Uninstall version cue cs2

I've installed CS3 but the version cue cs2 icon still appears on the menu bar. I can't access CS2 from system preferences, "You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." the menu bar,"You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." or from the applications folder clicking on the uninstall version cue shows and alias which can't find the original version and inserting the original installation disk doesn't make the uninstaller magically reappear.
The uninstall pdf (uninstall CS2- all together)says "Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process." Fine, until I get to AHCRemind which isn't in the activity monitor.

I no longer have Creative Suite 2 on any computer. But, as I recall, when Version Cue CS2 is installed, you should see an "Adobe Version Cue CS2" folder in the Applications folder. Within that folder, there should be an Uninstaller application. Run it.
If that doesn't work, I have a list of files you can manually delete.

Exorcising old, unwanted Version Cue CS2 out of OSX System Preferences

I just switched over to an Intel Mac and have deleted my old Adobe CS2.
However I can't get rid of the "Version Cue CS2" from my System Preferences.
When I click on the Preference Pane, the following error shows up:
"You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version."
I have a lot of lingering things from my PPC G5 iMac that I transferred over onto my new Core2Duo iMac. Any help on banishing CS2 Sys Pref? Thanks!

Locate the preference pane in either the /Library/Preference Panes/ or /Home/Library/Preference Panes/ folder and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
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. Most applications create preference files which 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 located 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.
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.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

How to Uninstall Version Cue CS4?

Although I have Version Cue CS4 switched off, I would like to remove it completely since I think my Mac is having startup issues and I want to remove any potential source I can. (Unfortuately CS4 has always been the greatest source of stability issues on my Mac so a good place to start since I haven't used Version Cue CS4 in years).
I noticed on this forum thread a Version Cue SDK start-up script but I don't have this one show in my Bridge prefs, presumably I don't have the SDK installed or I'm not updated,
I note PS CS4 has an uninstall alias in it's application folder, but the other apps in CS4 creative suit don't. It's kind of apauling that I've had to spend so long trawling the various Adobe help labaryniths to get such basic information.

You said you think you are having startup issues on your Mac. What are the startup issues you are experiencing?
One quick thing to check; go to System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items.
Are there any Adobe applications listed that are automatically run when your Mac first starts up?
If not, then it seems unlikely that VersionCue or any Adobe product is related to your Mac startup issues.
You should try to focus on the Mac startup issues first. While your CS4 stability issues can be frustrating, it is a good idea to do first things first.
Have you applied all updates for your version of OSX? Have you run Disk Utility to repair permissions and do a hard disk test?
Although just because Disk Utility says the disk is ok doesn't mean that much, but if it flags disk issues then you need to resolute them first.
You should probably back up your files before doing a lot of troubleshooting, just to be on the safe side.
Posting your Mac model, PPC or Intel, OSX version along with amount of RAM and hard drive space - BOTH Used and Unused space might point towards the issues you are experiencing.
Also, describe the startup issues and if it happens all the time or only part of the time.

Adobe Version Cue CS2?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for posting this question in this forum, but I thought i'd get a quicker response than on the Adobe forum as there doesn't seem to be much life about it.
What exactly does Adobe Version Cue do? i've no idea, and it's pinned to my top menu bar and does not function. It's stuck on update 2.0 and I cannot update it to 2.1 because it keeps saying update failed.
Just looking to know if I can delete it or will it come in useful? I run the rest of the programmes that came along with it in Adobe Creative Suite C2 like Photoshop, InDesign etc... but not this Cue.
Thanks in advance!

Adobe Version Cue is revision management software intended to arbitrate conflicting changes when multiple people are editing the same documents at the same time. If you're familiar with Unix or software development, Version Cue is like CVS, Subversion (SVN), Mercurial, or GIT. In general, if you don't already know what Version Cue is, you don't need it.
The Mac implementation of Version Cue has never worked right, so the best advice I found is to avoid installing it in the first place. When I recently had to re-install my Adobe CS1 on Leopard, I just did a Custom Install, and unchecked the Version Cue option. Everything has worked perfectly since then.
I found these directions on removing Adobe Version Cue from CS2 in the middle of this page:
http://www.macfixitforums.com/printthread.php?Cat=&Board=Forum36&main=775306&typ e=thread
"I used System Preferences to turn off Version Cue, then followed MacFixit's fix....
delete the following files (or place them in a separate folder for safe-keeping):
• Adobe Version Cue folder from the Applications folder
• VersionCueCS2.prefPane folder from the Library/PreferencePanes folder.
• com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file from the Library/Preferences folder.
• AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder from the Library/StartupItems folder.
then restarted my mac."
Hope this helps.

