Uninstall MySQL on Intel iMac?

Hi there,
I have an iMac G5 Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.4.8. Somewhere I read that you could host your own blog on OS X and wound up "installing" MySQL 5.0.45 and the thing that said Startup Pkg. Also "turned on" MySQL in my System Preferences. Now I think I've completely messed up and would like to get rid of this MySQL but there aren't any files to delete. I read around the forum and apparently I'm supposed to do this all on Terminal? I don't really know anything about that but I tried some of the suggestions. Is there any other way? I also did a Spotlight search for MySQL and nothing comes up but I do think it's installed because it shows up on my Preferences and I lost hard drive space. (Though now on the Preferences, it's sort of messed up. It says MYSQl is running but the Start and Stop function doesn't work.) Don't know if this was a bad move but I also manually deleted the stuff in the Startup folder. It didn't look like there was much in there anyway.
I really have no idea what I just did. From what I've read a lot of people have trouble getting rid of this. Am I stuck with it? Will this MySQL cause me any problems with my other applications, use up memory, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

Did you find an answer to this? I stupidly installed the power pc version of MySQL on my intel iMac and want to completely remove it before I install the correct version. I can't seem to find a "proper" way to clean it all out.

  • How to uninstall an app on intel imac

    i would like to uninstall google chrome on my intel imac.
    how do i do that? 
    thanks

    Drag the application to the Trash, then Empty the Trash.
    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, 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:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2

  • Old ibook connected to Airport extreme on Intel iMac looses internet.

    For the third time in a year since I got my new iMac Intel Core Duo machine the wireless connection between it and my old 2001 ibook (with and external USB --afterthemac.com) wireless device has lost the internet connection for the ibook. I am using the iMac as a airport base station with my iBook and it has worked flawlessly for most of the time since Feb when I got my new iBook but this is now the third time (for no apparent obvious reason to me) that while the System Preferences for the USB wireless device show a 70-75 strength connection via airport my internet (entourage email, safari browser) and wireless printing are all dead.
    The last two times it happened I did a permissions fix on the iBook (nothing happened) and then reinstalled the driver for the USB wireless dongle. And I got the internet and printing through the printer on my iMac back. This did not work this time. I am set to Automatic in my Network preferences and am using use DCHP and have an ip address and such that are dynamically assigned. -- that still shows.
    I have also rebooted my iMac, stopped and restarted airport on my iMac "base station" (afer a minute) and still no internet but the system preferences still show a wireless connection. I have run out of ideas to connect and wonder what else I a missing but some sites I have looked talk about the mysterious loss of inernet (while wireless appears to be working fine).
    What is really weird is I also tested a Zen-Cart-MySQL server running on my localnet of my iMac and I actually got a connection of sorts by my ibook (once) today. It displayed the text portion of my Zen-Cart test screen but no graphics -- did not work next time. So it appears I almost have a connection of sorts with my iMac from my iBook but definately not an internet connection.
    One final note, my new Intel iMac is connected to my cable modem via an old Netgear router (which is working fine for the iMac). I do not suspect there is any reason for this to be the problem since the ibook is using the shared connection of the iMac. But thought I would mention.
    The ibook as I mentioned is the old 2001 dual USB model (white) it has only about 400 MB ram, a 10GB HD (but works great for email and web browsing for my wife). It has OS X 10.4.4, I have not bothered upgrading it any further because the HD has only about 2 GB of space free and other than this now third time of losing the internet connection it has worked fine and I hate to mess up this email/web machine my wife uses.
    So if anyone has ideas of where I can go next to troubleshoot I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Ok appears I solved my problem but not sure why.
    While I was posting this around I stumbled on a solution so my question is why. I read somehwere about rebooting the router even thoug it is connected to the iMac and my internet works fine there. Well I rebooted that and the internet for my ibook came back instantly. So since the ibook is sharing the imac connection to my cable modem via rouer using the airport on the iMac why would the router block my iBook and not iMac that is directly wired to the old router (it is not a wireless router)
    I want to learn why this now works so I can deal with it more effectively in future.
    Thanks,

  • Migrate from G5 Dual 2.5 to 24in Intel iMac

    Hi all, could any of the Guru's here give me some advice. I am migrating my set up from a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 to an Intel iMac 24in 2.3. What's the best way of bringing my apps, fonts and settings across to the new machine?

