Reinstalling indesign for mac (upgrade)

I reinstalled a mac and I need to reinstall Indesign bought as an upgrade. Can I do it with the upgrade directly or do I have to install the former version?

you can install the upgrade without installing the previous version. 
you will be prompted for both serial number.  be sure to use them in the correct order.

    WHatever issues you have are specifuc to your local system, not Adobe. Since you have not provided any shred of useful,technical details such as system info nobody can tell you anything.

    I have bough Indesign for Mac yesterday and I can't find my serial number any where. Who can help ?

    You have purchased CC, the order is still under transaction
    The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.
    In case you are being asked for serial number then you can refer to.
    Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number

  • InDesign CS4 Mac upgrade (CS5 won't work)

    Does anyone know how or where I can get an upgrade license for Mac InDesign CS4 (from CS3)?
    I have the CS4 trial version installed, but when I click to purchase a license, it goes to CS5 page. I have a Macintosh G5 which is not supported by CS5.
    I contacted Adobe Customer Service via live chat and they were unable to help.  He kept saying to go to a reseller.  But everywhere I search, CS4 is out of stock (except for illegitimate crack software).
    CS5 can't save CS3 files, so I am having problems with people sending me files, and one client wants to use CS4-compatible InCopy.
    I would love to get CS5, but I really can't afford a new computer right now.  But I could afford a CS4 upgrade.  I can't believe there isn't someone at Adobe who could generate a legitimate Macintosh InDesign CS4 upgrade serial number and sell it to me.

    Thanks Bob.
    I have a standalone license for InDesign.
    Good point on upgrading.  Although, it really isn't what I wanted to hear.
    I use InDesign at home for some freelance work, but it isn't my primary job.  Uprading all my software every version would be a pretty big chunk of what I actually make on my freelance work, especially last year when the economy was in the tank.

  • Do I need to reinstall iLife for os upgrade

    I'm thinking about moving my Mini Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard so I can use iCloud
    Will I need to reinstall iLife following the upgrade.

    The short answer is.. No.
    However, keep near by those SYSTEM and APPLICATIONS DVDs that came with your computer, just in case anything goes wrong.
    ... FYI... make sure to check SOFTWARE UPDATE after the install, for any updates to your iLife applications that will make them more compatible with Lion.

  • Purchased InDesign for Mac, want to use a PC

    If I already own InDesign CS6 for Mac, what are my options if I want to use it on a PC?  I use a Mac as my primary computer, but I have a powerful PC that I am interested in using as a backup.  I don't necessarily want to re-purchase my programs for it, though.

    With a perpetual license I think you could get a "cross-grade" to switch platforms, but only once, and it won't leave you any better off since you'd lose the Mac usability.

  • Indesign for Mac vs. Microsoft

    I use a MAC as work and have indesign on it. But it is my personal computer and I need it at home. My boss want me to get a microsoft to use at work and I am wondering if there is a difference if I get indesign for microsoft vs the MAC.

    InDesign is very cross-platform compatible in terms of functionality assuming you are running the same version of InDesign and are using OpenType or Windows-based TrueType fonts.
    If you are going to be running InDesign 9.x, make sure you always use the 64-bit version of InDesign on Windows.
    In terms of performance, InDesign on Windows has always (since InDesign 1.0) performed at least as well on Windows as on Macintosh.

  • How do i reinstall Safari for mac osx 10.7.2?

    I updated my Safari from 5.1.3 (I believe) to the latest Safari 7 (I believe). When I tried to open it, it said I needed to update my osx, which I don't want to do. Now I can't seem to go back to the Safari I had. I've tried installing version 5.1.1, but it says I need to have mac osx 10.6. My osx version is 10.7.2 and don't want to upgrade yet, but how do I get Safari back, and which version of Safari works in osx 10.7.2?
    What happened is not fair because when I was installing the new version of Safari, there was no warning about which osx I needed. Only after it replaced the old version did it say that I can't use it with my current osx. Is that Apple's way to force you to upgrade to the latest osx? Not fair! How can I reinstall Safari now?

    On a Mac running v10.7.2, the only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery.
    Safari 5.1.1 is for Snow Leopard. It will not run on a Mac with v10.7 installed.

  • I am having problems exporting to PDF using InDesign for Mac.

    Hi all!
    I just started using the Creative Suite on Mac and have run into a couple problems. One is that when I set up a document in InDesign using "Facing Pages" and then export to PDF, the document exports each set of "Facing Pages" as one singular spread (my 20 page InDesign document becomes a 10 page PDF). Once it is a PDF, there are no page break lines in the center of the spread to indicate that they are two separate pages, and when I try to set up viewing preferences in Acrobat (single or double page), it too recogrnizes each spread as a single page.
    When I used to do this in InDesign using Windows, whether I exported to PDF or printed to PDF from a document set up with "Facing Pages," each page would still be considered separate once converted to PDF (20 page InDesign docment becomes a 20 page PDF).
    This also leads me to my next question : I see that on Mac, there is no option for printing to PDF, but I notice a quality difference specifically when it comes to linework (vector information) that has been "placed" in the document from Illustrator. Is there any way to achieve the quality of printing to PDF on Mac?
    Thank you in advance!
    Gabby

    Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
    When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
    So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
    Unless you know something else I can do...
    Best, Marilyn

  • Office for Mac upgrade

    We just upgraded to Lion and our Mac for Office is not working...

    Office '04 is not compatible. '08 and '11 are (though I think there are a few compatability issues with '08).

  • I want to reinstall firefox for mac after uninstalling, but now whenever I download there is no corresponding file in my computer. I want firefox, help!

    I was having lots of problems with my firefox and the upgrades never worked on my mac, so I uninstalled. Now whenever I try to reinstall it through the homepage (and the more page that lists versions by language and OS--I am using Safari to download), the download "finishes" but there is absolutely NO file anywhere on my computer that represents a downloaded file. No .dmg pops up on my desktop; even when I search my computer there is virtually no file. I've tried this now about 20 times. I just want to use firefox!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Trying to reinstall CS5 for MAC but serial number will not work?

    Hello,
    I've lost my original installation CD, but I have my serial number. My computer crashed, so I lost everything and I tried downloading the trial version so I could enter my serial number onto it when the trial is over, but it will not accept my serial number?
    What can I do?
    On my Adobe Profile, it shows the serial number and when it was registered.
    Thank you.

    Hi there,
                   First, the answer depends on the exact error that you get.
                   1.  If the error is "invalid serial number", then you must be using the wrong installation media or Operating System. This is the main reason.
                   2.  If the error is " serial number is valid however it's previous qualifying serial number is not found ", the serial number you have is an upgrade serial number, which will require it's previous qualifying serial number which you need to have, previous qualifying versions supported are CS4, CS3 and CS2.
                   For further easy solution, I would suggest you contact adobe customer support.
    Thank you.
