Thinking about new computer and Adobe upgrades

Hi,
I'm contemplating a new computer and upgrading InDesign. I bought Photoshop cs3 to replace 7.01 but it was crash prone and cumbersome so I removed it from my computer and went back to 7.01 (never crashes - has never crashed).
I use OS 10.4.11 on the old non intel mac. If I get a new intel mac with 10.5 I will need to upgrade from ID2.
Is it possible to load the latest versions of ID and Illustrator without the bridge?
and
What is your favorite imposition software that works well with ID4?
Garrett

Thanks Eric,
Your idea is the surprising kind of reason I would like to upgrade to a newer machine than a g4 with os 10.4.11. And I totally agree that auto update is a real drag if you don't want it, that's partly why I unloaded photoshop cs3 and stuck with 7.01, and now gimp. Still, there is no way to replace indesign or illustrator, they are the best.
I avoided cs3 because of all the controversy around command z doing weird stuff and I'm hoping things get back to normal on that score with cs4.
Yes, the ability to install the exact functionality one wants rather than bloated-evolutionary-drift-to-complexity is the vector to sustainability on all intellectual vectors.
Tim, you are working in a way that bridge helps, a few of us are more sedate and struggle with a story that builds around limited or no graphic selections, from this perspective, bridge is a bother when it suddenly starts up. It would be nice to be able to take or leave it, rather than be forced to accept what is an added function that may be the cause of crashing.
Cordially,
Garrett

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow. Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro?

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow.
Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return new computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro? I'm mostly still happy with existing MacBookPro, but Aperture doesn't work, the computer can't handle it.
Other possibility is setting up virtual machine with Snow Leopard server software on new computer.
Any opinions on what would allow moving forward with the least hassle and best workflow continuity?

Upgraded to Windows 7, now iTunes thinks it's a new computer and is making me authorize it

My computer was recently upgraded to Windows 7, and iTunes now thinks it's a new computer and is forcing me to authorize it as a new one (which uses the number of computers I can authorize). Not only that, but it's making me do it more than once, so this same laptop has now been authorized 3 times. Any way to let iTunes know it's confused, and/or to put it back? Also since the upgrade it will only download sporadic episodes of TV seasons I have purchased, not sure if it's related....

Go into iTunes, select the iTunes store, and in the upper right hand corner of the browser, you'll see your account name. Clikc on that, and you'll access an area where you can edit the details about your account. One of the choices is to de-autorize all your computers. Do that. Then authorize the one you want.

Just install Lightroom 5 on the new machine and activate it using the serial number from your purchase. You do not need to have the older version installed though you might need information from it.

Make a new Apple ID for her.

Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

When I tried to do so, my only option seemed to be Adobe Cloud. When I was asked for my LR serial number, it was not accepted. Please help me install these two products; I prefer stand-alone, rather than a monthly fee. Thank you

Hi Ianpce,
You need to download and install Adobe Acrobat on the new machine to use it.
You can use the same subscription or the serial number to activate the product.
Thanks

VC6. is rather old, but you can try to convert the VC6 project using the upgrade wizard of VC2012. Depending on the content of the project your code will work more or less without problems, at least it will compile without errors.
You could also go the 2nd way and create in VC2012 a project type using the wizard that is very similar to your current VC6 projcet (MDI, SDI, Dialog Based, ...). Than you replace the files generated by the wizard with the content of your project. Sometimes
this way is more successful.
But at all the automated converting success depends on the code of your VC6 project. I had both, conversions without big problems and also conversions that need a lot changes to run on a current VC version.
Best regards
Bordon

Hi marisaz96078795,
Yes, You would have to purchase the latest version of Acrobat. Acrobat has evolved over the time, and i am sure you will love using our Latest version.
You can view the feature list page of Acrobat XI Pro and buy it from this Link : Features, PDF documents | Acrobat XI Pro
