I have InDesign CS (v 3.0.1) can newer CS4 files be saved to open in this version

I would rather not upgrade if the files can be saved to open In InDesign CS. Thanks
Also can I download the free trial of CS4 and use this to save the file to my older version?.
I received a 500mb file from a client today and would like to solve this problem myself rather than have them re save & re send the file. Thanks, Shawn New Haven, CT

Backward compatibility in Indesign works like this:
Any version of ID can open files from any version up to that release. Once saved in a newer version, files cannot be opened in older versions, with the following exception, of sorts. Beginning with CS2 (version 4) files can be exported to .inx (Interchange Format) which can be opened by the version doing the export and one version earlier. Any features used in the newer version which are not available in the older version will be lost, and text will most likley recompose and change line ending points due to differences in text engines for each version. It is possible to hack CS4 .inx to sometimes make it open in CS2, but it is not guaranteed.
Exporting to back save is not a recommended workflow and should be considered a last resort. If you know a file will need to be opened in an earlier version, you should do all work in that version for best results.

I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.1. When I try to open a document, an error occurs, says file type is "blocked from opening in this version." This was NOT immediately after a version update. Any ideas? Thank you.

iOS 5.0.1 has been out for a couple months, if not longer.
There was no delay in releasing it in any country.
So what is your issue?

I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3 with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud . I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook. I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again

On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

Yes -- http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book

Have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

Because ratings don't travel with the files or the playlist.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

You would have to purchase a retail Leopard installer DVD. Since they are difficult to find you may need to search on eBay, Amazon.com, and Google to find a suitable copy.
If you have an Intel iMac, then you may want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard which you can purchase at any Apple retailer for $29.00 versus the minimum price of $129.00 for Leopard.
Leopard System requirements
You must have a Macintosh computer with:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
And, you could also upgrade to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer for $69.00.
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

InDesign links stripped out when relinking to new InCopy file

I am working on a large manual in InDesign CS4. Previously, there was an .incd file linked within the links panel. When I open the .indd file, the box comes up to update the links. We now have a new .icml file from InCopy that I relink to. What is happening is all the links in the link panel as well as within the document are getting stripped out when I link to the new InCopy file. The only file left is the .icml in the links panel.
Has anyone had this happen to them? If so, I would love to know how you fixed it. Or if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi,Thanks for writing.
I am relinking from an older story to a new one. When the editor upgraded to InCopy CS4 and told me he had completed his updates, within the folder were both the old .incd files as well as the new .icml. I removed the old .incd then opened the InDesign file. When I go to relink by right clicking on the old InCopy file, the new .icml file replaces everything within the links panel within InDesign as well as stripping all linked graphics from the pages.

Can InDesign CS4 files be saved down to CS3

Can anyone confirm if InDesign CS4 files can be saved down to CS3.
I need to be able to share editing of InDesign files with user on different version. Seems okay to open up a version, but then can not open file back down a version? Thanks

Not an advisable workflow. You can export to INX but all new features will be lost or badly mangled. Additionally text will reflow due to the different text engines.
Your colleague should upgrade to CS4 or you should both be prepared for major headaches.

HT204088 I installed iphone 5 from iTunes backup but still have one app showing [ ! ] not installed can not find file . How do I get rid of this pop up

I installed iphone 5 from itunes back up and get a pop up [ ! ] app not installed can not find file. I have looked through everything that have with "CANADA" in the app title. That is the only info there is.

If you haven't found out which app it is then if you go into list view in the Apps part of your library do any of the apps have an exclamantion mark against them ? If they do then they are the one(s) that iTunes can't find the actual app file(s) for - if you delete that app from your library then if it is still in then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can just download it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in its App Store app

I have OSX 10.7.5, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

I have OSX 10.7.5 on my imac, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

First, iDVD is not and never has been part of OS X. If iDVD is not working correctly, then you should investigate possible problems with that application, support files, preferences, or cache.
Of course you can always reinstall OS X if you wish:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
