Remove old symantec antivirus from lion

Help. I was running an old version of Symantec Antivirus (10.2.3) and upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now Symantec Antivirus will not run and will not uninstall, with the error message that I get when I try to uninstall being that PowerPC progs are no longer supported. I've already installed a newer antivirus prob, but now I need help to clean up Symantec.

Follow the instructions here > Uninstalling Norton AntiVirus | Macworld
Norton software is very invasive and difficult to uninstall all the associated files. If you still have probllems after following the instructions from the link above, reformat the drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
When you get a chance, you may want to read the results of an Apple Support Community search for Norton / Symantec > Community Search: Apple Support Communities
If you really want to install a/v software on your Mac, download ClamXav from the App Store. It's free.
As noted here ClamXav is Mountain Lion compatible.

  • How to remove old backup files from time machine? Lion OSx

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering how to efficiently and safely remove the old backup files from time machine? I tried once with command, but it damaged my extra-disk... Does Lion OSx have fixed that?
    Many thanks
    Hong

    Blue-
    Time Machine will automatically delete back-ups as the need for space arises. If you want to delete a certain file (application, document, whatever) and have it gone for good you can do that as well.
    The best place on the web for information about Time Machine is...

    Hey best99,
    Thanks for the question. After you change your Apple ID, you’ll want to follow these directions for updating the iCloud account on iOS devices:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT4859 How do I remove old unwanted applications from my app store tracking?  I removed from the phone, but still showing and reinstalling from the App Store screen.

    I'm trying to remove old apps off my phone, and they keep showing up.  How do I get rid of them?

    Itunes > view (menu bar) > show side bar > under library select apps > all apps list either active & deleted on your device will be displayed in tile view > then you start to delete by right clicking> finally empty recycle bin >

  • How do I remove old image buttons from Properties panel?

    Hi,
    I have been working out how to use Image Buttons in Captivate 6 and have created loads which now appear in the Properties Panel.
    How do I remove unused image buttons from the Properties Panel?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    When you look at the Properties panel, you see ALL available images for the buttons. (Assuming that you are referring to to the stock images supplied by Captivate)
    Is this the list you are trying to clear?
    If so, it's the same list you see with any project Captivate creates.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can you remove Old Backup files from Time Machine sooner?

    So I'm aware that the default settings state that Time Machine will start to delete old backup files from your saved destination once that destination starts to approach full storage capacity. But what if you are not looking to fill up most of your storage capacity with Time Machine backups? Is there a way where you can cut the delete threshold in half and have Time Machine delete old backup files sooner rather than later?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

  • In 10.6, I could remove old YM users from my archive. In 10.7 and 10.8 I cannot find a YM user log. How do I remove yahoo messenger users from my archive?

    In OS 10.6, I could locate the log for my yahoo messenger in the Library under Application Support/Logs/_________________ and delete messages AND users from my archive. With OS 10.7 and OS 10.8, I am only able to delete conversations one at a time and unable to delete old users at all.  I am also unable to find out where new conversations are stored. Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    It is likely they're still stored in the same location.  However, in Lion and above, Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
    To find it, hold down the option key and select the "Go" menu item, and Library will appear as an option in that list.  You can then select it and from there navigate to Application Support/Logs/XXX to delete stuff.

    Just don't use them. They take up very little room. If they are in your dock then just remove them.

  • Removing old exchange servers from AD with ADSIEdit

    Hello all,
    I know this has been discussed MANY times but I wanted to know if the only place these are stored is under CN:Server under Microsoft Exchange? I know this isn't the recommended way but I need to get these removed so I can re-use the old names.

    CN=configuration,DC=.example,DC=.COM > CN=Services > CN=Microsoft Exchange > CN=Organization > CN= Administrative Groups > CN=(Groupname) > CN=Servers >
    Looks to be correct.
    This is where you would the sevrers, but try add/remove programs first, if a uninstall has failed or hasnt move the object then delete from here.Sukh

  • Cant remove old IDE drive from G4 Mac!!!

    Guys, if any of you MAC experts can help me out with this, I'd appreciate it.
    I'm having a really wierd problem:
    I completely rebuilt an AGP Graphics G4 Mac.
    I installed a Tempo SATA card, a SATA drive and an external firewire drive (also SATA, but connected via the firewire port).
    So......once I had all the drives up and running, I used "SuperDuper" to clone the original, 30 gig IDE drive (the boot drive) to the External Firewire drive. No problem.
    In "System Preferences", I set the G4 to boot up from the External Firewire drive. Shut down and restarted.
    The G4 seemed to boot fine off the External Firewire drive. To check, I pulled up "about this Mac" and it said "startup drive...external" Also, the external drive now appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
    BUT!! When I opened the case and removed the old IDE drive, and restarted, the G4 will not boot!!!
    It seems to need the old IDE drive connected even tho its booting off the External Firewire drive!!!
    Does anyone have ANY idea whats going on here? I really need to remove the IDE drive because its old and its gonna crap out at some point. I have to be able to boot with it out of the machine.
    Do you think its still ooting off the old IDE drive even tho the system is telling me its booting off the external drive?
    help!
    thanks,
    Retro

