how do I delete an app on IMac

I downloaded a free app called Desktop Shelves Lite which I thought would help me to better organize my documents. I find it to confusing to use. Do you know how I delete it?
thanks

As a rule, if the application didn't come with an installer, you can just drag it to the trash. If it did come with an installer, it more than likely came with an uninstaller. If there is no uninstaller and there was an installer, try running the installer again and there will more than likely be an option to uninstall.
There are 3rd party apps out there such as the free 'apptrap' prefpane, that will catch most of the small remnants. This is not really necessary, but some people like to do that.

I had to install it but could not figure out if there was an installer or
not so - I just put it i the trash. That should work okay right?
Thanks for your help

As long as the install procedure was dragging it to the applications folder in the first place, that should be OK. If you had to double-click on a program to install the program, that was an installer in use.

I think it's pretty simple. Success begets success. Apple makes lots of money, and they spend liberally on customer support. We all know they had no obligation to replace your iPad for anything below the retail price. They had no obligation to replace my son's iPhone 4 when he dropped it and shattered the glass. To their credit, as an Apple customer since 1984, I think they've always tried to offer world-class support, but their success makes this unusual largesse possible. When the iPhone was a first generation product and Apple wasn't QUITE so flush with cash, my son kept his iPhone in his pocket on a rainy day; it failed, and the moisture sensor was triggered (color change at the headphone port). They didn't offer him any discount on a replacement unit (it was only a few months old at the time).
I think even more impressive are the experiences of Apple customers who call AppleCare tech support. Compare these to calling Seagate, or calling United Air Liines.
Three weeks ago United canceled the flight (three weeks in advance) from Las Vegas to San Francisco which "feeds" their flight to Kona, HI - and ONLY the iteration of that flight which happened to be the day my stepdaughter needed to take it to get to HI to be Maid of Honor in her sister's wedding. United's communication to us was an email "easy update" notification that the time and flight number for her Las Vegas departure had changed by one hour. However, their computers couldn't parse the fact that she would now arrive in San Francisco AFTER her connecting flight had departed. Their only "offer" (they never acknowledged that the bizarre booking they now had active for her was ludicrous) was a full refund of the purchase price. I suggested they provide her overnight accommodation at an SFO hotel: no deal. I suggested that they book her on another carrier: no deal. (Actually, they DID make one "offer." They scanned their computers, found that they had a flight originating in Las Vegas that could connect to one landing in Kahului, Maui, and that from there, she could rent a car and DRIVE to Kona (I'm REALLY not kidding).
It's harder to make money in the airline business than it is in the computer business, but United's behavior is the converse of Apple's, and failure begets failure. Seagate has the same problem.

Apple's customer experience is well known in industry. Nordstroms went to Apple to learn how they handle customer service and support. Nordstrom is known for there excellence in customer service, yet they turned to Apple to improve what was already great.
I've had great experiences with Apple support. I"ve had machines replaced, my last one on the very last day of it's Applecare contract. Pretty amazing, a 3 year old computer replaced with a brand new one. The fact is that the machine wasn't problematic for most of it's life. It had some problems 3 months prior to the end of the contract. It was just flaky. They had no obligation, yet the engineer made almost an immediate decision to ship me a new iMac.
Amazing stuff.

Transferring my photos to Portable Hard drive
Posted by: "harpangel36" harpangel36@yahoo.com harpangel36
Sat Nov 12, 2011 6:36 am (PST)
I would like to start taking some of my 9,000 photos off of my Nacbook Pro and transferring them to a portable hard drive as I anly have 30GB of space left on my laptop. I don't want to do it through iphoto.
1. If I just go into the finder/photos and drag them over, will that mess up iphoto?
2. Also, the photos that I have backed up in dropbox, can they be safely transferred and then deleted off the laptop?
3. I also have adobe bridge which I have never used. Is that a better way to do it?

