How to uninstall Adobe CS5 applications

Hi,
I joined Adobe Creative Cloud and installed some of the applications. Now I have CS5 and CS5 versions.
Some applications have uninstall exectuable file to uninstall the programs. But some don't. What would be
the good way to uninstall the applications?
Do I just delete the folder? Will that be a clean uninstall?
Thanks.

Commonguy101 are you trying to remove the Creative Suite 5 version of the software which is installed?
In regards to the uninstall process this will be dependent on which operating system you are using. What operating system do you have installed? In general just deleting the folder which contains the Adobe application will not remove the software and can cause future issues with installing Adobe applications in the future.

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 completely?

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Download Manager completely?
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and I don't want to uninstall that.

Hi
Most Mac applications come in self-contained packages (ctrl-click, or right-click, & you will see Show Package Contents), they can just be dragged to the trash.
Some applications have their own uninstaller which must be run.
With Adobe Reader 8, I believe the icon in Applications is a folder so just drag it to the trash & empty the trash. I believe Download Manager (Applications/Utilities) should be the same. Someone may know different.
There is also AppZapper or AppDelete. These work by you dragging & dropping the application you wish to delete onto its icon, AppZapper/AppDelete then pulls all parts of that application together then moves it to the trash.

How to uninstall a DMG application

My question is just what it says. How do you uninstall a DMG application?
Please don't say "Just drag it to the trash" because that's not uninstallation.
I installed Adobe Reader and found it was slower than Preview, so I was looking for a way to uninstall it.
I did drag it to the trash and had it gotten rid of, but there are traces of the program on my Mac and I'm not happy with it.
Any ideas?
Some people suggeted that I use APPCLEANER but obviously others think it's crap, and I wouldn't trust a third-party app to find out another app's system files and delete them properly.
And please don't say "You don't need to get rid of those because it does you no harm," because I want them removed.

Some people suggeted that I use APPCLEANER but obviously others think it's crap, and I wouldn't trust a third-party app to find out another app's system files and delete them properly.
Well that would be your loss because I use a number of 3rd party apps to delete other apps and they work fine. You already know about AppCleaner, which is free. There are also two paid apps; AppZapper, that makes a cool zap sound when it deletes the files you allow. And there is AppDelete.
Or you can go on a hunt for files yourself with the free app FindAnyFile.
But of course the best is the other suggestion here, to use an uninstall program if the developer provides one.

Color appearing differently in different Adobe CS5 applications

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why color tends to appear different on screen in different Adobe applications, even if I have synchronised the color settings for CS5 applications?
The following image provides an example, where you can see the same image viewed in InDesign (top left), Bridge (top right), Photoshop (bottom left) and Acrobat (bottom right).
All the CS5 applications are set to the "Europe General Purpose 3" color setting, and the image has the CMYK profile Coated FOGRA39 (from "Europe General Purpose 3"). The PDF was exported from InDesign with the "Press Quality" preset.
As you can see it appears quite similar in InDesign and Bridge, but really different in Photoshop and Acrobat.
Thanks,
Eivind

Hi, I thought you might be Norwegian
I just recently bought the monitor, and since it comes calibrated from the factory (according to Dell) I'm sticking with factory settings so far. I do have a calibrator however. The monitor profile doesn't seem to be the problem though. When checking on my MacBook Pro screen it's the same problem.
Colors seem slightly more consistent after I flattened the PSD file and saved it as a JPEG, even if the color settings are still the same. Note: I have messed with the color of the image since the last screen grab, but it is the same version of the image in all application windows in the screen grab below.
Annoying that you can't trust a layered PSD to come out right. When working with the layered PSD it also made a huge difference when I changed the InDesign export option from regular "Press Quality" to "Press Quality" with the PDF/X-4 standard activated. Is there any good explanation for this?
I'll try changing the CMYK profile settings and see how that turns out.

