Why do I have two copies of CC apps?

The recent CC update installed a second copy of all the CS6 apps on my Windows 8 PC.
I've read Terry White's Blog of the subject and I understand - more or less - Adobe's rationale.
My question has to do with licensing.
I bought my copy of CS6 through Studica - which Adobe uses to provide the software to non-profit organizations.
We bought it with a one-time payment and were told that we would get subsequent updates.
Now I have two copies of each of the programs - the original one I downloaded and the new CC version.
I have just been ignoring the CC versions since I just use the ones I initially installed.
However, from time to time I have a new app or plug in that wants to load automatically and wants to open the CC version, not the
original. I can't see a way to get it to point to the original version.
I get a CC screen that asks if I want to buy it or do a trial. I don't want to do either and I fear that if I start down that road
I'll have to start paying a subscription fee - which what I avoided with the non-profit version purchase.
So, can in UNinstall the CC version of all the CS6 apps and, if I can, can I prevent any future CC updates like this and just
get updates for my original non-subscription versions?

CTNKnoblock you can remove the CC versions and continue to utilize the Creative Suite 6 license and applications already installed on your computer. You can find details on how to remove the CC versions at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
If you do receive a message that your Creative Suite 6 is in trial mode then choose the License this Software option and enter your Adobe ID and serial number.
Finally if you wish to install a fresh copy of Creative Suite 6 you can download the installation files at Download CS6 products.

Can you have two copies of Encore CS6 running on the same computer?

I'd love to be able to have two copies of Encore on the same computer. While one copy is encoding and burning, I'd love to get another project started and encoding on the same computer and maybe, if possible, even start burning to a separate external burner. But first, I'd love to just be able to have two copies of Encore open on the same computer. I tried copying the Encore CS6 folder to a different drive and then running it but it says there's another Encore in session and this may cause issues with the hardware.

Thanks!

I can't imagine Encore being able to run 2 instances.
Build from Encore to an image (iso), and get ImgBurn. You can run multiple instances of ImgBurn and burn as many DVD/BDs as you have burners (including externals via USB or whatever). Send him a donation; his product is fantastic.

How do I fix syncing issues between my iTouch and iTunes? My iTouch shows I have two copies of one song but on iTunes it shows I have one copy. I only purchased one copy too so where did the second copy come from?

Yesterday I purchased a few albums and CDs from iTunes to my iTouch. After charging my iTouch, I noticed some of the songs weren't there. So I checked my iTunes and they were still downloading so I synced them up to each other. For the 1st hour, there was only one copy of the song. Later on, when I hooked up my iTouch to see if my info corresponded to iTunes, I saw that there was additional copies of the same song on a few albums and some copies of individual songs. I didn't purchase them twice either. Now I have two copies on my iTouch but not my iTunes so I can't delete the additional copy.

Right now, I tried deleting all of the music and resyncing it from my iTunes directly to my iTouch. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Why do I have multiple copies of Pages

I should say that this is not specifically related to Pages, I have multiple copies of all the iWorks apps on my computer but because I could not find a general iWorks forum I decided just to post about Pages with the asumption that it would be the same for the other iWorks apps.
I have the pre-update iWork 09 version 4.5 that was installed from Disk when i first bought my Mac. I have since upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and upgraded pages (and iWorks) to the new iCloud versions 5.2
When I go into my Applications folder, I see a subfolder in there called iWork 09, and in that folder is the old 4.5 versions, but I also see the new versions of the apps as seperate apps in my Applications folder.
See pictures
Basically all I want to know is if I App Delete the old iWorks 09 versions, will it affect my access to the updated versions, because it seems to me like I have two sets of iWorks apps (one old and one new) and of course I only need the new one

iWork 09's Pages is version 4.3. Yes you have to versions. They hare 2 different applications with the samme name. I wouldn't delete iWork 09 as it has about 100 more features than Pages has. But if you have it on a disk you can as you always have to possbility to install it again from the disk.

Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.

How to activate a purchased standalone Lightroom 6 when I already have two copies of Lightroom CC activated.

I have two copies of Lightroom CC installed and working OK. I've purchased a separate, standalone copy of Lightroom 6 for a laptop. When I attempt to install it, the installer says I can't because I already have two copies installed via CC. Is the solution to install the standalone copy with my CC login turned off, and use a different username, etc.?

You need to install the standalone one using a different Adobe ID. Create a new one for it.

Hi there J1750oe,

iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??
I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

Figured it out. Thanks.

Why do I see two copies of every photo when I sync my iPhone or iPad with iPhoto?

Whenever i plug in my iPhone to sync, iPhoto automatically opens.
There are always two copies of every photo I have taken since my last sync. I have to throw one out before syncing.
Why is that?
