How to remove CD Spin Doctor and/or perform a clean Install of Toast

This information is from Roxio:

To perform a clean install of Toast. Please follow all of the instructions below:

  1. Please go to the following folder locations:BE SURE TO REMOVE THE FILES FROM BOTH LOCATIONS

    Macintosh HD> Library> Preferences
    Macintosh HD> Users> your username> Library> Preferences:

    trash the following files:

    * com.roxio.Toast.plist
    * Roxio Toast Prefs
    * com.roxio.CDSpinDoctor6.plist
    * com.tivo.desktop.plist
    * com.roxio.mac2tivo.plist
    * and any other com.roxio.*   files located at either of these locations.

    BEFORE MOVING ON, please confirm that you have removed all the listed files from BOTH the above locations.

  2. You will also need to remove the Application Support. Please perform the following:Macintosh HD> Users> your username> Library> Application Support> Now trash the following folders:

    * CDSpinDoctor
    * Mac2Tivo
    * Roxio

  3. Trash the Toast Titanium folder(and all other Toast folders) from the applications folder and trash the Dock icon for Toast.  Now click Finder(in the menubar at the top of the screen) Then Secure Empty Trash.
  4. Once that is complete, run Disk Utility (located in Applications> Utilities folder) and Repair Disk Permissions on your main hard drive.
  5. Restart the computer and Reinstall using the Toast Titanium Disc or download file.
  6. If there is an update available for your version, you may install just the update alone from the following link:http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/toast/software_updates.html

Now here’s my information, to just uninstall CDSpin Doctor…

  • Perform Step 1, but just remove  com.roxio.CDSpinDoctor6.plist   from the preferences folder(s).
  • Perform Step 2, but just remove the CDSpinDoctor folder from the Application Support folder
  • Check for CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext in /Library/Extensions.  If it exists, then drag it to the Trash.
  • Secure Erase is *NOT* needed from Step 3, but do empty the trash.
  • For Step 4, repairing Disk Permissions shouldn’t be needed, but it would not cause any harm…
  • This should be all that is necessary to uninstall CD Spin Doctor…
