How to uninstall CS5?

I recently got CS6. But I left CS5 in my computer as a backup. Now I want to uninstall CS5 because I believe CS5 is the reason my CS6 programs keep crashing on me without offering to save my work prior to crashing.
How do I uninstall CS5 completely, without harming CS6 in any way?
thanks in advance for your response.

You don't. The rest is unfounded speculation. unisntall both version, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall only CS6.

  • How to Uninstall CS5 on Mac?

    My computer died and a former version saved on a Mac Time Capsule put back everything, EXCEPT, I cannot use my Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
    I have been told to uninstall and reinstall the CD. I cannot find anything in Utilities that mentions "uninstall" except for something called "Adobe Air."
    How to I uninstall my CS5 Suite?
    I do not care if it uninstalls prior versions of CS too, since I do not use them.
    Thank you.

    First, this forum is the Adobe Connect Forum for Adobe Connect issues. Suggest you might be oin the wrong area for posting CS5 issues.
    On the Mac, just uninstall by dragging from your Applications folder the CS5 folder that contains the suite of CS applications.

  • How to uninstall and reinstall Adobe InDesign CS5?

    My Adobe InDesign CS5 stopped opening properly. Upon startup all the menu items were grayed out and unaccessible. Adobe Chat support advised me to uninstall and reinstall CS5.
    My other Adobe programs are working fine. (CS5 photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, etc.)
    MacBook Pro OS10.9.3
    Anyone know how to uninstall and reinstall CS5?
    Unfortunately Adobe chat service no longer supports this function on this older software.
    Thanks for your help.

    before you go to the trouble of uninstalling/reinstalling--try this (it's called resetting the preferences)
    OOPs--I forgot that I was in the indesign forum
    There is a quick and easy method for doing this using the keyboard: close and relaunch InDesign, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. There are two downsides to this method, however. First, you must be extremely fast on the keyboard (if you don’t see the confirmation prompt, you were too slow), and second, anytime you replace the preferences you will lose most program customizations, and using the keyboard method leaves you with no backup to restore them when the problem turns out to be something else.
    My preferred method is to CLOSE INDESIGN and do a “manual” prefs replacement, which consists of finding and renaming the two files which make up the preference set: InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData. BOTH of these files should be replaced at the same time. You can delete them, but renaming or moving them will give you the opportunity to copy them back in the event that new prefs doesn’t cure your issue. When you restart ID, the program will look for these two files, and when they are not found, a new default set will be written.

  • After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
    In a nutshell:
    If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6.  The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
    Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
    All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work.  When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

  • Installed CS6 and now can't uninstall CS5

    Just as the title says.  CS5 is no longer listed in Programs and Features.  I searched all the CS5 folders for a file named uninstall and found nothing.  Any idea on how to get CS5 of this computer?

    I did but CS5 is still taking up tons of space on the SSD.  Can I just delete all the CS5 folders?
    The cleaner tool didn't remove a single file from this SSD that I can tell.

  • Lost icons when uninstalling CS5/6

    Hi
    I just installed CC versions on my PC. When I uninstalled CS5, all my adobe icons were lost. Now it's just a blank paper-icon where InD should have been on my files.
    How can I get it back?
    Charlotte

    That's expected. Older versions simply don't know about newer ones and will unregister file associations. You will have to reinstall CC to reinstate fiel associations or manually rebuild them.

  • Need help uninstalling CS5

    I downloaded a trial version of both Photoshop and InDesign CS5 and don't have room for either on my computer right now, though I might buy them some time in the future. But I need them off of my computer, yet every time I click "uninstall" nothing happens. I successfully uninstalled Photoshop yesterday, but had to system restore so it's back on my computer. How can I get rid of these programmes? I see the Creative Suite Cleaner tool, but it says you have to uninstall the programme first... All help greatly appreciated!

  • How to Uninstall Leopard Upgrade and go back to Tiger

    I would like to go back to Tiger and was wondering how to uninstall the Leopard upgrade without having to do a full reformat. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    First, welcome to the Apple boards.
    Backup what you have because it probably contains things from the original update you want to keep - network settings, passwords, etc. A bootable clone is your best bet - and test it out.
    Then you need to format your HD (full, not quick) with the Leopard DVD and then reboot with the Tiger CD and install it. I am not sure how much you can migrate "downwards" from the Leopard backup, but some things will probably come along OK. Not sure about mail since it was converted by Leopard - will it unconvert? Don't know.
    I have read of some who tried to simply install Tiger over Leopard but the results were less than great. You can try it once you have that clone backup, because you won't be losing anything.
    I would suggest unplugging the clone during the erase and install process until you get to the migration point.

    I have a brand new Leopard based MacBook Pro that I need to revert to its previous cat form of Tiger. Would you mind walking me through it? I have Tiger disks that came with another MacBook Pro so those should have all of the machine specific items I will need. As I understand this, I start the computer from the included Leopard disk and do a full format. (I noticed that there is a new partition style named GUID Partition, is this Leopard only?) Next, I load in my Tiger disks and install from those? I do not need to do any system backups as I have no information on this computer as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Brian

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • How to uninstall pages 5 on iPad 2?

    I still use pages 4 on my Mac, and have updated my iPad2 to iOS7 and spontenuously to pages 5 as well. Then, I can't read on my Mac a document in iCloud that was altered on my iPad with pages 5. Of course, to update my Mac to pages 5 would solve this, but I'd still like to use the features on pages4. Does anybody know how to uninstall pages 5 on iPad and revert back to pages4?

    Hi there,
    is your app stuck in "loading status"? Or are you trying to cancel an ongoing loading process?
    if stuck:
    Perform a reset of your ipad.
    Hold down home-button and on/off-button together for about 10 seconds (Ipad will first show you it´s shut-off-screen, then will turn, then will show apple logo again <- that´s where you release).
    After doing so my "faulty" app restored properly, I hav no more issues.
    If in loading stage and you would like to cancel:
    You will need to wait for loading and installation to complete.
    Then press and hold down finger on any app. Apps start shaking and (if not proper to ipads iOS) will show a small circled "x" above left, press that "x", you will be asked if you really wish to delete, press ok. Done.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards
    Max
