Mac Update

[mac@stairworks]

I recently updated my 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard to El Capitan and I want to clean out my older versions of Vectorworks (2011-2014) that will not run on El Capitan.

Does anyone know the most efficient and safest way to remove these older applications?

 

Thank you

Steve

Honestly, AppCleaner is probably your best best for quick and easy, the download links are the column on the right:

You can find the manual instructions for removing the older versions here if you really want, but those were before the uninstaller so its tedious:

Thank you Jim. I guess I should have looked through the KBase first. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

I have to ask regarding compatibility. I have Service Select, but I'm somewhat strapped to InteriorCad, which currently only performs (for what I need) at VW2014 levels. That being said, my OS is currently El Capitan (10.11.6) and I run 2014 without a hitch. I guess I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to be compatible?

What problems have you been running into?

[Chris Fleming]

None. I was really curious about the OP's inference that VW2014 isn't compatible with El Capitan. I wasn't aware of any potential conflict, and haven't had any, so I was curious.

Maybe 2014 will run on El Capitan. I just got my computer back so I haven't had a chance to test it.
