Trying to install an application "A newer version is already installed"

Hi, I'm trying to install some Canon utilities. Specifically I'm trying to install DPP (Digital Photo Professional) and the EOS Utilities and I get an error that says the same version is already installed or that a newer version is already installed. Now, that's all fine and dandy if it were not for the fact that these applications are NOT installed. I GREPped the System Folder, and Library folder as well as user folders looking for instances of "Digital Photo Professional", "EOS Utility", etc but nothing really shows up.
I've run the periodic scripts. I've cleared the caches in the Library, and System folders as well as individual user caches. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
Cheers, Joe

Go into Hard Drive->Library->Receipts and delete whatever you got that is iMovie related.

    Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers.  When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it.  When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3".  Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Java won't update - A newer version is already installed

    Hello all,
    I'm operating on a MacBook Air that i recently updated to OS X 10.9.2. Along with the update, Java 7 was installed. I need to have Java 6 Update 20 installed to use some programs on this computer for work. I've gotten the files to install that update, but when I attempt to do so I receive a message stating that I cannot install on my disk. A newer version is already installed.
    I've gone into finder > Go to Folder and deleted the Java folder after uninstalling java in the first place. This has not fixed my issue. Please advise. I'm sorry if this is in the incorrect format. I wasn't able to post to the applications group.

  • Java for OS X 2012-006 says "A newer version is already installed"

    ...which is true.
    I downloaded the latest Java update today on OS X Lion 10.7.5 (and some other updates).
    I also updated to the latest Java from Oracle (so I was running 1.7 u9 and 1.6 u37). But, the Apple Java update today looks like it got rid of /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences, so I was having some trouble trying to figure out another problem.
    Fast forward a bit and I've hosed up everything. I have Oracle 1.7 u7 installed, but need the Apple 1.6 stuff still. However, when I go to install it, I get the error above: "Alert: A newer version of this package is already installed."
    However, at this point I've deleted a bunch of files in /System/Libraries, in /Libraries, and there is no /usr/bin/java or /usr/libexec/java_home, etc.
    Where in the world does Installer find the previous version and know it's already been installed? Can I somehow make it forget it installed it once and just have it reinstall?

    OK, I think I fixed it (sort of).
    I had tried editing /System/Library/CoreServices/JavaVersion.plist and adding in an older version of Java, but maybe it was looking at the timestamp of the file? I eventually downloaded an earlier version of Apple's Java and manually extracted the packages/contents into a temporary directory. Then I copied over a few directions/executables into the reals /System/Library/Java* areas.
    I re-ran the 006 update and it stuck. I'm guessing the JavaVersion.plist file was it but I don't know for sure (would love to know for sure how Installer.app knows what is installed, where it looks, etc).
    I think this also blew away my Oracle Java 7 install, but that's okay for now because I think I can reinstall that easier.

  • Can't install 1.1.4 - A newer version is already installed

    Hi there,
    I tried to install the new version 1.1.4. But I can't, because the installer tells me, that a newser version is already installed on my computer. In InDesign I can't work with the FolioBuilder, cause he tells me, there's a newer version o_O
    Maybe it's becaue I installed the Hotfix?
    Thx 4 help!

    It definitely sounds like you had installed the "hotfix" which was targeted for a limited number of users.  To confirm, please sign out of the Folio Builder Panel and you should see a light gray version string = "11.3.2.20110823_m_663362" near the bottom...
    Okay if this is the case, you'll now need to apply the update required for the Folio Builder Panel v1.1.4 by performing the following:
    Uninstall “Adobe Folio Builder panel for InDesign CS5.5” (or CS5)  (It’s in /Application/Utilities/Adobe Installers on the Mac and Add/Remove Programs in Windows)
    Install the 1.1.4 Folio Builder Panel only for InDesign CS5.5 (or CS5) installer
    Wasn't sure whether you had InDesign CS5 or CS 5.5 and the platform you are on.  Apologize for the confusion caused and hope this helps!

  • How to completely remove Safari and reinstall. I don't have Safari on my Mac, yet, it says I can't install the newest Safari because a newer version is already installed... Help?

    Okay. So, Safari was giving me some trouble, right? So, I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. I never had a problem doing so before, right? So, why not? I did, and then, when I tried to reinstall it, it tells me I have a newer version already installed. Can someone help me out here?

    Hi..
    Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8   ??
    I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery

    Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?

  • Can't open Numbers on computer, it says to download new version but new version is already installed

    I cant open Numbers in my computer, it says to download new version in app store. i have done that but it still continues to give me that message.

    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • Why do my Numbers documents not open?  Says I need new version, but already updated.

    I updated Numbers, but now when I try to open a Numbers document, it tells me I need a newer version available at the app store.  The app store tells me I am up to date.  What do I do now?

    Be sure you're opening the document with the version of Numbers that is in your main Applications folder.  (The old version is still on your Mac, in a subfolder named iWork '09, and any icon you had on your Dock still points to that old version).
