Delete/Remove unwanted scanners in "Image Acquire"

If you have the Mustek ScanExpress USB 1200 Pro - then you probably have installede the "Image Acquire"-software...and in that case - maybe it annoyes you that there is other scanners in the drop-down-menu for choosing scanner...
It can be a bit hard to find where to uninstall the redundant scanners...
But go to Harddisk>Library (NOT the library in user)>Image Capture>TWAIN Data Sources...then thats where they are hiding! It can be a bit difficult to tell who’s who - but delete one, start up Image Acquire a see which one is gone...put it back if it was the one you needed and delete the rest....

Removing an unwanted part of a foto

Hi there,
i recently took a photo for a launch event and to the foregroung of the shot is a symbol that was marked out on the ground.
The question i have is how does one remove this unwanted part of the photo using Aperture 3? Is it possible?
Cheers
Rob

You can remove elements of photos that are undesirable, but there are limitations.
Aperture has both a 'repair' and 'clone' tool -- but the tool is mostly intended to remove items which are either small or thin. It's mostly used to remove things such as blemishes and wrinkles. But I've also used it to remove power lines (in outdoor photos) and power cords (in indoor photos), etc.
It doesn't work well for removal of very large items. E.g. if I had a picture with a large tree in it, I'd probably have a very hard time making the whole tree disappear -- on the other hand, removing a stray limb would probably be easy.
See Apple's tutorial page here: http://www.apple.com/aperture/how-to/#video-quickbrushes

Removing unwanted from string

I am trying to remove unwanted from a string. For example:
String is "boy the movie part 2 (2009)". from this string i wanted to remove "(2009)" only, so my string can be looked like as "boy the movie part 2".
Please provide me logic to do this.
Thanks,
Amol

Just substring minus the last six characters and to not have to make any assumptions about whitespace being present in the result, a trim() is added for the fun of it.
This is absolutely not fail proof, but it does what you ask.@OP: Most likely this is not what you really want. However, as gimbal2 points out, it does what you ask. The lesson is, you need to be clear and precise in expressing your requirements. To drive the point home, here is some more code that does what you asked for, but probably not what you really want it do do.
if (str.equals("boy the movie part 2 (2009)") {
str = "boy the movie part 2";

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. Help!

I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. I have somehow got green underline in text ads, pop up ads that come in from the sides of the screen and ads that pop up selling similar products all over the page wherever I go. Its getting worse and I have researched and researched to no avail. I am really hestitant to download any software to remove whatever it is that is causing this problem. I have removed and reinstalled chrome. I have cleared Chrome and Safari cookies. Checked extensions, there are none to remove. I need to find an answer on how to get rid of these ads. Help please!

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
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/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Remove adjustment from multiple images?

I have multiple images where I used Sharpen instead of Edge Sharpen. I know I can Lift & Stamp the Edge Sharpen adjustment to multiple images but I can't seem to find a way to remove the Sharpen adjustment from all of them first. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks

I can add the other keyword using your techniqe, but how do I get rid of the wrong keyword without interfering with the other keywords I have already set for the images?
Keywords are metadata, not adjustments.
If you want to add or remove keywords to multiple images, without interfering with the keywords that are already set, I'd suggest to configurekeyword sets and to use the keyword controls:
For example, after designing a keyword set"Himmel" (sky) I can add or remove one of the keywords for all selected images by simply pressing a button in the keywords panel or using a key combination: for example ⌥6 to add the keyword "Halo" to all images, ⇧⌥6 to remove it from all currently selected images.
But the question is, how to remove one adjustment from multiple images, and that seems to be behaving buggy in Aperture 3.4.1, at least on my system: If I try to add an adjustment to (or remove from) multiple images, only the primary selection will be modified - and yes "Primary only is disabled ).
For example: Trying to add "Sepia Tone" to four images: I see the same on two MBPs and on my iMac with Aperture 3.4.1.

Changing fill colour for partly transparent images

Does anyone know how to change the fill colour used for partly transparent images? I have a bunch of PNGs that I made for use as clip art, which I imported into iPhoto (that way I can use the media browser with Pages and Keynote).
Unfortunately, the images (which are black) are shown on top of a black rectangle both in iPhoto and the media browser. I've tried changing the background colour to both gray and black, but the 'fill' colour stays black.

There's no way to change it if you want to keep the transparency for use in other applications or web pages.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

I want to purchase Apature, but In the advertising blurb I dont see how to remove unwanted objects from a photo. I know it can be done in Adobe Elements, but I would rather Apature.

I want to purchase Apature, but in the advertising blurb I dont see hoe to remove unwanted oblectsfrom a photo. I know it can be done in Adobe but I would rather have Apature.

What DiploStrat said.
To expand a little bit: Aperture allows you to assign a graphics program (such as PSE) as an "external editor". In general, you use Aperture to organize your photos, to develop them (make them as good as possible for each use), and to publish them (create share-able files). Your external editor is used when you want to create a new graphics file, which is what happens in all "destructive pixel editing".
Aperture provides tools to remove sensor spots from skies (and like operations), but for removing people and billboards you'll want a proper compositor, a/k/a a graphics program.

Removing unwanted characters..

Hey guys,
I'm back for help again. Unfortunately my brain isn't creative enough, so please help! :-)
Ok, I need to remove unwanted characters from a file...the problem is that the characters look like this:
in any text editor. I'm using JEdit, and it's ISO-8859-1 encoding. The text was initally from a html file, and i think that most of the html is displayed well as text in JEdit. But these squares, which are bits of info that I don't need, are making it a little trick to do my extraction.
Ex: the word I want to extract is "trouble". But in the file, it looks like this:
troble....
Anyone know how to get rid of all that stuff???
Thanks in advance.
...DJVege...

you could try to set a filter on the characters you accept. Process each character and only accept those that fall into some ASCII boundary. If you accept ASCII characters that have values between 33-255, most blocks should be eliminated.
Something like this should help:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
     protected static final int MIN_ASCII = 33;
     protected static final int MAX_ASCII = 255;
     public Example(String file) throws IOException {
          BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file)));
          PrintStream p = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(file+"_fix.txt"));
          String s = "";
          int j;
          while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
               for (j = 0;j < s.length();j++) {
                    if (valid(s.charAt(j))) {
                         p.print(s.charAt(j));
               p.println();
          b.close();
          p.close();
     protected boolean valid(char c) {
          int asc = (int)c;
          // allow for tabs and spaces
          if (asc == 9 || asc == 32) {
               return true;
          return (asc >= MIN_ASCII && asc <= MAX_ASCII);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          if (args.length > 0) {
               try {
                    new Example(args[0]);
               catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
}useage: java Example <file>
of course, something like this will probably only work on "english" files as I dont have an understanding on how foreign characters are encoded..
if this doesnt solve your problem, you might want to adjust the range to 33-127, which will eliminate all "block" characters and all "special formatted" characters (i.e. accented characters, currency signs, etc.)
see http://asciitable.com/ for more information on ASCII characters
