Uninstall 10.4.8 nightmare = how-to

I am tired of 10% max of my Apple software working after 10.4.8 joke on my Mac mini espc. Front Row.
Solution = Redneck Apple fix =
Search your hd of your apple for 10.4.8 , you are looking for a file in " hd-library-receipts " as this folder holds all the current installed programs list it for Software Update.
Same as windows registry in a strange way.
Delete 10.4.8????.pkg in the receipts folder and empty trash can .
You get the idea.
Usually this will then inform software update that it is missing and it would want to reinstall it or you can download the combo update of 10.4.7 intel etc. and run it .
If you do not delete this file it will claim 10.4.8 is already installed and block any update 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 / change.
Used to work on my old G4 pbook , going to try it now.
Hope this helps.

Sorry folks ir works with Apps not with the OS itself.
Darn.
I had to archive and install but first downloaded 10.4.7 combo for intel.
Arched / install running 10.4.7 update = all 10.4.8 insanity fixed.
Rather have a bug filled full of holes working 10.4.7 than the 10.4.8 = barely functioning update.
Hope this helps.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6. The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work. When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

Iphoto 6 nightmare: how do i uninstall properly?

I would greatly appreciate some help getting me out of this iphoto 6 nightmare - missing thumbnails, missing pictures, etc.
i have my pictures backed up - my hard drive is cloned on an external disk, containing my iphoto folder BEFORE i upgraded from ilife 05 to 06.
i have followed all the advice i could find in this forum and tried everything - rebuilding, creating a new library from my old pictures folder, importing, and so on. nothing changes.
i'd like to purge my system of the poisonous iphoto 6 so i can re-install iphoto 5 and drag my old pictures back in. can someone tell me the correct way to do this? i assume there are other files to trash besides the library and plist. i'm not sure what else was installed and where.
thanks!

Hi petitemarie,
To get back to iPhoto 5, you would really need a backup of the iPhoto 5 Library folder that has not been updated to version 6 in order to keep your metadata such as comments and keywords, and also all your albums, slideshows, books.
Steps:
-open iPhoto 6 and select all newly imported rolls since your iPhoto 5 to 6 conversion one at a time and File>export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Name the folder with identifying text and a date such as 1/05/06 my birthday party
-close iPhoto
Steps:
To reinstall iPhoto 5
Drag the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder to the desktop and rename it it iPhoto 6 library
Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
Insert your iLife 5 CD/DVD and choose to do a custom install. You will have to keep ongoing through the steps of the install before you get to the screen where you can choose a custom install.
Install iPhoto.
Run Software Update and update iPhoto to the latest version of 5
Put your backup iPhoto 5 library in the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
Once iPhoto is open and showing your library import the folders you exported on version 6 into the library.
Let me know how it turns out.
The version 5 iPhoto might not be integrated with the other iapps. now that they are different versions. This I do not know for sure.

Some websites are saying I need to enable cookies when it is enabled already. I already tried deleting the cookie, deleting all cookies, clearing my cache, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. How do I fix this?

I am trying to access my school's library database. When I log in to access the library, it tells me that the site needs to verify me by sending me a cookie. There's a link to log in again, but when I click it, it says "404 not found". My privacy settings already have cookies enabled, and I tried deleting the cookie and revisiting the site but the same thing happens. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but that didn't work either. I am able to access the library on my iPod Touch, and I've tried other browsers on this compute and I can't access them on other browsers either. So it is clearly some issue with my computer that is preventing me from accessing this library. I don't know how else I can resolve this issue and I need to do so ASAP because my inability to access the library off campus is severely hampering my ability to get my work done.

I want to UNINSTALL the KitKatt update. How do I do this????

This OS update is awful!! The former comments tell all the woes, but my biggest issue is the battery drain. I bought this phone specifically for its ability to make it through the day without being tethered to a wall, as I was exhausted by the IPhone 4 for its ridiculous battery life. Now since the "upgrade", my battery is sucked down after 2.5 hours of talk time. I'm beginning to think Android upgraded as a means for us to go back to the IPhone...perhaps Apple stock was purchased just before releasing.....
How can I uninstall this upgrade??????

WOW!!!
That really sucks. If I am going to have a phone with a useless battery life, I might as well have an IPhone, at least I can access all the music I have already purchased.
Honestly, I saw no improvements with the upgrade. The color change in particular was just a HUGE step backwards….really? White? I can’t even tell if my battery is charging when connected without going to the settings, battery to see. So annoying…

InDesign is telling me to uninstall then reinstall the program, how can I safely do that?

I had 2 copies of InDesign on my macbook pro, so I took the copy that wasn't in my doc and I trashed it just because it was an extra copy. But now it won't allow me to get in InDesign at all; it's telling me I need to uninstall then reinstall it. I only have the c6 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, so it's not Creative Cloud. How do I reinstall it InDesign?

I need to install dreamweaver on a new laptop but i cant uninstall from the old one how do i do it

my daughter destroyed the hard drive on my laptop so I cant uninstall so how do I replace it on a new laptop. I already have it running on my desktop pc.

How you do it depends on which version you are asking about. If it is a licensed version then you need to contact Adobe support using chat and ask them to reset your activations. If it is a Cloud subscription then you should be able to install on the new machine and when you sign in it should automatically sign out of other installations.
