Upgrade from PageMaker to InDesign. What version is best and will old serial number work?

I'd like to upgrade from PageMaker 6.5 to InDesign. Should I wait for InDesign C S5. Will InDesign C S5 support PageMaker? Or should I upgrade to InDesign C S4? And if I have an old serial number for PageMaker 6.5, how can I complete the upgrade? I understand the older PageMaker serial numbers are no longer recognized.

I understand that Adobe is already selling InDesign CS5 and therefore you would have no choice if you want to upgrade. I would think that the easiest way of finding if your PM serial number applies for an upgrade is to try buying an upgrade. You don't need to complete the purchase if you don't want to.

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Hello Bradley,
sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
But as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

I upgraded from the 4s to the 5s on Tuesday and requested my O2 number be carried over to my new EE contract. Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??

If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

Will my serial number work for old versions?

I am a teacher and have a newer version of the software than my students do. I would like to demo in the same version they use, but it is no longer sold - will my serial number work for older versions of the same program?

No, the serial number is tied to the version/license you purchased. Can't you acquire the software in the same way that your students have to?

Is there any way to still upgrade from final cut 5 to final cut 7 using my original serial number?

Hi there,
I had my macbook pro 15inch(2010 model) stolen a week ago. I was running on Snow Leopard, and I used Final Cut 5.
I am a bit out of touch with how much the technology and upgrades have changed (don't chastise me for it!), and have discovered that any new laptop I buy will come with the Mavericks operating system, which obviously won't allow my FCP5 to run.
I have also been told that I can't simply upgrade to a newer version of FCP, but that I would have to purchase the entire suite again, and that would mean purchasing FCPX, which I would prefer not to buy because of all the changes that it brought to the program.
First of all, is it standard procedure to have to purchase entire suites all over again once each new version is brought out? I was under the impression that once purchased, you could upgrade, seeing as you had made the commitment of spending the money in the first place. Apologies if this is a terribly daft question, but I would appreciate the assistance!
Secondly, if I don't want to upgrade to FCPX, does anyone know if there is a way to still upgrade to FCP7, either by purchasing it or updating it using my serial number details from FCP5? I bought it legitimately and I'm trying to find out if there is a way to avoid spending thousands all over again!
Your help would be appreciated:)

It been a while, but I believe you just need the serial number of FC 5 for the FCS 3 installer. If I were you, I would verify that over at the Final Cut Studio forum before purchasing the update disks.
I just checked Amazon and there is a $600 difference in the update and full versions; they list (one) unopened upgrade boxed set at $795 while an unopened set of the full version currently is proced at $1295 (a $300 premium over the price Apple used to charge!).
Something you might want to ponder: the question of how much to invest in a suite of software that is no longer being supported by Apple. Even though I'm able to run FCP 7 and its related apps largely without issues on Mavericks, who knows how long or well that will work in the future?
Also, if you're at all curious about whether the changes you mentioned in FCP X are value-added or not, you can always download the trial version and find out first hand. If you do, invest a little time with some of a few tutoirals offered by by a variety of highly regarded FCP X intructors. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Good luck.

Upgrade from Pagemaker to InDesign?

Can PM7 files be opened on converted to inDesign? I would like to upgrade to InDesign but am unsure as to the path.

Do use the free trial first, because opening PM files in InDesign can be from completely successful to a complete failure.

After upgrading from 4.01 to 5.0 the Flashplayer and Java environment don't work.

Made an update yesterday morning 21/6 from 4.01 to 5.0. It worked except that LastPass gives an error message at login, but it still works. Later 21/6 I downloaded an update from Mozilla. After that no Flashplayer plugins like in YouTube work. Neither does Java like in http://hem.ektv.nu/~ekt000851/mane.html, that I use as a test site.
However my most precious plug in Nexus Personal works in both versions. I cant figure out what is the difference.
I run Firefox on Linux Mint LMDE 64 bit in the /home/directory/

Installing InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0

I have purchased InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0. I have also purchased a new computer on which I have installed it. When I run
CS4 it offers me a trial version or enter a serial number. I entered my PM7 serial number but that doesn't work. Do I need to
have PM7 installed before I install CS4 for this to all work? If so, do I now need to uninstall CS4, install PM7, reinstall CS4 and then uninstall PM7 after it all works?? When I've used an upgrade before it hasn't need the actual files to be on the PC just the serial number. Running Windows XP Professional. Adobe support didn't help at all!!

I think you may need to call customer service. There have been a number of reports of trouble installing the PM to ID upgrades, often due to odd serial numbers carried forward from earlier PM installations.
That said, I think the first time you are asked for a serial number it is probably the number of the CS4 upgrade that you need (since the other option is as a trial). Presumably you have that number becasue you paid for the license. After that I would expect the installer to look for PM or ask for the disk or serial number. Having the PM disk will probably help.

Indesign Upgrade from Pagemaker

Hello I recently purchased a upgrade to InDesign CS 5.5. I own Pagemaker 6.5, but that is not one of the options to upgrade from in the drop down menu.
It should be an option to upgrade from correct? Indesign CS 3 4 & 5 appear in the drop down for software to upgrade from. Is there any reason why Pagemaker does not appear as an option to upgrade from?

Upgarde to Indesign cs5.5 from pagemaker 6.5 is valid.....you are facing this issue because when you purchased the product you chose the upgarde from the previous Indesign vesion rather then chossing it from Pagemaker , or you might have missed this option .
You need to contact Adobe support to sort it out as it is a valid upgarde it just that you choose the wrong upgarde path..which is not the majot problem.
