninstall and reinstall 4 times now and I was wondering if there was a reason for that.
One of the Market Samurai support crew told me I should do manual updates but I have no idea what that means.
Occasionally when I try to use the software, I am prompted to update and I always do so then so I am not aware of any automatic updates.
I chalk it up to my ineptness.
Thank you again for the help, Chris
You are a life saver!

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
Thanks

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

How to uninstall 6.0.2/reinstall 6.0.1

For all those frustrated with 6.0.2 and want to reinstall 6.0.1, I found these directions under another discussion board, Apple.com> Support > Discussions > iTunes for Windows > Installing & Upgrading iTunes for Windows
This was posted by Alex123. IF you want the link, please use the following:
http:discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID+330490&start=0
Listed below are the instructions. Please note, under filehippo.com, click on iTunes 6.0.2 and on the next page that appears, you will be able to select an older version of iTunes (6.0.1 or older). Also note that Alex123 does NOT run Norton AntiVirus:
How I fixed iTunes upgrade 6.0.2
Posted: Jan 23, 2006 6:18 AM Reply Email
Hi, I've been having same problems as it seems many of you are. Tried uninstalling/re-installing several times to no avail! Read throught several of the threads on here and came up with the following technique which got iTunes working again on my computer:
1.Backup your music files by transferring C:My Documents/My Music/iTunes & License Backup folders to your desktop or another folder.
2.Uninstall iTunes 6.0.2 AND latest iPod updater (dated January 2006)
3. Restart computer.
4. Find an older version of iTunes (eg.6.0.1, try www.filehippo.com) and download this.
5. Install this version of iTunes
6. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
and download & install the latest standalone quicktime player (this is different to other versions where iTunes 6.0.2 and Quicktime are bundled together.
7. Restart computer again.
8. Start iTunes... it should work! (fingers crossed!)
9. Remember to move your iTunes library back to the right folder (My music) - you may have to delete the new iTunes folder that the installation will have created that will be empty.
If you use a bit of common sense and follow my tips then you shouldn't have any problems at all, but I take no responsibility for anything bad happening! I have done it with no problems though, and this method is less severe than others I have seen (eg. messing with registry entries which I don't know enough about to try dabbling in :-))
Hope this helps, good luck!

Oh and I forgot to mention, I'm not running the Norton Antivirus software that has been causing some people trouble. If you are, you may find other posts will help more, such as the Lorraine M post that can be found in nearby topics. But if you aren't running Norton like me, this will hopefully solve your problems.

I am glad everything worked out for you. I don't think it's your PC--I think it is an iTunes issue. I have another post that begins...HELP!!! Ive tried EVERYTHING!!!...So far, over 700 people have viewed it within the last week, so you are not alone. And, my co-worker has an iPod, and refuses to update hes Dell to 6.0.2 because iTunes has had so many problems in the past with the music store. After numerous emails, this is the final one I received a few days ago:

How to uninstall old iphoto and reinstall it in old Mac Pro (new iphoto not compatible)

I can't install the new iPhoto in my Mac Pro (2006-2007 model) but my old iPhoto is not working, won't open and I can't uninstall it and install it again.
Any ideas how to do it?
Thanks

You probably do not need to
99.9% of the time iPhoto problems are not related to the application but to the library
However we need details - not just "it doesn't work"
What version of ihoto? Of the OS? How does it not work? What exactly happens? what recently changed since it sorked?
If you do need to reinstall you reinstall from the original source

I'm trying to uninstall Firefox because it won't open. I uninstalled twice now from the control panel. Then I went to trouble shooting. It said to open %appdata% then open Mozilla and delete firefox. When I did that the error message was that I needed permission from owner to delete. I'm the owner. Not sure what to do next. I need firefox for my work

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Hello Anthony:
There is no "uninstall." If you have a backup (hopefully you do) made before you moved to OS X 10.6, restore that.

How to uninstall ebs patch 5097966?

But I found the patche isn't my requirement, the patch must be uninstalled from our system. I don't know how to uninstall it.
Can you help me on it?
Thanks & Regards

You do NOT need to apply patch 4561451 (Oracle XML Publisher Release 5.6), instead you need to apply the following patches:
1) Patch 4905678 (Oracle XML Publisher Release 5.6.1)
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=357308.1
2) Patch 5097966 (Oracle XML Publisher Release 5.6.2)
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=367394.1
Since you have already applied patch 5097966, then you just need to apply patch 4905678. Please follow the instructions in the note: 357308.1 carefully. Once you are done, you will be running the latest version of Oracle XML Publisher which is 5.6.2
Btw, I like your name since I am a big fan of Michael Owen :)

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Macbook: How do I uninstall a game on the macbook? I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with. I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash. Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run. Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too.
You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.
