Programs won't uninstall

I have several application which won't uninstall including Lets Golf 2 and NFS shift which were loaded with my Samsung Stratosphere. Can any tell how to get rid of this application which do not delete from the menu Setting then Application then Manage Application then select App then Uninstall? They also can be dragged in to the trash and still again do not delete.

go to Manage Apps
press on App you want to disable
you'll then see the details for that app, with options to Force stop, Disable, Clear data, etc.
choose Disable
your disabled apps will appear at the bottom of your app list, should you want to re-enable them

Programs Won't Uninstall With Group Policy

Thanks for the constant Adobe Flash updates, I'm constantly uninstalling one version, then installing the new version of Flash. I use a separate GPO for each version.
Occasionally, a version doesn't uninstall. I'll remove computers from the Security group tied to the GPO and / or remove the policy from the GPO.
But the program's "stuck" if you run rsop.msc and remains as an installed program. This "stuck mode" seems to block the installation of any other program via Group Policy. Even if you uninstalled it manually, it'd still show up
in rsop.msc
So far, my only recourse has been to remove the computer from the domain and re-add it.
I'm looking for a less tedious method. Anyone know a way to force an uninstall and clear it out so it doesn't appear when you run rsop.msc.
Thanks!

Hi,
Before going further, for group policy software installation, to remove a published or assigned package, we can choose to click
Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers to uninstall deployed software when removing the package.
Regarding this point, we can refer to
Remove a package section in the following article.
How to use Group Policy to remotely install software in Windows Server 2008 and in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102#method5
However, we can also utilize group policy to upgrade installed software based on previous deployed package, and we can choose to uninstall the existing package before installing
the upgrade package.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Upgrade an application
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc783421(v=ws.10).aspx
For we had removed the package, but the software didn’t get uninstalled, as a result, can we try redeploying the package, and then when we remove the redeployed package, we can
choose to immediately uninstall the software?

IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
        (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
        photos.
4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5.     Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
        Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
        report.
6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

Itunes won't uninstall so can reinstall

everytime i try to upgrade itunes i run into a different problem. this time my old itunes won't uninstall so the new one can install. and now i can't even open the old itunes or uninstall it myself. i'm pretty dumb when it comes to computers so if you could dumb it down when you answer this it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

when i try to install itunes 7.1.1 the following message comes up:
'the feature you are tryting to use is on a netwotk resource that is unavaliable
Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path a a folder containing the insallation package 'Itunes.msi' in the box below'
with that one, try the following procedure (mariza, this is probably worth a try with your one too):
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Program won't launch on Mac for one user but will for another

We just installed a new program (that is Java based) that we are about to start using in our office. It is the WorkFlows client from SirsiDynix. It works fine on my MAC but 2 other users in our office have MACs and it won't launch. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. We created another user on one of the computers and installed the program and it launches fine. Both users are Administrators. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still no luck. We have ran the Repair Permissions utility on the HD. Is there a tool or software that we can use to compare permissions or settings of the 2 users to find out why the program won't run under one of them?
We have Mac Mini OS X version 10.9.5
Thanks for any help you can give.

Adobe 9.3.4 won't uninstall-network unavailable-need msi file

My OS is XP. I've used Adobe Reader for years. It was working just fine until about a month ago. When I attempt to print from Primopdf, I can get the screen that says "Create PDF"--once I click on it nothing happens. That happened a time or two before. When I uninstalled & reinstalled the Primopdf program it took care of the problem. (I can still create pdf files from scanned documents.)
Next I uninstalled the Adobe Reader program, and installed the updated version, Adobe Reader 9.3.4. That still didn't work. Now Adobe Reader 9.3.4 won't uninstall. I get a message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resouce that is unavailable." I've checked in my 'Program files' to see if Adobe reader is there--I find a 90.3 MB Reader folder, (with several folders & files) indicating it does exist. Though I see an AcroRd32.exe that shows its a 9.3.3.177 file. (So evidently I don't have the upgrade, but the previous version, right?)
After the 'network unavailable' message appears, a prompt gives an option enter an alternate path to: AdbeRdr930.en.us.msi file. If I had that file, would that solve my problem? I've read complex instructions, and not sure how to obtain that file. Is there some way I can obtain & download that file?
I've run registry cleaner programs, the Advanced SystemCare Diagnositic program, etc. I've read about forced program deletions--though not sure about that? I downloaded the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility--then it said was for Window 95/98--couldn't find for XP.
OK computer gurus--what should I do, short of reinstalling my OS? This is like 'gum on shoes' and it's really annoying.
Thanks for some recommendations to hurdle this problem.

Check the version of AcroRd32.dll - that should show you the 9.3.4 version.

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html) works on all Windows versions; you should be able to remove your current Reader with it.

Trying to install Cs2 but old indesign won't uninstall or repair?

Trying to install the "new" posted on adobe, Cs2. Win vista for business. 1st step- add/remove programs. old indesign won't uninstall or repair! Get " was interrupted - try again" "can't find xxxxx file in dat 1 cabinet" ???
Searched forums for hours now! Help please!

