Upgrade to CS5 from Pagemaker 7

I have an acquaintance who has both Pagemaker 7 and Creative Suite 3. He can't afford to upgrade the entire suite right now, but wants InDesign CS5. Can he take advantage of the $199 upgrade using his PM7 license and still use his older creative suite products such as Photoshop and Bridge?

Thanks, Peter and Bob! I think he has a standalone CS3 installation, so he should be okay.

Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6
Cheers!

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8 - where are my sites?

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8. I am running Mac OS 10.5.8. I was expecting that when I launched CS5 for the first time it would find whatever files it need from my Dreamweaver 8 and my sites would be available in CS5. However, I don't see any of my sites that I manage regularly in Dreamweaver 8. How do I import them in?
Thanks.

Beacuse of the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 my Dreamweaver 8 (unexpectedly) stopped working altogether so I had to upgrade to CS5.5
(which, functionally, I didn't even want to do (yet)).
Although it was an upgrade, it didn't take my site settings from v8.
How can I get them now, as Dreamweaver 8 stopped working!?
Please advice as there are settings in there that clients have entered themselves and are not tracked anywhere else.
Ansd is there a way to get CS5.5 to actually work with our html5 / css3 sites as it shows them all garbled?
I hoped this would at least solve this issue, but it sure hasn't :-(
Kind regards

Upgrade to CS5 from CS4 Performance issues

This was originally posted in the Creative Suites section. Bob Levine suggested I try a specific program forum to get better attention. It has been a present performance problem for me with Premier Pro and Photoshop so I shall try here.
I have been using CS4 for several months on a new i7 quad 64bit PC with 4 x 1TB HDs and 12GB RAM. When I use Photoshop or P.Pro, the performance is fast for several operations but slows down as I progress to a snail pace. At times, I have rebooted the PC to get up to speed again. I do not know if this is a problem with the CS4 32 bit program working on a 64 bit machine, even with Photoshop. Perhaps I am clicking too fast. If I install the source file on a separate drive to the C drive and send the output file to a third drive, performance improves as expected. Perhaps timing within/between drives and the 32 bit program may be a problem on a 64 bit PC. I have ordered an upgrade to CS5 hoping that a 64 bit program will provide better performance on the 64 bit PC. Naturally the PC performance is expected to be faster, but will the performance that slows down to a snail pace improve?

Thank you all for your information.
I am beginning to imagine that because of the increased speed in dealing with data, an i7 quad 64 bit PC has a challenging time to switch and route the stream of data to the various processing and temporary/permanent storage locations. It could be that dealing with 32 bit data for the demands of video editing compounds the problem. I may have one or several slower components in the new PC. In anycase, I am hoping that dealing directly with 64 bits will improve the performance. If this does not and without further suggestions from the forum, I will have the performance of the PC components thoroughly tested for compliance to the required speed specifications.

Can I upgrade to CS5 from CS4 if CS4 is not on my computer?

I downloaded CS4 from the internet and ran it on my computer until the computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I now have CS4 on a backup disk ONLY, and it won't install from the disk for some reason. I get this error message:
UI mode: Full GUI
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
If I upgrade to CS5, does CS4 have to be on my new hard drive to do so? I DO have the registration number for my copy of CS4. I don't want to pay the full price for CS5 when I can pay for the upgrade only.
Thanks!

If you downloaded the CS4 product, then you can still access the download files from your Adobe account. Log in to your account and look under My Orders. (If you weren't able to deactivate the previous installation, you'll need assistance from a support agent before you can reinstall the CS4 software.)
However, you don't need CS4 installed in order to install the upgrade. You do, however, need the CS4 serial number.

Epson r1900 Prints too dark after upgrading to cs5 from cs3

Ok this one has got me stumped. While still in photoshop CS3 my epson r1900 was printing photo's just fine. After upgrading cs3 to Photoshop cs5 it now prints everything too blue. Nothing else has changed. My monitor is still calibrated, my printer paper profiles are still the same, the only change was upgrading to cs5. To me it looks all the world like ICM is being applied twice (in photoshop and the printer) but in photoshop I have selected "photoshop manages colors" just like I did in cs3, and in the print dialog box for the printer, I have selected no ICM again just like I did in CS3. But now the prints come out with a, to my eye, dark blue tint. Very very frusterating. I have deleted the color prefs file and let that recreate, but that did not help either. I am out of tricks. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Patrick

There were a lot of reports of "double profiling" with Epson printers when Photoshop CS5 was first released. I believe many people were seeing magenta-looking prints at that time.
Unfortunately, I don't think there was ever a resolution or even a good workaround... I recall at least one person bought a new printer to be able to continue to work.
Of course, double check to see whether Epson has released any updated printer drivers.
As I don't have an Epson myself, I can only suggest that you'll want to experiment with your settings to see if you can find a way to disable color management in the printer driver, so that only Photoshop does it - or disable color-management in Photoshop so that only the printer driver will do it.

