Uninstall application on terminal

how uninstall annoying application from terminal on OS X mountain lion 10.8.4. Thanks.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Removing/Uninstalling an application by Terminal ?

Hi all
Is there any way to completely remove or uninstall an application ".dmg/pkg" using Terminal ?
I've searched google and only had got removing Files, Folders, Pictures ...etc
Waiting help
Thanks

See my note:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Web application processing terminated

Hi Fellow SDNers,
My user is trying to execute a report from a portal. He is getting the below error while executing the report:
Web application processing terminated
Diagnosis
The system had to terminate processing of the Web application.
The reason could be that the system was no longer able to find the Web application server session.
System Response
Processing the navigation step is not possible.
Procedure
Call up the Web Application again.
Note: Use the start URL and not the URL that is currently displayed in the Web Browser.
Procedure for System Administration
Notification Number BRAIN 278
However, when I tried running the same report from the portal with same user credentials, I'm not getting any error.
I suspect, its due to the IE setting. I got the cookies and offline IE files deleted from the user, but all in vain. User still faces the same issue. I'm still wondering, its not a issue with the BI system. This might be due to some network settings or IE settings.
But the issue is only for one report, rest of the reports are running fine for the user.
Kindly help me, if anyone has faced this issue earlier.
System Details:
Patch: SAPKW70015
release: 7.0

Satyam

Hi,
Check if the entry exists in table RSZWVIEW for your report.

How do I uninstall applications with a MacBook Pro?

Hai, I need help finding out how to uninstall applications with a MacBook Pro?
-I just got this computer 5-6 days ago and I hardly know anything about it. (AS expected from a new user to a Mac computer. ) Everything is kind of confusing to me especially with unziping and ziping files.
-I have researched trying to find out ways to uninstall with a Mac but everyone seems to have a different way to uninstall. And I really don't want to do something to mess up my new computer while trying to find out how to uninstall applications. (These computers are "expensive" and are non-returnable.)
If anyone can answer my question that would be so great and I would surely appreciate you!
Thank you, CreeSuki.
OH, and if needed I am running on operating system "Lion" (Rawrrrr). And I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 in general.
Thank you!

The basic way to uninstall an app is just trash it. But to get (most, sometimes all) of its associated data files, for example, preferences (usually .plist files in ~/Library/Preferences -- ~ is your home directory) you either have to know what to look for or try to use one of the 3rd party generic uninstallers. Here's a (partial?) list of potential uninstallers:
Amnesia
AppCleaner
AppDelete
AppZapper
CleanApp
iTrash
TrahsMe
Go to www.macupdate.com and search for them.
Note, there is no guarantee these uninstallers will find all the potential stuff an app can install but even if it misses stuff no harm is done other than wasting a little disk space.
Oh, almost forgot. Many apps that come with their own installers sometimes provide their own uninstallers to uninstall themselves. Use those if they are provided instead of one of the generic uninstallers.

Deploy applications to terminal server: /install?

Hi,
2 practical questions:
-how do you integrate the "change user /install" when deploying applications to terminal servers
-do you need to use the change user /install when deploying the app-v client (guess not)?
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

#1: you can use a script that changes the install mode, installs the application and changes to install mode again
#2: not needed

How to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?

Can anybody show me how to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?
I mean I want to remove the applications completely from my iphone, not just hide the icons.

Page 127 of the manual:
"You can delete applications you’ve installed from the App Store. If you delete an
application, data associated with the application will no longer be available to iPhone,
even if you reinstall the application.
You can reinstall any application and any associated data from your iTunes library
as long as you backed up the application by syncing to your computer. If you try to
delete an application that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.
Delete an App Store application:
1 Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to
wiggle.
2 Tap the “x” in the corner of the application you want to delete.
3 Tap Delete, then press the Home button to save your arrangement."

Uninstalling Applications Problem (Adobe)

Hello,
I'm still sort of an Apple newb, but I'm an experienced computer user in general (*nix/windows).
I got Adobe CS5 and just installed it right on top of my CS4. As a result, I get an error when I start Illustrator, Photoshop or Dreamweaver (Flash, After Effects, Lightroom, Acrobat etc. work fine).
I didn't know how to uninstall applications, so I msged a friend who gave me a superficial 'lol' and told me that the solution is to simply drag them to the trash. I did that with all my Adobe files (except Acrobat as it installs separately) and emptied the trash.
My second attempt at installing CS5 did not install all the applications. Actually, it only installed 3 or 4 out of the 14 that come in CS5.
What do I do? Is there an automated uninstaller I can get someplace? At this point I don't care very much about losing my application settings.
I would prefer finding a solution wherein the process is automated and I don't have to dig through random /users/, /library/ or whathaveyou.
Is there an uninstaller someplace, 'cause I can't locate it.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies, but I figured it out:
The Adobe Suite Removal Tool can be downloaded from the Adobe website.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
After I fully removed CS3, CS4 and CS5 (apparently, I had remnants of all three, lol), I was able to fresh install CS5.
This time it works spectacularly and doesn't complain about anything! (:

How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse. I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java. But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work.
My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command? Is this possible? Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
Bob Reed

It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used. We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it. So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login. So the preference is always enabled.
For your reference, the script content is:
#!/bin/sh
# DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then

How to uninstall applications, such as old versions of Photoshop, etc.?

What's the proper way to uninstall applications, such as previous versions of Photoshop, InDesign, etc.? I've read that the uninstall procedure resides on the "root" folder -- but where's that?

Apps that are installed via an installer usually also include an uninstaller. Others that you drag & drop to Applications are uninstalled by dropping them into the trash. Do note that remnants might be scattered about in various Application Support, Cache, and Preference folders. Those you'll have to manually find and delete.

how to uninstall application in mac?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind 4.9, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper 2.0.1
AppDelete 3.2.6
Automaton 1.50
Hazel
AppCleaner 2.1.0
CleanApp
iTrash 1.8.2
Amnesia
Uninstaller 1.15.1
Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Uninstalling applications? and wheres the delete key.

Sorry to sound like a complete idiot. However Ive had my macbook for a full day. First impressions are exceptional, however Ive only ever used DOS, Windows PCs over the last 13years, and this is completly new to me.
First question, which does sound dumb, is where is the delete key? I know theres a back space, but no delete for deleting characters in front of the cursor??? If so what key is it?
Secondly, how do I uninstall apps? In Windows, it could be done via add/remove programs, however I have no idea what Im looking for to remove installed programs on the hdd.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Paul

Hi
As for the remaining 1% that Terence did not deal with, these are applications that are more complex in structure and typically install files in various locations. These apps come with their own uninstaller. Check whether an app has such an uninstaller when you install it. Typically, uninstall info is to be found in the Readme file that comes with the application. As Dr. Smoke says:
"Never install an application until you know how to uninstall it!"