Version Cue CS2 Wont Update

My Version wont update for some reason and i dont know why, all the other programs updated but not version cue, any reasons?

Hi, AfterAfx.
I see you have a MacBook Pro. According to this post on the Adobe Version Cue Forum, Version Cue does not run on Intel-based Macs as it is not Rosetta-compatible.
Adobe documents their current position on Intel-based Macs in the PDF document "FAQ: Adobe Support for Intel®-based Mac computers". On page three of that document they state that "Version Cue Workspace (Server), does not run under Rosetta..."
Good luck!

CS2 Version Cue: lost work space. (???)

Safari was crashing and error was wrong flash player plug in. SO...
I reinstalled flash player, then doing some things with the software apps and did a hard disk test, I did 'something' wrong. My computer crashed and when I restarted it, I had a totally different screen configuration. It was like starting from scratch. Lost a lot of stuff.
Safari browser bookmarks and bookmarks bar was gone, all folders in Mac Mail gone, even messages. It's like everything was wiped clean. I do have the information on my hard drive and trying to restore things, BUT... Now...
Safari crashes and gives me error message about needing Version Cue CS2 work space to run. I don't know what this means.
I must have thrown something out that had the work space with it? I was being so careful what unneeded excess stuff I tossed.
Went to Version Cue console.log this morning and this is what it says:

I can't reinstall just Version Cue, but I can uninstall it.
From what I understand, and that's not much being I'm not computer literate, CS2 needs Version Cue? Even though I had it turned off? (me thinks)
Can I uninstall Version Cue and still use all my other software?
I've had CS3 on my bookshelf for years. Never installed it because I wasn't sure how without messing other things up. Not sure what I would need to back up, etc.
Does CS3 have Version Cue? Would uninstalling CS2 and installing CS3 fix things?
My Processor is PowerPC, not Intel.
I am so frustrated and don't know what to do. Can anyone help me out here as to what I can do to make Safari happy?
Thanks!
PJ

No bites yet. Okay.
Simply put...
Can the rest of CS2 and Safari run without Version Cue if I uninstall it? Yes or No.
Does CS3 have Version Cue? Yes or No.
If I uninstall CS2 and install CS3, will Safari be happy?
I'm getting myself into a mess here without help cause I'm frustrated. Really need some help.

Scripting System Preferences/Adobe Version Cue Preferences

I'm trying to disable the Adobe Version Cue CS2 status bar menu on a number of machines at the same time. I can't figure out how to reference the check box for it though.
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.adobe.versioncueCS2.VCPrefPane"
tell application "System Events"
[click the box, darn you!]
end tell
end tell
So far, I can successfully bring up the version cue preference pane. everything i try in the system events section of the script, i receive a "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" From reading on various sites, I conclude that I'm just not references the check box correctly.
I've found the following information about the checkbox from UI Element Inspector:
<AXApplication: "System Preferences">
<AXWindow: "Adobe Version Cue CS2">
<AXTabGroup>
<AXCheckBox: "Show Version Cue CS2 Status in menu bar">
Attributes:
AXRole: "AXCheckBox"

AXSize: "w=357 h=18"
AXTitle: "Show Version Cue CS2 Status in menu bar"
Actions:

Can anyone provide some guidance?

How get rid of Version Cue

Adobe Version Cue CS2 is showing up in my son's Activity Monitor, but not in mine.
Is this something that was optional when installing CS2?
What does it do? Does he need it? How to remove it?
Thanks.
James

I have Version Cue on my mac too. It is unwanted.
I do not have Creative suite 2
I have:
PS CS3
Bridge CS3
Illustrator CS2
Lightroom 2
I do not know where Version Cue came from.
Version Cue does not seem to be in applications. I have done a search and can not find it.