Adobe CS5 Applications open/save dialog boxes size always resets

So, since the Mountain Lion update, all of my Adobe CS5 save/open window dialog boxes reset their size each time. In my case they are too small, causing me to have to enlarge the window out every time, to be able to see file names/locations etc.
Not a massive issue, but rather annoying when I think of the time I'm wasting resizing windows hundreds of times a day, especially as this never used to happen.
Is this an Adobe issue?
Can anyone using Adobe CS6 on Mountain Lion tell me if they experience this too?
Anyone on using Adobe CS5 on OSX-10.8.2 experienced this too, any suggestions?

I came here looking for this very same help. It is driving me crazy. It happened when I recently updated to Mountain Lion. It has to be a Mountain Lion problem, as I'm using the very same Adobe products that I've used for years and it never occurred before.
I'm also having the problem with Mountain Lion resizing my coverflow finder windows every time I open them. Also completely annoying.
How do I get the windows (saving and coverflow) to stay in the same position as I last had them versus resetting to some default position every time I open them or click on a new file? Very annoying.

Hi, and sorry that the uninstaller is having this problem there.
We haven't seen this problem internally, and would like to learn more about it so we can provide you with the best workaround.
Have you already tried using Apple's Disk Utility to repair permissions on that disk? If you haven't already, that's worth doing first before trying the steps below.
Here's one possible solution that could be faster than manual steps:
(1) install at least one qualifying CS6 app, if you have already replaced them all with CC versions. I believe not having a qualifying CS6 app is why your re-install of 4.2 failed earlier.
(2) re-install Adobe Drive 4.2
(3) reboot, and then uninstall Adobe Drive 4.2
In step 1, the qualifying CS6 app (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) can be in trial mode, but you shouldn't even need to launch it after installing it.
Did AD 4.2 uninstall successfully in step 3? If not, we'll dig deeper.

How to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 2

Hello,
One of our computer broke at the office.
My collegua tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the new computer in June.
It didn't work.
Today I contacted the online assistance to install the program. The assistance explained me how to downloaded the 3 discs.
I did it but when I tried to open them when downloaded it asked me if I wanted to install/uninstall/delete it and then ask me to put the disc1 and didn't recognise the disc.
I understood that the last version downloaded on your website doesn't require any CD.
I tried to uninstall the old version but it didn't work.
Can you explain how to uninstall the old version to be able to open the new one?
Thank you in advance.

do you an old version installed now?
if yes, what os? if windows, use start>control panel>uninstall programs>uninstall the one of the cs2 programs and select all.

How to uninstall adobe dng converter 8.3??

hello,
i installed adobe dng converter on my windows 7 system. i am very thankfull for any advice how to uninstall it.
the program isn't listed like other programs in the control panel - programs area, so there's no option to uninstall it the usual way.
greetings sebastian

Why do you think it is necessary to get rid of them? They are automatically installed with Lightroom updates and Camera Raw updates anyway. There really isn't any need to get rid of them. You might someday be in a situation where you could need one of those profiles. If you are using Lightroom or Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you probably already had most of those profiles installed. The installation of the DNG converter would only have added a few new profiles that were added in the latest version.

How to uninstall Adobe Edge Reflow after installing Adobe Edge Reflow CC

After installing Adobe Edge Reflow CC via Creative Cloud I have noticed I still have Adobe Edge Reflow on my machine.
There is no specific uninstaller in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
So how do I uninstall it?

Jarrid it sounds like you may be having more severe issues since this is the second program you are now stating you are not able to uninstall.
I would recommend you uninstall all currently installed Adobe Creative software using the uninstallers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you can use the CS Cleaner Tool to verify a complete removal. You can find details at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

How can I install CS 5.5 on my MBA 13" (Late 2010)
if anyway failed, which CS will install good? (CS3 / CS4 / CS5 )???
Help me Guys !!!

It sounds like your hard drive was formatted wrong.
Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select the drive (probably named Macintosh HD if it's your main or only drive)
At the bottom of the window, check the format. It should say Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If it says Case-Sensitive, that's your problem. You'll have to reformat the drive to fix it.
If it's your main drive, that means you'll have to reinstall the OS after formatting.
