Does CS4 installation disable all CS3 software currently installed.

I am posting this topic on both mac and PC sides of the ID forum.
I am pursuing an upgrade to CS4 and a sales guy at Adobe told me that all my CS3 products won't work anymore once I install CS4. That sounds WAY off base to me, but I think he was trying to scare me into buying Master Collection.
Also, I have CS3 Master Collection. But I only need to upgrade to InDesign CS4. Is it true that I can't only upgrade just ONE product in a suite? (I know what Adobe is telling me, but I wanted to check with the end users who also have to personally fork out the big bucks for this software.) Thanks to any of you who can offer insight on this issue.

The CS4 installer doesn't touch the CS3 installation with one exception.
On the Windows side (not sure about Mac) it will uninstall and earlier
version of Acrobat.
Other than that you'll have two fully function applications.
And no...you cannot upgrade single suite applications. That's the deal
you made when you got a huge discount on the suite.

  • I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5? if so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.

    I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5?
    If so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.
    I have moved countries (opposite side of world) so i do not have my install disks, or the disks that came with my Mac.
    Where can i get the 10.5 upgrade from?
    Do i need my original disks that came with my Mac?
    - Thanks if anyone can help
    Note:
    I have never had any problems with my G5, it's been my awesome helper these past 7 years, I can't say the same thing for my new Mac, but it seems now my poor G5 is slowly being made redundent because they no longer write software for it.
    I don't see why i should pay for a new Mac because my old one does not always function on the web, or having a new printer because it does not support the new software.
    My New Mac Laptop has had no end of troubles since i bought it less than a year ago.
    What happened to Mac being a sign of Quality??

    First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system.  First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything.  Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

  • When you buy a macbook pro does it come with all the software you need

    when i purchase a macbook pro with retina display. will it come with all the software i need

    Hi logan_logan,
    Probably all depends on your past experience, but I'm getting a new Macbook Air next week, and I will be purchasing Microsoft Office. I have been using Word and Excel for years, and know all of the tricks, bells, and whistles, so just really don't want to go through a major learning curve to figure out how to use a new word processing and spreadsheet processing system.
    I've had a little experience with Pages on my iPad (which I know is not even a close comparison to what is on the Mac), but I'm just more comfortable with Word.
    So, I'd say depends on whether you want something that you are comfortable with, or something that is a new adventure! What's your pleasure?

  • Do we need all those software pre-installed with N...

    If you look at the application manager after you install V30 firmware, you will see that there are many software pre-installed with it.
    When the phone starts, the main standby screen goes out for a second now, and it is obvious that these programs use alot of phone's resources.
    Do you keep them? Or have you already deleted them? If you have, which ones? Do you think we need them? Or if we deleted them the phone might not work properly?
    I just think that those software use alot of phone's resources. They were not there with V20 or V21.
    Any Suggestions? Thank You.

    I know I have noticed it once or twice but it doesn't bother me really. As long as it only does it on the standby screen and not while watching a video, for example (which is the case as far as I can see), I'm not really sure what the problem is. And yes, the screen does go blank for a second or two at startup, but there too it's only once so it doesn't bother me either.
    A lot of the software can be got rid of. You can start by uninstalling N-gage if you don't have any intention of using it. That will also get rid of a certain number of other things in the application manager. I also got rid of the "Welcome!" application and the "settings wizard". All in all that'll removed about 15MB of stuff.
    This screen refreshing does seem to be doing it only on "Standby Screen." Not during other activities such as watching a video or something. But it is so rare, so nothing really bothering though. I just wanted to let people know not to panic, that's all. You may see it someday.
    About uninstalling software, what about those weird programs like adlib, stuff like that. Do you think I can delete everything on Application Manager?

