How do i uninstall/remove photoshop cs3

what is the best way to remove photoshop cs3? how do i uninstall a program?
dragging it to trash doesnt remove everything. help!

You should be able to open the Finder, go to Utilities, then go to Adobe Installers. There is an uninstaller in there. It is supposed to uninstall everything. In theory. Adobe actually cautions against trashing the application folders now, according to their readme file.

How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS 3 from my Mac, without an uninstaller?

How can I uninstall my Photoshop CS3 from my Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? It has never opened, since I increased the Mac's capacity to 2 TB. Now I want to throw the Photoshop CS3 away and get a brand new Photoshop CS5. There does not seem to be an uninstaller anywhere to be found. Adobe spent an hour and a half on the phone with me and could not find a work-around. We tried to reinstall the CS3 from the disk, but the installations failed.
An earlier Photoshop CS2 is also on the computer and needs to be uninstalled.
Is there a way to rescue my computer and put the new Photoshop on it?

You need to manually delete the caps.db (somewehre in the Library:Application Support:Adobe folder) and then you can trash the program folders. Without an existing caps.db, a new one wil lbe created from scratch and al linstalls should run as if there never was anything on the system just as conversely you should not have trouble simply deleting the old versions...

You would have to find some third party vendor and take your chances there. Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

How do I re-activate Photoshop CS3

Today, May 21st, 2014, I received a prompt upon launching my Photoshop CS3 that made me a little wary. I, so says the message, only have 5 days to re-activate my Photoshop before it kicks me off completely even though I have the serial ID, it has been PAID FOR. I put MONEY into this and time and effort. So, in 5 days, I won't be able to access my PS CS3.
Here is a screenshot of it: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p83/black_pearl_photos/PS1_zpse935f0ac.png
It says, in short, "After 5 days you will be unable to use the product if activation has not been successfully restored." And continues, "This product's activation is broken or invalid."
On February, 24, 2014, I activated this software onto my computer (Windows 8) and it has worked flawlessly thus far. Why is it asking me to re-activate?
So, I click "re-activate" like a good girl.
Screenshot: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p83/black_pearl_photos/PS2_zpse6b25bff.png
It perpetually loads for a good 10-15 minutes each time only to time out and give me a "no connection" error.
Screenshot: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p83/black_pearl_photos/PS3_zps7a92ada6.png
I am connected to very nice and stable internet and I never have an issue with it, so it can't be my internet.
I went to customer service and spoke with some "Helper" who's name started with "Muc-" and I can't recall the rest. They gave me 3 simple steps.
Step 1- Disconnect from the Internet (so when you launch PS, it will not connect)
Step 2- Open Photoshop.
Step 3- Click "never register"
The only issue with this, when I tried it, is as you can see from the screenshot, there is no "never register" option and it just doesn't quite fit the description of my problem.So, after fiddling around with a few options, I went back to Customer Service and spoke with "Sanjay". He told me that Windows 8.1 does not work with CS3 even though, for me, for the last 3 months, it has been working flawlessly until this really wonky "re-activation" request. He immediately pushed the Forums for user-based help, and wouldn't talk to me about anything. Kept shoving the Forums down my throat. And also told me to spend money by upgrading to creative-cloud. I'm not made of money here. There's a reason I am trying to stick with my CS3 because, I already paid for it. it's been paid for. I don't need to worry about subscription fees or extra bills. I have enough on my plate. So, finally, fed up, I go to the user base and just search for similar issues. I see users with similar issues, but no responses to help mediate the issue. So, I go BACK to customer service.
I am connected to "Rachana" and this "helper" starts off with the same, Serial ID, basic questions, so on and so forth. And then promptly tells me that The Customer Service System no longer supports CS3 customer service. If CS3 is still downloadable, somewhere on the Adobe.com website, should the support that goes along with it still continue considering people still use it? And pushed me BACK to the forums. So. There is my issue, my frustration, and all that good stuff.
How. Can. I. Fix. This.

The CS2 activation servers are off-line permanently. See the page below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Follow the instructions carefuly to download the new software file(s) from that page. Use the activation code from that page, not your old key, to activate the software.

