Uninstall and cleaning-up question.

Hi,
I've nearly got my Arch install set-up as I want it. I also installed yaourt, so that I could install 64-bit Skype.
I'm probably going to dump Skype in favour of one of the OSS apps, so am happy to remove yaourt and anything else it brought with it.
Is there a recommended way to clean-up any unneeded dependencies, using pacman?
Should I just remove the yaourt URL from my pacman file?
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Chris.

I can't say that I'll never use AUR, but all the packages I want so far, with the exception of Skype, seem to be in the normal repositories.
I like to keep the system clean and tidy ('ish) :-).
Thanks,
Chris.
So if you ever want a package from AUR you will re-install yaourt and then subsequently remove it in an endless loop?

Have you tried to reset preferences? And no you do not have to start Bridge to do this.,
Hold down the Ctrl key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options. Choose all 3.

Uninstalling and cleaning computer of ITunes

How do I completely uninstall and clean my compter of ITunes and begin again. I installed 11.1.2 and it didn't allow me to do what I desired, include my music folders, so I uninstalled it and installed ITunes 10 but it tells me it can't open because of already installed software

T410 type 2516-A11 multiple monitor (and cleaning service) question

Hi guys,
I have the above mentioned model. I want to verify my understanding (from reading the forums) is correct regarding the multiple monitor setup.
This model is NOT capable of running 2 external displays + 1 internal laptop display all at the same time. I checked the BIOS and i dont see any mention of nvidia. Is there any way i can get 3 monitors all displaying at same time without purchasing a dock-3 ? I am considering simply buying another laptop (about $300 for a cheap one) instead of spending money on the dock. After all, this laptop is getting old and i need to get ready for some kind of unrecoverable crash. (I do not backup stuff, for lack of time and stuff is not work related).
The second question is on cleaning this laptop. After running 15 hrs a day, all days of the week, for past 2 and half years, this laptop has impressed me with its stability. But i had to buy a laptop cooler to hold the bottom of the laptop because it started getting hot and crashing on me every 2 days (because i run video intense app for much of the time). I am planning to take it to local fry's electronics for taking it apart and getting a good internal cleanup done on this. Is there any precautions i should mention to the fry's technician ? I am planning to backup important files, just in case the laptop dies after that. Would like to hear any stories (good or bad) after a cleaning service on T410 model.
Thanks in advance; i am planning to get this machine rejuvinated during this christmas break.

Hi,
if you remove "encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip" from the radio interface does it help?
it should remain like this:

no ip address
no ip route-cache
encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip
ssid WLAN_Corporate
ssid WLAN_HartKitGuest

Firefox 27.0.1 keeps crashing after a complete uninstall and clean install and disabling all plug-in's .

FF started hanging up recently so I did a complete clean uninstall including profile. then a complete clean install. I've disabled all plugins and extensions still to no avail. I just open FF and wait a few seconds with out even going to a page and I get the Beach Ball of Death, have to force quit every time. Disabled hardware accel also after reading through the forums. Nothing seems to help. Chrome and Safari work just fine.

Installed FF5 and got searchqu, after uninstall and clean, FF3.6 OK

Never had searchqu problems until installing FF5. Had to completely uninstall FF5 and then clean up windows. IE & Chrome were ok then. Reinstalled FF5, same again, searchqu/406. I have cleaned up windows again, and everything is fine. It does seem that this malware is related to FF5. Im using Dell XPS M1530 with Vista 32 home premium, although I still prefer XP.

-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''''When Firefox start : select "Show My Home Page" '''''-> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> click OK
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect "SearchQu Toolbar"
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its poistion is on the Right side of the Address bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select "SearchQu" and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE "SearchQu" Extension and any other Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Flash Player Uninstalled and clean install but will NOT work

Yesterday my Flash Player stopped working. I tried to update and it crashed. I uninstalled all of the Flash Player info and then did several clean installs. I tried previous verisons and it still won't work. I have Windows 7, I use Mozilla Firefox and not sure what else you need to know to help me fix this before I lose my freakin' mind.

OK, I will try, but I really don't know. I don't have any other recommendations of places to go and just use Flash like you do. You say it just quit working in Win7. Since you mention Firefox, I am assuming you are using Flash as a plugin for Firefox. Usually when such a problem occurs, something has updated. It may be that the flash plugin in Firefox is disabled.
Did something else update when Flash quit working. When you say it quit working, what are the symptoms. I went to the samples I listed below to check operation -- what did you do?
I just updated both Firefox and Flash. I then went http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/samples.html and played a movie sample. No problems.
All I can do is try to help you troubleshoot and see if I can replicate your problem. After the update of flash, I tried the same sample in SeaMonkey and IE (Ugh). Both worked. I am running Win7, 32-bit for this test. Acrobat version is not relevant for the problem.
If this does not point to something for you, then more information on what you are defining as working may be needed. At this point, I see no issues on my end and can not replicate a fault. Firefox is now at 18.0.2 and Flash is at 11.6. It is interesting that it is listed as Shockwave Flash from Adobe in the plugins list. If you search for Shockwave Flash, Adobe indicates a version at 12.0. I am not sure about the difference.
Maybe some of this will help.

