Any reason not to trash old updating software?

My utilities folder contains ipod updating software going back to 2003. Is there any reason not to send the old versions to the trash? It takes up a fair amount of space.
Thanks.

You may want to keep the very last version of the stand-alone iPod Updater app. There may be some rare case where the update/restore feature integrated into iTunes does not work properly, and you want to try it with the old updater. Note: Although iTunes gets regular updates, the iPod software version for the old iPods (installed by iTunes for update/restore) remains the same.
Of course, if you no longer have the iPod(s) from that time, it would serve no purpose. iPods that were release after that point would not work with the old updater.

Any reason NOT to update from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1? I'm scared.

I have an iPhone 4, and I am running iOS 4.3.5.
I am reluctant to update because everything is working fine.
Any reasons to update?

I see a couple of APPS that I have that will no longer work unless I update. But that's not a big deal at this point.
I notice that some of the graphical interface has a different look (such as the toggle switches).
Thanks!

A few reasons I think iOS 4 is better than 5:
* Resource management (iOS 5 takes up more space on your phone)
* Loss of iPod icon, now split into Videos and Music
* If you have a Bose Sound-dock, some report it no longer works
* Battery is very hit or miss. No major degregation on my iPhone, but I have noticed it.
If you are on the brink, use TinyUmbrella and make SHSH blobs of your iOS version. Then you can swap (downgrade) iOS versions. Note that it isn't supported by Apple and you'll need help elsewhere to do this.
(I am a fan of exploits, so the average user need not worry about the above)
I updated to iOS 5 because of Reminders, Weather, and iMessage. Probably the best reasons to update.

TS1702 I have the iPhone 3S and have the update to ios6 on my phone. Any reason NOT to update? I've heard there are issues ...

I have the iPhone 3gs. Any reason NOT to update to iOS6? I've heard there were glitches.

The iOS 6 is great, but really is there some issues with some people. This is your choice, but i would suggest to update only when the new version of the iOS 6 (probably the 6.0.1) comes out.

The option your looking for is available with iOS 5 or later. You need to update using iTunes on a Mac or PC.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connect the phone to the Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to update to the most recent version

Try to drag an app into folder and then drag it out.
Or reset you iPhone. Hold down Power and Home buttons until Apple logo appears. Release and wait to reboot.

Any reason not to set up Hotmail account on ipod touch?

I have just purchased a new iPod Touch. My main mail account is with Apple Mail, and I have a mobileme account. I also have a free Hotmail account? Is there any reason not to set up this Hotmail account on my touch, along with my Mail account - glitches, conflicts, etc. I can live without it if necessary. If no problems, can you point me to a step-by-step instruction guide to set up the Hotmail account? Thanks!

You can use the web ... using Safari - go to www.hotmail.com - this should bring up a mobile version of the login page. Log in to Hotmail to see your mail. If you don't logout of Hotmail, but simply hit the touch Home button you will be able to recheck you mail just by launching Safari and selecting the pages icon (bottom right) and then selecting the Hotmail page. You will see a Refresh option (or you can touch the clockwise pointing arrow in the URL line).

Any reason not to buy a Gen4 now?

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new iPad. Aside from foregoing the upgrades, any reason NOT to try to find a good deal on a Gen4? They are starting to trickle out there.
Thanks!

We have ipad 2's 64 gb from the Apple refurb store for over well over a year and they have been great. We bought them at $499. and from the time the quickly discontinued ipad 3 came out, the price has not changed.
So it's sort of a guessing game.
If you're looking for a good deal, you might want to look in the Apple Certified Refurbished store.
A new ipad 4 16 gb is $499. - was $419. in refurb store and as of the announcement for the Air it is now $379.
A new ipad 4 32 gb is $599. - was $499. in refurb store and is now $449.
etc.
Those are pretty good deals.
Each comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, packaged as a new one with cable in the box, and has a full one year warranty. Please note they come and go in the refurb store. There usually are more 16 gb and 64 gb in the store, so when you are sure and have shopped around, buy it quickly after you make your decision.
Hope this helps.

