Can Pagemaker 7.0.1 co-exist peacefully with Indesign cs4 on same hard drive?

I have pm701 running just nicely here, using win xp. I am now ready to install idcs4, but pm701 must continue to perform properly for many months yet. (my logic being that the time will come one day when pm701 will not function properly anymore.. i.e. newer operating system... trying to be pro-active here, without shooting myself either) Is there any issue/ conflict to anticipate? please and thanks

As you're using Win XP rather than Vista or 7 then, unless I'm mistaken, PM7 should coexist quite happily with InDesign CS4 as with any other prog as it is installed in its own unique folder.
Bear in mind that PM files can be opened by InDesign. The results are usually usable with either major or minor work needed depending on issues such as missing fonts, text formating, missing links and so on. As InDesign can do everything PM can do and more, you may just find yourself needing PM less and less!

Can I have two identical PCs with clones of the same hard drive?

This all started when I had a problem with my first pc, a gateway laptop, would not wake up from sleep due to, supposedly, a driver problem. I didn't want to send it off for my free, under-warrantee, repair and be without a computer for however long that
would take. So I bought another one and took it to a local dealer to clone the hard drive of the first one to put on the new one.
This created a number of odd problems which eventually I figured out had something to do, it seemed, with Microsoft not allowing two identical machines to exist like that. I only plan to use one, the other one being exclusively for backup or in case something
happened to the first. But I think the problems occurred when I tried to switch back and forth, to do some texting.
Is there a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks.

Until Windows 7, it was possible to use two identical PCs with same clone. Provided, both the PCs must be legally licensed to use the Windows operating system (version as well as edition) and of same OEM, model and spec. This is possible because, the product
keys are common for all the PCs of same OEM build (if preinstalled, and the installed product key is different from the one mentioned in COA). This made OEM builders to distribute to more PCs than the license agreement, which is impossible for Microsoft to
find out. To solve this issue, Microsoft changed the licensing structure from Windows 8 - embedding the product key in BIOS. So, here, only the installation is provided and the product keys are not common for all the PCs even if they are of the same OEM build.
Therefore, cloning fails here. And naturally, as Team Zigzag and EC Ltd say, same product key can't be used for more than one PC.
As to restore the PC in case of an emergency, you can perform a backup of the existing installed software and user files, which can be restored later (File History in Windows 8). The following links may be helpful:

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do it, but it's not recommended to use a Time Machine volume to store other files. In this case, you can create a second volume on the external drive, so you will be able to use it to store data and transfer it to other PCs.
As you are going to use the external drive with other PCs, you can make the volume and format it in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Finally, you will be able to copy files to the external drive.
If you copy files to a Time Machine disk, you may damage the Time Machine file structure, so you shouldn't do it. It may not happen, but it's better not to try that. Also, you won't be able to read the Time Machine drive in a PC

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and i can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and I can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help? I can find the mail folder in my libraries, but the Restore Button is grayed out

OSX treats the reformatted drive as a different one; it's the same as replacing it, and the old one is no longer connected.
See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see and restore from the "old" drive.
And, you may not want to restore via the Finder; see the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Time Machine appears to be doing back-ups, but they do not appear on the external hard drive. The last one I can find is June 30. I did a utility scan of the hard drive disk and it is fine.

Click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar. The time of the last backup is shown in the drop down.

I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive?

I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive thru the Apple Replacement Program? I did purchase the Applecare Plan but it expired in Dec. 2013.

FWIW, if you purchased the iMac in 2011 and purchased Applecare, you are covered for a total of 3 years. You mentioned yours expired in December 2013 - that cannot be unless you bought yours in 2010. If you bought it in December 2011, you should still be covered until December 2014 - if so, contact Apple/make a Genius Bar appointment quickly so the replacement is covered by the warranty. The hard drive replacement program might have expired, but as long as you're covered by Applecare, a drive replacement is covered.

I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion.
I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted the folder off my desktop - and following this - things started to go all weird...pages hanging, the coloured 'wheel of death' appeared for ages. So i had to employ a 'hard-boot' restart - as i had not other options.
I'm pretty sure i made copies of of files/apps/folders etc - however not so sure now as i cant even start up my laptop!!!
Can somebosy please help me urgently??!!!

Got the exact same problem, and I also did this operation many times before, from 500Gb to 750Gb, and then from 750Gb to 1 Gb. Not My HD got a little such complaining about bad sectors when in windows bootcamp, but still runs fine though.
So I bought a new 1Gb drive exactly same drive as the one thats getting sick. I did the clone thing, with super duper, CCC, DU, but no matter it will not boot when i move the new drive inside the macbook…….**** thing exuse me, but wasted so much time.
Now I get this strange feeling that something must have changed in the macbook itself. Just wondering if this could be a EFI "mac bios" prevention thing, they made just to sell more new computers, when you can't improve or fix your old one.
If so, then its pretty scary. If not then I simply can't figure out why this suddenly becomes a problem for so many people, as I see so many posts about this!!

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

Yes, because the startup disk is read from the boot rom, not the Hard Disk.

I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago. I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

i have 1TB hard drive i cant drag or sent to it although i can view it on my desk top do i need to format the hard drive ? please advise

If the format is NTFS, which it likely is, then follow Ralph's advice, but youmay also want to partition it with GUID partition table.
In Disk Utility, select the drive, then Partiiton tab.
Choose 1-partition from the popup menu.
Click the Options button (it is only enabled if you change the partition layout, above).
Select GUID partition table.
Then, give the drive a Name and format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you wish to use the drive with Windows, use MSDOS or exFAT. MSDOS will limit files sizes to 2GB. Some think exFAT is flakey.

How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in the Library module?

The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new storage location for each image concerned.