I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Priemere Pro consistantly crashed upon export, I cleaned media cache and that seemed to help. Now export errors unknown problem... read to uninstall and reinstall and now I can not open up PPCS5

Here is my problems with Premiere Pro CS5
When I export a project... the computer crashes.
I was able to get a tech chat and they would clean the media cache
so I did that.
Then, I got an export error "unknown problem" I then read in a forum to uninstall and reinstall Premiere pro
Now on my very nice relatively newer IMAC, when I go to applications to open it... I can not find a purple tab to open it. It just has a presets folder, then open that and it has styles, templates, textures but, now little purple Pr to open or drag to my dashboard.
Help PLEASE!!! I have wasted 20 hours of editing time, and work because of crashes, and problems.

How do I fully and cleanly uninstall unwanted apps?

Have recently swapped from a Windows machine to a brand new and customised iMac. I've therefore had to accept that the OS is Mavericks and that pre-loaded on the machine are iPhoto and the iWork suite. I now wish to remove, if permitted, the following of these from the machine:
iPhoto
Keynote
Numbers
Games
How can I do this fully and cleanly? I gather that you can do a 'shake' test for an app you want to delete from the machine and, if it's permitted to remove the app, you then drag its icon on to the Trash. But as I understand it this doesn't necessarily remove other extraneous files associated with the app. So, how do I discover what those are, where they're located, and what exactly to do with them?
Incidentally, of the iWork suite I've decided to keep Pages.
I'm a little concerned that perhaps uninstalling these apps might remove some files that are shared with other apps on the machine, including functions built into the operating system. Will that conceivably happen? Is iPhoto, for example, required to display images in Apple Mail, and is it also required for me to be able to import RAW and other images from a camera using direct drag 'n drop (into a folder of my own choosing)? And what about Preview? Will that get removed along with iPhoto?
I only do serious work on my computer, and I want to keep this machine's contents lean and clean.

Barney and Tony,
Not sure if this reply will appear in the correct sequence in the discussion thread but I've had a look at those folders and files you mentioned, Barney. There was nothing in most of them. Library/Extensions exists as System/Library on my setup but I saw nothing in it pertaining to any of the three apps concerned.
In <System>/Applications/Numbers/Contents I found such cryptic folders as:
_Code Signature
_MAS Receipt
info.plist
MAC OS
Pkg info
etc
but, again, looking in these folders yielded nothing that appeared remotely associated with any of the three apps. In searches like this you can get right down to the very coding level if you wish, it seems. However, unless you're familiar with the coding you've no idea as to what these functions are, or how they interact with other apps and processes. And I'm certainly not.
One thing I did come across, however, happened when I was looking at one of the more hidden-away user functions of the Apple Mail client and I noticed that apps such as iPhoto and PhotoBooth are involved in importing images into the client. That being so, it might be better for me not to remove iPhoto, since I use and rely on Apple Mail quite a lot.
All in all, it's difficult for me to make an informed judgement on this. Possibly, Apple's now organised the uninstall of certain apps in a much fuller and cleaner way than before and so perhaps all I'd need to do, in reality, is to perform the 'wiggle' uninstall. But I just don't know. And there's always the danger that removing what are now some quite embedded apps could cause some other related app or utility to not function properly from hereon. So, in the end, I might have to just concede that I'm stuck with these apps.
Possibly, the only way of ridding my machine of them is for me to perform at a later date a major cleanup, completely wiping the HD, and reinstalling Mavericks from scratch.
If only Apple had never installed those apps in the first place! Why on earth did they have to be compulsory?! So much for Apple and their products being user-friendly! I'm disappointed in Apple over this.

When starting iTunes get the following message " Apple Application Support is required" uninstall and re-install iTunes. Question will I lose all records currently in iTunes ?? H=

Get a message on Itunes to uninstall and re-install Itunes since " Apple Application Support is required" Will this cause me to lose all records? Is there some to avoid this have tried to repair No LUCK

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Illustrator CC2014 does not respond whenever I open a file or create a new file. I have tried restarting my PC (Windows 8) and uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator.

I used a trial version first before purchasing the program. I have restarted my computer and uninstalling and reinstalling the program. I haven't added anything to the program. Thanks in advance to anyone able to answer my question.

Whitney,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
