Uninstalling on a MAC

Postby knappmusicstudio1 » Tue Feb 21, 2023 4:56 am

So this seems to be a problem. I've seen multiple posts about this and no real answers. I've emailed support and no answer.
(The default folder is in the Mac Documents folder, which would be fine, but if you have iCloud backup on, it suddenly is backing up all IK products, which could be 100 gig or more. Ridiculous.)
No big deal tho, right? Just change the default folder and migrate all the software over. But....how do you uninstall or reinstall? No uninstall option within the product manager, no uninstall dmg files. Any attempt to reinstall within the product manager results in a JAVA error.
Any insight? I guess just manually delete everything, which just seems wrong.

Love IK. But this needs attention.

I think that the installer downloaded by the IK Product Manager includes an uninstaller program.

(On Windows, you do it via Add/Remove Programs).

Not seeing an uninstall option in the installer... or the product manager. Just an option to unauthorize. I want to remove the software and get hard drive space back.

Same problem, and I can't get a direct response from support.
Did you ever find an easy way to uninstall and remove or even a way in general?
I want to remove all of IK 100% from my Macbook.
It really should not be this difficult!

Any progress or info here? I just installed the new product manager and still don't see an optioon to uninstall or re-install. It would be really great if there was a "move content" or "move library" option like Steinberg has. I have Total Studio Max 3.5 and in the process of trying to move all my sound content to an external drive, it ended up with reinstalling over a TB worth of stuff for some reason (as I undertstand it, TS Max should only be about 470GB or so).

I'd love to just wipe everything and re-install everything cleanly, but there just doesn't seem to be a way to do it. I'm on an M1 MacBook Pro.
