CS5 and CS6 on same Mac?

Is it possible to install both CS5 and CS6 on the same Mac or does CS6 overwrite CS5?

all adobe versions (including cs5 and cs6) of all adobe programs (except some acrobat apps) on both os x and win can coexist without problem.
so yes, you can install both.

Problem : Have Master Suite CS5 and CS6 on same PC... CS5 defaulting to CS6

I have a number of Premiere CS5 projects on my PC... I've installed a trial of Master Suite CS6 and all my CS5 projects are opening in CS6.. which I don't want.
Any suggestions on how I can have them open in CS5 again? I'd prefer to have the Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop files all open in CS5 if that is what I created them in. I've been told I can both CS5 and CS6 on the same machine without problems. Thanks for any input.

Can I have Masetr Suite CS5 and CS6 on Same PC ?

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this post... wasn't sure where to post it.
I currently have Master Suite CS5 on my PC (windows 7) Can I install Master Suite CS6 and try it out on the same PC? Will there be any problems if I decide to keep both and use them one the same PC? (running only one version at a time of course) Any potential conflicts?
What about Lightroom4 and 3rd paerty pluggins (Nik software etc)?
Thanks for any advice/input....

Yes, spearate versions, separate installs. You can have them both at the same time. just be aware that file associations will automatically point to the latest version. plug-ins will have to be updated. Even attempting to use some CS5 plug-ins in CS6 is ill-advised. LR4 is a separate program and has nothing to do with any of this, so its plug-ins will not have any influence.

Question how do I uninstall the applications
CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

Indesign CS5 and CS6 crashing

OSX 10.7.5
Working in Indesign CS5 and CS6 on the same computer. Opening multiple different documents, it will crash either while browsing the file, closing, or saving at random intervals.
Indesign CS5 crash:
http://pastebin.com/mWyFgWVv
Crashed Thread: 0 Main Thread Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

Using Universal Type Server 3 client for fonts. I tried doing a synchronize and reset, and reactivating all of the fonts, but this did not help.

Is Universal Type Server updated to the latest version? Is InDesign the only program you're facing issues with? Are you working with the document that is located in a network location? Try saving the file locally to your computer and see if you can replicate the crash. Clean the InDesign cache location by dragging the en_US folder from the following location: Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/version 7.0 or version 8.0/ for both CS5 and CS6. If you can't see the Library, then use the Go menu of the Finder holding down the Alt key on the keyboard to make the Library visible inside the Go menu and navigate to it that way.
Once you've cleaned the cache, re-launch InDesign and open your document to edit. Do not activate all fonts using the UTS, just activate the fonts that you used in your document to test for crash. If ID still crashes, then replace fonts by local fonts and test for crash.
Change the Display performance settings from Preferences to Fast for both Options panel and Adjust view settings panel and test for crash.

I have had a problem with opening some PSD template files. It doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't happen with every template. All of the templates were downloaded as zip files and opened and saved using Photoshop CS 5 on a Windows XP PC.
As far as I know Photoshop can not open Zip files. If you unzip the zip archive and it contained PSD files. How do you know they were all saved on a XP system with Photoshop CS5 with max compatibility. The message you getting seem to be contradicting that.

Programatically convert CS5 and CS6 illustrator files to lower versions

Is there a way to programatically convert CS5 and CS6 illustrator files to lower versions (CS4, CS3 etc) programatically. Are there any third party tools to do it or does Scripting let you do that.

The illustrator save options has a property for dealing with backward compatibility… As far as I know you can only do this using Illustrator…

He's probably looking for a script to do the job. The answer is yes. There is an AI scripting forum. Check there.

Open Photoshop CS5 and CS6

I can't open Photoshop CS5 and CS6 versions simultaneously. When I launch CS6, and then CS5, it takes me to CS6, and vice versa.
Is it possible to keep open the two versions? With Indesign I can do it.

As far as I know that is normal behavior: only one instance of Photoshop at a time. Forum members have reported running two versions of Photoshop simultaneously using virtual machines on their computer (which emulate separate computers).

