I really do not like the new Photos app. My iPhoto app is disabled in Finder. How can I go back to iPhoto?

My system just updated to OS X 10.10.3 and now Photos has replaced iPhoto. My iPhoto has been disabled in Finder. I really DO NOT like Photos. Photos are no longer organized into "Events" and my Events labels are gone. I also am not able to share photos via e-mail. I tried to update iPhoto through the App Store, but got the message that it is not available in the US. Then I got a message that said it was temporarily not available. How can I get iPhoto back?

now Photos has replaced iPhoto. My iPhoto has been disabled in Finder.
No, Photos did not replace iPhoto. It did not disable iPhoto. You updated to 10.10.3 before updating iPhoto to version that was compatible with Yosemite. That is why your older version is disabled.

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

HT1338 I installed the wrong java on my mac, how can I uninstall it?

I need java to be able to log onto my work website. For some reason it wasn't on my mac. I installed the wrong version by accident, then I installed the correct version, but now neither will work. How can I uninstall the wrong version? Whenever I try to put it in the trash it won't delete says error code 61! ugh

Good news is it didn't install & you have the latest Java for 10.5.8...
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs.
J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update.
So now we need to find where those files really are, if that was -61 then...
wrPermErr = -61, /*write permissions error*/
It sounds like they're in your pictures folder if they show up on a Screen Saver!? You cant trash thm from there.

My photoshop is now not acting right. Can I uninstall then reinstall it?

I updated my photoshop and now it freezes when I try to do several things. One is to convert to black and white in application. If it's not freezing, it's cropping the far right side of the photo off. Can I uninstall then reinstall the program?

You should be able to.

I love firefox , but this new one nothing is working on it tabs not working and i can't uninstall it , nothing is working i want to go back to the other one i had think it was 3.6.8

hi all
i down laoded ff4 yesterday now nothing is working,
tabs don't work. the mouse keep stopping, and now i can't uninstall it from the package manager, and get app firefox uninstall doesn't work how do i go back to 3.6.8

Thank you for your time and help. I FINALLY got rid of everything .Net.
It seems that when I updated other programs it was attached and took hold each time.
I'm leery of all programs now and just want to make sure there is no .Net attached. When I checked the firefox.com website it had a link to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963707) which is "How to remove the .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox" It's for "Click-Once" which I don't want... but I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't setting up for another battle with .Net.
Since I swore off Internet Explorer I have had fewer problems all around.
Thanks again! I'll let Firefox update now that I know there is no .Net hidden in the update.

AirPort really does not like 2wire...please help!

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.6 and I can't connect to the internet! When I first got my iBook (about 3 weeks ago), I could connect to the internet wirelessly no problem (well, only if it either had no WEP key, or had to put a $ infront of the WEP key), but now it doesn't work either way!
EDIT (More info): My AirPort does detect the network, and it says it's connected when I try to connect it, yet when using Safari gives me the "not connected" message. When I use the network diagnostics and go through the steps, and restart the router like it says, that doesn't work anymore. (It used to work, along with the things mentioned in the first paragraph.)
Right now I'm using the family PC (gah) and I set the 2wire router to not have a WEP key. I even downloaded and transferred the driver to connect using the ethernet cable. Nope, not working.
I know there are other threads regarding AirPort/2wire issues, but none of them help (not until now). So could someone please PLEASE help me with this? I would consider you a saviour and send you chocolates. :3
Thank you (and sorry about the last bit),
Andrew
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Orzei, I checked the 2wire site and, boy I have to tell you!, you have an old router from 2wire, they don't even sell it anymore (check here for the current models). It is 802.11b, which was the standard like 5 years ago, before the 802.11g replaced it (and it may be in the near future threathened by the 802.11n, but that's not for sure).
Anyhow, I found it on eBay and in some other sites and I'm not surprised it does not support WPA, it doesn't even support the "strongest" (use this word carefully) of WEP, but only mild immitations of wireless security.
You should definitely change it, and the easiest way would be trying to talk to your ISP, they may change (read "Update to a new one") your router for a fee. Or, if this is not possible you may want to sell it. If you ever want to sell it, you may get about 30 USD, e.g.. That plus another 20 should get you another router.
As you already know, not all routers double as an ADSL modem and wireless routers, so this should be a factor when getting one (almost all of the current 2wire routers are 802.11g and WPA capable).
Good luck on changing your router.

My Safari doesn't work properly after installing Lion. Don't like it, how can I uninstall? (Cloud not worth it)?

I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac. My Safari doesn't work properly anymore. Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall? Thanks,

Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari.

I really do not like itunes 8.0

i upgraded it and it will not switch to 8.0. when it says that it installs, it just opens up an older version of itunes.

Yes. I recommend you search the web for a site that will allow you to download previous versions. I guess it's against the Apple code of conduct, or w.e, to post the site(s) names-sorry my friend, I don't make the rules.

Having a problem with Add-ons I did not install and now can't uninstall.

Lately I have experienced problems with re-directing and other issues with Mozilla. I looked in my add-ons list and there are several things there that i did not add manually. (I have been having much trouble with ITunes and noticed a plug in in mozilla and want to know if it is necessary.) Is there a way to keep this from happening? I have been using mozilla for years and liked it when I could do a basic install without any add-ons that I did not request. Here is a list of the things that are troubling me - I am sure a few may be necessary. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this?

For camera problem try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I do not understand what you mean about your update problem

Firefox will not open, and I can't uninstall/reinstall because it says "close Firefox first"

After running Ccleaner today (and it asked me to "close Firefox or the internet cache will not be cleared", but Firefox was closed or so I think), I can't open Firefox at all; double-clicking the Firefox icon on the desktop does nothing, and no other way works. I thought of doing an uninstall/reinstall but it says "close Firefox first" - but for me it is truly closed.

See if you can Force Quit things holding CMD+Option+esc keys.

Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5. How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
I went to the "Acrobat Uninstaller.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder and double clicked it.
The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
I manually selected the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9 a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
"Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
Thank you for any help.

I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
Can you help?

Just purchased an hp all in one and I can't download software called apple and they suggested either epson or canon as hp always causes trouble to mac's can anyone suggest a good ebson or canon all in one.

I just purchased an HP All-In-One and when I went to download software it said my Mac didnt support it to contact HP. When I contacted HP they wanted me to pay to set up my computer so the machine would work. I contacted Apple and the agent told me to take it back and get either Epson or Canon as HP is not always Mac friendly can anyone suggest a good Epson or Canon All In One. Thanks for your help..this HP is going back.

You will probably value these features:
1. Decent speed
2. Reliability
3. Low cost of operation
4. Wireless usage
5. Strong printing quality
Epson withdraw support for my old printer, so I've stayed with Canon - who regularly updates its drivers. The Canon MX 892 has been getting strong reviews for print quality, speed, and special features. Refills, through a third-party vendor, can be very reasonable; so the liberal use of ink probably won't be a major concern (unless you choose to stay with the Canon-branded ink). Price is as low as $139, new, and about $100 used.

If I upgrade to mountain lion can I uninstall it if I don't like it

If I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and I don't like Mountain Lion, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and be asured that my IOS Lion will function and be ok?

You can't uninstall an OS. You can only erase and re-install the previous OS. You would also need a backup of your previous data.
