How to uninstall old versions of CS3, CS4, CS5 of Bridge, Device Central, and Extension Manager

I have the following files:
Adobe Bridge CS3
Adobe Bridge CS4
Adobe Bridge CS5.1
Adobe Device Central CS3
Adobe Device Central CS4
Adobe Device Central CS5
Adobe Device Central CS5.5
Adobe Extension Manager CS4
Adobe Extension Manager CS5
Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5
I want to delete the old versions of these files, but Adobe says I need to use the installers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers, but there are no relevant files in that folder. Any ideas on how to do this properly on a Mac.

That is correct Dancingjewel.  Migrating/transferring/copying Adobe applications is not supported and often leads to unexpected behavior.  To resolve this you will want to attempt to completely remove the current installations utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool and then reinstall.  If you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Other downloads.

  • Is it Okay to Uninstall Device Central, Encore, Extension Manager and These Other Programs?

    I just installed CS4 of Adobe Premiere Pro because I heard good things about the program and needed something to edit my videos together, but didn't realize it consisted of so many other programs I've never heard of. After installing it, the old computer I'm using now only has less than 200 mb left in the C:/ Drive.
    Since I'm only interested in editing videos together, would it be okay to uninstall all the other Adobe programs like Device Central, Encore, Extension Manager, AIR and Color Common Settings. I'm only going to use Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator. But I'm not quite sure if I would lose something vital that will prevent me from using the programs I actually want to use.
    Thanks.

    I dont think uninstalling mentioned programs will give you much disk space.
    The only thing I would uninstall is Encore.
    You best option is to get a new disk, because I do not think its going to work properly. You need additional workspace on the C;drive.

  • '07 macbook pro with Lion.  I cannot install Adobe Flash Player.  Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help.  I'm a novice and stuck.  Help.

    Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update.  Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
    I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player.  Any ideas, suggestion?  Please help.

    Feel sooo dumb.  Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link.  At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install.  This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila!  Thanks for your help.  I'm back in business.

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.

  • How to Uninstall Old Versions and Install Version 6 Update 13 of Java

    When I try to install Version 6 Update 13 (tried it by downloading file and doing a manual install), get this message:
    bin\awt.dll:Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.
    Have tried to unintall Version 12 from "Add/Remove Programs" with no luck.
    Shall I unistall all Java programs and try to reinstall?

    Bailey,
    This is a bit of a pain the arrse but... I suggest you disable java in all your browsers in (tools ~ options) and then reboot to ensure the java plugin is not loaded. Now try uninstalling through add-remove-programs.
    If add-remove-programs doesn't work then manually delete the JRE & JDK directories in windows explorer and then run a registry-cleaner (google it, there's a few good free ones, I use registry-mechanic and crapcleaner (yes that's really what it's called)) to clean-up dangling guids, etc. Also check add-remove-programs... if any of the old Java installs still appear then try uninstalling.. they should throw some sort of "installation not found" error and remove themselves from the programs list.
    Once all the old versions of Java have been removed then install the latest version, which should install it's plugins in your browser(s) and activate itself... look in (tools ~ options) again.
    Check your PATH, JAVA_HOME, etc environment variables... just type "set" at the command prompt... update them to point to your new JRE (and your new JDK if you have one).
    If you have a CLASS_PATH variable I recommend you copy&paste it's value into a desktop/class_path.txt and delete the variable, coz it's worse than useless.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • How to uninstall trial version of InDesign CS4

    I need to reinstall my CS3 suite, but installation process
    asks for InDesign CS 4 which I supposedly "uninstalled" already.
    Some traces I guess remain - how to do the complete Uninstall?
    Thanks!

    If you tried to uninstall the trial by dragging it to the Trash, that's not the right way.
    There should be an uninstaller in this location: Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers. The installers/uninstallers are in that folder.

  • How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall
    Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the same computer. • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional • Adobe VersionCue CS2 • Adobe Bridge
    • Adobe GoLive CS2 • Adobe Illustrator CS2 • Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Photoshop CS2 • AdobeHelpCenter.app
    6 -- From the Utilities folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Adobe Utilities • Adobe Updater.app
    7 -- From the Library folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Application Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData • Application Support/Adobe/Assistance • Application Support/Adobe/StartupScripts/Workflow Automation Scripts
    • Preferences/Adobe/Workflow • Preferences/com.adobe.ActivationUtility.plist • Preferences/com.adobe.GoLive.plist • Preferences/Adobe Save For Web GL 8.0 Prefs
    8 -- From the Users/[user name] folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Library/Preferences Panes/Opera Preferences
    • Library/Caches/Opera Cache
    • Documents/AdobeStockPhotos
    To remove Version Cue manually (Mac OS only, not recommended)
    If you’ve accidentally removed parts of the Version Cue installation manually or if the uninstaller fails, you have to remove the remaining installed Version Cue components manually.
    1 -- From the Library/PreferencePanes folder, drag the Version Cue CS2.prefPane folder to the trash. 2 -- From the Library/Preferences folder, drag the com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file to the trash. 3 -- From the Library/StartupItems folder, drag the AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder to the trash. 4 -- From the Applications folder, drag the Adobe Version Cue CS2 folder to the trash.
    5 -- From [user home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe, drag the Workflow folder to the trash. 6 -- (Optional) From the [user home]/Documents folder, drag the Version Cue folder to the trash.

  • How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply to Stefan Erix

    How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply how to do it to Stefan Erix, Uppsala, Sweden
    <Email Edited by Host>

    If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
    You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

  • HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

    When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to suppress old version WF for Old notifications

    Hi all,
    We r using the customised WF for notification QM01.We had created the deadline monitor and send mail to corresponding user by checking the deadline, this is the outstanding message to the user.It was working fine.Now we did the changes in the logic for deadline monitoring by adding the notification status in the logic, if it is deleted don't consider to check for deadline and not required to send the outstanding mail.Now the prob is for one notification WF has already triggered with old version in which we didn't considerd the status.And the deadline monitoring messages were kept in loop up 49 times.After dat we did the changes in deadline monitoring by adding the status.Now the notification got deleted but then also the system considering the old version(deadline monitoring with out considering the status) and sending the outstanding messages.How can i manage to deactivate the old version of WF for the old notification it self.
    Thanks

    HI,
    If the workflow instance is no longer required, you can logically delete the workflow through SWIA else you can manually complete the workitem so that deadline is no longer valid.
    Regards,

  • From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    Nobody can tell you that. CS2 activation was turned off because of bugs in the software that made it too difficult to maintain. so far no such thing has been the case with the otehr versions. Either way, if and when that time comes surely Adobe will let you know and provide a solution...

    If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online.  If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.
    Chat support - For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
