I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

ITunes substituted older versions for my Playlist.

I drug 23 audio files from outside iTunes into a new iTunes playlist. However, iTunes immediately loaded older versions of those audio files (that had the same file name) from my iTunes library instead-and without any warning. What's with that? This is a serious matter. I was making practice play-along audio CDs for members of my band to use, and iTunes substituted older versions of the tunes--that had the same file name--from my iTunes library into my new playlist so the CD I burned from that playlist then had outdated versions of our tunes on it. This is not good. How do I keep iTunes from doing that?

I USED to be able to get a playlist or two, I had gotten 5 GB of music back on it by putting 1-2 playlists on, ejecting, plugging back in, rinse, repeat. Now iTunes locked up AGAIN, checked the iPod, NO MUSIC. Really glad I bought this ******* piece of **** two years ago! Totally worth my money!
Now, on top of all this, I find this in the help section.
Symptoms
You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
iTunes is slow to respond.
Windows is slow to respond.
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Oh, so you mean that since you guys released 10.5, (and its now up to 10.6.??) people have had this issue of their iTunes not responding? What the ****. So basically since 10.5 people have had their iTunes not working correctly? Fix this crap.
I already did the LSP check thing, only one besides the apple one are two windows ones that are up to date and should be there. There is no other help to be had. What a joke.

Reinstalling older version of itunes

Yes, I am one of the unlucky who jumped on upgrading itunes and having crash problems. How can I install older version? I tried (filehippo.com) but it failed because I have the newest version. If I uninstall itunes in order to reinstall, will I lose my library? (this cannot happen, lol.) I loaded ewido and stand alone of quicktime, cleared files and cookies and still having probs. sigh Thanks, Mis

Realize that the older versions of iTunes may not read the Library database file created by more recent versions (the 'iTunes Library.itl' file).
You should not lose your PC music files, but your Library database may be unreadable. This file contains Ratings, Play Cpounts, Playlists, and Last Played attributes.
Make sure you make a complete backup of your Library information. These are the files you need (not all may be useful in a downgrade, though):
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files you created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”

Itunes 7.3 does not open and i can't reinstall older versions

the software upgrade made me download the last itunes version but it does not open (apparently i have an old version of macosx) and since then i can not use itunes. the old versions do not install. how could i reinstall itunes on my computer

ayeee! I'm in exactly the same place: I am stuck with a new download of iTunes 7.3, which I cannot open.
And I'm scared: if i download the upgrade on the operating system, will i LOSE all my tunes from iTunes -- or are they hidden somewhere? (they better not be lost, or i'll cry a river!0
i'm on a powerbook 10.4.6 ...
and this whole stupid thing only happened because i couldn't get vids i'd bought to play on my iTunes... so i followed the instructions to upgrade my quicktime player ... and once i HAD upgraded my quicktime player (for $30!!!) i couldn't use it, cause my operating system was old (as in: i bought this computer 9 months ago!)... and so then i thought, "gee, maybe if i uprade my iTunes, the expensive new quicktime pro will work, and i can actually see the videos I bought!"
it's like a giant catch-22.... ayeeeee! help!

How do I deinstall most recent itunes update? then reinstall older version

how do I deinstall most recent ilife intunes6 update? without losing all my music, and then reinstall the older version of intunes?

Can't download songs because itunes wants older versions of it 7.4 and 7.2

Okay here's my issue. I want to buy a new song from iTunes and most songs come up with this error. It says I need to download 7.2 or 7.4 versions of i Tunes, but I already have 7.5!! Plus everytime I open up iTunes it says I need to update to 7.5 even though I already have it. I thought iTunes must be running off of older versions of itself so I deleted all the old itunes set-ups exceot for the 7.5 versions. But I still keep getting all this updating problems still. Did I do something wrong and accidently erased 7.2 and 7.4 versions I still needed? If so, how do I re-download them??

hi,
I don't know exactly how to solve your issue. But iTunes really doesn't need any older versions to run in order to work properly. Therefore, you haven't done anything wrong by not keeping older versions. But when you download an iTunes update, you do not need to uninstall manually previous version. You should simple let the iTunes updater do its work.
It appears to me that somehow your system is beleiving that you still have a version older tan 7.2 despite the fact to you have 7.5 installed. This is why it is asking you to update. It may be related to your manual removal of your previous version.
Have you simply try to reinstall 7.5?

I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.

Replacing newest iTunes with older version.

I uninstalled the latest version of iTunes (which I hate) and am trying to install an older version (10.7) and when I try to open the older version, I get the statement:
(The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version of iTunes)
Can someone please tell me how to get the older version to work?
Many thanks

After working on this all day i was about to give up when i came across this on the apple site... and best of all - IT WORKS!!! My computer (running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) and itunes finally recognizes my ipod 5th gen again!! Give it a try!
Reinstall USB driver:
Right-click the iPod's entry in Device Manager and choose Uninstall from the shortcut menu.
In the resulting dialog box, click OK.
In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
Windows automatically reinstalls the necessary USB drivers and attempts to remount the iPod.

