CS3 & CS4 loaded on Leopard. Can CS3 be uninstalled safely?

Hi,
I have the complete CS3 design Extended & CS4 Design Extended loaded on Leopard. Can CS3 Extended be uninstalled safely? If so what's the correct way to do it without impacting my CS4 Extended and LightRoom 2.2 installations?

You might want to wait and make sure that everything works the way you think it should. For instance - printing to Epson printers from CS4 and Leopard is impossible using the Epson drivers if you are expecting the same results you got in CS3. It doesn't hurt to have more than one version on your system and can sometimes help.
If you really want to take it off, you can use the uninstaller on the original install disk.

  • I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
    Second: Create a new partition.
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Third: Install Snow Leopard.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

  • I can't load Snow Leopard on an empty partition

    In February I bought a new Mac Book Pro that came loaded with OS X Lion.  I want to run Final Cut Pro on it.  I bought FCP on ebay but can't load it because it is a PowerPC app and Lion won't load it. 
    I added a partition to my hard drive to load Snow Leopard, bought SL online and am trying to install SL.
    If I try to run the install app from within Lion I get this message:  "You can't use this version of the application install Mac OX X.app with this version of Mac OS X."  Then in small print this:  "You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1"
    If I try to boot from the SL Install DVD I get this message:  "You need to restart your computer.  Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."  I do this and it always comes back to this same message.
    I tried booting to the Recovery HD but can't get that to allow anything either.
    Is there a way to get this running?  Or have I wasted a lot of money?
    Thanks for any help!

    If you purchased the current model of MacBook Pro, then to the best of my knowledge it cannot boot from Snow Leopard. You would have to run Snow Leopard as a virtual OS under one of the virtualization solutions (Parallals Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox). There's been debate about whether the desktop version of Snow Leopard is licensed for such use, but the developers of the solutions believe that it does not and hence allow installation of Snow Leopard Server, which is licensed for virtualization, only.

  • 10.5 Leopard - can I load two OS's on it?

    I just set up my new 20" iMac 2.66Ghz machine, it came loaded with Leopard 10.5.
    I find that Leopard will not run my Adobe Photoshop 7.0, that's a known fact (and I know it now).
    A friend suggested that I load my old OS 10.3.9 on my machine and run Photoshop 7.0 from that.
    Can this be done, can a machine have two OS's loaded on itand have one run older software? I certainly have the room, still have 280GB left on my HD.

    Glad to see this topic here. I also would like to go back to Tiger from Leopard. In my case, the HD of my MacBook suddenly died. I purchased a new HD, and it came with Leopard installed. I am not happy that iPhoto is gone, but the larger problem is Backup. Nothing could be transferred from the old HD to the new one. I had done weekly backups (using Backup) to my iDisc, but apparently backups done in Tiger can not be restored in Leopard. I have both install discs. Will it work to install Tiger, doing an Erase & Install, then restore my data, then install Leopard using the option to save what is then on the machine? My Tiger install is v10.4.6, the Leopard install is version 10.5.2.

  • If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    Just faced that question, and the answer should be that you can run SL on the latest iMac.
    (Our scenario:  Bought 3 iMacs in August.  Was surprised -- and relieved! -- to see that they arrived with SL installed on them, and grey system restore disks.  One of the machines was DOA.  Futzed around with it for 6 weeks trying to get it to work, decided it was dead, drove it 4 hours to the nearest Apple Store.  They gave us a new iMac, which when we got it back, turned out to have Lion on it.  Popped in one of the three grey restore disks that had come in August, installed SL, it works without any problems.)

  • Can't load snow leopard to my mbp it is runing leopard it is saying can't load on this unit?

    Can't load snow leopard to mbp. It stops after language selection.

    Does you machine meet the system requirements?

    Is this a retail Snow Leopard disc from Apple, (the one with the white cat on it, not a grey one from someone else, if it is a grey one it will not work as most of those were designed to be machine specific.
    This what the retail disk looks like and you can get it here: http://store.apple.com/us/search/snow-leopard-10.6.8#!!
    If it does take your original install disc 1 power up the mac and push in the disc holding the OPTION key. This will bring up the start up manager and allow you which disc to start from, select the install disc. After if finishes booting, select your language, click continue. On the next page in the menu bar select utilities/disk utility. select)highlight) your volume (default name Macintosh HD, unless you named it something else) from the left column, under the First Aid tab click verify disk, if it comes back with errors (they will be in red font) then run Repair Disk, you may have to do this more than once (untill it comes up with this disk seems ok in green font)
    Quit out and eject the disc.
    Then power off and power back on holding the C key, select your language and follow the prompts

  • Bought a new imac and want to load the Leopard software on my old imac

    every time I load the disc and it goes into installation mode, it says Leopard can't be installed on this computer.
    I'm using the G-5 imac without the built in camera. I have 10.4.11 currently installed on this machine.
    Is there something I need to do before trying to install 10.5?
    Thanks in advanced

    It sounds like you are using the Drop-In DVD that came with Macs that were sold after Leopard came out but already had Tiger installed.
    Those DVD's only work on a very narrow range of late model (fall 2007 - spring 2008 ?) Intel Macs, and I don't think they will work at all on any G5.
    You will need to buy the retail Leopard DVD.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS4 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now my Photoshop CS4 is constantly crashing on me.  Adobe was no help.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?  I don't want to purchase CS5 just to prevent this from happening. I had no problems with CS4 w 10.5.8.  I also did a software update on CS4.  Help please!!

    "...Adobe was no help...."
    Meaning what exactly? CS4 should work with some problems. Google, "cs4 and snow leopard" and read the issues. You are also not alone if you look the the right side of this web page under, "More Like This" you'll others with the same issue.

    I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?

    I strongly advise against upgrading the OS without first making a backup. Were something to go wrong you would lose all your files without the backup. See:
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

    After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