    I would not use Migration Assistant because you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac. Read the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
    Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
    I would consider simply reinstalling your third-party applications. All OS X applications are universal binary versions or Intel-only versions. They should not be replaced by your older PPC equivalents.

  • HT6001 updated iTunes on intel iMac and now it won't open at all

    I'm using a 2007 intel imac 20" (2ghz intel core 2 duo) and itunes just updated automatically (to 11.1.4). Now it will not open, I just get an error message "iTunes quit unexpectedly" before it even opens. There seems to be no way to uninstall itunes on OS X 10.9.1. I have restarted to no avail. Any ideas? (no, time machine is not setup)
    Thanks!

    please, any help at all? I'm about to throw this imac out a window and never by another apple product again.

  • Epson Perfection Scanner Woes/Intel iMac

    24" Intel iMac running OS 10.4.8, 250 GB HD, 2.16 GB RAM
    Epson Perfection Scanner 3170, previously ran smoothly on old G3 and OS 9.2.2
    I am trying to get my scanner to work with my new iMac - trying for the first time since purchasing the machine to use this scanner, which I was told by Apple was compatible. I did get it to run one scan this evening even though it kept quitting out; then it wouldn't open and told me to check the connections (fine). I am trying to "Scan to Application" - Photoshop for scanning photos into the computer, on a deadline, naturally!
    Before anyone suggests that I do a search, I found this thread and followed instructions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1607880&#1607880
    Uninstalled the Epson apps and prefs as per Joe Gramm's directions. I reinstalled from the Epson software CD, downloaded the 11928 driver from Epson (the latest one) and got the ESP3 patch as well (see thread, which I hope all installed where they were supposed to go).
    When I press the button on the scanner that opens the Epson Smart Panel, nothing - no icons - are there for me to select. If I click on Epson Scan app. the scanner will preview and scan whatever is in on the glass but it does not "know" what to do with it once it's done. The JPEG doesn't appear anywhere. I keep waiting for the next window to open up so that I can select the tool box icon to select Photoshop as my application, but it doesn't open and I don't know what to do next. I always had an item in the Apple menu on my old mac that selected the scanner and would like one in the dock - shouldn't something be there?
    I will be emailing Epson as soon as I am done here and would appreciate any help as soon as humanly possible as I have to make a reel for myself using portfolio pictures for an interview this weekend! GAH!

    I was having problems running EPSON Scan.app. I went to this site:
    and followed the instructions below EPSON*.ds file, and deleted all but the scanner model that I had. It worked for me!
    Also if your running Adobe CS3 on an Intel Mac then go to this site, if the TWAIN driver isn't working. I did Solution 2: and it worked for me. The latest epson driver is still PowerPC.

  • 10.4.7, Intel iMacs & MS Word

    Good morning.
    At Berkley we have just migrated to a G5 Xserve with Tiger server and upgraded all our workstations.
    The workstations are running Tiger 10.4.7 and are a mix of Intel iMacs, Mac books, eMacs and iBooks.
    Among the applications is MS Office 2004 for Mac with service packs up to 10.2.4, and I’ve applied 10.2.5 to one of the Intel iMacs.
    When the Intel iMacs are running MS Word, it unexpectedly quits just after a job is sent to a printer. It does not matter which printer, and it only happens on the Intel iMacs. The MacBooks and the Power PC machines are not affected. The iMacs have 512MB of RAM and are fine otherwise. Disk permission repairs do not make any difference, neither has the 10.2.5 service pack.
    I’d appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    I'm confused about the update service pack. Office 2004 should be 11.2. I assume that's what you meant.
    Was Office 2004 Test Drive uninstalled before installing the full version of Office. It is well known that installing the full version without uninstalling the Test Version will cause problems.
    I'm also wondering if 512meg is enough ram to run it smoothly and not cause problems. Office has to run unde Rosetta on intel macs which may use more system resources. I run it on a mac mini with 1gig ram and hadn't had any problems with it. Also prints fine on several printers over my LAN.

