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.

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!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

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.

Yes. Just keep the current one handy.

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.

How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla

Hello
How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla?
Within a day, each day I get prompts as: Mozilla Firefox Update is ready to install at your computer.........then I do install and update it.......then after few minutes again it asks to update the same edition.........again after logging in back few hours later it prompts me again with the same request........IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
Thank You,
Gene

<blockquote>
You could allow the update to proceed - that will stop Mozilla from asking if you want to update every time you launch Firefox, as is supposed to happen.
Any particular reason that you don't want Firefox 35.0.1 to be installed?
</blockquote>
Hi The EDmeister,
Thank you for your response.
Nevertheless, I have to repeat that I have ALREADY INSTALLED the Firefox 35.0.1 in my computer and ALLOWED IT TO PROCEED.
The same edition is prompting me back again, and again and again, within a day, each day. I get that annoying message at the top-right hand.
I do not want to see it every time, multiple times a day, that is the issue here, unresolved!
Best regards,
Gene

ITunes-Won't upgrade, can't removed old version, can't add new version,etc

I just bought a new Ipod yesterday, 30GB Photo/Video. I connected my Ipod however it was not responding to the old version of iTunes which I had, this is when the problems started.
1st. I tried to update my iTunes, I tried with the new disc which came with my Ipod and also from the internet. I tried running and saving the program - both times I received a Error Msg as following:
Error 1406. Followed by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
2nd. I tried to remove my old version of my iTunes to see if I could then use the CD to add the new version, however when I tried to do so I got this Error Msg:
Error 1402. Could not open key: followed once again by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Followed by Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
Seems like I've tried everything to install, update, and even delete my old version of iTunes to try and get the new version, nothing seems to help. I never had this problem before with my old Ipod, but I'm ready to switch over to my new one. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Thank you

I tried following the steps in the Troubleshooting, however I cannot complete them all as I cannot remove the older version of my iTunes from my computer.
I've emptied my Temp directory and restarted with the same result.
One thing I noticed is I cannot seem to find my Windows installer anywhere on my computer. Could this be a problem?
I've turned off my fire wall, turned off my anti virus program, and updated my computer all with the latest updates.
I've tried placing the program in different locations to see if this would work, but no such luck.
This is what I receive when I try to add the new iTunes from the CD:

If I press ignore and try to continue with the download it's followed by more errors:

How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

How do you remove an old conversation using the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

Hi,
Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want (I have some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

Can you remove Old Backup files from Time Machine sooner?

So I'm aware that the default settings state that Time Machine will start to delete old backup files from your saved destination once that destination starts to approach full storage capacity. But what if you are not looking to fill up most of your storage capacity with Time Machine backups? Is there a way where you can cut the delete threshold in half and have Time Machine delete old backup files sooner rather than later?

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

How do you get songs on an Ipod touch from your previous one?

My Ipod touch recently had a glitch that completely messed it up. As a result, I went to get another one. Typically, when we sync our ipods to the computer, everything that you've changed on the ipod is saved onto the computer as well. However, I had purchased about 15-20 songs on my Ipod touch and added about 6 or 7 new apps before it started to mess up on me, but I never had the chance to sync it in to the computer. So I'm wondering if there is a way for me to reclaim the songs that I've purchased because--well, because I've purchased them and I really do not want to pay for them again. If anyone has a legit answer, I'd really appreciate it if you posted a response!
Thank you! =]

Here's a short and simple on the legit way since I actually had this happen to me as well.
Open iTunes, and go to the store. At the top right corner should be your iTunes login name (or "Log In"). Either way, click it and it will ask you to log in.
Once you log in (or re login), you should be brought to your account. Somewhere in the middle is an option to view purchase history. Click that.
Once it's open, it should pull up all your purchases (grouped somehow...I think by day?). Find the purchases you're looking for. And click the arrow to pull up the order (for multiple orders, you're going to do this a couple times).
The order should pull up with ALL purchases associated with that order. At the bottom is a button to report a problem.
When you click it, all items should now show a link that says "Report a Problem". For each item, click the link.
A new page will display with a drop down menu and a comments box. Pick the option "I didn't Receive this Song" and note that it was purchased with an iPod Touch that was unable to transfer to back to iTunes. Submit, and repeat for all SONGS.
For all your apps, find the apps you need to download, and iTunes will automatically allow free redownloads, which means you DON'T need to report a problem. When you finished reporting the problem, check your email box because you'll be spammed by the Apple Auto-Responses that an Apple Associate will take care of the problem. In several hours (or overnight), you'll receive a response from said Apple Associate (it will say the same thing all the time, practically automated) apologizing for you not receiving the songs. They will credit your account and you can "repurchase" that song (since you will technically receive a "gift card" on your account of 1.29 per song). That should solve your problem.

6.0 is horrible where can you find old versions to download

If you are planning on downloading this DON'T! wait for a new version this is full of bugs and i can't even use my itunes right now because it is so buggy. i have unloaded quicktime, loaded the standalone and they didn't work. i have unloaded itunes and quicktime and reladed both several times and still didn't work. i don't know what to do.
does anyone know where i can find the download for old itunes for windows versions?

Hey Parker, don't give up ...
Here is a post that I added two weeks ago. It includes a solution that worked for me. I hope that it works for you! Good luck.
Hey troubled Podheads,
I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

Can't remove old version ... for install new version

I can't install the update of iTunes beacause it ends with an error in Quick Time:
Die alte Version von Quick Time kann nicht entfernt werden. Setzen Sie sich bitte mit dem technischen Support in Verbindung.
Than I tried it with "Systemsteuerung" and "Software". I doesn't work:
Fehler bei der Übernahme der Transformationspakete. Stellen sie sicher, dass die Transformationspakete gültig sind.
"

First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
(thank you very much, {b nior})

Downloading new verion - can't remove old version

I wanted to upgrade my Quicktime to the new version but it can't delete the older version. I tried add/delete programs, deleting QuickTime from the Program Files folder, etc... no dice. Any ideas? My son got his first ipod and can't get updated version of itunes to get any songs.

Could this be related to permissions? Are there multiple user accounts on the computer, where's Sandy?
I might try right clicking on QuickTime somewhere on the computer maybe Apple Software Update. Then go to Properties, click on the Security tab>Advanced>Owner. This would be the current owner of QT, or probably the one that installed it.
If you don't have a Security tab, open Folder Options control panel, click on View tab and uncheck-Use simple file sharing [Recommended].
Are you logged on as the same person that shows up as the current owner of QT? Is the account that you used to log on a administrator account, open the User Accounts control panel.
You must be a administrator account with full administrator credentials to install programs. This may or may not be your problem, but permissions can certainly be the cause.

How can you tell what version of Secutity update is installed.

I have osx 10.8.5. Software update says I have security update 2014-001 1.0 available for my Mac. When I try to install, it downloads, says to restart, which I do, and then gives me an error message saying the update can't be installed and to contact apple. This was done several times, with the same result. Did the system accept the update? Why does it continue to say that this update is available?

Click  in the menu bar.
About This Mac > More Info.. > System Report > Software > Installations
Select "Software Name" at the top of the window , the leftmost column.
Security Updates should be listed just below "Safari".
Best.
