Having problems uninstalling CS3 on Mac OS 10.6.8

Hi Jeff,
I am also trying to get rid of all my CS3 production suite on Mac ( OS10.6.8 )
After using the CS 3 uninstaller and restart everything is still showing up, though not working...
Do I have to use the cs5cleaner tool now?
And will this allow me to reinstall just CS3 photoshop ( I did not deactivate anything before uninstalling for that reason )

Great. Thank you for your response!
I just downloaded the current Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and selected CS 3 in the pulldown menu, but it only shows Adobe Extend Script Toolkit 2 and it offers to clean all Cs3/Cs 4 ( no option to just select CS3 )
I also have CS 4 installed and and want to get rid of everything except AE: Should I
1. uninstall the entire CS4 via uninstaller first (and reinstall AE after running the Cleaner ) or can I
2. uninstall everything CS4 except AE and then run the Cleaner.
3. Should I run the cleaner ( clean all CS3/CS4 ) first and then take care of uninstalling CS4
Sorry for the specifics, but I already have tried this once using the uninstallers and handselecting all programs (for both CS3 and CS4 ) I wanted to get rid of and then ran the cleaner, but that still left a lot of stuff AND the not uninstalled CS3 PSD did not work any more and could also not be reactivated with my serial... the only fix was resurrecting the entire system/app drive via Timemachine to its original.
I really appreciate your input!

Upgraded to CS5, having problems uninstalling CS3

Now that I've used CS5 Design Premium for a couple of months, I'm ready to uninstall CS3 and get back some badly-needed HD real estate.
I ran the Adobe Uninstaller and 2 apps are still there plus a sprinkling of folders. Someone on the NAPP forum suggested I run the CS5 Clean Script tool (on the CS3 files), which I did, but it only found one file and deleted it. So I still have Bridge CS3 and InDesign CS3 apps hanging around.
Can I just drag all this stuff to the trash?
And after the uninstaller was finished I'm getting a message when I start PS CS5 that something important is missing and I need to re-install it.
Do I have to deactivate and uninstall first? Or can I just re-install over top of the existing from my Design Premium disc? Can I just re-install PS or do I have to do the whole bundle?
Dear Adobe, why isn't this easier? I would expect this kind of behavior from Windows...
By the way, I'm on an Intel MBP running OS 10.5.8
Thanks

Why are you using inline CSS styles for this?
Use external CSS for site wide styles. A separate physical file to which all your HTML pages are linked.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/DW-Link-Stylesheet.shtml
Use embedd CSS code for page specific styles. Between the <head> & </head> tags in your HTML pages.
Use inline CSS rarely if ever.

Having problems uninstalling and running Photoshop CS3

I downloaded the trial for Adobe Photoshop CS3 and it has now expired. I tried to uninstall it but it does nothing. It will not come off my computer. If I try to open it, it tells me
The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support. I tried redownloading and reinstalling it but it still does the same thing and customer support after waiting on hold for 10 minutes for someone to answer, just sent me here.
How do I get rid of this program???
Also now that this is there, I can't run my CS2. It tells me my settings have changed and I need to reactivate but it won't let me reactivate apparently I guess it's been activated too many times (the first computer I had it on crashed and so I had to reinstall it on this computer I am using now) So now because of whatever is wrong with this CS3 I can never again use my CS2. I don't want to repurchase it, what do I do??

In reference to Lynley Stanley, I too am having the exact problem. I downloaded as for my class of Animation and Visual Effects at the Academy of Art University while waiting for my software to come in the mail from Academic Superstore. I am so frustrated about this that such an issue has caused so much madness. In the process of trying to remove Adobe Photoshop CS3 from my Windows Vista I was searching for info on how to uninstall as I was in a hurry to uninstall the program because my 4th week into class started using the program as students are expected to follow along having their own for assignments. Well, now I'm behind and I don't want to fail because of something that is causing the problem as I'd like to call intentional. In the process of trying to figure a way to uninstall fast as not to fall behind and fail in class I downloaded Perfect Uninstaller but I don't know how it will work. Now in reference of trying to quickly uninstall just to keep up with class, that will not be possible, so now I had to take time to look online knowing I'm falling more and more behind because of this difficult matter I finally found this and hopefully I'll be going somewhere as to have the problem corrected. Alright, now I'm going to try with what has been listed. Thank you for the Info. :)

Is Anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" Foggy display?

