Where do the replaced programs go?

recently, i have been finding that when i update my prograpms, more space is taken up on the hard drive. when you update the programs to the newer versions, where does the old version go? does it get stored in the computer somewhere where it takes up unneccesary space on the hard drive? if so, how do i locate them and should i delete them?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This varies by program and program updater. Some programs will only get updated if they are in the same folder as the were originally installed in. Others will install a newer version only in the Applications folder. It is suggested to avoid having multiple versions of the same program on your computer that you archive or backup your old programs away if you have need to keep an older program that is the only program able to open an older document type, but not keep the full older version on your hard disk without archiving it away with control-mouse click on the program itself or keeping its original installer program. Don't move the application once you have installed it somewhere. If you need to be able to manage programs from a very busy Applications folders, use the File menu command to make alias and move your aliases into subfolders of your home folder that you create for managing those applications. You can also of course add that application to the Dock or sidebar for purpose of having a shortcut.

  • I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

    I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

    I sent it via FedEx. 
    Call FedEx.  They will be able to track their own packages.  They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!

  • My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?

    My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support Panama, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?
    I would want to know what are the criteria used by the people al espresslane support to deny the opportunity presented by the replacement program, given the situation that these 1 TB Seagate HD´s have had problems and certainly not only in the batch they accepted, but probable in other batches too.
    The second question is about the powerpc support that is lost when updating from Snow Leopard to Lion X: I can not read my medical application UPTODATE.
    I hope that there wil be some kind of support to help me solve that problem, this is my first petition actually.
    Now, I do not have access to my yahoo email, intermitent access to Apple home page, unpredictable access to Apple store and no access to iCloud in my iMac: when I try to access these web sites, the blue web address bar is interrupted and never goes to the end, no filling up the whole bar.
    I do not know what is the first problem, the Seagate HD or the Lion X, but my life is becoming a miserable one, not having the opportunity to enter in the raplacement program, losing the powerpc support because of the updating to Lion X, the necessity to buy Lion X again because it used to appear as a paid program, but not anymore, and finally having no access to my yahoo email, Apple home website and Apple store and no access at all to the iCloud: I am done.
    Chao, Elías.

    You can have Apple or a competent service shop replace the internal HD for a fee, unless you have AppleCare and the iMac is within its warranty period in which case it will cost nothing. If you must pay the cost will be approximately $350 US.
    PowerPC support is gone with Lion. You can install or retain Snow Leopard on another partition, and boot Snow Leopard as necessary.
    The inability to load web pages is a different problem, unless it is related to your failing hard disk.

  • I didn't receive any news about the replacement program for the Ipod 1st generation. I have already sent the serial number online, but didn't have any progress. What should I do? Thank you

    I didn't receive any news about the replacement program for the Ipod 1st generation. I have already sent the serial number online, but didn't have any progress. What should I do? Thank you

    After you set up your service use your repair ID to track your replacement here:

    Remember: You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after Apple gets your current iPod nano
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to change the address in the replacement program for the ipod nano 1G?

    I 'm already sign up in the replacement program of the ipod nano 6G and the emply box has already been send. But later, I noticed that the address wasn't complet. So my question is if and how I could change my address.

    There currently isn't any contact information or support from Apple in regards to this specific replacement scheme. I know it's quite frustrating, but Apple have not offered the best customer care in this situation. My only other piece of advice would be to go to an Apple store if possible. Speak to somebody and explain your situation..they may be kind enough to call through for you.
    I am positive that there is not any means to contact Apple via an online form or by email.

  • Can I still ship my nano in for the replacement program?

    So I applied for the first generation ipod nano replacement program back in November and received the box a couple of days later.  I wasn't convinced about sending it in right away because I wanted to see what the replacement was going to be.  I have finally decided that I want to send back my nano, and I still have the box, but it says that you were supposed to send back the box within ten days of receiving it to avoid the order being cancelled.  If I send in the box now, will I still be able to get my replacement ipod? Thanks for your help!

    You will need to contact Apple to ask about getting a box sent to you so that you can return your Nano.

  • Where is the Flash program available - not the installer - the program?

    For a week now, when trying to install Flash, a veritible necxessity these days like it or not, the program that I downbload that downloads the installler that will download and install Flash times-out on this computer Vista 64, a Vista 32, a Windoze 7, and a XP machine. I read and followed all oif the stuyff that blames the client. Now, will Adobe fix their end?
    Or, provide a linlk to the actuall file that is the Flash program, not a downloader to download a installer to download the Flash program! Obviously, when Adobe times-out on a brand new fresh install of Vista 64, and new computer with 7 - it is not likely the client.
    Oh yes, I had my ISP check, and the modem and router, and plugged directly in to mode bypassing router. Same time-out and, same stupid 'Here is why it's your fault client' messages.
    Why not let some download sites, like Cnet, or Brothersoft or others store it there where can get it?
    Half the work I do needs my browser to use flash. Maybe renaming the insaller to adobe_flop_version26445375483445389209.exe might help?
    A good program doesn't need to be upgraded, updated or foxed once or twice a week.
    I hope Googoyle can find a Flash alternative.

    Posted about a dozen times every day in this forum; here is the link to the offline installers http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

  • [SOLVED] Where is the "ftp" program?

    I am trying to set up Vim to edit files via ftp, but neither ncftp, nor lftp seems to work properly. Now, the default option is "ftp", but I can't find this package anywere in the repos.
    I wonder if it's part of a collection.
    Does anybody know where I can find it?
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot
    Now the problem is that it seems to hang when I issue the comman "ls" for example, and it also hangs in Vim... ncftp works just fine. Odd.

  • Is my Ipod Nano(1st Gen) an affected Ipod Nano that is eligible for the Replacement Program ?

    My Ipod Nano (1st Gen) was produced in 2006 during week 06 of February.
    It states here:http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/
    that "Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006."
    I don't recall which year I brought mine...
    If I send it in and there is nothing wrong with it, I will be charged diagnostic fees and such. I want to make sure it IS indeed an affected nano before I send it in to avoid the fees and the hassle.
    Thank you in advance for your help !

    It should be included unless you already had the battery replaced by them for some reason. They won't ship you the box unless the serial number matches a recalled model and they won't charge you if something is wrong, they will just ship it back to you. You will get a 6th generation nano in silver, not a 1st gen.
