Delete old ipod updates

Is it ok to delete old ipod updates, but keep the last update.thay take up close to 1gig of space.

Yes, you can delete them. They aren't needed once they are used.
Keeping the most recent updater is a good idea.

  • Delete old itunes updates

    Do you mean iTunes or iPod updaters like in the .exe files? Newer iTunes install over the old ones, right??
    I would burn anything off to a back up cd first.
    I once Uninstall some of the older iPod updates and ran into a small problem, so nice to have a back up. Paula

  • Old ipod updater ... where can I get a copy?

    I had asked this question in a previous post but received no replies so I though I would try again.
    I am (like lots of others) having problems with my ipod and itunes 5 and the new ipod updater.
    I was hoping to download an old ipod-updater - say Feb or June of 2005 and try using it instead of the new one.
    Does anyone know where I could find this? I have found a czech version but I can't install it on my powerbook without changing my computers language to czech, which I don't want to do!
    Thanks for any help! Even if someone mailed me the .dmg file that would be great (or post it on a web site somewhere)

    eBay.  You should get a "retail" copy (which came on three CDs not one DVD), black with a big silver X.  Don't get a copy that came with a particular Mac model (grey color), unless it happens to be the disc that came with your particular Mac model.
    You may want to consider getting Tiger (10.4) instead, if your Mac supports it.  Tiger provides better software compatibility with more recent applications, compared to Panther.
    If your Mac is a G4 or G5, 867 Mhz or faster, with at least 512mb of RAM, Leopard (10.5) is also supported.
    NOTE:  Leopard does not have "Classic" mode for running Mac OS 9 apps.  Tiger (and earlier) does.

  • Deleted old System-update directories

    I am about to install ZCM 11 SP3 on our ZCM 11.2.3.a linux servers.
    In an attempt to free up space can I delete the older system-updates from the /var/opt/novell/zenworks/content-repo/system-update folder.
    Thanks

    There is a bug (IMO), but it's a WAD that can cause the old system-updates to remain and zman sudu won't delete anything.
    Should only happen on your satellite servers though.
    If it's your satellites that have the old system updates, then yes, you can manually delete the directories.
    It has something to do with the content replication schedule and the automatic (hard coded) database cleanup routines. IF the database cleanup routines run before the content replication, then you end up with orphaned system updates in the system and since the database thinks it's gone, zman sudu doesn't do anything.
    I had like 15 GB of system updates I had to delete on 20+ servers.

  • Old Ipod Updates

    Hi all......I have Ipod 5th Gen and I'm using a PC....When I go into Add or Remove Programs I can see a few Ipod Updaters and Ipod for Windows ***-**-*. Do all of these need to stay on my system???
    I've tried to unistall the old one but the Unistall box appears....status bar fills half way up and then disappears. I've restarted my PC after this and went back inot Add or Remove programs and they are still there.
    So my question is.....do they need to be there?....and if not....how do I remove them?
    Cheers Chaps.

  • Deleted old iPhone update, now what?

    I received an error message during the new iPhone update 1.1.1, and I read some of the discussions here about removing a previous iPhone update (iPhone1,11.1.1_3A109aRestore.ipsw) to allow for the new 1.1.1 update. I did that and the update worked, but I am not sure - do I need to keep that other update, or should I just toss it? Thank you!!
    P.S. My update worked just fine after deleting the file above.

    It won't do you any good to keep the old update since you supposedly cannot revert to it anyway. Trash it and empty the trash.

  • Deleting old iPhone Updates

    My wife and I both have an iPhone 4 and we are using the same iMac with two accounts to update the Software (4.01. / 4.0.2).
    The 4.0.2 - Update has had more than 500 MB in Size and iTunes downloaded it twice - so 1 GB of HDD - Space lost on that update alone.
    Is there a way to delete the old Updates while of course not making iTunes forget that it is installed?

    I believe it does incremental backups (only backs up changed data) so those older backup files contain data that hasn't changed since the date of the backup. If you delete them you will not be able to restore the data that hasn't changed in a while.

  • Deleting old large updates

    I have some huge update Java files that I would like to delete because they are so large. Can I do that without problems or do they build on each other?
    I have both "Java SE Runtime Environment 5" (and 6) updates and straight "Java 6" updates. It comes to 900 megs!
    And if they are not all needed (I suspect) why aren't the old versions automatically uninstalled when a new version is uploaded?
    Thanks.

