Need help removing an extension

I should like to remove an extension called Paragon Software Popup Translation 1.0. This extension does not have a remove button only an enable/disable button. I can disable the extension but I should like to remove it from the Firefox extension list without being forced to do a Reset Firefox.
I have tried to remove it manually by looking in the Profiles/Extensions directory. However, the extension is not be found there. There I only find the seven other extensions I have and that I want to keep. The Paragon Software extension is nowhere to be found. I have also looked in the Profile directory but I cannot find anything in there which looks like being connected with this extension.
Are there other places on my Mac where Firefox extensions are kept? Or do anybody know of how to get rid of pests like this.

Hello FrodeW, extensions that only have a disable button are installed by other software on your computer.
Check which software install the specific extension and disable or uninstall them from the setting of that program.
see for your mac in :
* /Library/Application Support/<vendor>/Extensions/<appid>/
or
* ~/Library/Application Support/<vendor>/Extensions/<appid>/
see for more info : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Installing_extensions?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Installing_extensions
thank you

[JS] Need Help Removing File extension (in CS2 and CS3)

Hello All.
I have a menu in a dialog that needs to list some file names, but without their file extensions (which will always be .txt in my case). The following is some code that successfully does this in CS3, but I also need it to work in CS2. Do you have any other ways to do this? One code that works in both versions (CS2 and CS3) is ideal.
myNameWithoutExtensionFunction = function( myNameWithExtention ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithExtention
myEndOfFileName = myNameWithoutExtension.lastIndexOf( "." ) // get the last period (.) in the filename
if ( myEndOfFileName > -1 ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithoutExtension.substr( 0, myEndOfFileName )
return myNameWithoutExtension
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I realized my mistake. The above code works just fine in CS2. My mistake was elsewhere. The name I was sending to this function wasn't being recognized by CS2. Once I corrected that and sent a valid name to this function it worked. So in case someone needs to remove file extensions, feel free to use the above function!

Need Help Removing Background

I need help removing a background from a picture. My boss wants some t-shirts made but the only image I have is one with a tie-dye background and I need it to just be the black and white that is on the image. I have been trying for 2 weeks to do this and I can get real close but it leaves the colors around the edges and I need this gone. Any ideas? Anyone that can help me out? I have the original photo and the one with almost everything removed if someone can help me fine tune the rest that would be great.

You've done all the hard work and are almost there!
Starting with your b/w rendition, duplicate the background layer, and shut off the visibility of the background layer. Work on background copy layer
Go to Enhance menu>convert to black and white>vivid landscape style
Open a blank layer between the background and background copy layers and fill this layer with white
Make the background copy layer active and use the eraser tool to clean up a few smudges on the background copy layer
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack, and press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E to create a stamp visible layer
With the rectangular marquee tool, make a rectangular block selection of "DRIVE-IN THEATRE" and place this on its own layer (CTRL+J). Make the blending mode multiply, then duplicate this layer 3-4 times.
For the text on the bottom, suggest that you erase this and replace the information with the type tool.

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
Hope this helped

I need help removing a malicious program form my mac!

Hello, I am 99% sure I accidentally acquired/downloaded a malicious program on my mac and I am new to macs and need help removing it!
I have growl and the other day it notified me that screen sharing, file sharing and web sharing were all turned on at once. As soon as I saw this I quickly got off of the internet and found out how to disable them.
Also, three programs kept requesting to access the internet and I denied them of course. Their names were: nmbd, netsessionmac1225fd0, and krb5kdc.
Like I said I am new to macs and need some help fixing this problem. So, if anyone has any ideas that would help a lot.
I already have screen sharing, file sharing, and web sharing turned off and now it requires a password to access (which i changed after i disabled them) but I want to ask some mac people if I need to do anything else, thanks!

By the way, a big thank you to everyone who has helped so far..
Here is the list of my running programs and keep in mind that I do have my firewall turned on as well as file sharing, screen sharing, and web sharing turned off so the suspect program may not be running?

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.

Hi, i need help removing a program

in my thinkpad x40.......The problem is my belkin wireless router keeps going off line because there is a program i was told i needed to remove by a tech support......The the program he said to remove was think vantage access connection.....There is no program called that in there.......I dont know alot about computers and i dont want to pay for this so info i thought maybe someone here could help me.......The bio says this think pad is a 2004.......I would be so grateful if someone could help me!Thank you!....Debbie

start, control panel, add or remove programs. if you have access connections, it should be listed in there and you can uninstall it from there. after it's gone, reboot, then windows "should" detect your wireless networks. if it doesn't, post back.

HT1920 I need help removing my old email address

I have a new email address and need to remove the old one can you help me with that?

Assuming that this is for your iTunes account, then on your iPad you can tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log into the account and you should be able to update your account's primary email address - or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

Need help removing adware from Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) Maverick System OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

This adware renders system useless during while using web. Cannot perform even the simplest work that requires interaction on a website. (Except Apple). I have excellent Web Service. Other iMac and 4 IOS devices are not affected, and work well.

Hello Apple community
PLEASE I need your help!
I'm having an horrible experience with my Safari 7.1.2 ( iMac OS X 10.9.5)
Bare with me, here are my symptoms, and what I did so far looking for solutions online. None of them helped
This all started SUDDENLY, today. Although i DOWNLOADED a couple of apps last week thinking i was upgrading my video app that wasn't working (I was prompted to do so but the video never ended up working!)
My symptoms:
- Ads are "glueing" themselves on my webpages... in different formats depending on the website i'm on (regular websites...)
- pages are opening ups by themselves (see picture) :
*directing to "d2bzz.resolve.sweepstakesghost.biz/?sov....." with a window saying "PC TECH SUPPORT Chat initiated. Specialist: Matt Folson Date: January 7, 2015";
To this i turned my Wifi off and then closed the page to avoid clicking on the OK button (yet now it's not asking anymore and just redirecting me without asking)
*directing to other supposedly technical support...
- SELECTED WORDS become all caps, underlined, and in light blue with a link to an ad? (see picture above)
- ALL of this are displaying a certain "Ad by PJS-4.2"
My Solutions:
1)
I searched online and DOWNLOADED
-Clamsav: found items to remove and removed them and emptied my trash ---> Dindt work (see picture)
- ADWARE Medic: found a couple of other items to delete and deleted them , emptied trash and restated computer ----> didn't work!
Still same Symptoms!
2)
I checked my extensions for Safari and only found 3 that I do use (and been using for quite a while). Just uninstalled them
Still same symptoms!
3)
I also looked for your files “Linc Davis” is referring to here in the forum but can't find any of them in my COMPUTER.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator LOGIN password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then DELETE the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
4)
I did an other search recommended by “Linc Davis”, about looking for /Library/LaunchDaemons in the Finder and I FOUND this:
com.smithmicro.schedulerdaemon.plist
com.MICROSOFT.office.licensing.helper.plist
com.surteesstudios.hddfancontroldaemon.plist
com.adobe.fpsaud.plist
com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
com.apple.aelwriter.plist
com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist
com.apple.qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com.adobe.versioncueCS3.plist
com.bombich.ccc.plist
PLEASE PLEASE HELP what can I do to GET RID OF those?!!

Need help removing partition on macbook pro

Hello
I have a macbook pro 17" OSx 10.6.6
I have a partition that i am trying to remove. When I open up boot camp assistant and click continue then click i already have downloaded the windows support software to a cd dvd or external disk it tells me that the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored toa single partition.
I am stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Luke

Have you tried to repartition the drive with Disk Utility to add a third partition or to remove the Boot Camp partition?
I would repair the hard drive to see if that helps:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

HELP some non working keys on keyboard HP G60-519WM laptop..might need help removing keys?

