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

Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open. how do I get rid of the ball. Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
Launch iPhoto and try again.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Aperature crashes/force quit every time I open it

Aperature crashes/force quit every time I open it since the first time I installed it - Can anyone assist with troubleshooting this?

My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out on my MBP even with 8 GB RAM. Personally I recommend simply upgrading to 16 GB RAM immediately. The limited RAM may or may not be the direct cause of your SBBOD but it is very likey that your MBP is paging out, and paging out is very slow which often does cause problematic operation.
If you want to evaluate whether or not you currently have adequate RAM on board:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they are often misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs.
If your test showed that page outs increased during operation you can
• add RAM, very strongly recommended
• and/or simply try to run Aperture by itself after restarting, a workaround
• Restart before Aperture work sessions to clear possible memory leaks
Personally IMO maxxing out RAM to 16 GB from OWC or Crucial is a no-brainer at today's prices. More and more, app and OS designers are (rightfully) designing to take advantage of lots of RAM.
At 60% full your HDD is not overfilled but HDDs slow as they fill so IMO you should replace it with a larger drive SSD/HDD when it gets ~70% full. Also you may want to consider moving to a Referenced-Masters workflow with the Masters on external drives to keep your internal drive from overfilling.

Need a VB-Script that read a txt-file and only the lines that are new since last time

Hi,
I need help to write a VB script that read all new lines since the last time.
For example: The script reads the textfile at specific time, then 10 minutes later the script read the file again, and it should now only read the lines that are new since last time. Anyone that has such a script in your scriptingbox?
cheers!

Based on the excellent idea by Pegasus, where is a VBScript solution. I use a separate file to save the last line count read from the file, then each time the file is read I update the line count. Only lines after the last count are output by the program:
Option Explicit
Dim strFile, objFSO, objFile, strCountFile, objCountFile, strLine, lngCount, lngLine
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
Const OpenAsASCII = 0
Const CreateIfNotExist = True
' Specify input file to be read.
strFile = "c:\Scripts\Example.log"
' Specify file with most recent line count.
strCountFile = "c:\Scripts\Count.txt"
' Open the input file for reading.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, ForReading)
' Check if the line count file exists.
If (objFSO.FileExists(strCountFile) = False) Then
    ' Initial count is 0, so all lines are read.
    lngCount = 0
Else
    ' Open the line count file.
    Set objCountFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strCountFile, ForReading)
    ' Read the most recent line count.
    Do Until objCountFile.AtEndOfStream
        lngCount = CLng(objCountFile.ReadLine)
    Loop
End If
' Read the input file.
lngLine = 0
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
    ' Count lines.
    lngLine = lngLine + 1
    strLine = objFile.ReadLine
    If (lngLine >= lngCount) Then
        ' Output the line.
        Wscript.Echo strLine
    End If
Loop
' Close all files.
objFile.Close
If (lngCount > 0) Then
    objCountFile.Close
End If
' Ignore last line of the file if it is blank.
If (strLine = "") Then
    lngLine = lngLine - 1
End If
' Save the new line count.
Set objCountFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strCountFile, _
    ForWriting, CreateIfNotExist, OpenAsASCII)
objCountFile.WriteLine CStr(lngLine + 1)
objCountFile.Close

I have to force quit EVERY TIME I try to exit the application & my ADDONS are missing from my tool bars

I have upgraded to version 4. It's great because it's fast. BUT after about two weeks it refuses to quit. I have to force quit EVERY TIME! AND....my addon toolbars existed for the same amount of time and then POOF - gone. They still live in the addon "section" but I can't use them from a toolbar anymore.
Please FIX IT. I am very frustrated!
I have tried clearing my history and it still doesn't work.

Installed Lion, change wallpaper, "desktop & screensaver" freeze, force quit, then "system preferences" freeze and need force quit every time

After Lion install, tried to change wallpaper in "system preferences"->"desktop & screensaver" appeared but immediatly freeze, so force quit.
Then System preference pane as it immediatly freezes if I try to open it. Have to "force quit" each time.
Found many people have the exact issue and highly likely it's the bug of lion.
Anybody found a solution? Thx.

It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.

The model 2,1 MacBook has an easily removable battery. You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Or for $129 from The Apple Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Removing the battery:
Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
Turn the computer over.
Locate the battery latch on one side of the battery.
Use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn clockwise. The battery should pop up slightly.
Lift the battery out.
Installing the battery:
Place the right side of the battery into the battery compartment at an angle, as shown below.
Gently press the left side of the battery down until it sits flat.
While holding the battery down, use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. The battery should lock into place.
Note: Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer.

That's too cold.
Apple designed this diagram of ideal temperature for the Iphone:
Everything below 32ºF/0ºC is too cold and the device's battery is not going to work as espected.

Last time I bought "Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary". But since I update my phones to iOS6, I noticed the "OALD" was no more in my phone nor my families' iPhones or iPad and even not in my purchased list it just show me S$ 38.98. Can you advise me?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck
