Can I Delete Previous Versions of iPod Updater from my Powerbook?

Hello,
I am running out of room (quickly!) on my harddrive of my Powerbook. So I decided to do some spring cleaning and delete old and unnecessary files and applications from my Powerbook.
I noticed under the Utilities section, there are about 6 versions of the "iPod Updater". Can I safely delete all prior versions (except the most recent) from my computer without any negative consequences? Will I still be able to use iTunes, my iPod, etc without problems? Are these old versions not needed?
The versions currently on my harddrive are:
iPod Updater 2006-01-10
iPod Updater 2005-03-23
iPod Updater 2004-11-15
iPod Updater 2004-08-06
iPod Updater 2004-04-28
iPod Software 2.1 Updater
Thank you!

If your iPod is working normally, you don't need to keep old versions of the iPod updater around; the most recent one should be kept. If you delete one of the updaters, it is safe to delete the accompanying receipt from the /Library/Receipts/ folder.

  • 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.

  • Previous versions of iPod Updater

    Is it possible for me to remove previous versions of iPod Updater?
    I have 3 or 4 versions dating back to 2004.

    I am in "add or remove programs" I have 3 programs named
    iPod for Windows 2005-1-11
    iPod for Windows 2005-10-12
    iPod for Windows 2006-3-23
    Can they be removed as well?

  • Deleting previous versions of iPod and iTunes software

    I'm trying to clean house. Is it safe for me to delete the older versions of iPod and iTunes software that are on my C drive? I would probably die if I lost or misplaced my music files! Thanks.

    I see you are a Windows user. There is an entire forum area devoted to Windows users:

  • Can I restore previous version of an app from iTunes backup?

    I updated an app via wifi and don't like the new version (too many ads).
    I deleted it from my iPod Touch.
    Can I restore the old version of the app from iTunes?
    In iTunes I try to drag the app from the apps folder to my iPod but it springs back.

    Try:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

  • Can I delete early versions of "Lightroom Database 2 Preview.lrData

    Can I delete previous versions of "Lightroom Database-2 Previews.lrData

    Thank you, Jim!
    Just to clarify--I was puzzled upon first reading your "No".    However, upon reading further, I now will happily delete the old programs. (2.667 GB!).  It was interesting to see the size increase for each one--from 207MB (3.4) to 780MB for 4.4....  The Control Panel (Win7HP) only lists 4.4, so I'll have to delete the old programs up to & including 4.3.
    Your quick response was very much appreciated!

    I thought I could do the same with my other Adobe program files, but only the CS6 programs are listed.  Does this mean the previous files are automatically deleted when upgrading?

    I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
    The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
    Thanks for your help,

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Can't get photos on my ipod, update error

    I just bought my ipod last night. Immediatly when plugging it in I got an error that said:
    "The ipod can not be updated. The required file can not be found."
    All of my songs transfered onto it though. I have it set-up to transfer my photos over after it transfers the songs, but it doesn't do it. I've watched the video on transfering photos and it all looks right, but the photos won't transfer. The only thing it isn't doing is showing the number of picture to be transfered at the bottom, nothing is there. It sees all my photo folders though. And every time I try to update my ipod, I get the above error.
    I have installed the latest version of the ipod updater, I updated my iTunes, I reset and even restored my ipod, and nothing is working. Please help. I want to be able to load my photos on my ipod and I want to stop getting this error!
    Thanks!

    I called Apple Support and after an hour and a half, we figured out the problem.
    In my "My Pictures" folder I have subfolders grouping my pictures by year. The year subfolders have their own subfolders grouping the pictures by month, and sometimes there are more subfolders in the month folders grouping my pictures by event. And basically, you can't transfer over subfolders. And that's why my photos were not being transfered, and that's why I was getting the "file not found error" (Because it was only finding subfolders and no pictures in my "My Pictures" folder.)
    My way around this was to create a new folder and just copy over all the photos I wanted on my ipod into it, and have the ipod update from that folder.
    I was a little frustrated because the reason I got a 60GB ipod was so I could use it to back-up my photos in a better way then just burning DVDs, so the tech support person walked me though how to back up my photos to my ipod, so they are all on there, just not all viewable (the only viewable ones are the ones I had the ipod update form the new folder I created. In order to do put them on the ipod as a back-up, I had to make sure the "disk use" box was checked in the ipod preferences under the music tab.
    Hope this helps others with this problem.

  • Delete Previous Version - file associations

    Have a question on file association problems when deleteing previous version of PS.
    For example user bought CS5 and  installed.  File Associations now changed by defauilt to CS5.
    If user un-installs CS4, the file associations now revert back to CS4, even though that version is not on computer.
    Changing file associations is Bridge and in the OS does not solve file association problem.
    One either has to uninstall PS and wipe Adobe files, then re-install latest version, or go into OS registry and make changes.  Registry changes can be difficult for many.
    I am sure when CS6 is released we will again have this same scenero, as outlined above, repeated unless the code has been changed.
    The question is:  In CS6 will this bug have been eliminated?

    Just because it's happend to multiple people doesn't make it not machine or user specific (a problem with user permissions on one computer can happen on another as well). I've never seen this behavior on any of my systems and I have to install and uninstall random versions of the software all the time. The most recently installed version of the software should always have the file type associations, regardless of what versions have been removed.
    Have you been able to reproduce the issue on your own machine during testing?

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).
