Can I upgrade an upgrade version of IDCS2 to IDCS3?

Hello. My company started off back in the day with Creative Suite and then to move on our ID we purchased upgrade versions of ID CS2. Can I now purchase an upgrade to CS3 or do we need to start afresh? What I'm asking really is can I upgrade an upgrade?
Many thanks
Helen

Yes, you can upgrade and upgrade. We started back with Illy 7 (or 6, I'm not sure) and have been upgrading ever since.
Unless things have changed (and if I remember correctly), If CS2 is currently installed on the machine you are upgrading, then you should be good; the upgrade will find the previous valid installation. If it is a new machine, or one with no Adobe installation, you will need to have the original media or product key on hand (I don't remember which--and that's ORIGINAL, not the last upgrade) for validation purposes during the install.
In either case, you will need any new product key supplied with the upgrade.

How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4

How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4?

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be very prudent if you to backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected Mac formatted hard drive. Then use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR use a data cloning app to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple from a company which got bought out, I believe by Micrsoft and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of OS X Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

Can I upgrade version 5.5 to 6.5?

Hello,
I'm only basic on computers so please forgive my ignorance. Is it possible to upgrade from After Effects version 5.5 to 6.5? How do I do it? Does it cost? Do I pay shipping and get a CD or is it a download? Must I have the old version installed or just get an entire new one with my old codes?
Thanks!!!

First, we need to clear something up: Are you talking about AE VERSION 5.5, or are you talking about AE CS 5.5? AE CS 5.5 is actually VERSION 10.5.
If you're talking AE CS 5.5, you can only upgrade to AE CS6; there is no 6.5. Yes, it will cost you; I'm not sure of the amount. AE CS 6 is the last version available for purchase; the newer Creative Cloud versions are rental-only. AE CS 6 is available only by download, and you have to search very carefully for it -- Adobe would prefer that people use the newer versions, so locating CS6 is more of a chore than locating the new version.
Both AE CS 5.5 and AE CS 6 can co-exist peacefully on your computer. There is no need to remove 5.5.

Can't Upgrade Versions

I got a Powerbook G4 to replace my desktop computer, and I want to switch my Final Cut Pro software over to the new computer. I have version 1, and the upgrade to version 3.
I can install v. 1 on my computer, but since FCP is not supported by Classic, I cannot open the program to register it. Thus, when I try to upgrade to v. 3 it tells me I need to use an original CD, not an upgrade CD, because it cannot detect a registered full version of the software.
Does anyone know how I can either register Final Cut Pro 1 in Classic mode, or use the upgrade CD without having a registered version installed on my computer?
Thanks,
Isaac

The best way is to contact apple for a replacement disk, but I'd probably boot the powerbook in target mode, hook it to your desktop, copy a System Folder to it. Your desktop should be able to boot into OS9 from the powerbook in target mode to install v3 onto in, no?

Can I install the latest version of FF on Windows 7 Starter

Can I upgrade version 6.0.2 to the current version - 22 I believe, on a netbook running Win 7 starter? I have an Atom N450 processor @1.66 gHz and 2 MB RAM with about 40 GB left on my HD. Can I do the upgrade with that configuration? Will it be faster than the version I have now?
Thanks!

No issue - I just wanted to be sure I could do it before I even tried. Wondered if my system was going to be up to handling the newest FF. But no - no install issue - yet!

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

How can I stop Firefox from automatically upgrading? My on-line college is not compatible with the upgraded version. I have to keep uninstalling the new one and reinstalling the old one.

It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade irectly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks

I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. can I upgrade directly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks?

As long as your MacBook Pro is in the ML compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs it is compatible with Mavericks and you can go directly to Mavericks.

Can I upgrade from Firefox 3 (updated newest version) to Firefox 4 and keep my bookmarks and settings or will I lose them if I upgrade ?

I want to upgrade to the new Firefox 4 from my Firefox 3. But I don't want to lose my settings, tags and bookmarks that I have now. So my question is: Can I upgrade without losing these ?
Please Help !

Firefox 4 will by default use the same profile folder (location where bookmarks, passwords etc are stored) as previously installed versions. You will not lose your user data by upgrading.

I can't uninstall Firefox version 11 from my MAC, nor can I upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox.

I believe that I have a corrupted version of Firefox. I have followed the procedures both for removal and for upgrade that are posted in the support forums, and neither are effective for me.
I do not have a conventional Firefox icon on my screen, rather I have a grey question mark. When I attempt to deposit that question mark icon in my wastebasket, it just bounces back out.
When I have tried to upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox (and I've been trying to upgrade with each new iteration of Firefox from version 12 to the current version 32), I receive an error message that I can run only one version of Firefox, and the upgraded version is rejected in favor of version 11.
Additionally, Firefox version 11 blocks me from adding any other programs onto my Mac. I want to get rid of version 11. How can I do it?

Dear ideato--Thank you for your suggestion. While I was able to drag a shadow of the Firefox icon from the applications folder to the dock and drop it into the wastebasket, the icon remains in the applications folder and Firefox version 11 is still on my computer blocking every attempt to add a program or to upgrade to the current version of Firefox. The question mark is still on the dock, too. Regards--DavidK126

I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe!

Can I upgrade from iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion? or iPhoto '09...

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?

You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library.

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?