How to check legality of Photoshop CS3 DVD

Some years ago, I purchased PhotoShop CS3 for my Windows system. When I ditched my Windows hardware and switched to Mac, I retained Windows in Boot Camp for a time for backwards compatibility. I loaded Photoshop CS3 there. When I no longer required any Windows capability, I deactivated the software and uninstalled it.
These days I use CS6 on the Mac.
I want to pass on the CS3 DVD to my 89 year old Dad but want to be sure that I have done everything to make this a legal transfer.
I have checked my registered products on Adobe.com and the software is not there.
Is the only way to be sure to have my Dad install it and see if it works?
Having worked for many years for a software company (SAS) I am greatly protective of copyright.

John,
What I had in mind was upgrading from CS3 in steps: CS3 to CS4 to CS5 to CS6.

So the CS6 for Mac in this case must be a full version.
As per the above, not necessarily.

How to read/open Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

In which Programming language Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp are written?
Extend Toolscript wont open and in text edit is just cryptic hireoglyphs.
Thans in advance!

I for one have a totally legitimate reason for editing a PSP file. We have deployed CS3 to thousands of nodes across our campus, and the behavior of the scratch disk just made my jaw drop in horror (not to mention the sporadic way the PSP file is created and modified). NONE of our users (except admins) have access to the root of the C:\, yet it will only write to the root of a partition! I have found that the setting is stored in a PSP file, and I am in the middle of writing a 50+ (and growing) line VBScript to essentially create an X:\ to point to C:\temp and change the setting in the PSP file. However, I cannot figure out how this file works. The setting that points the scratch disk to C:\ does not exist in the file unless I have had PS open for a period of time.
Adobe's biggest customers are institutions like ours and I cannot believe this issue went over Adobe's head in testing and QA.
I did however, get a kick out of the dozens of instances of the string "loob".

How to completely uninstall/remove Safari 3.X from Tiger/Leopard

I have been having Safari problems on some of our computers, and I want to remove it and reinstall fresh later on. How can I completely remove Safari? i imagine it shares some Libraries with other applications. I dont think trashing the App and it's plists really removes it anymore.. how can I get rid of all traces of Safari without hosing other applications?
Thanks in Advance,

What makes you say Safari isn't the problem? My iMac ran fine until I updated Safari to Tiger 3.2.1. Now it crashes incessantly. Totally unstable. I have to use Firefox.
Raybo, your post confuses me a bit. When you say "it crashes incessantly" do you mean it's the new version of Safari for Tiger that "crashes", or is it your iMac? How exactly does the "crash" manifest itself?
I have had problems with Safari 3.2.1 but I've come to the conclusion they're directly attributable to its new "warn when visiting fraudulent websites" option. Unchecking it is the cure. Using Firefox works too.
And yes, simply dragging Safari to the Trash will completely eradicate it.

I want to remove photoshop cs3 completely.

I downoaded the trial version and I want to remove it completely, but I'm having trouble uninstalling it. I'm using windows XP.
Problems:
I can't uninstall it. I possibly deleted one or more of it's components.
Ran windows installer cleanup Utility and it didn't work.
Wondering if I should just start deleting the photoshop files manually from the c drive.
I've tried the obvious routes:
Start,
Control Panel,
Add or Remove Programs,
Change/remove.
When I click the Change/Remove option, the hour glass loader appears for a few seconds, then the screen flickers for a momonet then nothing happens.
I've tried restoring my computer to an earlier time, but that didn't work.
I've tried looking for other support forums on this adobe website, but I only find solutions for uninstalling from trail to purchased modes...not uninstalling completely.
I've tried calling adobe support and after an 1hr 1/2 of questions, taking down my personal information, and listening to elevator music, they finally tell me that there will be a 39 dollar charge to uninstall the software from my computer.
Can anyone explain to me how to resolve this issue? Appreciate any help I can get!

You seem to have tried all the right things.
Two more things to try:
Re-install the trial over the top and try again to uninstall.
Run the Adobe clean script. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
If all else fails you will have to manually delete.
Do you have other versions on the computer?