Just purchased 2 new 4 GB memory sticks. Any reason not to reformat them. They are most likely going to be FAT 32 drives.?

You can certainly do as the others said and just use them. That doesn't answer the question, though.
Whether you reformat depends on how you want to use it. If you want it to ever be used on a PC, you'll want to leave it as-is (or reformat as FAT32 if it's something else). If you only want to use it on a Mac, and don't want to deal with some of the annoyances of a FAT32 volume, then you can certainly reformat it as Mac OS Extended.

Any Reason NOT to Upgrade?

I immediately upgraded my mini to Leopard the moment Leopard was released, and am enjoying it. But my primary computer is my 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. I chose NOT to upgrade it to Leopard immediately: I needed it to be "stable" and I give Keynote presentations weekly, and just didn't want to upset my routine. Also, some of my favorite utilities weren't immediately Leopard-capable...
I just upgraded the 100GB drive to a 200GB drive, and I can "feel" a performance improvement...boot-up time is reduced, and things just feel quicker.
ANYWAY - Is there any reason for me now NOT to upgrade to create a complete bootable backup and ARCHIVE & INSTALL Leopard onto my MBP?
Thanks for your advice.

Put the old drive into an external Firewire enclosure. Install Leopard on it. Update Leopard to 10.5.2 and update your third-party software. Run your MBP from the external drive for a week or so doing your typical stuff. If you have any problems it's simple enough to boot from your old system on the internal drive. If all works out OK then you can safely upgrade your old system or clone the external one to the internal drive.
This is precisely how I do all my system upgrades. Saves a lot of time and headaches.

Rverese proxy sugguestions - any reason not to use ISA2006 anymore?

This is a silly question, but im just looking to publish meeting content outside the organization to external users, is there any reason for me not to use the old reverse proxy i was using for OCS2007 R2 which is ISA2006 ? i know its out of support and
all of that but fundamentally it should do what i want it to do should it not? or are there any gaping security holes in the product i could drive a truck through?

I believe ISA2006 will work for simply publishing Lync Web Services. (there wasn't too much of a change in how the publishing works from ISA 2006 to TMG that I can recall.)
I am not aware of any giant security holes in the product, mainstream support did end in 2012 and I haven't seen any updates beyond 2009.
A couple other alternatives if you don't have an appliance you can use (i.e Kemp/Citrix/F5 Loadbalancer) are:
IIS ARR http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/02/19/using-iis-arr-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2013.aspx
Windows 2012 R2 WAP http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2013/10/29/how-to-publish-lync-server-2013-web-services-with-windows-server-2012-r2-web-application-proxy.aspx
In fact: Microsoft actual suggest that you can use ISA here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx "You
can use Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 SP1, or Internet Information Server 7.0, 7.5 or 8.0 with Application Request Routing (IIS ARR) as a reverse proxy."

Any reason NOT to create subfolders under user folder?

I'm switching over from a 5+ year old MacBook Pro to a new one. I do a lot of audio recording and production work. On my old machine, which was my first Mac, I created a subfolder 'Recordings' under my user folder (let's say it's named "bob"). I don't remember why I did that. Probably I was thinking well, this stuff isn't documents.
On the new machine, running Yosemite, I discovered that Apple in it's wisdom had made my "bob" user folder hidden, which meant I had to go figure out how to show it because there are some audio plugin settings files I needed to add manually from the old machine into my user/ Library area. Did that.
BUT... I'm wondering if there is some reason why Apple changed the user folder to hidden (other than "you dumb users don't need to know about this stuff"), and specifically, if I should avoid creating any subfolders under my user folder? I would really rather not have my 'Recordings' folder inside the Documents folder, but I guess I can if there's some good reason not to create subfolders under 'bob'.
Thanks in advance.

They didn't make it hidden (like the Library sub folder), but I believe it is no longer included in the sidebar by default. Probably for the reason you state. As you've found, you can add it back through Finder Preferences menu.

First go to www.nokia.com/softwareupdate and enter your product code (should be found on the back of the device) and check if there is any new SW upgrade for your phone.
If no, then NSU might not get this.
