Before installing new activation-free version of CS2, during uninstall of old Photoshop, should I keep or remove preferences and should I use standard or advanced uninstall?

Thank you very much for that info.
Also, I believe I will need to choose the Advanced uninstall option because the Standard uninstall states it will keep activation data. As I will need to use the new activation number, I think Advanced is the more thorough way to go.
Thanks again.

Free version of CS2 - unable to install - please insert CD 2

I am running Win 7
I was pointed at a link for a free version of CS2.
http://www.free-stuff.co.uk/Free_Adobe_CS2_Creative_Suite_Download_Links.php
I assume it is a valid free offer. There is no indication at the Adobe site link.
There is a PDF that describes how to install and, although, the file names mentioned are not exactly the same as those that are downloaded they appear to correspond and everything downloaded correctly (there is a slight problem with the disk 3 link, with a superfluous backslash at the end but that is easy to get over).
I did as specified, i.e. run the disk 2,3 and extras files to expand the content then I ran the disk 1 file and everything appears to be ok until it gets to the stage of requiring disk 2 and doesn't find it.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to point it at the (correct location on the) hard drive (whether it is looking there or at the CD drive I don't know). So, essentially, I am stuck at a message saying "Please insert CD 2 to continue installation". Any ideas?

Installing CS2 on a Windows 8 64bit systems worked for me using the instructions below, followed to a "T".
"Be aware, this won't be for everyone. These are old programs, intended for use on Windows 2000/ XP and Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8 (PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor). We've managed to install CS2 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system, but this is unsupported and there's no telling what issues might crop up.
If you'd like just to try, though, here's what to do. Follow the download link to open a page at the Adobe site, and at a minimum download CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe from the links at the top of the page (that's a bulky 1.07GB in total, so choose a system with a fast internet connection).
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe, make a note of the default extraction folder (it was C:\Creative Suite CS2 for us), and click Next > Finish.
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe, change the default extraction folder name to whatever it was for the previous file, and click Next > Finish.
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe. The extraction folder should be the same as it was for the Disc3 file, but change it if not, and click Next. (The aim of all this being that all the CS2 content should end up in the same folder.)
The installer will appear. Click Next and accept the licence agreement.
The "Personalization" screen then asks for your registration details. Enter your name, (optionally) company, and the serial number 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 (you can paste this from the clipboard).
Next, the installer asks where to install Creative Suite 2. By default this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe on our Windows 7 x64 system, but it immediately complained that "The path your selected for installation contains unsupported characters". This is misleading; the real problem is just that the installer is using a long file name. Manually enter C:\Progra~1\Adobe as the folder name on 32-bit Windows, C:\Progra~2\Adobe on a 64-bit system, press Tab > Next and all should be well.
Read more: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/3328873/adobe-creative-suite-2/#ixzz2TI45RP5Z
You then get to choose to install some, or all of the suite's components. Your options are Adobe Illustrator CS2 (600MB), Adobe InDesign CS2 (400MB), Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2 (450MB), and Adobe Version Cue CS2 (300MB).
We opted for the "Entire Suite" option, and clicked Next.
A Summary screen appears listing all the choices you've made so far. If there's a mistake, click "Back" and change it, otherwise click Install.
If a message appears telling you to "Insert CD 2 to continue installation", open Explorer, and switch to the default extraction folder (we'll assume it's C:\Creative Suite CS2). Manually copy the C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe InDesign CS2 and C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Version Cue CS2 folders and their contents to C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0. Switch back to the installer, click OK and it should now continue.
Once installation is complete (which should only take 3 or 4 minutes, not the "up to 20" suggested by the setup program) a Registration dialog will appear. There's no need to bother registering, really - these are free tools, you're not going to get any support running them on modern PCs anyway - so the best option is probably to choose the "Do not register" option, and click Next > Done.
And with any luck, you should now have installed CS2. The issues may not end there, but you should at least now be able to launch and try out its various applications.

I am trying to install a free version of cs2 but i am not provided with a serial no. What did I do

I AM TRYING TO INSTALL PSCS2 BUT ADOBE HAS NOT PROVIDED A SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DOWNLOAD. wHAT CAN I DO?

There is no free version of CS2. The download you are using is for people who purchased CS2 but are no longer able to reinstall their original files.

So I updated the itunes and now it won't open it, it states a message "the itunes library.itl" cannot be open because it was created by a newer version of itunes, I have unistalled and re-installed newer and older version and still i get this message.

I updated and now i can't use the itunes. I have unistalled several times, installing newer and older versions but still i get this message. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem??

Do I need to uninstall previous version of Firefox before installing new version?

I am worrried about installing new version (3.6.13 ) since old version (3.0.15) is working o.k. Can you advise?

When you install a release version of Firefox (current version is 3.6.15), it will by default replace the existing version. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.

Wish to uninstall corrupt flash player before installing new flash player

Hi there,
My old flash player (FP) is corrupt. As recommended by Adobe, I need to un-install the old FP program before installing a new FP program (flash player 9). But before I can un-install the old FP, I need to disable temporarily the add-on's to my browers, extensions, BHO(browser Helper Object), ActiveX, etc. The objective is to "block" any add on from preventing an un-install or an Install.
Does anyone out there know where these things are in Mac OSX 10.2.8 and how to disable them?
Thanks.

Can you SafeBoot the computer and then run the uninstaller, if available,
for that old of an OS X version? Was not even sure of any support for
Jaguar, since there really hasn't been much for Panther 10.3.9 for awhile.
Must be older players, since the latest ones have been too new for those
older OS X systems, also.
At this moment, I have no ideas on where the parts may be in hiding; and
have not used Jaguar for more than three years, having both sold and
donated the computers I had which best ran Jaguar 10.2.8, (& dual-booted
OS9.2.2) at the same time. A slower transition than expected, since then,
to actually doing more with computers & less learning about repairing them.
Not sure how supportive the Adobe Uninstallers for Flash (and/or Shockwave)
Players are for those still capable of being used by Jaguar 10.2.8; and like so
many of the browsers, older versions 'sort of work' while being left behind.
+I've never had a Flash player become corrupted. What are the symptoms?+
If you have a backup clone of before this item became corrupted, you could try
& revert to the earlier full system clone; or if last but not least, Archive & Install.
+Perhaps someone with a longer-term memory or more experience in 10.2.8+
+will find your post and add the missing link to get you back up & running...+
+I had thought to try & email someone else in a different thread about this one+
+but the link only gives me the topic at hand, and the person has to be in the+
+thread in order to quote from it; apparently. I sought to email a.brody, who+
+had replied in a thread you'd asked a question (different topic) before now.+
There is a short ton of semi-responsive results to a google of the topic inquiry:

One path, I've read about but cannot verify since the original link (site was wiped) is invalid now,
was to follow this suggestion, from the time you downloaded the new Flash Player 9 for 10.2.8:
"Get Flash Player 9 for Mac OSX1-.1-10.3. After downloading, DON'T open it...yet. Search all your hard drive
for "Flash Player.plugin". Delete any you find. Search for "flashplayer.xpt". Delete any you find. Empty the
trash. Quit all browsers, and install the Flash Player you downloaded. Next, search for "Flash Player.plugin".
Copy it and paste it at Library/Internet Plugins, unless it's already there. Paste it at yourhomefolder/Library
/Internet Plugins, unless it's already there. Search for "flashplayer.xpt". Copy and paste it at Library/Internet
Plugins, unless it's already there. Restart computer. Open Disk Utility. Select the hard drive, select "First Aid".
Repair Disk Permissions. When repaired, quit Disk Utility. Launch Safari or Firefox." - unknown 10.2.8 author.
Maybe that means something helpful.

BB 8320 showing APP error 523. How do I back up data before installing new os

Help me pls I'm very desperate> my BB is just over 1 year old. Woke up to find the screen with APP ERRor 523 reset . I've tried all tricks in previous treads without success. Only thing left is to install new os. Trouble is that the BB is not backed up yet. How can I back it up before removing old os and installing a new os

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry, but it is highly likely that your data is already lost...so there is nothing to backup now. This simply proves the point that there are two kinds of computing device users...those who have lost data...and those who will. Backups before things go wrong are simply not optional.
Good luck and let us know!

Do I have to uninstall old Brother printer before installing new one?

I have a Brother all-in-one MFC420CN that has seen better days. Just bought a new Brother all-in-one MFC-J615W. Do I have to uninstall the old one before installing the new? If so, how do I do that and how do I make sure I've gotten rid of everything connected wtih the old printer?

You don't have to uninstall the old printer. It is not going to cause you any trouble, just make the new printer the default one. If you want to uninstall it, go to System Preferences>Print & Scan. Click on the old printer and click the minus sign on the bottom.

HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

Trying to install my Adobe Pro on a new computer. Do I have to uninstall on old computer first?

need help installing Adobe Pro on a new laptop. Do I uninstall from old computer first??

You can have two installations of Premiere at the same time, like I do with a laptop and a desktop. So what I would suggest is to just go ahead and install on your new laptop and get it up and running well before deactivating on your old computer. This will allow a backup system to be available until you until you are comfortable with the new system. Then and only then Premiere 6 and earlier under "Help" you deactivate (in CC and CC 2014) it is called "Sign Out".

Do you uninstall old verison before installing new Version of Java

I have read on Suns website you should keep older versions installed due to some pages will need it to view properly. I have read many different opinions some say keep them installed and others say remove them.
What is the right answer?
This is my current version from the Console Screen
Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01
Using JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
This information is from the about screen
Java 2 platform standard edition
Version 1.4.2_01 (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
I have Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition (SP2) Intel P4 3.4 GHz, 2GB ram
Please advise

I keep most of my installations, but it's enough to keep one of each major version. I.e one 1.4, one 1.5, and so on.

thanks hope i dont seen to dim in asking these questions

Anytime you perform a major change to your computer you should first make a backup. Do this as follows:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, have an empty external hard drive large enough to store all the files on your internal hard drive.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Beyond this you have stated you will be installing software including Snow Leopard that has been lent to you by a friend. Since installing single-user software on more than one CPU at a time is illegal we cannot help you further.

Do I uninstall before installing new drive

Sorry, I am suuuurrree this has been asked a million times, but didn't see it in the FAQ.
I am putting a Sound Blaster Li've into my rig, do I need to install from the CD? If so, do I install the updated driver listed in the download section over it's Both of them, there is a big pack and one that says I need it st.
From this page:
http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&sOSName=Windows+XP&regi on=&Product_Name=Li've%2+5.&Product_ID=50&modelnum ber=&driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=8&y=4
Thanks.

You just install the Li've Uni-Pack, not the driver update pack. That update pack is for an update to the initial unified driver that is no longer posted.
The problem is the only software update that'll then install are the 2 PlayCenter downloads. First, 3.02.52 then 3.02.70. The other software needs a previous installation to update.
A way around this is to install the full cd from badboy's posting of Creative cd's. After that you just need the PlayCenter 3.02.70 update. It installs the same package as the Li've Uni-Pack but also has full versions of the software package.

Do I need to remove old drivers before installing new ones (Windows XP)

I have an Acer Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows XP home edition installed. I've reinstalled the OS by using recovery tool, updated it again. I want to finish setting my laptop up by updating some drivers, mainly chipset and GPU. I've already found that newer ones are availabe. But do I need remove the old drivers first to avoid any problems in the future? Or do I just run the setup executable of every driver?

Run the setup and check if the new one are installed; if not remove the old drivers and install the new.
