Do I have to uninstall a previous version (CS4) before installing

Do I have to uninstall a previous version of the Creative Suite before downloading and installing the Creative Cloud?

No.  You can retain the CS installation if you prefer to (you might).

  • I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS.

    I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS. No software update is worth the time it will take to do that!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I am woefully disappointed in Adobe. I pay on time every single month SINCE CREATIVE CLOUD BECAME AVAILABLE and now they place this on me? NOT HAPPY.

    Oh, and I'm on a MAC, not a PC so how could my database be corrupted?
    Shruthi: The caps.db file is located in Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps folder
    Shruthi: Can you try uninstalling from Adobe installers.
    Susan Meredith: You folks don't understand. Most of us are very excited at the new "bells and whistles" that Adobe has introduced and in the past we've been able to QUICKLY update to the new version. We haven't had to uninstall anything to get the new. We are all working and have deadlines. This is A HARDSHIP ON ADOBE'S USERS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT ON THAT END. Or give up some monthly fees.
    Susan Meredith: There are many ways to uninstall. I can do it through "CleanMyMac". But now I don't trust that Adobe's programs will actually download and then I'm in trouble...and out of business.

  • Uninstall and/or Deactivate CS4 before Installing CS5?

    (Win 7 64, Production Premium CS4)
    I know this question has been asked a lot; I've read a dozen threads on the subject but I can't find a definitive answer ... so I thought I'd ask:
    Should I uninstall Prod Prem CS4 first, before I install Prod Prem CS5?
    Is there a risk that the CS5 upgrade installer won't run, because it doesn't "see" a prior, qualifying version?
    (maybe the CS5 installer needs to find certain CS4 files to validate the upgrade?)
    Thank you All.
    ps - I'd like to run both versions at once but I'm trying to conserve space on my OS/Apps disk, which is an SSD.
    thanks again,
    Richard

    Okay never mind, thanks anyway - I spoke with Adobe Chat Support and got the answer - Adobe recommends keeping the existing version and upgrading next to it, but if you want to conserve space you can uninstall (and deactivate) CS4 first.
    The CS5 upgrade installer does not need to "see" any files from a prior version, you simply use your CS4 (or whatever version you're upgrading from) serial number to activate CS5.5.

  • Anyone have advice on installing the recent update to Itunes on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC?  I can download it, but can't run it.  I have already uninstalled the prior version.  Thanks.

    Anyone have advice on how to install the recent Itunes update on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC?  I've downloaded the update, uninstalled the prior version, but no luck.  Thanks.

    I'm guessing - if you've uninstalled the previous version, then surely there's nothing left to "update", is there?
    Can you undo the "uninstallation" procedure? If not, you will have to download iTunes again and install it as a new installation.

  • Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

    Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
    I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELP

    Same problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

  • Uninstall all previous versions

    I am looking to uninstall all previous versions of Sun Java from my network and standardise on 1_4_2_03.
    previous versions include various ones between 1_2 and 1_4_2_02.
    It would seem you need to uninstall each version individually, what I need is a way to uninstall all versions in one go, this would need to be able to run silently.
    Has anyone come up with a way as I have been unable to find a single catch all way on the Sun web site.

    Thought it would be the case. Looks like I might need to go for a folder/regkey delete and reinstall. Its anoying that Java installs to a different folder with each version rather than over writing. I am sure Sun has its reasons.

  • 2014 update did not uninstall the previous versions

    When I got the 2014 updates, none of the installs deleted the previous version.   In addition people are complaining that if you uninstall the previous version by hand, then the new version fails to work correctly.  What Adobe has done here is very confusing, and I would like a better explanation than I'm seeing.

    This messages says (at least some) CC 2014 programs use NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
    -so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs until you are sure you have plugins that work in CC2014

    Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit laptop.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

  • After installing PS and LR newer CC versions, should I uninstall the previous versions? Computer is running extremely slow in those programs.

    After installing PS and LR newer CC versions, should uninstall the previous versions? Computer is running ver slow in those programs.

    you can uninstall them, but do not need to uninstall them.  you should probably wait a few months to make sure all your peripherals and plugins work with the cc 2014 versions before uninstalling cc.

  • When I try to download, I get a message that says that my computer must be rebooted to finish uninstalling a previous version. After rebooting, I get the same message. What do I do?

    When I try to download, I get a message that says that my computer must be rebooted to finish uninstalling a previous version of Firefox. After rebooting and going through the process again, the Install Wizard gives me the same message. I get the same message every time. What do I do?

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

    Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

    definitely.
    i mostly use flash and haven't found any need for cc.  but there are definitely reasons to keep flash pro cs6.
    and you may find if you continue using adobe products that saving source files for other users becomes an issue unless you save older versions.  typically, (with flash pro at least) you can save to the current version and one version older.  after a few years, the current version cannot save for older versions and you may work with someone that only has an older version.

    I have serial numbers for previous versions so why dont qualify for members price when I try to buy creative cloud?

    We can't know. You have not told us anything about your existing products nor under which specific licensing/ pricing they were purchased. Not every product is eligible for discounts and that is just that.

  • Do I have to uninstall my old version of PS in order to install Creative Cloud?

    Do I have to uninstall my old version of PS in order to install Creative Cloud?

    No.
    Different versions of Adobe software install into their own separate folders on your hard drive so they can happily co-exist on the same computer.
    You can still launch and use the older versions at any time although it's often recommended to first close any apps you're not using.

  • I have the latest update for Logic Pro, but also have in Applications a previous version of LP 9,02. Can I trash it?

    I have the latest update for Logic Pro 9.1.8, but also have in Applications a previous version of LP 9.0.2. Can I trash it? It has the circle with diagonal over the icon.

    Yes, you can trash it - presumably the symbol that you can see is showing you that it won't run on your machine, anyway. I usually keep the previous version when I do an update in case of any problem (at least you can test if its the latest version that's responsible) but that doesn't apply here.
