My wish for a Mac version of InDesign and Creative Suite
Adobe seems bent on making both the Mac and Windows versions of CS4 be exactly alike. I truly wish that Adobe would add some things that are available on the Mac, even if they are not on the PC. As long as the core of the program is the same, this should not be an issue.
I'm speaking of being able to hover my cursor over some text and typing Control-Command-D to bring up the pop-up dictionary. Having an Open In Dictionary option in the Control-Click contextual menu. Even access to that awful looking Apple Fonts palette because I do make sets of font in Font Book and I cannot see those sets in ID's font menus. How about access to the Character Palette in the Edit menu? Do I need more? Yes! Why does the new version of ID default to taking up the entire screen as a Windows program? This is not the Macintosh way, I think.
Microsoft learned their lesson a long time ago when they released a version of Office that they bragged was exactly the same as the Windows counterpart. Well, it was very, very slow to launch and I think it sold miserably. After that, they have gone out of their way to produce Mac-versions of their programs, I think, even having that Mactopia website for a while. I wish Adobe would learn this lesson, too. Besides pricing CS4 upgrades awfully high, I think, same as Windows approach is one of the major reasons I will not upgrade to CS 4.
You can change the display option so that Id CS4 looks more like a Mac app from the Window menu by deselecting Application Frame. This feature is also in Ai and Ps CS4.

How do I upgrade the plugins needed for my earlier version of InDesign CS5 so I can open a file in a later version of CS5?
You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

Have subscription to current versions of indesign and photoshop, lost a laptop, need older versions
A couple of weeks back, I purchased subscriptions to Indesign and Photoshop, to use on a cutting edge mac laptop.
Then I lost the laptop. I have a police report if you'd like to see it.
Now I'm back running my older mac, with os x 10.5.8 on it. I've got a 10.6 snow leopard disc on the way.
I'd like to be able to download older versions of Indesign and Photoshop.
Even if they're 30-day trials, they'd be helpful, as I've got a project I'm working on I'd like to finish.
Thanks!
- JohnnyYou won't get a call from an Adobe employee unless you call them first, and probably not then (the call-back track record is pretty poor). Nobody who is participating in this thread so far works for Adobe, by the way. We're just volunteer users doing our best to help others like you. We do know the current state of licensing and program availability, however, and the information you are getting is correct. Adobe has a price structure, including a few incentives for users of previous versions which don't happen to help you unless you upgrade your OS so you can run the CC subscription versions, and they are not going to change the pricing to make you, or me, or anyone else happy.
I'm sure you can probably find a version of CS3 for sale on the aftermarket, but be very careful. Most of the early version offers are either counterfeit or cannot be registered because they are not eligible for transfer being either education versions or part of the original owner's upgrade chain. -

You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee. -
hello i am trying to help a friend to get the update for the mac os x maverick and msg pops up saying distribution file not verified
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?
Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word -
Where can I find one of those soft silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea since Apple no longer makes them? I-phones use them now.
Personally I use the Speck hard case on both of my MacBooks and they are the greates! Look around on Amazon and eBay and you can find them for $30-40. I wouldn't really recomend a silicon case for a macbook, but it's your preference.

When installing CS3 Design Premium it instals Version Cue server and shared components, but I get the message "Errors: 6 component (s)" and dose not install, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Indesign or Creative Suite Premium
Thank you Bturko in the future only migrate/copy/transfer your documents and settings. Adobe applications especially are not designed to be transferred from one computer to another. It is possible to recover however. I would recommend the following steps:
Run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
Run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS3 products.
Run the installer and reinstall Creative Suite 3. -
I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?
In relation to my previous inquiry regarding inability to view a pdf file using Safari...
Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?
Sorry if I missed any important point in this article -->Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory

I have an education version of cs 6 creative suite, I have the box and used in once on my old laptop I am now trying to find serial number to reuse on new laptop but only have product code and product number
Hi Sophie,
Normally you can find your serial registered to your AdobeId. To find it please login to the Adobe website and check if you did register it to your account.
Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
In general you will go true a educational verification afterwards you get the serial. So its in your email or account. If you still have issues get in contact with the chat team to get help.
Good luck! -
