Uninstall CS6 applications

As part of the troubleshooting to install Creative Cloud apps, it was suggested by Adobe staff to uninstall CS6 applications, download CC apps, and re-download the CS6 apps. Although hesitant, I tried uninstalling a CS6 app I never use (Dreamweaver). Going to through the Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/uninstall Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 path, I started the uninstall. Adobe Application Manager and then became unresponsive. What is going on with these Adobe products that I can not install CC apps and now I can not uninstall CS6 apps? With all of these issues I am having, I am becoming very discouraged. I love using Adobe products, but this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I am so fearful that if I am able to uninstall the CS6 apps, I will not be able to install CC apps or reinstall CS6 apps given the recent history of problems I have had.
Here is a list of things I have tried thus far. May not be in order since they are from memory and some have been tried multiple times.
Deleted folders/files in /tmp folder
Uninstall Adobe CC apps
Uninstall/Reinstall Adobe Desktop Manager
Run Cleaner tool
Rename suggested folders to old_OOBE and etc
Tried direct downloads of CC apps
Tried download from website, app downloads through manager, stalls at 42%; setup using 100% CPU
Tried terminating Adobe CEF Helper (all 4 of them) during setup, none will terminate.
Verified and repaired disk using disk utility
Verified and repaired permissions using disk utility
Deleted HEX folder containing Adobe CEF Helper files and tried install again. (did this on a whim since I tried just about everything else)
Cleaned up Adobe ID credentials
Tried uninstalling CS6 app (Dreamweaver) to test if I could reinstall CS6 apps. Failed
I have no idea what else I can do. Any ideas, suggestions, step-by-step guides, anything that will help me get CC apps on my MacBook Pro will be greatly appreciated.
Just some additional information. I was able to download/install LightRoom 5 and I did download/install 3 fonts. Sync works fine. Just can not install/uninstall any apps.

Bstouff I would recommend reviewing the installation log files to determine the exact error which is preventing the installation from occurring. You can find details on how to locate and interpret that installation log files at Creative Cloud Help / Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC. The process is the same for both CS6 and CC 2014 Adobe applications. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover.

Uninstall Selected CS6 Applications

I want to uninstall a few of the CS6 applications, but not all of them.
Does checked mean remove application or not remove application?
Thanks in advance.

Items checked should indicate to uninstall them.

Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully. You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

How to uninstall CS6 suite when moving to CC

So I downloaded all the CC apps and installed them and now I was to uninstall the CS6 apps to free some space on my HDD.
I had CS6 with creative cloud subscription, and not a disk version, so when I go in the application/utilities/adobe installers folder I don't have a uninstall cs6 icon but only icons to uninstall the software one by one, like uninstall photoshop, or uninstall after effects...
So my question is; has anyone in that situation found out a way to uninstall all the CS6 apps at once instead of doing it one by one.
Thanks.

Hi antoinefromparis,
If the CS6 installed on your machine is a part of subscription and not a part of Suite and has been installed using Application Manager then you will only have the option to uninstall it one by one. We can only uninstall CS6 at once if it has been instaled as a part of suite.

How to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop silently?

Hello,
We have a situation where we have to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop from dozens of computers. I would like to do this silently using Psexec or SCCM. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. We have installed both using a msi file and I have tried command "msiexec.exe /uninstall C:\Temp\Build\indesigncs6.msi /quiet" for indesign but nothing happens. When taking the quiet command away I get an error saying "This feature can only be used to programs that have been installed". The error message has been roughly translated from Finnish so it probalbly isn't excatly the same in English versions. Obviously this computer has Indesign installed.
I have also tried the PDApp.exe, but haven't been able to run that silently either. Command I've tried is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="silent" --mediaSignature="{CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F}"
Is there a person who has successfully been able to silently uninstall Adobe Indesign or Photoshop CS6? If there is can you please tell us how to do it?

