Program not completely removed

I have removed ArcanaStartUpSound from Settings, because the version I could find is not supported by OS 10.9.5. However, whenever I start up the Mac, after some time, I'm told the program couldn't be started properly, so I'm suspecting it hasn't been removed completely. How can I make sure it is, as it is slowing down the boot time of the Mac. Also, how do I disable iCloud, so it doesn't start up automatically each time I start the Mac?
I'm a PC user myself, so I'm just trying to help out my girlfriend with her Mac, so any detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated, bearing in mind that how to get to various areas is not completely obvious to me :-)

Follow the developer's instructions for uninstallings. For some you can just drag the app form the Applications folder to the Trash. For other yo have t use the uninstaller provided by the developer.
Yu may have to reinstall the apps and then use the uninstaller.
Go to Settings>iCloud and sing out.

Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user

Hello.
I have Exchange 2010SP3 2 DAG member in cluster.
Recently i have warning in app log on a second DAG member:
Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user GUID.Encountered error 0xfffffae8. Should this message continue to persist for the same mailbox, it may be indicative of a problem that requires further investigation.
I read all post wich say just unmount and mount database.
I can't find any user wich have guid containted in error.
So that i need to do?
Can i use StartDAGmaintenance and reboot a server,then after reboot use StopDAGmaintenance?

Hi,
I suggest to refer to this blog to find this mailbox by GUID.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2010/04/22/how-to-find-the-object-that-belongs-to-a-guid.aspx
Then check which database this mailbox belongs to, dismount and mount this database.
Best Regards.

Time Machine does not completely remove old Backups

Hi all,
since the upgrade to SL it seem that Time Machine has problems to completely remove old backups completely. The "removed" backups do not show up in Time Machine anymore, but the backup folders and part of their contents can still be seen in Finder.
The number of expired backups not removed is growing. I know one should not fiddle around with backups in Finder or Terminal - but the system does not allow me to remove any of the files/folders anyway.
Here is part of the log:
Found partially deleted backup - trying again to delete: 2009-08-06-211832
Error -47 deleting backup: /Volumes/Drobo/Backups.backupdb/MacBook Pro HGA/2009-08-06-211832
Deleted backup /Volumes/Drobo/Backups.backupdb/MacBook Pro HGA/2009-08-06-211832: 1.75 TB now available
Post-back up thinning complete: 5 expired backups removed
Backup completed successfully.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for helping
Heinz

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That happens occasionally, in both Leopard and Snow Leopard, sometimes after something was deleted from the Finder, but also after an abnormal shutdown or improper disconnection of the TM disk.
Run a +*Repair Disk+* on it via Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder. If it finds errors, but can't fix them all, run it again (and again) until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

Uninstalled Facebook App not completely removed

I was recently having issues with the Facebook application so I tried to remove i so that I could just reinstall it. I performed the usual act of removing by tapping the "x" on the Facebook icon and it appeared that the app had been removed. But when I tried to install the app from the App it says its already install. There is also a tab in settings for the Facebook app but it is blank. Has anyone encountered this issue? If so, is there a remedy? Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. Last night I accidentally removed my Facebook app, and when I go into iTunes to reinstall it says Installed. The problem that I have is that when I can't get into iTuens after upgrading to 9, it crashes, so I can't even get to it in iTunes to try/ Is there any other workaround for this issue so that I can re-add the app?

Deleting mail account does not completely remove all of its data from iPhone

Hi
I'm using iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.3. I used a number of email accounts on the built-in Mail app and recently deleted one Gmail account. I thought that all its data will be removed from the iPhone, however, when I used the Spotlight Search, I found that the iPhone still retains some of the account's draft email. So I tried to add back the account to the Mail then delete it once again, but the draft email is still there, although these draft emails no longer exist in the actual Gmail account. I tried resending them but only ended up with sent mail that also refuses to get deleted (still found them on Spotlight) after deleting the Gmail account. Is there any way to remove these useless mail to free up space?

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Deleted User not Completely Removed

When I delete a user from my mac and later create a new user with the same name, OS X will ask me to recreate an existing user. The new user will have a reduced set of folders in it's account, objects that were on the desktop will be recreated too.
I have to delete the user first, then delete the admin user's cache files, log out, then log in again, bevore this effect is gone.
Anybody else seen this strange behaviour? I'd call it a bug...

