Uninstall software

I use new Air with Lion OS,But I don't know how to uninstall the software.
Please tell me,thanks

It depends on what software you want to uninstall. You can't uninstall Lion, the new Air will only run Lion.
Other applications can be removed with their uninstaller or you can delete them from the applications folder.

Uninstalled software deployed by SCCM still remains in Installed Applications

Hi experts
I noticed when we manually uninstalled a software which was deployed via SCCM, in Software Center, under Installed Applications, the software is still listed as installed there.
I know the only way to make the software unlisted under Software Center is to remove the software deployment on the Primary Site Server, refresh the client policy and the software will disappear from the Software Center, but that means it will disappear for
all the other computers which will need the software as well. I don't think this is a workable solution.
Possible to share if the uninstalled software will automatically disappear from the Installed Application to Available Application? If yes, how long would it take, does it depend on the next cycle where the SCCM client get new policies from the Primary Site
server?
The reason why I am asking this is because it might confuse the end user.
User: I thought you have uninstalled the software!
IT: Yes we did
User: Then why is it still listed under Installed Application in Software Center. It is bugging me! You didn't do your job.
Thank you

Hi,
You could check AppEnforce.log and CIAgent.log to confirm the current state for this application after running the Application Deployment Eval Cycle.
1. Find the ScopeID of the application in AppEnforce.log.
2. According to the ScopeID, check the current state for this application.
Best Regards,
Joyce

How do I "Uninstall" software?

I'm sure this must be posted here someplace, but I can't seem to find it. Sorry for having to ask, but how do I "Uninstall" software? I realize I can just drag an App to the Trash, right click & send it to the Trash or use the "Uninstall" feature of an App that has one, but I have several music plugins (VST, AU etc) & even Toast 9 that I need to really remove from my system. I've tried just moving things to the Trash, but that doesn't remove everything. Many Apps don't have an 'Uninstall' feature on the Installation program, so what do I do?
With Toast, I downloaded a program called Amnesia & used the demo version to remove it, but even though the App is gone from the Application Folder, it's not gone from my system, because when I right click on an ISO image, one of my choices of Apps to use is still Toast (no pun intended). I like Toast 9, but I thought I was updating my Toast 8 when I installed 9, but when I tried to use T9 (of course) it's asking me for my CD key, which (of course) I don't have.
I appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks...

*Uninstalling Applications*
First, I suggest backing up your drive in case you uninstall something you shouldn't have uninstalled.
Most small programs can have all their components contained within an app package. After running, the program will likely install a file in Preferences (either in your user area, or the main preferences, or both). Dragging a program and its preferences to the trash is often all that is needed, or you can use a program like AppDelete to delete these programs. However, most application deleting programs will not have an inventory of what is installed -- they just look for files that are clearly associated with the application you are deleting.
Try to find files associated with the application you want to delete by using Spotlight, Finder, or [Easyfind|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind] (free and generally highly recommended) to search for the application's name. Favorite folders for files to be installed are:
/Applications/
/Library/Preferences/
/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
where YourName refers to the user name when you login and the / indicates the series of folders down from your main drive. Note that there are folders with identical names but in very different locations.
A few programs may set login items to start automatically when your computer starts or a specific user logs in. These items are located in: /Library/StartupItems/ or /Users/YourName/Library/StartupItems/ To edit these, go to your account set up in System Preferences, login items tab, select the item(s) and a "-" to remove.
More involved programs (e.g., Office) may install bits and pieces all over the place, like fonts, libraries, etc. The software installer may have an uninstall option, or there may be a separate uninstaller for these. In bad situations you have to hunt around yourself.
Some programs install invisible files. You can use a utility such as Onyx to toggle visibility on your computer and check for invisible files.
Sometimes programs install files (often hidden) not readily associated with the program and if you're worried about those the only thing to do is a scan before and after installing a program and see what has changed.
Check out the utility [AppDelete|www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html]. It will remove simple applications and most of their associated files.

In Lion, has the process for uninstalling software changed?