The most recent is all you probably need, but you may want to keep the latest 1.4.2 version in case you need to run code that's not compatible with later versions. You could always reinstall it later if you need it though.

  • Deleting old JS2 Update files

    I have JS2 Runtime Environment Updates, 3, 6 & 7 in addition to SE v1.4.2 using up a lot of space on my hard drive. Can I delete one or more of them without experiencing some unforeseen problem?

    where is "home>music>previous itunes library folder" ?
    It is in your Home folder in /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries.
    Double click the *Macintosh HD* icon on your desktop. then go to Music/iTunes.
    Note that these are single files of a few dozen MB. It is not a backup of all your song files or everything in your iTunes folder.
    Deleting them won't save much space.

  • Old Ipod Updater Software?

    Is there a place where I can download old software for my ipod? I lost the disk it came with...

    Old software? You probably can't get them now from Apple. Is there a reason why you want an older version and not the most recent version?

  • What am I doing wrong? Can't install iTunes due to old iPod software

    Hi - iTunes will not install - error message says it can't upgrade old iPod software and it should be uninstalled. I had an old 2ndGen iPod and I have removed everything to do with that (Musicmatch, quicktime, iPod manager (although teh latter proved difficult as it wouldn't delete from Program Files - got rid of it and then when I reinstalled everything in order to uninstall again to see if that would fix, it now wont delete at all) etc.) and have been through all the windows installer clean-ups and everything else on the support page.
    Has anyone else encountered this - would really appreciate help as doing my head in! Its so I can use new Nano.
    Thx.

  • IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path contains an invalid character

    I tried to install ITUNES on an external HD (I didn't want to slow down my computer by putting all of my music on my internal HD). ITunes installed and then crashed. I removed all traces of ITUNES and IPOD that I could find and went to install ITUNES again on my regular internal drive. Now it goes through the installation and REMEMBERS my IPOD serial number (so obviously I can't find all of the files to remove) but doesn't give me a choice of where to install (it still must be trying to install to my external HD) the ITUNES. All I get is the following Error message:
    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Does anyone have a solution out there?
    Thanks in advance!

    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Interesting. It's choking on the old iPod updater application. (iPod software updates are no longer handled by a standalone application ... that function was folded into iTunes beginning with iTunes 7.0.0.70.)
    Let's try the following procedure.
    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 entries called "ipod for windows \[date]" or "ipod updater \[date]" or just "ipod for windows" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Quit out of CleanUp, and restart the PC.
    Does an itunes install go through properly after that?

  • Ipod updater not working in Itunes 7

    Whener I either try to update or restore my 60GB 5G ipod to firmaware 1.2 using the new itunes 7. I get the message: "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod "mypod". The required file cannot be found. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later". I'm connected to a stable broadband internet connection and can access the itunes music store for example. I've tried reinstalling itunes 7 and rolling back the firmware using the old ipod updater utility. No luck. Any ideas.
    Cheers

  • Library Lost - Please HeIp I tried updating my old ipod & now all 10,000 songs in my library have an ! next to them and I get the error message "song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found" on every song I try to play

    Please help - this morning I tried updating one of my old ipods for my wife (this ipod hasn't been updated in 2-3 years).  I plugged it into my pc, it was recognized and the software updated.  I created a new playlist and tied to sync the ipod.  This ipod had never been used on this pc/itunes since the pc is only 2 years old.  When I tried to sync the ipod it stated that it would have to erase all the old songs on the ipod prior to syncing.  I clicked ok and it proceeded to wipe out the old ipod and sync the new playlist (~1000 songs).  When the sync was complete there were only 6 songs from the new playlist (all purchased this morning from itunes) on the ipod and to my horror all ~10,000 song on my pc in itunes now have a ! next to them.  Only my recent purchases from itunes do not.  When I click on a song with the ! I get the error message "the song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found."  How do I correct this issue - I am scared to hook my ipads or other ipods to my pc for fear of losing everything?!?!?  I spent 100s of hours burning the 10,000 songs from my cd collection and do not want to have to do it again. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
