Is there a wise uninstaller program for iMac Sow Leopard

I have some programs on my Mac that I don't want to use any more and I want to uninstall them. I know I can uninstall them by dragging them to the Trash from the Applications folder, but I want to make sure that all of the related files and folders that go with those programs are also removed from my Mac.
I don't want to have to spend ages searching through my hard-drive or using Terminal commands (actually I am not that good in the Terminal) and so I was wondering if there is a program that acts like a wise uninstaller or something. Something that will search for all of the files and folders that relate to the programs I am uninstalling and delete them along with the program itself.
I really hope someone can help me
Huge Thanks
Jay

There are several of them, but they're not needed.
If the program doesn't use an installer and didn't ask for an admin password to install something when first started, it didn't put anything anywhere that will cause any problems and the files are so small as to not matter.
If it does use an installer, it may have added things to login items, LaunchAgents, or LaunchDaemons, or StartupItems. Those are all in your user Library or the main HD/Library except Login Items which is in the Accounts System prefs.
The rest is just detritus. Hunt it down and collect it all if you want to waste your time.
Now if it is some form of hardware that requires an extension to operate, it better have come with an uninstaller.
Please, help out the cause. If you install a program with an installer and it didn't come with an uninstaller, send a note to the developer. They know where they put stuff, so they should provide a way to remove it.

  • Uninstaller program for Air application

    We have an Adobe AIR desktop application and would like to
    build an uninstaller program for this
    that works on all platforms supported by AIR.
    Note that currently on a PC running Windows XP, the only way
    to uninstall is to go
    to the control panel and remove the application. We'd like to
    provide our own uninstaller
    program to the user thats bundled with the Adobe AIR desktop
    application.

    Since you have an AIR engineer on the case, I won't be so
    presumptuous as to think I have the best answer, but the nice thing
    about AIR apps is if you run the install again, and click on More
    Options, you have the option to uninstall. I think it's a pretty
    smart solution personally (after years of dealing with
    InstallShield and Wise).

  • Is there An anti-virus program for a Mac Book Pro

    Is there an ant-virus program for a Mac Book Pro?

    YES, there is. It is built into Mac OS X. All you need to do to use it is keep Mac OS X up-to-date.
    This built-in Anti-Virus works better and is far less obtrusive than any third-party stuff you can add on. Most of the third-party anti-Virus add-ons are JUNK.
    But Viruses, while they cannot be ignored, are actually quite rare on the Mac. If you have a flashy anti-Virus scan that reminds you it is there by slowing down your Mac and visibly scanning things, you can lull yourself into thinking you are protected, but you are NOT!
    A much more serious problem is malware, and most malware requires you to help (or at least be complicit) to get onto your Mac. Nothing can replace your constant Vigilance. They ARE out to get you, and steal your financial data, and take over your Mac.
    Don't click on ANY links sent to you in emails.
    Don't visit Torrent sites, and don't download software from third-party sites.
    Don't download "players" from the same site that is providing the content.
    No one can tell whether your Mac is infected with anything from outside your Mac. This is ALWAYS a scam.
    You have not won a contest you did not enter. You should never have to pay to collect your prize.

  • Is there a google voice search for imac like for iphone?

    is there a google voice search for imac like there is for iphone?

    Yea, I think this is a difficult situation.  I am trying to really understand the advanced actions she (the person whose project I took over) created, but I cannot find the elements that are mentioned within them.  For example, one part of her advanced action is Show Text_Caption_1762, and this text caption is definitely not on the same slide.  It might not even be in the project anymore. Who knows.  But it would be nice is there was a search box, and I could type in "text_caption_1762", and it could tell me on what slide this was located, if it is still in the project somewhere.

  • Is there a trade up program for ipad?

    I really want an ipad2 but dont want to take a beating on my ipad 1. Any way to trade up through apple?

    Actually, they don't give 10% for recycling; at least not in any country I know of. The 10% recycling credit only applies to iPods, and toward the purchase of another iPod. That program doesn't apply to iPads at any Apple Store I know about. The only program for the iPad is, as I mentioned, the program through the third-party company:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/reuse_and_recycle
    If that program isn't available in your country, then to the best of my knowledge an independent sale will be your only option unless there's a local dealer that takes trade-ins.
    Regars.

  • Is there a Video eMail program for the eMac?

    I have an external video camera hooked up to my eMac and would like to use it for Video Emails. On the PC's there are several free programs, including iGoogle and MS Messenger that allow this. Yet when I try to use them on the eMac, they state they aren't compatible with PowerPC chips, only Intel-based MACs. I've searched the internet for "Free Video Email for MAC" but failed to find anything that would work on the eMac. Several would work only with iSight, which I don't have.

    (1) Perhaps you mean video chat or conference rather than video email? I no longer use a PC, but I could not see how either iGoogle or MS Messenger offers Video Email.
    If you really want to send video email, all you need an OS X app that can capture a video clip. You can attach those saved clips to your email. If this is what you want to do, you likely already have an app that can capture video if your camera is compatible with your eMac.
    However, if you do not already know which app you want to use to capture your video clips, take a look at this page for some candidate apps you can consider:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    If you already have Apple's iMovie, QuickTime Pro, or Photo Booth, any of them can capture video for emailing provided that your camera is compatible with the app and Mac OS you are using. Other apps in the linked list might be compatible with your cameras, so, if your camera is not supported with the software you have, you may want to take a look at the system requirements and compatibility info for some of the other apps that can capture movie/video clips.
    (2) If your external video camera is either Firewire or a "UVC" device, and, if your eMac 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 is one of those listed in this page
      http://support.apple.com/kb/SP44
    your camera should work with your Mac OS X (10.5.8) without need for any driver software.
    (3) If you cannot make the desired applications work with your camera, and, if your camera is one of those listed as a "should work" in
      http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php
    the macam driver you can download from the links there may let you use your camera with your existing system.
    (4) If your camera is not compatible with both the version of OS X and the applications you use, you may want to consider a different camera. For more info see:
      http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    (5) If I have misunderstood, when you post back, please give the specifics of which camera you want to use and what app you want to use with your video camera.

  • Need genealogy program for imac intel

    I need genealogy program for new imac intel. My old program was for Apple G II S. Have viewed program called heredis mac x.2 but don't know if it is compatible for imac intel. All new territory for me. Thank you, Lisa

    Though I don't have an Intel Mac, I use both Heredis and Reunion. You could check with each company about Intel compatibility.
    I keep my file in both because the FH represents the greatest investment of time for anything on the computer. I want always to have a usable file so dont put all my eggs in one basket.
    Reunion is a bit more versatile inrespect of the fundamental structures but Heredis uses a different basic construction which I wanted as a reserve. Heredis is about £20 less expensive here in UK than Reunion.
    One specific thing about Heredis is that it stores the actual data file or files as documents in the user documents folder. You need to realise what these things are in said folder and not delete them by accident.
    The down side of using two different programmes is that of synchronisation. If you add new data in one app you need to add it manually in the other. I would never trust it to GEDCOM transfer to transfer all fields correctly especially if you have data in the more esoteric fields of any particular programme.
    Heredis has an ability to display a 3d tree showing all, I repeat all the relationships including the families of removed cousins etc rather like a complex organic molecule. It is zoomable and you can get text data displayed from any person box, any 'atom' ,to pursue the analogy. It has source and repository features just as good as the more expensive Reunion. It may be ruled out for some though. It has no tab to indicate the 'disposal' of a family member as being "abducted by aliens', whereas Reunion has!

  • Is there a microsoft excel equivilant program for imac?

    All I want is a simple spreadsheet similar to microsoft's excel program.  I'm a new mac user and cannot find anything like that on my computer.  (I can't even find a word program to type a document!)  Do I have to buy a separate app just for this?
    Appreciate any help!!

    Yes it's called Numbers, part of the iWork suite. You can buy it on the Mac App Store and also find information about it right here.
    BTW did you know about MS Office for Mac? If you need 100% compatibility between some PC users that use Excel this might be the best solution for you. You can find it at www.microsoft.com/mac

    On my old PC I used Groupmail to send out mass e-mails. Since I've recently switched to an iMac, I want to find a similar mass email program that I can use on my iMac. (There is no Groupmail for Mac.) Any suggestions?
