Title: NASnavigator 2 uninstall
Post by: ladalske on February 09, 2009, 11:18:50 PM
   I installed nasnavigator 2 unintentionally.  How do I uninstall it?  I have a MAC with OS X version 10.5.6.  Every few minutes the nasnavigator 2 icon shows up on the application dock and then disappears.  What is the issue.  I can not find what is making that show up.

Drag the icon from the Applications folder to the Trash.

   I cannot uninstall NAS Navigator 2, either. I dragged the application to the trash, but it continues to appear regularly in the Dock. I then tried using another app designed to remove all traces of uninstalled applications (AppTrap) by reinstalling NAS Navigator 2 and uninstalling it again. Didn't work. Now multiple instances of NAS Navigator are left, and it is a little unsettling and annoying because the main application itself is gone. Activity Monitor shows periodic appearances of these instances, which then vanish. Using HS-DTGL/R5, Firmware: 2.02. Mac Pro early 2008 with 10.5.6, connected through a wired Buffalo BroadStation router. Thank you for any help you can offer.

   I have the exact same problem. I trashed the main application and I'm stuck with this app occassionally popping-up in my dock. Seems to try and launch and then fails. It's extremely irritating to have this still happening on my system -- feels like my laptop has been sullied. I'm running OSX 10.5.6. Please let me know how to remove ALL traces of this program. Thanks.

Argh.. I get this problem too.  Nas Navigator keeps popping up and running in the dock for me too.

 

OS X 10.5.6, Nas Navigator2, v2.16

 

Anyone have any idea how to kill this thing?

I think I fixed it.. I removed it from the StartupItems directory.

 

Check:

/Library/StartupItems/

/System/Library/StartupItems/

Thank you very much, synistyr. Trashing that folder enabled me to uninstall this program.

Now I guess I need to find and reinstall the previous version of NAS Navigator -- the version that does not regularly interrupt me by launching itself. Unless there's a better utility out there.

Here's to a "NAS Navigator 3" one day, without this bug.

Many thanks synistyr, this worked for me:

The app you want to remove is here: Library/PrivilegedHelperTools. Had to chase it down with Activity Monitor. Hope this helps everyone.

I had the same issue with removing and did the following

 

sudo find / -name 'NAS*' -print

 

This command showed up various files with a "Nas" prefix and led me too '/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/NasNavigator2.app'. I removed this directory and in my case that solved the problem.

 

Hope that helps
