Unable to reinstall Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 on new iMac - Unable to find Uninstall anywhere in Library or Utilities

I just purchased a new iMac. Our previous iMac finally "died" and we had to have the data recovered from hard drive and transferred to the new iMac. I am now unable to open Bridge CS6 or Photorshop CS6. Message says I need to reinstall. But when going to Utilities, am unable to find Adobe Installer or Uninstall in any files or folders. Anxious to get back to using Bridge and Photoshop - HELP - and Thanks!!

No, you're never going to find it there.
In CS6, the Adobe uninstaller is inside the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder, which in turn is inside the Root Applications folder.

Error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"

Hi all,
We are having issues with Adobe Bridge working properly with Photoshop. When trying to access Bridge through Photoshop we receive the following error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"
- We have the Master Collection CS6 installed
- Bridge CS6 is working fine as a stand-alone program
- This is installed on Windows 7 x64
- I am unable to find an uninstall location for Bridge CS6, it is not under control panel > Adobe Master Suite
- All adobe products are up-to-date as of this morning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Does not make a difference is bridge is open or not.
Yes, we are accessing it through File/browse in bridge.
OK, back to square 1.
Does Bridge work normally? Does it load Bridge CS6 or does CS5 come up? Only one version can run at same time.
If you double click on an image it opens in CS6?

It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

I was wondering if I could reinstall Airdrop. I accidentally deleted it and I can't find it anywhere on my Mac!

Thanks Niel, but I don't really know what you mean. Sorry, but if you can, would you mind adding more detail? I'm really thankful for your help though!

How to reinstall Bridge CS6?

After severe trouble with Bridge CS6 (did not start up anymore) I decided to uninstall and reinstall it to get rid of the problems.
But, how can I reinstall Bridge since it is not listed in the Apllication Manager?

not as easy as most mac programs (with the drag and drop into trash option).
Only simple applications can be done so but then all other info written to libraries like prefs and presets are still on your machine.
Since you are both on a Mac can you both specify your machine (type, RAM, free disk space left and OS version)
To clarify
I'm on a MacPro with 32 GB RAM and SSD having always at least 25 % free and a separate scratch disk for PS dedicated.
Using 10.8.3 I have CS6 via Creative Cloud and also Indesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro and Acrobat Pro installed without any problems.
You can uninstall using the official uninstallers that are either in the parent application folders or in the Utilities folder / Adobe installers, inhere are all uninstallers.
Once thing have been messed up the fastest way is to back up all important settings (presets, keywords, actions and all other customized settings and third party plug ins)
Then use the uninstallers combined with deleting prefs and use the Adobe Cleaner tool (read the instruction before starting to uninstall) The clean tool removes most preferences and settings left but there will be still some files left on your system.
Mostly user library preferences and application support.
You can check your self or use 'easy find' (free search engine from Devon) to get other left overs from Adobe visible.
Then do system maintenance with check and repair disk permissions and finally install CS6 again.

Re-installing Photoshop CS6 on new iMac problem.

I transferred my Photoshop CS6 to a new iMac Retina running OSX 10.10.1, having taken care to deactivate on the old Mac first and then reactivated on the new. Photoshop comes up with an error message now each time I launch saying that "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necassary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop." So I did just that with my original installer disc. At the end of that process it said that there had been some errors and referred me to a log file which said:
Despite all this Photoshop seems to be working, but every time I launch it I get the same error message. I've not used it enough since the move to the new Mac to discover if any other faults have developed. As well as using my original install disc I also tried downloading the CS6 installer from the adobe.com site but exactly the same thing happens. I would welcome suggestions for a fix...

Alas, this did not work. I first of all tried the reinstall in Safe Boot mode and at the end of the process exactly the same install error message as shown above. I then moved to the part of those instructions that said to ditch Adobe AIR and reinstall it. AIR was not visible anywhere on my machine, nor did that folder /Volumes/Adobe Master Collection exist. Maybe there's a difference between what CS6 installs compared with the CS5 your instructions refer to (?). So I went back to the Adobe.com downloads page, got Adobe AIR and installed it - during that it told me it was upgrading my AIR (wherever that was hidden - Find file could not see it) to version 16. Otherwise no reported errors. I went a step further and used the Uninstall tool to remove the existing CS6 installation, then tried reinstalling Photoshop - again same issue, same error. So I'm no further forward after several hours of trying different things.
Any more ideas please?

Reinstall Adobe Cs6 onto new Mac

Hello! I am wanting to download my Adobe CS6 Design Standard to my new Mac computer. I uninstalled it from my old Mac and am not sure now how to reinstall on my new one. I thought I went through the proper uninstallation process for my old one (clicked Uninstall and it took about 10 minutes to uninstall all of the programs) - but I'm signed into My Adobe account and can not find any options to download or install.
Any help would be appreciated!!

you can download and install the trial: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/designstandard.html
activate a full copy with your serial number.
hopefully, you deactivated your previous installation before uninstalling otherwise you may be at or beyond your 2 activation limit.

Installing CS6 onto new imac from upgrades

Hi
I am wanting to install CS6 onto a new imac via the cloud. The CS6 I have is in disc format and is an upgrade from CS65.5.
CS5.5 is also an upgrade from CS4.
How do I install CS6 onto a new imac when I cant get install the original due to no CD drive? Going mad!!

Hi DonnaOxon,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
Even if you have the CD version of CS6 you can still download and install CS6 from the cloud. During the installation it will first ask you to enter the serial number for CS6 and on the next step it will automatically ask you to enter the serial number for CS5.5.
The product will be licensed and installed once you enter these serial numbers correctly.
Thanks
Kapil

New CS6 on new IMAC w/o drive

New IMAC does not have a CD drive. Ordered new CS6 but can't load it, can I down load from Adobe using the key (SN) on the CDs box?

