New OS, new scanning software, and Photoshop 7

I now have a new computer running Windows 7 (64-bit). My Photoshop 7 still works, as does my Arcus II scanner. However, Fotolook 3.6 doesn't, and I am now experimenting with VueScan.
Photoshop 7 has 8-bit and 16-bit options in the Image -> Mode section. In the past I have scanned and edited in 16-bit. With VueScan, no matter what scanning mode I choose, the file opens in Photoshop 7 as an 8-bit file. I can change the file to 16-bit, and it behaves as an actual 16-bit file. (i.e. layers are not available etc)
My questions are:
When I change a file to 16-bit, is this interpolated data?
Has anyone been able to get Fotolook 3.6 to work with Windows 7 (64-bit)?
Is there any other scanning software that will work with my old Arcus II scanner?
Why doesn't a file scanned with VueScan at 16-bit Gray open in Photoshop 7 as a 16-bit file? (I have scanned using both VueScan directly and the twain module within Photoshop)
What changes do I need to make when scanning and editing under these circumstances?
Thanks ..............

Switching to 16bit merely expands the available range and thus precision for any successive operation on the image, it doesn't interpolate or reduce anything. Can't answer any of your other questions because a quick search turned up empty, meaning the thing is really, really old and these are probably compatibility issues you cannot work around and should be glad anything works at all.

New hard drive and photoshop license problem

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.

>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.8.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
Try downloading Lion.

I want to maintain Safari 10.6.8 on my computer and then install Maverick on a separate internal drive so I can run new FCPX software and maintain the older OS for my older software versions. Can you tell me how please?

I see an upgrade path from Safari but don't want to change that and would like to be able boot from Maverick when needed.
Is this possible and how?
Thank you!

On the Apple site I see an upgrade path but not from scratch. I will use my current systems and then it place a complete install of Maverick on the other drive to boot from?
Thank you!

I downloaded the new Lion software and now my Mac runs slow. What did I do wrong?

That didn' t fix it for me. and I also repaired and verified disk permissions that didn't help. So how do I do the next steps? Can you lay it out slowly for me please?
if that doesn't fix your slow down open disk utilities
-repair and varify disk permissions
-reboot and hold comman-R
-open disk utilities once your on your recovery partition
-repair disk and verify disk
-reboot and you imac should be running at tip top shape

I just downloaded the new itunes software and i cant figure out how to add the music i just bought to my iphone does anyone have my solution?

how do i add music to my ipone using the new itunes software?

The process is the same as with the older versions of iTunes. The only thing that's changed is how you get to the device page for your iPhone; you tap the iPhone button in the upper-right on the header bar now. Or you can go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and things will be substantially the same as they were in earlier versions.

Any advice gratefully appreciated .

No problem, glad to help! According to the link in dougofakkad's post CS6 is the earliest version compatible with Mavericks.
"Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS4, and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no known major issues"
from the link. i don't know what the legal deal is with buying/using secondhand older versions, someone else may be able to fill you in.

The new Photos software and iWeb not working

Just downloaded the new Photos software. Now photos do not appear on the iWeb photos tab to drag into web page. Is there a way to remedy that?

It's not gone - just a version too old to run on 10.10.3. However, read the following:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
The above should allow you to get iPhoto 9.6.1 which will run under 10.10.3.

Buying a new imac - Flash and Photoshop

I'm getting ready to buy a mac. I use it for on the side freelance, mainly using Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I can't decide whether I want to get a 20" PowerPC imac, a 20" intel imac or just suck it up and get a G5 tower, along with a flatscreen. Currenly I use an old G4 (400 megaherts, 1 GB of RAM.
Basically, I'd like to know how much faster a tower is to the imacs, and how well I can use Flash with Rosetta. I'd like to have really good performance, but don't really want to drop $3,000 on the tower/monitor, and am hoping that the powerPC imac has good performance on these applications.
So, these are my options:
-PowerPC G5 Tower, 2 GB RAM, 256 graphics card
-PowerPC iMAC, 1.5 GB RAM
-Intel iMAC, 2GB RAM, 256 graphics card
Thanks for any replies,

I'm using 20" intel imac with 1GB ram and 256MB
graphics card. Compared to my 1.33GHz/768MB G4
powerbook:
Photoshop CS runs faster on the imac
Flash 8 Pro is way faster and more responsive on the
imac
Dreamweaver 8 runs about the same on the
imac
12" pb g4 1.33/768,
20" imac core duo 2GHz/1GB Mac OS X (10.4.4)
you are running Photoshop and Flash in emulation mode, right? and its way faster than your powerbook? is it stable?
Mac OS X (10.3)

HP Smart scan software and saving

HP Smartscan v 2.70.000 on an HP Desktop and HP Scanjet 9000.
When we scan; say 50 pages using the HP Smart Scanning Software - we can then see all the 50 pages on the screen in the preview section. BUT when we save the scanned document as a PDF it sometimes only saves some of the pages - not all of them. This has only recently started to happen and it is not every time ! Help Regards Nigel

Same problem on my scanjet 7000