Help! Upgrade Fireworks CS5 (from Creative Suite 5 Web Premium) to Fireworks CS6 not working!

Today I bought and downloaded Fireworks CS6 from the Adobe webshop as an update for my Fireworks CS5 that was included in my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium-set.
But during the installation of Fireworks CS6 the serial number of my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium - needed for the installer to verify that I could 'legaly' upgrade - was not accepted! So now I can use Fireworks CS6 only as a try-out-version...
What can I do? If Creative Suite 5 Web Premium isn't the right upgrade-version: how can I get my money back? Or is there another solution?
Please help Adobe!
And thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply. but how do I manually weed out the install entries in my registry? could you please guide me with the steps? This http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html is not working I am afraid. I understand that I need to uninstall the creative suite before I run CS cleaner. But as I explained in my first question, the uninstallation is not working at all. Even I could uninstall the software, I am afraid that I may get into trouble if installatin is not working. All I want is that my photoshop error " save for web devices " which was grayed out should work as normal. This error happened after I moved the plug-ins.
Thanks

Upgrade to CS5 from CS3

I am trying to install CS5 upgrade on a new PC. I have a licensed copy of CS3 with the serial number. When I install CS5, it asked me for the serial number which I put it. It then asks me for the CS3 number which I also put it but it will not accept it. Can you help so I can use CS5. Thank you

I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, the ftp worked for me in CS3, but not in CS5

I believe the settings are the same but when I transfer a file up to the site, it appears to get truncated. The web page appears blank, and when I use the browser to view source there is barely 1 line of html.
When I transfer the same file using Windows Explorer logged into the ftp site, the file transfers and the web page displays properly. What did I miss in the new confuration?

Windows explorer? Really? Plenty of other FTP solutions out there.
Anyways, there is a new setting in CS5 but it should be disabled if the site was defined back in CS3. Manage your site and edit the FTP server information. There is an arrow for More Options and the new option is for FTP Performance Optimization. Try disabling that and see if you are able to transfer files again. If it is not, you should click on Site->Advanced->FTP Log and consult with your host the result of the log.

Upgrading to CS5 from CS2

When it comes to installing CS5, what happens to CS2?
Is it like the old days when the two versions wold happily sit side-by-side (except for Acrobat) or does CS2 have to be removed?
And file associations are linked to to the newer applications?

Thanks, Bob.
I'm hoping to have CS5 in place for Christmas - one reason being that I'm getting too many files that AI and Acrobat complain about as they've been created using a more recent version.

Xerox Stapling Capability From Illustrator Lost with upgrade to CS5

I work for a company that manufactures pinback buttons. Our process is as follows: Our customers upload the artwork for their buttons. We layout up to 35 pieces of that artwork on a single 8.5x11 sheet in Illustrator then send that to print a stack of sheets depending on the quantity of the button order. For example if the order was for 500 1" round buttons, we layout a sheet with 35 pieces of artwork, then print a stack of 15 pages. Which will give 525 pieces of artwork for production. Our printer, a Xerox 700 Digital Press, is set to finish with a double staple on the left. Then we manually staple the other 3 sides, so the stack is held secure when the art is die-cut from the sheets.
We upgraded to CS5 from CS3 last year. When we had CS3 we could send a print job of 15 pages from Illustrator and we would get a stack of 15 pages stapled. Now printing from Illustrator CS5 the stapler is bypassed. We only get unstapled stacks. We will get stapled stacks from other software, ie: Word, Acrobat, Mail, just not from Illustrator. The printer's stapling capabilities were a very helpful feature as it would ensure a better registration from sheet to sheet than stapling by hand. This leads to less reprinting to compensate for crooked, or off-register die cuts.
Something in the upgrade to CS5 killed our stapler from Illustrator. I've contacted Xerox on this issue, and since I can get it to staple from other software, they sent me to Adobe. I contacted Adobe, who didn't understand my issue at all. "But sir, there are no settings for stapling in Illustrator." Thank god for outsourcing. Which brings me here.
Any Ideas?

I'm currently running OSX 10.6.7 with Illustrator CS5 15.0.2.
The latest print driver available for our printer is from February of 2010, which we are up to date on.
Here's a screenshot of the Command Workstation settings for the virtual printer I'm sending to, you can see that left double stapling is selected on the fifth line from the bottom:
I just did a test print using these Fiery Features settings from Illustrator:
The result was six pages unstapled.
Now, I've created a pdf of the same document. Printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, with these settings:
The result is a stapled 6 page stack.
The workaround solution is to create pdfs and print from Acrobat, but this adds unnecessary steps and time to our process.

