Adobe does not market old version of their products the old downloads are available mostly for old licences users so they can download their licenced products should they need to.  So if you do not have a licence for Lightroom 3.6 after your 30 days trial install expires you can not use it or purchase a licence.
It would be a good Idea for you to get a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 on it.  I prefer Windows 7.  If you are still running XP though its a good OS and runs on old Hardware that Windows 7 and 8 can not run on.  Its best to turn those old tired machines into network print servers and have nothing of value on them.  For Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and security holes that are still in XP will not being plugged.  You just inviting the waiting intruders in they will show up it you connect to the web and uses it.
If you are using old hardware for a modest price you can get a new machine that is more powerful then the one you using.  With wireless devices it nice to have a network printer your current machine will be of no value to anyone.  If you hate the idea on scrapping a working machine a print server may be the was to go IMO.
If you purchased a Photographer CC subscription you can install the subscription Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 that should run on XP with some newer PS features unavailable like 3D any feature the requires a GPU.  CS6 does not support any GPU on Windows XP.   You can do all that LR can do to images and more with Photoshop.  I do not even download Lightroon.  I don't need its library system or desire a second UI over the Adobe RAW conversion Engine.   This save disk space and I don't have to maintain and additional Adobe product and a simpler work-flow.
Besides CS6 you can install LR 4.4 I do not use LR so I have no ides if it will run on XP.  XP not listed in LR 4.4 requirement.
found this
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 does not support Windows XP. This decision did not come lightly and was based on a number of factors. With each version of Lightroom, our goal is always to provide a consistently excellent customer experience. Developing and testing across Operating System versions and platforms to ensure that we’re achieving this goal is a significant effort that takes time and resources. XP is substantially different from Windows Vista and Windows 7, and requires an independent testing matrix, which increases the complexity of our development efforts. Every cycle we need to make difficult resource tradeoff decisions and operating system support competes heavily with new features and performance enhancements planned for each version. The decision this cycle was to end XP support for Lightroom going forward.

    Unless you had somehow backed up the iPad just before you deleted the notes - unfortunately there is no way to get the notes back. There is no undo feature or trash from which you can retrieve.
    Are you sure that you deleted the note? You would have seen a large red Delete Note bar that you would have had to tap in order to delete the note. Have you checked the other accounts - tap accounts in the upper left corner of the app and check.

    If you haven't already, try restarting the iPhone, it could just be that the store is stuck. Shutting down and starting back up tends to resolve these sorts of issues.

  • I paid for a Premium Adobe revel Premium subscription and have received nothing???!!

    Hello,
    I updated my Revel account to premium and nothing has changed in my account since my purchase, I still have a 2 Gig limited imposed even though I received the confirmation email below. Also why does it say creative cloud as opposed to Revel, is this the same thing?
    Creative Cloud membership (one-year)
    £38.11 per month
    Order # AD002476395UK
    £8.77 VAT
    [email protected]
    Total payment today:  
    £46.88
    Please reach out to me asap with a resolution and explanation or I will be expecting a full refund. Also, you website is out of date, I originally signed up because it said I could upload unlimited for the first month and then a 50 photo restriction thereafter however once I signed up I saw I had a 2 Gig limited opposed on my account. This is false and misleading commercial advertising.  However I mad my peace with it, however paying for something (a cloud service of all things) and to not have that reflected in my current account is very disappointing to say the least.
    I hope to hear from you soon

    Since you have to consciously click and enter a password, the normal terms on the store are all sales are final.
    All you can do is go to the support link above, follow to the Express Lane support for the iTunes store and plead your case for a refund.  Just don't get your expections too high though.

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

  • I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank.  Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security?

    I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank.  Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security? I have no anti-virus software.

    Evelyn, there is nothing that can prevent you or anyone from falling victim to those attempts to defraud you – other than you.
    "Phishing" scams are the most common way of getting people to voluntarily supply information that should be kept as secure as any other personal possession. "Anti-virus" solutions can't possibly prevent that sort of fraud, and if anything can only lull you into falsely believing you're being protected from threats, be they real or perceived.
    Do you have any further advice so that I don't fear my Mac?
    There is no reason to fear your Mac; it's a tool to be used for your sole benefit. Like any tool though, it can be misused. If there is any explanation for fear, it's a lack of education. Knowledge conquers fear and renders it inert. Learn what real threats actually exist, how to defend yourself from them, and how to distinguish them from those propagated by fear mongering psychopaths that justify their existence by keeping others misinformed. There are an abundance of the latter.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it. The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • I contacted what I thought was Brother Support for my new printer, then I got skeptical.  He gained access through a program called TeamViewer, is my Mac safe?

    i contacted what I thought was Brother Support for my new printer, then I got skeptical.  He gained access through a program called TeamViewer, is my Mac safe?

    They're probably just interested in getting $ from you, there are several companies who advertise in a way that suggests 'official' support for all sorts of things. Unfortunately, if they had access as you describe, they potentially could have installed other software and/or read any of your files.
    Ideally - change all passwords for email/banking/login & restore a backup from before this happened.

  • OK, just paid for first month of CreatePDF, but nothing converts. What's up??

    I just paid for first month of and installed Adobe CreatePDF. But when I tried to use to convert files (individually or multiples to single .pdf), they've all failed to convert. Tried .jpg files within the size limitations, Excel files as well, but just get "File_______ failed to convert. You can try the file again or use the PDF printer for Windows to convert the file."
    I did download the installer for the Adobe PDF Desktop Printer, but due to hardware settings on this laptop, couldn't finish installation. But that is moot-- I'm at a copy center at which I planned to print these documents once I got them converted to .pdf. That was $9.99 I could have used for something more useful than this exercise...
