Remove old version after update?

I just installed the Windows Lightroom 4 (upgrade) to replace Lightroom 3.6.
Can I now remove version 3.6 without jeopardizing operation of version 4 or the ability to further update when a successor becomes available?

Yes, you can.
Although in this particular case with all the bugs in LR4.0 I would keep LR3.6 sitting around.
Should you be among the ones hurt by performance problems you might need an easy way to go back.
Or you might need to compare images. Go for 4.1RC2 to benefit from some bug fixes.
Have you already converted your LR3-catalog ?
This might also take several trials...
No need for a hurry to ditch LR3.6, you can so in some months as well.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Old versions after update

I have Mac. After new version install why do all old versions still show up in applications file? Will it cause problems if old versions are deleted or do they need to sit there taking up space?

We don't overwrite your apps so you can keep previous workflows.

my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.
Anyway, perhaps someone has some idea, if you give us some details: operating system, browser, email client, ...

Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
Any ideas as to a solution?
Thanks a lot
Tom Fanning

I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

Unable to remove old version of iTunes

no "remove" option, in the control panel for itunes, downloaded new itunes, can't install it. message said
"cannot remove old version, contact technical support group".
i give up.
anyone know about this???

First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
(thank you very much, {b nior})

Should you remove old versions (CS5) before you install creative cloud?

Should you remove old versions before you install creative cloud? Right now I have CS4 and CS5 on my system. Iwould like to remove them before I move forward.

Rod as Badavaraj indicated there is no requirements to keep the older versions installed. If you have particular compatiblity needs with plug-ins or working collaboratively with other Adobe users using those versions however you may want to keep the older software titles installed.

Removed old version, but it keeps updating?

About two months ago, I installed the new Garage Band 10. Everything is fine with that version. It installed in parallel with the old version, GB 6, and I was able to compare them. Both the new and old version had been purchased through the App Store on my Macbook Air.
After about a month, I decided to download the extra content for GB 10. So in order to have ample room for all of that, I deleted the old version (GB 6) and its content. I followed some instructions in a forum for deleting GB 6.. So that seemed to go well also. I've been running in GB 10, all the new content works fine.
But today I happened to look at the list of my Software Updates, which are set to auto for app store applications. Ever since I removed GB 6, Software Update has apparently been trying to install an update for the GB 6 content. It's done so every single night since I removed GB 6.
So I'm guessing that there's something I needed to remove for GB 6, and I failed to remove it, so Software Update keeps trying to install the program again? Hmmm. Any thoughts?

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs. I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it. I have had the same problem with each upgrade. I have to manually uninstall the old version.
Thanks.

It's good to have the software you paid for
Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
Thanks
