Uninstalling ClickToFlash - help, please!

In another thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12027398&#12027398,
Carolyn Samit explains how to uninstall ClickToFlash - but either I'm misunderstanding her advice or it doesn't work for me!
I installed ClickToFlash from the Safari extensions gallery at https://extensions.apple.com/ and then found that Google Street View no longer works. I also installed a couple of other Safari extensions (AdBlock and Close All tabs) and those two added icons in the Safari Toolbar - but ClickToFlash appears to have installed nothing.
So, firstly, I have nothing that I can see which I can actually click to ClickToFlash (if you see what I mean!) and secondly, because I have no visible proof that it was installed, save for the legend "Installed" in the Safari extensions gallery, I have no way that I can se of uninstalling it as I have no way of accessing it.
Carolyn's advice was:
Uninstalling ClickToFlash: for versions 1.5 and later, go to the Settings window and click the "Uninstall ClickToFlash" button. For versions prior to 1.5, navigate to ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ in the Finder, where ~ is your home folder, and delete the item named "ClickToFlash.webplugin" (or "ClickToFlash.plugin").
I have no idea which version I have as I can't access or see it anywhere. Because i can't see it, I can't find any Uninstall button. I am assuming that I have a version greater than 1.5, although I have no way of finding out, because I only installed it last night but, nevertheless, I deleted the webplugin - and that didn't allow me to use Google Street View so i assume that ClickToFlash has done something else (damage?) to my Safari.
Safari is v5.0.2 (6533.18.5) and it, and OSX.6.4 are, to the best of my knowledge, fully up to date and until this debacle operating fine.
How can I rid myself of this piece of software?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, andyBall_uk had the answer. I uninstalled it that way and Street View is now working again.
There was indeed no entry for Flash under Safari > ClickToFlash.
Why did there not appear a Toolbar icon as there is for the other extensions I added? Am I misunderstanding what should happen with this particular item or did it maybe not install correctly?
And, judging by the fact that several others seem to have wanted to uninstall it, is there a bug and/or problem with it?
Thanks for the suggestions, whether or not "your" solution worked!

Installing/Uninstalling HELP please

Hi,
This may be the wrong forum but only registered today and tried to open a question in a community forum and new message/topic isn't highlighted.
My immediate problem is last night I downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 I then tried to
uninstall/remove my existing Blackberry Desktop Software 4.2.1 but I can't? I go
through the motions, 3 screens and the last says remove. I click this then get a
prompt saying:-
Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\BlackBerryDesktopSoftware.msi I then have to click cancel,
it rolls back then I have to click finish & the Wizard closes???
I now have 2 versions of the software installed 4.2.1 & 6.1 !!
I'm trying to remove through add remove programs as that is the prompt I get. I
use XP and IE8, if this helps??
Can anyone advise please??
Thanks,

Dear all,
this is my 3rd day that I spent in front of my computer and my mind start cracking.
Firstly here is my computer config:
win7 ultimate
service pack 1
always "run as administrator".
I had bold 9000 (OS5 - BIS) and and was using/syncing with desktop manger v5.0.1 without any problem over 2year.
3 days ago bought a new bold 9788(OS6 - BIS) and my nightmares started.
Firstly, existed DM start to crashing when I connect my phone. So I downloaded from blackberry web site v6.1version.
I read necessary forums before installing and made clean uninstall for previous DM as per stated ArticleID: KB02206
plus as a medium tech savvy I run registry cleaner program to clean leftovers as I did for my all unistalls. so far noany problem about uninstall process.
when i run the installer installation starts but afterwhile it comes error 1316(a network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installer\blackberry desktop software.msi) and installation stops androlling back process.
after that i read all the forums related 1316 error but as now no any solutions. I can't install this software to mycomputer.
here is the list of the procedures i followed so far, but i would like to remind after each installation attempt, Iuninstalled together with complete uncleaning process including with registires and all "research in motions"folders that created during installations and countless reboots.
here is the folders I deleted each time:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\research in motions
C:\ProgramData\research in motions
C:\Program Files\research in motions
in some forum manetioned another folder might be created under C:\users\****\appdata\roaming\ -but I dont found any RIM file or folder in this section.
here is the resolutions that i followed so far.
1.) all 4 resolutions explained in Article ID: KB04272
2.) used windows installer clean up app. for uninstall.
3.) i placed "desktop software.msi file inside of the C:\windows\installer folder.
4.) i run setup.exe file from extracted zip file.
5.) deleted registries from registry editor by searching ne by one.
6.) registered alt.dll for re-installs.
as I can see from the forum pages error 1316 is problem for who want to uninstall software. i just want to install latest desktop software and use my new phone and sync my contacts.
can you please check and let me know if you have any experience how to overcome about this problem ?
many thanks in advance.