  • OS X 10.5 Leopard - Installation error message "No software to install"

    Hello,
    I am trying to upgrade my Intel iMac (Early 2006) from OS X 10.4.11 to Leopard OS X 10.5.
    I insert the Leopard DVD and installation begins after restarting. The DVD consistency check runs fine but as soon as installation commences a yellow exclamation mark appears on the screen and informs me that installation could not complete as there is "no software to install".
    - I have checked the DVD for scratches: No scratches.
    - I have changed the RAM: Error messages occur regardless of the RAM configuration. (I have 2 x 1Gb RAM memory sticks installed, from Kingston memory). I went back to the original iMac RAM installed (2 x 512Mb RAM sticks) and the same error message appears.
    I restart the iMac using the Startup disk and return to OS X 10.4.11.
    Any hints on how to get the Leopard installation to work?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Success!
    I moved 21Gb of stored files from the hard drive I was trying to install Leopard on. Went from 29Gb of free space to 50Gb.
    For some reason the OS X 10.5 Leopard installation process liked this and Leopard installed.
    I thought only 9Gb of free space was required to install Leopard?
    Anyway, it worked.
    Excellent. I will be sure to bookmark this thread. One never knows when it may come in handy.
    The answer to your question is a little complicated and has been answered (approximately) elsewhere. Hopefully someone can point you at it.

  • Powershell script to findout all the software products installed in the SharePoint farm

    Hi All,
    Please find the simple and accurate power shell code implemented by me to generate report to get all the softwares installed on each server in the farm.It would be very helpful to create reports at farm level.
    $servers = get-content F:\temp\Servers.txt
    $logfile = "F:\temp\test\AllProductsInstalled.csv"
    Add-content $logfile -value "ServerName,ProductName,Version,vendor,serialnumber"
    foreach ($server in $servers)
    $z = gwmi win32_product -ComputerName $server
    foreach($a in $z)
    add-content $logfile -value "$($a.__server),$($a.name),$($a.Version),$($a.IdentifyingNumber),$($a.vendor)"
    Please provide the all the severnames in the text file "Servers.txt" in above code.

    Why not do it in PowerShell?
    $servers=get-content F:\temp\Servers.txt
    $logfile='F:\temp\test\AllProductsInstalled.csv'
    Get-WmiObject win32_product -ComputerName $servers |
    Select-Object @{N='ServerName';E={$_.__server}},
    @{N='ProductName';E={$_.Name}},
    Version,Vendor,
    @{N='SerialNumber';E={$_.IdentifyingNumber}} |
    Export-Csv $logfile -NoType
    It is much easier to let PowerShell do the work for you.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hello,

    I tried to find if there where any codecs missing with Gspot, but it says all codecs are in place.
    What else can be the problem and how can I solve it?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Jason,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, there is a clearcut answer, with three possible variations.
    First, the Nikon should have their version of the MJPEG CODEC on a utility disc. That CODEC might install via the camera's driver, might be a separate install from the disc, or might install as part of a utility (say an editing program) on that disc. Not sure exactly where it will be located, but I feel confident that Nikon will have provided it. That will be the best, as different camera mfgrs. tweak common CODEC's. Even if you do not plan on using an included utility, you might need to install it, just to get the Nikon MJPEG CODEC. I did that for a Canon, and a Panasonic, and got their specific CODEC's, for their AV files.
    The two variations would be either the Morgan, or MainConcept MJPEG CODEC, which will be a download and install. The weakness of these CODEC's is that they are more general, and might not reflect a Nikon tweak. That is why I mentioned Nikon's version first. It WILL be as good as it gets.
    Good luck, and wish that I knew exactly where the Nikon MJPEG CODEC was located, or what process installed it, but if you find it added, after an installation, I would appreciate if you would update the thread, so that others will then know what to install, to get that CODEC.

  • I'm deploying FF13 in my organization, how can i disable FF from disabling all plugins/extensions by default?

    Our organization requires web services with many plugins. In order to support the latest browsers, we must deploy FF13 company wide. Currently the installation disables all 3rd party plugins by default, requiring you to enable them manually. Therefore, this makes managing a FF13 deployment very difficult. Is there any way to configure it to deploy without it disabling plugins?

    Do you really mean plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) or do you mean extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?
    Firefox shouldn't disable plugins unless they are blacklisted, but will display a dialog that shows which (third-party) extensions are found an allow to enable third party extensions.<br />
    There is probably no way to avoid such an alert, but you can try to copy extensions to the distribution/extensions folder where also the default theme resides.

    It's always a good idea to turn off antivirus scanning when installing a program.

    There is a single installation program for all languages. Choosing an English installation on a non-English operating system should work, but it might create problems if your operating system uses accented characters, such as umlauts, in file and folder names.

    I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
    Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
    I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?

    Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.
