Help needed uninstalling PS CS2 & CS3

Hi, I have PS v7, CS2 & Creative Suite 3 design Premium on my late 2004 Mac iBook.
After I installed Creative suite I used it for a short while then got the message Licencin for this product has stopped working, usinstall & reinstall.
I did this 3 times & still got the same error message. I'm not sure if it's always after updating or even before.
I needed to use PS while CS3 was stuck like that & so I opened CS2 & got the message Serious error has been detected. To continue using PS pls. uninstall & reinstall.
I'm looking at this page
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331404
& have trashed all the files mentioned that I have except
3. Delete the Adobe folder from the Users/[User]/Library/Application Suppor
This folder has 19 items in including a Lightroom folder & an XMP folder that I'm thinking I might miss if I delete. Shall I delete all but these?
I've read I have to install CS2 1st before CS3 so I started uninstalling CS2 1st but I think if I uninstal CS3 with it's nice installer I can see what's left in this folder.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

After running the uninstaller for CS3 there are still 19 items in that Adobe folder in Applications support folder including one called Adobe Photoshop CS3 & another called Bridge CS3. The uninstaller didn't remove Acrobat 9 which had a separate install disc. There is also an Acrobat folder in that Adobe folder & an Air folder & a CS3 stock photos folder.
There is also an adobe photoshop CS3 folder still in my applications folder with plugins & samples inside.
I'm thinking to trash everything with CS3 in the name & leave the rest & hope it doesn't matter if some belong to CS2.
Any advice?

Need to Uninstall CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Uninstall Tool Missing

We've been with Adobe for a long time.
We're upgrading computers and Mac OS on all to Mavericks.
Would like to clean up in the process.
Would like to thoroughly UNINSTALL all CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 products on all computers.
We are currently using CS5. And, after installing Mavericks, will install CS6 Design Standard.
Most threads point to using the UNINSTALL TOOL ... but no one seems to have a link to where to get it?
It is not in the folders that everyone says it should be. I do not have it.
I hesitate to just DRAG the folders to the trash. I'd prefer a tool that will UNINSTALL proper plists, etc. ... not just trash the AP folder.
Anyone?

I have already been there.
1. In my Adobe Installers folder, there are only alias' folders for "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium" and for "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2.1". When I "Show Original" and go there and try to OPEN the folder to run the uninstaller ... nothing opens. When I search for "Adobe Uninstaller", nothing is found.
2. I have downloaded and run the Cleaner Tool for CS3 and 4 ... but it was very very fast (didn't see a progress bar while it was working as expected) and CS3 and 4 are still in my applications folder. There was a message on one of them something about "support file missing".
So, this doesn't seem to have worked ... again.
In our office, we used to "trickle down" computers. The person with the oldest computer gets the new on and his goes to someone else. The problem with this has been that the person giving away the computer has been required to "clean it up" before passing it on and people haven't known HOW to do this. Thus, the missing uninstallers, etc.
So ... I want to delete (thoroughly) CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4, including Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Drive, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Stock Photos, Version Cue, SupportAdvisor ap.
Can I simply "drag to trash"? I suspect not. But unistallers don't seem to be present and cleaner tool doesn't seem to work.
Are the instructions for "manual" removal of all files?
Thank you.

Help with uninstalling InDesign CS2

A month ago, I installed CS4 over CS2.
Then, InDesign CS4 did not work because of the conflict with AMD chip in my computer. So, uisng the original CS2 disk, all programs were uninstalled EXCEPT FOR INDESIGN CS2. The reason is that I wanted to use InDesign CS2 until the problem with CS4 is fixed.
Today, after installing InDesign CS4 update (it was a sort of plug), InDesign became working just fine. So I want to remove InDesign CS2. The problem was that I was not able to remove InDesign CS2 by Add or Remove Programs or with the original CS2 disk.
Please advise me how to uninstall InDesign CS2. In

Hi Bert,
Find and change in InDesign CS3 changed quite a bit from CS2, and scripting changed as well. Tell your friend to look at the examples of find and change in the Text chapter of the Adobe InDesign CS3 Scripting Guide: JavaScript--you can find the PDF and the associated scripts at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/scripting/index.html
...and click the Scripting Resources tab.
In brief: the search method was removed, and find and change methods corresponding to the find/change type were added (findText, changeText, findGrep/changeGrep, findGlyph/changeGlyph). The find/change preferences objects were also removed, and preferences objects corresponding to the new find/change types were added (findTextPreferences, changeTextPreferences, findGrepPreferences, changeGrepPreferences, findGlyphPreferences, changeGlyphPreferences).
Thanks,
Ole

Help needed uninstalling BitDefender

I made the mistake of downloading the free trial of BitDefender for Mac. I decided to uninstall the program only to find out the uninstall program does not work. I've tried all the links in BD's forums (I discovered many have the same problem). I tried different variations of the uninstall including installing the uninstall twice before rebooting. Each time the install for the uninstaller says "Successfully Installed" - but nothing happens. No matter how many times I've tried - with and without reboots, nothing works.
I tried the chat with BD tech support. The tech didn't know what to do and referred it to a "senior tech team" that was supposed to e-mail me quickly with the solution. I never heard from them. I found the e-mail address "[email protected]" on one of these support boards and had no response to my ee-mail.
I have literally spent more than four hours trying to get rid of this program without success. BD is a memory hog and slows the CPU to a crawl.
Please, somebody help me get out of this nightmare!
Thanks!

There may be a "helper daemon" still running. You could paste this command in Terminal:
launchctl list | grep 'BitDefender'
However you may need to try "bd" or just search the output manually, sometimes they can hide out.
If you get any result, that is what is happening. Search for its launchd file at these locations:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/ (in your home folder)
/Library/LaunchAgents (on your computer's system)
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Trash any files you find that contain "bitdefender" or anything that looks suspicious.

Uninstalling CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4 Adobe programs leaving CS5 suit more space.

I would like to remove all my old Adobe suits leaving CS5 more space on the disk, I am not sure how to do this, with thanks

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

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

This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 . Someone from Communities was suppose to help me.

Hi John,
I used the chat "Creative chat support" this afternoon at around 14:40
and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support. I
guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
instructions to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.
It looks quite complicated but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
to repair Bridge.
Thanks for caring,
Suzanne Lanthier

I need to reinstall CS2, downloaded from Adobe but when run get serial nr missing, even if I use the one Adobe is providing

Lost my laptop, and now I need to reinstall CS2, in order to install CS3. I downloaded CS2 from Adobe site but when I run the program I get an error message: Your Adobe Photoshop user name, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue. I was using the serial nr that Adobe is providing on the CS2 download page.
Any help much appreaciated

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work

Differentiate CS, CS2, CS3 files???

Hi,
Is it possibile to identify the version of an an InDesign file? Suppose a folder contains 3 files of different versions... How to find out which file is a CS2 or CS file?
Someone pls help...
Thank You.

If you only need to identify through CS3, you can open the file and
search for: <xap:CreatorTool>Adobe InDesign \d
The number at the end of the string will be the version number (3, 4,
or 5).
In CS4, they changed the format of the identifier and it's now :
<xmp:CreatorTool>Adobe InDesign 6.0</xmp:CreatorTool> instead of:
<xap:CreatorTool>Adobe InDesign 5.0</xap:CreatorTool> (i.e. xmp
instead of xap). You'll need to adjust your search accordingly...
Probably a RegEx something like this is the way to go...
/<x(a|m)p:CreatorTool>Adobe InDesign \d/

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].

once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks
