I'd like to uninstall iCal and possibly iSync

I'd like to trash iCal and iSync and reinstall. How do I do this?
Right now it takes 20 minutes to an hour to do a mundane task such as deleting an event. I believe that either there is something wrong with the SyncManager or I have a hidden conflict. As to the hidden conflict, at this rate it could take me years to discover it since I have about 15 calendars.
I've posted a couple of replies to topics before about things that have worked for me when this happens in the past but nothing works for long. I've reset the sync history, trashed the sync folder, trashed the iCal preference files etc. and it seems to have no effect now.
I have my calendar data archived and also on my Palm. My Palm is my main calendar that I input new events. My plan is to delete duplicate entries and do general clean-up on my Palm, sync my Palm data into one calendar in iCal, re-create my calendars and then put the events to the new calendars. I have 3+ years of data so I'm not looking forward to this.

I went into my dummy user account and iCal worked like a charm I was able to do everyday tasks with blinding speed. I had forgotten how fast it was at one time! Sniffle! I was not able to sync to it from my palm though.
After this experiment I'm assuming that it's not the program itself. Yeah! Again, I think it may be a calendar conflict or the SyncManager is sick.
Instead of uninstall/install I may just try to delete each calendar (this could take about 15 hours if it takes an hour per calendar!) down to the basic HOME and WORK, empty them out then but still keep them then re-sync my Palm events one-way into iCal. I'll check the activity monitor to see if after I delete a calendar the SyncManger activity goes back down. Then I'll know if that was the problem.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

I'd sure like to have iCal back. Any suggestions?

Earlier this week a number of threads were posted by those of us whose iCal suddenly began crashing a few seconds after it was launched. I haven't read any posts by anyone who seems to have solved the problem. I'm still hoping someone might have some suggestions.
I'm using a G4 with OS 10.4.11 to create my calendars and syncing an iTouch using MobleMe. The MM and iTouch calendars are intact. I was able to keep iCal open long enough to create a recent backup.
I'd like to try these instructions from MadisonP which I've read in answer to several other questions about restoring iCal:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
But I have some questions:
Do I remove the entire "Caches" folder from my "Library" folder? Or should only the "com.apple.iCal" folder be deleted? There are dozens of other folders in the Caches folder from various applications.
My Home > Library > Calendars folder is empty--no Calendar Cache, Cache, or Cache 1,2,3. . . Should there be something there to remove?
I all else fails, I'd like to delete iCal and reinstall it, then use MM or my backup to restore it. But I'm not sure how to reinstall just that application. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks.

__The Caches folder is a dumping ground for temporary files used by pretty much every program on the computer. When you remove that folder and then restart your computer that folder is re-generated automatically. As you launch each program they will generate a new cache file for their use. There is no harm done by removing the entire caches folder. If you like you can selectively remove the caches pertaining to iCal, HOWEVER, there may be caches within the Caches folder not labeled "iCal" that still are used by iCal. I pull the whole folder to save guess work as it is non-distructive. That said don't go pulling the Caches for fun. They allow the various programs on the computer to run faster. After pulling Caches some programs will launch more slowly the first time. They will be back to normal on subsequent launches. Only pull the Caches folder when you are having issues...like now
My Home > Library > Calendars folder is empty--no Calendar Cache, Cache, or Cache 1,2,3. . . Should there be something there to remove?
Your running 10.4...you shouldn't have a Home > Library > Calendars folder at all as a matter of fact. In 10.4 and earlier the iCal database was stored in Home > Library > ApplicationSupport > iCal.
Not sure where that "Calendar" folder came from but it is not part of iCal if you are indeed running 10.4.11.
Check out Home > Library > ApplicationSupport > iCal. I don't recall if there was a cache file in iCal under 10.4. If there is one here you can remove it. Otherwise don't remove anything from this directory.
I all else fails, I'd like to delete iCal and reinstall it, then use MM or my backup to restore it. But I'm not sure how to reinstall just that application. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks.
Before going through the trouble of reinstalling the program make sure it is actually the program at fault. If you login as a new user on the computer, does iCal work? If so then the iCal program is fine. There is something in your user account that is causing iCal to malfunction.
Let me know if following those steps you mentioned takes care of it...or if not
Cheers.

