Can I delete CS4 after CS5 upgrade?

Can I delete CS4 after I installed the CS5 upgrade, or will that have a negative effect?
Thanks

If you don't want to keep the older version:
uninstall the older version first, BEFORE installing the new version.
The Adobe Uninstallers have a nasty habit of messing with essential support files of the new version because they mistake them for the older versions.  When that happens, you have to jump through hoops just to uninstall the damaged version, as not even the Uninstaller will work on it. (You would need something called the CS3Clean Script, CS4Clean Script aor CS5Clean.  Avoid having to go there.  Honest.)
All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  The Upgrade installer will simply ask you for the old serial numbers when it doesn't find an older qualifying version installed.
Once more:
Do NOT uninstall an older version after upgrading to a new one; do it BEFORE.

    Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

    You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
    Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

  • Can I delete LR2 after upgrading to LR4?

    I just upgraded from LR2.7 to LR4.2.     LR2.7  is still on my computer....  The upgrade transferred my old presets OK. So, can I delete LR2.7 without any problems?
    Ed in Florida

    Yes, you can uninstall older versions of LR. The LR upgrades (and updates) are complete programs - they don't need the older versions to run.
    P.S. Even if you want to fall back to the old process version of LR 2.x, LR 4.x still does support them (menu settings -> process ->... or at "camera calibration" pane).

  • CS4 to CS5 Upgrade has install/configuration problems ???

    (My system is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit )
    Awile back I purchased:
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (FULL version) on the Installable DVD's.
    ...and just recently, last week, I decided to bite the bullit, and go for the 64-bit CS5 version upgrade.
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (Upgrade version) -downloadable option (its cost $299.00 US)
    Method 1./ Now, this seemed to be more of an installation/config issue for me. but after I ran the CS5 upgrade, it did NOT
    upgrade/change any of my Desktop icons/links ?
    In other words, the same old CS4 Icons were on the desktop.
    Instead, I had to goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\...CS5\..., and then create a shortcut to the CS5 executable onto my Desktop?
    Method 2./
    ok, this so-called CS5 upgrade option obviously dos NOT work right.
    So, I completely UN-installed CS4 and CS5, and started from scratch again, but this time I simply installed just
    the CS5 Upgrade binaries.
    Well that seemed to work fine, and it also seemed to ievennstall all the 64-bit CS5 modules, though it also created some extra CS4 directories in C:\(x86)Program Files\Adobe... ? why would it do that ?
    ok, well has anyone else also experienced any of this upgrade weirdness. ?
    Note: I verified my Windows 7 64-bit was up-to-date, and I also "updated" CS5, actually it updates itself.
    I have also had a couple "BLUE-screenies", and crashes" in CS5, none of which, in Windows I can really tell what is going on ?, and I never had these issues on CS4 on this same PC.?
    I called the 1-800 number for Adobe Technical Support and basically they said the CS5 upgrade that I purchased should have worked fine. uhmmm ya'd think eh?
    So, I thought this forum might be more "aware", and/or helpful regarding my Upgrading woes.
    any thoughts, would be appreciated.
    Thankyou.
    Rick.

    An Adobe upgrade is an upgrade by price, only. What I mean is that you're buying a new, fully separate version of the Adobe software from whatever your previous version was, and upon installation, your previous version is left intact (hence the reason your icons did not change--CS4 was still installed).
    An update, on the other hand (which is what the program automagically did), actually does replace files, but only in the version that you're updating. A semantic issue, perhaps, but an important distinction.
    You can run CS4 and CS5 side-by-side if you like, but if you want to be rid of CS4 and maintain only CS5, you need to uninstall CS4--or preferably, reinstall from the OS up. I always like to start fresh when a new suite comes along.

  • I can't install CS4 after deinstall - Windows 7

    When I try to install CS4, I immediately get a screen with the error message "Cannot Install Please check the Quit button".
    The problem came after I tried to install some plugins from Nik Software, and something went wrong. Then I tried to deinstall the CS4. It was impossible to install CS4 again.
    I have tried allmost everyting I could read on the net including start the install program as administrator, manually delete CS4 files and folders and running the Adobe Suite Cleaner. Some details: Windws 7, 64 bit, CS4 11.0.2.
    What can the problem be?
    Soren

    Hi soren,
    CS4 software has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 7.
    If it was working fine for you before, you can uninstall the software completely by using the Cleaner tool ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html )
    And then download and install the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    Note : Make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

  • Can't delete file after renaming due to Word file handle still present. Error staes document is still in use but it's really not. Worked fine in 2007 but not in 2010.

