Upgrading from an older version of Photoshop

I was once told by someone on the Internet who was selling Photoshop that the version he was selling could not be upgraded.  He said it was an OEM version.  Is there such a thing as an OEM version of Photoshop, or a version that is not upgradable?  I did not purchase his copy.

All legal versions of Photoshop can be upgraded.
All Pirate versions can't.

  • Retrieving Missing Sync Settings When Upgrading From an Older Version of Firefox to the latest version.

    I initially set up my Sync account using an add-on for an older version of Firefox and have since upgraded to the latest version. But now my browser acts as if I don't have a sync account set up at all. When I attempt to create a new account, it says that my email address is already being used which tells me that my sync information is still on the the servers. So how do I retrieve my sync settings when settings are missing within my browser?

    I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

  • Upgrading from an older version of Robohelp.

    I have just sat on the telephone for over an hour with no response!  The company I work for own an older version of Robohelp Office - Versions 9.0/9.2 and 2002, we have all the serial numbers, licence numbers etc, and we would like to know whether we can just purchase the upgrade to the new robohelp or whether we have to purchase the full licence.  Any help would be great!

    I'd be rather surprised if it was right. The product upgrade page says only version X5, 6 and 7 can be upgraded. Click here to see it.
    Read the RoboColum(n).

  • When upgrade from an older firefox version where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after upgrade to v26?

    What's the user experience if he/she upgrade from an older version of Firefox, where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after the user upgrade to Firefox v26?

    If plugins.click_to_play was set to true, it might. I am finding that click-to-play is not working very well with Firefox. Whether the plugins are set to Always Activate or Ask to Activate, it allows everything from a website to load once it is allowed from the icon in the address bar. I also have the extension Click to play per-element, and that seems to make no difference.

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
    Thanks

    I downloaded some photos that were from an older version of iPhoto,I was asked to  install the application to upgrade/. (Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.)

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended upgrade from CS3 Student Version

    I was looking for the Student upgrade from CS3 to CS4 for Photoshop, but could not find it.
    I only saw the regular upgrade edition, not the student one.
    Could anybody please help me?
    Thanks in advance

    There is no such thing as a student upgrade. Your educational version of Photoshop entitles you to upgrade to the commercial version of Photoshop but you'll pay the same price as everybody else.
    I'm assuming that ($199.99) is still cheaper than buying a new, full educational version.

  • Should I deactivate my older version of Photoshop prior to upgrading?

    Can I deactivate and remove older versions of Photoshop after upgrading?

    Yes, though it is better to have done it before installing the new version to help avoid any potential for removing some file(s) that might be shared.

  • Do I need to uninstall older version of Photoshop first?

    Nowhere in the FAQs or Install instrucitons, either the text or video install instructions, can I find any reference to the need or lack of the need, to uninstall an older version of Photoshop prior to downloading and installing the newer version. Specifically I will be upgrading from CS2 to CS5.
    Should I then assume it is not necesary? And if so would it be wise once the upgrade is done, that then I should uninstall CS2?
    Thanks
    Forgot to mention I am using an older but competant desktop which funtions fine using CS2. Windows 32 bit, XP Sp3 Home Edition, 2.56GB RAM.

    There is no need to uninstall CS2 before or after. You might find that some things are easier to do in CS2, creating PDF presentations etc. (now moved to Bridge)

  • Open Pages documents from an older version

    I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to.  My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now.  I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway.  I really need these documents. What can I do?

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

  • How do I import my type file library from an older version of cs2

    I recently upgraded to cc from cs2 and now need to know how to import my type font library from my older version. All of my current artwork is not being displayed correctly because the fonts aren't recognized.

    There are a some fonts that gets installed with the Adobe app, and only get loaded when Ilustrator is booted.
    /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app/Required/Fonts/
    To better help you will need answers to these questions
    What OS you are on
    What fonts you are having trouble with
    Do you use any font utility such as an Extensis product, or fontbook on mac to manage you fonts.
    as this also may be a problem with your font cache needing to be reset.

  • How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

    If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
    If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.

  • 16 bit depth photo restoration, older version of Photoshop.

    I use an older version of Photoshop.  It is able to import and read a 16 bit depth file.  Though it is limited in what it can do with this bit depth, it can do the levels and curves adjustments on an image. I want to have the best quality scan to start with for photo restoration in my older Photoshop. I won't be able to directly import the file with my older Photoshop from the scanner.  If I scan a photo as a 16 bit 600 ppi image, I'm afraid color information will be lost when I open it in the older Photoshop.  Is there any way I can open and save such a file without losing all that good color information? I know I would need to save it in a format that supports 16 bit depth like png versus jpeg.

    Not exactly sure how Image Capture works on lion, but i belive i read that since os x 10.5 that it should scan in 16 bits/channel
    Are you able to use the software that came with the scanner instead of Image Capture or maybe you need to update your scanner software or
    possibly check the preference in the Image Capture scanner preferences to use Twain Software When Possible.
    Or scanner software like VueScan which is much better than most software that ships with scanners.

    Anyway if the scan is saved as a 16 bits/channel tif as output by the scanner to a place (folder) on your hard drive, then ps7 should open it as such.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

    Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

    There are three current version of CS6  perpetual  versions Mac version 13.0.6 and Windows Version version 13.0.1.3 and there is a creative cloud  sibscruption version 13.1.2.
    If you running Windows on a 64Bit system and install Perpetual CS6 it would have installed at version 13.0.0 and the be updated to version 13.0.1.3.  Both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of Photoshop would have been installed on your windows system.   The 32 bit version will be in your windows  "Program Files (x86)" tree anf the 64 bit version in the "Program Files" tree there should be two startup icon in the start button for starting CS6.
    There would also be a 32 bit and 64 bit windows subscription version installed on windows.  
    Mac CS6 is 64bit only.
