I need to remove ALL trace of iPod & iTunes to upgrade to latest iTunes?

Attempting to upgrade to the latest iTunes, from the one I've been running that I hadn't upgraded for some years.
The message comes back that an auto update isn't possible and that I must remove the old version in it's entirety prior to trying again.
So I followed the instructions on the website here and have removed everything from my c/programs directory.
However there is still an iPod for Windows 2005, an iPod software updater and iTunes itself showing in the Add/Remove programs area of the Control Panel, and when I try to remove these nothing happens. These entries don't even have any info associated with them in terms of file size, but I can't get rid of them.
I have also removed Quicktime.
At my wits end, it seems this stuff is embedded in my PC somewhere and now I have no iTunes and can't download the latest version.
Please help if you have any input, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks, DJ.

This depends on how you have the ipod set to update. You can change the way it updates by going to edit>preferences>iPOd tab
By default the ipod is set to "Auto update ALL". If you goto the ipod tab and check "Only update checked songs" Only songs with a check mark beside them will be updated to the iPod. If you uncheck a song, the next time you update the ipod the song is removed.
You can also goto the iPod tab and set it to "AUto update SELECT" with this option only songs in the playlist you pick are updated. this is very helpful for people with a nano or a library thats larger than there ipod can hold.
"Manual update" is where you manually add songs and delete them off the ipod. This option is usually helpful to people who want to control everything on there ipod or frequently connect there ipod to more than one PC.
You can also go there the sub tabs on the iPod tab and set each to different things, Like leave the ipod to "Auto update ALL" but goto the podcast tab and set it to manual update or the video tab...just whatever you want or need to do

How do i remove all traces of a print driver

I need to remove all traces of my print driver for my canon printer.
I loaded my canon iP pixma 4000R with a print driver i downloaded. It seems to be a japanese version as the paper standards are all a bit strange. No 4x6 option, instead, something called Hagaki that does not quite fit. Canon says to reinstall the driver from the US website.
When I try to, it always asks me if I want to "upgrade". If I say yes, then I end up with the same print options. I think I need to fully delete and install the driver from new.
I delete the printer from printer list. I've been going through library files, but I don't know what else to delete.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Tony

I would try Printer Setup Repair from Fixamac software. I believe version 5.0.3 is for Tiger. I am sure this program can do the job for you!

Can't Login to SharePoint as an invited External User / Can't Remove All Traces of External User with Microsoft Account

Hi TechNet,
I have an MS SharePoint Online (SharePoint Plan 2) team site, quite simple, one document library etc.
I have successfully added all users (E3) within the organisation to groups, and permissioned correctly.
I have added myself (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3) as an External User, and have access to the website without any problems by authenticating with my Organization account e-mail address.
I have a single user (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3), who's setup is identical to mine (Also Office 365 E3).
However, when this user is added as an External User, they are unable to login, and get "Sign In is not complete":
That didn't work
We're sorry, but [email protected] can't be found in the CLIENT1.sharepoint.com directory. Please try again later, while we try to automatically fix this for you.
Correlation ID: dc1f7f9c-092b-20b8-7b35-89348ba22f71
Date and Time: 3/20/2014 7:06:55 AM
URL: https://CLIENT1.sharepoint.com/
User: [email protected]
Issue Type: Partner User Invalid.
I then remove the user using the Site Collection, and using the PRofile Manager, and using Remove-SPOUser, and using Remove-SPOExternalUser. Which is great, he's gone. However when I go to add him back to a group, as soon as I type his e-mail address, it
'Resolves' into his full name! If I have completely(?) removed him form the site, how is he being resolved? And therefore me trying to remove him to re-add him to try and solve the user/directory/auth issue is not working.
Furthermore, upon clicking on said client's username inside SharePoint (after I've 'added him back' of course), his ID, in format: i:0#.f|membership|live.com#[email protected] has an entirely different e-mail address, his Microsoft Account!
I'm assuming he must have been already signed into his Microsoft Account when he clicked on the External User e-mail invite? If so, I clearly do not want this, how can I remove lal traces of his Microsoft Account, given that I have gone to the lengths as
detailed above?
I have already completed these steps: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/228263/709905.aspx
Some possible further reading regarding Microsoft ID's and Organization ID's:

Please let me know if you need any more information regarding this issue, and thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this situation for me and anyone whom encounters it in the future.
Regards,
Evanly.

Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond to my issue.
Certainly, it makes sense that regardless of where the invitation it sent, the user would authenticate with their Microsoft ID.
In my case, I want the user to authenticate using their Microsoft Organisation ID, that they use for their seperate Office 365 account.
This is the way I was able to log in, and worked great. With my client, they are unable to access Sharepoint because once they sign in with their Microsoft Organisation / Office 365 ID, they are told they are not in the directory, because their Microsoft
ID is in the directory and it doesn't match up.
I am simultaneously trying to 1) Remove all traces of this users Microsoft ID, which so far using the above steps, has been unsuccessful; and 2) Invite the user using his Microsoft Organisation ID, and have him authenticate with that (which is proved to
work, as my account uses this).
Looking forward to any more suggestions. Thanks in advance!

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Second-hand MacBook - How to completely remove all traces of previous owner (inc. Apple ID) & start as clean as possible, while retaining factory software?

Hey guys,
New to the forum and after a bit of advice.
Have just picked up my first MacBook from a friend and am wanting to start as clean/close to factory as possible, removing all traces of their Apple ID and Account info.
Have read a few posts and it seems that my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) came pre-installed with Snow Leopard (10.6.3/10.6.4).
In Linc Davis post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5350317
he says that "If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple."
My friend is adamant that he received no software with the purchase from new. Everything came pre-loaded.
So I've downloaded OS X Mavericks and created a bootable USB installer. If I do a clean install using this method, will that remove all traces of the previous owner (Apple ID and account info), allowing me to start as clean as possible while still giving me access to the original pre-loaded software that came with the MacBook from new? Once installed, can I then just add my own Apple ID and perform any updates to this software as normal?
Since I don't think it shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, I will be unable to boot into Internet Recovery to try and restore if necessary, before upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks for any help. Hopefully it's not as complicated as it sounds!

Yes and Yes
OK, so I'd still have access to iPhoto etc., even though all purchases would still be linked with friends Apple ID?
I don't quite understand how this works..
If I do a clean install, and my new Apple ID has no history behind it, how does it know what software was paid for/pre-installed if that account is no longer tied to this computer?

Can a Mac with OS X 10.4 remove all traces of prior ownership?

I inadvertently posted this earlier to the OS X 10.5 Leopard board. Got a solution for 10.5, but alas this machine is an oldie and will only handle OS X 10.4. Read on ...
I have a many-years-old 600 MHz PowerPC G3 iMac (Snow White) that I'm planning to sell or donate. Is there documentation anywhere on how to wipe all traces of my ownership? I've done a clean reinstall of Mac OS X v. 10.4.1, upgraded to 10.4.11, so there's no remaining documents or settings, but the install required me to enter registration information, e-mail address, etc.
How can I hand off a fully configured Mac that can be customized by the new owner to his/her specifications and that leaves no personal data behind? i.e. is just as it comes from the factory.
Thanks.

