Removing older versions of CS

I have all the older versions of CS still on my computer. Can I delete them? I do not have access to the discs for all of them or the downloads anymore. I want to make sure CS5 works without all the older versions on my computer. thanks

buy another drive then image your current drive, this is a great free program to do it,

you can do it whilst your current os in on as well.
then wipe the drive and start over. so if you do need those old versions you can always move the image back.

  • Trying to down load itunes 10.4 but it gave an error couldnt remove older version of bonjour... any ideas

    Got a message while down loading Itunes 10.4... couldn't remove older version of bonjour??

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13.  Using a SSD which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

    Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13.  Using a Solid State Drive which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

    Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
    Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Cannot remove older version of Apple Update to reinstall Itunes, tried control panel, no help, what do I do

    Message: "Cannot remove older version of Apple Update" when trying to reinstall Itunes. Tried using add remove programs in control panel, no help. Tried installing new quicktime, same message -- what do I do to get Itunes working again on my computer, using Windows xp

    I'm glad I put a smile on your face Stuff like this can drive me nuts.
    As I went to bed last night, I thought the same thing as you, to try a system restore. Otherwise, to answer the rest of your question, in XP, the location of the Update is in your Program Files/Apple Software Update.
    To find the hidden files that may be stopping you from disabling the updater, and doing a clean install, go to:
    My Computer, and on the Menu bar, click Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders/click Apply/OK then double click on your main drive (C:)  then Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/ and delete the Apple computer folder with it iTunes and Preferences.
    Also in that previous views Local Settings/Application Data/Apple (Update Software)and also Apple Computer/iTunes.
    Go back to Documents and Settings (again from C: drive mode) click on All Users/Application Data/Apple and if you open up Installer Cache, you will also see that it has an Apple Updater in it (unless it was uninstalled on the original uninstall). Also from that Application Data window, you will see Apple Computer Folder which has previous iTunes info that needs to be deleted. Some of these folders may be gone, but at least you can check to see, to make sure.
    Here is a link from another post, to confirm or help clear up any of my paths/solutions.
    When you've done all that, restart your PC, and I would run CCleaner  (the free version links are just below the Buy and Download button) just to clean things up, and try your re-install.
    Hope I didn't overwhelm you.

  • Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

    Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

    I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
    I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
    I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
    Hope this works for you.
    Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
    Apple - Are you listening?

  • Should I remove older version s of firefox when newer versions have been uploaded

    I am not aware of a problem , I am simply trying to understand the revisions and whether I need to keep older versions in order to run the newer firefox

    It's not necessary to uninstall anything especially since you aren't using a 4beta version. And there are some serious risks to losing important data that you store if you don't remove older versions very carefully.
    If you decide that you don't like 4.0 you can easily go backwards & reinstall 3.6 without any problems (and without risk of losing data).
    One point though: if you are a bookmark fiend like me, it's a really good idea to back up your bookmarks before you make''' any''' changes to firefox. I'm so obsessive that I back them up constantly (and I don't rely on FF's automatic bookmark-backup process), but that's just me being paranoid from learning the very hard way a long time ago.

  • Can not remove older version on windows 7 PC?

    How do I remove an older version of iTunes on my windows 7 PC? I can not install iTunes unless I do this? Thanx, Dan.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Cannot remove older version/won't install

    So I update iTunes because a new version is available and then I restart like it always asks me to. But when I try to open iTunes after restarting, "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". So I go to itunes.com and try to install the newest version again. After the installation starts, though, an error message comes up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
    When I try to uninstall, it gives me the same error message and then says "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed."
    I've never had this problem before so I have no idea what's going on. I search for the file 'iTunes.msi' on my computer, found one and put that path in the box but it still gives me the same error message. Any suggestions?

    Ok I'll give you my cleanup instructions for itunes. You need to follow these steps exactly and carefully. If you have any questions about anything then please post before doing it.
    1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software. If you can't uninstall use the MSI clean utility.
    2. Reboot your PC
    3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
    4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
    5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
    6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
    a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
    b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
    Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
    Leave the files if you have doubt about deleting the files.
    7. (OPTIONAL) Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
    8. Reboot your PC.
    9. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
    If you launch the MSI Cleanup utility it will list applications in the window. Select the one you want to remove and click ok. This will remove the msi information from your pc. You still need to do the delete steps in the Program Files folder for ipod, itunes and quicktime cause the cleanup utility won't do this.
    Again if you have any questions just post back.

  • How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows

    According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
    Anybody know about this?

    If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
    To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.

  • Firefox was hanging up, I uninstalled and downloaded firefox 18. It will not load, says I have to remove older versions which I have done several times

    I can't load firefox 18. It asks if I want to uinstall older version if you answer no it dumps you out. If you answer yes it reboots and nothing changes

    Please turn off the computer and turn it back on to see if it helps.
    Also please try a clean profile.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Installing iTunes 10.3 and removing older version of Bonjour error
