It sounds like you opened the Growl disk image, not the Growl preference pane. The preference pane is in System Preferences, which you can get to through the Apple menu. > I tried to eject the disk and it said I had to close applications to eject. > So I closed all the open applications and I still couldn't eject the disk. You probably opened GrowlTunes on the disk image. Use its status item (the headphones icon in the menu bar) to quit it. The other application on the disk image, HardwareGrowler, would cause this as well, but it shows up in the Dock, so it's more obvious and I expect you would have quit it among all the other applications. > Then I decided to uninstall and I opened that and got a message saying > uninstall successful. But the disk image was still there as were the files. The uninstaller only uninstalls Growl; it doesn't do anything to the disk image. Indeed, it can't, since it's *on* the disk image. > So I tried to follow the manual uninstall procedures but there is no growl in > my system preferences … Because you uninstalled it. > So I just want this off of my mac. You already achieved that. All that remains is to delete the disk image, which you should be able to do since you restarted (which would have quit any applications, including GrowlTunes, that you had running from the disk image). > I never installed it to begin with so I don't understand why I was getting > ghostly messages to upgrade...