Welcome to Apple Communities
Yes, for Mac App Store apps. Now, you can open Launchpad and delete them pressing Option key. For the others, it's the same

Uninstalling software

Back in the day, uninstalling software on the Mac was simply a matter of dragging and dropping the particular application files.
Wondering if this is still true with OSX ? IS there a 3rd party software that does a complete uninstall or is there something built-in to the OS that does it?

Back in the day, uninstalling software on the Mac was simply
a matter of dragging and dropping the particular application files.
Still the same today with OS X for the most part.
There is nothing built-in with OS X that does this as with Windoze.
If an application requires/uses an installer to be installed, it will usually also include an uninstall utility and if so, it should be used when uninstalling the application.
For applications that are installed as a bundle (most are) via drag and drop from a mounted disk image, simply dragging the application to the Trash along with the application's preference file and emptying the Trash is all that is required. If an application's preference file is not deleted, it takes up very little hard drive space and will cause no problems if not deleted.

How do you uninstall software? I have tried to download printer software that needs to be reinstalled and I cannot proceed until the original version is completely uninstalled.

I have installed printer software that needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and I keep getting an error message saying that the application is running and needs to be closed before proceeding. I do not know how to close applications and uninstall software. Any help????

If its an actual application and appears as an icon in applications then click and hold over the icon and drag it to the trash can. That should uninstall it as far as I know.
If its like the HP printer software then there is an uninstalled icon within the folder.
Hope it helps.

This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Thanks, that did work indeed! While I'll take your word that it is good software, I was paranoid that if something went wrong Apple Support doesn't support it, and I'd be in a bit of a bind.
Thanks again,

Need to uninstall software

First Mac in many many years. I need to uninstall software. How do I do this and make sure all related files are deleted as well?

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 software/programs

I recently installed mozilla onto my macbook because safari doesnt open certain pages and was wondering how to uninstall/remove safari from the hard drive. Also, how can you make sure that it is fully removed? I tried to remove another program off my hard drive but am not certain if dragging it into the trash really did remove it.

Safari is integrated into OS X. The next OS X update that arrives with an update for Safari will just reinstall it for you.

Can't uninstall software on Officejet Pro 8500A Plus

Googled this problem and found identical problem dealt with on this Forum however, now that I am logged into the Forum, the HP Search facility cannot find that same problem (what ?). The solution given was to download the "HP Officejet Pro Software and Driver Removal Utility" this being a url, but when I click on this url, the HP web site says it cannot be found (what again ?).
I have had this problem for a couple of years having failed to resolve it in talking to HP support. My cable connection to the HP printer is non-functional because of this HP printer software problem but as I can't uninstall the software to re-install it, I was about to throw away the printer. By chance, I discovered that the wireless connection still works, but without any of the bells and whistles provided by the HP printer software. Now even the wireless connection is flakey and I have to "Connect" and "Disconnect" the printer and router in turn as these 2 devices seem to conflict on the wi-fi network. Now almost impossible to get the HP printer to print queued items even when I try this fix.
From my experience, HP is the only company that makes software that cannot be uninstalled or even provide a fix for this situation. I would be unlikely to buy another HP product for this reason.

How to UNINSTALL software?

I am having serious issues w/ my Mac (ie. Safari and other apps "unexpectedly quit", unable to open apps if other apps already open, desktop and Safari loading VERY slowly). I took my mac to a local Apple store, and it looks like I need to uninstall the Virex software that came pre-installed on my mac.
It was also suggested that I archive and re-install my whole OS!
I'm somewhat intimidated by the thought of messing w/ my OS, so I've muddled along w/ the same issues for several months now, doing quick, minor fixes to get me by (ie. closing open apps to use other apps, resetting Safari and the cache, trashing library .plist files and the icons folder). My usual quick fixes don't seem to be helping now, sooooo....it looks like I have to get down and dirty now.
How do I uninstall the Virex software that came already installed on my Mac?
How do I archive files (and what files SHOULD be archived, for that matter) and uninstall/reinstall my OS?

KSilver:
Take a look at Dr. Smoke's FAQ on Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch and see if it offers any help.
In addition to John's suggestion to run Unix Maintenance (CRON cleaning) you may need to do some other maintenance. Gulliver offers good advice in Mac OS X System Maintenance.
Please post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.
