Can CS4 be used (easily) to edit docs created in newer versions?

I have recently created a series of documents for work using the newest InDesign trial version. My trial is up, and now my boss and I are trying to figure out what to buy. We are a small non profit, with a pretty tight budget, and so my boss would prefer we buy an older version (the complete CS4 sells for under $500) and have the whole suite for one price rather than pay yearly for just one product (InDesign). We are currently only using InDesign, but would make use of Photoshop if we could afford it as well. I should note that we are not making anything terribly complicated, but may hire someone down the line with greater skills than I have.
I have three concerns about this:
1. Opening files created in newer versions — since our trial has ended, we now longer have access to the newer version of InDesign to "downsave" our files.
2. My computer is a Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.3, so I don't know if CS4 will work.
3. Will files created in CS4 be able to be opened in newer versions should we hire a designer with access to more updated software?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks!

1.       Correct.
2.       Maybe…maybe not. CS4 is unsupported.
3.       That should not be an issue.
You should note that CS4 has not been sold through any legitimate channel in quite a few years. The likelihood of buying a genuine copy of CS4 is very low.

How can I start using Oracle Express Edition

Good afternoon, how can I start using Oracle Express Edition? I have it installed it but I can not enter any user or key that allows me to manage the program from the Internet. I have understood that this version is free.

Hi
During installation wizard asked you about password for SYS and SYSTEM user, you had to set it. If you forgot you can loggin to ORACLE via SQL plus without password:
c:\>SQLPLUS / sys as sysdba
after connect you can set new password for any user, for example (SYSTEM user):
ALTER USER SYSTEM identified by NEW_PASSWORD;
After this you can login to APEX (Internet enviroment)
Remember Oracle it's not only Internet frontend, it's huge tools with many functions. If you need study Oracle you need many time and zest but it is worth-while.
Yes Oracle XE is free (read licence agreement).

Why can't I create a new version of a photo edited in an external application, without Aperture making a new copy of the newly created Tiff?

When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created. This makes total sense and I understand why.
When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop. I understand why this is necessary too. So far so good.
But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff. I can't see why this is necessary. Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff. It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Kirby,
I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one. I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.

My garageband can't be used because when I open a project (new or old) the program extends beyond the bottom of the display screen and I can't access what is below the bottom of the screen (like the record button). I know there's a simple fix, but what?

two things to try: either click the green "zoom" bottom at the topLeft of the window in the title bar, or go to your System Prefs and then Displays, and increase the resolution that is used

It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
An apple id without password is not possible.

Thanks x

You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

Is there a way to make Aperture NOT create a new version w/ Brush editing?

I have been messing around with the dodge and burn plug in. Is there a way to make it so it doesn't create a new version when I edit with the plug in, but rather just edits the existing file?

nope ... not at this juncture ...
all the current plug-ins work on a rendered .tiff (or .psd) ...

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.

Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

How can I maintain the classification in UI when creating a new BP?

SAP CRM 2007 (UI)
Hi,
In SAP GUI the classification can be maintained in tab classification.

Hi Anand,
thanks for your prompt answer.
By default all ship-to-parties are assigned to classification Customer. How can we assign a different classification to ship-to-parties in UI? The view Account classification seems to be different from the tab classification in SAP GUI.

Why can't I click on "Create AAC New Version"??

I'm trying to create a ringtone on the latest iTunes... but when I go to File > Create A New Version it gives me options that are "un-clickable"
It says
Create iPod or iPhone Version
Create iPad or Apple TV Version
Create ACC Version
But I can't click any of them for some reason?
And its not a song from iTunes itself, so its not ACC protected or anything. Its only 21 seconds.
Any solutions to this problem ?

with your Itunes open and playing, select view from the task bar, click visuilzar> there are abunch of different choices

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
