Hello,
Must I transfer the files or folders in Trash? Are not there any "official" system to uninstall the MAC OS 9 applications? Is not there some official methods in the Control Panel's Applications folder, for example?
Thank you very much for your response and best regards.
Pan.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind 4.9, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper 2.0.1
AppDelete 3.2.6
Automaton 1.50
Hazel
AppCleaner 2.1.0
CleanApp
iTrash 1.8.2
Amnesia
Uninstaller 1.15.1
Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How to uninstall iTunes in mac and then install again

how to uninstall iTunes in mac and then install again

You should be able to simply visit: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ to download iTunes, and run the installer to overwrite your previous version...

I don't think this will fix your problem with restoring your iPhone 4 though. That is likely a seperate issue.
but i can do it with any windows?
Yes, you can theoretically restore your iPhone with any computer running the most current version of iTunes (10.6.3) unless there is some other issue.
I get error code(21)
According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21:
"These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
Do you run any anti-virus or third-party firewalls on your computer? Try disabling them and trying the restore process again. It may be possible that one of these security applications is interfering with the iPhone's ability to authenticate with Apple's servers.

How to uninstall Tuneup my mac?

Hi,
Did a search on this site and found a post on how to uninstall Tuneup my mac by
1) Opening tuneup in launch pad
2) clicking on help
3) clicking on uninstall
Easy right?
well it seems like the good folks at tuneup my mac have now removed the uninstall option from the help menu....
I never wanted this program, it got installed in my macbook when I went on a binge of installing free music Synthesizer Apps, I have no idea which one of the apps snuck it through and just one look at Tuneup My Mac tells me it's a malware program, at worst, or at the very least least a pest of a program that is potentially harmful. I am loathe to even capitalize the name of the thing.... hahahha.
I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to computers but I am to Apple and that said I don't understand code at this point, I mostly use computers as music creation tools working with preexisting programs.
I will apologize now if this thread has already been discussed here, as i said my search led me to a thread offering a solution that since seems to have been circumvented by the lovely people at tuneup.
Any feedback would be welcome,
Thank you.

If you first installed it from Cnet or Softonic you have a necessary, though unpleasant lesson to swallow.   Never install anything from either of these sites which are well known to inject all sorts of nasties into your download.

How to uninstall and reinstall mac os x...corrupt files...help!

i recently got a macbook pro to use for my photography and music and such, but i have never had a mac before and i'm used to pcs. i think a virus may have gotten on my computer because a couple days ago i went to upload a cd into itunes and i noticed that none of the songs i uploaded played. they showed up in the player but didn't actually play. so i restarted itunes and it said that my library was corrupt and that it had created a new one. the same thing happened in aperture. i exported some pictures from aperture to a file on my computer, and the pictures were there but half of them wouldn't display. so i restarted my computer, and aperture said it had to recover my folders, but it only recovered the folders that came with aperture...all of my library folders were gone. so i tried to import files from my computer into the aperture library and aperture just closed. this is actually the only way aperture will close--once it is open i have to force quit or just try to import files. since i have never worked with macs before the only way i can see to solve this problem is to burn all of my music and pictures to rewritable dvds (because those are the only files i really need) and then uninstall and reinstall mac os x. but i don't really know how to do this. any suggestions?

How to uninstall programs on Mac OSX

I just switched from PC to Mac, and I have no idea how to uninstall programs.
Im thinking you just drag the app to the trashcan, but does that remove all the files, or is there another way?

Hello,
Preference files (.plist) are left in
~/Library/Preferences if you want clean those out too
(I dont like anything left over). Sometimes other
Yes, some people don't like the slightest trace left behind. But, for the novice user, the PLIST files are not a big deal. They don't take-up much space, and are not worth accidentally deleting the wrong file for a novice.
files are left (cache folders and application
folders) that need to be removed too.
Fortunately, that is done quite easily by running maintenance programs like OnyX that clear out the caches:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
I used to do it all manually (using spotlight
search), but recently found AppZapper
(http://appzapper.com/) and use that. Worth every
penny and does a great job clearly everything out.
Never used that program. It sounds convenient. But, I'm a bit cheap. I won't pay for anything I can do for free
But moving the program to the trash does "uninstall"
the program. However some large ones (like Adobe
Photoshop and Dreamweaver) install things all over
your system, so just deleting them from Applications
wont remove everything.
Yes, there is the occasional program like that. I'm happy to say that they are the minority. I don't like programs that scatter stuff about.

How to UNINSTALL software?

I am having serious issues w/ my Mac (ie. Safari and other apps "unexpectedly quit", unable to open apps if other apps already open, desktop and Safari loading VERY slowly). I took my mac to a local Apple store, and it looks like I need to uninstall the Virex software that came pre-installed on my mac.
It was also suggested that I archive and re-install my whole OS!
I'm somewhat intimidated by the thought of messing w/ my OS, so I've muddled along w/ the same issues for several months now, doing quick, minor fixes to get me by (ie. closing open apps to use other apps, resetting Safari and the cache, trashing library .plist files and the icons folder). My usual quick fixes don't seem to be helping now, sooooo....it looks like I have to get down and dirty now.
How do I uninstall the Virex software that came already installed on my Mac?
How do I archive files (and what files SHOULD be archived, for that matter) and uninstall/reinstall my OS?

KSilver:
Take a look at Dr. Smoke's FAQ on Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch and see if it offers any help.
In addition to John's suggestion to run Unix Maintenance (CRON cleaning) you may need to do some other maintenance. Gulliver offers good advice in Mac OS X System Maintenance.
Please post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

How to uninstall softwares?

Hey all! I have a new Macbook got replaced with an old one and the entire data is transferred using Migration assistant. So if I open few programs they are not working. I plan to uninstall them and install again. How do I uninstall the softwares COMPLETELY? For example: I have yahoo messenger and I tried to login for the very first time and there was an error. So, I deleted it by putting it in trash. I cannot see any folder for it. Just there was a messenger icon in the dock and in the applications folder. I tried installing the messenger and still face the same problem. This time after deleting it from dock and applications folder, I typed yahoo in the spotlight and could see it to my surprise. I need to know the root folders so that I can UNINSTALL completely. I have same problem with iwork too. I do not see any root folder with icons like REMOVE or UNINSTALL. I have office 2006 and it has a folder in applications itself with icons like REMOVE OFFICE COMPLETELY. How do I uninstall any software completely?

How to uninstall iTunes for Mac OS X?

Online it says I can unistall iTunes for my Mac but I have to have iTunes for OS X so it will not let me delete the application & uninstall it.
How do you get past this step?

First, that is the jist of the message if you try to delete it. After that it is speculation.
After that, you can't sync your iDevices, but the OP doesn't care about that. It also is linked closely with displaying and playing various media on the Mac.
But then again, I don't think either of us are Apple developers. So why are you trying to bully your opinion on me, without offering any proof of your opinion?
And you are the one who stated your position was an opinion
I took the stance that we had opposing opinion.
You have shown a way to do it, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
