Removing Old Adobe Files?

After restoring a backup onto a new computer, I transferred a bunch of adobe files onto my new computer but photoshop did not work. I finally got it installed by downloading a trial and putting in my serial number, but it seems that a lot of these old adobe files were not affected by the install (when I click get info, it says it was modified a while ago)
Should I delete all traces of adobe and then try installing again to be sure I have no excess files? Or are these necessary? I'm on a mac, running mavericks.

It can't hurt to make sure you have a full, fresh install. 
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If you do choose to clean up via the above tool, I'd suggest deactivating it first via the Help - Deactivate menu.

  • How to remove old backup files from time machine? Lion OSx

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering how to efficiently and safely remove the old backup files from time machine? I tried once with command, but it damaged my extra-disk... Does Lion OSx have fixed that?
    Many thanks
    Hong

    Blue-
    Time Machine will automatically delete back-ups as the need for space arises. If you want to delete a certain file (application, document, whatever) and have it gone for good you can do that as well.
    The best place on the web for information about Time Machine is...

  • Is it Ok to remove old .plist files remaining from deleted software?

    Hi Folks,
    I'd appreciate some thoughts from some of you experts here.
    I''m doing some house cleaning of my OSX Mountain Lion and have found some old .plist files in my preferences folder, that remain after the software was removed long ago. For Example, I found some old Color Munki files remaining from when I tried a Color Munki unit for a week or so and sent it back, unstalling alll of its associated software.
    Any harm in throwing these in the trash and emptying it?
    And I guess on a more general basis can old files left over from deleted software be removed as well?
    Many thanks

    Installing 3rd party apps can affect permissions on system files and folders. Running Repair permissions ensures all system files permissions are set to what they should be as listed in the BOM, stored in Library/Receipts.
    If you can provide me one argument as to why that isn't worth doing, I might let you keep that chicken's head...

  • Can you remove Old Backup files from Time Machine sooner?

    So I'm aware that the default settings state that Time Machine will start to delete old backup files from your saved destination once that destination starts to approach full storage capacity. But what if you are not looking to fill up most of your storage capacity with Time Machine backups? Is there a way where you can cut the delete threshold in half and have Time Machine delete old backup files sooner rather than later?

    See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

  • Remove old Adobe Add-ons for PS CC, CS6

    Keep geting "Uinstalling The Add-on Lorem Ipsum Generator failed Generator for Photoshop CC, CS6., please try again.
    I don't want it installed, since it for an old version of Photoshop and i only have the latest version installed (Photoshop 2014 CC).
    Tried to install it and uninstall it from https://creative.adobe.com/addons.  To make the message go away !
    The Add-on is not showing up in Adobe Extension Manager CC either.
    Is there any way to remove this message ?
    PS:
    This is a cleaned installed Macbook pro with Yosemite 10.10.1 and only latest version of all programs for Adobe Creative Cloud

    First I've ever heard of that happening, wow.
    Your display driver seems up to date, so no problem there.
    Do you have anything special configured in your nVidia driver panel that might partition your desktop, or some 3rd party software installed that controls some aspect of your desktop (e.g., StarDock Fences)?
    Some really basic things to try (sorry they're blunt)...
    Reboot
    Reset Photoshop preferences
    Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
    Check for an even more recent (or slightly older) display driver update from nVidia.com.
    Please follow up here when you do find out what's wrong.  I'd love to know what could cause a system to report such a small desktop size metric.

  • I suddenly cannot open my old Adobe files or Photoshop or Illustrator and I am using OS Mountain Lion. Why?

    I am suddenly unable to open my Adobe software and files including Pkotoshop and Illustrator. Any ideas why?

    As I asked back in May:
    What happens when you try?
    What changes have you made recently?
    How have you tried to correct the problem? With what result?
    Now, that second question should be read as what changes had you just made when you noticed the problem, but you probably don't remember any longer. Was that about the time you installed Mountain Lion?
    If you are using special plugins or drivers for the Wacom tablet, you may need to get updated versions for ML compatibility. The updated plugins might need a more recent version of the Adobe software.

  • Removing old CS files

    We recently upgraded from CS1 to CS2. Now my applications folder contains both CS and CS2 folders for each application. Can I remove the CS folders without any consequences?

    Yes. But to double check put the CS folder in the trash - don't empty it yet. Now run all your CS2 programs. If all runs well empty the trash.

  • IDVD8 to iDVD6 - Once remove old app files (themes) will I lose anthing?

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

  • BerkeleyDB not cleaning up old db files

    Good morning.
    We've been noticing a scenario where BerkeleyDB is retaining (not removing) old db files. These files are well outside the largest window for data retention (over a month old, where the longest window for data is 7 days). There should be no active data in these files. As they are starting to take up signifcant disk space, I'd like to investigate possible methods for manually removing them.
    Note that modifications have been made to the pruning & cleaner thread settings and they are now keeping up with active data. I'm primarily concerned with removal of these old, inactive files.
    As we see it, there's a few options.
    1. Manually rm the files which are known to be outside the longest window
    2. The old files can't be cleaned up by the cleaning/pruning threads for some reason, but there is a utility which can clean them up which we don't know about?
    3. The old files can't be cleaned up by the cleaning/pruning thread, there is no utility, and we actually will need Oracle to investigate.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks!

    I'm also having this problem. I'm using Flash Builder 4.6, AIR 3.4 and I've made a DLL (e.g. ExtensionDll.dll) which needs to call functions in another DLL (e.g. DllUsedByExtensionDll.dll) . I've made sure my ANE is working with the ExtensionDll.dll already, so there are no issues with my actionscript code or my ANE packaging or my DLL compilation. However, once I start calling functions from the other DLL, it starts throwing me Error #3500. Even if I call this function (e.g. abc()) in ExtensionDll.dll, but I never actually use the function from actionscript, and I call another function (e.g. def()) from actionscript, the Error #3500 still appears, so it does not seem to depened on the whether the code is used or not.
    It's similar to this problem.

    Does anyone have a solution or at least a way to debug this?

  • Upgraded to C4, removed C3 - now can't open old C3 files with C4

    Hi,
    I have been using demo version of C4 and upgraded today.
    My system automatically opened C4 files with C3 first of all so decided to remove C3 from my sytem.
    Now i can't open any of my old C3 files in C4.  what heppens is C4 says it needs to reformat the project so it can be used in C4 as expected.  The system goes away and does it stuff but no differnt file is produced. I try to open the original C3 file and have to go round same loop again with no success.
    Please Help as i can't do any work until i can open files.
    Thank you, Ellen

    Hi Julie
    The post you replied to was apparently spam. I've deleted the post and reported the person that posted it.
    If you are still seeing issues, please report this to Adobe as a possible bug. (Link is in my sig)
