What are the steps to uninstall Creative Cloud on a Mac and create a brand new re-install

I am having problems with my Mac OS system disk and have decided to re-format the disk and start again.
However I have noted numerous members who have removed Creative Cloud products only to find when they wish to re-install being informed that the software is already on their disk.
Therefore, what I need to know, is what exactly is the procedure that will allow me to erase my disk, re-build it and then download a new copy set of the Creative Cloud software?
I don't want, when I have rebuilt the hard disk, to be faced with the statement that I already have Creative cloud on my disk ... when in fact I have erased it.
Thank you.
James.

You want to do two things:
Deactivate the installed programs via the Help menu.
Uninstall the programs from the links provided in the folder Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.

  • HT1657 What are the steps in watching a rental that was purchased and downloaded to your iphone 4?

    What are the steps in watching a rental that was purchased and downloaded to your iphone 4? or to watch on a home laptop?

    In order to watch it, just start playing it - if you've downloaded or synced it to your iPhone then it should be in the Videos app, or if it's on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies section of your library. You have 30 days to start watching it from when you rent it, and once you start watching it you then have 48 hours (24 hours in the US) to finish watching it. As long as the film has been fully downloaded downloaded then you should be able to watch it without being online.
    There is a FAQ page about rentals here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657

  • What are the licensing terms for Creative Cloud Market Assets?

    Hi, can anyone enlighten me on the licensing terms for Creative Cloud Market Assets? I have seen this question asked in the forum before, but as yet there's been no answer (or no helpful answer).
    For example, although royalty free, does the licence exclude items for resale? For example:
    • Can a CC Market pattern be used on a mug for resale?
    • Can a CC Market pattern be used as an allover print on accessories? ie a children's bag
    Thanks for the help.

    I would like to uninstall my old CS5 Design Premium from my computer to reinstall it on another computer. What are the steps? Is there something special with the activation codes, etc?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you prefer to you can keep ut on the current machine and just install it on the new one like you did originally.  If you wish to eliminate it on the other machine, the first thing to do is to deactivate it by opening a program in the suite and selecting Help -> Deactivate in the top toolbar.  That is all you need to do to disable the software.  At this point if you prefer to you can uninstall it if you like.
    As far as getting it on the new nmachine, as I just indicated, just install it like you did the first time.

    What are the steps I need to take to upgrade my Macbook with Tiger to Lion and the cloud?  I have the install disk for Snow Leopard.

    Hi Carol, good/sound advice by Ziatron so far.
    We need more info about your Mac to see if it will even be capable,
    So we know more about it...
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 6 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
    You'll need to buy SL/10.6 first & get it to 10.6.8, then get Lion... if you can run it.
    Or if you can erase your disk...

    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they do still have it:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
    It looks like Apple will have Lion available on USB drives for $69...

  • What's the different between buying Creative cloud membership and  buying subscription?

    What's the different between buying Creative cloud membership and  buying subscriptions(month to month/yearly)?
    If i am not allowed to buy creative cloud in my country, Can i still buy subscription?
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Thanks
    MM

    Those are two separate monthly subscriptions to individual apps allowing you to cancel at any time. It's the most expensive but the most flexible way of subscribing.
    Creative Cloud is a collective term for a subscription to the entire Master Collection of apps plus all the extra products and services which come with the entire Cloud membership. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativecloud/tools.html
    If you definitely only want one app then a standalone subscription is the way to go.
    If you want at least two apps, then a yearly Cloud membership is cheaper overall.
    Which country are you in? Cloud memberships are not available in all countries.

  • What are the steps for a clean reinstall of the os?

    I have updated to mavericks from mountain lion and well to say the least, my 2011 macbook pro has been running slower than what it should be. I have been reading forums that other people are having problems as well and was able to fix some of them by doing uninstalling their os and reinstalling it for a clean install. So my question is what do i need to do before i reinstall the os, will my files be safe? Also what are the steps i need to take to reinstall the os?
    Im honestly thinking about just going back mountain lion, this update adds nothing for me than it being free and the extra batery life, which i havent noticed, but when it takes forever to open up itunes or switch tabs in safari or open up word, theres a problem. Anyways can anybody help me out here?

    A clean install means you'll have to re-install all third party apps from scratch and migrate nothing. Your files will not survive a clean install, so be sure you have a good backup to copy them back after.
    Are you sure the issue is with the system and not just something in your user account? Have you tried logging into your Guest account and see how it works, or try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.