Thank you for your hint.
The key point of this "execise" is to recreate a user that has exactly the same name...
One possibility could be to create a new user with a different name and rename the full name field accordingly.
I'll try this later and report back.

How do i completely remove uninstalled apps because they are still taking up my data?

I have uninstalled lots of apps but they are not completely removed from my phone's database and they are still taking up my memory, i was just wondering how do you completley uninstall and remove them?

Did you already try to sync again with your PC? If your data is part of the "Other" section on your phone, you'll have to restore your device to get that space back.

Cannot open files ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error

I can inly open 3 files and then I get this error message ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error
Please help, I am in the middle or a project ...
Thank you,
Linda

There is likely a font on that system that's corrupted or for some reason Photoshop just can't deal with. Fonts are complex things, and it's well known that bad fonts can crash applications.
Ferreting out such a font is normally a matter of removing all but the default fonts, seeing that the problem is corrected, then adding the fonts back in systematically until the offender is isolated. Yes, this can be tedious.
If it's not a font problem, there's a possibility it's a display driver problem. To help diagnose that, go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop. If the problem goes away, you'll want to check the web site of the maker of the video card for driver updates. Don't forget to re-enable OpenGL Drawing again after updating the driver.
Good luck.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --). This happens on the main screen immediately. Once I click OK the program seems to be alright. But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now. I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect. I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run. It hangs up on Reading Memory.
Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools. Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences. Preferences are created for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop and there are no preferences for the user ID.

Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
What is causing it?
I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
Thanks!

Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened? Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
Thanks!
PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.

Does Save As-work?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Photoshop CS4 - getting error message that states: Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting this message when

Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting error message every time I open the program and try to do anything. Have to Force Quit to close. Using a Mac. Your expertise is appreciated!!

Have you tried removing all 3rd party plug-ins?
Also, resetting preferences to defaults may help... Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Errors thrown when opening files: "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I have a user on our network that recently had Photoshop CS5 reinstalled. Now when she opens .psd files she is notified to "Update the text layers" on the document. If you press "Update" the error "could not complete your request because of a program error" is thrown. If she clicks "no" then she can't properly edit the text layers on the files. I have reset her preferences files and run the font test script with no luck on either.

Could not complete your request because of a program error after text layers prompt

For the past 4 months I have been receiving a message saying "Some text layers might need ot be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" In the past I simply click update and go on with my business but now I am receiving a an error message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." If I click no on the update it loads the PSD file but then if I try to edit anything on the PSD file I receive the same error. I have done the following troubleshooting:
1. reinstalled photoshop
2. repaired mac permissions
3. deleted preferences settings in photoshop
I did create a generic photoshop file and saved it and loaded it with text and everything but with no error. But I did not receive the text layers update prompt either. This works fine, so I basically can say that I narrowed it down to the specific file or something in the file. But also I have tried 10+ different PSD files that prompt for the text layer updates and all receive the same error now.
Any thoughts?

You have a bad font on the system and it knocks out the text engine. Remove it.

Photoshop cs3 "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I have PS cs3 on powerpc mac ox 10.5.8, and have been using it for 3 years
or so perfectly. I started getting the "could not complete your request
because of a program error" when I was trying to open an ai eps (like I've
done before about 1000 times). Now, every time I open any file, I get this
error.
I removed everything PS cs3 from my computer (with the install disk) and
clean installed the program (after just throwing out the prefs, settings,
rebooting w/command/option, etc.). and now, same thing.
I called adobe support, and he said to go online, so here I am - wits end.
1. why do you think this happened initially and still (seems to be related
to fonts or the type tool because of error right away when I click that)?
2. what can I look for other than the prefs/settings that could be causing
it?
3. how do I fix it?
thanks for your help,
dan ([email protected])

Thanks, but I found that this worked in another post below:
I think it was a font issue, so I cleaned out some otf and ITC TT fonts (from Classic era)
and Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder - think this is the key!
restarted PS and it's working now!
thanks!
Happy Macing

Re: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
FWIW, I just fixed this problem (I think) with the following:
Quit PS
Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the /Library/Fonts/ folder
Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the ~/Library/Fonts/ folder
Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder
Restarted PS
