How to uninstall applications, such as old versions of Photoshop, etc.?

What's the proper way to uninstall applications, such as previous versions of Photoshop, InDesign, etc.? I've read that the uninstall procedure resides on the "root" folder -- but where's that?

Apps that are installed via an installer usually also include an uninstaller. Others that you drag & drop to Applications are uninstalled by dropping them into the trash. Do note that remnants might be scattered about in various Application Support, Cache, and Preference folders. Those you'll have to manually find and delete.

    how to uninstall application?

    You can just drag it to the Trash, if it doesn't come with an uninstaller. If it comes with an uninstaller, use that. I also use a little app called AppDelete to get rid of auxiliary files that may be left behin by simply dragging an app to the Trash. There is a 'free' version called AppCleaner. Some people use these apps, some are vehemently opposed to using such apps - I've never had any trouble.

  • Hate the new iMovie how to I revert to the old version?

    loaded movie clips thinking the new iMovie with updates would be better than the pervious version....WRONG!!!  New version is much more difficult to use.  How do I revert to the old version??? HELP!! My job depends on getting this video together my MONDAY!! YIKES!

    The install of iMovie 10 doesn't remove the previous iMovie version 9 or any of its files.
    Look for it in your HD/Applications folder.

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

    How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP?  I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

  • How to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?

    Can anybody show me how to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?
    I mean I want to remove the applications completely from my iphone, not just hide the icons.

    Page 127 of the manual:
    "You can delete applications you’ve installed from the App Store. If you delete an
    application, data associated with the application will no longer be available to iPhone,
    even if you reinstall the application.
    You can reinstall any application and any associated data from your iTunes library
    as long as you backed up the application by syncing to your computer. If you try to
    delete an application that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.
    Delete an App Store application:
    1 Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to
    wiggle.
    2 Tap the “x” in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    3 Tap Delete, then press the Home button to save your arrangement."

  • I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-instal

    I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-install a previous version b/c I need both a product Id (GOd only knows where that is now) and a way to uninstall the trial. Any ideas?

    When you installed the trial, there should have been an option to have ignored your current installation and leave it. Apparently you skipped that case. To uninstall the trial (in Windows) go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select the Acrobat XI and choose uninstall. After the uninstall run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean up your system. HOWEVER, if you see your old Acrobat in that window, do not run the cleaner, but do a repair on the old version.
    You did not mention the old version you had. You might try from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. As for the S/N, you should have register and if so you can get it from Adobe. The instructions are at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload.
    Be sure to backup any download of the old installer and the S/N to CD or backup HD for future use. They will not likely continue to be available.

  • How to update firefox to the old version

    How to update firefox to the old version? currently I am using 24 version and i want to update it to old version 17. please suggest me.

    Hi,
    Is there a reason why you want to downgrade from a lower version to an even lower version? You can do the downgrade yourself but I won't tell you where to get the link to it as I'd be telling you to go back to a old and unsupported version of Firefox and also because the link is easily searchable.
    Feel free to use the old unsupported and insecure versions of Firefox. Please however remember that puts your System and personal data at an increased risk. You may then wish to mitigate that by having well rehearsed bare metal restore strategies or using a virtual machine.

    So you can install.
    Which version are you installing? Which operating system?
    The real issue here seems to be that your serial number is not being accepted?
    Are you entering the correct serial number?

  • How do remove a really old version of Photoshop from Windows 7?

    My parents have a really old version of Photoshop (V 6.0.1) on their Windows 7 PC and want to remove it as they now have Photoshop Elements on their PC.  When trying to uninstall, it is not listed in Programs & Features.  Is there another way of removing this safely?  Thanks

    Simply trash it.

  • I'm about to buy an iMac and am looking to put an old version of photoshop on it. How far back would be compatible EG Photoshop CS2?

    Old version of photoshop compatible with new iMac?

    Well,
    If you are a NOT regular and expert Photoshop user, the you really do not need full Photoshop.
    As has been stated you can use Photoshop Elements OR Pixelmator, then use LemkeSoft's Graphic Converter to do CMYK conversion.
    Graphic Converter is not that expensive an app to add to your arsenal of Mac graphic/art tools.
    These two graphics apps are still cheaper together than either an upgrade version of Photoshop CS3 OR much, MUCH cheaper than a full version of Photoshop.
    http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/
    Also, what type of digital art do you do? Do you work more with images or are you a digital painter?
    You could look at Painter 5 Essentials or full version of Painter which is my painting app of choice which is a lot cheaper than newer versions of full Photoshop and has CMYK support and, also, has the ability to integrate images into its application and has layers, also.
    It's pricey, but it is still cheaper than full versions of Photoshop.
    You can look at these, as well and give yourself some other options.

    how to uninstall application in mac?

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind 4.9, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper 2.0.1
    AppDelete 3.2.6
    Automaton 1.50
    Hazel
    AppCleaner 2.1.0
    CleanApp
    iTrash 1.8.2
    Amnesia
    Uninstaller 1.15.1
    Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    Not only will it delete the app, but all of the associated files. Just dragging the app to the trash does not do that.

  • How do I install old version of Photoshop LE?

    I have an old version of Photoshop LE (and PageMaker 6.5). It has always re-installed as I have purchased new computers over the years until now. Can Adobe send me an update of some sort so this program will work? I hate to have to buy it again!

    i don't think there's anything to replace pagemaker.
    for ps le, you can upgrade to ps cs2 courtesy of adobe, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
