Why are there two versions of Photoshop (CC

After accidentally opening two parts of the same website in DW CC and DW 2014 CC, I uninstalled the older version. Can someone tell me WHY the new version didn't overwrite the older one? I assume that it is necessary to uninstall older versions, but this should be automatic on the upgrade shouldn't it?. What is the reason for this? Kind of interested because it was unexpected.
Years ago when upgrading from CS3 we discovered that the Photoshop PDF function could no longer make PDFs with pages in newer versions CS4 and CS5 (which clients wanted) so I have kept my CS3 Photoshop pgm just for making PDFs, while running the latest version for everything else. Is it possible that Adobe depreciated some functions in this new release of CC2014 and that is the reason for both versions of CC? Just putting it out there, I don't spend my vacations in Roswell, NM or anything like that.
Thanks!
John

Adobe, why are you making things so complicated...
People pay for the cloud, so they want improvement, they want to go with the latest tools automatically.
I'm a spoiled Mac user, where Apple always overwrites old apps, which is the most user friendly solution there is.
Please do this as well, because it truly sucks to have two apps!
Could you tell me how I get rid of the old version on a user friendly way, so my documents open with the new app.
Thanks in advance.

Why are there two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in my Programs

I understand the annoyance and confusing issues with CC and CC 2014 programs. I also have read in the community of Acrobat installing twice purposely?
My question is all my CC (or CC 2013) programs installed around early Feb. The newer CC 2014 programs updated (or installed) around late June of 2014. I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro listed in my programs, are they two different versions? The one installed in Feb shows ver 11.0, the one showing installed mid August is showing as ver 11.0.08.
Can I uninstall ver 11.0? or are these both purposely installed by Adobe. If purposely, why is Adobe making their installs and updates so confusing and VERY annoying??
Thanks for any suggestions!

There isn't. One is Acrobat, the application installation. The other is Acrobat's Creative Cloud licensing installation. Do NOT try to remove one.
This is kind of documented in the Creative Cloud's Acrobat deployment documentation: Creative Cloud Help | Deploying Adobe Acrobat
Uninstalling Acrobat on Windows
Once you have deployed Acrobat using the package in the Exceptions folder, you can uninstall it using the usual process for uninstalling msi packages. There are two MSI packages that are necessary to uninstall in a standalone package. One for the main MSI package that the Creative Cloud Packager creates which is for licensing and the second MSI package which is the Acrobat Pro MSI package which is in the Exceptions folder.
Here is the command line syntax for uninstalling Acrobat:
Syntax Example:
msiexec.exe /x <path to Acrobat msi file> /qn
Here is the command line syntax for uninstalling the Creative Cloud Packager licensing package:
Syntax Example:
msiexec.exe /uninstall <path to the CCP msi file> /quiet

Why are there two versions of flash player on my laptop?

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional which seems to handle both 32 and 64 bit software. I use Firefox as my default browser and use MSIE only when I must.
A Flash update failed so I checked the uninstall programs list thinking I'll just uninstall and reinstall the latest.
Huh? I found both "Flash Player 10 Active X" and "Flash Player 11 Plugin 64 bit." Now I've no clue what failed to upgrade nor why there are two versions. Why 10 AND 11 and why is one called "Active X" while the other is called "Plugin".
And, to confuse me further, there is also Adobe AIR. I don't know what or why or how to deal with all of these. Would somebody kindly explain?
And, how do I figure out what update to which failed?
frustratedfrequently

The ActiveX Flash Player is used by Internet Explorer and the plug-in Flash Player is used by Firefox.
Download the following files:
Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
Flash Player for Internet Explorer
Flash Player for other browsers
Close the browser and disconnect from the Internet. Run the uninstaller and restart Windows.
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Windows Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ system, has been deleted.
Run both installers.

Why are there two updates for Photoshop

CC desktop shows updates for:
Photoshop CC
Photoshop CC (2014)
What are the differences?

Because apparently it is programmed deep, deep into Adobe's DNA that they cannot possibly manage to come up with a straightforward, clean, and logical installation process. It is demonstrably beyond what's possible for Adobe. I say that based on years and years of dealing with their byzantine, buggy, and bloated installers. The Cloud was supposed to magically make things better.
I also now have two versions of After Effects, Audition, Flash, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Muse, and Photoshop residing on my computer.
Why?
Well, because the Creative Cloud installer didn't really "update" the current software...it just installed new versions next to the old ones.
Why?
Beats the hell out of me. But I'm pretty sure if I expend my time to contact Adobe's support folks I will be told to go through some process of manually removing each copy of the old software. They won't know why the "upgrade" process worked this way, and they won't care. They'll just cheerfully advise me to waste my time cleaning up Adobe's mess. Again.
Looking forward to the day I no longer need to use Adobe products.
Are you listening, Apple?

Why are there two versions of a graphic in Muse?

I see MUSE makes a second copy of all graphics and renames them like this
original name is showcase-a-item-d.jpg
MUse ads this
showcase-a-item-d-u678-fr.jpg
WHY?

