Uninstall lightroom 4.3 before installing lightroom 5?

Should I uninstall lightroom 4.3 before installing lightroom 5?

It really is up to you but I usually install new software before removing the old.

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

Do I have to uninstall old Brother printer before installing new one?

I have a Brother all-in-one MFC420CN that has seen better days. Just bought a new Brother all-in-one MFC-J615W. Do I have to uninstall the old one before installing the new? If so, how do I do that and how do I make sure I've gotten rid of everything connected wtih the old printer?

You don't have to uninstall the old printer. It is not going to cause you any trouble, just make the new printer the default one. If you want to uninstall it, go to System Preferences>Print & Scan. Click on the old printer and click the minus sign on the bottom.

Do I need to uninstall the old Firefox before installing the new version?

I really don't have any problems with Firefox, just trying to find out if it is necessary to uninstall Firefox 4, before installing the new version?

no, in fact, it's better to update it instead of installing the new one separately so that you don't loose your bookmarks and such.
To update, open firefox and go to Help and chose About Firefox. you should see an update button there.

Wish to uninstall corrupt flash player before installing new flash player

Hi there,
My old flash player (FP) is corrupt. As recommended by Adobe, I need to un-install the old FP program before installing a new FP program (flash player 9). But before I can un-install the old FP, I need to disable temporarily the add-on's to my browers, extensions, BHO(browser Helper Object), ActiveX, etc. The objective is to "block" any add on from preventing an un-install or an Install.
Does anyone out there know where these things are in Mac OSX 10.2.8 and how to disable them?
Thanks.

Can you SafeBoot the computer and then run the uninstaller, if available,
for that old of an OS X version? Was not even sure of any support for
Jaguar, since there really hasn't been much for Panther 10.3.9 for awhile.
Must be older players, since the latest ones have been too new for those
older OS X systems, also.
At this moment, I have no ideas on where the parts may be in hiding; and
have not used Jaguar for more than three years, having both sold and
donated the computers I had which best ran Jaguar 10.2.8, (& dual-booted
OS9.2.2) at the same time. A slower transition than expected, since then,
to actually doing more with computers & less learning about repairing them.
Not sure how supportive the Adobe Uninstallers for Flash (and/or Shockwave)
Players are for those still capable of being used by Jaguar 10.2.8; and like so
many of the browsers, older versions 'sort of work' while being left behind.
+I've never had a Flash player become corrupted. What are the symptoms?+
If you have a backup clone of before this item became corrupted, you could try
& revert to the earlier full system clone; or if last but not least, Archive & Install.
+Perhaps someone with a longer-term memory or more experience in 10.2.8+
+will find your post and add the missing link to get you back up & running...+
+I had thought to try & email someone else in a different thread about this one+
+but the link only gives me the topic at hand, and the person has to be in the+
+thread in order to quote from it; apparently. I sought to email a.brody, who+
+had replied in a thread you'd asked a question (different topic) before now.+
There is a short ton of semi-responsive results to a google of the topic inquiry:
Mac OS X 10.2.8 uninstalling Flash Player:

One path, I've read about but cannot verify since the original link (site was wiped) is invalid now,
was to follow this suggestion, from the time you downloaded the new Flash Player 9 for 10.2.8:
"Get Flash Player 9 for Mac OSX1-.1-10.3. After downloading, DON'T open it...yet. Search all your hard drive
for "Flash Player.plugin". Delete any you find. Search for "flashplayer.xpt". Delete any you find. Empty the
trash. Quit all browsers, and install the Flash Player you downloaded. Next, search for "Flash Player.plugin".
Copy it and paste it at Library/Internet Plugins, unless it's already there. Paste it at yourhomefolder/Library
/Internet Plugins, unless it's already there. Search for "flashplayer.xpt". Copy and paste it at Library/Internet
Plugins, unless it's already there. Restart computer. Open Disk Utility. Select the hard drive, select "First Aid".
Repair Disk Permissions. When repaired, quit Disk Utility. Launch Safari or Firefox." - unknown 10.2.8 author.
Maybe that means something helpful.
Some of it looks familiar yet distant...
(It's all this winter - nine months of it!)
Good luck & happy computing!

Do i need to uninstall elements on PC before installing on Mac?

I recently got a mac and want to transfere my elements 10 from my PC to mac. I am aware that elements 10 is multi platform so I should be able to do this. However, should I uninstall the previous version on my PC before attempting to install on my Mac? If I dont, will it effect the license/ the amount of times I can use the key etc.?

No, you do not need to uninstall.
You can use a single license on two machines to install.

Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) before installing my new CS6 (Education) Design Standard

Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) Design Standard before I install CS6 ( Education) Design Standard Software? How do I do this, is there an uninstall mechanism available?

Hi bmcgon1,
It doesnt matter if you uninstall the older version or not.CS6 installer would be a new install and it would not overwrite or uninstall the older CS4 version software. if you dont intend to use the older version CS4 software you can unisntall using the Creative Suite Cleaner tool.

Should I uninstall Premiere Elements 10 before installing Elements 12?

I got Elements 12 today, but I would like to know if I should uininstall Elements 10 first.

