InDesign CS3 Version installed on a Windows 7 64bit laptop

My InDesign CS3 will not connect to the internet while installed on my Windows 7 64bit laptop. Is this a compatibility issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem. I have read a view forums now and there is some discussion to this having happened to others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I spent several hundred dollars on InDesign and Dreamweaver CS3 and used the software with no problem previously on my XP Professional Desktop.
When I stopped using the desktop, I deactivated the software and removed it from the desktop and installed it on my laptop.

Larry -- I didn't even know that that was possible, so no, I don't think that that's the case.
losborne -- My version is 5.0.4. That version number is displayed in the start-up splash screen. If you then go to the Help menu and hold down the Ctrl key when you click 'About InDesign' in the Help menu, you can see the build number, which on my system is 5.0.4.682. I'm pretty sure that I was always up to date. Don't worry if you're not entirely up to date, by the way.

Cannot install iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Okay, I like so many cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 64bit.
Now Orginally I got a message saying something to the effect of:
There was a problem with the install you do not have permission for something...
Through some investigating my iTunes was being installed and removing all my permissions to view and/or modify files within that folder. Even if I was logged in as admin and installed as admin all the permissions would simply block me out.
This kind of had a familar feeling as in the last few versions of iTunes I had to run as admin just to open it (this is really annoying by the way)
So I searched the net and many people were saying to uninstall everything "Apple" and try again. So I did that. Now I have this new message:
there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
And again I scoured the internet for a way to fix this. I apparently am supposed to goto Control Pannel/Programs and Features and select Apple Software Update and select repair. The problem is that no longer exists in my programs list since I removed it in the earlier step. iTunes still refuses to install spitting out the same error forever. I tried the Microsoft "fix it" tool which is supposed to remove the Apple Software Update incomplete uninstall (which is apparently the whole problem) but it doesn't show up in the list for "fixing".
I am at a loss. Why doesn't Apple fix this. I cannot update my iPhone to the latest software in fear I may need to restore it. With no iTunes that is impossible. I cannot change any of my music or do anything until this is resolved. If/when iPhone 5 comes out I cannot get it either unless this issue is taken care of somhow.
I searched for an installer for just the Apple Software Update program But it seems to not exist as a standalone thing (it would be useful if it were though). If it were perhaps I could install it again and then successfully remove/repair it and iTunes might install finally.
Now I have had previous versions of iTunes working perfectly fine. I do not recall which version I was using before I tried to update and fell into this abyss however.

Yes b noir. I've tried running just "iTunes64.msi" from the command-line and while it didn't produce the same error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vender." it produced a different error in bold-type "iTunes Installer Completed" then "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured...Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified...Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit". However, I discovered a wealth of options from the Windows Installer to try after typing "iTunes64.msi passive"...So I'll experiment some more when I have time.
P.S. I'm becoming more convinced that Apple is putting new software out there to get it debugged which was a trick that MicroSoft always seemed to do:-)

Not able to Install JMF on Windows 7 64bit

Dear
I originally resurrected the following long-dead forum post and tried to hijack it away for my own question even though I've been around here long enough top know better:
Install JMF on Windows 7 64bit
However a kind forum moderator branched my inquiry away to let it stand on its own merits (or not).
My question is ...
"I follow your steps and jmf does not work, do you have any other solution?"

Hi
sure I follow each of your steps, I uninstall all java verisones and installed a new java version 32-bit, I installed JMF in "C: \ JMF2.1.1e".
when all installing finished, works fine JMF only once, I do the tests, recognizes the device; shows the video, but when I close and open again JStudio don't works throws error, and therefore my apliación not working, always returns null the device

HT1926 cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . cant run a required dll

i cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . when i run the setup and reach the status : "performing installation checks" , it said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer Package . A Dll required for this install to complete could not be run.v..v" what should i do now ?

