Do I have to uninstall an older version after installing a new one?

Hi,
I just upgraded my CS5.5 Design and Web Premium to CS6. Is it OK to uninstall 5.5 now, or does CS6 need still need it? If I do have to install, is doing so via the Control Panel OK? Thanks.

There's no reason to and doing so has been known to kill some file
associations. If you uninstall, you may have to reinstall CS6.

Can I delete older version after installing a newer version of Firefox?

I have other software that when I install a newer version, it runs off the older one but adds to it...meaning I can't uninstall the older one or the new one won't work. Can I uninstall the older versions of Firefox when I install a newer one? I don't like having all this stuff on my computer!!!

Yes, if you have used you computer and feel you have all of the settings and preferences file you need then delete it.

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

Export and import a whole older version datebase to a new one

Hi, everyone,
There is a requirement to export one Oracle database(8.0.5) and import into one database instance(Oracle 8.1.7 over WinNT). Are there any detailed procedure or check to follow for this operation? or any document and URL helpful can guide this operation.
Or anything should be carefully for different version and different OS?
Thanks in advance,
Hawk

You need to run your export with the older version software. In other words, use the 8.1.7 version export program if you want into import to 8.1.7. This 8.1.7 export file will also be compatible with the 8.0.5 import program, but not the other way around.
There's a compatibility matrix on Metalink. If you have a Metalink account, logon and do a search on "import export compatibility matrix".

Can I exchange my older version iPod for a newer one?

I have an iPod touch 3rd Gen, 8GB.
It's really not that old but it seems that every time I sync it to my computer I'm being told that less and less apps are applicable with my iPod. Over time I know that my iPod is probably going to be obselete which upsets me because I've fallen in love with it. I'm also running out of space on my iPod so I figure it's time to upgrade anyway and was wondering if Apple had any sort of program where they let you send in your old iPod and maybe lessen the price of a new one or something of the sort.
I also have an old iPod nano that has some water damage and everywhere I went to trade it in, it was worth nothing. I can live with that fact, but if I trade that in or something that would be nice. If not, it would just be ideal to have a working iPod.

I have an iPod touch 3rd Gen, 8GB.
There never was a 3G 8 GB iPod. You actually have a 2G iPod Touch.
You can bring your current iPod into be recycled at your local Apple store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one.

Since the iPod Touch is still functional, you might be able to sell it on eBay or similar for a bit more cash that you could use towards the purchase of a new one.

I cannot uninstall my current version or install the new version because I always get the following error "The folder path 'Program Files (x86)' contains an invalid character."

How do you get ITunes to actually uninstall or install new versions when it doesn't like the path for some completely unknow reason. This is on a Windows7 system and by the way a lot of other programs are using this folder without any issues so it is clearly an Apple problem.

Try the following user tip:
"not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors

My Firefox will not pull up, even after I uninstalled the old version and installed the new version. What is wrong with it? It only had this problem recently.

I am having problems getting Firfox to open. I have unistalled the 14. version and then installed the 15. version hoping that it would fix the problem. It didn't. I have even tried restarting the computer, which also did not solve the problem. I know it is not the computer, because all other applications open properly, except this one. I would like to know what is going on and the problem to be fixed please.

I want to uninstall my current version and install the previopus one.

I do not like this version of Firefox. I prefer the previous version. I want Google as my home page, not your version of it.

You can set whichever webpage you want as your homepage quite easily. <br />

Still shows old version after installation of new one

HI
I upgraded jdk 1.4 to jdk 1.6.But whenever i used cmd like java - version it is showing same old one as jdk 1.4 can anyone is help me out in this case.
thanks
sachin

I think this is wrong forum for this question, because this forum is N1SM related !!!
anyways ... JAVA_HOME and PATH variables can help ;)
do:
$ echo $PATH
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
they should point out to which java version shall be used
for N1SM ... I recommend to stick to JDK installed with N1SM, unless you know what you're doing ...
also latest JDK patches BREAK N1SM, since they remove symlink to old JDK, so cacao loaders become broken ... simply creating the symlink again workarounds this problem

I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

How to force the browser to uninstall the older version of plugin?

Hi
The application I am working installs the plugin from its server rather than installing from sun's site when the user opens the page first time. But I want to have all the users use the same version of plugin(because the application loads some libraries as plugin extension).
If any of the user has older version of plugin installed already I want the browser to uninstall the older version and install the newer version from the web server automatically.
Have any one come across this situation?
Thanks.

Isn't that a potentially dangerous thing to allow an applet to do? If you are developing for a company intranet, have your admin do it on all company computers. But if this is a commercial application, I am sure most users won't want an applet uninstalling programs from their computer.

I have two versions of Lightroom installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

While looking at the "Programs and Features" folder on my Windows 7 computer I discovered that I have two versions of Adobe Lightroom installed on my system. One is Lightroom 5.2, installed on 9/19/2013, and the other is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 64-bit, installed on 7/5/2014
- Can I uninstall the older version?
- Will uninstalling the older version cause any problems with the newer version?
- If yes to either question, is there anything I need to do before doing the uninstall (i.e. deactivating, etc.)
Any advice on how to correct this problem is gratefully appreciated.
PS; I have the same issue with Muse CC. See: I have two versions of Muse CC installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

Jim,
I thought it was odd that I had two versions of Lightroom installed as well. I have been able to track the issue back to an apparent "bug" in the Lightroom 5.2 update that installed a second version of Lightroom in addition to updating the existing version on my computers. At the time, I posted about it at Lightroom 5 installed twice on my laptop. While I never got an answer to my question, which was "Is this normal?" I did hear from others in the forum the experienced the same problem and had the same question. As time passed, later releases updated one of the two installations, but did not effect the second. Hence, two different versions of Lightroom 5 installed on the same computer.
Uninstalling the older version solved the problem. Thanks

I am a new CC user. Very satisfied. I just d/l the CC 2014 upgrades. now I have 2 sets of folders. Can I uninstall the older version. or do I have to leave it on this machine ?

Understand the uninstall process BUT ...
Looking at the size of the previous versions vs. the CC 2014 versions, it seems that these newer (2014) versions are smaller in size ... with the exception of SpeedGrade.
What I have installed so far:
AE CC = 2.66gb
AE CC 2014 = 2.03gb
AU CC = 900mb
AU CC 2014 = 678mb
AI CC = 1.81gb
AI CC 2014 = 907mb
PS CC = 3.79gb
PS CC 2014 = 1.99gb
PR CC = 3.87gb
PR CC 2014 = 1.54gb
SG CC = 206mb
SG CC 2014 = 709mb
I hope this is right and the downloads didn't leave out anything!! If the programs are lighter, that's a good thing.
So, is this right?!
And is it alright to Uninstall the previous versions? (I don't have any plugins, add-on's, etc...)

Can't get the itunes version 8 to uninstall the older version

Does anybody know how to get around uninstalling the older version of itunes so that the version 8 will install?

When you ask a question you need to describe exactly what happened with any error messages, otherwise it is difficult for anyone to help you.
Here is a generic way of dealing with uninstall problems.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
