Do I need to keep three versions of LR and two of PS now that I'm in Creative Cloud?

I've used LR for years and like it a lot, so I joined Creative Cloud for LR and PS.   Somehow I now have three versions of LR and two of PS on my hard disk.  They appear to be complete programs, but with different file dates.  Do I need to keep all these versions?  They are confusingly labeled in Windows 7, for example.

Older versions are provided as some plug-ins may not work with the latest versions. However if this is not a concern and you don't mind CC desktop showing updates available to install, you could remove the older programs via the Windows control panel keeping only Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom CC 2015.

    It is your choice there is no requirements to have the software still installed on your computer.

  • Do I need to keep old versions of Bridge?

    I've bought different versions of Creative Suite apps over time and now have an unnumbered version of Bridge, Bridge CS3, Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS5.5 on my computer. I have InDesign CS3 and CS5, Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS5.1 on my iMac running OS 10.7.5. Do I need to keep earlier versions to interact with CS3 versions of Illustrator? And how about Adobe Device Central?

    My question is whether I can get rid of the lower-numbered versions of Bridge, Device Central and Extension Manager and, if so, what is the safe and sensible way to do it.
    The answer is more or less the same, If you don't have much space problems and you may find the need to use some of the old applications just leave them where they are. If you want to tidy up just place the rarely used app in one main folder (e.g. Adobe - old) there is no need to uninstall nor is it wise to partially uninstall.
    You maybe don't own a Creative Suite in total but all applications with CSxx are part of the suite its version number shows.
    You can't use the uninstaller for Bridge alone per CS5, this has Bridge bundled with either PS or AI or ID. So you have to uninstall them to. removing applications to the trash manually is usually not the best thing to try. If you needed to install it instead of copy to your App folder you also have to official uninstall it for best practice.
    You can use only one version at the time of Bridge while you can have multiple versions of other applications of the CS series running and active at the same time.
    Ideally Bridge is the 'bridge' between those apps but due to many differences between the separate CS versions Bridge (and other apps) are not very good in working together.
    Namely the start up scripts won't load or function in Bridge CS5 when the other apps don't have this same CS number. (as said, CS5 and CS5.5 might be possible) so communication with tools menu or MiniBridge will not be smooth-less or not possible at all.
    You can however always use the newest Bridge as main application and choose open with and select the wanted application that shows in the list.
    Don't know if this is the same for the place command because I only have CS6 on my machine and I can't check myself.
    And the biggest space consumer is in your user library / caches/ Adobe / Bridge CSxx. inhere is a folder called Cache and this can grow to huge proportions if you use it a lot.
    If you rarely use the older versions just keep the latest version as it is and dump the other ones.
    The same as for Bridge is for the extension manager. You may need the latest version. if the others are cluttering your sight put them in the Adobe -old folder.

  • Do I need to keep older Final Cut docs and disks?

    I'm trying to find out if I need to keep all of the documentation and disks to my licensed and registered Final Cut software. I've currently got Final Cut X installed. But, I have all manuals and install disks going back to Final Cut 1.0. I'm moving and would really like to not have take all the cumbersome Final Cut boxes with me. If I can get rid of them, how do I dispose of or recycle the paper and disks? Any chance I'll need any of it if I want to upgrade in the future?

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error. I tried deleting every thing that has itunes in the file/folder/etc and it didn't help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Migrate Active Directory 2008 to 2012 but need to keep the same ip address and server name

    Hi,
    Current setup is 2 DCs in one site running 2008 R2 AD.
    We are planning to migrate from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 but need to keep the same ip address and server name. I have came up two plans to do this and hope someone can tell me which one would be the best approach. What is the pros
    and cons in Plan A and B or may be plan C if there is a better one?
    First, I was planning to do plan A but just had a second thought of Plan B.  My concern in Plan A is about changing the server name when the new 2012 R2 already running as DC.  Plan B would be changing all the old server
    name and ip before they become member sever and DC. 
    Any information and suggestion would be very appreciated.
    Plan A
    Run adprep /forestprep on 2008 R2 DC
    Build a new 2012 R2 server and promote it as 3rd DCs in current Domain
    Transfer FSMO from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2
    Run Repadmin /syncall to force replication
    Rename the demoted 2008 R2 DC to something else
    Change the demoted 2008 R2 ip address to something else
    Restart the demoted 2008 R2 server to take effect
    Now, run Netdom computername command to change the new 2012 R2 server name to the old 2008 R2 DC server name
    Change the new 2012 R2 DC's ip to old 2008 R2 DC's ip
    Run ipconfig /flushdns
    Run ipconfig /registerdns
    DCDIAG to see any error
    Plan B
    Build 2 new 2012 R2 standalone servers
    In 2008 R2 ServerA transfer FSMO to 2008 R2 ServerB
    Demote 2008 R2 ServerA to become member server
    Rename 2008 R2 ServerA to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
    Now, rename one of the new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA name
    Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerA's ip address
    Add the new 2012 R2 standalone server (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) to become member server
    Run adprep /forestprep on the 2008 R2 ServerB
    Promote the new 2012 R2 (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip) as DC
    Transfer 2008 R2 ServerB FSMO to the new 2012 R2 DC (now with the old 2008 R2 ServerA name and ip)
    Demote 2008 R2 ServerB as member server
    Rename 2008 R2 ServerB to something else and change the ip address to something else and shut it down
    Now, rename the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to the old demoted 2008 R2 ServerB name
    Change the new 2012 R2 standalone server ip to the old demoted 2008 R2 SeverB 's ip address
    Add the 2nd new 2012 R2 standalone server to become member server
    Promote it as DC
    Run DCDIAG to check error
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Renaming a Domain Controller is a risky operation which may lead to issues, therefore, I would suggest you go with the Plan B, rename the server before it becomes DC.
    Here is a blog below which could be helpful to you:

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

  • Hi guys, i just re-formatted my computer and once i rebooted my iMac my lightroom, inddesign, and PS are gone. I am currently a Creative Cloud member... how do i re-download my needed software ?

    hi guys, i just re-formatted my computer and once i rebooted my iMac my lightroom, inddesign, and PS are gone. I am currently a Creative Cloud member... how do i re-download my needed software ?

    Hi Josh,
    If you have your Adobe ID and password ready for your Creative Cloud membership, visit the following page.
    Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
    I generally suggest people FIRST install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. This is mainly because you then have the option to check and set the installer language prior to installing the applications you want to use again on your system.
    Once you have installed the Creative Cloud Desktop app:
    Click on the gear icon in the top right.
    Choose preferences.
    Click Apps, and set the Installer language. If you happen to live in Australia, you might find that the default installer language is set to English (North American), to English (International English) this would ensure that an application such as InDesign installs with default metric-units of measurements, UK dictionary etc. (instead of inches, US english).
    Once that is set, you can click 'Install' next to any applications you'd like to install.
    Good luck.

  • Any need to keep old versions of Logic

    Is there any need to keep my older versions of Logic... I know have Logic 6 thru Logic 9.... Those of you with all the versions do you keep the older versions or do you keep them laying around?
    thanks
    RD

    I keep them because every once in a while a mix comes my way on an old Logic format. I did decide to get rid of them at one point and then found I had to reinstall so I could pull up some of my old tunes.
    FTR: any work done before L7 has to be loaded into L7 and saved before it can be loaded into L8 and L9
    So yes, I keep L7 and 8 just in case.

    My CC updated now lists, and keeps updating, CS CC and, now, CC2014? Do I need to keep all of these locally or should I just keep the new 2014 version and remove the others - they take up so much space.

  • When I updated the adobe flash player and went to facebook I'm not able to play any of the apps, one says I need to update my version of adobe and it has been updated, now I'm not able to open any of the games on facebook!

    After I downloaded Firefox, I attempted to update the top four plugins, I already have adobe flash player, but I went on ahead and downloaded it again with the other three, java and two others. I then restarted my computer, and when I logged back on to face book Farmville would not load a message said if it don't load in ten seconds I would need to update the adobe flasher which is in my add and delete box. The same with Cafe world, it will not load as well! My google search is missing as well! I have no problems logging on to Face book, but I can't go to any of the applications that I normally play with now! I did updated the top four plugins as was suggested and now I'm having problems!

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