Is anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" having a foggy display in lower right hand corner after the computer has been on for 30 or 45 min? This is now the 2nd computer that has this same problem. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the IMAC 24"? Does anyone know what might be the cause? I have only had the computer for a month. Thanks very much.

Thank you for the nice welcome.
Sorry about posting in the wrong area I found the correct discussion board. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7998535#7998535
Its seems that I am not alone in my problem but I do have good news to report that apple support has acknowledged the issue is happening and a fix is in the works. The support and assistance I received today helped greatly to restore my faith in apple product satisfaction.
Lets hope you don't have this experience in the future, hopefully a solution can be reached that is in everyone best interest. I may have to drive a greater distance to another apple store but for myself and others like me feel its worth the extra effort to get better customer service in the long run.

Having problem uninstalling TMG

Hello community!
I'm having issue uninstalling TMG from my server. We moved to gateway security and TMG was no longer needed.
Today I attempted to uninstall it but it failed. Application disappeared for "Programs and Features" list and it's blocking incoming traffic. Outbound traffic flows just fine, I can get outside but incoming is blocked. I have office shares on this
server and it's very important for me to restore connectivity.
I tried some third party uninstallers like "Perfect Uninstaller" but no luck. TMG services are all there stopped and cant be started.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Did you remove the existing log files and cache files when removing TMG? In addition, did you reboot the server after uninstallation? If not, I recommend you to reboot the server to
see if the issue persists.
In addition, according to your description, it seems that TMG is no longer in Program and Features and the TMG related services are stopped, right? If so, maybe the incoming traffic
is blocked by other firewall. You can also check the Windows firewall to see if it blocks anything or not.
Best regards,
Susie

Still having problems playing MP3s on Mac OS 10.5

Hi everyone,
I was never able to solve this issue, and moved on to other things, but I'm stumbling over it again. I believe that I have everything set up properly; I put the jmf and mp3 plugin jars in my /Library/Java/Extensions folder, but I am getting this message when I try running java com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Registered succesfully
So does that mean it's properly registered, or is that InvocationTargetException something tats causing a problem. The JMF works fine for everything but mp3s; when I try playing an MP3 file, I get this error:
Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, 44100.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 16000.0 frame rate, FrameSize=32768 bits
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@39b3a2
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@39b3a2
All of the files I've tested worked fine with the JMStudio application that came with the JMF, but when I compiled JMStudio on my system, I got the same results that I describe above.
I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the JMF and the mp3 plugin a couple times now, and then have run the jmfinit binary, and then the jmfregistry binary, and then added and committed the com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder to the Plugins->Codec menu. Again, with the results that I have described above.
Can anyone help?

I have had some success adding the [JMF codec|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/mp3/download.html] to the run-time classpath of the application (or applet).
I did not 'install' any version of the JMF to this Ubuntu system, but separately downloaded the (MP3 codec) Jar and just added it to the classpath (at run-time).
Note there are a number of MP3s that the JMF codec fails to get an input stream from. I recommend anybody attempting this, try it first with an MP3 that has been seen to work using the JMF codec. As such you might..
a) Visit this applet(1), which tries to load/play an MP3. And if that works OK on your Mac., then go to..
b) Visit the [sound section of my media page|http://pscode.org/media/#sound] and download the 'Dead End' MP3 for your own local testing.
(1) The applet Jars are digitally signed. You can safely refuse the digitally signed code and the applet should still work. The applet is still experimental - if you have any problems with it, I would appreciate hearing them. Part a) is effectively an 'acid test' on whether my attempts to play MP3s in applets for Mac users (and other visitors) is successful. If it fails, it might indicate a difference in the way Macs implement the SPI.

