How do I un-install an old InDesign

I am trying to install a new version of InDesign CS3 (Creative Suite 3 Design standard), but my Imac tells me that there is already
a copy of InDesign in this computer. I downloaded a free 30 day trial about 12 months ago and
then didn't proceed to purhcase after ther trial, I have since tried to delete the trial copy but
it doesn't the new install is still recognsing an older copy. It tells me adobe Indesign CS3 is already installed.
All the other items, Acrobat, Illustrator, photoshop - it allows me to either re-sinatall or un-install,
bit InDesign is greyed out.
Please can anyone help me.
Thanks

Using the new CS3Clean Script is one possibility, but be warned that it remove EVERYTHING ADOBE from the system.
Adobe - Adobe CS5 Clean Script is supposed to also be able to remove earlier versions, and is supposed to be more friendly about it, but I haven't tried it personally.
If all else fails, engineer Matthew Laun sent me the following manual removal instructions for Macs:
MAC OS:
1) Use Add/Remove programs to remove All installed Adobe applications
2) Ensure the following folders are removed from the system:
/Applications/Adobe*
/Applications/.AdobePatchFiles (hidden, use Go > Go to Folder command)
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe*
/[startup disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/[startup disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
/[startup disk]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe*
/[startup disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe*
/Users/[user]/Library/Caches/com.adobe*
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe*
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe*
3) Re-install.
Probably overkill for some cases, but solves a LOT of cases which the clean script does not. The caveat is that it requires re-installation of virtually all Adobe Software.
Good luck.

Installing an old inDesign version.

Hi to all, i have an old Indesign 7.0 licence,
I have to install it on a new Mac computer, I have logged in after some years and no product appears on my account.
How can I download and install the product purchased some years ago?
Thanks a lot!

I believe you may be on the wrong user forum. This one is for Adobe Captivate, not In Design.

How can I re-install my old SCSI card (2906)?

I think I should have asked for guidance here first but...
I'm trying to re-install my old SCSI card in my G4 (Dual 1 GHz - 1.5 GB Ram, 10.5.8), it worked fine a few years ago (under previous OS) but I can't seem to get it running now. The Profiler sees the card (Adaptec 2906) but says there is no driver. So I downloaded a driver from the Adaptec site (2930 - they say its the same as the 2906 driver), installed it, connected an old ZIP drive as a test - and yes I set the auto termination. Restarted and got a Kernel panic! - retried and got another panic!
Un-installed the driver, cleaned the cashes and reset permissions with Onyx, so I appear to be back to a stable system.
Anyone have any experience with SCSI cards? I would greatly appreciate any/all suggestions. I do have some experience with computers [Apple II+, SE30, IIFX, 8500 PowerMac, but this old head just can't get this figured out.
Thanks in advance!

I thought I'd post this as an update and general information for others who might have a similar problem.
I have my old original Scsi card installed (Adaptec 2906), and it does work under 10.4.11 (my alternate/back-up system). I installed just "Adaptec78XXSCSI.kext" in the system/library/extensions folder and as long as I start my scanner before I boot into 10.4 everything seems to work just fine.
It's a bit of a pain to have to switch systems whenever I need to scan something, but I can live with it.
I tried to install the drivers in 10.5.8 but that doesn't work at all. If I install the whole Adaptec2930 package, I get a Kernel panic almost immediately. If I install just the "Adaptec78XXSCSI.kext", the card is not recognized. From what I've read on various sites is that 10.4 is the last OS that supports SCSI cards (or at least this Adaptec card). If someone has better/more information, I would appreciate hearing from them.
I contacted Adaptec tech support, but I have not as yet received a reply
In the end, things have worked out reasonably well. I have the use of my old reliable Agfa Scanner (Vuescan is great!), and my old Powermac 8500 is still functional enough for me to recover all my ancient tape archives.
An interesting little twist: Part of my incentive to re-install the old SCSI card was to recover my tape archives via Retrospect. But I discovered while searching for the drivers that Retrospect no longer supports the Adaptec cards, and hasn't for some time, so I could not have used it on my G4 anyway!
Now I'm saving my pennies for a new 27" iMac

How do I re-install an old product?

