Re: Trying to redownload CS6 from a time machine backup on mac osx but it won't open.

You can follow the article to uninstall.

Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

If that does not work then the uninstaller is corrupted so you can manually drag the applications to trash.

Delete the following folders:

[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore

[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD

[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps

[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup

**** Delete these folders only if there is no other version of Adobe software is installed on this machine.

Repair Disk Permissions.

/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app

Select the start up disk and click on repair permissions.

Restart and then install again.

You can download CS6 from here:
