Verizon can remove applications??

Did anyone else know that phone providers have the right to remove and add features (applications) to their phones? I fell in love with the Samsung Galaxy phones when I was introduced to the "Air Browse" function that allows you to page down articles your reading on the internet with the wave of a hand. I purchased the GalaxyS5 last week because of that...only to find out that VERIZON removed that option from the S5. **BLANK STARE** Whyyyyyyyyy??? I ask??? Will there ever be a patch to bring that feature back?? For the life of me I don't understand, especially because they have left that feature on all the other Galaxy phone. Does anyone out there know?

Hello Neffta!
Though the Air Browse app is not on your device, I'm sure we can find one that is compatible and does what you need it to do! Have you checked the Play Store? Here's a link so you can browse the applications: https://play.google.com/store
Thank you,

Is there a software which can remove unused files leftover from removed applications?

Hi there guys, as the title says... Does anyone know of anything, or anyway that I can do this easily? I notice that I do have files left here and there from software which I have long since removed... Any easy way to remove these files..?

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. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller

How can I remove applications?

I ran the January update on my iPod Touch and am now almost out of memory. How can I delete some of the applications/programs to free up more memory??

You will can't remove the January applications (Maps,Weather Stocks,Notes,Email) you can remove the web icons. Touch and hold one icon until it wiggles. Touch the the X. This won't free up much room so delete media instead

When I go to About This Mac and click on Storage it shows 421.93GB as Other. This only leaves 46.85GB of 499.25GB free. How do I find out what this "Other" is so I can remove the stuff I don't need?

What kind of use do you make of your MBP? A lot of photo or video? If so, you may be storing a lot of large files. Look at Finder and see what the file system looks like. Do you have large libraries of data files associated with applications?
You may want to think about an external hard drive to use for backups and data storage, you can point applications to the external drive as the default storage location.
A good source of external drives at a reasonable price is the Mac specialist, OWC, http://www.macsales.com
I bought their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB dirve last September and set it up to use part for Time Machine backup and part for other work space. Setup with Disk utility into two partitions is very quick and easy. Just remember to format as Extended Journaled with GUID partition table. Setting the partition sizes is by using a braphical image on screen in DU so it is like falling off a log, so easy.

Remove Applications from "Open With..." List

Ever since I installed Adobe Creative Suite, there have been countless applications available in the Open With... list for image file types (JPEGs, PNGs, etc.).
How do I remove applications from that list for a given file type?
Thanks!

There are a whole bunch of mostly useless little droplets that are installed by Photoshop and ImageReady. You can either toss them all, toss all but the one or two you might use, or just zip them and then if you ever want one unzip, take what you want and rezip the others (I kept Make Sepia Tone.exe and zipped all the others, and put a text file with a list of them all in the parent folder). Here's the location:
"/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Samples/Droplets"
There is one folder full of ImageReady ones, and another folder of the Photoshop ones. If you trash them you can also get them back from the install disk. After you zip or trash them restart the computer and your Open with list will be back to normal.

How do I remove application icon after data has been removed?

I removed the "Sid Mier's Civilation" software from my computer using steam. But the icon still exsists in my app. window thing. I went to Finder>Application to try and delete the icon, but the application is not found in the applications area in finder. The icon won't go away, how do i make it go away?

It is called Dock and if you control click -> options you can remove or just drag it off. It is just an alias.

How can delete application on lion

how can i delete any application on Mac Os X Lion from launchpad?

I don't believe you can delete apps from Launchpad. You can remove the app via the Application folder in Finder or you could also use an app that helps remove all traces of an App, such as AppZapper or AppDelete.

Remove applications from the "open with" menu

How do you remove applications from the "open with" context menu? I seem to have one instance of a program for every time it was "updated." So my "open with" menu has about 8 instances of Adobe Acrobat, 3 or 4 of Word, etc. It's obnoxious and cumbersom. Any idea how to edit this context menu? Thanks.

enter and wait the prompt
2) delete this files and restart

~/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist

How to remove application completely?

Hello!
I've just found some leftovers of an application I thought I have uninstalled. I tried to delete everything connected to the Cloud application I've had installed, including everything linked to it in the Library/SystemPreferences, but this is still here: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s287/sh/22ae3d46-5b47-4625-9f7d-59e6da55e42f/5947 b284f2dab2fb5fed7cde49c924f2
It's in the System Preferences - Users & Groups.

Select the item in that list then click on the Delete [-] button.

Here is what I experience:
I click on Applications icon. BBDS communicates with the phone and then displays a list of native applications. I click on Install/Remove button. A list of third party applications are displayed. I de-select an application and the hit Start. The phone is restarted. I can confirm that the application is removed from my phone, however, the application name is still displayed under Install/Remove applications. I even clicked on the app and highlighted the application but there is no option to remove the app from the list. When I click on Edit the delete option is disabled. My goal is to remove the 3rd party application from the list completely. Please help!

Remove applications

Does anyone know how to remove application buttons from the screen on a iphone. I don't like having the the new iTunes application from the last upgrade.

Nonsense. Nobody can or will keep you from geoing back to 1.0.2 if you want, and there is no way Apple can force anybody, under any circumstances, to upgrade to 1.1.1, although they can ask you to upgrade before helping you troubleshoot any problem you may have. However, the idea that Apple, or anybody else could force you to upgarde in order to keep using your phone is complete nonsense.
We may also note that there are limits to Apple's control mania. It may be good to remember that this is your phone that you are using, and not Apple's. You bought it, and you can do whatever you want with it. Finally, with regard to that old scarecrow of the voided warranty that people love to throw around in here, Apple cannot legally void your hardware warranty unless you have tampered with the hardware, period.

Is there a verizon or other application to "find my phone" for a Samsung Galaxy 4

Is there a verizon or other application to "find my phone" for a Samsung Galaxy 4

VinoDan,
Uh oh! I hope you're asking just in case it ever goes missing, and not because it's already lost! If it is lost, I truely hope you find that amazing phone. We do have an App called Verizon Support & Protection that can track your phone. It's part of our insurance program, and you can read all about it here: http://tinylink.net/03xxe

What is the best way to remove applications?

I would like to remove unused applications (iChat, Dashboard, iCalendar and so on...)
I am running audio software and using CPU quite heavily.
What wold be the best way to remove these types of applications completely and have as minimal running in the background possible??? (I have already turned off Bluetooth, Airport etc...)
Should I install removal software or just send them all to the Trash bin?

None of those applications are running unless you launch them. Dashboard widgets only use CPU time and RAM if they are running. If you quit all widgets in the Dashboard then there's no memory footprint or use of the CPU.
If you don't want anything but essentials running then don't launch any applications and remove any Login Items from Accounts preferences.
Just because an application is installed on the computer does not mean it is running unless you launch it or configure it to launch automatically. So there is no need to remove any of these applications or utilities.
You will find some good books on Macs and computers in general at your local bookstore. Your question suggests that you could benefit by reading a few.
As for how to uninstall applications that you have installed see the following:
