Is there a way to Uninstall ACR 5.5 and reinstall 5.4? Bridge doesn't recognize this version.

Hey there. Running Mac os x 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro...
I had to reinstall my whole CS4 Master Creative Suite because a couple of the programs went missing.
First step was uninstalling all the other programs and preferences through Adobe unistaller, then reinstalled and did all the updates. (Photoshop is 11.0.1 now).  All updates finished loading successfully except that it was having trouble with the camera raw 5.4 update. It would say it was installed but when I checked the version in photoshop it would say it is the 5.0.0.178 version. So I updated the camera raw to 5.5 (because I use a Nikon D5000).
5.5 plugin now works fine in Photoshop but in Bridge, the camera raw preferences is "greyed out" and I can't read any NEFs.
Don't know where to go from here. The plugins folder in the root Library shows one plugin in the cs4 folder and that is the 5.5.
When I try to install the 5.4 version again, it reads that it can't install because I am running a newer version.
Thanks for your help. Got some NEF editing to do and this is a major obstacle....

Thanks Jeff. The full path is HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plugins/CS4. It was automatically installed.
Also, the programs went missing because my computer froze and when I rebooted, any programs that were running at the time were no where to be seen, in the apps folder, in spotlight, the trash, etc. It's a mystery to me and I was a IT tech for quite a few years until recent. (Perhaps aliens abducted my programs.) That's the best I could figure out. Even my Entourage went missing and I needed to reinstall this and import an archived folder of mail - lost the most recent email...
I bought this computer new a few months ago and have updated to 10.5.8 by the normal "software update" function.
Purging the folders did not work because Bridge still does not recognize that there is a camera raw plugin installed. The "camera raw preferences" still remains "greyed out" when you click on the Adobe Bridge CS4 tab in Bridge.
Also, when I go to the Adobe uninstaller, I'm not able to uncheck mark the box for the camera raw....
Perhaps there is a link to just the 5.4 plugin (standalone?) that I can exchange for the 5.5? The camera raw folder in Application Support/Adobe has all the latest camera preferences including the D5000 which just was updated in ACR. So maybe just making a switch? Or is that too old school?
Oh yes, created another user account, repaired permissions and any disk issues - yet, same problem.
Thanks again!
Johnny

  • I have to do a complete system restart on a laptop that is corrupt. I have Adobe Creative Suite that I purchased while in school that only has 1 download available. Is there a way I can reboot my laptop and reinstall the programs I bought?

    Is there a way to do this even though my installation disks say there are no more available downloads? I am reinstalling it one the SAME EXACT computer as originally installed.

    Contact Adobe Support thru chat and have them reset youre activation count.  IF there are special circumstances that will prohibit further use of the software they should be able to explain why.

  • Please send instructions for correct way to UNINSTALL Firefox 5.0 and REINSTALL Firefox 3.6.3 and preserve all my cookies and bookmarks. DPGannon at sbcglobal dot net

    Very simple: I do NOT want to use Firefox 5.0. I did not intend for it to be installed on this computer and need to get rid of it and go back to Firefox 3.6.3. Please send instructions on how I can do that without loosing my cookies and bookmarks.
    I have been a fan and supporter of Mozilla and Firefox from the very beginning, but this latest release that appears to be a way to look like Google Chrome (that I hate) has me just about ready to hold my nose and go back to IE.
    What were you guys thinking?????
    Thank you.

    Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

    Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime on Mac ? The present version simply doesn't work. It shows me no "Contacts'. Infact once I click Next after I login, nothing at all happens. The video works fine though, I can see ,myself. But I have used Facetime a couple of times in the past from this same MAC.
    Hence I wanna know if there's a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime. Infact it doesn't even allow me to uninstall Facetime , every time I try it says, 'your Mac OS X needs Facetime'. PLEASE HELP !!!

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • Is there a way to uninstall iOS 8.0 once it's been installed? I didn't realize it would add so much software. Just thought it would update what I already had. Thanks.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Is there any way to uninstall iOS8.3? It's taking up so much space on my phone.

    Is there any way to uninstall iOS 8.3? It's taking up a crazy amount of space on my phone. I keep getting the storage almost full updates, but I have a 32go phone. All my apps and camera Roll oonly use 6gb of storage. Where did the rest of it go?!!

    In order to free up space, you might try restoring the phone as new (but you'll still have 8.3...no way to backtrack on that).  You'll have to offload your photos somewhere before doing this, as they'll be wiped, along with your contacts, messages, emails, etc.  But as a last resort, this should take you back to the storage space you had when you bought it.  Someone with more knowledge may know of a better way to free up space.  As I understand it, 8.3 doesn't take appreciably more space than 8.2, so I doubt that's your problem.

  • Is there a way to uninstall Legacy and Compatibility Content after installing with Additional Content?

    Is there a way to uninstall Legacy and Compatibility Content after installing with Additional Content?

    Hey Antonio,
    That's a good suggestion, and it's something that we're already planning on addressing in the next release, probably via a service that you can use to view information about patches and notifications -- not only the ones that were known at the time that you installed, but also ones that might have come into existence since then.
    In case you're still looking for the link to that CVI 2009 notification, you can find it here.
    By the way, my world cup sympathies to you -- your guys were robbed.

    If you want to share albums on dropbox or similar web services, set the album in your custom order and use the export command to a temporary folder on your computer. To keep the sort order, use the option to rename with a common starting text string plus an order number. Since you'll upload those files to Internet, also use the resizing feature to export in a reasonable size, not too big for uploading/downloading, and not too small if you want your relatives to able to print and not only to view.
    So, you'll get a folder ready to upload and share via Dropbox or another Web service.

    Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
    Finale 2007: $500
    Sibelius 4: $500
    Jam Packs: $400
    Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
    PowerBook: $1700
    Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
    Logic Pro 7: Oy!
    As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
    Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

    Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

    None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.

  • Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.
