Just installed Sequoia 15.3.2 and updated CC apps – How do I uninstall old versions of apps?

[Supernaut63]

Hey all,

I just upgraded my Mac OS to Sequoia 15.3.2 and after doing this launched Creative Cloud and saw that I needed to update my Adobe Programs, which I did. My question is, after going into my Applications folder I see that I have older versions (2021) of Illustrator (25.4.8) , InDesign (16.4.3), and Photoshop (22.5.9). I would think I should get rid of these, as I now have 2025 versions of them in my Applications folder. What should I do?

uninstall them if they're not needed.

[Supernaut63]

Any special way?

I don't want to lose my older Preferences on the newly installed versions.

[kglad]

preferences will remain if you opt for that.

Got it. Thanks. Deleted the older apps, but maybe I should not have done that.

Why? In Illustrator, I'm no longer seeing the Pantone Color Books under Window > Swatch Libraries > Color Books. What happened? Where did they go? And how am I supposed to work with Pantone Colors in Illustrator now, as I need them for the jobs I am doing.

[kglad]

ask in the illustrator forum.

[Supernaut63]

I did.

No one has responded.

I can't find your thread in the Illustrator forum, but Pantone has been removed:

Thank you, Peru Bob.

I forgot I had a backup of the old Illustrator on my Time Machine, and used your 2nd link above to put the Pantone Color Books back into the new Illustrator. I have occasionally been asked to use Pantone colors that are not in these old books, so I guess I will be purchasing the Pantone Connect plugin soon. I assume after I do this I will have to remove the old Pantone files I just moved over?

Also, how difficult is it to get this Pantone Connect plugin running in the new Illustrator?

I hate installing stuff. I'm a software guy (technical illustrator)...not good with system stuff.