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • Issues with iMovie '06 on new Intel iMac

    Hi All,
    Hi have just got a brand new Intel iMac 2.0GHz 20" Core 2 Duo with the new shiny screen!! Looks very snazzy and speed is pretty good.
    Due to the limitations of iMovie '08 and the fact that PPC machines can't run it, I have uninstalled the iLife '08 that shipped with it and installed iLife '06 so that the machines onsite are all running the same apps.
    When I open iMovie, I get the following error message:
    "Your computer contains a graphics card which may not support iMovie.
    iMovie requires a "Quartz Extreme Compatible" graphics card. Certain iMovie features such as Themes, Ken Burns Photos, and Video FX may not work properly with your graphics card."
    This is a bit concerning on a new iMac that won't even run Apple's own application! The graphics card as reported by System Profiler is:
    Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2600
    Type: Display
    Bus: PCIe
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x9583
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-B2250F-212
    EFI Driver Version: 01.00.212
    When I go into iMovie and try dragging a JPEG file into the clips pane, I receive the following error message:
    "Error during import
    The file could not be imported: -[QCView_finishInitialization]: Object creation failed"
    Does anyone know if iMovie '06 is able to run under the new iMacs?
    Cheers,
    PJR
    --

    Just as an update...
    I have deleted the iLife applications form /Applications, installed iLife '08 excluding iMovie, downloaded the free iMovie '06 installer from Apple, installed it and tried the same process again of launching iMovie and importing a JPEG. The same two errors still exist

  • Epson Stylus Photo R1800: successful Firewire install on Intel iMac?

    Has anyone been able to succesfully install the Epson Stylus Photo R1800 on an Intel iMac using the Firewire connection?
    After installing the Intel drivers from the Epson website, if I connect the printer via the USB cable the printer and associated driver show up in the Printer Setup Utility just fine. But if I connect the printer via the Firewire cable I just see a printer named "E" in the printer setup utility and no R1800 driver at all.
    Epson support just keeps instructing me to uninstall and reinstall the driver.
    I've hunted around in the discussions here and have noticed some people having trouble with this particular printer, but I've been unable to establish whether anyone has been succesful with the Intel iMac/Firewire combination.
    iMac 20" Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I am printing with a firewire connection. I have an intel iMac. Prior to buying the R1800, I checked out Epson's site for new intel printer drivers. A new update has been posted with an alert about the bundled software that comes with the R1800-don't install it! And if it was installed there's an uninstall walk through. The software did not come anywhere near my new imac. I downloaded the new software and I am printing with a firewire connection. I have one issue with the download. I can't print CDs because the application is on the original software cd. I contacted Epson and asked if I could install just the CD print software and not the printer driver. I will be waiting for an answer. I installed the software on a powerPC imac tiger. The printer is firewire connected and there are no printing problems, I can even print CD labels.
    I will post epson's response.

  • Do these programs run on the Intel Imacs

    I wanna get the intel imacs, but i just wanna know if these programs will work on them.
    -Photoshop cs2 or the entire creative suite
    -Dreamweaver
    -Micorsoft office suite
    -Flash 8
    -Firefox

    There's a special Flash plug-in supplied with the Intel-Macs because the distribution version of Flash is not Intel-Mac compatible. The other programs will all run via Rosetta. There is a universal-binary version of Firefox (it's not the standard Firefox distribution, rather a Deer Park variant.)

  • Networking Intel iMac, G4 iMac, & Compaq Laptop?

    I networked my Intel 24" iMac (Airport Extreme card), my wife's G4 20" (G4=1.25 mhz; ZDlan AirExtreme USB network adapter), and a Compaq (Windows XP; Motorola notebook adapter card) laptop with an Apple Airport Express base station. I used the installation software that came with the USB AirExtreme adapter card on the G4 iMac, and to my surprise they all worked together just fine for several months. I could get the internet and print from the network printer from any of the three computers. After about two months, I started having problems getting the internet on any of them and called my ISP (Bellsouth). Bellsouth "upgraded" the firmware on the (Westell) DSL modem, fiddled with various settings on both the Intel iMac and the Westell, and finally got it so that the Intel iMac could get the internet. They then announced that they had thus met their obligation to me and said the rest was Apple's problem. I fiddled with the Compaq and got it back online, but the G4 iMac was never able to connect. The signal from the base station was making it to the G4 iMac, but I couldn't get the G4's OS 10.3.9 network settings to recognize the PPPoE server. After installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling the ZDlan software numerous times to no avail, I called Apple tech support, and they tried everything they could think of for nearly two hours without success, and concluded that either the USB modem had stopped working, the ZDlan software had been corrupted, or the OS needed reinstalling on the hard drive. He emailed me the instructions for how to do this without losing any data or programs. I called the eBay store that I bought the USB modem from, and they're sending me another new one (with installation CD) for free, but if the new one doesn't work, it looks like I'm going to have to face reinstalling the OS and praying I don't screw it up.
    My question is this: have any of you had success using the ZDlan AirExtreme (it's made in Asia and marketed under different names; it looks like a tiny blue Zippo lighter) with a G4 (1.25mhz; 20") iMac? Is there some other USB network adapter that would work better with an Airport Express base station on this G4 iMac? Does anybody have any alternative suggestions for me?
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   24"; 3 GB RAM; 256 MD VRAM; 500 GB HD

    When I bought my refurbished iMac G4 direct from Apple online,
    I also purchased the AppleCare protection plan and a refurbished
    AirPort Extreme card for it; at the time, the card retailed for more.
    And until September, my computer and the wi-fi card are covered.
    The USB 2.0 iMacG4 models [or, 1GHz G4 processor + USB 1] and later
    can use the Extreme card; the specs for the 1.25GHz 17" and 20"
    are very similar in most ways other than the size of the display.
    Now the price for some parts are lower. I know where I can get an
    unused/new Extreme card for free; a friend was sold one by the
    Apple Store online for his iMacG4 700MHz computer. Of course
    it won't fit and he's too good a person to bother returning it...!
    gaelic2, you are welcome to the additional input; a good used
    card of the correct type could likely last for years, and it says

    This is my first mac and the **** hard drive crashed in only 2+ years and of course the waranty is expired.  Can I replace the hard drive with any 3.5" replacement or do I need something special.  And if I do where can I get it?  I didn't see anything specifically for an intel imac at apple store.  I don't want to pay apple to install it, already spent enough money on this disappointing purchase.

    any 3.5" Sata drive will do.  I recommend http://www.macsales.com/, or http://www.newegg.com/

  • How do I use my Intel iMac to see the screen on my old G5

    The screen on my old G5 is fading fast and I would like to connect it to my newer Intel iMac and use it's screen to be able to see what i'm doing. Is there a way to do that?

    Fortunately I was just able to make out the Screen Sharing check box on my older Mac. As soon as I checked it and opened the file on the newer Mac there was the screen. Perfect. Thanks so much.

  • Emagic mt4 and intel iMac does not work with 10.4.5

    Hi there,
    after updating my iMac on 10.4.5 my MT4 does not work any longer. It is still shown in the system profiler! But that`s it! After I`ve installed the latest driver (emagic v1.7), it was not shown in the audio/midi preferences. On my G4 with 10.3.9 it is still working properly. I have tried to use it with Garage Band 3, while I am waiting for Logic Pro 7.2 . It worked in the begining, but now the USB connection on the MT4 does not light up, but the midi devices. My question is: Do I need a driver using Logic Pro 7.2 with an Intel iMac? Includes the update the driver for Emagic MT4?
    thanks a lot for any reply, experiences and clues

    Hi Glyn,
    I will try to get some driver information of apple. Emagic is apple now, so who else could that know?! I use an m-audio fw audio-interface. For that m-audio got a driver and it works by now. Fortunately! I will tell you if apple got a clue.
    Thanks for reply ( So I am not the only one in universe with that problem!)
    Best regards
