How do you upgrade Clip Browser on Mac
Hello
I am new to Mac and wish to upgrade Clip Browser to 2.00.01 but first of all I need to uninstall 2.0.0. Can someone please tell me how to uninstall 2.0.0? Thanks Malcolm |

Go to your applications folder, grab the file Sony Clip Browser and drag it to the trash folder on the dock.
BTW edited to add: Welcome to the wonderful world of the Mac.

I use an app called "cleanapp" which detects all related files to an app and makes sure they are all put into the trash folder. Google for CleanApp 3. Hope this helps. Pe. |

Thank you for the replies.
I thought it was a case of dragging it to Trash but others told me it was not always so easy. Peter, thank you for the advice. I must admit I am somewhat surprised that the installation/un-installation of programs is not as straight forward as Mac fans have always claimed it to be. |

Why to use CleanApp
Malcom,
Mac-wise, un-install is a very easy process... provided that the program really sticks to Mac rules. However in some cases the programmer decided to follow rules that one might call more win-wise. In that case support files are distributed 'all over the place' which is not bad in itself. However, supposed a new install does not overwrite old support files, you may run into trouble afterwords. So using an app like CleanApp is more of a measure to prevent such trouble then a nessecity. So, blame the programmer, not your mac. And as Sony apps come from 'the other' OS, I'm rather be more careful then not. |