That's a bit rarer. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank. I really need to install this since I have only 1 PC and i just bought the new iPhone 6.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

InDesign CS3 - Vanilla Install - Question Marks All Over My Content

Yes, I'm still using InDesign CS3 on my MacBook Pro from 5 years ago. CS3 has worked like a charm and I've never had a problem with any files until this morning.
I've got a 120 page book, each page with images and text boxes, none of which are threaded. I opened my file this morning and all my content boxes: images and text have question marks on the top left corner.
I have no plug-ins. The installation is straight out of the box with the occasional updates, which stopped quite awhile ago.
The error that pops up when I place the cursor in a text box is: "31-40-TasksAssemble-Instal.incx" cannot be located. Another error is: "31-40 TasksDirectly supe-1.incx cannot be located. I have no idea what these mean and when I did a Google search there were only 3 returns and they were from what appeared to be software pirate sites. I can't find a reference to this on the Adobe forums either.
I've saved under a different name, different file type and replaced the preferences, all to no avail. I think the application is behaving as though I've "checked out" the content, but I don't share my files with anyone and the file itself isn't on a network - there is nowhere to check out to, and the commands to check in is grayed out so I can't reverse the behavior.
I'm stumped and I have a deadline! Can anyone help??
thank you!

No one has worked on or had access to this file but me. I'm on a network but I'm a Mac in a PC world and no one would even know how to find my hd, let alone do anything on it.
I have to believe it is related to my moving my entire project folder to an external hd (not just the file as I mentioned before) as a means of backup. I don't know why it would matter or what it could have done unless there are files created in the Library that are somehow related/linked to the stories.
I'm still searching the Adobe Forums for something related but all ID/IC related discussions relate to people actually using IC!
I've unlinked all of my content from IC and now I'll have to see what happens.
[POSTSCRIPT]
I've been editing my layout most of the day and so far so good.
The oddity of each box asking for a link to InCopy, which has never been used, happened only after I dragged my project folder to an external hard drive as a precautionary backup. All InDesign files in both original and backup folder suffered this problem. I didn't dare open any other ID files for fear of corrupting them so I can't say how widespread this problem would have been.
I do not know why making a copy of a folder would have created this problem and I can't find any discussion thread that talks about it, much less sheds any light on the subject.
After unlinking all of the boxes from their non-existent "host file" the boxes remained intact complete with images and formatting. I saved often!

InCopy CS2 Copyfitting with InDesign CS3, Version Cue CS3

Hello. We are using InCopy CS2 together with InDesign CS3 as part of an Version Cue CS3 workflow. Certain stories do not copyfit exactly in InCopy CS2. They copyfit properly in InDesign CS3, but when the assignment with these stories is opened in InCopy CS2, the copyfit is close, but not perfect. We never had this problem when we were using InDesign CS2.
Has anyone seen this problem; can anyone suggest a workaround? (Incidentally, The copyfit looks just fine when we open the file in InCopy CS3; but we are NOT using InCopy CS3, because it causes synchronization problems - it reports that files are open, when they are not. )
Thanks for your help - Chris

The text engines have changed from CS2 to CS3 and again with CS4.
There's no way to get an accurate copy fit using a different version of InCopy than InDesign.

Installing CS6 on Windows 7 64bit?

Hi all, I just wanted to confirm with an Adobe staff member that I should have no problems with installing CS6 Design & Web Premium on Windows 7 64bit OS (HP Core i5). We are having our computers upgraded in the office from Windows XP and our tech supplier would feel more comfortable buying the new machines if he had assurance that the software will be compatible. A few questions here:
System requirements says Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 on the back of the box, is this something he has to take special note of?
It says 3 installations are allowed. Will this new PC count as my second installation? Or can I transfer my first installation from my old PC somehow?
I'm not sure what the difference is between 32bit and 64bit. Will I be able to open my old CS files from Windows XP on Windows 7 without any problems?
Many thanks for the help!

