Uninstalling old CS2 after installing CS5.5 on MAC

Can you tell me if it is safe to uninstall an old version of CS2 after successfuly installing cs5.5 or did the cs5.5 build off of my CS2?

You can uninstall it although it may cause problems with your file associations.

You don't have to and if you use any of the features removed in v12 (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1302663?tstart=0) you might want to keep it.

Remove CS4 after installing CS5

Hi...
Just bought CS5 Design Premium upgrade (from CS4). While waiting for CS5 to arrive, I downloaded the trial version of CS4. This did NOT overwrite CS4. When I receive CS5, I plan on just putting the serial number in the trial version. That will leave CS4 on my computer.
2 questions...
1. Can I delete CS4 (after installing CS5) using add/remove without messing up the CS5 installation?
2. If I remove the trial version and install CS5 when I receive it, will it automatically remove/overwrite CS4?
Thanks for your help...

1. Yes, but there's no good reason to do so.
2. No, the trial is identical to purchased version. Just enter your serial number and you should be good to go.

After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows

After installing Mavericks, office for mac 2008 doesn't work properly

After installing mavericks, office for mac 2008 is slow, unresponsive a lot of the time, and slows my whole mac down if i want to do other things at the same time. Is there a solution that doesn't involve spending loads of money on a newer version of office for mac?

All Good. Are there any pending updates for MS Office by chance? Just check under the Help menu in the top Menu when you open Word.
I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore (thanks Mende1 for the link)

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.

Problem uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5 - help!

I installed CS5 without a hitch.
I then tried to uninstall CS4. I opened Photoshop and chose Help/Deactivate, taking care to tick the serial number box too.
After the uninstall procedure, I got an message that it had completed but with errors.
In Control Panel/Programs, CS4 is still listed, but now showing only 3.77Mb instead of the 300Mb+ that it was.
I then downloaded Adobe Support Advisor and ran it. The diagnosis directed me to this Knowledge Base Article.......
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403891.html#ionComHeading
1. Can I get rid of what remains of CS4 in my Control Panel?
2. Will it affect my system in any way?
3. Will it affect CS5 in any way?
I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past. Not a happy bunny at all!
Thanks.
D.
ps. I couldn't not insert the above link by right clicking and choosing insert link - had to type it by hand. But, the kb number (403891) is definitely correct.

I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past.
...but then you probably obeyed the correct order in the first place. Anyway, there is no harm in leaving the remnants in place. you can of course make them disappear by removing the relevant registry key(s), but how important that little cosmetic surgery is to you, is for you to decide.

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5.5?

I have previously installed CS5.5 standard onto my laptop and retained CS3 until I was proficient. What is the best procedure to now uninstall CS3 and free up some HDD space? Win7 64 bit OS. Do I need to deactivate CS3 or will this stop the newer software from running?

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the quick response. I am a CS novice so your help is appreciated. Do I need to deactivate both CS3 & CS5.5 before I uninstall? If so, are there any codes I should write down to allow me to reinstall and reactivate CS5.5? I have the Upgrade Version of CS5.5 Design Standard.

Problem reinstalling FB4 premium after installing CS5 MC on windows 7 64-bit

Hello,
I was hoping that I could get some help with an issue -- I filed a technical request (ticket) with Adobe but also wanted to reach out here.
Background:
I installed FB4 Premium in March, and had no issues with the download or install -- everyhting had been working fine. Yesterday I installed CS5 MC and in the process of installing it over-wrote the debug versions of flash player that come in FB4 premium with standard flash player. Naturally,that won't work with FB4 so I needed to find a way to reinstall the debug version of flash player plug-in and active x. After trying unsuccessfully for while to do so, I decided it would just be easier to uninstall and reinstall the FB4 download which I still had on my machine, as this comes with the debug players I need. Big mistake. Now I can't get FB4 to reinstall. I am getting the following error messages while running the install set-up (see uploaded image of error message below). Any thoughts at all on how I can resolve this? I did try several reboots, new installs and even re-downlaoded FB4 again from the Adobe store. It appears the presecne of MC5 has caused this somehow?? I run windows 7 64-bit pro. By the way, I did figure out (too late) the way to reinstall the debug flash player -- I first needed to run a script to delete the existing flash player rather than just uninstall it; if anyone needs the script or help on that let me know.
hanks very much -- this has me stumped.
Bob

Hello Chris,
Thank you very much for this insight. It worked. Now I just have a few issues around getting a shortcut for FB4 on the desktop and fixing the FB4 app icon (which now shows up as blank). But it is running as FB4 premium -- Thank you so much!! I have also sent an email to the Adobe engineers working on this case.
I realized that my big mistake was thinking that I needed to reinstall FB4 premium standalone to get FB4 premium to work -- but this was not possible (due to how CS5 installer works) and not needed (because CS5 has all of the code needed to run FB4 premium). The answer (as you described) was simply to go abck to the CS5 installer let it install FB4. While CS5 would initially install FB4 as standard, the serial number "games" described here and in other posts would allow me to upgrade to to FB4 premium. It now works as FB4 premium!
Thank you Chris,
Bob Avena

Problem after installing CS5

I installed CS5 Production Premium.
A few days later I noticed a message from Windows 7 saying I need to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player. A link was provided to the Adobe Flash Uninstaller.
I uninstalled it. Now I go to the Adobe website to reinstall, but I get a message saying that is not the most recent version of Flash Player.
Help please.

Remove cs3 bridge cache after installing cs5

I removed cs3 including bridge and installed cs5 and find that the cs3 bridge cache and associated files are still in my hard drive occupying 6.5GB of space. Can I remove this and how?

CS3 and CS5 uses different cache data bases, so you can delete them using the CS3 purge cache in preferences. If you have uninstalled CS2 just delete the files.
