Remove cs3 bridge cache after installing cs5

I removed cs3 including bridge and installed cs5 and find that the cs3 bridge cache and associated files are still in my hard drive occupying 6.5GB of space. Can I remove this and how?

CS3 and CS5 uses different cache data bases, so you can delete them using the CS3 purge cache in preferences. If you have uninstalled CS2 just delete the files.

Removing CS3 application folders after installing CS4 upgrade

I just upgraded to CS4 on my Mac and wanted to know if it's safe to remove CS3 folders that appear in the "Applications" folder. I won't need multiple versions of the software taking up space on my system, so is it safe to just toss the folders in the Trash?

It would be wise to keep CS3 until you are familiar with CS4. If you uninstall CS3 then run into a problem with the new way things work in CS4, you will need to uninstall CS4 to reinstall CS3 then reinstall CS4.

Remove CS4 after installing CS5

Hi...
Just bought CS5 Design Premium upgrade (from CS4). While waiting for CS5 to arrive, I downloaded the trial version of CS4. This did NOT overwrite CS4. When I receive CS5, I plan on just putting the serial number in the trial version. That will leave CS4 on my computer.
2 questions...
1. Can I delete CS4 (after installing CS5) using add/remove without messing up the CS5 installation?
2. If I remove the trial version and install CS5 when I receive it, will it automatically remove/overwrite CS4?
Thanks for your help...

1. Yes, but there's no good reason to do so.
2. No, the trial is identical to purchased version. Just enter your serial number and you should be good to go.

I am using the DSGN CS4 CT now upgrade to DSGN CS5.5 MAC UPG EPA PROMO APAC CS4 (After installed CS5

I am using the DSGN CS4 CT now upgrade to box set DSGN CS5.5 MAC UPG EPA PROMO APAC CS4 (After installed CS5.5 s/n works but the old one CS4 s/n not work) Pls let me know the solution sooner.

So your CS4 serial number is not accepted when you try to enter it as a qualifying version?

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5 upgrade

Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 after installing a new copy of CS5 upgrade? For the sake of not eating up storage space? Or does CS5 depend on files CS3 has already in place? I'd like to get Bridge CS3 off my computer since Bridge CS5 is now installed. And CS3 is not appearing in the Add/Remove dialog in Control Panel (Win XP Pro)

Please read this and this. In short: Attempting to remove older versions after the fact is ill advised. It's calling for trouble, especailyl with the fragile CS3 installers. Read the articles and obey proper procedures. Otherwise jsut leave the old version in place.

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5.5?

I have previously installed CS5.5 standard onto my laptop and retained CS3 until I was proficient. What is the best procedure to now uninstall CS3 and free up some HDD space? Win7 64 bit OS. Do I need to deactivate CS3 or will this stop the newer software from running?

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the quick response. I am a CS novice so your help is appreciated. Do I need to deactivate both CS3 & CS5.5 before I uninstall? If so, are there any codes I should write down to allow me to reinstall and reactivate CS5.5? I have the Upgrade Version of CS5.5 Design Standard.

Uninstalling Adobe Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Bridge CC

I got all of my Adobe Applications on my MacBook Air through the new Adobe Cloud service. At that time, all of the applications were Adobe CS6. When I saw that Adobe Bridge CC was available, I downloaded it immediately. I had been having problems with Adobe Bridge CS6 working with my Adobe Photoshop CS6. After installing Adobe Bridge CC, I did not find the uninstaller application for Adobe Bridge CS6. I found two copies of the uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CC. Where can I get a copy of the uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CS6 for Mac?

Vizzpat there is no separate uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CS6. Adobe Bridge CS6 is installed by several applications. When those applications have all been removed then Bridge CS6 will be removed as well.
In general you can locate the uninstallers for Mac OS in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. You can also find additional information regarding installing and removing applications at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

Problem uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5 - help!

I installed CS5 without a hitch.
I then tried to uninstall CS4. I opened Photoshop and chose Help/Deactivate, taking care to tick the serial number box too.
After the uninstall procedure, I got an message that it had completed but with errors.
In Control Panel/Programs, CS4 is still listed, but now showing only 3.77Mb instead of the 300Mb+ that it was.
I then downloaded Adobe Support Advisor and ran it. The diagnosis directed me to this Knowledge Base Article.......
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403891.html#ionComHeading
1. Can I get rid of what remains of CS4 in my Control Panel?
2. Will it affect my system in any way?
3. Will it affect CS5 in any way?
I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past. Not a happy bunny at all!
Thanks.
D.
ps. I couldn't not insert the above link by right clicking and choosing insert link - had to type it by hand. But, the kb number (403891) is definitely correct.

I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past.
...but then you probably obeyed the correct order in the first place. Anyway, there is no harm in leaving the remnants in place. you can of course make them disappear by removing the relevant registry key(s), but how important that little cosmetic surgery is to you, is for you to decide.

