How to Remove Cooliris on a Mac

Posted Sep 16, 2008 // 4 comments

Cooliris is a new gadget that sound cool in somebody's blog review, but does not live up to the hype. Cooliris has been reported to significantly slow down Safari on Macs, specifically - when viewing FLASH videos. The real problem is - uninstalling it is extremely hard to figure out. So here is a quick tutorial on how to remove this weed from your computer and let Safari breath again:

• Close Safari
• Trash the Cooliris Previews folder found in $LIBRARY/InputManagers/)
• Trash the cooliris' .plugin file found in $LIBRARY/Internet Plugins

Depending on whether you installed Cooliris for just your user or system-wide, substitute $LIBRARY with /Users//Library or /System/Library. Hope this works for you, too.