John,
There is no reason to do so. The two versions can co-exist quite nicely. PrE 12 will install into a different folder structure, from your PrE 10 installation.
Many users keep the older version(s) installed, until they have learned the newer version - there are some significant changes between PrE 10 & PrE 12. Then, when they are fully up to speed with the newer, might consider Uninstalling the previous. A few users keep each older version, because one might do something better, or for testing purposes in the forums. I have a few older versions, and at least two users have about everything, going back to about PrE 4.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cant uninstall iPod for windows before Installing 7.0.2

Im using Windows XP. When I tried to install iTunes 7.0.2, it told me to uninstall previous iTunes software which I did. Then during installation is out up error message cant install until I uninstall previous iPod software. I have a program called iPod for Windows listed, but no matter what I do in the Delete Program it wont uninstall. Cant go any further. I also uninstalled Quicktime already from a related topic.
Thanks in advance.

I finally gave up on iTunes 7. After uninstalling iTunes 7 and reinstalling iTunes 6, my iPod became more reliable and Windows XP would consistently mount it. Even though iTunes 7 is well conceived, I founded considerably slower than version 6. The slowdown becomes apparent when iTunes automatically starts with connecting an iPod. Syncing the iPod with a large music database will cause a slowdown; even a crash.
I do not believe that iTunes is multi-threading well on Windows XP. My other syncing applications do not put a strain on my computer’s resources. My computer handles Photoshop 10 megapixel processing and a 2 gigs bi-directional sync over my network without a hiccup. iTune grinds my computer to a halt with just a 2 gigs syncing to the iPod. In addition, all startup items were disabled in the troubleshooting process.
Even though features like the Summary tabs and view by album art appeal to me, I will hold off on the iTunes 7 upgrade in place of speed and reliability. I have a couple recommendations as well. These suggestions are for people with large music databases and a large number of hard drive and firewire devices.
TURN ON – Automatically update selected playlist only
TURN OFF – Open iTunes when this iPod is attached
If you restore you iPod, leave your computer alone for several hours while iTunes fills up a large capacity iPod. It took me all weekend to reload my iPod.

Should I uninstall PSE Ver 9 before installing PSE Ver 12 retail pack?

MY laptop came with PSE Ver 9 preloaded.
I have bought the discs for PSE Ver 12 ( Photoshop and Premier Elements ) In Amazon.
Should I uninstall Version 9 using the Program Features Uninstall routine. BEFORE loading Ver 12?

THanks Barbara
interested when you say missing features, that can be copied over?
Is there any Performance degredation associated with leaving a redundant program there.? Ie will the unused program slow down ver 12? Eg will it clog up shared services etc.
or more likely, ( after my nightmare trying to load PSE VER 12, when it had to be uninstalled - it eventually took one of their top technicians 3.5 hours of manual clean up) is there a bigger risk in uninstalling ver 9.
In light how badly Version 12 uninstalls is this a nightmare too?
my preference is to go for ultimate performance over a few aextra features.
I Got more than I need atm lol!

Should I uninstall PE8 trial version before instaling PE8 ?

Just wondering what is the reccomended way to install PE8 after previously installing the trail version.
Should I uninstall the trial version and re-install PE8, or just enter my license info to the trial version ?
I thought the boxed version has some additional templeates etc that are not in the trial version.

There is nothing in the disc version of the program that is not in the trial download, mk. (Even the extra templates are available as a download.)
But that said, it certainly wouldn't hurt to uninstall it and install the disc version anyway. Sometimes a re-installation to fix some things that didn't take on the first installation.

HOW Do I uninstall iWork 06 ? before install Iwork 08 ????????

help

Although "garbage" might not have been a good word,
For Windows, I think it is!
I can't imagine what you have in Application Support that is 203.7 MB. My iWork folder in Application Support with all of the aforementioned templates for both Pages & Numbers is only 9.3 MB.
There is really no difference deleting from Spotlight or an open Finder window, they both show you where the file is. But, if you're uncomfortable deleting from the Spotlight result window, click on the file in the result list then, at the bottom of the window, where you see the path to the file, double-click on the folder name just before the file name to open that folder, revealing the file/folder found. Move it to the Trash. Repeat until all items you want to delete are in the Trash. Empty the Trash.

Already have Support Software v5.0 installed, do I need to uninstall it before installing SS v5.1? Please help!

as title.

thanks for reply.
anyway, I uninstall the older version before installing the new. for those who having trouble uninstalling Windows software try Fix it software from microsoft (thank rtheb's post).
one thing I didn't mention is that I did a fresh win8 install using boot camp assistant, but at that time the latest boot camp support services available was v4.0 which is not supposed to support win8.
later, when boot camp support services v5.0 final was released, I installed it on top of v4.0 (i.e. without uninstalling v4.0). I couldn't remember if I got a error message for that, but the computer seemed running ok except that I got a error message when uninstalling boot camp support services v5.0 this time.

Hi Dm606,
You don't need to uninstall Photoshop Element 6 before installing
Photoshop Element12.
However, it is totally your decission to uninstall PSE6 but it won't give you any
problem if both version co-exist.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any other question.
