Uninstalling Adobe Elements 4.0

I installed Photoshop Elements 4.0 this morning. Seems like I bought it just yesterday but now I realize that I should have upgraded to 8.0 first. I realize this is the FCE Forum but can anyone tell me where I can find a way to properly uninstall Adobe Photoshop 4.0 from my iMac. I have been all over the Adobe forums and it is clear that they do not want you to uninstall this program.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks.

Terrance:
Thanks. Stupid question - so this will automatically remove all of the program elements without leaving pieces behind? I could not find any sort of uninstaller so dropping it in the trash makes sense.
Thanks

  • Do you need to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12?

    Is it best to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12 or not?
    If so, how do you save and transfer all Albums, Folders and Tags?
    If not, do they transfer automatically?

  • Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?  I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. 

    Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
    However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
    PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:

  • I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and receive a 1316 error.

    I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and receive a 1316 error.  The account already exists.  What?  I purchased and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and want to remove the older version.  Nothing works.

    Downloaded the trail versions and installed.  Had to do the trial versions because I no longer have the serial numbers.  Once I reinstalled, I was able to uninstall with no problems.

    Not unless you want to. Each version is a separate standalone version and you can keep both if you like.

  • Is it possible to uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements 13 from one computer and put it on another PC, using the same serial number?

    I had installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 on my laptop, which is slow. Is it possible to completely remove the program from my laptop, and reinstall it on another PC, using the SAME installation disc?

    Tomquer
    If all you have is the Premiere Elements 13 purchased activated serial number on one Windows computer, you can go ahead and do nothing else but install the program from the disc on the second Windows computer with the same purchased serial number.
    That will leave you with the purchased activated serial number on two of your computers.
    Adobe allows you the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. So, nothing to do but to use one at a time.
    Lots of scenarios beyond.
    1. Deactivate Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1. Do not bother to uninstall. Deactivation is not the same as uninstall.
    To deactivate, in an opened Premiere Elements 13 project, go to Help Menu/Sign Out. Close out of there.
    Then do nothing, leave the program in the deactivated/installed state.
    2. Deactivate and Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1.
    Any questions or need clarification, please let us know.
    Thanks.

  • How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 completely?

    How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Download Manager completely?
    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and I don't want to uninstall that.

    Hi
    Most Mac applications come in self-contained packages (ctrl-click, or right-click, & you will see Show Package Contents), they can just be dragged to the trash.
    Some applications have their own uninstaller which must be run.
    With Adobe Reader 8, I believe the icon in Applications is a folder so just drag it to the trash & empty the trash. I believe Download Manager (Applications/Utilities) should be the same. Someone may know different.
    There is also AppZapper or AppDelete. These work by you dragging & dropping the application you wish to delete onto its icon, AppZapper/AppDelete then pulls all parts of that application together then moves it to the trash.

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader X into Adobe Elements 6.0

    I am using Adobe Elements 6.0 which comes with Adobe Reader 6.0.  In the past per a TechNote (331114), I was able to update the Adobe Reader from the 6.0 to the latest version I am currently using (9.0) by putting the file into the folder: "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0" as the TechNote recommended. 
    Now I want to update to the Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) but that download will not allow me to direct the installation into the "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0" folder. It only does an automatic install and does not let me choose where to put the files (no menu pops up to let me direct the installation to a different folder).
    How do I make it install to the "Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 6.0"?  Or, dan't I dod that with the Adobe Reader X?
    Thanks.

    I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
    I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
    msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
    (The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Run the MS FixIt utiltiy, then see if you can use the Control Panel to uninstall:

  • I am unable to send pictures from Adobe elements 6 via e-mail anymore. Using windows 7 and Windows L

    Old PC died. Bought new PC, installed my Adobe Elements 6 but now I am unable to send photos by email from Adobe Elements 6 via email anymore. Using win7 and Windows Live email. I have tried uninstalling the program and re-installing. Please help.

    No, what happens when I try to send a photo as an email attachment is, after checking the recipient and then selecting “next” the next window says put in the code that was sent to you to verify that you are the person sending the photo.  (no code was received after installing it). Apparently I need to do whatever triggers sending the code to me. Uninstalling and reinstalling Elements did not result in my receiving any email with the code (and I checked the spam filter). Can you help?

  • Error 1402 attempting to uninstall PS Elements 6

    I am trying to uninstall PhotoShop Elements 6 in order to upgrade to PS Elements Premier 9.  Like a multitude of other Adobe product users and other install, uninstall and upgrade attempts for a variety of Adobe products, my PSE 6 uninstall efforts all fail with an Error 1402.Could not open <registry> key: <in this case> HKEY_CURRENT_USER32\Software\Classes\PhotoshopElements.Application.6\shell\launch.  According to its header, this message is being issued by Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 - Setup.
    The single instruction on this pop-up is "Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."  My userid has ADMINISTRATOR authority for my system, so my only option is to 'contact support personnel', which apparently are only reachable through these forums.
    Like many others who have reported Error 1402 and similar registry-oriented errors, I too am runing Windows Vista with 64-bit capability.  I don't know if that is truly relevant or not, but 'support personnel' certainlly should know that by now, as these problems have been reported against many Adobe products since 2006.
    What I can tell you is that my registry does not contain any keys that are qualified by 'USER32'.  I have only 'USER', no 'USER32' in my registry.  That begs the question:  Why, then, is PSE 6 Setup EXPECTING a key with a USER32 qualifier?
    Also, when I press 'OK' - the only option from the aforementioned pop-up - the text in the next Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 - Setup screen states:  "The wizard was inerrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 could be completely installed."  Is Adobe's Install Wizard confused?  I am trying to UNinstall PSE 6, not INSTALL it.  Or is this just a poorly worded generic, catch-all panel that just adds to an already confusing situation?
    I am extrely disappointed that AFTER FOUR YEARS a company with the stature of Adobe has been unable to fix this problem once and for all or at the very least provide step-by-step cookbook instructions on how to deal with it.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Adobe support, give me a quick and accurate fix for this problem!  If such instructions already exist, please point me to them, because from my perspective this problem is so generic that it is impossible to nail down with a forum search argument.
    Thank you.