I don't know what you mean. I simply go to the HD that is called macintosh,
and create the folder there along with all the others that I have. I did
mention this last night. I never put my folders on the desktop, and don't
know anything about Home, Library, or system folders.
In Snow leopard , I never had this problem with either the creation of
folders or with sending them to the trash. I see on line where a lot of
people are complaining about this, particularly sending the folders to the
trash. I saw where you could change having to use your password for sending
folders to the trash by typing in a comand in terminal, but just like some
others who tried it, it didn't work for me.
The strange thing is that I can create folders and trash them with no
password in my 3 other internal drives, just haven't tried it on my
external drives yet. I guess that is because the os is on that Macintosh
drive.
I am pretty new to the mac, and don't know it as well as I knew my pc. I
pretty much , up till this point, knew what I needed to do what I wanted to
do, but this has me stumped.

You should be creating the folder in your home directory somewhere, preferably in Pictures. Elsewhere, and you might be creating it within a system directory, thus the prompt for a password. 10.6 did not always do this. Lion is much more strict, with good reason, on this.

~/users/yourusername/ Where yourusername is the account on the machine you're using. Below that are folders entitled Documents,Downloads ,Pictures, Applications, amongst others. I generally keep Pictures or images in Pictures. You can create folders below that one without entering a password. Same with the other folders in your home directory.
In Finder, the home directory has a little icon of a home in the sidebar.

Below is a link to Apple Mac OS x 10.7 Help, on the Home folder.
http://docs.info.apple. com/article. html?path= Mac/10.7/ en/mchlp2603. html
BTW: When I was searching the Apple Support site I saw other interesting articles, like,
Where are my iTunes?
Where are my iPhoto?

Have a look on the menubar at Finder/preferences/sidebar. You should see what's turned on there or not. By default, in Lion, the home directory is indeed, switched off for sidebar display.
Sorry, I forgot that Lion handled this in this manner.

but not on mine. Maybe this link will tell me how to put it there.

Sat Nov 12, 2011 7:39 am (PST)
I just got an iPhone 4, I am very pleased with the battery life, it charges fast and holds a charge long, I watched a program on the 4s and it warned about poor battery life on the 4s, That was my main reason for choosing the 4, I will be interested.in the iPhone 5 when it comes out but will wait until I hear about the bugs before giving up my beloved iPhone 4,

Remove contact photo?
Posted by: "Joan Auclair" jauclair@snet.net typist37
Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:00 am (PST)
So recently, when I updated my iPhone to OS5, it insisted on syncing
all my contacts across all my devices, including my desktop. This has
been mostly fine, except that now, when I print e-mails, if they are
from one of my phone contacts, the picture I have associated with that
contact in my phone prints in the upper righthand corner of the e-mail.
Does anyone know how to get rid of that option? I have not been able
to find it.
Thanks,
Joan

As to the unsatisfactory answer from Apple, they will only say yes when it is a definitely rock solid yes. If it is a maybe, you will get an answer like that.
In fact, most other company employee will give you a similar response.
Sometimes, Apple employees will suggest something is possible and the customer to look elsewhere for a solution.
Which would you prefer, the bald-faced lied, "Oh yes, it will definitely do that (so I can make another big sale)."?
Or "You might be able to do that, depending on your skill level, and that you find the correct hardware/software, but not all on the market will work." condensed down to "Apple does not recommend..."
Apple says that my MBP can only use a maximum 4 GB of RAM, but almost every vendor will say 6 GB. But who has to provide support when it does not work? Apple.

Again, on a technical sense, you have to look at how the 6gb is addressed, there is bank switching involved as there is in most older Macs that can take 6gb as opposed to 4. There are drawbacks to that configuration. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Bank_switching
Bank switching can be considered a way of extending the address bus of a processor with some external register. For example, a processor with a 16-bit external address bus can only address 216 = 65536 memory locations. If an external latch was added to the system, it could be used to control which of two sets of memory devices, each with 65536 addresses, could be accessed. The processor could change which set is in current use by setting or clearing the latch bit….
