Uninstall/remove does not remove silverlight

I have tried to uninstall silverlight using the "add or remove program but the program does not respond when i hit the "remove" key. I have windows xp and silverlight 5. I would appreciate suggestions.

Hi,
I would suggest you have a look at this article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2608523?wa=wsignin1.0, the button in the "Fix it for me" section, If you would rather verify and update these keys yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section. Hope this helps, after the
Fix it solution has completed, install the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight at:
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
In addition, Andy ONeill post a sticky thread for the person who is experiencing problems with a Silverlight install, here is the link:

Right click SoftwareUpdate exe - Then go to Properties > Security Tab > Advanced Button > Owner Tab

I have Windows Vista and when i click uninstall windows asks for permission then the usual uninstall process does not take place please help Carl

I cant uninstall Firefox in the normal way please help, the operating system on my pc is Vista I can only get as far as allowing windows permission then nothing happens

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

Installed Acrobat Pro and uninstall Reader does not work defaults back to Reader

I've installed Acrobat Pro, after installing Acrobat Reader. After I uninstall Reader and click on a PDF file, it automatically opens it in Reader. I've clicked Acrobat 9 as my preferred software, but next time, it reverts back to opening in Reader. I'm using a lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows 8.1.

Thank you very much for your reply. This didn't work. As you can tell, this is not a high priority for me, just annoying that I have to uninstall Reader every time I open a PDF. It will open in Acrobat after that, 'til I shut down my laptop.
Here's the order: I installed Acrobat Reader. Then I installed Acrobat Pro. Then I uninstalled Acrobat Reader. But when I click on a PDF file, it reopens in Acrobat Reader (I don't use Microsoft Reader - at least on purpose!) Somehow Acrobat Reader is not completely uninstalling and reactivates. Our computer consultant tried to fix it, but couldn't. He said he thot some of his research showed this was a problem in Windows 8 and 8.1?
I just tried going into Programs in the Control Panel and Acrobat Pro 9 only shows Uninstall/Change, not Repair. However, I clicked through and got to Repair. Tried that (which I've actually done before) and still didn't work.

How do I REMOVE an ADD-ON from my TOOLBAR, when said ADD-ON does NOT show up in my ADD ONS Manager?

I have been instructed to:
"When you open Firefox up in the left hand corner there is a drop down box that says "Firefox". Click on this and go to add-ons a new page will open with tabs on the side.
Click on ADD-ONS, use ADD-ON Manager...."
That does not happen that way. (I am on Firefox 19.0 for MAC.)
When I click on Firefox (left hand corner at top of screen) "ADD-ONS" does NOT appear.
I get "preferences" and "services" plus, of course ABOUT/HIDE/SHOW/QUIT choices.
Running through ALL choices in PREFERENCES (which was not included as a step in your description) I find NO WAY to "deal with" ADD-ONS in General, Security, Privacy or Advanced.
"services" says only NO SERVICES APPLY"
I KNOW that I have an "ADD-ON Manager" I can open that. The ADD-ON that I need to REMOVE/Uninstall/Disable does NOT show there.
It is an ICON on the lowest level of my toolbars showing above my window. Whether this is an awesome bar, or any other specially named bar I can't tell you, but: LOWEST section.
This creepy ADD-ON (that I never personally installed) is called PRICEGONG - and it is now opening up a pop-up on all my eBay pages and elsewhere -trying to sell me things.
It is wasting SO much of my time and I need to get it gone.
WHAT do I do now? The PRICEGONG company has explanation of what to do to uninstall, but (no surprise) THEIR instructions/steps do not match reality either. RESULT: I can't get RID of this thing and am wasting huge amounts of time now with it.
WHAT CAN I DO?

hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

Remove device does not work

Although I can remove it, when iSync starts again the device is still shown. In this case it is Pocket PC, which was a program to connect a Pocket PC to the Mac. I no longer need this.
I also tried to add a Nokia E90. I d/loaded the plug-in, did a search in bluetooth, and it found the E90 and installed it as a device. However when I try to connect iSync quits.
The fact I cannot remove the previous device leads me to think that the problem is with iSync.
Any ideas? TIA

Your issues don't involve a problem with iSync.
These instructions no longer appear to be available at Information Appliance Associates support site, but you can do this to remove PocketMac completely from iSync:
Manually remove PocketMac plugins from iSync in Mac OS X 10.4 or later by…
• navigating to the iSync application in your Applications folder
• right-clicking or control-clicking on iSync, then choosing Show Package Contents
• opening the Contents folder
• opening the Plugins folder
• locating the Plugin named PM, Entourage or PocketMac that you want to delete, being sure to leave the other conduit.syncdevice folders alone
• dragging the folder or folders you want to remove to the Trash, and emptying it
Why their uninstall option does not perform these steps is beyond me…
Start with that fix, and then you can address the Nokia 90 issue.

Can I get rid of 36? It installed an update and now firefox does not work at all

firefox 36 is seriously broken
It updated on my computer and now does not work at all. I've tried all the suggestions and no help.....going back to IE

Hi wskossack, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with Firefox 36. I am also sorry that we have not been able to get that working for you yet.
If what you really want is to uninstall Firefox we can do that. Of course I have to ask if you would be willing to let my help you to get the most up to date version of Firefox working. But, Firefox is all about the ability to customize. If you want we can install the last version of Firefox and you can use that until the next version comes out or while we work to get Firefox 36 working for you. I will try to cover every option in my reply.
First I will cover uninstalling Firefox. If you want to look at the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|article click here]] this can be done in about 7 steps
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Firefox and install it again. This will most likely fix any problems you have right now. Because you are asking how to do this I am going to assume that you have not tried this.
If you have Vista or Windows 7:
1) close any open Firefox windows.
2) from the start menu click on control panel
3) click on uninstall a program
4) from this list chose Firefox
5) click on uninstall (this is located turds the top)
If the Uninstall Wizard does not run, you can start it manually by running helper.exe, which is located in one of these locations by default:
(32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
(64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
6) in the Firefox uninstall wizard click next and on the next page click uninstall then click finish
7) to remove other files and folders that may not be removed by the uninstall, you must manually delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations by default:
(32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
(64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
The uninstaller does not remove any user data such as history or bookmarks. To completely remove this data, you must manually delete the Firefox folder containing your user profile:
Click the Windows Start button.
Type %APPDATA% in the search field and press enter to open the hidden Roaming folder.
Open the Mozilla folder
Delete the Firefox folder.
Now I am going to go over how to get the last version of Firefox installed on your computer. If you want to look at the [[Install an older version of Firefox|article click here]] . If you decide that this is what you want to do please look at the article for some impotent security information.
Firefox 35.0.1 was the last version of Firefox and you can get it by [https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/35.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2035.0.1.exe clicking here] . The link is also in the article. If you do this you will have to disable the auto update. To do this go to options, then go to advance. Under advance there will be a sub tab. You want to go to update. Then you can select to never check or to have it tell you when there is an update.
So the only thing left is for me to help you with any problems you are having with Firefox 36. I hope you will give me a chance. In any case, if you need any more information or help with anything that I went over please let me know.

Error console does not show

I have installed Safari on Windows, and am trying to use the Error console in the Develop menu. When clicking on the menu item, the menu closes but nothing happens.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, with no success.
Any ideas?

Yes, 3.1.2.
This has persisted for a few months - a reboot isn't going to fix it
Uninstall/reinstall does not help, but I did find that Safari seems to remember some of my settings (like display Develop menu) after an uninstall. Is there some additional data somewhere that I might be able to clean out that might help?

Reboot does not remove previous version - how rmove uninstalled version completely

reboot does not remove prior firefox, which was uninstalled - cannot run new install due to vestiges of earlier version detected - reboot required to remove, yet removal never complete, so never able to run new install. please provide diagnostic detect & remove for any firefox items left on system

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
It may be better to remove all versions of Reader, and then download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit. How do I remove it?

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.
