Bug:Java install should remove old uninstall entries when updating in-place

Assume I have installed an (old) version of Java (under 64bit Win7)..
Now I download a newer/newest version of Java JDK and start installation process.
When prompted I tell the procedure to install JAva JDK in the SAME directory as the previous version.
So the old version does NOT exist any more afterwards.
Everything works fine except the fact that afterwards there is still the uninstall entry of the old version alive.
Java installation procedure should automatically remove these old uninstall entries.
I guess Oracle Java development team thinks users will install new Java versions always in different directories (which is not a must).
I think this is a bug or at least a feature request.
Where can I officially tell oracle to fix it?
Is there an official bug/feature request form?
Thx
Peter

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Hi,
You might want to look in your control panel for 'Java' icon. It should give you an option to enable java plugin into your browser. Let me know if you still face the issue.
Thanks!

I cannot install or remove old itunes, install is looking for an msi

When I try to upgrade to lates Itunes or Quicktime, I get error message saying it cannot find an msi on a network drive. Same error message if I try to uninstall the existing itunes.

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.
After doing the steps above, stand by and others may be able to assist you.

Remove old autocomplete entries in Messages (iOS 6)

I have a friend who changed her phone number recently. When I start to send her a text/iMessage, her old number still shows up in the autocomplete list when I start typing her name, even though I've removed it from her contact in the Contacts app. How can I get rid of the old entry?
Note this is in the iPhone messages app (the behavior does not duplicate on the iPad messages app, nor in Mail...just in Messages on the iPhone).
My iPhone is a 4S running iOS 6.0.2.

one more important information here
Only those messages are not being displayed which you ONLY received. That means any concerstaion between you & your friends are readable after upgrading to iOS 6. But if you just received any message & did not reply , those messages you are not able to view after upgrading to iOS 6.

Can you remove old versions of iPod updater from your PC?

I was attempting to clean up my PC and remove unwanted software and I noticed in add/remove programs that all of the iPod updater versions I have ever installed are still on my PC even though I only need the latest version. I tried to remove the older versions and my PC won't let me. Can you remove the older updater versions from your PC and if so, how do I go about doing this without getting an error message?

It gives me an error transfer or something like that. There is no stand-alone uninstall - when you go through add/remove, the installshield starts and then I get that error. I was thinking about just deleting it via windows explorer but I don't want to create more problems. I just think it's silly to have it on my PC if it's never going to be used again.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

DVD drive removed on Asus computer when updating itunes

I want to delete and, reinstall iTunes because I am getting a blank screen when trying to access the iTunes store. My DVD drive was deleted from my Asus PC before when doing an update to itunes. Anyone had this problem before. Happened a couple of years ago.

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

Pacman should run `systemd daemon-reload` when updating .service files

Every time pacman updates a service like ngingx; I would like to restart that service to propagate the changes. However; systemd always complains that the service file was updated. It would be nice if pacman would do this for me. Is it possible to extend pacman in userland, so I can execute this command whenever a .service file is touched? Or should I write a pacman wrapper that uses inotify to detect this?
Anyone knows if this is currently possible? I'm also interested in feedback; I'll post a feature-request on the bugtracker depending on your replies

You could have systemd watch for changes to a relevant file or directory and restart the service. Not as neat but possibly useful if you haven't thought of it already.

How to remove Apple ID password when updating apps?

This may be a stupid question but my iPhone asks me for a password for every App I update unless I click Update All then it will only request my apple id once.
Anyway, how can I get rid of this?

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to find it myself, settings - general - restrictions was turned on and it stated require password immediately.

Oracle Linux Remove Old Kernels

I was just wondering if Oracle Linux by default removes old outdated kernels when I run 'yum update' command? I see new kernels getting installed consistently however I never see any kernels being removed like I expect to see in RHEL as a new kernel is downloaded. Is there a way to see which kernels are installed on my Oracle Linux 6.3 server and how I can remove them so they don't clutter my Grub screen and system?

You can check the grub boot menu, which normally has an entry for all installed kernels:
<pre>
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
</pre>
Or query the installed kernel packages:
<pre>
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
</pre>
To remove a kernel, use the YUM utility:
<pre>
# yum remove kernel-package
</pre>
For instance:
<pre>
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
kernel-uek-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
kernel-2.6.18-274.el5
kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.el5
kernel-2.6.18-308.el5
kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
# uname -r
2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
# yum remove kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
</pre>
The example above is for OL 5, but works in OL 6 as well.

About Java install

Hey y'all!
Now I have some Questions.
1 : My OS is 10.7.3. I'm tryin' to install a Java from 10.7 update, then it told me I already installed a new version and stop installing.
Is that mean if I don't do some special work, I can only install current or newer version of Java?
2 : I'm new on Mac. Never seen a Java solo update in "software update". But I saw Java install pkg on Mac "Support Download".
Is Java solo update happens on "software update"?
3 : My OS is a brand new 10.7.3, never run a Java app. I know the Java is not actually installed, just a shortcut of Java Install.
Now I do the software update to 10.7.4. When it's done. Do I have a already installed Java? Or let's say "Does the System Update include Java Install packeg?"
4 : Is the download address of Install packegs in Support Download will be failure? I see only the newest software on it.
Thanks for reading my questions.

The latest Java update for Lion is Java for OS X Lion 2012-004. All Java components EXCEPT the Java Runtime Environment are installed by default. To install the JRE, launch the Java Preferences.app in /Utilities and follow the instructions.

Should you remove old versions (CS5) before you install creative cloud?

Should you remove old versions before you install creative cloud? Right now I have CS4 and CS5 on my system. Iwould like to remove them before I move forward.

Rod as Badavaraj indicated there is no requirements to keep the older versions installed. If you have particular compatiblity needs with plug-ins or working collaboratively with other Adobe users using those versions however you may want to keep the older software titles installed.

I've 2 versions of Java installed! How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?

This is where I'm at
* Updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
* Installed Oracle Java 7 update 7 dmg
* Misread an out of date OS X Daily blog where I got this Terminal command java -version. It lead me to think Java 7 wasn't installed
* Installed Apple Java 6 via the Java Prefs app. Thought this would somehow lead to a Java 7 upgrade along the way.
* Realised that Oracle Java 7 was installed fine the first time, but java -version doesn't work with it !!
* Now I have 2 versions of Java installed!
* I reinstalled Java 7 (this time using 7 update 10) hoping it would remove Apple's Java 6 but it didn't remove it.
*For some reason too the old Java Prefs app has been automatically deleted too, so I can't switch Apple Java 6 off.
Confirmation that I have 2 Java versions installed
If I type the terminal command java -version it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open LibreOffice/Preferences/Java it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open Play Station 3 Media Server it says it's using Apple Java 6.
If I open some other Java .jar apps like JOSM it says it's using Oracle Java 7
Oracle has a FAQ that recomnds deleteing old versions of Java, but very helpfully only gives instructions for Windows.
How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?
Thanks

Reinstall the OS … meaning reinstall OS X?! Is that not a bit over the top?
>"BTW, do note that all you're really doing is changing the Java Runtime Environment component and not Java."
At this stage I don't have a clue what I doing !!
In the past week and a half I have had a belly-full of Java name permutations. What kind of sick, twisted mind came up with Java naming scheme: Just take the word Java and append two or three letters to it using every permutation possible, throw in a few numbers for good measure, and then when discussing it just use the generic term Java… that'll really catch 'em out.
…Java SE, Jave RE, Java JDK,Java Platform, Apple Java 6, Oracle Java 7, Java 1.6.0_27, Java 1.7.0_10, Java 6, Java 7, ….. not to mention Java FX, Java DB, Java ME, Java EE, Java DST…