All the CS 6 downloads are available as Trial downloads on Adobe.com website.
Depending on the product you purchased, you can download the trial version from the Adobe website and then can install and serialize the same using the serial number you received.

Transferring CS6 to new iMac

Hi all,
I currently have an old unibody Macbook with my copy of CS6 student edition. I recently bought a new iMac and am a little stumped as to how I go about installing CS6 when I can no longer use the adobe disc... As the iMac's don't have a disc drive!
Everything I have read says 'just uninstall and deactivate on your old device and then install and active on the new device' or 'you can have one licence running across 2 personal computers'. I don't know how to do any of this guys... Is it just a matter of logging into my creative cloud on my iMac and downloading from there somewhere?
Please help!
Thanks!

You can download the trial of CS6 and activate it using your serial number. If you like the idea of having it available on two machines then don't worry about the old installation... just install it on the new one and let it lay from there.

Alternate Trial Resource:
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

If you happen to have a Creative Cloud subscription, the CS6 programs are also available thru there.

Photoshop Elements freezing new iMac Alum 20"

I know a lot of people have noticed freezing with Leopard in general but we have tied it to Photoshop Elements.
New Alum 20" iMac.
After initial install of Leopard we experienced no issues with freezing. The computer was running great.
Then we installed PhotoShop Elements (latest version bought < 1 month ago) and then the computer wouldn't last 20min without freezing. Removed Photoshop and reinstalled. Still Freezing. Stripped out Photoshop and computer is now running fine for the last 24hr.
Anyone experience this? We need to get photoshop back on the system but I'm not willing to risk continuous freezing. Anyway to trouble shoot this further. I'm curious if its the Adobe Bridge application, the update utility or PS itself. We also noticed a drop in performance of IPhoto once we installed PS which returned after PS was removed.
I'm defining freezing as No keyboard input, the mouse is responsive and moves but unable to click on any buttons. The only way to recover is to force the computer to shutdown with the power button.
Mainly looking for any troubleshooting techniques for handling such a problem.
Thanks Mark

PS runs fine on my Mac under Leopard, but I've yet to launch Bridge since the update.... Have you used Bridge yet? I think it isn't compatible with Leopard, but PS is completely Leopard compatible........

How to re-install Photoshop CS on new iMac? [was: Installing]

My old PC crashed and died and I lost all of my files and programs. One of the programs I lost was Adobe Photoshop CS. I talked to a chat tech and she sent me a free link to re-download the program. It download ok, but it will not install. I now have a iMac and the file download was a Mac version, but it will not install.
The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.

The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.
What Ned said.
That error/warning is from the new Gatekeeper feature in Apple's Mavericks operating system. It's not from Adobe.
Gatekeeper is supposed to protect you from malware but it often causes more problems for the end user (like this) than it solves.
Having said all that, you will not be able to install Photoshop CS2 (the link you received to re-download CS was actually for CS2) on your new iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9+)
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
CS2 and earlier versions were written for older Macs running older non-Intel processors. Macs stopped using those several years ago. They now use Intel processors which are not compatible with the older processors.
CS and CS2 (10+ year old software) will only install and run on older (10+ years old) Macs running Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor. There is no version of CS or CS2 which will run on modern Mac operating systems.
With your new iMac running OS X Mavericks on an Intel processor, your choices are to buy CS6 or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee to run CC.

Installing a full version of Photoshop 6 on new iMac running SnowLeopard

I currently use a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.5.8. The G5 uses the old processors and Photoshop CS5 upgrade won't load because Photoshop CS5 only runs on the new Intel processors. My question: If I buy a new iMac with the Intel processors, is there a way to install a full version of Photoshop 6, and upgrade for Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5? When my daughter tried this approach, and tried to install the full version of CS 6, she received the message Classic OS was not installed so that ended the attempt. Do I have to buy a full version Photoshop CS5 for the new iMac? Thanks for any help, Doug

Another, often cheaper, route to upgrade is to find an older version upgrade and do a two step upgrade since you are out of the Adobe window.
You may be able to find a CS3 upgrade, buy that. Then purchase the CS5 upgrade.
http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-CS5-Upgrade-Mac/dp/B003B32B14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid =1294166832&sr=8-1
This route would still cost $400. But that is still a couple hundred dollars less than buying a full version of CS5 outright.
Just because Adobe stops selling older version upgrades, it doesn't mean all retailers stop selling them.

Photoshop CS3 causing new iMac to hang

I have an issue with Photoshop CS3 hanging my iMac.
When the application is active but in the background and unused for a while and I return to use it the entire machine becomes unresponsive, the mouse cursor can still be moved around the screen but nothing can be clicked (wireless mighty mouse), force quit can not be invoked to kill PS.
I have to resort to switching of the machine in order to get it back up.
Has anyone else seen this, either on an iMac or other intel macs..?

Not to dismiss your problem by any means, I thought I'd report my experience since I'm running PS CS3 as well. I'm on a 24" iMac and PS CS3 has been running well for me.
In addition to the keyboard and my Epson all-in-one printer (plugged into the back), I have a Logitech cordless mouse whose dock is plugged into the keyboard, and I have a USB 2.0 Maxtor hard drive plugged into the back.
I am getting general problems when I try to use my Belkin usb hub and when I use my usb card reader for any length of time, but I can't see that they have had any effect on running PS CS3.
Like I said - not to dismiss your issue - I just thought it might be helpful to share about my peripherals etc.
Good Luck,
Frank B.
