I have CS4 but am installing CS6 rather than upgrading. Do I need to uninstall CS4?

I am still using CS4 at prepsent but am installing the complete CS6 rather than upgrading. Do I need to uninstall CS4 or is that taken care of when installing CS6?

There should be no problem, having two versions of PS installed. For nearly every program, and for decades, Adobe installers do NOT overwrite existing versions of any program - the installation is complete, and separate.
While I have not tested with PS CS 6, going back, I had PS 4.0.1, PS 7.0.1 and PS CS installed on the same computer. The first, was to do something, that was changed in PS 5.0, and that I used about twice per year. The latter two, were because I knew PS 7.0.1, and had just upgraded to CS, and was learning the differences (significant). I kept PS 7 around, in case a client called at 5:00PM with a revision, and the courier was enroute. I did not want to fumble with a new interface, when under deadline. Never had one issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

Yes, just install as you normally would using the serial number you originally used.
You did not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single user license you are allowed to have two activated installations. So feel free to reinstall it if those are the only two machine you plan to have it on and you'd like to have a backup installation.

Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) before installing my new CS6 (Education) Design Standard

Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) Design Standard before I install CS6 ( Education) Design Standard Software? How do I do this, is there an uninstall mechanism available?

Hi bmcgon1,
It doesnt matter if you uninstall the older version or not.CS6 installer would be a new install and it would not overwrite or uninstall the older CS4 version software. if you dont intend to use the older version CS4 software you can unisntall using the Creative Suite Cleaner tool.

Snow Leopard, if you can run it:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

When I load itunes it defaults to the store and then I get a Blue Screen. Does anyone know how to change itunes so that it will default to My Music rather than store. I need to be able to do this before I load itunes.

I solved the problem with the assistance of apple support knowledgebase. Refer to TS3441.

I have a problem to install cs6, please help!

It said I have to close the Flash but I couldn't find it on my mac

Go to Utilities > Activity Monitor, and run it.
You will see all the running applications, processes, etc. Be careful not to end processes you don't understand, but look for "Flash" and then hit the "circle-X" icon at the page top, to force quit that process.
Now you should be able to install CS6.

Do I need to uninstall CS4 before installing CS6

Hello
I'm looking at upgrading from CS4 to CS6. Is it best practice to remove CS4 first? My concern is all work created in CS4 may have computability issues with CS6 and perhaps keeping CS4 around isn't a bad idea as a safety net...

It is not a requirement to uninstall CS4 when installing CS6. As far as upograding from CS4 to CS6 goes you should doublecheck if that is possible. For products that I am aware of there is no longer an upgrade path from CS4 to CS6, only CS5+.

Hi,
i recently subscribed to Creative Cloud, in the main to access Premiere Pro. I am studying film and vidoe and the uni teaches Prem CS6 not CC, can I get the earlier version on this subscription and if so how?

This is about Encore... but to install EncoreCS6 you actually install PProCS6
CS6 is the final Encore http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.html

You may also buy PProCS6 as a standalone program, without the cloud

How can I install CS6 Production Premium upgrade without re-installing CS5.5?

I need to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium on my OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks). I bought CS6 as an upgrade to my CS5.5. I can't reinstall CS5.5 because it doesn't seem to be supported on the new OSX (the installer won't run). CS6 seems to be able to install, but when I enter in the serial number, it says that I need CS5.5 already installed.
I'm working on a tight deadline and hoping for someone to tell me what I should do.. thanks!

When you go to activate CS6 it should indicate that your serial number is valid but a qualifying product cannot be found on the machine (this would be CS5.5). There should be a selection list where you select the older version (CS5.5) as well as an entry where you input the serial number for that older version.

Should I uninstall CS3 before installing CS6 (not an upgrade)?

I have unsuccessfully installed CS6 onto a machine that already has CS3. I have gone through the whole CS6 installation and just can't find the new app anywhere - and CS3 is still there.

It should not be necessary. Except for Acrobat all the apps are independent. What OS are you running? Any error messages?

The tabs I have open show as new tabs rather than the websites I had opened.

I have a large number of tabs open in a window, and when I hit "restore previous session" to open them, they are shown as "new tab" rather than the websites I had opened. Prior to the previous two updates, I had no problem with this, but now it's a recurring issue on Firefox.

Make sure that the history and possibly the disk cache are working.
Do you see the history in the History Manager (Library; Show All History)?
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Bridge auto opens PS CS6 rather than CC

I just upgraded from Photoshop CS6 to CC. When using the Tool Menu in Bridge, to perform a step in Photoshop (for example, create a Contact Sheet or Image Processor), my older version CS6 of Photoshop automatically opens to perform the function, rather than the newer version of CC. How do I change that?

Upgraded to CS5, can we uninstall CS4?

Hello, just installed CS5 upgrade and assumed it would replace CS4 on our system. It appears to have installed as a completely new program and left the original CS4 installation in place.
Q. Can we uninstall the CS4 version to reclaim some HDD space? CS5 seems to be working fine?
The screen shot belows shows the programs listed on the 'start' menu.
edit: We received the upgrade disk from Adobe as we had purchased CS4 after CS5 was announced for release. Both program disks have different serial numbers.

Update for others who may read this....
There is one "ill-effect" that we have since discovered which relates to LR3.
We installed LR3 after CS5 and later removed the previous installation of CS4. This action removes a key in the registry which makes the "Edit in Photoshop" option greyed out on the menu bar.
The solution was eventually found here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401629.html
We chose to have a go at the registry edit, but apparently re-installing CS5 will replace the key also, (this option may be tedious for those who have installed lots of plug-ins?).
