Uninstalling Previous versions of components

I have presently upgraded my Photoshop to CS4, but my other Adobe products (Dreamweaver, Premiere pro, Encore) are CS3 At this moment Bridge CS4 has been installed alongside Bridge CS3
My question is, can I uninstall Bridge CS3 since I will no longer use it, without creating any problems to the CS3 products, or is it really needed for those products?
Also, what about Device Central & Extension manager CS3? Can I safely uninstall them, without creating any problems for me?
Thanks

You need Bridge CS3 for the other CS3 applications and CS4 for Photoshop CS4.
The two will co-exist happily together in their separate folders but cannot be used simultaneously.
It is not advisable to uninstall bits and pieces. It can potentially cause problems.

  • Uninstalling previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

    I would like to uninstall previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom in order to free up space.  What is the proper procedure for doing so?  Is it recommended to do?

    Is it recommended to do?
    It's not recommended nor is it not recomemnded. It's entirely your own decision. As Curt said, there are certain side effects, in addition to file associations also shared components possibly breaking down (PDF libraries), so if it's not that critical, leave them in place. otehrwise you may have to reinstall CS6 after you have removed the other versions.

  • How to uninstall previous versions of lightroom?

    how do you uninstall previous versions of lightroom?
    Do you also need to delete any folders?
    I have Updated to the new LR CC version a couple of days ago and need space.

    Knowing whether you are using a Mac or a PC would be rather important to answer your question.
    Anyhow, there is not need to delete any program folder manually. Simply use the respective method of your OS.
    LR CC created a copy of your LR5 catalog and upgraded it. If you remove LR5 you might want to remove the catalog file as well as the preview folder (make sure not to delete the new ones of LR CC ).

  • Do I need to uninstall previous versions??

    Hello,
    Do I need to completely uninstall previous versions of any CS2 (Bridge, or even After Effects 7 Pro) before installing After Effects CS3?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same error message, too. AND I've already tried the cleanscript, several times. All the way to level 4. I still get the same message. And adobe support is absolutely useless. I tell them that Safari 3 beta seems to be a very predominant problem when installing CS3 and they tell me that there are no records of this occurence. Well, threads don't lie, honey. Your customers are pissed. And you know what's even worse? I HAD CS3 installed on my Mac and then something happens in Photoshop, tells me to uninstall then reinstall, and that's when this starts happening. Only the problem jumped to the rest of Adobe's applications and they told me I had to reinstall them, as well. Now, after running multiple scripts and erasing previous versions of Photoshop, I still have nothing.
    And what's even more ironic is those people who got a hacked version of the apps and didn't have to go through any of this. Soooo... what's the incentive to purchase from you Adobe?

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of JRE???

    I have these previous version of JRE installed:
    J2RE, SE 1.4.1_02
    J2RE, SE 1.4.1_07
    J2RE, SE 1.4.2_05
    I am now updating to J2RE, SE 1.4.2_06 should I uninstall previous versions of JRE or should I leave it alone?
    If I were to uninstall do I uninstall via Control Panel or is there another way to uninstall JRE?

    There is little harm in either having multiple version (except disk psace/clutter) or removing them. If it turns out you have software that will not work with the latest version, you can always re-install an older version.

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox?

    Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox? I found 4 versions of Firefox in my control panel/programs & features. The latest version is 5.0.

    Quite honestly, unless you installed Firefox into a different Program Files folder yourself every time you installed a new version of Firefox, I doubt if those older versions are still installed. Don't '''Remove''' anything until you can verify that the older versions are in fact still there, by "touring" the Program Files set of folder thru the Windows Explorer file interface ''(not to be confused with the Internet Explorer web browser)''.
    When Firefox is updated, it installs the new version in the folder where the old version was. And, the Firefox installer uses the same folder all the time, except for the 4.0 beta versions and when the user does a '''"Custom"''' installation & selects a different folder than normal for Firefox.

  • Adobe Reader Customization uninstall previous versions

    Hello, I deployed Adobe Reader XI through Group Policy, Windows Server 2003. I used the Adobe Reader XI Customization Tool, and created a transform. I left the option checked to uninstall previous versions of Reader. Adobe Reader XI installed with all other settings configured properly that were created in the transform; however, the previous version, Adobe Reader X, did not uninstall. Has anyone experience this issue? If so, how did you get the other version of Adobe uninstalled?

    Make sure the last thing you do in the wizard (right before you save) is check the box. There is a current bug in the customization wizard that will uncheck that option if you do anything else afterwards. There is a note of the bug in the wizard documentation located here (see the note in section 6.2): http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#remove-insta lled-products
    The note reads: "There is a current bug in which this checkbox becomes unchecked if any other feature is configured. Therefore, if you want to remove all versions of Reader, check this box as your last action before you save the modified package."

    Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files.

  • Uninstall previous versions when installing new ones?

    I upgrade my Photoshop Elements to Photoshop CS5 that comes with Bridge CS5 also, by downloading and installing the files. Do I have to uninstall the Photoshop Elements and Bridge CS4 to only have the upgraded versions?

    Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements are different applications, so  Ps CS5 is not essentially upgrade version of PSE previous versions.
    Does  that helps? What i am trying to say that you can run both the  applications without any issues on the machine, there shouldnt be any  catalog corruptions issues in running them both.

  • New iPod wants me to uninstall previous version.  Will I lose my music?

    I lost my 2 G nano, just got a 30 G to replace it. My library on my computer is full of good stuff, subscriptions to podcasts, etc. When I try to install the software from the disk that came with my new unit, it tells me to uninstall the previous version of the software before I can load the software for the new unit. Is there a chance that my library, etc will be erased when I uninstall the old software?
    Any help would be appreciated. Please also reply to [email protected]

    Hello
    There is not a such 100% sure in this world, so I suggest that you have all the back up for your music files, if you do not want to run any risk before upgrade.
    It may have a chance that some unexpected thing happen during the upgrade such as power being cut off, the iPod cable get accidently plug off etc.
    Normally, the update of iTunes and iPod updater to the latest version, would not erase your music files, unless you do the Restore on iPod updater for your iPod. The software will give you the warning !!