Free version of CS2 - unable to install - please insert CD 2

I am running Win 7
I was pointed at a link for a free version of CS2.
http://www.free-stuff.co.uk/Free_Adobe_CS2_Creative_Suite_Download_Links.php
I assume it is a valid free offer. There is no indication at the Adobe site link.
There is a PDF that describes how to install and, although, the file names mentioned are not exactly the same as those that are downloaded they appear to correspond and everything downloaded correctly (there is a slight problem with the disk 3 link, with a superfluous backslash at the end but that is easy to get over).
I did as specified, i.e. run the disk 2,3 and extras files to expand the content then I ran the disk 1 file and everything appears to be ok until it gets to the stage of requiring disk 2 and doesn't find it.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to point it at the (correct location on the) hard drive (whether it is looking there or at the CD drive I don't know). So, essentially, I am stuck at a message saying "Please insert CD 2 to continue installation". Any ideas?

Installing CS2 on a Windows 8 64bit systems worked for me using the instructions below, followed to a "T".
"Be aware, this won't be for everyone. These are old programs, intended for use on Windows 2000/ XP and Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8 (PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor). We've managed to install CS2 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system, but this is unsupported and there's no telling what issues might crop up.
If you'd like just to try, though, here's what to do. Follow the download link to open a page at the Adobe site, and at a minimum download CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe from the links at the top of the page (that's a bulky 1.07GB in total, so choose a system with a fast internet connection).
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe, make a note of the default extraction folder (it was C:\Creative Suite CS2 for us), and click Next > Finish.
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe, change the default extraction folder name to whatever it was for the previous file, and click Next > Finish.
Run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe. The extraction folder should be the same as it was for the Disc3 file, but change it if not, and click Next. (The aim of all this being that all the CS2 content should end up in the same folder.)
The installer will appear. Click Next and accept the licence agreement.
The "Personalization" screen then asks for your registration details. Enter your name, (optionally) company, and the serial number 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 (you can paste this from the clipboard).
Next, the installer asks where to install Creative Suite 2. By default this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe on our Windows 7 x64 system, but it immediately complained that "The path your selected for installation contains unsupported characters". This is misleading; the real problem is just that the installer is using a long file name. Manually enter C:\Progra~1\Adobe as the folder name on 32-bit Windows, C:\Progra~2\Adobe on a 64-bit system, press Tab > Next and all should be well.
Read more: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/3328873/adobe-creative-suite-2/#ixzz2TI45RP5Z
You then get to choose to install some, or all of the suite's components. Your options are Adobe Illustrator CS2 (600MB), Adobe InDesign CS2 (400MB), Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2 (450MB), and Adobe Version Cue CS2 (300MB).
We opted for the "Entire Suite" option, and clicked Next.
A Summary screen appears listing all the choices you've made so far. If there's a mistake, click "Back" and change it, otherwise click Install.
If a message appears telling you to "Insert CD 2 to continue installation", open Explorer, and switch to the default extraction folder (we'll assume it's C:\Creative Suite CS2). Manually copy the C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe InDesign CS2 and C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Version Cue CS2 folders and their contents to C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0. Switch back to the installer, click OK and it should now continue.
Once installation is complete (which should only take 3 or 4 minutes, not the "up to 20" suggested by the setup program) a Registration dialog will appear. There's no need to bother registering, really - these are free tools, you're not going to get any support running them on modern PCs anyway - so the best option is probably to choose the "Do not register" option, and click Next > Done.
And with any luck, you should now have installed CS2. The issues may not end there, but you should at least now be able to launch and try out its various applications.