Just went back through my start menu, and it CS, not CS2 that would not install under any condition on Windows 7. CS2 is running in the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine. XP mode is a free feature of Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate, and does not install on Vista.
That said, you can download and install Windows Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/virtual-pc-2007.aspx) which is a virtualization environment, and you can install Windows XP as a virtual machine from a set of XP disks.
There are people (and you seem to be one) who have successfully, more or less, gotten CS2 to install on Vista. I never ran Vista, so I'm shooting in the dark here a bit, but I would make the following recommendations for trying to get the programs installed:
First, run MSconfig and turn off all the unnecessary startup programs like Anti-virus and spyware scanners, third party firewalls, instant messengers, iTunes, browser helpers and toolbars, etc, and also go to the Services tab, hide all Microsoft services, and you can probably turn off just about everything that is left (lots of antivirus stuff runs as a service, for example). Re-boot into an adminsitrator account, cancel MSConfig when it reopens, and find the downloaded installer. If you have not already run the .exe file to extract the installer, do that next.
Once the installer is extracted, find the Setup.exe file, and right click it. In Windows 7 I have an entry to Troubleshoot Compatibility, and hopefully you have something similar. Choosing that gives me two options, Use Recommended Settings, which might work, but there's no indication of what they might be, or Troubleshoot Program. Choosing that should bring up another dialog where hopefully you can see a checkbox that says the program used to work in an earlier version, which you should check, and clear any others, then press next, which should bring up a list of previous versions where you can select Windows XP.
From there it should run the setup program in XP comaptibility mode, and once installed you should be able to set the program itself to also run in XP compatibility mode.
When the installation is complete you can run MSConfig again and click the Normal Startup radio button and reboot.

Error message/Won't uninstall iTunes

Hi,
Whenever I plug-in my iPod the the USB connector my iTunes displays a message, "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." But when I try to uninstall that iTunes, the ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS won't let me. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks

hi Lauryn!
I do get the iPod service error you were talking about. Any ideas?
hmmmm. there's a toonz treatment that has been fixing a lot of these for 5.0.x:
toonz, "iTunes 5.01: Rending iPods useless Worldwide" #2, 12:01pm Oct 4, 2005 CDT
but toonz is also advising people that this issue has been fixed in itunes 6. so i think those are probably the two best options.

Quicktime won't uninstall? -3 error SOLUTION

So i encountered this really annoying all throughout yesterday, and figure people might be going throught the same thing. While trying to update itunes, the quicktime bundle wouldnt install, and in the end led to a -3 error. So i tried to delete quicktime, but the uninstall didnt work. Its not that i cared, but i only wanted my music, which wouldnt open. I did what alot of people did, trying to go into regedit.exe, but im no computer wiz, and non of that worked. so finally, i did this, and this deffinetly solved my problem.
download the windows install cleaner, then find quicktime to remove, and then redownload the standalone version of quicktime.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1b d/msicuu2.exe
(this is the file link from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 , if it doesnt work, go directly there)
then
www.quicktime.com (i searched standalone)
hope this helps people.

It's telling me I have an old version of Quicktime, and won't uninstall it; saying it can't find wherever it's saved.
Is it saying it can't find the QuickTime.msi file, kylvel?
If so, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another itunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

NoScript won't uninstall / isn't listed as an Extension and getting angry about it, try this, it worked for me

Your reviews of the standard articles by forum junkies that just shoot out links of more engineering pages like this one are resulting in slamming the mouse, pounding the
keyboard and cussing aloud that even your cat probably won't be emerging for a few days, articles such as these that might already be highlited visited and open using Internet
Explorer or Chrome since you're pondering uninstalling firefox.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Uninstalling+add-ons
I'll quickly glean for a moment why you won't uninstall it without difficulty before I explain how to just turn it off but you'll still keep it sort of like dermatological
shingles, you've already had the outbreak and as long as you don't do something risky to reawken, you won't see it again.
You can't remove it from the extensions likely because it was "embedded" in your particular FF install. I'm careful to avoid definitive statements since nothing is definitive in
a 20 year old buggy operating system of Windows and the hoops that decent software like firefox has to jump through just to protect us on MS Windows. This hole NoScript
nightmare might be happening to you on something else like a MaC or anything, it doesn't matter cause my fix is the same, there might be other methods and I hope others
constructively contribute.
Whenever I post this question and discovery elsewhere like Stack or DevGuru, it always gets invaded by the followers, the engineers who almost cultishly question why would
anyone remove or disable NoScript, how dare would anyone do such a thing. These people are missing the point, it has nothing to do with the quality, it has to do with ownership
and they can dismissively write us off to being hacked, whatever, that is our decision to do so regardless of the "elegance of NoScript", the reasons we choose to stop using it
ARE OUR OWN REASONS AND NUNYA BUSINESS.
A FIX:
By now you've probably learned the "about:config" option in FF, in your address bar enter:
about:config
If you don't have the address bar and just use shortcuts, use your Windows kyboard and press Ctrl and the "L" key for which should hopefully start an address bar unless
NoScript disabled it or demands confirmation 1
Press the enter key on your keyboard, or the go, whatever you normally do to press forward to your web site, NoScript might prevent you from opening the config like the HAL9000 stopping Dave Bowman from deactivating him. Just press forward and advise NoScript you wanna keep going.
Scroll down or find
noscript.autoAllow
Notice if it is set True or 1, change it to 0 or False.
Have to restart FF to affect the change, if this solved your version of the problem, please reutrn to say as much, vote it up with an up click, if it didn't work, share as much as you're willing to before you get fed up and slam your fist through the monitor or this computer out of the window of a moving car.
NoScript isn't evil, the author is revered and he creates and maintains it for free, you might be having a hard time removing it because it was embedded with your FireFox install. Somewhere you or someone else decided you needed a specialized version of fireFox such as the ToR version for anonymous web browsing from site operators, maybe someone did it and only told you in passing and you forgot, coulda been they didn't understand what they were installing and failed to adequately explain it.
At this moment, you're feeling proprietary and want more control of your browsing experience.
I know a few ways to uninstall it but it requires software recompiling which is like genetic rengineering if you don't already know software development and you should probably avoid trying to learn it since it obviously ain't your profession. You don't try to learn dentistry just to drill your own cavity.
You can do other things to save your settings and uninstall / reinstall a new version of FF, there are other ways to uninstall NoScript or kneecap it, and we're intereeted in hearing how.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
