What to do with old versions of iLife and iWork

Hi,
I just now upgraded to Mavericks and subsequently updated all of my Apple apps. I now have dedicated folders for some of the older apps. I'd like to preserve hard drive space and was wondering if I could delete the previous versions without any harm done? Thanks in advance!

Do not be in any hurry to delete the old versions.  The jury is out on the new iOS type Pages and Numbers, which have one or two functions omitted.  I personally am fully in favour of having iOS7 and Mavericks apps the same, for familiarity sake, but others miss Mail Merge for one thing and Header/Footers in Numbers.  I don't use these and there are ways around the problem.
Also note that once a document has been saved in the new version, it cannot be opened in the old one, so be careful.

  • What to do with old versions?

    Every time I install a new version of production Premium, the old one is still there. Is it safe to uninstall the old ones, or do they share common components?

    I agree with piprod. This is a tedious if not time and computer memory consuming  transition from CS4:CS6. I have XMP templates and actions that I do not want to loose when I do get around to uninstalling the older version of the CS4. Should I just manually extract these files onto my MAC OS X6.x desktop? Will uninstalling the other CS4 programs like Acrobat and Dreamweaver create mayhem or will I get some space back and a seamless transition?

  • Issues with old version of Quicktime and Windows Vista

    I have recently upgraded a PC of mine to Vista. In doing so, I seem to have issues installing an old application that used Quicktime 1.6 (yes, 1.6, you read that right). It is an old piano teaching application called Piano Discovery) that uses QT1.6 to play video and audio files as part of the instructional process. It was originally written to run on Windows 3.1. The problem is that sometimes it will install in Vista and sometimes it will not. It seems that if a fresh clean install of vista is done, and the program is installed immediately thereafter, before any updates from microsoft, it works. But not always. When it does not work, trying to install QT1.6 as part of the program installation results in the following error:
    QTINSTAL caused a general Protection Fault in module QT16INST.EXE at 0002:5DA9
    The installation then fails. Now you are all probably wondering why I don't use a newer version of Quicktime. Tried that. Won't work, unless there's something I need to do to quicktime settings to make it look like the older version so the piano software will recognize it and use it.
    I realize I may be SOL here, but thought I would post in hopes that someone might have a solution. Thanks.

    Ok, so you need to install this on multiple systems and need to determine what steps work and which ones don't as the variables that you can discern don't seem to play a role... repeating what appear to you to be the same steps on two different systems yields two different results. And, if this is a classroom setting, you don't want to have to depend on virtualization because the important thing is that the app is simple to access. I'd also guess that there's some other reason for the push to Vista or you'd have stayed with what works (I've worked in situations where, for whatever reasons, decisions are made and you just have to work with what you're dealt!)
    I'd think you're correct in that there's probably not a provision for the latest QuickTime to behave like the older version as large portions of the API has been rewritten over the years.

  • Addons - new versions of addon with old versions of B1

    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know if new versions of addons work with old versions of SAP B1?
    I have a client who is asking for the latest Payment Engine (PL70) but they are on SAPB1 2005A SP01 PL12 which has the Payment Engine PL30.
    My thinking is that you will need to upgrade the B1 app to PL34, if you want to use the latest addon?
    or am i way out and infact the addons work independently of B1 and will therefore work on an old patch of B1?
    TIA,
    John Treweeks

    Hi John,
    Patches are bug fixes and do not change functionality (unless the functionality was broken of course ). Addons communicate through the UI and DI APIs which are installed as part of the patch. Therefore, the theory should be that addons are pretty much patch independent.
    But, as has been pointed out above, it's really difficult to predict exactly what results you'll get. I guess sometimes an addon patch could have been released in order to correct a problem that was both addon and DI API related. In that case, you'd need to install the addon patch and the SBO patch.
    I never recommend you go to the latest patch until it has been around for a few weeks. However, going to a patch that is dated just prior to the addon patch release sounds like a sensible policy. In any case, testing is vital, prior to installation on a production site.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • What's wrong with old applet tag?

    Hi there,
    What is wrong with old <applet> tag? It will stop displaying java applet in the new browsers? What do we gain by using <embed>?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    The applet element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 but still works. Continue to use it to display AWT applets in NE else if using SWING applets must to use EMBED. See Java documentation for details, in special the OBJECT tag chapter..better reading about HTML converter.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Compiling old version of GCC and Binutils

    Hello everyone. I'm in search of a way to create bflt executables, and tried my best to follow this guide, but it requires compilation of a rather old version of gcc and binutils. This is what I'm getting after trying to run make.

    /usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h:27:12: note: previous declaration of ‘sys_nerr’ was here

    It is gcc 2.7.2.3, and binutils 2.9. Is there anything I can do to make everything work nicely, or should I go the route of installing an older version of Linux in a virtual machine, then attempting this in that environment? I currently have gcc 4.6 installed. In case it matters, here is my uname -a

    I appreciate any advice you guys can give me!

  • Win 2000:  old versions of ipod and itunes software

    Is it safe to delete all the old versions of itunes and ipod software that remain after new versions are loaded in. I would uninstall using win uninstaller.
    Sam

    hi Samuel!
    usually, previous versions of itunes and quicktime are removed by installations of higher versions of the software. (the earlier versions of ipod updaters remain installed though.)
    what versions of itunes and QT do you still have on the PC?