    I have some code associated with a Word Template. The template is opened, filled out and saved via a routing in vba. This all works fine in older 2007 version (which is version it was originally created in). Once this file is saved, the user can change the
    date in a text box and re-save document. The code saves using the new date for part of new file name and then deletes that older file from the server. It fails at the delete function because the newer version of word is not dropping the file handle from the
    first named file when user saves it to the new filename. In older version (2007) this handle was released as soon as file was saved to a different name. I can't seem to figure out how to release the old document filename so the old document file can be deleted.
    I hope I explained this well enough.
    Here's the code that woeked in version 2007 but fails in version 2010.

    mogulman52 and Don,
    I went back and looked at my code and had already updated it to SaveAs in the new docx format. It still holds the lock handle in place until Word closes, unlike earlier versions which released the lock handle when you did a SaveAs.
    As a note, all my Word and Excel macro-enabled (dotm & xltm) templates are read only and are never filled in, prompting the user for a file name on any close event or if they run the code gets auto-named. I do the SaveAs and concatenate the file name
    from data on the document (or sheet) that has been filled in. During the SaveAs the docx gets saved to a network folder and also on a local folder. The lock gets renamed to the filename and remains until Word is closed.
    So my code still fails at the point noted below while trying to delete an old filename version after the file has been saved as a new filename in a new folder. So....
    The code is looking in the last folder where the docx file was saved for the older filename so it can be deleted. The newest docx version has already been saved in a different folder and has a new lock handle of its own. That lock is not my problem, it's
    the older file lock which really exists in the same folder as the first filename that the docx was saved to. It does not release that lock until I exit Word. My work around has been to instruct all users to manually delete the older version file.
    The other odd thing is this only happens when I run it from code, if you manually go through these steps with the SaveAs menu drop-downs in Word it will release the lock handle???
    Hope this isn't to confusing and thanks for all your suggestions and help.

  • Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

    Hello,
    After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
    1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
    2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
    3) Deactivating the firewall;
    4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
    5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
    6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
    7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
    I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
    I cannot sync anything at all.
    BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
    It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
    Thanks.
    D.

    No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail.  For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud.  I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work.  When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed.  If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers.  hmmm.  I hope they get this bug fixed some.  would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go.   Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating.  I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

  • Can i delete iPhoto after iOS8 installation?

    iPhoto was been replaced by Photo after iOS8 installation, so my question is:
    can i delete iPhoto?

    iPhoto was been replaced by Photo after iOS8 installation, so my question is:
    can i delete iPhoto?
    Make a backup to save it.
    Open "Photos" to migrated your photos to Photos, otherwise your photos will be deleted
    Right now, iPhoto is unsupported on iOS 8 and does not run.
    Unfortunately, Photos is not a full replacement for iPhoto. Many features are missing, as you will discover - no Journals, no books, no brushed adjustments, no tags, no Info panel.

  • IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

    I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them.  I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off.  I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

    Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

  • I can't delete songs since I upgraded to IOS 7

    I tried the swipe right to get the delete button to get rid of some songs on my ipad, but it won't work.  I tried using manual sync on itunes to get rid of some songs, and that didn't work.  I tried using "only sync checked music and videos" and that didn't work.   I don't want to delete them from itunes, as I have them on my ipod.  I"m having a similar problem with movies.   For that, I even tried deleting it from my itunes, and IT STILL IS THERE on my ipad, and I can't delete it in edit mode.   What can I do?

    If you have a backup, try this:
    1. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content a settings
    2. Set Language; tap arrow on top right
    3. Set Country; tap Next
    4. Enable Location Service; tap Next
    5. Setup WiFi (connect to internet)
    6. Setup as new; tap Next
    7. Sign-in with Apple ID
    8. Agree with Apple Terms and Conditions
    9. Enable iCloud

  • Can't restore backup after OS upgrade

    I just did an OS upgrade on my Z30.  Before doing the upgrade I synced contacts with Microsoft Windows contacts and did a complete backup, using default settings.
    After the upgrade, which naturally wiped the phone, I synced the contacts back without any problem.  But when I try to Restore Device in BB Link, the backup file shows up in the Restore Optoins window of BB Link but a warning says "There are no items available to transfer" and the Restore button is greyed out.  I have about 1.5G of documents saved that I need to restore.
    How do I get them back?

    I see your post has gone unanswered for 2 weeks, could be because no-one knows the solution or your post is confusing.
    I do not know the solution but what is confusing about your post is you said "After the upgrade, which naturally wiped the phone" Upgrades do not wipe the phone, how did you update ?

  • Can I deactivate cs4 after I installed cs5?

    I installed and activated cs5 and already had cs4 running on pc.  I want to transfer cs4 to colleague so I need to deactivate cs4 and uninstall.  Can I do deactivate and uninstall cs4 safely after I have installed and used cs5?  Thanks for any advice
    >>> Actually, I just read on another discussion re cs3 and cs5 - it is recommended that you deactivate and uninstall the earlier version before installing the newer version and to just use the old serial number when prompted by the new cs5 install. So i think the best solution is to un-install cs5, then deactivate and un-install cs4 and then re-install cs5.
