I deleted Quicktime X from my iMac

I have been experiencing problems with movies in iTunes. So, I had a genius idea to delete QUICKTIME X and reinstall it from Apple's website. Shortly after deleting it, I found that I could not download it (only Quicktime 7 is available).
Other sites have told me to download a program called PACIFIST and try to extract QUICKTIME X from my Snow Leopard boot disk, however, that does not appear to work either. For some reason, Quicktime 7 is the main media player on my Snow Leopard DVD.
If I bring my iMac to an Apple Store, can someone there assist me?
Can anyone post a link so I can just download Quicktime X? PLEASE HELP!

Take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2149401?threadID=2149401&tstart=50

I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back?

Did you just remove it from the dock?
If so, then it is still in your applications folder.
If it is really deleted, then you need to get it back from your time machine back up if you have one or or from a OS install disk if you have one.

I want to turn off Documents and Data iCloud syncing (in Sys Prefs on iMac) but it insists on deleting all docs from my iMac! HELP!

I don't want to sync my 'Documents and Data' with iCloud any more (iMac, iPhone and iPad). When I go into iCloud in System Prefs and try to uncheck the Documents and Data box it tells me 'all docments stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac'. Really need to keep all my docs and quite shocked that iCloud would even consider deleting them from my iMac. Does anyone know any way round this other than backing everything up and restoring it after it's been deleted? Thanks!

Hi doodlebuglondon. I understood you throughout the thread as I have the same situation. I turned it on, then decided immediately to turn it back off. It then gives you the scary warning, assuming you understand under what circumstances documents got stored in the iCloud. Like you, I had no idea. But I did see 5 GB of 5GB available on iCloud Storage, which was a hint. So I opened a folder with some Pages documents, turned off Documents & Data, clicked the big scary "Delete from Mac" button. If it had really deleted my iWorks documents, like you, I would have had to restore perhaps 40 or 50 disparate folders. Whew!
Did it work out OK for you? I note you were very clear in pointing out you hadn't actively put anything in iCloud, but who knows whether Apple magically puts stuff in iCloud for you. I couldn't find that explained anywhere in Apple's "instructions", but I'm sure it's buried in there somewhere.

How do I delete an App from my IMAC?

I want to delete some app's that are no longer relevent, e.g. US Open Golf Tournament. I deleted them from my IPAD but can't figure out how to delete from my IMAC. Delete key doesn't do it and there is no "move to trash" option. Help doesn't cover it.

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, 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:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

Help with deleting EFTFile1.sparseimage from my iMac

Hello guys! I need real hands-on practical help here, please.
I have already asked for help in here but didn't manage to get clear step by step help. Only got confusing redirection to other posts and very technical advice which really confuses me.
First of all, I have an iMac8,1 with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Memory 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and before the problem occured I had about 260-270 GB of free space out of about 320 GB.
I have discovered that my recycling bin contained a folder Recovered Files with a file EFTFile1.sparseimage. I only noticed it when I tried to Secure Empty the Trash after running the tool Secure Delete Free Space from Internet Cleanup by SmithMicro (I don't know if this might be the cause of the problem).
When I got to deleting stuff from the Trush I noticed it was taking too long, so I decided to transfer the various files out of the trush and delete them individually. When I reached the EFTFile1.sparseimage I discovered this was about 261 GB in size - when I tried opening it, it said the following:
The following disk images couldn't be opened. Reason: corrupt image
After reading some online forums, I now understand that by deleting this sparseimage file I should be able to recover the free space. Some people suggested to use Terminal. Their instructions have been very confusing and also when I attempted once in Terminal, before submitting anything, a warning said I might loose important files.
Then someone suggested to write in Terminal the following:
hdiutil compact followed by the path of the sparseimage file, i.e. path/sparseimagefilename
After performing this the following message appeared: compact failed - corrupt image
I want to stress, this EFTFile1.sparseimage isn't something I created (some forums have mentioned the possibility that some people may have done that for other purposes). The file appeared on my mac by itself. I guess, after using the SmithMicro free space delete?!
If anyone has the patience and knows of a real solution for this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers guys!

Hello jsd2!
Your tip worked wonders! Thank you a million for suggesting the use of Trash It!
Hurray!
PS -
From now on I will try using Disk Utility when deleting and be more careful when erasing free space, ensuring the process isn't interrupted.
Just in reply to noondaywitch, the reason I used Internet Cleanup from SmithMicro is simply because when I bought it a) I didn't know the full purpose of Disk Utility, b) when I was in the Apple shop they had Internet Cleanup on their shelf, so I assumed it was a good product to use - afterall, you assume that the products you see in their shops are endorsed by Apple, therefore good to use. Don't you think?

How do you delete an application from an iMac?

How do you delete a program from a Mac?

Which program are you asking about. Some apps do not delete via the trash, though as Axeman suggests, it's your first choice.
Incidentally, it is wise never to install an app or program that you haven't got uninstall details for.

Deleting itunes content from my imac

My IMac was full mostly from my Itunes library. I moved the contents from my Mac to a WDC drive. How do I delete the content still on my Mac without deleting it from my WDC drive?

Sorry but I can't play that link with my computer. If that link tells you to move your library by changing preferences then that link isn't really telling you how to move your whole library, and is titled incorrectly. Your library is more than just media files, and media's all you moved to the external. Yes, you could just delete those from your internal drive but don't delete the other critical library files or you really will break your iTunes collection.

Again, make a backup of your computer first. If you don't have a backup of all your files (those on the external too) in at least two locations then worry about losing files in this situation is only a starter. You could start your computer tomorrow and find it is all gone, 100%.

My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac. It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me. However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility). I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied. I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?

the new backup drive
I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder. I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:
Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time.

Any other ideas?

How do I back up my itunes library from my iMac to iCloud?

I want to be able to access my iTunes library on my iMac from my iPhone while away from my home network. I don't want to fill my iPhone with the file as it is so big. Can I move my whole iTunes library to iCloud and then access it from both my iMac and my iPhone through the internet? If I do this, can I delete the library from my iMac as it is slowing it down because of its size?

I use the iTunes Match feature which you subscribe $24.99 / year. Works flawlessly! I can upload up to 25.000 songs there to be streamed or downloaded to all of your devices. Mac/iPhone/iPod or iPad. This way you can free storage on the devices. Great quality on the matched songs too. If you sometime in the future should buy a new Apple device, just log in with your account and your music collection is there for you to enjoy! Home or away, the only thing needed is an decent WiFi connection to use all the above.

Accidentally deleted Quicktime and it wont install again

Hi, I accidentally deleted Quicktime X from my computer and emptied the trash. When I went to install Quicktime again from Apple, it says it wont let me. In the Install window is says, "Quicktime cant be installed on this disk. This version Quicktime 7 cant be installed on this disk because Quicktime X is already present. Please use Software update to install the appropriate version of Quicktime for your Mac."

Use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.
