Uninstalling and then reinstalling

I need to reformat and reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac. What do I need to do to uninstall Photoshop CS4, ACR and Bridge to ensure there are no problems with the licences when I reinstall them later?
Thanks.
Stephen

It should not be necessary to deactivate it but if you want to play it safe then fine.
Help>Deactivate that will deactivate everything installed with Photoshop if you do it from Photoshop.
Probably not necessary but so you know in advance for future use to uninstall you go to Applications/Utilities?Adobe Installers and use the Add Remove Photoshop CS 4 utility.
Since you are wiping your hard drive it is all going to be removed anyway. But it is good to uninstall anyway in case you change your mind during the process.
That is all there is to it.
If something goes a miss some how it won't customer services will help you to activate th install.
But nothing will go wrong as long as you are on the internet.

Can anyone help me? The iTunes update corrupted my program. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled iTunes; only to find an error message about iTunes Helper. After several fruitless, repeat attempts, I am at a loss. Please help-

Many thanks.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

TS5376 Does uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes affect the number of authorized computers listed for my account? When I reinstall, is iTunes considering my computer a new authorized device even though it was installed before??

Hello,
When trying to install the recent iTunes update, I got the Error Message "Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer." Apple's recommended solution involves the step of uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes on my laptop. I'm concerned that when I reinstall, iTunes will think it's a new device and use up one of the 5 device authorizations the iTunes accounts allow. Do I need to do anything in particular to prevent that? If yes, what should I do?
Thank you.
Katya

Actually, I'd use the following user tip rather than the Apple document as a guide. (At the time I'm writing this reply, the user tip is much better organised, more accurate and way more up to date that the Apple document.)
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
In the normal course of events, and uninstall/reinstall doesn't affect your number of authorisations on a computer. Usually, it requires a serious hardware change (like a new hard drive or motherboard), or a BIOS update, or an upgrade to a different Windows operating system to confuse your iTunes and make it think that it is now installed on a different computer before you end up using extra authorisations for the same operating system for the same computer. (So if you ever have to do things like major hardware changes, or BIOS updates on the computer, deauthorise the PC first, and then reauthorise after the change has been carried out.)

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.

In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

Try the other suggestions here:

Then try a restore.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

Hi,
Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

I want to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox but I can't uninstall it. Nothing happens when I click remove in program access and defaults and the helper.exe file in the firefox uninstall dir doesn't do anything either.

"program access and defaults" is not the place to remove programs in Windows. You need to go to the control panel and click on Add and Remove programs. For instructions on how to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

I have acquired a new laptop and wish to transfer my use of the creative cloud from my old laptop to my new one. How do I uninstall and then reinstall on the new device ?

I am trying to uninstall and then reinstall the suite. The uninstall app Adobe says to use, however, is nowhere to be found.

As part of my effort to get cs6 (especially InDesign) to work flawlessly in Yosemite on my iMac, I am trying to uninstall and then reinstall the suite. The uninstall app Adobe says to use, however, is nowhere to be found. Not in Applications, not in Utilities, not in a search. Any advice?

Hello Jimmy,
in this case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later and it would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool".
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.htl and if "open" please use the chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

I am encountering crashes with Photoshop Elements 12. If I uninstall and then reinstall the software, will I jeopardize the 100s of photo images I have already moved into the Organizer? Any cautions for me

If the app is designed correctly, the no, you won't. However, you'd have to ask the people who wrote the software, Adobe.

My entire iTunes library is missing on my two non-Apple computers. My libraries still exist on my iPad and iPhone though. I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing my devices, uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes and nothing works. What happened?

"You can not use this product at this time. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the product..."

Hello,
I am a U.S. citizen who works over the internet at home for a man in the U.K. My boss in the U.K. ordered CS3 from the U.K. and shipped it to the U.S.
For almost a year, I was able to use the CS3 products until all the sudden, I get an error message that says, "You cannot use this product at this time. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the product or contact Adobe for technical support." Every time I try and talk to a customer service representative from Adobe, I am either put on hold for about 30 minutes, am asked to contact the offices in the U.K since the product was purchased in the U.K. or am told I can't get any support because I don't have an order number or a serial number or whatever these people are asking for. I do not have that kind of money to be making long distance phone calls to the U.K. only to receive no technical support at all. My job is very important and if my boss paid over $1,000 for the product then either he or I should get the support we need before I end up loosing my job over it. I was once promised a very new clean CS3 CD along with a new serial key for all the trouble I went through with technical support and never received it in the mail. I can give you my boss' contact info, but I refuse to quit until I get the support I am looking for. My boss' number is
[personal contact info deleted by forum host]
and he might be able to supply the order number.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Lowe

Thank you! My solution was different. I had turned off services in MSCONFIG and did not turn them back on. After I turned services back on, Acrobat started working again without the nag error and impedance to use the program. I appreciate your input! Adobe customer service/tech support was dismally disappointing.

Well, more testing and I'm up against another wall. Sorry folks, no silver bullet.
