Can I delete Adobe downloaded files after installation?

I've just successfully installed Production Premium CS6 upgrade to my PC. I still have all of the files downloaded from this installation and previous downloads (LS7.7, set up folders, etc..). I've backed up
all of these files. Do I still need them on my computer? I'd like to free up the disk space they are taking, I'm assuming they are not used as part of the program. thanks.

If the install went fine and you backed them up, it is safe to delete them. Just to make sure, I'd start each program. due to licensing restrictions some components only run serialized and if you ever used a trial of any of the products, there may be a "post-install install" required to activate some of these features like e.g. mochaAE. In the past this was the case for all the MPEG CoDecs, also, though that particular limitation should not apply for CS6.

Can I delete unzipped font files after Font Book install?

Can I delete the unzipped font files for one particular font after it's installed with Font Book? I will offload the zipped file for maybe future installation on another computer but I am confused whether I need to keep the unzipped font files on my Mac after they were installed via Font Book.

Can't open Adobe Premeir Files after rebuilding computer

I had problems with my PC, so rebuilt it, and installed Windows 7 (it was XP SP3 beforehand). After installing Adobe Premeir Elements I now cannot open any previoulsy saved Premier Elements files. An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'. The HDD the files are on was not changed at all.
Anyone help? I need to compete a project, and do get back to where I was would take ages!
Many thanks in advance

An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'.
This error usually indicates that a previous CODEC is not currently installed in the new OS. CODEC's are installed at the system-level, so just having your media files, etc., on the HDD's will not help here. This ARTICLE will give you more background, and tips.
What CODEC is required? That can be found by running the AV files through a utility, like G-SPOT. You need to find that CODEC, download it, and install it.
Once, Windows OS's included many common CODEC's, with the installation. With Vista, things changed, and especially for the Home editions. One had to go to the MS Web site, and download and install the Vista CODEC pack. Do not know exactly what is/is not included in the Win7 installation, but there should be an MS CODEC pack for Win7, where those were missing. WARNING: I do not recommend any of the "free" CODEC "packs," available, other than the ones from MS. Those often cause real problems, and I avoid them completely. At the very best, they fill up one's system with outdated, never-used CODEC's, that have to load, and usually will overwrite good, commercial CODEC's with hacked, or reverse-engineered versions. At the worst, they install all sorts of "stuff," and to get rid of some of that, one needs to completely wipe the system HDD, reinstall the OS, after a complete format, and then reinstall all software.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - let us know what G-Spot says the CODEC's are, and someone can point you to the one(s), that you need.

How to delete a jar file after loading image files from it

Hi,
How can I delete a jar file after some image files have been loaded? For example, say, I have "a.jar" which contains an image "a.gif" in the root directory of the c drive. I would like to get the image size and then delete the jar file. Here is the code snippet:
    URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
    Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
    System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
    File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
    while(file.exists())
        file.delete();
        try
            Thread.sleep(100);
        catch (InterruptedException ignored)
    System.out.println("file deleted.");I get the image size correctly but just can not delete the jar file. Apparently the file handle is not released, but how to close it? Any hint will be appreciated.

I am sure the URLConnection.defaultUseCaches is set before it is connected otherwise I should catch an IllegalStateException on conn.setUseCaches(false).
        try
            URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
         URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
         conn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
         conn.setUseCaches(false);
            Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
            System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
            url.openConnection().getInputStream().close();
            System.gc();
         System.runFinalization();
            File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
            while (file.exists())
                file.delete();
                try
                    Thread.sleep(10);
                catch (InterruptedException ignored)
            System.out.println("file deleted.");
        catch (Throwable t)
            t.printStackTrace();

Yes, it's in your Applications folder and is called "Install OS X". Make sure to empty your trash afterwards to clear the space.

How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine?

How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine. I have tried Control Panel but it will not do anything, there are no error messages, it is like as if it is ignoring my instruction. Why should it be so difficult to delete programs one does not want. Any ideas please.

What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

I had this problem as well! I was working on one of several projects I had, I'm pretty sure they were saved on the computer, my computer started to chug, I reset it, and they ALL disappeared! I can't find any of the files anywhere on the hard drive, but I also can't sign into the cloud to see if they somehow got moved. I reset again, and still nothing.
When I try to log into the cloud it tells me the sync failed. Since I only just signed up for the subscription I don't know if it's common for it to go down, or what.

Can I delete the PDF file's content in Adobe Reader plug-in?

I create a plug-in for Adobe Reader, when I open the PDF file, can I delete the PDF file's content in the plug-in?

The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.
You will not welcome this advice, I am sure, but it is well not to try to use your own deadline to try to make other people feel the problem is more urgent to them.

After I zip a file, should I or can I delete the original files since I'm trying to save space, or do I have to keep the original one?

I'm trying to free some space up on my computer and was going to start compressing as many files as I can. I noticed that when I compress one, I see the new zipped file and then still the original files. So, should I delete the original files after I get the zip file?
Thanks!

Yes, you can delete the original files.
But if you're running short of space, consider getting a larger HD for your Mac.

where can i find my downloaded files in adobe download assistant

You aren't likely to find them in the Adobe Download Assistant. Try downloading again and see if it specifies where the files will be placed before the actual download occurs.

Media Encoder CC 2014.0.1 error on install: I can't unpack the downloaded files (translation).

I have troubles with the latest update of Media Encoder CC (2014). I get an error which says: I can't unpack the downloaded files (translated from Dutch). Please try again. I try again, but it don't help. I have a MacPro early 2008 with Mavericks.
=======================================
Moderator moved thread from Premiere Pro forum to AME, and trimmed the title.

Looks like one component in Media Encoder is either missing or corrupted somehow.
Could you uninstall Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 and please make sure all files are deleted after uninstall? Then, please try re-installing it.

Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
(A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.