Need help in adding a folder library (on external hard drive) to ITunes. Older versions had "add folder to library" option...

I have an external hard drive that has a huge music library that I wish to make my Library in ITunes. I have already set the location of the library to the hard drive folder (under Preferences/Advanced). In the older versions of ITunes there was an "add folder to library" option. After selecting that option, ITunes would then take a long time to analyze the songs in the new folder and I could then transfer songs to my IPad. The new ITunes has an "Add File to Library". I selected *.* to include all artists and songs in the library, but ITunes does not begin to analyze the songs and artists in the hard drive.
How do you get Itunes to recognize the songs and artists in the new song directory?.

As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.
See this user tip for a backup strategy.

I want to delete/uninstall an older version to bring up the newest version. How do I do this?

What more details do you need? I want to uninstall an older version of Firefox and install 4.0X. But cannot seem to be able to get rid of 3.04

OK, here I am replying to myself but perhaps others may gain from this solution. Remember, this original post was "how to stop Adobe preventing me from installing an older version and forcing me to take the latest version...". I just wanted to re-install an older version to prevent big CPU usage and stuttering video. Well, this is what fixed it for me an allowed me to install Adobe Flash V9...
Assuming you have properly uninstalled Adobe Flash Player v10.n, you need to remove a folder and files from your registry. If you are unhappy to do this, then ask an expert - the registry is not somewhere you want to get lost in. I am also assuming you have the correct system permissions, Anway this is what I did:
1. Go to start button and find (and run) REGEDIT.EXE
2. Rather than give you a specific path to follow, it is best to simply use REGEDIT to find the folder by clicking "Edit" then "Find".
3. You are looking for a folder called "SafeVersions".
4. When you find it, it may show a number of safe versions (previous loads of the player).
5. From the left window pane, right click on the aforementioned folder then click "Delete"
6. Respond to any prompts you might get, like, "do you want to do this..." etc.
7. Close down all applications in the normal manner and reboot.
8. When restarted, go back on line and download the V9 (or whatever version you want). You'll know its a good 'un as it loads in a fraction of the time.
9. Go back to your web page or whatever and, hey presto, everything is back to what it was before that hungry V10.n was uploaded.
Hope that helps, it might be nice if the Adobe uninstaller deleted this registry entry, but it doesn't - or at least in Win7 on my PC, it didn't.
Let me know it the above works for you.
Thanks and good luck

Cannot update Itunes. Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed

Trying to update Itunes, but dowload stops stating 'Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed' ' Ask your Technical support group'
I am computer stupid and do not understand any of this. Is there a simple way to overcome this?

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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Reinstall Older Version of Server

I updated my computer and Server got updated to OS X Server. I now can't access anything in my server. I need to know if there is anyway
I can uninstall this version (the update) and reinstall the older version. Or if there is any other way to fix my problem. I primarily need to to replace the data volume, but it will have to be done via the terminal since I can't access it through server. Are there any other ways I can get this done?

I can't help you. But when I upgraded my hardware I wasn't happy with 10.10 server, so I wanted to downgrade the server OS on my new hardware.
The newer hardware wouldn't allow me to put any OS on that came before the OS that was preinstalled so I wasn't able to downgrade.
Good luck!

Reinstall older version of game

Can you install an older version of a game on iPad? My dad updated his favorite game - HEARTS - and he doesn't like the newer version. Is there anyway to get the older version back?

If you currently have a copy of the older version, put it into an iTunes library and sync it to the device. If not, only if the older one is the latest compatible release with a device you have.

ITunes w/ Older version of Quicktime?

Quicktime 7 destroys the ability of Image Converter 1.5 used for creating quicktime files on the Clie. Thus, I've had to roll back to Quicktime 6. However, I want iTunes back on my system but it appears bundled only with QT7 (which I will not allow back on my system). Is there an older version of iTunes that can be used that doesn't require QT7?

I use Image Converter 1.5 to transfer movies to my CLIE also. I had the same issue.
I had to revert back to Quicktime 6.5.2.
I do not have iTunes any more because I cannot find an installation file for an earlier version anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can get an iTunes 4 installer bundled with Quicktime 6.5.2?
Sony has acknowledged this problem. Here is the text from their knowledge base:
Knowledge Article C406201
The Image Converter 1.5 software no longer works.
This issue occurs when the Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version and, at this time, that version of the Apple® QuickTime® player is not compatible with the Image Converter 1.5 software.
NOTE: The Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version automatically when the Apple® iTunes® software is upgraded to version 5.0 or higher.
This issue is currently being investigated by Sony and as soon as a solution is available it will be posted to the Sony® CLIÉ® Handheld Support web site at http://www.sony.com/peg/support
