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.

  • 3 copies of ipod for windows version 4.7.0 installed on hard drive

    We have 3 ipod for windows version 4.7.0 installed on our hard drive each using 169 MB. The computer control panel says they have not been used in 2 years. We have 4 ipods (1st gen nano, 2nd gen nano, 3rd gen nano, 1 shuffle) installed on computer. The last 3 being installed during last 6 months. Can we clear some of this software of our hard drive? without modifying any of our accounts.

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)

  • 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

  • While in Add/Remove Prog. in computer, I found apps named: iPOD for Windows 2006-03-23 (138 Mb) and another 2005-09-23 (106 Mb).  I'm trying trying to free up computer HD space.  What are these and can I delete either?

    Those are outdated iPod software updaters which can be safely deleted.

  • 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.)

  • I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas.  The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them

    The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them.  I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod.  It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?  
    I had no problems with my ipod touch 4th, which I had for years.   Any help would be great.

  • Ipod for Windows 2006-06-28 software installer fails

    When I install the iPod utility for Windows, version 2006-06-28 (the current download), the install shield goes to 100% --- but then it reverts and deletes all the files it installs at the very end.
    eventvwr tells me the last application event was:
    "10:23:55 - Product: iPod for Windows 2006-06-28 -- Installation operation failed."
    ...and the second most recent event was:
    "10:23:41 - Product: iPod for Windows 2006-06-28 -- Installation operation completed successfully."
    Anyone know whats up with this?
    PS - i had a similar problem with installing iTunes -- see this post for details on that...(reinstalling SP2 fixed the itunes installation error - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2675547#2675547 )

  • 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!

  • Reformatting an iPod for Windows with a Mac

    I have a 4G iPod that I'd like to use as a portable HD. My school only has Windows machines, so it obviously needs to be Windows formatted. Unfortunately (heh) I only have access to Macs at home, and cannot use the school's PCs for this. Is there any way I can use my Mac to format my iPod for Windows?

    Is there any way I can use my Mac to format my iPod for Windows?
    No.
    You either need to reformat the iPod for Windows (using a Windows computer) as you previously stated or use some 3rd party software (which is not free) like MacDrive or XPlay2 that allow Mac formatted iPods to be used on the Windows platform.
    Neither of these options would appear suitable given your circumstances.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

    Try here you'll need to download the software but it will be the latest version, should be better than that on the original cd.
