I am trying to uninstall and reinstall iPhoto 9.5.1

I have issues exporting a slideshow so found the instructions to uninstall/reinstall posted by Terence Devlin on May 12, 2014. I used steps 1 and 2c (below) to try and uninstall the iPhoto.app but it remains installed:
step 1- drag iPhoto.app from applications folder to the trash
step 2c - older version of iphoto installed from a disk, need additional steps - on 10.7 of later (I have 10.9.2) remove any pkg files with iPhoto in the name from /private/var/db/receipts
I tried repeating step 1 after step 2c but the iphoto icon remains in the applications folder and is absent from the trash folder. When I go to the the app store, it says I still have iphoto installed so I cannot download and install it yet.
Have I missed something in the uninstall process?
My equipment is:
21.5 inch iMac, late 2009, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.9.3 (13D65) Mavericks
I think I orginally installed iPhoto as part of iLife then updated it to iLife 11; recently upgraded to Mavericks and iphoto 9.5.1 which is when I had many of the slidshow problems already posted by others. Several others reported that uninstall/reinstall solved the problem.
Any recommendations?

. Now my problem is I don't know how to "select" the iphoto icon without opening iphoto.
Just left-clicking iPhoto once should select it, so that it is highlighted.
Or right-click (ctrl-click) iPhoto and select "Move to Trash" from the contextual menu.
On the other hand, my keyboard does not have a real "delete" key, just a backspace key that I normally use. I can't find a keyboard model number and don't see how (in "system preferences" - "keyboard") to invoke the "delete" function.
The backspace key should double as a "delete" key. ⌘← should do it.

Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to recent version of iTunes. I get ERROR 7 (Windows 193) message. What do I do to correct when I try to run iTunes?

Wanted to update iTunes to newest version. After install got "Error 7 (Windows erroe 193)
I tried to uninstall and reinstall but still get the same message.

I click on the Mozilla icon and it will not load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that doesn't work either

I have tried to open Firefox, but it just sits there and doesn't load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that works for a few hours and then it goes back to not loading. I don't know what else to do to get it too load.

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Me too - running iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows 7. Will allow me to sign in to iTunes, download app updates and then if I either close iTunes or try to sign out of my iTunes account it all freezes. So frustrating, because my understanding is that iTunes saves the library file when exiting. So, everytime I update apps I lose all the downloads.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

I bought a used 2010 iMac, and don't want to wipe it clean because I would lose the paid apps my friend bought. How do I uninstall and reinstall iPhoto so I can update it with my iTunes acct? Is this possible? suggestions?

You uninstall it by dragging it to the trash
You reinstall by logging into the App store using the Apple ID used to set up the computer and installing form purchases or logging in using your your Apple ID and then purchasing

I haven’t been in this situation, but can’t you just change your account settings and use a different e-mail or maybe add another secondary e-mail to use for verification?

Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean? Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
1 - iPhoto won't start
2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
3 - iPhoto will not import photos
4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

I have downloaded the new Firefox 4 but it will not open and i have tried to uninstall and reinstall the new version.

I have tried 8 to 10 times to uninstall and reinstall Firefox 4. I have since checked my firewall settings and firefox is allowed. It simply just will not open for me. I previously have had firefox and it was simply an update from the 3.6 version. I have websites i need to used saved under my bookmarks and cannot access them in internet explorer

After successful installation of iTunes 10.6.1, iTunes will not open. Tried complete uninstall and reinstall, still not working. Cannot sync iPad or access iTunes at all. Any suggestions?

After successfully installing the iTunes upgrade to 10.6.1, Now I cannot open and access itunes. I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still not working. I have looked through many support communities for answers. I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version. I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

How to uninstall and reinstall iPhoto

How to uninstall and reinstall iphoto

I found a way to edit a command line that was supposedly going to manipulate the program to make my modified photos save as the originals.
Do you mean you modified the application (program) or the library? If it's the application reinstall the app from the App Store. If you just modified the library then you'll have to do what Larry recommends.
You could try rebuilding the library as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If the rebuild library isn't any better than the current library you can trash it.

Trying to uninstall and reinstall itunes, but keeps telling me that folder location has an invalid character

Have had a number of issues with itunes, but everytime I have tried to update it, it tells me that the file location is invalid.
Have tried to go through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, but when I come to uninstall itunes, it tells me that the file location contains an invalid character.
Help!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
