Uninstalling CS5 after CS5.5 upgrade

Maybe my search-fu isn't what it used to be, but I couldn't find any definitive info on this:
Can I safely uninstall the CS5 Master Collection applications after installing the CS5.5 upgrade on OS X? (Assuming I no longer wish to run the CS5 apps for whatever reason.) Both were installed from disc, and CS5 was my "qualifying product" for the upgrade.
I know enough to use the uninstallers in the Adobe Applications folders, but I've seen (slightly dubious) anecdotal evidence to suggest that uninstalling CS5 apps after the 5.5 upgrade may actually botch 5.5. Can anyone confirm or deny this? What's the best practice?

The components of the two versions are independent. You should have no problem uninstalling the older version.

Removing CS5 After CS5.5 installation (MAC)

Hi
I know this is a boring question but.....I bought the upgrade to CS5.5 from CS5 (Master Collection for MAC). I thought it would ask be about removing old versions during install but it didn't. Now I have both CS5 AND CS5.5 installed.
I know that inside each program folder (in Applicatioins) is an "Uninstall" program. Should I just do that with each of the old versions? I am nervous that something weird might happen (removing part of the new versions). Thank you in advance for your help.

You have 25 terabytes on your internal drive? Is that even possible? Because I'm not talking about externals. Anyway, I admittedly am not a film guy, I found this thread through googling and I will check out that link you sent but its just annoying that I have to download something else to uninstall some software cleanly. A basic thing users do all the time.
Also don't get me wrong I love Adobe but this issue is just one of a few annoying ones they constantly leave unanswered, and people like the original poster ask how to remove and instead of answering that question, Adobe (and others) tell him to keep it. But that wasn't his question....answer the man's question. Adobe has tons of users asking this because most DONT WANT TO KEEP OLD VERSIONS. Hard drive space is not THAT cheap, and there's no point in keeping old versions. None. Why would I ever need CS2? It would be taking up roughly 10 gigs a release x however many versions, PLUS all those hidden system files that build up enough and probably affect your computer's performance. No thanks. Just tell me how to clean out the old.
But I do thank you for the link...I will check it out and see if that is the fix we're all looking for.

Installed CS5 after CS5.5. How do I fix associations?

I installed CS5.5 Master which includes PRemiere and After Effects onto a brand new PC I built. I though I knew that I'd never need my copy of CS5 MC again so I didn't even load it. Then I realized I have several plug-ins that will not install in CS5.5. So I went ahead and installed CS5 MAster but only selected After Effects and Premiere since these are the only ones I need the plugins for. Well...it worked, but going forward "all" plugins are pointing to CS5 now instead. I modified the registry key HKLM\software\adobe\premiere pro\current version\plug-insDir to point back to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS5.5\MediaCore.
I thought this should fix it but is does not. Additionally all my projects are opening with CS5 instead of CS5.5. Is there some way to fix this? Can I reinstall CS5.5 overtop of itself, even if I've done all the updates and installed a dozen+ plugins? Any help would be great!
Thanks.

These are older versions of a few plugins that work in CS5.5 but will not properly install since the installation package is looking for CS5. I have them installed and working now, but I am wondering how I can get CS5.5 to be the main version of CS on my system again? I tried to go into Programs and Features and see if I could simply do a repair of the installation but Adobe only offers uninstall options. I'll keep looking. I realize now that I should have installed CS5 then CS5.5 but I have a streamlined clean build that I spent 3-4 days on and don't want to start from scratch.
Thanks.

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5 upgrade

Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 after installing a new copy of CS5 upgrade? For the sake of not eating up storage space? Or does CS5 depend on files CS3 has already in place? I'd like to get Bridge CS3 off my computer since Bridge CS5 is now installed. And CS3 is not appearing in the Add/Remove dialog in Control Panel (Win XP Pro)

Please read this and this. In short: Attempting to remove older versions after the fact is ill advised. It's calling for trouble, especailyl with the fragile CS3 installers. Read the articles and obey proper procedures. Otherwise jsut leave the old version in place.

Can I remove safely Photoshop CS5 after a successful upgrade to Photoshop CS6?

Can I remove safely Photoshop CS5 after a successful upgrade to Photoshop CS6? What is best and safest way to do this?

If you are using a Windows OS
Open CS5 and go Help > Deactivate.
Then Control Panel > Programs and features > select CS5 and uninstall.
Or just leave it there. Make sure you have sorted any third party plugins from CS5, although the uninstall should leave them intact.

Font names are invisible in Ai CS5 after upgrading to OSX 10.10 Yosemite

Hello,
I am having a minor drawback on Adobe Illustrator CS5 after upgrading my iMac to OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The thing is when trying to select a font form a Type>Font selection mostly all font names are invisible. This only happens in Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign works fine. I have attached a screenshot of what I am seeing: after hovering with my mouse pointer over the particular font the name appears, but otherwise not.
I will also address this issue to Apple support as well.
Waiting for your reply.

donelaitis,
I believe post #15 in this thread may give the solution.

A bug? Photoshop Action Playback is too fast after CS5-CS6 upgrade!! My action wont work

On a PC
I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 (cloud) over the long weekend and I'm now faced with a massive headache. The process actions I use intensively for my work are all foxed by the simple problem that the action playback is going too fast for scripting over two documents to keep up. I have tried everything I can think of but the only thing that allows the action to progress sensibly (as in previous versions of the software) is the step-by-step playback mode. This is too slow to use on an ongoing basis.
The problem is caused by the following sequence
Save as document (on desktop)
Open as document - open as Camera Raw - after settings open in Photoshop
Select All
Copy
Close - saving no
(PS automatically selects previous document)
++++ paste ++++ ERROR Paste command is not currently available
This is where Photoshop should select the previous/underlying document before applying the Paste command. Since the upgrade its been trying to paste the clipboard in the split second after closing and selecting the previous document, and reporting no document available at all. Slowing or pausing the playback with step by step or stop&continue works around the problem but causes workflow to slow down drastically.
Is there a way to script a pause during this one crucial moment? Or is there a preference setting I have overlooked that is casing the behaviour?

Save as - open as camera raw - select all- copy - close - paste. The dance is the ony way I can apply Camera Raw settings such as clarity, noise reduction etc to my retouch after the initial raw conversion. Its a well used technique that I've known about for years. Loads of people use this method in CS6, but for some reason I can'y get it to work after the upgrade.
The action is recorded in the regular record/play type action script. Its a big action and would take many hours to convert into javascript (even if I had the skills). I could possibly use the script recorder plugin but that rules out future tweaks without rewriting everything from scratch. app.refresh and $.sleep sound interesting though... is it possible to incorporate them into the basic action script?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion? Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

I think you are missing my point.
For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

Can not open InDesign CS5 after updating to Yosemite.

I cannot open InDesign CS5 after updating my iMac to OS X Yosemite. I received an error message that said I need to install the legacy Java SE runtime.
I searched through the topics in this Forum, and followed what was recommended.
I have installed the most current legacy Java SE 8 runtime and verified that it is on my computer,
then rebooted the computer, a 2014 iMac. I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign CS5.
I still receive the error message that I need to install the legacy Java SE runtime. Next steps?

CS5 is NOT supported under Yosemite. Additionally, in place operating system upgrades are nothing short of a crapshoot.
Try uninstalling, running the cleaner tool and reinstalling. If that doesn’t help a clean install of the operating system is in order.
Even then you’re on your own.

CS5 or CS5.5 Adobe After Effects

I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and was wondering if CS5 or CS5.5 Adobe After Effects was available still?

No. You can only buy current versions. If your machine allows, it would be easier to just upgrade OSX, otehrwise you'll have to find a legit used copy of these older versions, which might prove quite difficult...

Can't find this info anywhere... Can I upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?

After using Adobe products for years and years, it's not only my opinion but the opinion of many of my colleagues that CS upgrades are only worth it about every other upgrade. That might be a subjective opinion, but it does lead in to my question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?? I can't find that info anywhere on Adobe's site.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5??
The Adobe Buying Guide clearly states that the answer for CS3 to CS5.5 is yes.
Design Premium example (other Creative Suites are the same):
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/buying-guide.displayTab2.html
You won't be able to buy CS5 from Adobe (not that you'd have any reason to).

I just bought a new computer and want to load in photoshop from the old one. I have CS5. Since CS5 was an upgrade I installed CS4 first, but now I can't figure out how to install the CS5 upgrade. Any advice?

How do I transfer photoshop from one computer to another? I have CS5. Since CS5 was an upgrade I installed CS4 first, but now I cannot figure out how to install the CS5 upgrade. Any advice?

No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.

Just as an aside - I have been getting messages on here from Adobe Admin saying that CS5 cannot be reinstalled because everything is now in the cloud and that for $350 I can buy CS6 to install on my new computer. What? Am I getting spammed on Adobe's site here?
Where did you see that?

Upgrading Photoshop CS5 to CS5 Production premium

I'm a happy guy now i have CS5 Production Premium - and everything installed great - but Photoshop CS5 has not upgraded to the extended version
I selected it in the installation programme, but the 3D module is not there.
Any ideas please?

You probably should have uninstalled the standalone PS first. Try that and then reinstall using the PP installer.

Uninstall Photoshop CS5 with CS5.1 Installed?

How do I uninstall Mac Photoshop CS5 when I have installed CS5.1 also? The Adobe Application Manager just shows one version to uninstall which I would guess is the CS5.1 version.

If you used Mac migration, it does not work due to hidden registration files