Uninstalling quicktime (help please)

I'm going through the same problems as everyone else, but it won't uninstall for me at all. I keep going into uninstall programs and it goes through the process, but it's still on my computer. I want to install the older version, but it can't until this is gone. It keeps saying something is corrupted.

Thank you so much for your response. Whew that took a good 2 hours. I finally got it fixed. After the failed attempts to uninstall quicktime I found this:
*1. Go to C:\Program Files, then delete the entire QuickTime folder.*
*2. Click Start - Find/Search - All Files And Folders, select the hard drive ( C: ) to look in, type in QuickTime, then click Find/Search. when the list of files appear, right-click on and delete all the ones that you confirm are associated with QuickTime.*
*3. Click Start - Run, type in REGEDIT, then click OK. Click the + in:*
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Software
*In the Software sub-menu, right-click directly on the Apple Computer entry, then click Delete - Yes.*
*(Note: If you click the + in the "Apple Computer" entry, you'll see "QuickTime" listed there)*
Then I tried uninstalling again and it worked. Then I installed an earlier quicktime and took out itunes and installed itunes 7.4. Everything works fine now. Thanks again though!!

Error installing/uninstalling itunes help please

hello,
got the latest itunes, and recently i had some hd troubles, so i had to restore my system from acronis (restored the partition using a backup i created).
i try starting itunes and it doesn't want to work. i try installing/uninstalling and it doesn't want to work either.
i get this message:
"The folder path "My Pictures" contains an invalid character."
i tried restoring 'My documents' to it's original and default locations, but i can't seem to get itunes to run.
any1 know how to fix this ? thanks.

It's a simple fix and doesn't involve reinstalling anything.
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libxml2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Error code 2330. I cannot install or uninstall itunes HELP PLEASE

I've tried SEVERAL times to download & update my itunes and keep getting error code 2330. As suggested in other Q&A's, I've run disc check to clean the hard drive, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I can neither install or delete itunes. What can I do ? There must be a fix, how do I find it ?

You might need to run the Windows installer cleanup utility....start the troubleshooter for assistance at the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/

I am running windows 7. We updated firefox and it would no longer open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from firefox website. I click on the firefox icon and it will not open. Help please

It installs and I attempted to launch the browser and it never starts. I tried to uninstall, but it says firefox is running. I restart my computer and uninstall and try again. It still will not open after install is complete. Why won't it ever open up? Help please!

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

Itunes won't open on my computer. I uninstalled it, turned off the computer, rebooted, and re-installed but when I click onto the "itunes" icon nothing happens. When I plug in my iphone or ipod nothing happens as well?? HELP PLEASE.

Itunes will not open. I click onto the icon and it does nothing. I've uninstalled it twice and still nothing. Rebooted and nothing. I plug my iphone as well as my ipod and still nothing happens. Help please.

I, too, am having a serious problem with my iTunes.
It shows that iTunes is taking up usage on my computer but there is no error message when I try to open it. Nothing even happens. iTunes does not come up and I am searching for a possible answer.
We recently had a power outage but we got power back Sunday and when we did iTunes stopped working. Before this incident iTunes usually worked and when it didn't a simple re-start was used to fix it. However now I have tried that several times and it is not working.
Help?

Tried to upgrade and after uninstalling and reinstalling several times, keep getting "procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" Error 7.....Help, please??

Tried to upgrade as instructed and after uninstalling and reinstalling (even back to the former iTunes which I was happy with)several times, keep getting message "Procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" "Error 7". Help, please??

Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. Unfortunately you neglected to include the detail of which dll is mentioned.
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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

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.

I have uninstalled everything on my laptop, removed all my files to my external device and my laptop is still incredibly slow when opening any of the adobe applications, can anyone help please?

I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?

What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
What are your system specifications? How do they match up to the system requirements for the software?
