Want to remove second party software

Hello, a while back I found a site that adds different events, such as holidays and holy days to iCal. I downloaded and added it. Now I would like to get rid of it. I dont remember the name of the software. But it seems imbedded in iCal. Please help

Based on your information, I think all you need to do is choose the calendar (eg US Holidays) and delete it.

Second-party software problem? Firefox language support?

Please reply if you can help: CJ Hinke <[email protected]>
Installed Leopard and only reinstalled the latest versions of second-party software. Did away with MS Office and Adobe CS3. First primary problem logged: suddenly Firefox can't read Thai language (all Thai characters replaced with question marks)--has anyone else had language support disappear?

Often I can keep relaunching until the appl 'takes'. I'm getting royally tired of this and of deleting my caches over & over (which doesn't work nearly every time). TextEdit, Safari, Quicktime, Terminal, System Preferences, Disk Utility have crashed (and one or two others), not every time but sometimes; so have non-Apple appls: Wired Client, VLC. Even 'Reset' Safari to no apparent improvement. Don't use Dashboard & all my widgets still seem to be there.
On the Apple side, I have installed iLife and iWork '08 which I use as alternatives to MS.

Really wish I hadn't 'upgraded'! I'm beginning to think Apple is using us as beta testers for a system that wasn't a stable release yet. I'm seriously considering reinstalling Tiger--don't see any other solution. Or perhaps Leopard just wasn't intended for PPCs. I'm having as much difficulty as with the anteDeluvian OS 9!
My intuition as a non-geek but Mac user since 1984 that conflicts with Safari are at the root of these problems. I have now uninstalled almost all second-party software and will reinstall one-by-one as I need to use it to find out if there's one culprit among them.

HT3964 How to remove third party software?

How to remove third party software from the MacBook Pro 2011? I have software which is freezing my opening screen.

If the files came with an uninstaller, use it. To get rid of all the stragler files most applications leave download a 3rd party uninstaller.
AppDelete
AppZapper
AppCleaner

Remove 3rd party software

I installed Missing Sync a few years ago when I purchased my MAC. I am now looking to upgrade to an IPhone with Verizon and the Missing Sync has errors every time it runs. I want to be done with it and remove it. Do I just trash the icon or do I have to REMOVE or Uninstall all related files? I want to do it correctly to get it off my Mac!

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, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
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 Automaton Hazel CleanApp Yank SuperPop Uninstaller Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

I want to buy second hand software, help please

Hi guys,
I really want to buy the final cut studio studio. I found this guy, he wants to do a better price on his software.
But how can l be sure that is good. I mean What about if he did a copy of it, or did register it. Waht can go wrong if i buy it?
Can you guys give me a clue. I'm a clue less about buy from someone else.
thanks you all.

Thanks you all. I find out if i get all the cds boxes license manual etc. Is ok, l will have no problem.
But if the seller keep a copy for himself or give it away, in the future some one can try to register it. So apple will not be able to know who has the original version of the software anymore, updates and support can be cancel for that serial number. So my be not a very good ideia. I did call apple care and asked this.
Like Jim said on my other post. "Only buy used software from your mother"
Thanks you all

How to enable the NTFS Read/Write support without 3rd party software?

Is there a way to enable the NTFS Read/Write support of Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Well, I've used Paragon NTFS, but if you don't want to use 3rd party software, you should do this AT YOUR OWN RISK:
Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
Type "diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name" and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
Backup /etc/fstab if you have it, shouldn't be there in a default install.
Type "sudo nano /etc/fstab".
Type in "UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw" or "LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw" (if you don't have UUID for the disk).
Repeat for other NTFS partitions.
Save the file (ctrl-x then y) and restart your system.
After reboot, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support. This works in both 32 and 64-bit kernels. Support is quite good and fast, it even recognizes file attributes such as hidden files.
Good luck!

I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?

I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?

It is not about payment of $19.95 (Igalsses) or $7.99(webcam settings). This is a very basic setting that should be available in the system settings. The automatic setting of the internal cam does not work great on low lighting as everyone is aware.
i am just amazed how users take in lying down and suggest solutions such as paying for a 3rd party paid app or improving the lighting in your room.