Warning CS4 CS5 and CS6 Photoshop Action Users

Adobe introduce the Adjustment Panel in CS4 and included two option that you should NEVER CHANGE from their default setting. For if either or both are change from their default settings some actions that add adjustment layers will fail to work properly. They may or may not produce error pop-ups.
I have been trying to get this fixed for a couple of years now. The other day I received an e-mail from an Adobe programmer informing me that he had been assigned the task to fix the problems I've been having. He included information he was considering. It was clear he did not fully understand the problems and that keeping one of the options would make it impossible to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Photoshop. I wrote two e-mails explaining the problems and a third detailing what the problems I saw with what was proposing. He wrote back the all he wanted to do was to work on part of the problem not the whole problem. I wrote a fourth note but Adobe is back is stealth mode.
The two options in the Adjustment Panel fly-out menu are:
"Add Layer Mask by Default" checked by default. This is how Photoshop always worked prior to CS4 there was never an option not to add one so nothing was ever recorded whether or not a layer mask was to be added they always were. Changing this will make Photoshop not backward compatible.
"Clip to Layer" not checked by default. There has always been an option to clip adjustment layers to the previous layer. So when the option is used the action recorder records the option "With Clipping Mask" in the make adjustment layer step. When the Adjustment Layer is not clipped the option "with Clipping Mask" is not recorded. In the past these recordings played back correctly and still do if the Adjustment Panel fly-out option "Clip to Layer" is not checked. However if Adjustment Panel option is checked even though is was nit when the action was recorded for the option "With Clipping Mas" is not recorded Photoshop clips the layer because of the Adjustment Panel current Option setting. That could be fixed. The current option setting has no meaning in this context in fact the Adjustment panel may not have even been used to recode the Make Adjustment Layer step.
Here is a link to a simple action recorded in CS6. It opens a new default size document add an Levels Adjustment Layer deletes the layer mask and then clips the adjustment layer to the previous layer. The Action will play correctly in all versions of Photoshop prior to cs4. It will fail in CS4, CS5 and CS6 if either or both of the Adjustments Panel fly-out options are changed from their default setting. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/CS6AdjLayer.atn

Generally, you would have got the option to remove the old versions. However, you can uninstall the old versions but you should do it from Windows Add/Remove modules in the Control Panel so that it doesn't remove the common files from your machine.
If you are not constrained by disk space then the best thing is to leave the old programs on the system until you are familiar with the new features of the upgraded program.
I have renmoved the old programs from my Windows 7 because I wasn't using them. These days I use "Corel Paintshop Pro X5" and "Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6".
Photoshop is for something I need to test for my colleagues who are not familiar with certain features in Corel so I tell them how to do it in PS CS6.
Hope this helps.

Are Photoshop CS5 and CS6 compatible with Windows 8

Are Photoshop CS5 and CS6 compatible with Windows 8?

Yes, I'm running CS6 on 8.1, and I'm sure CS5 works as well.

ATI Radeon 7000 series and Photoshop CS5 and CS6

Interesting to note, Running windows 7 64bit I have bought a new graphics card, it is an ATI Radeon HD7900 bought to run Photoshop CS5 and 6 unfortunately the graphics card is not displayed in the photoshop prefrences, I checked the list of cards supported by Adobe and the Radeon 7000 series was listed.....I rang Adobe who states that the HD7000 is not supported, so until (if ever ) it is I cannot use the full functionality of Photoshop CS5 extended. I'm not sure if all the Radeon HD cards are supported or not, but maybe check before you invest in a new card.

The Radeon 7000 series cards should work fine with both CS5 and CS6, but as Steve noted there is a problem with the current drivers for the card. Until the 12.7 driver is released next month, I'd suggest using the following driver:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst126beta.aspx
Use the control panel on your system to completely uninstall your current driver before installing the 12.6 beta driver. Please let us know if the beta driver resolves the issues you're seeing.
Thanks,

Be sure to retain your serial number. If you don't have it check your Adobe account online for it in your products section - I recommend keeping a copy of it on hand wherever you call home. The installation files are currently available thru...

When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd photos, has anyone else had this problem...

Your info is at best vague. PSD files are compatible across versions on a very broad level, so whatever problem you have may be very specific. You have not provided any relevant technical info about your system or your files, so nobody can say anything specific, though.
