Should I delete LR 5.4 now that I've downgraded to LR 5.3?

LR 5.4 kept crashing and couldn't find the solution so I'm back to LR 5.3. But now I've got two versions on my HD. If I delete LR 5.4 will the other version still function?

Yes.

Thoughts on deleting my iTunes backups now that I have iTunes Match?

Now that I have successfully subscribed to iTunes Match and it works on my work iMac, home MacBook Pro and iPhone and was thinking: "can I free up space on my Time Machine backups?"
So what does anybody think? In theory, Apple has done this for me? Can I free up space and sleep soundly at night?
regards, Chris

You can free up the space, but I'm not so sure about the sleeping soundly.
If you just rely on Match as your backup, you are taking a few risks.
Apple would not accept any reponsibility if they lose your library somehow. It's unlikely, but possible.
Are you sure that the copy of your library is correct? There will almost certainly have been some mismatches along the way. If that matters then don't rely on match.
Personally, I wouldn't rely on match at all as a backup.

Deleting backups from MBP now that TC is backing up iMac

Have basically been backing up stuff from an MBP to a TC with no issues.
Now have an iMac which will be the main machine, so the plan is to back up stuff from the iMac to the TC.
I reset the TC to factory defaults, and set it up for the iMac - which all seems fine - except the old MBP backups are still on it too judging by the space available.
What would be the best way to delete the old MBP backups?

If you double-click on your Time Capsule to open it, you should see one +sparse bundle+ for each Mac. Your backups are inside them.
If you want to delete all the backups from the MBP, just delete the corresponding +sparse bundle+ via the Finder. That may take a while, so connecting via Ethernet might be a good idea.

Should I remove all Premier Elements now that I have CS5?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 & 11, Premier Elements 10 & 11. Also added CS5. Can I safely remove all the Elements programs and not lose photos?

Hi,
You can keep CS5 and PSE/PRE both together.
Although regarding uninstallation : PSE/PRE is just a Databse of your photos. They resides orginally on your harddisk and PSE makes the links to them.
Please refer the link to see the process: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/uninstall-premiere-elements-photoshop-element s.html
*In the article it says PRE content , which is an explicit content get installed along with PRE and its NOT the USER content (such as user images or videos).

TS1368 I had to delete the Itunes files entirely from my computer. Now that I want to download Itunes again, I can not find a site that it let me to do so.

Hello,
I had to delete Itunes from my Windows Xp, now that I am looking for a site to download it again, I can not find any. I went to Apple, I got as far as "download" but when I klicked on it, nothing happened. What should I do?
Thank you for your help.

iTunes is free... there is no membership fee.
Try providing some specifics about what is going on and others might be able to provide a resolution.

You need to reinstall all of your Apps. That should replace all of the support files you nuked.

If your MacBook shipped with an install disc you'll have to use that. If it didn't you should be able to use Internet Recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
EXactly which macbook do you have?

My computer froze so i restarted it, and now that its back on every document i'v worked on has popped up on my desktop and will not exit. what should i do?

it is a macbook pro, OS X mountain lion 10.8.2, i can open new windows and exit them but not all the pop ups

Start from your recovery system. OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion includes a built in set of utilities in the Recovery System. Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up. After the Recovery System is finished starting up, you should see a desktop with a OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" application window. Note: If you see a login window or your own desktop and icons, it is possible that you didn't hold Command-R early enough. Restart and try again.
When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
Click the First Aid tab. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

That's an entirely different thing from backups. A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.
Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups). While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen. There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space. But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected. If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.

You're not the first or only one.
There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system. Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article. All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
           Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
           If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of what was on the hard drive
No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.

I can't delete my templates in iPages now that I am running Lion.

I can't delete my templates in iPages now that I am running Lion.
Any Suggestons? There is no Application support or Library folder in my home file.

These folders are hidden because many users did odd things with them.
Here are three ways to get rid of that.
(1) go to to the menu "Go to" (Aller in French) and type :
~/Library
(2) press option and go to the menu "Go To". The item Library will be available
(3) run this AppleScript
--{code}
do Shell Script "chflags nohidden ~/Library"
--{code}
This one unhidde the folder so you need it only once. Keep the script because maybe an update may reset the hidden flag.

I wouldn't trust that backup.
Make sure the system is connected to AC and Do Over.

Can anyone help me find my old library now that I appear to have deleted it or overwritten it accidentally? I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action.

I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action that caused me to delete previous library. Can anyone help? Apple support have been hopeless as they don't seem to respond to this particular problem but keep giving me answers to finding my purchases which i already know how to do!

I recently opened my photos with iphoto after uploading my old photos from my PC to finder. Now that I have my photos in iphoto, is it ok to delete the albums of photos I have in finder?

I had a problem importing my photos to iphoto when i first started using my mac, so instead I just saved all my pictures in finder. Now that I have all my photos in iphoto, I'm not sure if its ok to delete the photos i originally uploaded to finder.

Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then yes - everything imported is in iPhoto and the source photo can be deleted

Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current? Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?

I have 2 questions about the new Photos app for Mac (I'm running 10.10.3 on my MacBook Air 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 mid 2012)):
1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud? That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.

1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
You can, but I would wait, until you have have been working with Photos for some time and are sure, that everything migrated well. There may be hidden flaws in your library and teething problems with Photos. Don't be in a hurry to abandon iPhoto completely. You may need to go back, until bugs have been fixed. Th Photos Library does not duplicate the photos in your iPhoto Library. the media files are shared and do not need extra space: See: Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud? That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.
If you have enough iCloud storage. But Photos will still need space for local thumbnails on all devices.
See: Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
