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.

  • Multiple iTunes/iPod Updater Entries in Add/Remove Programs

    There are three entries for iTunes in the "Add or Remove Programs" window.
    iTunes 6.0.3.5
    iTunes 6.0.2.23
    iTunes 6.0.1.3
    I never bothered uninstalling the previous version before upgrading (I fear it will mess up my music library if I take iTunes completely off). I always figured, like with most other programs, it would replace/delete the previous version on its own.
    The same thing happens with the iPod Updater. I have two of those.
    iPod for Windows 2005-11-17 (4.17.0)
    iPod for Windows 2005-09-23 (4.3.0)
    Should I uninstall them all (iTunes & iPod Updater) and reinstall only the latest versions (iTunes 6.0.4 & iPod Updater 2006-01-10)? I have like 30GB of music, and if anything were to happen...I'd seriously jump in front of a speeding car before reripping everything...ok no I wouldn't, but I'd be extremely ****** off.
    Thanks in advance for any help! =D

  • Want to delete then reload firefox, but in add/remove programs, i click remove and nothing happens.

    Firefox will not work. I want to delete it, then reload it anew. But when I got to add/remove programs and click remove, nothing happens.

    I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
    If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
    But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

  • Should I remove older versions of Java from Add/Remove Programs?

    I have about 9 or 10 older versions of Java mostly version 5 updates 2-11installed in the Add/Remove programs section of Control Panel. Should I remove these or leave them installed before installing the next update 6.2?

    Yea, you should definitely remove them via the add/remove tool.
    Sometimes if you are developing for different versions you might
    have more than one - but in most cases more than 1 or 2 is
    unnecessary.

  • Update re. getting rid of the "Ask" toolbar ("KM Player Toolbar")."Deleted" it and its "Updater" from "Add/Remove Programs" on "My Comptr": Not gone!

    I deleted it and it's still on the front page of Firefox and Internet Explorer and in both address bars.

    go to Firefox/Tools>Addon>Extension and make sure there were no Ask toolbar installed?

    Those are outdated iPod software updaters which can be safely deleted.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can I remove iPod for Windows 2006-03-23 and 2006-06-28?

    I have the latest update of iTunes installed on my PC. I'm trying to remove uneeded programs from my c drive. Is it safe to remove iPod for Windows 2006-03-23 and iPod for Windows 2006-06-28? If I removed them will it adversely affect the restoring of the iPod to factory settings or cause other problems?

    The iPod updater is now integrated with iTunes so that you no longer need the standalone updaters each of which only delivered a particular version of the software. You can safely delete them, you'll find a few of the later ones are still available for download should you feel you need one. If you need to restore your iPod this can be done through iTunes: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

  • 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 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?
    2005-11-17 115MB
    2006-01-10 115MB
    2006-03-23 165MB
    2006-06-28 232MB
    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)

  • Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

    Hi,
    I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
    I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
    To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
    only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
    Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
    Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
    A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
    Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
    Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
    (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
    you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
    Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

  • 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.

  • Removing iPod for Windows 2005-09-06

    Hi folks,
    When I received my replacement iPod mini, I was required to install the latest Updater, and this was the one. I installed it and have successfully recovered my iPod.
    I used my office PC, but now I have been asked to uninstall it.
    I would like to know what is the impact of doing so. Will attempts to sync fail? Will I still be able to charge using the USB cable? Will there be any difficulty if I re-install it later? Etc, Etc.
    Thanx & Rgds,
    Shah

    Shahril,
    Once you have installed the software on your iPod and formatted your iPod for Windows use (as you have done), then you can remove the iPod updater program from the computer.
    The iPod will still work normally without it.
