Uninstalling Apple Software.

Dec 23, 2010 11:42AM PST

I operate Windows xp on Gigabyte Motherboard, Intel Dual Core Processor. I want to uninstall the following software from my computer:
1. Apple Application support v 1.3.2 - 44.50MB
2. Apple Mobile Device Support v 3.2.0.47 - 20.13 MB
3. Apple Software update v 2.1.2.120 - 2.26 MB
4. Bonjour - 1.10 MB

These software show up on my Revo Uninstaller Pro. When I try to uninstall (e.g. Bonjour) a Windows Installer box appears which reads:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" with two buttons 'OK' and 'Cancel' after this line.
Below this, another paragraph says:
"Click 'OK' to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Bonjour.msi' in the box below"
Below, is a box titled "Use source:"
In front of it is a button 'Browse'

The same happens for the other three softwares when I try to uninstall them.

Please advice me how to completely remove the above mentioned softwares without harming my computer.
If you need any more details about my computer etc., please specify and I will provide the details.

With thanks,

To remove apple software update, I used the windows uninstaller. Not a third part software. Try it.... and you will see if it works.

I tried your suggestion, but get the same response from the Windows uninstaller too.

Download latest version from Apple. And then immediately after that uninstall these programs that come with it. Might very well work.
