Is there a way to install Photoshop without all the crap?

I noticed when installing the Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial, even if you check only the bare minimum number of checkboxes, it will still install tons of...crap.
e.g. Bridge, Camera Raw, Camera Raw Profile, Dynamic Link Media Server (seriously, does this sound like something anyone would want installed on their computer?), Extend Script Toolkit, Switchboard, etc.
Is there anyway to uninstall all that stuff?

Whoa man, calm down; relax. Why is this a most unfortunate first post? It's a serious and legitmate question. You're taking it as if I asked it to offend people.
I do use Photoshop for purposes that Illustrator might be better suited for, but that's my decision; and anyways, I'm more familiar with Photoshop.
The reason I dislike these certain parts is because I don't like having uncessary stuff installed on my computer, and I certainly don't want unecessary stuff running at start-up
...Which is exactly why I did infact disable those start-up entries and manually delete the stuff mentioned — namely, Bridge, Dynamic Link Media Server, etc. — from "Program Files" etc. And no, I did not break Photoshop or anything else (if it does break, you will be the first to know); so yes, I know perfectly well what I'm doing. I don't see how you managed to assume otherwise based off my first post.
So I asked this question in the first place because I was genuinely wondering if there was a more official way to remove that stuff (as opposed to manually deleting them). Obviously now I know there isn't, but would it have been so terrible if there was? It wouldn't hurt anyone (certainly not you), but people who didn't want something called "Dynamic Link Media Server" installed on their computer would only benefit. Obviously that's not happening anytime soon, but hey, if I knew that, I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
Thank you for your insightful and not-at-all-condescending response.

  • Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

    I  want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the  "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i  cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without  all the bloat?

    Yes and no.  Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers.  That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards.  In the process, the code is minimized a bit.  Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

  • Is there a way to install "apps" without using the store? (No Internet, intentionally)

    We have an industrial control system that is
    purposely cut off from the Internet for security purposes.  We want to install the RDP app on tablets.  Is there  way to do this without an Internet connection?  Has MS even considered such a scenario?

    Hi,
    We need the internet connection to install Store app, this is designed by default.
    Since we need internet to logon with the Microsoft account and can't download the offline installer as desktop app from Windows Store.

  • I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
    If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
    and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

  • HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    Hi, jbgatch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic.  Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed.  Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well.  Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below.  If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed.  Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

    I want to download an app, but i can't because i have forgotten my security questions.  Is there a way to change them without needing the old ones?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases

  • Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    While it is not possible to directly print your iTunes account purchase history within the iTunes Store, you can take a screnshot of your purchase history on your computer, and then print that screenshot.
    The following article explains how to review your purchase history:

  • Is there a way to install X11 without re-installing OSX?

    I cannot find a way of installing X11 without re-installing OSX.
    I've looked on the cd for the installer but with no luck.
    The X11 installer isn't located in the bundled software installer and X11 will not install with the X11 SDK.
    The retail verson of tiger has an optional istall on the disk but it will not work with intel macs. And the X11 download from apple will not work with Tiger (not even in Rosetta).
    I've found the X11 install option when I restart my MacBook with the install DVD inside and am asked to reinstall Tiger. This doesnt do me any good because i dont want to do a fresh install of tiger just to get X11.
    Does anyone know a way around this issue?
    Please Help!
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    On the intel Tiger DVD there is no additional software or other software folers or packages. There is:
    Install Bundled Software (which does not contain X11)
    Install OSX and Bundled Software (which requires you to reinstall OSX to Install X11)
    Xcode Tools Folder (which contains Xcode and Xcode extras but no X11 installer)
    And documentation PDFs

  • Is there a way to import tracks without using the mouse in Logic Pro?

    From the user manual:
    You can import existing audio recordings by simply dragging them from the Media area, shown at the right of the Arrange window.
    My question is: is there a way to do this without dragging it with a mouse? I'd like to use a shortcut to open a browse folder and select a file. The reason for this is that I am nearly blind and I can't use my mouse for dragging because I can't see it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Can't see the mouse pointer.. even if you increase it's size using the Accessibilites features in OS X's System preferences...?

  • Is there a way to install Bootcamp without purchasing a Windows disc?

    I understand that to install Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro (15"), I need a Windows 7 installer disc. I am happy to purchase this if absolutely necessary, but it seems silly to buy Windows 7 all over again when I have it running on another laptop I own. Is there any way to somehow make my own installer disc from my own version of Windows 7 instead of buying a completely seperate copy just for use on Mac? Thanks

    Windows license is an MS issue, not a Bootcamp issue.  MS says "one install per license".
    To install in Bootcamp, you need a copy of Windows install with *ALL* drivers, be it a full (install as often as you wish) or OEM/"System Builder" (install once, but beg permission to install on another system).  Windows disk that came with your old Dell or HP or Gateway only has drivers for that system.

  • Is there a way to erase data without reinstalling the system?

    Hi
    I have an old PowerMac G5 that I want to sell. I want to erase the hard drive, but I no longer have the system disks. Is there any way to erase the data without reinstalling the system?

    Hi-
    You could set up a new user (Administration) account, and then delete the old user account that has data related to it.
    Once that is done, if you want a more secure elimination of the data (so it cannot be scavenged) clone the drive to a second drive, and then you can erase and write zeros to the first drive.
    Reclone the cloned version back, and you should have a very clean, "fresh" system drive.
    Use SuperDuper! for the cloning.
    Mind you, I haven't tried that process, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
    Keep a copy of the system drive (backup), just in case......
