Uninstalling Photoshop "alias" on Mac
Hi:
I hope I have the right group. I recently purchased the mac listed below. I was having some problems installing my cs3 photoshop program which has been resolved. However, I created about 5 alias's in the process that have the following error message attached and I am a not sure if I can just trash them. "The alias add or remove Adobe Photoshop 1 could not be opened because the original item could not be founded". I'm not even sure what the alias means in this context.
A little history on this matter is that my old mac's mother board crashed and I had all the information from that mac transfered to this new one.
An alias is like a shortcut. It is just a reference to the original item. You can delete an alias without affecting the original files. In this case, there are no longer any originals and the alias points to nothing.

Can I uninstall Photoshop from my Mac and reinstall it on my PC without paying again?
Hello,
About three months ago, I bought a package with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premeire Elements 12. I bought a DVD install that works with either Mac or Windows. I registered it under a Mac, because that's what I had at the time. However, now I have switched over to a Windows 8 PC. I would prefer not to pay again. Is there a way to transfer it without buying?Yes, just install it on the PC. You're allowed two activated installations so you can keep it on the mac, too, if you want. If not, just go to Help>Sign Out in the editor on the mac before you uninstall it.

How do I uninstall Photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX 6.4.11
I am getting the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" on starting CS2 or on doing any operations.
I have tried simply trashing the CS2 folder and reinstalling. Get same error.
Need to uninstall other parts. How do I do that???
I cannot locate an uninstaller
What need to be trashed?At least since CS3, for sure, there's an uninstaller for Photoshop that gets installed in ./Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/ when you install Photoshop. Can't remember whether there was one for CS2 already or not.
Re-installing without first trashing Photoshop preferences is futile, as you end up right back where you started. To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift. Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"; or remove the files manually. This tech note describes the location of Photoshop preferences files in CS4; I can't immediately locate a similar note for CS2.
You should also Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after every installation, re-install, update or upgrade of any application or the OS.

Uninstalling Photoshop 7 from Mac 10.5.4
Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS3 and would like to uninstall PS v.7.
Instead of deleting the folder (adobe PS 7)... Is there an better way of doing this?
Thank you in advance
CarlosHi sflocation,
Nope, that's pretty much it. If you want to go one step further look in your preference files for any Photoshop 7 or ImageReady 7 folders or files i.e. Settings, Paths and so forth. User > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop 7
The only thing to watch out for is if you made any presets that you should save from PS7 for use in PS CS3... brushes, styles, patterns, that sort of thing. -

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.First I would try using the preferred uninstaller, which is the installer from your original media (disc or dmg). When you get to where it says Install Components, choose Remove Components instead.
If that still fails, try running cleanscript and then removing things manually:

Mac OSX 10.6.8 running Photoshop CS5. My hard drive went belly up. Installed a new one and then tried to install Photoshop from my backup. I get an error message 6 telling me to uninstall Photoshop and then reinstall from the original software. But I bought from Adobe online. How do I go about this?
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -

Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well. It removes installation records according to the description.
