For some unknown reason I’m unable to uninstall Maya 2013 through the Terminal on a mac. Never had a problem before but now I do.
When entering the command “adlmreg -u S 2013.0.0.F” I get a return of “-bash: adlmreg: command not found”. My product key is correct and I get this return consistently, even when in “Root”. Can I remove the necessary files manually and if so what are they and where do they reside on a mac?

try whereis adlmreg

Sounds like the adlmreg command is not in the path. You'll have to go find it.
Not a mac guy but this is what I would do on Linux.

It might also be the flavostram or the capogen. Sometimes those go bad and need to be reinstalled.

Confused? Checking the linkage between the megaflurp and the flux capacitor in the hydraspamer will show you exactly what I'm talking about.
