New iMac user.... how do you delete a downloaded program

I downloaded Firefox for my computer because i couldn't get my financial software from Ameritrade to work on safari. However, their tech support helped me get it working with Safari and so I want to delete FireFox.
I don't know how. I'm not sure if it came with its own uninstaller... and if it did I don't know how to find it... (no start button to find the program).
Also I have a downloads folder... it has some spreadsheets for excel in it I no longer need, how do I delete them? (I tried dragging them to the trash but that didn't work)
Thanks!!
Susan

Historically I've used spotlight to find any related files(preferences, etc). They can be deleted from there.
If you try it make sure to look at the search criteria and include system files.
The new spotlight is quite a bit different and I'm not sure it's not very straight forward.
There are a couple of third party apps that are supposed to monitor and "uninstall".
Never used on though.

It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

How do you delete a download in progress?

I recently "bought" the premier episode of Mr. Sunshine. It has taken forever to download and I keep stopping it. I no longer want this - how do I delete it forever? I can't seem to make it go away completely.
thanks!

TS1424 How do you delete a download once it's started?

Hello,
I'm new to the forum... I have downloaded a movie to rent & watched it, I'm trying to delete but can't? Help!
Thanks

Hello Chege1982,
Thank you for asking your question. It sounds like you would like to have deleted the video that was rented after it was watched. According to this article:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
Can I delete a rented movie before the expiration date?
You can delete the movie prior to the expiration date if you want to make more space on your hard drive, iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.
This article outlines how to delete media from your iTunes library on both computers, and iOS devices if you need it for future reference.

How do you delete audiobooks downloaded from Overdrive from the library from my Ipod Nano when I can't find any of the titles under Music in iTunes?

I've been uploading audiobooks from Overdrive and now that I'm done listening to them I want to delete them. After I hook my Ipod 7th gen up to the comp, it pulls up iTunes and I go to Music but I can't find any of the book titles there. They all show up in my songs group on my iPod. I've been manually managing the songs so I don't get all my husbands stuff on there. I've cruised through the other sections and tried searching the library without any luck. Any advice???

HT1343 How do you delete mistakes you put on a new imac when setting it up ?

How do you delete mistakes you put on a new imac when setting it up ?

pretty vague question.
But i'l assume you went through setup assistant and made errors.
Ignore, proceed, then go back and fix them in the appropriate control panel or application. Requires a bit more knowledge fo the system or searching around.
Make life easier and tell us context, error, etc.

New iMac user, can you use a fan to cool the back?

Hi everone,
I'm a new iMac user, a new mac user full stop. I recently was given one for college because I'm dyslexic so I recived one to help with college work. I'm a P.C girl mostly so i'm very new to this system, but we do use these at college thou I avoided them like the plauge because I just didn't know how to use them.
ANYWAYS....I noticed that the back get's very hot, my desk is by the window of my room because it gets a little hot in my room at time's and I know my P.C would heat but so the window it was.
i was wondering if used an external fan behind the mac might help with the temp, nothing big just a small fan for the back of the computer like the one's you use in an office but allot smaller? is this a good idea or not?
thank you for takeing the time to read my post, I did read the other about hot mac's but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.

Just be sure it's fixed low enough to be aimed upwards. That way it won't prevent the hot air escaping from the upper exhaust by blowing it back in. It will be blowing dust around too, so keep the area as dust free as possible. Whether I need to run this fan depends on the intenal temps and how hot the back feels. But can aid considerably in cooling. Get iStat Pro.
