Safe to uninstall older versions ?

I have installed Photoshop CS originally then upgraded to CS2 and CS3 when they came out. I know this is a silly question, but is it safe for me to uninstall CS and CS2 ? I am running out of space on my powerbook (and yes, I have that many applications that I do run out of space)
Thanks

those apps don't take up that much space, if clearing those two apps makes that big a difference then your drive is too small. You need to remove document files or get a bigger hard drive. CS3 does not come with Imageready so if you use that app leave CS2 on your machine, as you will need to uninstall CS3 before you can reinstall CS2.

  • Is it safe to uninstall older versions of Adobe Acrobat?

    It is safe to remove older versions of Adobe Acrobat?  I currently have:
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof
    Adobe Acrobat X Standard
    Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
    The reason I ask is I keep getting Update Adobe Acrobat X and it error's off.  So, is it safe to remove 8 and X?
    Thanks!

    yes, each installation is independent of the others.  in addition, there are known issues when trying to use some of the older acrobat versions together like you're doing.

  • Safe to uninstall older versions of PS?

    Years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS4 to CS6. Is it safe to uninstall CS4? In the old days an upgrade updated your existing software. Now it appears the upgrade is really a whole different install of the software. If for some reason I have to reinstall CS6, would I need to reinstall CS4 first? Thxs.

    Looks like there ended up being a problem after I uninstalled PS CS4. This box up box appears when I start PS CS6.
    Now I can click out of it and still use CS6. But this box always pops up on start up. If there are files or functions missing I haven't discovered the problem yet. I have Time Machine hooked up to an external drive. Can I use that to undo the uninstall of CS4?

    Akeenleyside,
    Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5?  I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.

  • Uninstall older versions of Flash Player?

    I just installed the latest update for Flash Player...can I now uninstall older versions?

    Yes, you can.
    It is best to use the uninstaller from Adobe. It is on this page:
    http://http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Follow the instructions.
    Because I am having problems with getting Flash Player that works on my pc, I have saved the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to my desktop. It is helpful not having to go back to the Adobe page to get it when I need it.
    After uninstalling old versions of Flash Player, remember to check that the new version you keep is installed correcly and working properly, go to the Adobe "Find Version" page and follow the instructions there.
    Here:

    Hope this helps.

  • HT1349 I cannot uninstall older version of bonjour

    I cannot uninstall older version of bonjour and apple updates.  Each time I press uninstall it states that I need a cd-rom which i do not have.  This is driving me crazy. Any help out there.

    +It says it can't find QuickTime.msi+
    Okay, if you're getting that message in addition to the the other messages, try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Does an install go through properly now?

    i downloaded reader 11.3 ,do i need to uninstall older versions ?

    If you have Reader 10.x or 11.x installed, there is no need to uninstall.  Older, or much older versions should be uninstalled before installing a much newer version.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How do you uninstall older versions of labview

    How do you uninstall older versions of labview and all their components, registries etc?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

  • Firefox hangs/crashes wont' load; i've uninstalled/reinstalled; safe mode also; older version also; it used to work

    Firefox was working prior to updating to version 17. Then when I click it, it won't start. I tried to start in Safe Mode, also Reset Mode. I tried to uninstall version 17, and do a clean install. Also, I cannot run an older version of Firefox since there is something wrong with my System Restore which isn't keeping a copy. I have been doing things for sometime now. The addons don't seem to be the problem meaning it will start briefly once or twice, but it won't keep working. It just says to start in Safe Mode or Reset, it works once, then same problem reappears. Thanks. also, i've looked at the Profiles, but when I do, it also has a problem starting so I can't create a new profile. I've also tried running Firefox 14. Same thing. Everything is working same way. Any help is badly needed? I have also tried to run malware software. I can't do the memtest. Its too hard for me to try, but I don't think it's my memory. I stopped using FF since it's taken so long to try to fix. I don't won't to do a complete restore of my computer, but it sounds like my only option. What could possibly be wrong? Do I need to show you a HIjack this file. Thanks.

  • Can I uninstall older versions of CS?

    I have a ton of adobe software taking up disc space. I have upgraded from CS to CS2 to CS3. I would like to uninstall CS & CS2.
    I have absolutely no reason to keep the older versions, I haven't used them in years.
    is it safe to uninstall? I'm worried because in the add/remove software panel, version 1 is 5,024mb and it says it's used "frequently" (even though I don't use it). for version 3 (the version I use currently), the size is only 144mb. do you think it has a cascading effect-- since each version was an upgrade from the last, maybe all versions must be intact in order to function properly? I can't find a clear enough answer on adobe's forums. is it safe to to remove CS1 and CS2?
    thanks!

    Hi
    After 2 hours of browsing through the forum, finally I have the issue I was looking for.
    I wish Adobe would categorize entries - an awful lot of users seem to know only one entry title.
    I have upgraded from CS3 to CS4 recently - and all my CS3 apps are alive and kicking and taking up space.
    BTW I thank seattle333 for being such a careful observer.
    On my control panel, CS3 is given with 209MB of disk space and used occasionally.
    CS4 has no indication of disk space (?) and is used occasionally.The last use date is today, however, which is correct.
    I find this worrying.
    You don't recommend removing the previous version. Does that mean that we are supposed to clutter up disk space with unused full versions, always at risk that there is some interference to bring the whole thing down? Having spent several hours to get the pdf printer to work with Office files (not to mention install problems on Mac - I have a double license), I hope you can appreciate my preoccupations.
    I use XP pro 64bits and Office Pro 2003
    Thanks and regards -svhk-

  • Do I need to and how to uninstall older version of JDK 7.0

    Hi,all I have installed both JDK 1.7 update 21(1.7.0.210) and 51(1.7.0.510), and so I wonder do I need to uninstall the older version which is JDK 1.7 update 21, as they both show up in the list of `Programs and Features` on Windows. Second, I tried Java Uninstall Tool, it only reports `There are no older versions of Java on your computer`. So I wonder can I just use the `Programs and Features` that manually uninstall any version of Java if I need to.
    cheers

    As I also set up `JAVA_HOME` to `jdk1.7.0_21` when I tried to install Android Developer Kit, so do I need to update `JAVA_HOME` accordingly? The installation was tricky, and I don't know if it is this setting up `JAVA_HOME` step made the ADT installation work.
    If the installation instructions of this product require setting a JAVA_HOME variable then yes, otherwise no.
    Trying is certainly a good teacher, but I'd rather read documentation first to at least make it educated tries.

  • Do I need to uninstall older version of Photoshop first?

    Nowhere in the FAQs or Install instrucitons, either the text or video install instructions, can I find any reference to the need or lack of the need, to uninstall an older version of Photoshop prior to downloading and installing the newer version. Specifically I will be upgrading from CS2 to CS5.
    Should I then assume it is not necesary? And if so would it be wise once the upgrade is done, that then I should uninstall CS2?
    Thanks
    Forgot to mention I am using an older but competant desktop which funtions fine using CS2. Windows 32 bit, XP Sp3 Home Edition, 2.56GB RAM.

    There is no need to uninstall CS2 before or after. You might find that some things are easier to do in CS2, creating PDF presentations etc. (now moved to Bridge)