CS3 Version Cue-related crashes

I recently started having the crashes in both ID and PS relating to saving or placing objects that is described in article kb402930. I followed the instructions and uninstalled Version Cue, although I still had to manually remove the Application Support files. That allowed me to work within ID and save without any problems.
Unfortunately, now I can't even open PS. It gives me an error saying that Version Cue isn't installed!
Now what?
By the way, running OSX 10.4.11 on a G4. (Don't laugh.)
Thanks - JAY

Adobe Drive 2.1 supports connections to the Version Cue CS4 Server, or a CMIS compatible DAM system. So, you have two choices if you want to use it with CS5 authoring applications that are integrated with Adobe Drive 2.1:
1) Purchase a CS4 suite that has Version Cue CS4 server and install it. You can use the migration plug-in that comes with it to migrate data from your CS3 to the CS4 server, and then connect to it via Adobe Drive 2.1
2) Purchase a CMIS enabled DAM system. In this case, you'd have to use the Version Cue CS3 Server export features to export the head files to your file system, then import those into the DAM system via Adobe Drive 2.1. Keep in mind this would not include earlier versions, or version comments, etc; just the current version of all documents.

Version Cue Log Files Corrupted.

Address:
Version Cue CS2 > config > configuration.
I'm trying to create a back up of my hard drive, as a precaution whilst running an Adobe Clean script but the back up software is finding corrupt Version Cue log files.
Are these files critical?
Is it okay for me to delete one or two if they have become corrupted?

This is why I don't use Version Cue.

Disable adobe version cue?

hi
the problem is, the adobe version cue (cs2) has a "preferences error" when you try to access it in the preference pane. i assume this is because it's on rosetta and some things don't work properly until the universal version.
but is there another way to get rid of the version cue icon & menu from the taskbar?
it causes my shapeshifter theme to look weird because that part is being left out.
thanks for suggestions in advance

Since it's an Adobe product, you may want to post your question on the Adobe forums: http://www.adobe.com/go/gntraysupp_forumshome

Program uninstalled incorrectly (Adobe Version Cue CS 2)

Hey all!
I'm a fairly new mac user and when i recently wanted to uninstal Adobe Version Cue CS 2 i accidentally deleted the program files without running the uninstaller. The result is that OS X (I'm using 10.4.5) now thinks that Version Cue is still installed and displays it under system preferences while none (or at least most) of the files are actually not on the computer. I obviously tried reinstalling Version Cue but the installation CD wouldn't let me as it also detected that Version Cue was already installed. Does anyone know how i can "tell" OS X that Version Cue is not there anymore so I can reinstall it?
I was thinking of installing Version Cue on one of my friends mac and then copy the program files (especially the uninstaller) to mine. I'm guessing this could solve my problem but it would obviously be a lot easier if I could fix the problem by myself.
Thanks for any help.

IBOOK 14" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, PsychoNiko.
See the Adobe Support document "Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite (2.0 on Mac OS X)." Follow the steps therein pertinent to Version Cue. You may want to compare those steps with the Adobe Support document "Message "Version Cue is already installed on this machine..." appears when you reinstall Adobe Creative Suite (Mac OS)." The latter seems to apply to CS1 and comparing the two documents indicates some of the Version Cue file names have changed from CS1 to CS2.
When you have questions about third-party programs, it is often best to start your search with the Support Web site of the firm that publishes the program. I found the above in minutes by searching the Adobe support site.
To avoid uninstall problems like this in the future, see my "Uninstalling applications" FAQ for important advice on uninstalling software.
Good luck!

InCopy CS2 Copyfitting with InDesign CS3, Version Cue CS3

Hello. We are using InCopy CS2 together with InDesign CS3 as part of an Version Cue CS3 workflow. Certain stories do not copyfit exactly in InCopy CS2. They copyfit properly in InDesign CS3, but when the assignment with these stories is opened in InCopy CS2, the copyfit is close, but not perfect. We never had this problem when we were using InDesign CS2.
Has anyone seen this problem; can anyone suggest a workaround? (Incidentally, The copyfit looks just fine when we open the file in InCopy CS3; but we are NOT using InCopy CS3, because it causes synchronization problems - it reports that files are open, when they are not. )
Thanks for your help - Chris

The text engines have changed from CS2 to CS3 and again with CS4.
There's no way to get an accurate copy fit using a different version of InCopy than InDesign.
