Do my old plugins dissappear if and when I download a new version of the same program?

Firefox has shown me that I have several old plugins. I am sure that they are all taking up disc space on my hard drive. I still want these plugins, however, I should upgrade them. Do the old versions disappear, or do I have to go in and manually remove the old versions to free up disc space for the new versions?

Okay, it synced with the computer, so what is the issue?
Is there data missing on the device?  If so, restore it from the most recent backup.

  • I have used Firefox for years on Macbook Pro and recently reformatted all my disks and when I downloaded a new version of firefox. I would like to restore my old settings and history on the new set-up - any help?

    I don't remember my old username and password, as computer automatically logged-in.

    Are there still JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder?

  • How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

    How do you remove an old conversation using  the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

    Hi,
    Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
    iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
    In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
    What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts  for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want  (I have  some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
    With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
    Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
    I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
    I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
    By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
    Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
    In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

  • When I try to play a You Tube video in Safari it tells me my version is no longer supported and I should download a newer version of Safari. I have OSX10.8.5, and my Safari is 6.2.3, and apparently it's up to date. What's going on?

  • I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0

    I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0. I have looked everywhere and its really annoying. I know it was taken off the app store when 10.9.10 came out but I need it to get 10.9.4 so I can play Total War Shogun 2. any help to get 10.9.4 would be appreciated. 

    It's no longer available. Unless Apple says otherwise, which they probably won't, you need to upgrade to Yosemite instead.

  • I have started using Roboform Lite 2.0.0, after Roboform it takes to much time to open Firefox and when i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded, Firefox is not responding. Please help.

    After installing Roboform 2.0.0;
    Starting Firefox started to take too much time.
    When i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded and Roboform realizes which website it is, Firefox does not respond.
    When i tell Roboform to fill the username and password fields in a tab, until Roboform submits Firefox does not respond.
    I mean, as if Roboform is not working background and Firefox cannot work multithread because of it. When i navigate from one tab to another, Roboform is also checking the tab and meanwhile Firefox is waiting for Roboform to finish its work.
    Please help me about this problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I download a new app from the App Store it does not show up on my home screen but I can find it in my settings but out from it says no data

    When I download a new app from App Store and press open when it's complete, it won't do anything, and when I look on my home screens it's nowhere to be found but if I go to settings and look under icloud and usage, I can find them but out from it says no data. I have tried deleting them and reinstalling but that's no working either... Please help me.. Thank you very much:)

    Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
    Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again.

  • Pages corrupt and interferes with download of newer version

  • When I downloaded a new version of Firefox the old version was never deleted, and now I can't tell which is the new and how to delete the old.?

    I have two Firefox versions on my laptop. One is 3.6.10 I believe and the other is some other version of 3.6. Why didn't it disappear when I downloaded one of your requests to update? Now I don't know how to delete the other one or even which one is the oldest?

    If you mean that you see both version listed in Control Panel > Add and Remove Programs then you most likely only have the version with the highest number installed. You posted with a Firefox 3.6.6 user agent. It can happen that the updater didn't remove or updated the registry keys properly and left the old keys.

  • I got a new computer and when i downloaded a new itunes to it i couldnt get my music back.. how can i get my music on my new itunes?

    when i got the new computer i had to downlaod a new itunes library. on my backup hard drive is the old itunes library but it wont let me open it . how can i get my old music on the new itunes??

    -Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music form iPod to computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restiore the iPod from that backup.

  • I get a message that tells me when I try to connect my Ipad 1 to the computer, that I have to download a newer version. The version on the computer is deleted twice, and a new version is downloaded, but it still doesn`t work. What to do?

    Is there anybody out there who can tell me what I`m doing wrong? I`ve just bought this Ipad1, mostly for the kids to play with, but I still want it to work properly.
    I first got the message that apple mobile device wasn`t activated. I did activate, and now I get the message that I have to download a never version of iTunes. The version on the computer is the newest, but what`s on my Ipad? No clue. But it`s updatet to the newest IOS 5, so i guess iTunes is updated too?? Or?
    Anything I can do to fix this? It`s pretty annoying if I can say so...!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Can't merge two apple IDs and can't download purchases from both onto the same iMac

    Some time ago I discovered that I had inadvertently created two apple IDs. One that I had used many years ago as a student and then the other I created when I bought my first iPhone. These days I only use the newer account I created however I still own a few songs which were purchased on the older account back when I was a student. SO recently I logged into the older account to get those old songs that I'd purchased and download them onto my work iMac - GREAT! ...Right up until I wanted to now download some newer songs I'd recently purchased directly onto my iPhone using the new account - UH-OH! NOPE! I'm not allowed to download those songs for 90 days! Are you frickin kidding me?! They're both MY accounts! They're both linked to me - use the same details, same address, same credit card, same everything else!!! But apple won't let me download songs that I now own for 3 months onto my iMac because I happen to have two accounts. This is insanely ridiculous! I would happilly merge the two accounts if it was possible but of course there is no way to do this either. I understand that the intention is to stop people from sharing songs by linking to a friends apple ID and downloading their songs, however I am in no way trying to do this. I just want to have access to all the songs that I own on all my machines. I want to listen to songs that I have legitimately purchased on my work machine as well as on my iPhone, my iPad and my home iMac. Surely this is not too much to ask? C'mon apple!! Can't you find a way to either link/merge my two accounts or to verify that they both belong to the same person so I don't run into this problem? I don't think I should have to wait 3 months to get access to songs I have purchased!

    1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
    2. Use the Transfer Purchases function to import them from the iOS devices, and manually move the iTunes libraries between the computers.

  • ITunes freezes when accepting download of new version

    When I open iTunes (for Windows), it asks me if I want to download the new version, I click on "yes" and the program freezes. I use the task manager to close it.  The program will re-open but opens "frozen" unless I re-boot. Any solutions?

    Click no, see what happens.
