Install errors with many 2014 apps and can we safely uninstall previous versions post-installation of the new releases?

I'm getting errors for several CC 2014 applications. The CC desktop says "Installation Failed", and yet some have actually been installed despite the failed message.
I also want to know if we can/should uninstall the old versions (CC and CC 64-bit) before (or after?) updating, because rather than upgrading the applications (which would have been nice), it just installs alongside them....so now I have 3 versions of Illustrator, 3 versions of PS, etc. I don't want all these versions, only the latest. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions (CC and CC 64) post-failed-installation of 2014, or should I just uninstall all and reinstall?
Thanks in advance.

Can I safely uninstall previous versions? Move licence to new PC?

I have PS going back to PS5 and all subsequent upgrade versions to CS5. Can I uninstall old versions through add and remove?
Also what is the procedure for moving to a new PC - regarding licencing? Do I have to load every version on the new PC till I get to CS5?
Thanks
John

Some people have had problems uninstalling old versions. They tend to take file associations with them, leaving "stuck" registry keys, so that you can no longer associate file types to open in Photoshop.
The way to avoid that is to uninstall everything in inverse version order, then reinstall the latest. Yes, it's a pain.
If you don't plan to use it on the old machine anymore, remember to deactivate. You're allowed two activated installations at the same time, provided you're the only user, but you may need the second activation later.
When you install an upgrade the installer will ask for the serial number of a qualifying version, if it doesn' find one on your HD. Put in the serial for the previous upgrade and go. You don't need them all, the installer is perfectly happy with the last one, even if that is in itself an upgrade.

My iPod touch 5th Gen iOS 8.1 won't turn on, charge and CONNECT TO iTUNES. Maybe this is because of the new release ios 8.1 where after the update it went recovery mode then i didn't restore, i set up a new ipod. What's wrong? Is ths bcoz of ios 8.1?

How do you do that

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am just a computer and internet user, if you can't imagine what that's means, then I need to use and promote other web browsers.
I am really mad about the update, who is worthless!
sorry !
think about your reputation and do fast better.
sorry for my poor English

Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

Download/Install Error with Creative Cloud App

I have Windows 7... I have been a Creative Cloud member since the beginning... I know what I am doing. Anyways... suddenly, the Creative Cloud app that keeps track of your apps and updating them, etc. is jacked up. As far as I can tell, nothing changed on my end... perhaps Creative Cloud updated itself and caught a bug? When you go to the Apps tab, it says, "Download error, the Creative Cloud installation is no longer functioning, please uninstall and download again..." which I did twice now... rebootted and all that good stuff... the other tabs work - ie. Home, Assets and Community... and yes, I am signed in properly and have an active account. This isn't the first time this app has been a problem... Adobe has seemed to have issues with this app for awhile now - off and on... and from what I can see in the various forums, it's not just me with these issues.

WebWorxTech which error are you currently experiencing? Is it only a download error or are you still prompted to uninstall? If you are prompted to uninstall then please see Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.
If you are continuing to receive download errors then please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

Can i download previous versions of firefox? the new version does not allow me to use my VPN so i have had to uninstall firefox and use internet explorer instead (ugh!)

after i downloaded firefox 4.o.1 i have no longer been able to use my VPN which i need frequently for work. it worked fine with the previous version of firefox.

Can you describe in a little more detail which part isn't working? For example, is the VPN not starting up when you start Firefox, or is Firefox not able to use the VPN tunnel?
If we can't solve it, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Can I safely uninstall older versions of creative cloud

since the "2014" update I now have the older version and new versions installed onto my computer. I am "space" limited and wanted to know if I can uninstall the older versions safely?

Terrie yes you are welcome to uninstall the previous version. You can find more details on how to uninstall at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

After upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 there is no way to proceed to a website with an invalid security certificate. How do you proceed to these websites in the new release? The fault page only has a button that says "Try again."

Using Firefox 10.0.2 for Mac.
In trying to proceed to various websites (corporate such as dlnet.delta.com (expired certificate), government such as https://www.homeport.navy.mil/links/owa-navy-links/ ) with "invalid" security certificates, Firefox 10.0.2 does not have a button on the error page to continue on to the website. How can you do this using Firefox 10.0.2? I have not found any settings in Firefox preferences to enable this capability either.
Thx.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can get beta 3 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b3/win32/
Switching to earlier betas is not recommended . If add-on compatibility is important to you, you should consider using the latest release version (3.6.8) instead of betas.

What is MyPhotobook and can I safely uninstall it?

Hi,
I did a search for this program and from what I can see it allows you to make a real book from your favourite books, as I don't intend to do this is it safe to uninstall it to free up more space on my hard drive for programs I do want? Don't want to uninstall it if by any chance it's connected to something else that is necessary but can find very little information on exactly what it is and how it's linked to other programs if it is.
Can anybody help me?
Debbie

Thanks for that Ivan as I rarely uninstall pre-installed programs for fear it will be connected to something else but from what I could see that is pretty useless program unless you have lots of money and want to make family or friends photo albums.

It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases.

It says "this device is already associated with another apple ID" and it will not download previous purchases. This is a new iPad 4 as my last iPad 4 was stolen. How can I fix this issue, can I fix this issue?

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset and Erase all Content
This returns the iPad to its original state then setup the iPad as new.

Airport Utility `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1

Hi folks
I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) and cannot get the Airport Utility to run at all. [5.5.3] The application icon flickers as though it is about to launch and then nothing happens.
I have tried other 5.x downloads and they all fail because I am running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Doing a standard Software Update or using a download of 6.x from the Apple Support site, the installer comes up with an `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1, having gotten through the complete process and looking like they were `successful'.
It's the only time in two years and many updates later that i have come across this issue, so I am unsure how to start to tackle it.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Backup your files and try this:
1. Reboot from recovery partition (or as in my case USB recovery drive)
2. Select Re-install Mac OS X
3. Allow the process to run through multiple restarts
4. When reinstall process is complete run software update (side note, my software update would not launch as long as my USB recovery stick was plugged in, weird)
5. Run all updates saving the Airport Utility 6.0 until last.
6. Install the airport utility from software update.

I use CS5 and all of a sudden I am getting a notification that says there is an error with my icons. It's telling me to contact support or reinstall. The problem is I don't know where my disks are to re-install. Any suggestions?

doodlebug,
Am I just out of luck until I find those?
You may try Adobe Support (phone),
http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
and talk to them about your registration, but I am unsure whether they can help you with anything pre CC (There was a Customer Care option with chat which seems to have stopped working).
If you are still out of luck, please report back, and I will try to ask someone to find the right someone to help you.

I am getting the PowerPC applications are no longer supported error, so I downloaded Libreoffice and can not find it on my hard drive anywhere. It did say install to Applications but it's not there. How do I find it and can I put it in my dock?
