[CS3] Uninstalling updates

Hi guys,
I installed some updates the other day and... I don't know why something has gone wrong and I can't work anymore cause ps keeps crashing anytime...
so, how can I uninstall the updates and try to reinstall them?
thanx a lot =)

You cannot uninstall updates. They replace the original files completely. If an automated update failed, download the manual update packages and try again. If that doesn't work, either, then I'm afraid you'll have to run a complete uninstall/ re-install. Don't use the "Repair" function in the installer, though, as it is not working properly as well in CS3.

CS3 raw update not working

CS3 installed with updates downloaded on windows xp machine still will not open my raw images from my canon 40d, but will open raw images from canon 20d. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the CS3 program. Another windows xp machine I installed cs3 and did the same updates and the images open in camera raw no problems. I have also checked to be sure the app is in the correct adobe file per their instructions. I also run an apple laptop and installed and updated Mac version CS3 and it runs fine. Any help would be appreciated

Tom ... Most problems are due to putting the new ACR plugin in the wrong place. Therefore , we'll need to know exactly how you updated.
A coupla things to try before coming back;
(1) Look for the ACR version installed via 'CS3=>Help=>plugins' (... if it reports v4.3 let us know ... if it reports 2 versions, let us know that too, and how you installed v4.3).
(2) Try installing via 'CS3=>help=>updates'
(3) See the installation instructions here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3822
(3) Read the following thread (altho much of the beginning posts are about CS2, but I don't believe it makes a difference -- ie, replace instances of "CS2" with "CS3").

I need CS3 to update on new computer running mavericks. How?

I need CS3 to update on new computer running mavericks. How? I keep getting a message that the updater quit, but the installation went well. No photoshop file opens correctly... there are just a lot of colored lines. But I cannot afford a new Photoshop suite at this time. Any ideas?

The new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.

CS3 and updates UNINSTALL

Hello,
Could someone either guide me through the process, or direct me to material that explains how to remove all traces of CS3 and any updates from OSX. My roblem with CS3 crashing since the second to last Adobe update is persiting and I would like to remove it all and reinstall CS3 in its original form, without those damned updates. Running the uninstall utility didn't work.
Thank you, and forgive a novice a stupid quesiton if this is one!
~ Peace
K :S

Kasia,
It will not necessarily get rid of what is causing the problem. It may
or may not be the updates that are causng the problem. It could be
something as simple as a corrupt preference file. There is a CS Cleanup
Script that you can run that should wipe out all traces of cs3.

InDesign CS English to CS3 French update

We're being obliged to migrate from InDesign CS (English version) to InDesign CS3 (French version, together with Windows XP OS in French). Please don't ask why!!
Several years ago when we migrated from Pagemaker 7 to InDesign CS (both English versions), we experienced considerable problems with our InDesign documents that predominantly use the Times New Roman PS MT font. The major problem occurred when the same document was opened on different computers. We would sometimes get pop-up font incompatability messages, indicating that only the Times New Roman font was available. This was eventually corrected by our IT department, but it took a while.
Is anyone able to offer some information/advice/experience/pitfalls on this proposed update, whether it's a straight English to English update or an English to French update (certainly more helpful...)?
Thank you.

Thanks for your input, Peter. From recollection, I believe that's how our IT dept. solved our earlier problem, by uninstalling the TT version and installing the Postscript version.
However, with a French OS, if all French fonts are installed we're going to get a "gras" version, rather than "bold" and "italique", rather than "italic, etc., etc., where we currently have paragraph styles set as "bold", or "italic", etc., in both English and French versions of documentation.
Theoretically, you're right about this happening once for each file on first opening, but we do have hundreds of files, so even this is going to be tedious, and with multiple computers, I am not confident that this is going to pass with few problems...

Cannot uninstall, update, or open Adobe Reader 9.3.1

I am running Windows XP 32-bit. I recently updated to Adobe Reader X and want to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3.1, but cannot. I have tried uninstalling using Add/Remove Programs, I have tried updating to 9.3.2 by downloading the appropriate update file from adobe.com, and I have tried opening Adobe Reader 9 to ask for updates from the Help menu. None of these worked, because as soon as I tried to "Remove" Adobe Reader 9 in the first instance, as soon as I tried to open the executable update file in the 2nd instance, and as soon as I clicked on Adobe Reader 9 to open it in the 3rd instance, I got the same message: "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I think this problem may be related to the fact that I recently did a System Restore on my computer because I had a virus that was not being caught by Norton Antivirus. After the System Restore, I fully updated all my programs and Mozilla plug-ins, which caused Adobe Reader X to download. Since I no longer need Adobe Reader 9, I'd like to get it off my computer.
The only thread I could find on this issue in this forum was from March 2010, and the user was referred to the Windows Installer Clean-up Utility. This utility is no longer available from Microsoft, so I couldn't resolve the issue with that method.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have! I am not especially computer savvy, so detailed instructions are much appreciated.

