Deleting old versions of iPod for Windows

I have the following "iPod for Windows" programs on my hard drive and am wondering if I need all of them or if I can remove the oldest ones. Which can I safely remove?

Thanks for the help.

If you have itunes 7, you can delete/remove all of them. If you want to be on the safe side, remove all but the most current one (aka 2006-06-28)

    Can deleting old versions of Ipod for Windows in Add/Remove programs safely free up disk space without harming the library? I need to make space on my hard drive! Any info would help. Thanks!

  • Cannot uninstall previous versions of iPod for Windows

    Over a year ago, my roommate gave me his old iPod. I installed it and iTunes and it worked fine until the battery on the iPod died and everything went nuts with the iPod - iTunes worked fine.
    Now i have a new 30 gig video iPod, but I can't get anything working. I had to fight to update iTunes / Quicktime. Basically, I had to run:
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\8\Intel 32\IDriver.exe" -Embedding
    from the command line. I don't know why, but it worked.
    Now I have three versions of "iPod for Windows" installed. I click to uninstall any of them (from add / remove programs) and nothing happens.
    I wouldn't care, but when I run iTunes with the iPod connected, it says "the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly."
    I've tried everything I can see, but I'm suspicious the three versions of iPod for Windows are conflicting with each other and / or iTunes.
    Can anyone offer any help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes it is, the iPod updater was integrated with iTunes when version 7 was released. As a back up, you might want to keep the last one in case you ever needed it but dispose of the rest, they are just taking up space.

  • Older versions of Ipod for Windows

    IN looking at my add/remove menu in windows, I have eight versions of "Ipod for Windows" with various dates. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions?

  • How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows

    According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
    Anybody know about this?

    If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
    To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.

  • Can't delete old version of itunes for xp

    When downloading the updated version of itunes,the installations stops and windows installer pops up. How can I locate itunes.msi. unable to to delete the old version of itunes.

    These sorts of msi-related troubles have 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (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.)

  • Extra copies of iPod for Windows - can I delete them?

    I'm trying to clean up my computer (Windows XP OS), and found three versions of iPod for Windows loaded: 2006-03-23, 2006-01-10, and 2005-09-23. I have an iPod nano, and my husband has one. Can I delete all but the most current version of this software? Thanks.

    You don't need any of them as the iPod updater is now built into iTunes.

  • Using first generation ipod for windows with my (older) mac

    I have got an old unused 10gb ipod for windows, I beleive it is first generation. My computer meanwhile is an ibook with OS 9.1. Having gone through some really useful discussions on the topic of re-formatting ipods from windows to mac and vice-versa, I got the impression that I should download the ipod software updater. However, the software updater requires OS 10x or later. What can I do without having to upgrade the OS version (that I am otherwise quite happy with). Is is possible that my version of iTunes (v 1.1) has somethig to do with it?
    Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance
    iBook   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    Thanks - iTunes now recognises the iPod, however version 1.3 of the software updater requires 9.21 (as you've said). Unfortunately I've only got 9.1 so it won't allow me to install. I get a message asking that I "select another volume". Are you aware of an earlier version of the software updater that works with OS 9.1? Presumably one did exist at some point.
    Thanks again for your prompt reply - the prospect of getting the iPod actually working is quite exciting!

  • Multiple iPod for Windows programs

    Can anyone help a technophobe??!
    I am trying to clear some disk space and I see that I have three versions of iPod for Windows programs dated 7 Feb 2005 (v 3.1), 23 September 2005 (v 4.3) and 10 January 2006 (v 4.7) in my "Add or Remove Programs" list.
    Am I OK to Remove the first two programs to free up some space?
    Many thanks and apologies if this question's been asked and answered already.
    Cheers,
    Mark

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Did you delete the older program dates and did it work (without destroying anything important)? I, too, am a technophone/illerate.

  • "Uninstalling" iPod for Windows

    Looking through my list of programs on "Add/Remove Programs" in Windows, and I'm finding four different versions of "iPod for Windows," each about 248MB files, each with a different date. Can I delete these without affecting my iPod settings and music? I'm desperate for any spare space on my hard drive.
    Thanks for any help/advice!

    Yes. None of them are necessary if iTunes 7 or newer is installed, and only the most recent one is necessary otherwise.

  • Can't delete ipod for windows

    I have an old ipod for windows (95) I just got a new ipod and when I tried to download and install version 7 it says Error 1921 service iopd service could not be changed. Verify that you have sufficent privlages to stop services. The same thing comes up when I try to delete the programme from the computer

    okay. also try downloading and installing the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to remove the installation configuration of any entries called "ipod for windows [date]" or "ipod updater [date]" (except for the latest one).
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    (the reason for this is that it's crashing on files that are part of the iPod software installation configuration information ... if that's still on the PC after your uninstall of the various ipod software packages, it would be best to use cleanup to remove it.)

  • Deleting Older "iPod for Windows" in Add Remove Programs

    I need to free up space on my hard drive and I have 3 different "iPod for Windows" listed that are taking up a lot of space. Can I delete the 2 older ones without compromising anything?

    If you are getting that close on space for your boot drive, you should consider getting a larger internal drive or an external drive.
    Generally, the accepted practice is to keep at least 10%-15% free space on the boot drive.