Thanks for answering. I tried to contact Adobe Support, but could not find out how to do that. I went to the Adobe Contact site and filled in what kind of problem I have and it just suggests that I ask from the community. If I try anything else it just leads me to the beginning.
You are absolutely correct that the CC Cleaner Tool is the way to do this. I have been able to generate cleanup.xml and used it. The problem is that the tool only finds Adobe Photoshop CS6 Driver version 13.0, Adobe Indesign CS6 Application Base Files version 8.0 and Adboe ID Credentials. It deletes these very efficiently and quietly. Problem is that it does not uninstall the whole program. For example all Adobe programs are still in the Start Menu and the Indesign folder is still found where it used to be. Have you any experience on this kind of problem?
Thank you in advance
Regards

It will be removed automatically when you will uninstall the last product from creative suites (including older versions of creatives suites)
However, can you please confirm if download is happening slow on your system. Can you check your broadband speed using www.speedtest.com

How do I move from a box license version of Adobe CS6 to a cloud license? Do I need to uninstall CS6

Hi All,
We have a user who currently has a box (serial key) version of Adobe CS6 installed on his machine. We now have a number of cloud licenses available and I want to move hm to a cloud license so that we can install the apps available from the cloud.
Do I need to uninstall the previous version of Adobe CS6 and then re-install from the cloud or can I just re-license the software using the creative cloud for desktops application?
Many Thanks
Paul.

There is no need for it. You can run CS6 Perpetual and CC on the same machine without uninstalling CS6.

How do I uninstall CS6 Master Collection and install CS6 Illustrator?

I have downloaded the complete CS6 Master Collection trial, yet I would like to try the applications individually instead.
I haven't yet started the trial.
How do I uninstall CS6 Master Collection and install CS6 Illustrator?

Yes installing only the Illustrator trial would use the trial for Illustrator. If you have installed the Master Collection though then your trial of Master Collection has already begun. I would recommend using the remainder of your Master Collection trial for the moment.

I cannot uninstall cs6 from "Programs and Features"

I just installed the new Photoshop CC 2014, Illustrator CC 2014, and InDesign CC 2014 and I noticed that I still had CS6 apps still installed on my computer. So i went to "Programs and Features" through control panel and noticed that none of the CS6 applications are actually listed there. The only apps that are listed there are the previous CC apps and the new CC 2014 apps.
Is there a reason why I'm not seeing the CS6 apps? And how can I uninstall the CS6 apps if I can't see them in "Programs and Features"?
Thanks.

It's a good idea, but no one will see your request here. Virtually no Adobe staff looks in this Creative Suite forum.
Your best bet is to post it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

Yes, just install as you normally would using the serial number you originally used.
You did not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single user license you are allowed to have two activated installations. So feel free to reinstall it if those are the only two machine you plan to have it on and you'd like to have a backup installation.

Postcript fonts not showing in any of the CS6 applications

I cannot get any of the postscript fonts to appear in the CS6 apps. I am using FontAgent Pro 4.1 to manually activate fonts with CS6 applications (auto-activiation works fine in pre CS6 programs - I do realize that InsiderSoftware has not released updated plugins for CS6 for windows yet). When I activate an opentype or truetype font they appear within a few seconds in the CS6 apps, but none of the postscript/type 1 fonts show. They do show in all other programs, including earlier versions of the Adobe programs. I have delete all adobefnt*.lst files, rebooted and still no progress.

Updated info - it appears that the folder \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts along with a shortcut pointing to the folder where FAP adds shortcuts (FAP_APS) for the type 1 fonts that are activated. This was present in the \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and all fonts except type 1 would appear in the CS6 apps when activated. I added the shortcut as shown in the link (http://knowledgebase.insidersoftware.com/entry/25/) and so far, type 1 fonts, once activated, are now showing in CS6. I wonder is this has anything to do with installing the 64 bit versions of Illustrator and Photoshop?
