Transferring CS3 to new computer and upgrading to CS6

I am wanting to transfer my Adobe CS3 suite to my new Macbook Pro. I'm worried about not being able to access my design files correctly once transferring to my new computer. I'm also interested in upgrading to the latest CS6. Any advice would be appreciated!

To install your CS3 Suite, don't try to copy the application files. If possible, use the installer discs or a copy of the installer file you original used to install on your old computer. If you don't have the original discs/installer file, you can download the installer here:
Other downloads
Deactivate CS3 on your old computer.
As to buying the latest CS6, you can do that from the Adobe Store.

You will need to contact Adobe support thru chat to see if they can help resolve the problem.

Is there a way to keep all your stuff on your ipod after transferring to a new computer and being able to get new stuff on it while the old stuff is still on the ipod???

Okay so I had my itunes on my moms computer and now her computer is broken and I need to buy stuff on itunes (And I want to see my wish list again). How can I transfer all my old stuff over to this new computer with out changing anything or having anything deleted but at the same time being able to put new stuff on from the computer???

Try this way:
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Saving data to a computer before setting it up again is also explained here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

How do I find an install for Acrobat 9 so I can put it on a new computer and upgrade it?

I need to move my old license of Acrobat 9 to a new computer. I plan on upgrading it but I can't find the original install files. I refuse to pay for another full copy to move it, and under the my adobe account there is no download option next to Acrobat 9. I did download the XI trial but can't do anything with it now that the trial has expired. How can i get the old files so i can move it and upgrade it? Also when i co onto the old computer and look under help the Deactivation option is gray, and I can't select it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

When the trial asked me to register it I put my Acrobat 9 serial number in and it told me that it was not valid. It's the serial number that my "My Adobe" account gave me for the Acrobat 9 copy. Is there somewhere else I am suppossed to put it in at?

New computer and upgrade to Lightroom 4

In the past Lightroom upgrades would recognize the images of the previous version with no problem. However I had to upgrade to a new computer to install Lightroom 4 as a result the program does not seek out the stored images on my server. How do I get LR4 to locate them with out loosing data in a manual transfer?

Ask in the LR forums how to migrate your catalogs.

Just installed CS3 on new computer and none of the programs run

I've had my CS3 for 3ish years now. It worked fine on my old computer, which had XP Home.
Now I have Windows 7 64 bit edition, and everything installed fine, but the programs won't run. Dreamweaver and Bridge just don't even appear, and Photoshop will load the grey program loading screen but nothing else. It'll stay there forever and when you click anywhere on the window, it says "Program not responding".
Help, please! I have some work I have to do and I don't know how to get this up and running.

I recently re-booted my system (windows 7) and have been re-installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3).
None of the programs load because it needs to verify my license and the pop-up which asks me to enter my license is not popping up so I am unable to load any of the softwares.
This issue has already been solved and I downloaded a patch to fix this from the Adobe website last year and it worked perfectly.
That patch has since been removed. (KB401528)

Can you please allow me to download this patch? The page shows up as "Not Found".

New Computer and upgraded FCP

I am purchasing a new Mac Pro. Currently I have Final Cut Studio 5.1 (universal) which was offered as an upgrade about a year ago at a low price for those with FCP 4 (for PPC). When I install my 5.1 version on my new Mac Pro, will I first have to install the old original FCP to be successful in installing 5.1?
Thanks

The older version of FCP won't need to be installed, but you will need to enter the serial number for the older version when prompted to do so during the 5.1 install process.

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

Move Acrobat license to new machine and upgrade at same time... not accepting old serial number

I had Acrobat 9 Pro on an old computer. I am moving to a new computer. I wanted to move my old license to the new computer and upgrade. The online sales guy told me I needed to deactivate and uninstall on the old computer (done), then download the upgrade and install it (done, using the serial number provided when I purchased the upgrade). Now, Acrobat XI says there is no old version on the machine (true... I was told I didn't need to install it) and it asked for a serial number. I entered the serial number off of the box that Acrobat 9 Pro came in and the program tells me it is not a valid serial number. What should I do???

Hi Acemoore,
There are no issues with serial numbers. Please login to Adobe.com and check the serial numbers you are entering are correct.

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all my songs were transferred to my new computer along with itunes. But I can't get it to work. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

I just bought a new computer and had files transferred along with itunes to the new computer. I can't get it to work. It doesn't recognize the extensions for itunes. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

When attempting to play songs on itunes, getting error message that file cannot be found and asked if i want to locate it. not sure where it went. do have new computer and all files were transferred to new machine.

I just tried to play some songs that i have in itunes and i get an error message that says file can't be located. It appears to be on about half the songs of the thousands I have in there. I do have a new computer and transferred the itunes library about a month ago. I have successfully managed ipod on new computer. I wonder if it is a licensing issue but this is just the second computer althought the third hard drive these songs have been on. It is affecting songs loaded from CD's and purchased from itunes on the old computer alike.

Hi angela dfromtx,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct? However, they will not sync with the device? Are these video or audio podcasts?
How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts? You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right. Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.