Please don't discourage your fellow forum members from attempting to help others. This is first and foremost a user forum. Thanks.
There are many cases that could result in Muse creating a second copy of an image. If the image is used at different sizes on different pages Muse may chose to export two different sizes to improve the page load time for the page with the smaller image. In the case of a slideshow with thumbnails, Muse will create separate images for the thumbnails if they are signifcantly smaller than the hero images (since loading the hero images may take quite awhile and it would cause the thumbnails to be very slow to appear if separate thumbnail images were not used). In the case of some effects (esp. bevel and inner glow, but in some cases also outer glow and drop shadow) Muse will combine the effect into the image in order to achieve a consistent appearance across all popular browsers.
If you provide the URL for a specific example of what you're seeing, I'm sure we can explain what's occurring and why.

Are there two versions of ipod (like US version, and EU version) or is there just one worldwide?

Are there two versions of ipod (like US version, and EU version) or is there just one worldwide?
I want to buy an ipod touch 5 from ebay (i'm from croatia) and i'm woried is there just one model that is worldwide or are there a few models ( like US and EU)?????

Some features like FaceTime (prohibited in some middle eastern countries, lower volume limit is EU countries) is controlled by a unique identifier on the iPod based on where the iPod was officially sold, I would avoid getting one officially sold in a middle eastern country. A non-EU one would also be better too

On the ones that show up with Phoenix as the time zone the times change. Also I have had some of the times showing on the calendar at an hour different that when I open the Appointment. It will show the correct time, but on the Calendar it is sometimes different. "
From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year. When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not. You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

Why are there two separate JWS forums?

There's this forum and http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=45 - shouldn't they be merged? Why are there two? Which one is the "official" one?

This forum, (the java developers forums) pre-date javadesktop.org, and as can be seen by the total thread count (5000+ threads vs 64 topics) has a lot more activity on the yopic of Java Web Start.
Javadesktop.org was created in 2003, and since it has much overlap with generic java development they also created a thread in their forum for Java Web Start.

Have Audigy2 in Vista, why are there two volume control icons in system tr

Hi,
I'm running an Audigy2 on a Windows Vista system. There are two volume control icons in the system tray. One is the Soundblaster control, the other is the Windows control.
Are these two programs supposed to be running at the same time? Do they conflict with one another?
Thanks for your time,
Big Al Mintaka

Hi pgaastra. I don't know why there are two items in the task bar, but you have identified the
recommended fix. The why never bothered me enough to investigate, so maybe we will both
find out now.

Why are there two 10.5.1 Updates?

Why is there a smaller one and a larger, 110 MB one, and how do I know that I need to do the larger one? If you look at the "Permissions Warnings" post below, I am having a list of warnings when I do Verify Permissions. This is my only problem. Everything else works fine, so I don't want to mess up my computer. But I also don't know if these warnings are bad.
Why would Apple put out two updates? How do I know if I updated the bigger or smaller one? Please help!!!

Why are there different versions of Firefox 28.0 for Windows

I have a desktop PC running Windows 7 and a laptop running Windows 8.1. I set them both up with Firefox, and they both have Firefox 28.0 installed at the moment.
However, while the desktop version is a plain 28.0, the laptop declares itself to be 28.0 EU ballot. (yes, it probably was loaded via the browser choice facility in Windows).
Is there any actual code difference between the versions, and if not, why confuse me by identifying them differently?
The difference came to my attention while i was investing a problem with a mapping program on the UK's national government mapping services website, which runs fine on the desktop, but stalls while loading on the laptop. The Ordnance Survey say that they are working on fixing a problem introduced by Firefox 28.0, so I started looking at the differences between my two machines.

Sorry, perhaps I was unclear. The OS have not, to my knowledge, published anything regarding the problem with Getamap - the information came in an email reply to a support call I raised when I encountered the hang. Here is the text of that reply.
Dear ************,
Thank you for contacting Ordnance Survey regarding OS getamap.
The latest update to Mozilla Firefox has effected users trying to access OS getamap. We are currently working on a solution to resolve the issue. Presently you should be able to access OS getamap with Internet Explorer.
I hope this information has been helpful.
Kind regards,

Why are there two ns-httpd processes running for one instance of iws 6

Hi all,
I'm used to iWS 4.x where there's only one watchdog and one ns-httpd process running for any given install of iWS. Now in iWS 6.x I noticed there are two processes for the admin server and two processes for the actual single web server instance, along with two watchdogs.
What are the extra web server instances doing? I noticed that there is a 'parent' relationship with the pid's, so I guess one is spawning the other, but why? If it's to have persistent state over restart, isn't that what uxwdog is for?
Thanks in advance,
James Huang

Why are there two full size copies of my pictures on my hard drive?

My hard drive contains one full size copy in each of these two folders:
"Home->Pictures"
"Home->Pictures->iPhoto Library->Originals"
I come to understand that the iPhoto Library file is the main file that iPhoto recognizes. However, I would like to avoid two full size copies of my pictures if possible. Any ideas?
FYI, my early attempts at organizing my pictures in iPhoto led me to switch to alias mode and retransfer my orginals folder to iPhoto (as repaeatedely suggested in discussion forums).
-Doug

As Terence pointed out those files may be the "source" files for those early imports where the copy to library option was not selected. You might try the AppleScripts described and linked to in these threads. I haven't used them so make a temporary backup of your iPhoto LIbrary folder and the other photo files before trying them.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3981086#3981086
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
