I'm trying to install indesign 2.0 on macbook pro - help!!!
I'm trying to install indesign 2.0 on macbook pro (10.6.8, 2.66ghz, corei7, 8gb). Everytime I try to install it from the CD, the install software crashes. Any help would be really appreciated!
thanks

Is this ID 2 or ID CS2. I would not be at all surprised if ID 2 would not work or install, that is ancient software. It came our in 2002 and was the first version to support OS X. InDesign CS 2 came out in 2005. It is not intel native. It is quite long in the tooth. This is probably the last chance to update to CS 5.5 without purchasing a new version from scratch. That doesn't really solve your problem. I'd suspect either you have too much RAM or the problem is you might be booting using a 64-bit kernel. Can you check to see if your machine can boot with the 32-bit kernel.

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?
Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer. -
I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?
Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education. -

I tried to install windows 7 in my macbook pro late 2011 but i tried to create partions after it installed and it turn to dynamic disks and i can't access mac or win 7 what should I do i cant format it because i dont have a backup
It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.
Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway. -
Installing indesign 4 on a macbook Pro Retina Display
I am trying to install InDesign on a MacBook Pro retina display running Maverick, but the Adobe Creative Suite 4 show all the applications to install EXCEPT InDesign.
Any Ideas how I can get the program on my newer Mac?CS4 is unsupported under Mavericks and your applications, if you can get them installed and running, are likely to look horrible on that retina display.

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?
Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3.
Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
It partitioned my hard drive - success!
But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
Help please!!!
I suspect the problem is either:
a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
or
b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
Select Run as Administrator
Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
Click on Start
Enter cmd in the search box
Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

Trying to install final cut on my macbook pro. HELP!!!!!!
hello
i have a macbook pro. i am trying to install final cut. when i put the disc in and follow the prompts, it tells me that my computer no longer supports this power pc application. if i download os x mountain lion, will i be able to install final cut on my laptop? i think the problem has something to do with something called rosetta. but im not totally sure. does mountain lion have anything to do with rosetta?What version of Final Cut do you have?
There are versions that are Intel, but the installer is a PowerPC app. I have Final Cut Express 3.x and it is working on Lion and ML. If you have a working version of Final Cut on a Mac with Snow Leopard, you can manually copy all necessary files from there to your new Mac - that is how I got it to work (my installer is PPC also). Following are the instructions that I followed (although they are for deletion, it does not matter - it gives all the locations, so I just copied the files to an external and put them in the exact same spots on the new iMac):

o.k. So, I've been tinkering with several "self help" fixes for several days now with no positive results. I'll explain my initial problems and then end with my most current situation. In hopes that someone out there will have a good suggestion or possibly remedy for the issues i'm facing
First, my problem started after my wife played a game on my macbook pro and the computer froze. She went into a panic and decided to shut down via power button. When computer restarted she got the blinking file/grey screen and that problem continued for a couple of days before I began using steps from various support topics from apple concerning the grey screen/blinking file folder.
Ultimately, yesterday I decided to erase my Macintosh HD file as one tip suggested. Following the brief online and on screen (via the process) tips that were there. Once that was completed I attempted to reinstall snow leopard (my most current version on hand) into the pc.
At first, I thought this would work. It looked promising. But, after several hours the installation screen returned with failure. I attempted to repeat. And, even repair drives during this try and re-try process.
Now, today, one of the drives.. "hitachi..." states that it's failing and is in red letters with no ability to repair via the disc utility screen. The Macintosh HD drive shows that it's o.k. But, this drive is listed under the HItachi drive so I think that's where a problem might lay.
So, I guess my question really revolves around.. What if anything can I do to get the hitachi drive back up? (short of taking it to a repair facility and replacing.)
And, how on earth can i get my OSX back up to I have a laptop again.
Operating on a macbook pro here. It's my lifeline. Otherwise, I am using a Windows desktop that i'm not that fond of. lol
I'm trying to bring this 2006 laptop back to life. Trying to avoid a rather expensive repair or the purchase of a new laptop. Also expensive...
Any help would be appreciated.Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point. -
Trying to install downloaded Leopard on my macbook pro intel core duo
I purchased Leopard from a third party site in which it was downloaded. I'm wondering if I can install it on my Macbook Pro? Everytime I open it is says to restart in order to install but it takes me back to my desktop everytime. The only reason I'm upgrading is because I purchased some photoshop extras and in order to utilize them I need 10.5 or 10.6. I don't want to upgrade to 10.6 and I'm not quite sure if I can.
To elaborate on William's point above about the software likely being pirated: Apple never, ever sells "downloadable" versions of its software. (Updates are provided via download, but full releases are available on DVD media only.) No reseller should be offering such a download for sale.
Plus, you cannot install a Mac OS onto a hard disk that is the boot drive for that computer. So if you downloaded a version of OS 10.5 onto your Tiger (10.4) computer, you could not run the installer. A running system can't upgrade itself. That's why you must have the software on DVD and boot from that DVD. (There are other ways--sharing DVDs across a wireless network or booting from an external drive.)
For now, call Apple sales (1 800 MY APPLE in the US) and purchase a legal, on-DVD copy of OS 10.5--they are still making and selling them. -
Cannot install Adobe Air on new MacBook Pro - Help!
I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I am trying to install a program from Real Networks called Rinse (cleans up your iTunes). When installing Rinse, I get a message that says the program requires Adobe Air and that I will need to download and install it. I have downloaded the Adobe Air install program from the Adobe site, however when I go to install it, it either does nothing at all---or it gives me an error message that I need Adobe Air in order to install Adobe Air (makes no sense). Specifically, I get the message below:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
Please download the latest version of the runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair,
or contact the application author for an updated version.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Hi,
I would recommend you try downloading Adobe Air from this link : Get Adobe Air.
You will have to manually select the operating system and version before you begin the download.
If you continue to have the same issue, I would recommend that you post it in the Adobe Air Forums.
Thanks -
