Unecessary programs?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was reviewing my programs in control panel and I found some programs that I

do not think I ever use or need and want to know if I can delete them without

interfering with some other programs or operations.

 

Apple Modile Device Support: I do not own or use any Apple products.

 

Apple Software Update: I still do not own or use any Apple products.

 

Quicktime: If I use Windows Media Player do I still need Quicktime?

 

I see a banner on top of the screen 'Click Here to Install Silverlight' What

is Silverlight?

You might as well leave Quicktime on the machine...

there could be some animated data that requires it.

 

As to Silverlight...juts put it into a Google search

If you don't own any Apple software, who do you think publishes Quicktime?

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

I am aware that Quicktime is an Apple product. But since I have Windows Media

Player but no Apple mobile devices, I was trying to find out if I needed to

retain any of the Apple related software.

 

If you do not intend or can not answer my inquiries, I would prefer that you

do not reply.

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

If you view .mov files you will need either Quicktime or a viewer that

supports them. Apple is the owner of Quicktime so that is likely how you

ended up with the Apple references. As for Silverlight it is the next

generation of .NET and being pushed by Microsoft http://silverlight.net/

 

Once Microsoft starts with something like this you might as well knuckle

under and accept it as they simply become increasingly more aggressive in

pushing it forward. Take a look at IE 7. It is considered to be a critical

update. Sooner than later Silverlight will also be forced upon us.

Was Itunes ever installed on your computer? Or an Ipod? Those are

leftovers from one or both of those.

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

Because some digital cameras use .Quicktime for their file format the camera

software often installs Quicktime. I recently installed Cyberlink

Powerdirector and it installed Quicktime.

I believe the part that may have offended Colin Barnhorst was the obvious

lack of any effort to find the answer to any question you had *other* than

asking here. Then again - Colin may have not been offended at all, may have

just been pointing out a mistake obvious to them.

 

In any case - in order:

 

 

"Apple Mobile Device Support"...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+%22Apple+Mobile+Device+Support%22

One link found with the above Google Search states, "Apple says, it

"Provides the interface to Apple mobile devices."", so one could take other

parts of your postings and assume that you, in fact, do not need this

particular application/service. You are insistent about 'not own or use any

Apple products...'

 

 

"Apple Software Update"...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+%22Apple+Software+Update%22

One link found with the above Google Search states, "installs the latest

version of Apple software on computers", so one could take other parts of

your postings and assume that you, in fact, do not need this particular

application/service. However - you are still insistent that you do not own

or use any Apple products, although the next part of your posting seems to

contradict that...

 

 

"Quicktime"...

Not that the two other bits of software weren't Apple products (that you do

not own or use), but this is likely how they got installed. At some point

you (or someone on your computer or perhaps the manufacturer) installed

Apple Quicktime. It would have - by default - installed the rest. Perhaps

you visited a web page that had a quicktime video and just told it that it

was okay to install whatever you needed - who knows. In any case...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+%22Quicktime%22

One link found with the above Google Search states that Quicktime is "a

multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc. capable of handling various

formats of digital video, media clips, sound, text, animation, music, and

several types of interactive panoramic images.", which is correct.

Quicktime animations/movies run rampant on the Internet.

 

 

"If I use Windows Media Player do I still need Quicktime?"...

Open-ended question. No one can accurately answer it without putting

limitations of some sort on it.

 

First - Windows Media Player *will not* natively play all formats of

video/audio you might run into out in the real world. There are just too

many. And sometimes - it might play them, but not as well.

 

Secondly - What version of Windows Media Player are we even talking about

here? One can assume (but it is an assumption) that you are running Windows

XP, so you probably have either v9, 10 or 11 of Windows Media Player... You

could also be using some version of Windows Media Player Classic (6.4)...

 

Some animations and such on various web pages are not going to be visible to

you without Quicktime or perhaps an alternative made to replace it:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm

 

How do you utilize Windows Media Player and what do you use your computer

for and do you foresee ever - in your lifetime with this computer - changing

what you might need on it?

 

The short answer is, "Maybe, maybe not. That answer is something only you

can come up with as we have no information to support any answer, one way or

another."

 

 

"Silverlight"...

I am sure you are about to see a pattern here - but I will explain that

later...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+%22Silverlight%22

One link found with the above Google Search states that Silverlight

"provides graphical and animation display, with multimedia and interactivity

built in". Some call it "Microsoft's competition with Adobe's Flash

product"...

 

 

The short answer to several of your questions are the same. Whether or not

you need it is not something anyone here can tell you directly as no one

here sits around and monitors your computer usage every minute (if they do -

doubtful they are going to admit it here. hah) You have to research what it

is you are going to remove and then decide if you ever run across a need for

it or not during your normal daily use of your computer. Certainly,having

Quicktime installed is not harmful for most. Neither is having the rest you

have listed.

 

Beyond that - to explain how I came at the answers I have give to you is

very simple:

 

Search using Google!

http://www.google.com/

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

 

I suggest Google only because it seems to be the most popular, really.

Everyone knows its name. Many times I utilize a product known as

"WebFerret" that searches using several search engines - Google not being

one of them actually. But - the premise is the same. While asking is easy,

when the question is easy to find the answer for - sometimes it is still

less trouble than asking to find the answer. ;-)

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

You dont delete them, you uninstall using the Add/remove dialogue.

What is installed by the PC supplier depends on whose products they are

promoting

If you uninstall Quicktime, you can simply download / install from Apple.com

if you find the need at a later date

Uncle Grumpy,

 

I recently installed *just* Quicktime and "Apple Software Update" gets

installed with that as well (by default), it seems. I cannot confirm/deny

whether or not you have to install iTunes to get "Apple Mobile Device

Support" installed.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Looks like Apple is becoming as obnoxious as Real Player! ;->

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

Thank you for your thoughtful and comprehensive response to my questions.

 

Yes, it is certainly possible that I downloaded quicktime when I was

visiting a website and had forgotten that I had done so. I am using Windows

Media Player 11. Of cousre, I do not know if I will ever need Quicktime in

the future so your suggestion to keep it available makes a very good sense.

Thank you.

No problem. Glad to help.

Come back if you need more help.

 

Thanks for letting someone know that you found what you were looking for.

Few come back to do that small part. ;-)

Re: Unecessary programs?

 

quicktime is an apple product

and likely got installed covertly

when it piggy back another

program.

 

if i am not mistaken, programs

like acrobat is linked to quicktime

as well. perhaps some freeware

graphics programs installed it for

in any case, i un installed quicktime

a few years ago and haven't needed

since.

 

what you can probably do if you

can't figure out how to remove

the rotten apples is to simply

delete their start up entries,

services in admin tools and

basically delete their folders

in program files.

 

then run a registry cleaner.

Has anyone figured out why this bozo's posts are like half the width

of what "normal" folks posts are?

Because his newsreader's line wrap is set up that way, one imagines.

However, I must mention that I see no cause for you to refer to him as a

"bozo". Play nice with the other kids.
