Can I safely uninstall older versions of creative cloud

since the "2014" update I now have the older version and new versions installed onto my computer. I am "space" limited and wanted to know if I can uninstall the older versions safely?

Terrie yes you are welcome to uninstall the previous version. You can find more details on how to uninstall at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

How can I remove an older version of Creative Suite while deploying Creative Suite 6

After you build an install package using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise is there a way it can be deployed to upgrade an older version of Creative Suite. In my organization we do not need both versions and I have about 100 machines to deploy this to and do not want to have to uninstall the old Creative Suite before deploying the new one as that would take too much time.
I am also limited on hard drive space on many of my workstations so I would not like to have both Creative Suites taking up space.

Branching this discussion out and moving it to the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment forum. Bwilk217 the users in this forum should be able to assist you with your inquiry.

Install errors with many 2014 apps and can we safely uninstall previous versions post-installation of the new releases?

I'm getting errors for several CC 2014 applications. The CC desktop says "Installation Failed", and yet some have actually been installed despite the failed message.
I also want to know if we can/should uninstall the old versions (CC and CC 64-bit) before (or after?) updating, because rather than upgrading the applications (which would have been nice), it just installs alongside them....so now I have 3 versions of Illustrator, 3 versions of PS, etc. I don't want all these versions, only the latest. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions (CC and CC 64) post-failed-installation of 2014, or should I just uninstall all and reinstall?
Thanks in advance.

Can I safely uninstall previous versions? Move licence to new PC?

I have PS going back to PS5 and all subsequent upgrade versions to CS5. Can I uninstall old versions through add and remove?
Also what is the procedure for moving to a new PC - regarding licencing? Do I have to load every version on the new PC till I get to CS5?
Thanks
John

Some people have had problems uninstalling old versions. They tend to take file associations with them, leaving "stuck" registry keys, so that you can no longer associate file types to open in Photoshop.
The way to avoid that is to uninstall everything in inverse version order, then reinstall the latest. Yes, it's a pain.
If you don't plan to use it on the old machine anymore, remember to deactivate. You're allowed two activated installations at the same time, provided you're the only user, but you may need the second activation later.
When you install an upgrade the installer will ask for the serial number of a qualifying version, if it doesn' find one on your HD. Put in the serial for the previous upgrade and go. You don't need them all, the installer is perfectly happy with the last one, even if that is in itself an upgrade.

Using older versions with creative cloud versions

I know you don't have to uninstall previous versions of the adobe products in order to run the creative cloud cs6 versions... but I was wondering what were the pros/cons of keeping both versions on your computer? Is it the best idea to uninstall any cs5 applications or is the best idea to keep them both?

It totally depends on you, how you want to keep it.
If you wish to keep CS 5 along with CS 6, you can do that without any issues.
The softwares like Acrobat/Reader, would ask you to uninstall the previous versions before you can install the latest version.

Uninstall older versions of Flash Player?

I just installed the latest update for Flash Player...can I now uninstall older versions?

Yes, you can.
It is best to use the uninstaller from Adobe. It is on this page:
http://http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Follow the instructions.
Because I am having problems with getting Flash Player that works on my pc, I have saved the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to my desktop. It is helpful not having to go back to the Adobe page to get it when I need it.
After uninstalling old versions of Flash Player, remember to check that the new version you keep is installed correcly and working properly, go to the Adobe "Find Version" page and follow the instructions there.

Hope this helps.

Can I safely uninstall Bonjour?

Hi,
I am using the latest iTunes version on a WinVista 32Bit Dell laptop. Bonjour sometimes stops working, Vista then notifies me about a "Computer problem". At Apple I read "Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks." I am using iTunes with 2 older iPods (mini and nano), i don't use network features or something like that.
Can I safely uninstall Bonjour? It seems that it is totally useless here.
Thanks!

iTunes works fine without Bonjour, but some functionality is lost:
+iTunes uses Bonjour to find shared music libraries, to find AirPort Express devices for streaming music to, and to find Apple TVs.+
See Bonjour FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
So only uninstall Bonjour if you don't need the services it provides.

Try the new Microsoft uninstall tool that was recently released.

Is it necessary to have both installations, ps cc and ps cc(2014) on my pc, or can I deinstall the older version?

Is it necessary to have both installations, ps cc and ps cc(2014) on my pc, or can I deinstall the older version?

It is up to you, since it is a full install. However some keep the other version for awhile in case there are any bugs. But if you are cramped for space, there is no reason why you can not reinstall later on if you do find a bug.
Keep in mind that uninstalling could change your file associations, so be prepared to fix them manually or reinstall 2014 to fix it.

I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.

I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.

My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4.

+It says it can't find QuickTime.msi+
Okay, if you're getting that message in addition to the the other messages, try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:

Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)

If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.
