How do I launch a previous version of Illustrator after installing CC

Need to bring up old licensed copy of Illustrator in order to convert my old Freehand files.

Dave,
You can always install a newer version on top of an older one.
As I understand it (and no less so with CC/CC2014 involved), installing an older version would get you into a mess in connexion with shared files, which would be changed sot they could no longer serve the newer one.
But if you uninstall the newer/newest, and then start over and install the older/oldest first, you can install the newer/newest (in strict order) afterwards and have the shared files update/upgraded along the way.
I think they want me to uninstall CC and then reinstall CS3, which is licensed, then use it to convert my files and then uninstall that and reinstall CC, etc.
I believe they may have been overly woolly and/or unaware of your actual need to keep CS3 for future use.
You can have all the versions installed, and even running, at the same time. There are some funny things with other applications, such as Acrobat, where you have to let the older one(s) go to have a newer one, or if you wish to keep an older one, abstain from the newer one (choosing whichever is less worse, or even least worst).

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

  • FAQ: How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?

    How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?
    Case 1: You have updated Photoshop Express on your phone, but iTunes on your computer has the old version
    1. First, go to iTunes on your computer. In the "Apps" section, look for the Photoshop Express icon.
    2. Right click on the icon and go to "Get Info"
    3. Ensure that the version number reflects 2.7.2, if not, then proceed to Case 2.
    4. Next, delete Photoshop Express from your phone or tablet.
    5. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    6. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    7. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials
    Case 2: You have already updated Photoshop Express on your computer
    When iTunes updates an app on your computer, it automatically moves the old version to the trash. To retrieve it and install on your device, follow these steps
    1. Go to your trash and look for a file named something like "Photoshop Express 2.7.2.ipa" (depending on which version you had previously)
    1A. If you have already emptied your trash you may be able to find this in a machine backup.
    2. Move this file to your desktop to make it easy to find.
    3. Go to iTunes, and in the Library section select "Apps".
    4. Look for the Photoshop Express icon, right click and select "Delete".
    5. Now, take the version you moved from the trash and drag it into iTunes.
    6. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    7. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    8. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten. You can view available backups under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Any backups listed that are time/date stamped are backups from restore points. These backups are not overwritten. Do you maintain a backup of your computer data? If so, you might be able to retrieve a prior iPhone backup from your computer backup.

  • How can i get the previous version of iTunes back

    I have a MacBook with a DVD/CD drive, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I recently updated to iTunes version 12.0.1.26. It seems to be designed for Macs without a DVD/CD drive. How can I get the previous version back? I don't have a back up or use time machine.

    Thanks Chris, there a number of problems I'm experiencing. When I insert a CD, despite the preference being ticked, I nolonger get the box that asks me if I want to import. When I did manage to import I couldn't find where the file had gone. Perhaps what I need is a good user guide for the latest version of iTunes because at this point the impression I have is unless I'm buying from iTunes nothing seems to work as it previously did. It is impossible to add anything to my library.
    I'd be the first to admit I'm no computer nerd and all the information I've found so far to try and sort out my difficulties don't seem to work. Can someone please tell me where can I get a good user guide for iTune 12.0.1.26 because I find it far from intuitive? At least then I have a chance of working out if it's me or the machine.
    Many thanks in anticipation.

  • My antivirus software dosen't work with firefox, How do I get a previous version?

    After installing the new Firefox update. It says that my antivirus scanner will not work. How do I get my previous version so I can use my program?

    Firefox didn't say that. Firefox only disables Firefox add-ons that aren't compatible with the new version of Firefox. It doesn't do anything with the actual AV program.
    Check with your AV vendor for an update for Firefox 6 compatibility.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher

  • How can I reinstall a previous version of muse?

    How can I reinstall a previous version of muse? I tried under Apps in Creative Cloud - previous versions- but there are no previous versions of muse showing up. What can I do? Ever since muse upgraded yesterday it crashes every time I try to publish, preview or save a site...
    Edward

    The last update is horrible:/
    Muse crashes again and again and again. Not possible to work with this version!!!
    Sorry, but we don't have time to try this or try that... The fact is, using version 2014.2 no problems. Suddenly it's impossible to work with.
    Make a version 2014.2 available for download so that we can downgrade. I can't wait until the problems are solved, because we have to change some things very urgently.
