Removing iMac preinstalled Apps??
Hello all,
Can you guys help me to understand how I can remove all of the stuff on my new iMac that I simply do not need on my PT DAW? Stuff like Garageband, Chess, IDVD, iTunes etc...all the Apple preinstalled stuff....the files of which take up considerable space and memory. I need this for PT only... Is this possible? Thanks in advance Tony.

Re: Removing iMac preinstalled Apps??
Sure it´s possible!
Three ways: 1.: simply delete the applications 2.: (better) use AppCleaner which also deletes other files related to the applications. 3.: (best) Do a clean install of OSX where you choose which applications you need or not.

clausiii thanks. I have looked but there is no OS disk in the box! I am guessing I should have one there in order to reinstall Lion?
Sorry for being dumb....new Mac user... Tony.

ah ok, Lion! There is no install DVD! Apple doesn´t press them anymore.
