tkdigicom Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 When I try to uninstall 2.0 I get the error message'The item “BitTorrent Sync” can’t be moved to the Trash because some of its plugins are in use.' I need to uninstall because it doe not work at all! Nothing 2.0 syncs! I've been using BTS since the 1 alpha, and was very happily using 1.4. I had to add BTS to a new machine today and it wouldn't sync anything! I upgraded my other machines from 1.4 which was still working to 2.0 and not nothing works! And not I can't even uninstall. Beta>Public And to think I was going to pay for Pro, not because I need it, but because I wanted to support a great app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Make sure BitTorrent Sync does not run upon boot by going into the System Prefs -> Users & Groups -> Click on your account -> right windows click on "Login Items" tab and make sure to remove BitTorrent Sync if you see it there. Restart your machine and try de-installing the application by dragging it into the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niklas Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I have the same problem and got the same result when I restarted my Mac with Sync not autostarting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattoony Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Had the same problem, can't remember exactly what i did & its difficult now to recreate without re-uninstalling.If i remember right, you need to open Activity Monitor.Select the option "Memory" from the top menu.Then type into the search bar sync.I then force quit "Sync Finder Extension" & "CMFSyncAgent". (to force quit select the top right button with the X symbol) Regards, p.s. quit btsync first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