My hard drive recently failed and I have lost all data. How can I re-install my previous purchase of Master Collection CS5.5? I have copies of my serial numbers, but did not register them with Adobe, so there is no record on my account.

If you were not able to deactivate the original installation you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations before you activate the new installation. That way you will still have an extra activation available for a backup installation. Chat instructions are provided below after the download links.

How do i re install the old iOS5 to my iphone 3g

I recently updated my iphone 3gs to the iOS6, since then I have had no signal what so ever, and the phone has been lagging and very slow and unresponsive to use, I took it into the vodaphone store and they told me to reinstall the old iOS5 as the new 6 software was too advanced for such an ld phone. Where can i find the old iOS5 to install or any other iOS as i just need signal back to be able to use the phone. Thankyou

There is no Apple supported downgrade path.

How to download and install my old PSE5.

Some years ago, I purchased a download of PSE5. A few years later, I changed computers, and had to contact Adobe to help me re-download the software. I had, and still have, the serial number and order number from my original purchase. I do not need, nor do I want, a newer version, as the old software performed well and did what I needed. Now I need to install it on another new computer, but I cannot find a way to contact Adobe at all about this software or this subject. They seem to have erected a fortress to keep the rabble at bay. I just want to reinstall the software that I bought and paid for in good faith. What to do?

I would love for you to have ring back tones on Iphone 5s! Here is where you can purchase and manage your ring back tones: http://vz.to/15Jto4u

How to install an old PPD on Windows 7 ?

OK - this will be tricky.
We are a small offset print shop and use ID CS4 to both design and do our colour seperations with. We use an old(ish) Panther Imagesetter which serves us well.
We have just purchased a new PC, and as XP pro is hard to get these days, and with Windows 7 clearly the way of the future - we have taken the leap ... especially as we have updated all our design software to CS4 I thought we wouldn't have any issues.
However .... Windows 7 will not install the old Panther PPD's - basically tells me that they're not compatible with a 64bit OS.
Any ideas ? We're a bit stuffed if I can't get this working

It's always amazing to me how discussions of PostScript bog down with Windows users.
It's either Windows users never use PostScript or some other reason I can't understand.
What is needed is a simple way to place a PPD file on Windows 7 so the user can select the option of writing a PostScript file to disk and referencing that particular PPD. We don't need or want a printer driver in this case because we are not actually printing to any particular device.
Why someone needs to do that comes under the category of "If you have to ask then you really don't understand the issue so you're probably not ready to receive the explanation."
But I'll try to explain it. We in printing have been writing PostScript files to disk since it was possible to do so.
Why do we do it? Because we don't "PRINT" to a printer. We create a file and then "SUBMIT" it to a "RIP" that lets us preview the file or or we pre-process it with additional software that might do something like imposition or color separating or whatever.
Many times we need to write a PostScript file to disk and distill it as opposed to exporting a PDF directly because either the application has no PDF export or we need controlls for the file creation that are not in the export dialogs.
Sometimes it's a more complex issue of flattening transparency when the export function is supposed to do it but doesn't work correctly. I know that comes as a shock that an aspect of expensive software might not work correctly and we have to use a work-around but trust me, it happens.
Not meaning to start a Mac/Windows holy war but this is so easy to do on a Mac. You just place the PPD in a directory and it's becomes available to the application with no need to install a printer driver.
Now it appears that someone is finally suggesting it might be as simple as:
1. Drag your PPD to the following path: c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
I'll try this an pray that it really is this simple.
And it is.
So, we don't need to install the Adobe PostScript (or any other) printer drive to make a PPD available to Indesign for the purpose of writing a PostScript file to disk.
Life is good again.

I am trying to install an app. When I click install, my old gmail account shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id. How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

I am trying to install an app in my iphone. When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc. I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account. How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