Need Third Party software recommendation - duplicates management and remova

I have read several dozen discussions addressing duplicate file/song removal from itunes, and many recommend third party software. While there is a 'show exact duplicates' command in itunes at Shift:File->Show exact duplicates, in my case all it did was show all of my songs, 8,440 instead of the actual 4,220 that are in my library. I'm not sure of the purpose of this command, perhaps it works for someone but not me.
Absent the ability to add a user defined column in itunes that would have the capability to perform an Excel-like function to number each row, allowing the sorting of odd/even numbers or some such scheme, I guess users with thousands of songs who have fallen into the duplication trap are required to purchase third party software to correct this, or just go ahead an begin whatever medical procedures purport the relief of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Does anyone have recommendations of software they have actually used, paid, share or free?
Thanks.

Would that I be so lucky! I reinstalled my Vista OS and was adding back all of the programs and data, so all of the music had the same 'date added'. However, I have just this moment solved my own problem. Here is what worked for me:
1. I downloaded freeware from the website LCIBrosSolutions.com which does indeed identify duplicates in the iTunes file and will erase them.
2. However, now you are stuck with broken links (i.e. "!" songs) in your iTunes, and need to eliminate them. What I did was go into the View choices, and picked something that I would never use. In my case, I picked "Episode Number" and added it as a column. Then, I went to "select all" and highlighted all 8000+ song names. Right clicking gave me "Get Info" after the warning, and then I went to the video tab and entered the number 4. I un-highlighted, sorted on the Episode Number Column, and since the song names with no real content would not accept the number 4, they were at the bottom, and were all duplicates. I deleted them.
The way to verify that you do indeed have broken links is to sort by song name, and see that every other one does have an ! by it.

How do you remove a third party software update on Lion?

A friend recently pulled an update to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1. The update version is 3.6.2. Consequently, RDP does not work when connecting to a Windows machine remotely.
NOTE: I realize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 is no longer supported for OSX Lion and later. However, I use this same client successfully on a 2009 Intel MBP upgraded to Mountain Lion. I did NOT pull this third party software update and RDP works without fail.
Troubleshooting steps to date:
Attempted Uninstall/reinstall of RDP.
Failed.
My goal is to "roll back" this specific application prior to the software update without having to restore OSX.
Please help locate the specifc program files to be removed. I'm willing to remove manually through Terminal with the right instruction.
Thanks!

How to remove the stubborn 3rd party software from my curve

Here are the softwares that I want to remove-
ICQ, AIM, Myspace, Yahoo search, Google talk, Yahoo messenger, Window Live messenger... I never use those softwares. I tried using desktop manager, those softwares aren't even on the list. And, I tried to use applications under advanced options, it did remove from the list then reboot the curve, they still come back on the curve. They are so stubborn! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Amy

once you remoe them from applications they are gone. When you restart your device, only the icon comes back, if you were to actually click on that icon, it wont run the program, it will download and install it first. The reason for this is because its part of your plan from your carrier and is always pushed back to your device. if you ahve them uninstalled, u are saving space, then just hide the install icon.

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network. I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR. I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

Hi,
Can anyone help me please.
I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi.
I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system. I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
Is there any 3rd party software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
Thanks,

My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

Remove A 3rd Party Software

Hi,
I have some "Old 3rd party software" that needs to be "Updated with newer versions".
How do I "remove(delete) the old version software" and install the new versions software?
Thanks.
Ed

There is no definitive answer to your vague question because there are many variables.
For many apps there's no need to remove the old version at all - multiple versions can quite peacefully co-exist
For some apps you can simply throw away the old application file.
Some applications ship with 'un-installer' applications which remove all traces of the app.
Some applications have built-in updaters which can apply updates (including removing old versions) for you.
Some applications, especially those that use network connections or have background components or startup dependencies have special startup scripts that run at startup. In these cases removing the old app might not remove the startup script, and the startup script might or might not be compatible with the new version.
There are other cases, too.
So, as you see, there is no one answer to your question, and since you don't identify the application in question no one can tell you which category your app(s) falls in to.

I understand this product comes with 2 licences but am hoping to retain the extra for another pc.

My experience (limited) has been to expect it to be installed automatically for all users.
