What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro?

What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro.
I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and I want to remove it from my older MacBook Pro.

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

All Apple recommends is a damp cloth.
Depending on how much and thick it is, I'd use a dry papertowel or your fingernail to scrape the bulk of it off (I suggest fingernail so that you use something that can't really scratch the iPad)
Once you get most of it, then use a damp, not wet, cloth, maybe one that you moistened with warm water to help cut through the waxy nature of the crayon.
What you don't want to do is use chemicals or anything like a scrubby pad because you don't want to scratch the surface in your efforts to clean it.

Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
already
spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
part, I
usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now
that I can)
to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the
delete and

What is the best way to get adware off from my Macbook?

what is the best way to get adware off from my Macbook? I seem to be infected.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

What is the best way to add hard disk space to macbook pro?

I'm running out of disk space on my macbook pro. What is the best way to add disk space?

another way of doing it is to replace your hard drive with a larger one.
if you're technically capable, it takes 10 minutes for the swap and an hour minimum to clone your hard drive or do a data transfer. all depends on how much data there is to trandfer or to clone.
good luck.

What is the best way to remove personal data from the hard drive in preparation for selling my old Mac?

I am going to sell or perhaps donate my old Power Mac G5. Is there an easier, yet comprehensive way to remove my data from the hard-drive? My best approach is dumping anything I do not want found into the trash.
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on the powermac G5

For better security than the simple Erase (which does not actually over-write the data blocks, only clears the directory), choose Security Options, and Zero all data, one pass.
After a Zero all data, the only way to recover the data is to dis-assemble the drive in a clean room and use expensive test gear to recover a little of the data. That is good for all but Military Secrets.
If you really trust no one under any circumstances, remove the drive and beat it to death with a hammer.

What is the best way to remove unwanted software from my mac

I was told that I have unwanted software on my MacBook. The software cannot be seen in the Applications folder, but it is there and it needs to be removed or files and network connections will be damaged. I know there are free downloads to help resolve the situation, like AppZapper. I am wondering what is the best free download available.

Who told you that you have unwanted software on your Mac?
How did they find out that this was the case?
Did you allow someone to remotely connect to your Mac?
What is the name of this software?
Only after we know the validity of this information will it be time to do something about it.
At the present time I would not load any crapware on your Mac such as AppZapper. It is never needed for any reason on a Mac.

What is the best way to remove all trace of a software?

I installed a trial version software and now I want to remove it. I did uninstall it but it kept still popup with the message "trial period expired" when I installed the full version in. I want to remove all of trace of the trial version and then I will try install the full version and see if it popup with that message again. I'm talking about the Paragon NTFS for Mac. Any help is much appreciated.
I do have super duper installed and have a good copy of my OS; however, I do not want to restore since I also have a dual boot with Windows as well. I'm afraid if I use super duper to re-image back, it will erace my other Windows OS.
Thank you for any suggestions.
P.S.
Paragon's support is really bad.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and maymake the problem worse.

What is the best way to move all information from LR 3 to a new computer with LR 5

I want to move all the information (photo folder connections, metadata, tags, collections, etc) from LR 3 on my MacBook Pro to my new iMac LR5. My photo folders are on an external hard drive so I won't be changing the location of them per se

What is the best way to keep an iMac and a MacBook Pro synchronized?

I've got an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
I need them to be synchronized daily (Data, documents, contacts, etc.) but I can NOT use the Cloud because of customer preferences.
I've recently bought a Time Capsule.
Can this device be used to keep both computers synchronized in an easy and non time consuming way?
If not, is there any App like "Beyond Compare" for Mac?
Thanks.

Morning Acousticare,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Thunderbolt cables should not exceed three meters for maximum performance. The Apple Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2.0 m) is two meters in length.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

What is the best way to remove elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

What steps need to be taken to remove Adobe Elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

Use back up and restore from the Organizer menu. You are permitted two activations so no real need to deactivate the old copy unless you have installed it previously on another machine.
See these instructions for PSE6 and above.
