Can i uninstall old versions of adobe software?

I have the latest creative cloud programs installed in my computer, but I see that I also have all of my adobe programs from CS4 on. I want to uninstall and free up space in my computer. Can I uninstall all of these CS programs? would it uninstall the fonts that might be attached to them?

How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.

Where can I download old version of adobe connect mobile app?

We are using old version of Adobe connect Pro (version <7.5)
The recent version of Adobe connect mobile app does not work with our server.

If you are producing software how do you detect the Firefox version and show whether or not it is compatible ? You may be interested in http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/01/firefox-goes-2-digit-time-to-check-your-ua-sniffing-scripts/
If you are, or your clients are in a corporate environment there is a possibility that Firefox ESR will be in use.
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise#How_to_Participate_and_Post
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
My understanding is that ESR has been brought out primarily to deal with this sort of problem ensuring software may be certified in an enterprise, and does not change as often (so it will remain as Firefox 10 with point releases for a while).

Should I uninstall previous versions of adobe software when I install a new version?

I have been using Creative Cloud for a couple of years now and have always wondered why I would need an older version of the software. Considering these unused versions of software are just sitting on my hard drive and taking up space.... can anyone think of any good reason why I shouldn't uninstall these old software versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.?
Thanks, Tom

It can depend on which versions these older versions are. If they are Cloud versions then I wouldn't think twice about getting rid of the older ones. But if they are from a Creative Suite you might find that they have functionality that the newer versions had stripped out of them Flash, for instance, had a number of useful functional elements ripped out of it when they came out with the Cloud version.

Installed skype 7.6 but can't uninstall old version.

Hello, I recently upgraded to 7.6 as advised and it works fine. However, the old version is still installed and continues to ring and ring when I connect on the new version.I cannot find the old version on my programmes list to uninstall it. What has happened here?

downloaded quicktime standalone version, no luck there, says it can't uninstall the old version, error 1714, then it says fatal error -1603 during installation.
let's first try this technique to see if we can get past the 1714.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?

Can I uninstall previous versions of Adobe Apps in my creative cloud and still use the current 2014 versions of the same apps.

I want to stream line the amount of applications on my MAC. I currently have the CS6, CC, and CC2014 version of the Adobe applications. Can I uninstall the CS6 and CC versions and still run the CC2014 version without any issues?

Jim Fournier yes you can uninstall the previous versions. Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for additional details.

How can I install CS6 versions of Adobe Software Using the Adobe Desktop App?

I have a licence for CS6 Software NOT the new CC software. The only options i can see available in the CC app is for the new CC versions of the software. I tried clicking on the previous versions option as suggested by the troubleshooter, but none of the software I want to install is available in the list.

Bcom if you own CS6 you will want to use the traditional method of installing from the installation files and entering your serial number. If you are looking for a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS6 products.

HT1923 Can not uninstall old version because the file it is looking for is not found on windows 8.1

First off I want to start that I am an IT professional, so not a dumb PC user.
I am running Windows 8.1. I have been running Itunes for a long time and when the auto-updater prompted me for an update, I used that to update. Aparently something happened during one of the updates and Windows thinks I have v 11.1.1.1 installed as well as the newest version. I discovered this when I connected my Ipod recently (It was a few months since my last sync) and it wasn't be recognized by Itunes. Windows discovered it as a device but Itunes wouldn't see it. I went to the forums/support and tried the trouble shooting steps to no avail. I finally did the normal "uninstall/reinstall" process and that is when I saw the two entries in the programs list in windows. I uninstalled the current version. When I tried to reinstall it would error out with "can not find the path to iTunes64.msi". I had a few of them in the path but they were for newer versions, not the 11.1.1.1. Then I looked around and saw the directory tree for Itunes were still there.
I tried to edit the registry in the local machine->uninstall hive but itunes was not on the list there because I went through every entry. They all had the names from programs on the list but Itunes wasn't there. I uninstalled everything else as per the Itunes support instructions (Quicktime/Bonquor/Etc) and still it didn't work. I deleted the Itunes directory manually and then ran CC cleaner to a few times to clean out all the broken registry entries. After that was done I still couldn't install Itunes because it detected the program from the list in windows that said it was installed (v 11.1.1.1). I restored the directory from my recycle bin, launched the exe directly and it worked and I was able to detect/sync my Ipod. BUT the system doesn't think I have it installed so I have to manually kick it off from the exe itself.
I want to fix this. I would think it would be to edit something, registry I assume, that populates that installed program list and then the newest installer should run fine. I am stuck so I am looking for help. Any suggestions/ideas or anything?
Thank you in advance.

I can't seem to find a way to delete this...SO I unmarked it as a question.
I solved the problem, I aparently missed the program ID number when I searched. I found it and then went through the registry and removed the other references to that ID. Once I did that I was able to install the new Itunes without incident. In the process it also cleaned up the old entry on my programs/features list.
Even though I checked the registery 2x trying to clean up references to Itunes, the search and my manual look through the Uninstall entries I missed it. Sorry to waste anyone's time.

Can't uninstall old version of iTunes on Windows Vista

I have been trying to install updates for iTunes for a long time now (pretty much since update 7) and have not been able to do so because once the install occurs I'm that there is a resource network unavailable. I'm them prompted to change the file path to something that contains "iTunes.msi". I do that and it doesn't work. When I search my computer for the "iTunes.msi" file it can't find it but during the download process the option is given to me when I browse, but it still doesn't work.
I have tried a manual download of iTunes. I have tried to uninstall iTunes from my Control Panel and get the same response as above.
This issue is only affecting iTunes. Other Apple programs have been able to update.
Help.
Thanks.

Try using Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After it uninstalls iTunes you should be able to install the new version.

Cannot load Itunes or Quicktime and can't uninstall old version

I'm trying to load iTunes. The installation fails because, "The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime."
Have tried unintallation the current version of QuickTime and installing the latest version of QuickTime 7. Nothing works.
What should I try next?

This topic has been discussed repeatedly, if you go up to the top right corner of this page to "more options" and do a search of the forum you will likely find your answer, it does take a little effort on your part though.

The bad thing about trying to buy old versions of adobe software, is there is so much pirated adobe software out there.

'07 macbook pro with Lion. I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help. I'm a novice and stuck. Help.

Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update. Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player. Any ideas, suggestion? Please help.

Feel sooo dumb. Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link. At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install. This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila! Thanks for your help. I'm back in business.