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is still available on 3rd-party download sites, e.g. http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

CS3 uninstall utility not running

I'm trying to uninstall & remove all CS3 items from my macbook pro (upgrading & switching to Creative Cloud) but when I attempt to open the uninstall utility provided with CS3 nothing happens after being prompted to enter my mac user password. I'm reluctant to just drag it all to the trash to uninstall due to the potential depth of the adobe software. Also, my CS3 was never formally registered on this mac, so there shouldn't be a deactivation step that I should need to go through first, right?
Notes: my mac user password is correct, I'm operating on macbook pro Mountain Lion v10.8.3
Is there some sort of wall that mountain lion has up against the uninstall utility?
Thanks, y'all.

You are correct in the location of the uninstaller...applications/utilities/adobe installers...that leads me to the item "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" I opened that and was prompted for my mac user password...upon entering that in, nothing happens. Why? I would like to avoid downloading & using the CS Cleaner Tool as I've already downloaded the Creative Cloud Photoshop software & don't want to erase that as well and have to download that all over again. Unless I'm wrong and the Cleaner Tool won't whipe that from my computer.
You would think that this uninstaller would work as it should.

How to uninstall update

Hi Marc,
You cannot isolately uninstall the application updates. The complete program needs to be uninstalled. And then you can go ahead and install the base version

Issue uninstalling/updating iTunes

Hello everyone. Like many of you, I recieved the notification to update my iTunes to 10.7 when the new iPhone 5 came out. As usual, I would click on Download Now and let it update itself. However, seeing as how I am here, that is not the case. Initially, the update would go along normally, with the small screen popping up to calcuate the space needed and disappearing soon after. Nothing else came up, even after an hour of waiting. Now, I have tried time and time again to update my iTunes, and after getting fed up with it, decided to uninstall the program along with the other Apple programs that I have. I even used Revo Uninstaller to try and remove any unwanted registries (though some still remain after multiple uses), but the installer still doesn't do anything after that small screen disappears. I apologize for having repeated a similar problem in which other people have posted, but I am at my wits end, and would like to see a light at the end of this cruel tunnel, and would appreciate any help given. Thank you for your time.

I would really appreciate any assistance with this issue, as my next alternative would be to just do a complete wipe of my computer. Also, I apologize for the large wall of text.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Not Updating Files

I have this problem since upgrading from Dreamweaver MX2004
to CS3. I edit files on my local machine. I then tell Dreamweaver
to syncronize files and put newer to remove (which it does). But
when I check the remote nothing has been updated. Lately I have
been getting the message about files being newer on the remote when
they are not. I tried the fix of unchecking synchronization info
and then re-checking, but it still does not update anything. I
noticed that I modified a file at 11.01am, and uploaded it. It
didn't update but the remote file is showing as being modified same
date but 6.15pm.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have been using
Dreamweaver for about 6 years with no problems.
Many thanks
Alan.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,
please.

CS3 Uninstall does not remove files

I have just purchased CS5.5 Master Collection and have successfully installed the software that I wanted to install at this time -- no problem. Before I installed Master Collection CS5.5, I uninstalled CS3 which was on the computer -- I did not deactivate it. I ran the uninstall program as instructed and it took perhaps 20 minutes to supposedly clean everything out...I was pleased. However, upon restarting the computer and going to the applications folder, it seems that all of the CS3 folders still remain, taking up room. So, I ran the clean up software to clean out those files -- they are are still there. Uninstaller and the clean up program both show that CS3 is removed, but the files remain in Applications Folder. Can I just drag these remaining CS3 folders to the trash and get rid of them that way?
Small Town Gal.
I'm working on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Dear Jeff,
CS3 has been replaced by CS5.5, so I assume that CS5.5 is all that I need. If I drag CS3 to the trash to remove it, will removing it that way remove any files that CS5.5 needs? Bridge CS3 did seem to have locked permissions, so I unlocked it, but it still doesn't appear anywhere for me to uninstall via installer. I also have an older version of Photoshop Elements 3 that I kept active for use of NIK filters, and that one doesn't appear anywhere either in Adobe Uninstaller -- can I drag PElements 3 to the trash without getting rid of any needed files?

CS3 Install Updates "Interpret Footage" Problem

Once I install the CS3 3.2.0 update all my previously imported graphics change their interpritation to HD Animorphic 1080 (1.333).
So when I open existing projects I have to hunt and peck to re interpret all the imported graphics back to square pixels. Any ideas?
Thanks so much - David Joslin

Thank for the reply. I can do that for some projects. But some have so many different Interpolations that it makes that time prohibitive. So I thought I would search for an more permanent answer. But if you have never heard of this problem with that update it sounds like the update may be in conflict with a local setting on my computer. I thought that maybe there was a preference I was missing that set the interpret setting application wide.
Was the 3.2.0 update generally received without issues such as this?
Thanks - David
>>> robodog2 <[email protected]> 8/10/2010 1:27 PM >>>
Hmmm, to be honest I haven't tried this but if you open your project and select everything in your project panel and then Interpret footage...does that work ? Maybe test on a small project to see if it works OK....?

CS3 software updates - how to check

Hi all.
Could someone please tell me how I go about checking for software updates with CS3?
For instance its easy for Mac OSX, you just click on 'software update' in system preferences, but I'm not sure how to do it in CS3?
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Kevin

Many thanks Nini.
I've just done the check and the updates are being downloaded.
Much appreciated.