Problem uninstalling MaxMSPRuntime on mac - urgent help needed

Hello there,
I've been using Cycle 74's MaxMSP Runtime version 5.1 for a while but recently had to witch to an earlier version to make some hardware function along side the Max runtime environment. The problem is that where i would usually just drag and drop Max 5.1 into the trash to uninstall it, for some reason, after i have done this and try to install the older version of Max, OSX wont let me install Max 4.0.8 as it says an updated version is currently installed. I have scoured my hard drive for the remanence of Max 5.1. and deleted everything i've found. Is there a way of overriding macosx and getting it to replace Max5.1 with an older version?
Urgent help needed as i am playing a show this weekend and currently am not able to get my equipment to function.
A shiny nickel for the one who saves my ***.
Thanks
Henry

Hi- Try this...
If you can, reinstall or use time machine to recover your recently deleted MaxMSP Runtime 5.1.
Then, download AppZapper. It is a utility that helps you cleanly delete programs off your mac. It is free for the first 5 uses.
http://appzapper.com/
Then, install AppZapper, and then go ahead and drag the MaxMSP Runtime 5.1 into it, and it should hopefully get rid of the pesky program

Having trouble uninstalling CS3 trial

I downloaded a trial of CS3 a few years ago and i'm trying to uninstall it. When I try to I get an error message that says "Setup is not properly installed. Please re-install". How can I fix this?

How can I fix this?
Probably not at all, especially if you have newer versions of Adobe tools on the system. These are version conflicts in the installer database. Short of uninstalling everything, cleaning out CS3 and then reinstalling whatever is your current version I see no way to resolve this. Even if it would work right off the bat, it would mess with file associations and a few otehr things for newer versions, so it's not the best way to deal with teh problem in teh first place...

Having problems erasing and reinstalling Mac os x on 2007 MBP 15in

Hello
I am having some problems here and was hoping for some help.
Just recently here, I decided to erase and reinstall Mac Os X on my sister's 2007 MBP. She just recently got a new 15in MBP and wanted most of her content on the 2007 to be erased. Well... I did some reading around and found that the easiest way to do so was with the os X DVD that came with the thing. Problem is....I can't seem to find it for the 2007 MBP. So I decided to try the 2010 version. Went into the disk, ran disk utility, wiping the hard drive, did all the right steps according to Apple, and then rebooted to try get a clean version of OS X on. Well, problem is, it would come to the language select screen, but after that selection, it would come up with this error:
"Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer
If you want to restore your system from a Time Machine backup, click "Restore from Backup"
I've tried reformatting the HD several times and even tried restoring, but it wouldn't display my system restores...
So my quesiton is, is it becuase I have the wrong DVD that its not working or is there something else I"m missing?
Any help would be vastly appreacited (especially since its not my computer!)
Thanks!

The install disks that come with a model of a Mac have certain hardware drivers for the computer and video card, you can't use another Mac's install disk.
However you can use the $29 Snow Leopard install disk, but it doesn't come with iLife, that's extra.

Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!

I'm having problems installing fonts in MAC

I have downloaded a free font.. is a .ttf file.. i double click the file the
i click on INSTALL FONT (instalar tipo de letra) and then this windows appear
but the new font is not there... i have search the font in the folder [User]/library/font
and the new font is there when i double click appears the first windows again asking to install the font.
I have installed many fonts before and i had no problem.. i dont understand why now i cant install any font..
i think could be a problem with some permissions or something like that.
Does anybody knows how i can fix this?

3lii
Yes, I ran into the same problem. Mine is a fairly old (3 or 4 years) Mac Book, and I'm guessing that it came this way from the factory. I don't think I have ever reformatted this hard drive.
And when I opened up Disk Utility, it was not immediately clear how to enable the journaling, as Im used to selecting the pick list, and that was not budging.
But under File there is a Enable Journaling option, and if you select the partition in Disk Utility, that option should become black and selectable.
If you do that, then Journaling will start.
Hope that helps.

Having trouble uninstalling CS3

I have the Adobe CS3 suite. I have recently installed CS4. I would like to get PS, CS3 uninstalled. I do not want to uninstall the rest of the CS3 suite.
I only want to uninstall PS. Please advise.

If you have CS3 Design Premium, there is an Adobe utility titled, "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium.
It will let you select (or deselect) individual apps.
Good luck!