    There may be a need to use a keyboard command for the computer to boot off an external
    FireWire enclosed hard disk drive when there is an unsuitable or no internal IDE PATA drive
    in the computer's case; one that forces the computer to search for a suitable boot volume
    on startup. This issue may force you into further troubleshooting the computer hardware.
    Perhaps the clone used in the external has some permissions issues and relies on the
    presence of the original drive for validation? Some clones need to have those kinds of
    permissions turned off or set to be off when the clone is made.
    With a new replacement hard disk drive in the original internal drive location, a clone of
    the external could be made into that new drive; and be sure the conditions of the clone
    process are correct before you wipe any original disk content, so you can go back for
    another clone should some error in the process require you to reference the first, again.
    There is an ATA controller card in computers which may have something to do with how
    multi-disk drive computers see and use additional internal items on the same bus, but
    this should not affect the FireWire external's bootability, if it was natively capable of it.
    On the face of it, this sounds like an odd issue. Replacing the aging old drive with one
    capable of running the computer, from its original location, is probably a first step.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Remove Old Name Servers from reverse lookup zones in DNS- PowerShell

    Hello Scripting Guys,
    I'm a long-time fan. Please let me know if I have included enough information for you to provide some guidance. Thank
    you!
    Here is what I am attempting to do:
    import a .csv file which contains
    zoneName,hostname,RecordType
    and then delete the name server entries from the reverse lookup zones.
    Why:
    There are hundreds of zones and 80+ name servers in each for a total of about 25,000 records to be removed. I
    have the list of zones and the list of name servers which I want to remove from the zones.
    Environment:
    I am running PowerShell as a Domain Admin with access to DNS. Zones allow secure updates only (if that matters here).
    I am running it from a Server 2012 R2 server with the DNS admin tools installed against Server 2008 R2 DNS servers. Current AD functional level Windows Server 2003. All DC are DNS server and GC's.
    What I have tried:
    The following
    works to return all the Name Server records in a zone:
    .csv file format
    zoneName,hostname,RecordType
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
    Script\Command:
    Import-Module DnsServer
    $PDCE = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -Service PrimaryDC
    import-csv c:\temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {
    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -computerName $PDCE
    -Node
    OutPut to screen:
    HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
    @ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver1.contoso.com
    @ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver2.contoso.com
    However, replacing the business line (in green above after foreach) with the remove command (in red below)
    does not work to delete the specific record listed in the .csv, even though it follows the
    pattern from MS TechNet:
    Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.hostname -computerName
    $PDCE
    Error:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1
    Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord : Failed to get nameserver1.contoso.com. record in
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa zone on PDCE server.
    At C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1:4 char:1
    + Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.name ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (PDCE:root/Microsoft/...rResourceRecord) [Remove-
    DnsServerResourceRecord], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 9714,Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord​
    When I remove the use of the .csv and put the names of the zone and server in the command, I get the same results.
    Fail.
    It's as if the record does not exist, but I can browse to it in the GUI. I found
    this about Missing Glue records, but it does not seem to apply to reverse lookup NS records. I'm thinking that I need to first load each zone into an assembly and then do the removal,
    but I'm not sure how to do that in PowerShell. I tried piping the get command for the zone to the remove command, but that did not work or I did not have the correct syntax.
    I have attempted to use DNSCMD to do the same and that command appears to work, but then fails to actually remove
    the record.
    Here is an example of that command:
    import-csv C:\Temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {dnscmd.exe "DNSServer.contoso.com" /Recorddelete $_.ZoneName
    $_.hostname $_.recordType /f}
    Output:
    Deleted Ns record(s) at 1.112.170.in-addr.arpa
    Command completed successfully. [But not really, the NS record is still there]
    I have researched several sites including the suggest one here, but this does not fit my requirement.

    ; formerly AOS.ARL.ARMY.MIL
    . 3600000 NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NE
    Notice that each is a pair.
    One is the NS and the secon is the A record.
    .                        3600000      NS    G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
    G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.      3600000      A     192.112.36.4
    In this case the dot represents the self reference to the A record.  These are the records that bootstrap all of the Internet.  Remove them and you ae lost.
    The CSV uses the @ to anchor the local domain.  Perhaps the DNS CmdLets prefer the dot.  The @ is what appears on the screen when we use the GUI. Note the dot at the end of the FQDN.  It is required.  Even browser use
    it but they add it if you forget.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?

    I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?

    The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.