If you have wiped the drive, (zero-overwritten & reformatted) then go and
install a new system, +quit the Installer prior to the personalization+ section;
then there is no need to 'deauthorize this computer' from iTunes store.
In fact, the only reference to the computer would be, as you mentioned,
in the other records to the owned computers listed as 'authorized' in the
iTunes store itself. Of course, you covered that in a way; but the actual
computer without any online records within it, which has been wiped,
would not be able to reconnect to the iTunes store & the former account.
If the computer had been totally restored from a fully erased hard disk
drive with a new installation of the prospective OS X version, and then
the computer minimally personalized to the point where further OS X
updates to the 10.4 system were done, so it has 10.4.11, all Java update,
last QuickTime, last Security Update, recent browser(s), Flash/Shockwave;
and maybe a copy of OnyX by Titanium Software; etc.
Then, there's a way to have the computer re-run the Setup, so the first install-
user account wiped out; and a new first-run on restart Setup will commence
when the new owner gets the computer home and starts it up.
Except, the computer would already have all available updates installed;
yet would be non-personalized and act like a new computer on first start.
This information, using Terminal or other super-user access, has been
noted and detailed elsewhere in the Apple Support Discussions. And this
is what I was referring to in an earlier post; it removes all traces of prior
ownership and does allow the new owner to not have to figure out how
to go through and update the recent the OS X on an old OS. For some
new users of Mac OS X, they are too lost to even get into this process.
Anyway, hopefully you've found satisfactory results in the paths available
to prepare the computer for a second owner, so their experience is as
good as it can be without any uncharacteristic issues for a new owner.
Good luck & happy computing!

Remove all traces of Wiki

Hi all
I'm trying to remove the Wiki from our new server, OSX Server 10.5.5.
I thought I had removed all traces, but when accessing the url http://www.myserver.com/wikihelp/en.lproj/search/ I still get a page - which is stopping the security software (run by our IT department) from passing my server to enable it to go live to the outside world.
Can anyone enlighten me as to where I should be looking to stop this service?
Thanks

Hello, Welcome to Discussions.
There is no manual way to do it without it having something else not remove properly.
You will want to use the Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all Apple Software. List below of what is typically installed but may not be exactly what you have. Also a link on how to find all of our hidden files and folders. You can see weather or not this is something that would be along the lines of how you want to remove Apple software without affecting drivers.
Uninstall the following Apple Software in the following order to help reduce reboots
-Apple Mobile Device Support
-Apple Software Update
-Bonjour
-Windows iPod Updater (Name might be different but look for anything with the word iPod)
-MobileME Control Panel
-Quicktime
-iTunes
*Now reboot the computer

Help: XMLTYPE need to remove all blankspaces "between nodes"

Hello,
In a table containing a XMLTYPE column, we've got indented XML.
For each row in this XMLTYPE column, we would need to remove all the numerous blankspaces located in between all ">" and "<"
Basically, we would like the XML to be without its indentation.
Is REGEXP_REPLACE the best way to do it ?
How can we do it ?
Thanks for your help,
Olivier

Maybe XMLSERIALIZE might help

Completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended

I have recently installed Photoshop CS3 Extended but there was a problem with the serial number on the box. Adobe have issued me a new serial number to use. I uninstalled it all but when i reinstalled it, the original serial number is still there. How do i completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended from my computer so that i can reinstall it with my new serial number? This is a full retail version used on a Windows XP system. Many thanks.

don't forget to read the instructions! :)
on that page you'll find this note:
>Start out at Level 2 and advance to Level 3 only if you still have issues installing your CS3 applications. Running this script removes shared components created during the installation of CS3 applications.
>Note: Level 3 is a hidden option and thus is not listed in the main interface. To access Level 3 just type "3"( without quotes) when prompted for the level.

How to Completely remove all traces of an applicat...

Please i own a nokia E5 and there is this application named '2go' (.jar app) its kinda like an IM client. When i install it to my phone memory, it works... but aways gets stuck at the part where it loads my friends. But when i install it to my memory card, it works great the first time i open it. Then after i'm done using it, i close it.. Also takes long to close, so i just use the Red button... And when i ty to open it the second time, i get an application error. Please help me on a way to totally remove all traces of this app on my phone and memory card. Thank you!

You should be able to remove it as you would other applications: highlight the icon and press Options -> Remove. Another way would be to find the program in Control Panel -> Application Manager -> Installed Apps and remove it from there. My understanding is that Symbian Platform Security is very good at removing all parts of a program, unlike Windows uninstalls, for example. If it won't uninstall, post the details of what happened.

What sort of transaction ?
If it's an auto-renewing subscription that is due then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If it's a pre-order that is being released then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
If it's something that you've already 'paid for' then purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel/refund it : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
