how do you uninstall programs on mac osx 10.5 leopard?
ive just installed some programs on my new ibook but because im so new to it, i dont know how to do some basics such as un-installing programs.

also does anyone know where i can find information about what mac keys represent compared to windows keys, as the keyboard is a little different too and some keys i dont know what they do!
in mac os x 10.5 leopard (and previous versions like 10.4 tiger and 10.3 panther) there are several ways to un-install applications.
heres a couple
a. simply drag the application to the trash, (you might need to enter your password) and empty the trash. bam! thats all!

or

you can download a program that completely erases the entire program from your system (because the programs sometimes leave something called preference files, in your system, so when their installed again, you'll have them back the same way it was before)

b. download the application "app delete" (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31123), download it, install it, and open it. *it will open, and all you have to do is drag any application you want to uninstall to the icon in the dock. (you might have to enter your password), and thats it!

as for keyboard shortcuts, i know, they can get confusing, but its really just down to how much you use them.

here is the direct apple link to their keyboard shortcuts for mac os x

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459

lets take a shortcut for example.. such as this one 

option-shift-command-delete - which empties the trash without you needing to confirm it (it'll just empty it immediately)

this is the keyboard layout on mac's
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/hardware/developer\_notes/macintosh\_cpus-g4/12inchpowerbookg4/art/040945021715\_06.gif

option - is the 'alt' button on your apple keyboard.
shift - is the 'shift' button on your apple keyboard
command- is the command (is an infinity symbol) / apple logo (apple logo may or may not be there, depending on the keyboard you are using, but its still the same)
delete - delete key lol

press them together, and presto! trash is emptied!

theres the quick guide!

=)

-hope i helped

I don't have Alt on a Mac - and I'm only deleting a copy The Alt on a Mac is the Option button — and I don't understand the "only deleting a copy" remark, as if you select a copy (or any photo, really) then the Splat Delete causes the selected photo(s) to be deleted. if you need osx get a mac. getting osx on a pc is very hard and/or illegal. it will also not run as well as it will on a real mac. so my vote is for the macbook pro. if lync was installed with office, you can use the office customization tool (oct) to remove lync.  in effect, it is like uninstalling office and re-installing office without lync/skype.edit:  

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-of-the-office-customization-tool-for-click-to... 3 ways u could do it:



1) make a shortcut and place it in the cab file generated, then edit the setup file and add the path to it and it will unzipp to the desktop. Drawbacks: if they choose to install your app in another folder, the shortcut wont work.



2) When the program is run make it add a shortcut to the desktop (i lost the code but if i find it ilol post it.



3) dont use the pakaging and deployment sytem, use another install creator eg Install Creator Pro. Drawbacks: you will probably have to use the pakage and deployment wizard to find out where the files need to go and then put them into the install creator manually.



hope that helps. it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help! thanks guys for your advice.

the problem was the order which i was doing things in. it was much simpler than everything i posted before. i summarize it all for everybody wanting to remove swap partition after upgrading to fedora 33.

boot up your computer normally.

disable swap partition:

# swapo… You can use third party defragmentation tools that have central management consoles to manage the tools, monitor systems and report on fragmentation levels. These tools have the ability to start defragmentation based on a schedule or a fragmentation threshold level (tool dependent). What they also do well is provide reporting on how things are going on the systems you monitor fragmentation wise.


Here is a comparison page for some of the major defragmentation applications:  

[Comparison of defragmentation software](http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_defragmentation_software)


The big three from when I did some research several years ago:  

PerfectDisk  

O&O Defrag  

Diskeeper


Keep in mind that Windows includes basic defragmentation. You can schedule this using TaskSchedule. Basic defragmentation does not defragment page files, hyberfiles and the like. There are some other free tools available that can do various items like page files. This all requires you to piece together and and devise your own monitoring. If you need reporting and monitoring purchasing it is always simpler.


If you can justify the cost of a managed defragmentation program, these will all do a good job. Test each to see how they impact system performance in your environment while defragmenting as well as their management and reporting capabilities.


  

First, don’t wait for your hard disk drive to be hardly used before defragging it. You have to maintain a certain defragmentation period as part of the computer hardware maintenance for your computer system. Hi


Normal behavior is that when you are using a tool, and then press and hold a shortcut key while you use another tool, Photoshop will jump back to the first tool when you release the key.


 


I watched your video, and this is not what is happening to you — you are releasing the keys. Two thoughts for trouble-shooting purposes:


* Can you try another keyboard?
* Can you try with a mouse?
* Have you tried resetting Preferences? This is different from uninstalling and reinstalling. Go to Prefs > General and click Reset Preferences on Quit.


Maybe another volunteer will have other ideas if these don't work.

is there another way to zip off a chapter with the new version of bookdown? alternatively, how would i revert to the previous version?

this is a pretty specific use case and don't know yet about. so i don't think you can "zip" the way you want

i do reali… the softest way to power down the system is using the gui or:

systemctl poweroff

the second one is:

shutdown --halt now

and then pressing the power button lightly.