Uninstall Tiger and reinstall tiger. What is the process?

Hello,
I would like to uninstall Tiger and reinstall it. What is the process?
Thanks,

Why do you want to uninstall it? Do you have a theory that a previous of Mac OS X works with something that it currently does not work?
Or do you want to find out if you have data that is corrupt with a specific application, and if so, which application?
Uninstalling is not easy, and usually requires you backup your data first as my FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
If you just want to test an older version of the OS, purchase and external Firewire hard drive and boot off that the older operating system, as long as it is one your Mac supports.

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

ICal and Entourage - Is it Possible?

Hey all,
So I have recently (as in today) been looking at Entourage as an alternative to Apple's Mail application. I was SOAR when I found out that the 'Sync' feature was NOT going to work properly, and here is why.
From what I understand, ICal uses different CALENDARS to differentiate between items, calendar like 'Personal,' 'Business' and 'Wife Time,' while ENTOURAGE uses ONE calendar (like Outlook) and simply categorizes it. THUS, when I SYNC them, I get all my little calendars in ICal and in MobileMe, including a calendar for ENTOURAGE.
NOW! Here is my question! IS IT POSSIBLE? - Can we EXPORT or SUBSCRIBE my 'Entourage' calendar in ICal to my OTHER calendars in ICal? If so, I WOULD have doubles of EVERYTHING, but could potentially solve the problem. I DOUBT this is likely.
Anyways, just a thought... WHEN WILL THESE DEVELOPERS GET THINGS RIGHT?! haha

I just bought e2sync (It doesn't work on Leopard, however).
The categories of the Entourage calendar are converted to calendars in iCal.
Still getting it to work at the moment...
There's a free 10 day trial.

Is it possible to transfer outlook Calendar and Contacts across to iCal and Address Book

I am a recent convert to iMac from Windows and would like to transfer my calendar and contact details to iCal and Address Book rather than manual enter them. Is this possible?

I don't have an answer for you unfortunately, however I am seeing a similar issue. I posted a thread about this specific to Outlook 14.2.1 syncing to iCal 5.0 via OS X Lion (10.7). Adding information on what platform(s) you are working on may be a help in getting this resolved and in addition you can watch the thread I posted if you are on the same OS X as me as I am having issues syncing from Outlook to iCal on all Mac devices. Good luck!

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you

Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number. If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but how do I save my book marks?

I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but I don't want to lose all of my bookmarks. The actual problem is a persona that won't stay changed. We change it, but every time we close Firefox it goes back to the Persona we changed it from when we start up Firefox again. I was just planning on uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but, like I said, I don't want to lose my bookmarks. How do I save my bookmarks in Firefox 4?

You could always remove/disable the Persona that you don't want. Go to Add-ons > Appearance, and then just disable/remove the offending Persona.
Though, if you really want to save your bookmarks:
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Which will open the Library > Look for Import and Backup > Backup...> and it will prompt to you save the file somewhere. To add them back into Firefox, go back to the library > Import and Backup again > Restore > Choose File... > and then open the file you saved earlier.

I would like colored tabs; is it possible with Firefox? And or, each new subject have a different color tab.

I am unable to use my Kaspersky antivirus web extension with the updated version of Firefox, I have uninstalled Firefox and would like the previous version

I have installed the updated version of Firefox but it has automatically disabled my Kaspersky anti virus web browsing extension. I have now uninstalled Firefox and would like the earlier version back please.

The main Protection is still active because it scan traffic product regardless.the addon are just shortcut of few things like Virtual Keyboard, Url Banner etc. But doesnot get you '''more''' protection.If your Antivirus say green and your web component is enable then all is good. You are protected. :)

this Patch will elimante the problem of compatibility between Firefox 10 and Firefox 11. Stay tuned.
