Automate uninstalling JRE 7 update 60 x586 and x64 on the same device
Hi
we have a large number of devices on our estate that have both the x64 and x586 versions of Java installed on them. I want to uninstall both versions but there only appears to be one uninstall key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
To make things more complex this is sometimes for the x64 bit version and sometimes for the x586 version, so simply running msiexec /X {GUID} will only ever uninstall one version.
Can anyone suggest a way to guarantee getting rid of both, that I can roll out to hundreds of Pc's?
Cheers
Alex

I get an "unable to connect" message yet I can connect and use Internet Explorer with no problem. I tried updating to Firefox4 and still get the same message. What do I do?

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

Yosemite updates both available and complete at the same time
I can open the app store and see the pending updates and click on them but it says "Installed" even when they're not. Furthermore, some actually are installed (like 10.10.1) and others are not (like Safari 8.0.2). After clicking on an update it says installed in the history below but also still stays in the available list regardless of which actual status is true (hedging their bets?). I went through the old usual suspect places looking for package receipts but other than in my local App Store folder in Application Support there don't seem to be current receipts, or at least moving them has no effect (the history file has an effect on AppStore.app and removes the history but the problem remains and it gets remade and updated when I try an install again. This is now happening for all new Apple installs.
I have tried looking for receipts and tried reinstalling Yosemite to no avail.
It would be nice if I could clear the completed updates and actually install the ones that aren't. But I'd be perfectly happy to reset it so that it just tries to update anything.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Restart the computer. If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
Step 3
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
Here, * stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Step 4
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions. -

See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

Photoshop Elements 11 and 12 on the same device
I recently bought Photoshop Elements 11. Now I bought a new Canon EOS camera, that included Photoshop Lightroom 5 and Premiere Elements 12. My Problem now is. The DVD also contains Photoshop Elements 12 with access only to the organizer but not to the photo editor (there is no serial number). So now I have Photoshop Elements 12 but for editing Photos Photoshop Elements 11. Not very satisfying. How can I get a licence number for Photoshop Elements 12 without again buying the Software.
Medops20 please see Install rollback and Shared Technologies | Windows for information on how to resolve the current error.

Can sync to mac and windows with the same device
I just bought my partner an iphone, and he wants to know if once activated through itunes, will the phone sync to any computer regardless of the operating system as long as itunes is installed. We have Macs at home but he has windows in the office.
iphonecuty...I connect & sync my iPhone with an iMac at home and a Windows PC at work. However, the work PC only syncs my calendar and contacts; all of the iTunes content is synched only from the iMac. Works fine this way.

Are older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?
If you open the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app then the available Java Virtual Machines will be listed. I have a newer mac with 10.6.8 that has latest Java 6 version installed on it and an older macbook pro with the lastest Java 6 Virtual Machine version and the previous Java 6 Virtual Machine version .

The iTunes update is causing a problem on PC's resulting in an error pointing to MSVRC80.DLL. I called Apple Support they blame Microsoft.....(What a surprise!).
I did a second update on another pc and it produced the same problem with the same DLL file. Apple still says it's not their problem. Unfortunately until they acknowledge the problem and correct it iTunes is no longer functional. That's too bad but Windows Media Player works fine.
Apple, own up to the problems you create. Don't pull an Obama!
When enough people have the problem it will force Apple to correct it. Everyone on a PC using iTunes who try the update will have this problem.Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

On my ipod touch, i can't seem to get the imessage app.. I have updated my itunes and even restored the ipod to factory settings with the latest update. Maybe the ipod is too old? Is that even a thing? Is there another app I can download to have access to my contacts with imessage?
That comes with iOS 5 (Settings>General>About>Version) and only the 3G abd later iPods can go to iOS 5 or later
