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?
love, b

  • Deleting previous versions of iPod and iTunes software

    I'm trying to clean house. Is it safe for me to delete the older versions of iPod and iTunes software that are on my C drive? I would probably die if I lost or misplaced my music files! Thanks.

    I see you are a Windows user. There is an entire forum area devoted to Windows users:

  • Uninstalling IPOD and Itunes software

    I had various updates to IPOD Updater. Lo I found three prior versions on my computer and could not uninstall the earlier versions. I finally manually deleted them using Explorer and reinstalled the latest updater.
    I was then able to fix my Ipod. However I still have the Uninstall for all the versions in my Register and also cannot eliminate them or Itunes. The Apple software is gone but the Windows registry still shows it and when I tell it to uninstall using Control Panel, it tries but is still there.
    Can anyone ever delete Apple software completely from Windows?

    Hey ganvan,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Support. The following resource outlines what you can do in this circumstance:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    1. Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    2. Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    3. Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thanks,

  • VERY strange error message and behavior from ipod and itunes software

    Hi. I have two major issues with itunes 7.02 and ipod.
    1) After a successful install, and after double-clicking my desktop itunes icon, the program opens, but it takes about 5 minutes to load (I kid you not, maybe longer)... I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 5 seperate times and it never opens any quicker. Please help, extremely frustrating.
    2)THE BIGGER PROB: I get the following error message when connecting my ipod (video) to my computer (itunes is already opened at this point, as it does NOT open automatically): " The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the ipod's software. Problem is, I have reinstalled itunes 5 or 6 times already! HELP! Thank you!

    in sorry i cant help with the speed thing,
    make sure you install all the software from the CD your ipod came with, if that dosent work, try updating your ipods firmware : http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Good luck and welcome to the forums

  • IPod and iTunes not compatible with WinXP

    It appears that the iPod (I have a 4GB nano) and iTunes (I tried what was on the CD, as well as the latest download of 6) are not compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition (patched to the hilt, all the latest updates installed).
    Installation works fine but iPod updater does not terminate cleanly and the iPod nano does not get rebooted properly, and although iTunes sees the iPod when it is plugged in, it does not recognize it from plug-in to plug-in (it's supposed to remember the name of the iPod device, and not re-prompt you to register, etc.).
    Also, when attempting to copy MP3 files to the iPod, it appears as though they are copying but they do not wind up on the iPod no matter how hard you try.
    Windows 2000 SP4, however, does not have any problems with the iTunes or iPod updater software and everything seems to work just fine.
    It would behoove Apple to investigate the compatibility problem that their software has with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and fix it as soon as possible.

    When i startup itunes it says:
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the Ipod's software"
    I am on xp media center edition 2005
    When I run the ipod updater it gives me "ipod service error"
    What can i do?
    I bought the 4gb nano just yesterday.
    both my ipod and itunes software are the Updated September 23, 2005 versions
    ps on my old pc with winxp sp2 barebones edition, it works fine...
    maybe its cos in mce 2k5 i got 2 users?

  • I cannot install the latest version of itunes as I have old versions of bonjour and quicktime. I can't remove these programs either. Help please as I have tried almost everything I have found so far on the the web.

    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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • IPod and iTunes Need Couples' Counseling?

    OK, I've been having some really weird problems with connecting my new 4th gen iPod touch to my Windows Vista PC and getting them to recognize each other properly. I plug my iPod into my computer's USB port with the iPod USB cable, expecting my computer to recognize the iPod like it used to with my old one, and automatically bring up iTunes. But to my surprise, no such luck. The computer and the iPod don't connect properly, I guess. The weird thing is, if I open iTunes manually, the program will freeze, I will force-quit it through the task manager, and then if I disconnect and reconnect the iPod, the computer will recognize it and everything will be peachy. Until iTunes freezes again, and I have to shut it down again, and then even if I open iTunes manually, it will not recognize the iPod (which won't appear in the sidebar in iTunes the way it usually does). Anything I can do to get my iPod and iTunes back on the same page, so they will play nicely together again?
    Thanks!

    What version of iTunes are you running on your PC? What about the iOS version on your iPod Touch? Is it possible that you are running iOS 4.2.1 on your iPod Touch and have an iTunes version lower than 10.1? If that is the case, try updating your iTunes to the newest release and see if that helps.

    Hi all. Never had any problems with iTunes over the past 6 or 7 years but suddenly (in last week or two) I can't play any songs with 10.6.1. I can select songs and get the speaker symbol, but the song does not play and the indicator stays at 0, while the play button is replaced by the pause button, as it normally does when a song is playing. I am using a one year old PC with Windows 7 and have had no other issues. Tried starting iTunes in safe mode...same result.Thoughts? Thanks.

  • Reloading ipod and itunes on a new computer

    I am trying to reload ipod and itunes on a new computer I recently bought. Because of disc management issues, I had these on an external drive (assigned the letter "F") on my old system. The letter "F" is assigned to a disc drive on my new computer. Every time I try to load ipod or itunes, the installer sequence tells me there is no available memory on drive F of the new machine (true enough), but will not let me re assign to a new drive.
    suggestions on how to resolve this?
    many thanks. Bill

  • Trouble synchronizing IPOD and ITunes

    I had the Ipod and ITunes syncing up correcting under my old laptop under Windows XP Professional. I got a new laptop with Windows XP Professional. I copied all the songs from the old to the new laptops and syncing was ok. The new laptop developed a problem, and I got a new replacement. I copied all the songs to the second new laptop and tried to sync up the laptop. Songs play okay in itunes, but the Ipod was wiped clean. Any ideas? I would hate to go back to reload CD's from my collection. Thanks.

    It says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action Please  install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel" :/ it says this when i try to reinstall and uninstall

  • HT1339 my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand.  So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct?  If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive.  Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
    If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

  • Deleting old versions of Ipod

    Can deleting old versions of Ipod for Windows in Add/Remove programs safely free up disk space without harming the library? I need to make space on my hard drive! Any info would help. Thanks!

    If you have itunes 7, you can delete/remove all of them. If you want to be on the safe side, remove all but the most current one (aka 2006-06-28)

  • My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..

    im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
    60 gb video   Windows XP  

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
