How do I remove older versions of Photoshop?

Tried the recommended method for Windows PC's.  However, I keep getting "Error 1316. The specified account already exists."  I am currently running Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 13.  I also have versions 8, 10, 11, and 12 on my computer.  I would like to remove these older version.  Suggestions?

I tend to keep all versions installed as they are each stand-alone applications and removal doesn’t save much disk space although if you are running short of space all those versions will add up. If you are happy with the way PSE13 is running try this:
Run MS Fixit and then try uninstalling again from the Windows control panel.

If that doesn’t work, and you feel competent navigating system files, it’s possible to uninstall manually.

  • How do you remove older versions of flash player?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and re-installed with the
    new version, but I am still unable to get rid of version 9.0.115.0.
    I can not find anything on the adobe site to remedy this. This is
    my first laptop and don't want any unnecessary vulnerabilities on
    it. Below is the link to the site where I got my information as
    well as the"'warning" about the only thing that shows up vulnerable
    on my computer.
    http://secunia.com/advisories/28083/
    NOTE: When updating Flash Player, older versions are not
    always automatically removed from your system. If older versions
    were detected that you believe should not be present, then please
    contact the vendor regarding how to remove them from your system.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have Macromedia Flash Player versions 4.0.7.0, 6.0.80.0,
    6.0.79.0 and 7.0.19.0 on my system and have tried using the Adobe
    uninstaller multiple time to no avail (does it just uninstall from
    the browser?). Anyway, I agree it appears these old files may be
    vulnerable. Why does Adobe make it so difficult to remove old
    programs? By the way they do not appear in my Windows Add/Remove
    list. Please give us some specific method to remove them (not just
    another reference to the uninstaller). Thank you

  • How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows

    According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
    Anybody know about this?

    If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
    To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.

  • How do I remove older version of bonjour

    My I tunes quit working so I uninstalled and went to reinstall and it but it won't load because an older version of bonjour can't be uninstalled,  The program Bonjour is not in my programs list and searching doesn't help because it won't uninstall even if I find it in my search.  Help

    What didn't work?  Removing everything or just the older version of Bonjour?  Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided above to walk you through the process?
    Perhaps it would be a better idea to post this in the iTunes forums, since it is an issue with iTunes and your iPod Shuffle.

  • Should I deactivate my older version of Photoshop prior to upgrading?

    Can I deactivate and remove older versions of Photoshop after upgrading?

    Yes, though it is better to have done it before installing the new version to help avoid any potential for removing some file(s) that might be shared.

    How do I download an older version of photoshop? Elements13 (just bought) isn't compatible with Mac os 10.6.8

    You can find the installer for older Elements versions here: Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10. Please note that you will need to have already purchased a serial number for the older programs.
    FYI, this the the Photoshop forum, Elements questions should be asked here: Photoshop Elements. Not to worry though, a moderator had move this thread to the correct forums for you...

  • 16 bit depth photo restoration, older version of Photoshop.

    I use an older version of Photoshop.  It is able to import and read a 16 bit depth file.  Though it is limited in what it can do with this bit depth, it can do the levels and curves adjustments on an image. I want to have the best quality scan to start with for photo restoration in my older Photoshop. I won't be able to directly import the file with my older Photoshop from the scanner.  If I scan a photo as a 16 bit 600 ppi image, I'm afraid color information will be lost when I open it in the older Photoshop.  Is there any way I can open and save such a file without losing all that good color information? I know I would need to save it in a format that supports 16 bit depth like png versus jpeg.

    Not exactly sure how Image Capture works on lion, but i belive i read that since os x 10.5 that it should scan in 16 bits/channel
    Are you able to use the software that came with the scanner instead of Image Capture or maybe you need to update your scanner software or
    possibly check the preference in the Image Capture scanner preferences to use Twain Software When Possible.
    Or scanner software like VueScan which is much better than most software that ships with scanners.

    Anyway if the scan is saved as a 16 bits/channel tif as output by the scanner to a place (folder) on your hard drive, then ps7 should open it as such.

  • I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

    I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5.  I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

    No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    or
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
    If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need  to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

    Hi johnd83157268,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
    You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
    Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
    Try again and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha
