I posted this in the Networking forum and didn't get any responses. Hopefully someone here knows.
I have an Alltel Pantech UM175AL usb 3g modem that I can't get to work with my iMac. I had previously installed the QuickLink software included on the usb device but I "uninstalled" it by deleting the program a few months ago because I didn't want to use it anymore. Turns out we signed a year contract so it's going to be a waste if I can't get this thing to work. I plugged it in the other day and my iMac doesn't recognize that it's there.
I found the manual online and it says that one cannot manually reinstall program, to first uninstall through the program, reinsert the device, and the computer should recognize it as new and install the drivers/program automatically.
Well...problem is, I didn't delete it through the program. I just dragged the program to the trash. I also deleted the Cache files related to it. I figure there are some files that still need to be deleted for it to be completely uninstalled. My iMac doesn't even recognize that it is plugged in. Where else could files associated with this program be? I've tried spotlight but it doesn't bring up anything (probably because I don't know what to search for).