Problem reinstalling FB4 premium after installing CS5 MC on windows 7 64-bit

Hello,
I was hoping that I could get some help with an issue -- I filed a technical request (ticket) with Adobe but also wanted to reach out here.
Background:
I installed FB4 Premium in March, and had no issues with the download or install -- everyhting had been working fine. Yesterday I installed CS5 MC and in the process of installing it over-wrote the debug versions of flash player that come in FB4 premium with standard flash player. Naturally,that won't work with FB4 so I needed to find a way to reinstall the debug version of flash player plug-in and active x. After trying unsuccessfully for while to do so, I decided it would just be easier to uninstall and reinstall the FB4 download which I still had on my machine, as this comes with the debug players I need. Big mistake. Now I can't get FB4 to reinstall. I am getting the following error messages while running the install set-up (see uploaded image of error message below). Any thoughts at all on how I can resolve this? I did try several reboots, new installs and even re-downlaoded FB4 again from the Adobe store. It appears the presecne of MC5 has caused this somehow?? I run windows 7 64-bit pro. By the way, I did figure out (too late) the way to reinstall the debug flash player -- I first needed to run a script to delete the existing flash player rather than just uninstall it; if anyone needs the script or help on that let me know.
hanks very much -- this has me stumped.
Bob

Hello Chris,
Thank you very much for this insight. It worked. Now I just have a few issues around getting a shortcut for FB4 on the desktop and fixing the FB4 app icon (which now shows up as blank). But it is running as FB4 premium -- Thank you so much!! I have also sent an email to the Adobe engineers working on this case.
I realized that my big mistake was thinking that I needed to reinstall FB4 premium standalone to get FB4 premium to work -- but this was not possible (due to how CS5 installer works) and not needed (because CS5 has all of the code needed to run FB4 premium). The answer (as you described) was simply to go abck to the CS5 installer let it install FB4. While CS5 would initially install FB4 as standard, the serial number "games" described here and in other posts would allow me to upgrade to to FB4 premium. It now works as FB4 premium!
Thank you Chris,
Bob Avena

CS3 Bridge Cache Best Practices

I am using CS3 Bridge Version 2.1.1.9 and have a question(s) about the cache.
(System specs: Vista 64bit SP1, CPU: Quad9550, Ram: 4GB, Video: 9800GT)
When and why should I purge the cache?
Whenever I re-enter Bridge and go back to a recent folder of images, the spinning "pizza wheel" reappears for a few seconds and seems to refresh the thumbnails. Why could it not do this once and keep the refreshed thumbnails?
By the way, I just recently switched the Preference from High Quality to Quick Thumbnails and that change gave me a huge boost in speed. The High Quality thumbnails were incredibly SLOW which once again begs the question just above, why does it not do it once?
Thanks
Jim Calvert

As I mentioned in post #4 my thumbnails stay for several weeks (I use quick thumbs).
I have a dedicated scratch partition of 40 gigs (shared with photoshop). My Bridge catch was 14 gigs this morning, and I elected to compact thumbnails and that process reduced cache down to 9 gigs. Compacting eliminates cached items that no longer are linked to anything. Folders that had not been visited for at least a week still had the thumbnails there, so no rebuilding. I use only central cache (do not export to folders).
The point of this is how big is your cache? Does it have to be overwritten to make space for other activity? The only other thing I can think of is that if you are using a lot of raw files it has a seperate cache. I really do not understand this, or what purpose it serves. But under edit/Camera Raw Preferences there is a box to set location and size of camera raw cache. Default is 1 gig, and it has been recommended by some that this should be increased to 4 to 10 gigs, depending on you use of ACR and file sizes.
My thumbs load instantly (unless they have to be rebuilt). I have between 400-800 pictures in a folder.
I am using CS3.

DW CS3 preview issue after installing Vista SP2

I have DW CS3 installed on my desktop and laptop computers. One computer uses vista64 and the other vista32. After installing vista service pack 2, I now have the following issue previewing PHP pages under Apache: All browsers give me a "cannot display the webpage" error UNLESS I am connected to some kind of network--it could be the internet or my peer-to-peer network. My destop computer is attached to a printer via RJ45 cable. If the printer is turned on, I can preview webpages in DW. If the printer is turned off, I cannot! Or, if I am connected to the internet through my wireless internet card, I can preview pages, otherwise, not.
Previous to installing SP2, I was able to preview pages on both computers without the need to be connected to a network, so I am pretty sure that SP2 is involved in this new issue.
When Apache and MySQL start up in the XAMPP control panel, there are no errors, and I can go into PHPMyAdmin just fine.
Has anyone else run into this? Any thoughts?

I'm just following up here. I have not solved the issue, but I did figure out that the problem isn't with vista service pack 2 but with Kaspersky anti-virus 2009.

Uninstalling old CS2 after installing CS5.5 on MAC

Can you tell me if it is safe to uninstall an old version of CS2 after successfuly installing cs5.5 or did the cs5.5 build off of my CS2?

You can uninstall it although it may cause problems with your file associations.

Removing CS3 bridge, keeping CS4 Bridge...

I am cleaning out previous version of CS3 suite from a mac. However I've had some issues that I wondered if anyone has a solution to.
When running CS3 Bridge, images there are not in CS4 Bridge. There is no export feature I know of (is there?). How do I get everything that is in CS3 Bridge to CS4 to show up before I delete CS3 apps ? (this macbook pro I am using was loaded from CS2 days up to CS4...I have inherited it at work and need to make room but still keep images intact, plus I never used Bridge before so any noob help is appreciated)

Bridge only creates preview thumbs for its own cache library and not the
original files, they keep untouched in the same folders as you have them now
on your system.
You can safely uninstall CS3 without losing images. However you will need to
cache the images again when opening CS4 but that is only taking some time.
You will need to recreate new workspaces for PS and Bridge and also set the
preferences again to your wishes but that is only once. Keep in mind that
actions and brushes that you have created or loaded on your CS3 app don't
copy automatically. Best you save them from PS CS3 first in a folder you can
easily access and in CS4 load them again from that folder.
For exact location for prefs in CS3 and CS4 see those knowledge base