Hi adobeuser1985,
1. Yes you need to install SP1 on Windows 7 as it is the tested environment for CS6 Design and Web Premium
2. Yes this PC will be counted as 2nd unless you deactivate the first. It's always recommended to deactivate the software first before upgrading the OS or installiang the software on anew computer else it will increase the activation count.
Once you deactivate the software, and install it on a new PC, the install will then be still referred as 1st installation.
Please check : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
3. Some software's of the Suite such as Indesign CS6 and Illustrator CS6 require 64 Bit OS and so will not run on 32 Bit PC
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
Let me know if you have any more queries.
Regards,
Rave

Install JMF on Windows 7 64bit

Dear all,
After a lot of struggling (and a really mean a lot), I finally got jmf to work on Windows 7 64bit. I figured that I can better not let this information go to waste, so that's why I'm posting it here. I didn't really test the full capabilities of jmf on my platform yet, in fact I only tested those features that I needed for my application. As such I am able to successfully capture and record video clips from my build in webcam of my laptop.
First let me describe my platform:
Laptop: Samsung R590 (JS01)
Processor: I5 450M (64bit)
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Webcam: build in
Secondly I want to apologize in advance if the method below doesn't work for you. The reason for that can be that I had to try so many different things before I finally got it to work, so I'm not really sure which steps are necessary and which ones are not. So I tried to make a guide that only includes the necessary steps, but in reality I tried so much more, so if this tutorial doesn't work for you, please give me feedback, and we'll try to figure it out. :)
Step one: installation of java JRE/JDK
JMF will never work on a 64bit JRE/JDK, plain and simple because JMF is too old and doesn't support a 64bit JRE/JDK. Thus your first step has to be to install a 32 bit JRE/JDK on your system. (I uninstalled my 64 bit JRE/JDK first, but I don't now whether or not this is necessary)
Step two: download JMF with windows performance pack
Go to the jmf site and download the most recent jmf version, with windows performance pack. (This is - and will probably be forever - version 2.1.1e)
The link to the website is currently: [https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=7372-jmf-2.1.1e-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer]
Step three: install JMF
Install the file you just downloaded in the normal way you would install any other program. But chose as installation path: "C:\JMF2.1.1e"
I think this is necessary because of the strict security policy in Windows 7, if you don't do this, I guess jmf won't be able to store capture device settings to your local hard drive. (But again, I'm not completely sure here, please verify this if possible)
After the installation, you don't have to do anything special to get jmf to work, so you don't manually have to set the JMFDIR, PATH and CLASSPATH (as is explained at the sun website), just skip those steps.
After the installation, reboot your pc.
Remark: I recommend you to install jmf as an administrator (but I don't now whether or not this is necessary). To do this, right click the installation file and select: "run as administrator'.
*Step four: register your capture devices*
First make sure that all your devices are working properly, I recommend you to use a program like Skype or something just to check whether your microphone is working or not.
Secondly, open jmfstudio, select 'file > preferences > capture devices', and press the button 'detect capture devices'. Normally you will have to wait for a couple of minutes now (because the determination of all the available video formats takes quite a while). Afterwards jmf should have found all of your devices, that usually looks something like this:
DirectSoundCapture
JavaSound audio capture
vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0
But this can vary according to your configuration off course. :)
*Step four: test your capture devices*
In jmfstudio, select 'file > capture' and select the video and audio combo and see if your webcam settings work. You should now be able to view and hear yourself.
*Step five: that's it, enjoy your jmf*
*Remarks:*
My development platform is currently netbeans 6.9.1 and I am able to write code, build it and run it with netbeans. I can also just run normal *.jar files
*Troubleshoot:*
If you get a dialog screen when starting your video capture device that looks like this: [http://www.alexandria.nu/ai/machine_vision/dual_cameras/SelectDevice.gif]
(With off course another name for the capture device), then that means that your capturing device is currently occupied by another program and you can't currently use it.
To solve this, make sure that no other application is using the webcam. For me even this was insufficient, but I managed to solve this by installing the latest drivers for my webcam from the manufacturing site of my laptop.
I sincerely hope this tutorial can be of any use for someone, feel free to give me comments/suggestions. And please post here if this works for you or not.
Greetings, Molly