I have had this laptop for a couple years now and I haven't had any problems with the keyboard, keys or their connection with my laptop. I have never spilt anything on it or been aggressive with the keyboard either. Tha essential problem is that now my T,Y,P,K,M keys and the CTRL and PAGE keys (to the right of space bar) no longer work after cleaning my computer. There might be more but I haven't been able to tell what the Fn button and some function buttons fully do.
How it all began:
Two weeks ago I noticed that the fan on my computer kept running and the computer would get warmer quite easily and take longer to cool down. It also started lagging or loading things slower than it should.
So I went onto HP's site and found their information on cleaning fans and vents and the information I saw in it mentioned all the problems my computer had. So I decided to follow their directions on how to clean the fan, vents and keyboard. I noticed alot of dust and small hairs from my dogs and small lint balls..more debri then I thought would be in my laptop.Nothing huge or that I would see as damaging but it definitley needed a cleaning.
So I let the computer sit for a while and then I turned it on and that is when I noticed some of the keys no longer worked. I decided to see if the device was installed properly and the computer said it was working fine, so I figured it might be debri stuck under the keys.
I followed the directions on how to turn off the computer and I got a small tool and a light to look under the keys and remove what I could see.. I did that with all of the keys, not just the ones that stopped working. I was surprised I was able to get alot of stuff out from under the keys. BUT the same keys still didnt work.
So far at this point I have used the on screen keyboard and an external keyboad (what I am using to write this) and thos keys work fine. I have checked the BIOS and the same keys didn't work (on the bios black screen). I tried to check the device and for updates or any errors and I didn't see any problems. I attampted to uninstall my keyboard which initially said it was a 101/102 keyboard and then when i restarted to finalize the process..the device registered in its place was now called a standard keyboard and the computer didnt ask me to reinstall the one i uninstalled.initially. So I don't know if that was a successful way of doing that or not.
Sorry for my novel but I just want to make sure anyone who can help knows what I have been doing. My questions now are;
A. did I do the bios test right?
B. did i uninstall my keyboard right? if so then why would a different keyboard already be on as a device without me doing anything? if i didn't please help me on how to..
C. I feel like there is debri trapped under these kes, is there anyway to remove each key to clean and inspect? if so how, because I haven't been able to find out any useful information about that process on this computer/keyboard?
D. is there any thing else I could do besides removing the keyboard and replacing it?
PLEASSE HELP ME?? THANK YOU!

you did not push the clips all the way in to secure the ribbon cable for the keyboard. the clips push a little further than you think if you do it right you can tug on the cable and can't pull it out.

Need help removing hard drive from Time Machine exclusion list

I have a 1TB Western Digital Essential hard drive with about 500Gb of music, movies and other assorted data tethered directly to my iMac. I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that serves as my wireless router and connects to my iMac over the wireless network. I'm trying to use the Time Capsule as the ultimate backup device, to backup the data on my iMac and the tethered 1TB Western Digital hard drive via Time Machine. It already backs up all the data on my iMac, but unfortunately, Time Machine places the 1TB Western Digital hard drive in the exclusion list (which I understand is normal), but will not let me click the minus sign to remove the drive from the exclusion list (which is where I'm at a loss). Someone please help me find a way around this as I've been unable to find a way to remove the Western Digital drive from the exclusion list and have Time Capsule access its data. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

gotham,
Forgive me, but are you highlighting the drive in the list before you click the "-" button?
Also, were is the external drive? Connected to your Mac or the TC. If the TC, then Time Machine won't backup the external drive. It needs to be connected to the Mac directly.
Otherwise, you can delete the TM .plist.
*Delete The Time Machine Preference .plist*
Go to --> Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences (Note: NOT Home / Library / Preferences).
Drag the .plist file labeled,
com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
to the root level of your Macs’ hard drive.
Reboot your computer.
This .plist file is automatically recreated at startup if it is missing.
You will need to reselect your Time Capsule in the TM Prefs for backup.
Now try 'removing' the other drive form the exclusion list.
Let us know if this helped resolve your issue.
Cheers!

Help - Newbie Mac user needs help removing malware in Safari

I've tried researching this but I haven't found exact steps on how to get rid of different website popping up in my Safari browser. I'm a little gun shy with deleting files, etc on the Mac so I hope you can help me fix this. Or better yet, is there software that will fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
