Can I uninstall cs3 now that I've installed cs5

I'd love to free up space on my HD and simplify my system by uninstalling cs3, but I'm not sure whether that's a good
idea now that I've installed cs5. Is it ok and is there any special precautions that should be taken?
Suggested procedure?

If you have the Mac version, yes, Windows, no.  Also with the Mac version there are folders in the Library->Preferences and Library->Application Support folders which are related to the old version.  They are extremely small but you can delete them if you want.  Just make sure you delete the files related to the old version and not the new one.  Most are marked by the version number not the release number, ie: Dreamweaver CS5 = 11, CS3 = 9.

    If you didnt cut and paste your music from the original location, it should still be there!

  • Upgraded to CS4, but can't uninstall CS3

    I installed CS4, and then successfully uninstalled CS3 (both versions as full Creative Suites).  I realized, though, that I hadn't saved the actions I had created in PS CS3, so I reinstalled PS CS3 (and found the PS CS3 Actions Palette.psp file, which had my custom actions, from a backup I had made). I exported the custom actions to .atn files, and then imported them into CS4.  So far, so good.  But...  Now I can't uninstall CS3!  It doesn't show up in my "Add or Remove Programs" dialog (either as the full Creative Suite, or as the individual component programs).
    I suppose I might be able to solve this by completely uninstalling CS4, which would leave only PS CS3 (and a few other of the CS3 programs, which were also reinstalled) -- and then maybe it would show up in Add or Remove Programs.  (And then I could -- I hope -- uninstall CS3, and reinstall CS4.)  But if someone has a simpler solution, I'd greatly appreciate hearing it! 
    To summarize the key actions, here's what I did:
    - Already had Creative Suite CS3 installed
    - Installed Creative Suite CS4
    - Uninstalled Creative Suite CS3
    - Reinstalled PS CS3 and a couple other CS3 programs
    - Exported some files I needed from CS3, and imported them into CS4
    - Now I can't uninstall CS3
    Thanks,
    Steve

    You have created a fairly unusual situation!
    I would first try runnning the CS3 Clean Script to see if that can remove it without damaging the CS4 installation. It may not.
    Otherwise I can only think of:
    Un-install CS4 normally
    Run CS4 clean script, a couple of times if necessary.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    It should also detect CS3 remnants , if not run CS3 clean script.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    Manually remove any Adobe folders remaining – they may be in more places than C:\Program files!
    Run a good registry cleaner like CCleaner.
    Start again with a fresh installation.

  • Can't uninstall CS3 after installing CS4

    After I got CS4 installed and working ok, I tried to uninstall CS3. A dialog window showed two components that could be uninstalled; CS3 and Shared components. Both were checked and grayed out so that I could not uncheck Shared components. How can I uninstall CS3?

    Thanks, I spoke to Adobe and they said that all I had to do was be patient. The uninstall took about 40 minutes, and it was quite a while before the progress bar budged.

  • Can't uninstall CS3

    I recently installed CS5. I want to
    uninstall CS3 so that when I edit a photo in Elements 8.0 using Photoshop it goes into CS5 and not CS3. I went into Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and clicked on CS3. When I did this, the screen froze up, and I had to restart the computer to get out of it. I tried this twice, and the same thing happened the second time. I experimented with removing a different old program, and it uninstalled just fine. How can I get rid of CS3 if I can't remove it using the Add or Remove Program function???

    All wrong! The mess is between your different versions of your Adobe programs. you need to uninstall them all and then reinstall in correct order. Just removing CS3 won't fix anything, anyways, as it will destroy any file associations also for CS5 and possibly PSE8. So you'd be doing more damage than good... Use the CS5 Clean Script (which also applies to CS3 and CS4) to remove programs if the installers don't work.

    Call your service provider and tell them you updated the phone's software. They will send an service message which has your connection settings and you will prompted to save.
    Or you can go to Tools > wizard > Start. It will configure your phone saying defining "operator settings" wait for it to finish
    and exit

    Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

    Just download, install, and activate using your serial number.  You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines.  If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
    Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
    If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.

  • How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    Your current camera roll is stored in iCloud via the backup, and the photos in Photo stream are also stored in iCloud for about 4 weeks.
    However, once you delete them on your iPad, they will disappear from your backup the next time it runs.
    The best way to sort your issue out is to:
    1) Connect a Windows or OS X computer to Photo Stream.  This will get your current photos onto your computer.
    and/or
    2) Connect your iPad to a Windows or OS X computer through the USB cable, and sync the photos across before deleting them from your iPad. This will get photos and videos.

  • Upgraded to CS3 to CS4. Can I uninstall CS3?

    Several years ago I upgraded to CS3 to CS4. CS3 was not removed. Can I uninstall CS3?

    For both CS3 and CS4 the better capture tools are:
    For HDV: HDVSplit
    For SD: Scenalyzer
    This may avoid the need to reinstall CS3 and possibly messing up some registry keys.

    Hi patm23422687,
    I hope by saying 'installed the software', you mean that Acrobat XI is now installed on your computer.
    Now, open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and choose "File> Save as Other> Microsoft Word"
    This is all you need to do
    Please try and let me know if you need further assistance.
    Regards,