Itunes 10.2will not install amds on windows 7 64bit

I have spent the last two days on the Internet and apple support to try and install iTunes 10 64bit onto my new computer running windows 7 64bit.All I find on Apple support is about removeing and reinstalling not about amsd missing or not installing and uninstalling in a certain order and reinstalling, have done this more times than I care to say. iTunes 10 installs then rolls back and does not install the apple mobile device support msi.I have done everything suggested by support forums and everything requested by apple support and the final comment from them was if this doesn't work they don't know, not to great an answer.
I am now very frustrated and angry that a fault like this has not been solved by Apple, as I now have a new computer and a useless iTunes that will not sync my iPhone 4 or my iPod or my wife's iphone3gs or her iPod shuffle.
I don't know what to do now as my last resort I put the computer back to factory settings and it still did not work,sorry forgot to mention I extracted the apple mobile devise support .msi with winrar and tried to install it separately but still no luck,
does anyone out there have answer PLEASE PLEASE HELP ?

hi
i've been having the same problem. spoken to online support, they made appointment for genius bar, tech guy seemed to know his stuff but this issue was unknown to him. they agreed to give me a knew phone, eventually told me on day to when i returned that they had exhausted everything and that it was a pc software issue. possibly i should think about getting a mac or using another laptop! they also said that iphone works fine on mac but that there are som many versions of windows that it was difficult to keep up.
handing out replacement iphones and tech guys not know that there is a problem with windows 7 surely isn't good for business
apple support... can you address this problem asap please. i have restricted use and would like to get the full benefit of using my iphone 4
thanks
ps word of mouth is a powerful. the number of people who are concerned about updating to iphone is growing and i've not been able to recommend

Installing Firefox with windows 7 64bit mode just does not work.

I have windows 7 64bit mode. I cannot install firefox, it crashes all the time when I open it. I know the problem is because my windows 7 is in 64bit mode. Can you (firefox support) or someone on this forum provide the simple and easy steps of getting it to work. Also can you (firefox) hurry up and release a 64bit version. I'm using google chrome and crazy browser as they seem to have no problems at all. I really want to use firefox but it just won't set up for me because I'm running win7 64bit mode. If I was running win7 32bit mode I wouldn't be having any issues. Has anyone out there got a simple step by step solution for this? It it mind boggling that with todays technology no one has a simple fix for this issue. Help!!!!!

I have been running Win 7 64 bit on an HP Pavilion lap for several months. The whole browser thing has been a nightmare. My work involves heavy duty internet research. Firefox crashes every few minutes. There is no specific event I can find that kicks this off, but running the latest Flash Players and Adobe Reader makes it a lot worse. In fact, I had to set up the adobe reader to not run within the Firefox window. I had to back off to an old version of adobe Reader and Flash Player to accomplish this. I love Firefox. I was disappointed to have to uninstall it as it was impossible to run searches with it.
So then it proved to be that IE either version 8 or 9 was even worse. I could not keep it up long enough to run a search.
So I installed Chrome which has some nice features, but it also crashes, albeit more gracefully so I do not lose my place and it makes a quick recovery but there are many online applications where Chrome just does not work.
My son also has Win7 64 bit and says he is also having the same problems.
I want my Firefox back! Please fix it.

Should both x64 and x32 be installed on OS Windows 7 64bit system?

I noticed that both versions (x64 and x32) of Adobe Photoshop programs were downloaded and installed in my Windows 7 x64 system, is this correct?

Yes, it is perfectly fine. Both versions install. PS comes as both a traditional 32-bit application and a 64-bit version for systems with the processor and operating system to run 64-bits.
From Adobe:
"The primary advantage of using the 64-bit version of Photoshop is to access amounts of RAM beyond what Photoshop can access as a 32-bit application. Photoshop can take the best advantage of more than 4 GB of RAM only if it runs as a 64-bit application".

Hey kankawaii,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It might be best to completely remove iTunes and related components, then install to 64-bit version from the direct download link below.