Upgraded to CS5, now can't publish pages.

I upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and am now getting the error "either the network is unavailable or you don't have permission to publish to this location". Any ideas?

I confirmed that my client could ftp to our server from her machine. Basically checked off all the things they suggested doing on their support page. I ended up calling support. I had wanted to do a conference call with my client as they are in a different community than I am but could not get a hold of her. The support person had me check a couple of things on my end ie. ftp using my clients log in credentials and add/modify/delete folders on the server which I was able to. The support person wanted to try ftp’ing to our server but I told them they couldn’t because it’s behind a firewall. Our clients are internal and therefore can access our server with the correct credentials.
Later on the support person contacted my client directly and suggested that she download the trial version of CS5 and install it on a different machine (she had CS3 and upgraded to CS5 on her computer). She tried, much to my disappointment to tell my client that there was an issue with her connecting to our server because she (the support person) could not connect even after I told her she wouldn’t be able to.
So, my client did install the trial version of CS5 on another machine and it worked. I started thinking either there was something messed up on her machine or it was a bad install. Since she had a copy of CS3 I got her to uninstall Contribute, re-install CS3 and the CS5 upgrade and it worked.
Have you tried ftp’ing to your server using the same credentials as what are stored in Contribute using a command prompt or another application like CuteFTP? And you confirmed that you can add/modify/delete folders while ftp’d onto the server? Has your CS5.0 ever worked i.e. did you have it installed on a different machine and it worked? Can you uninstall Contribute 5.0 and download the trial and see if it works?
Sorry! I’m just trying to think of things to get you going. I know it’s frustrating. I’ve definitely been there! The support person I had talked to was actually pretty good. She emailed and called us at our convenience. It’s unfortunate that I was expecting to have experience similar to yours.

Full version pshop CS (8), upgraded to CS4. Recieved the free upgrade to CS5... will this work?

Hi,
Appologies if this seems like a stupid enquiry. I'll keep it quick and simple.
I had been running a full version of photoshop CS (aka photoshop version 8). I just bought the upgrade to CS4 and also (to answer other questions on this forum) I just received the free upgrade to CS5 from Adobe. Not having an intel Mac yet I plan to sit on my CS5 upgrade till I have the machine to run it. My question to anyone who knows/has done this, can I install my CS5 upgrade given that my original full copy of photoshop was version CS (ie. more than 3 versions back)...?
I have seen this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2734196#2734196
but it still leaves me unsure (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
Before anyone asks I have asked Adobe via the customer support portal and they said that I 'could install CS5 upgrade from CS4 upgrade' (which still doesn't answer the question, does my having CS stop me upgrading to CS5 due to the "3 version back upgrade policy"...?
Thanks for the help!
Matt

Matt,
Focus for a second please:
All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. If the upgrade does not find a previous version installed, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well. That's all.
You now have a valid CS4 serial number. When you install CS5, the installer will look for a previously installed version. If you have installed CS4, it will proceed automatically to install CS5. If you did not install CS4, just use its serial number when prompted. (NOTE: This is based on the assumption that CS was indeed a qualifying version to upgrade to CS4. I don't remember what the requirements were back then.)
I have Photoshop 7.0.1, 8 (CS), 9.0.2 (CS2), 10.1 (CS3) and 11.0.1 (CS4) installed on my machine. All those are upgrades from my original full version 4 of Photoshop from many, many years ago. I can run all of them on my machine, even simultaneously If I wanted to, by launching the older version(s) first. In practice, I have run two versions simultaneously without any problems.
Just have your CS4 serial number handy.
Now, be advised that an awful lot of users are having nightmarish difficulties with the CS5 installer. If you run into trouble, don't blame it on the serial number, just blame the extraordinarily incompetent members of the pathetic installer team. That's a team outside of the Photoshop engineering team that has proven a disgraceful embarrassment to Adobe engineers and executives. A senior program manager has even admitted in private correspondence that he can't write in public what he would like to do to the members of the installer team.

… (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
Of course I could, if I wanted to and had an Intel machine. However, I have rejected Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I will stay with CS4 and Tiger 10.0.4.11 for the foreseeable future, which means for the remainder of my life expectancy, as I can't afford a new machine.

Matt, the "3 version back upgrade policy" simply means that you have to have a valid serial number for one of the three versions, and you do have a valid number for CS4, which in turn was based on your valid number for CS.
Stop tormenting yourself.

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.
