Upgrading my Adobe Indesign 3.0.

I have a MAC system 10.5.8. I am using an old Adobe Indesign 3.0 and need to upgrade in order to open an inported document of a newer version. However, I still want access to my old InDesign documents. Which upgrade to I go with and how should this be done?

The only version of Creative Suite that qualifies for an upgrade is CS5 which means you will have to start again and buy the latest version as InDesign 3.0 does not qualify.
You will also need to update you MacOS as 10.5.8 is not compatible with the latest version which is CS6 which is the only version available now.
If you have a PowerPC Mac then you are stuck as you can't update the MacOS beyond 10.5.8. Intel Macs should be OK but it might depend on the particular model.

Upgrading from Adobe InDesign CS to CS6?

Upon cleaning up the IT room I found a copy of Adobe InDesign CS. I wonder if I can upgrade it to CS6 for use. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

No I am sorry Cute Panda but InDesign CS is not eligible to be upgraded. In addition the activation server for InDesign CS has been shut down. You can find more details at Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3. In addition I would recommend reviewing Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products.

Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working - t for text - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
t for text
z for zoom
v for pointer
It's annoying because now I have to keep going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
Annoying but workable.
Has anyone else go this issue?
An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING!!!
I was contacted by apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
They logged in to my computer via team viewer
installed utorrent
and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
you have been warned!

I have a mac, In"Design CS 5.5, a design gave me a file said it was CS 6, does not open in CS 5.5..Message says "Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." I think I need to buy upgrade from 5.5 to 6. I found one on NextTechDirect for $150 to download. they are not a scam according to "scamadvisor.com."
When I drag the InDesign file that that was supplied by another designer who said it was CS 6 onto my desktop it says CS 5.5. Is that because I only have CS 5.5?
Should I buy this
Adobe InDesign CS6 Upgrade from CS5.5 WIN/MAC [Download] from Next tech....it is obviosly higher on the adobe site and alot of other places?

No one is likely to recommend where you buy your software from other than Adobe in these forums... not so much because of support for Adobe, but mostly because of lack of support/knowledge of any third party vendors. I only know from experience that when you invest in bargain pricing you usually get what you pay for.

Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how? Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem. Adobe upgrade site crashes on me. ?

You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
>says OS problem
What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

It isn't happening to everyone else, but if there was a trend of it happening to a lot of people, that would probably show up in the official InDesign user forum. But there aren't a lot of crash reports there, so it isn't something that's happening to everyone. There are a couple, so you might look at those. But since there is not a huge wave of crash reports, the problem might be more related to a problem on the system rather than a problem with InDesign, like a corrupted font.
The best place to troubleshoot is probably over at the Adobe forum since the users there know InDesign very well.

I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.

In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network. I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
The exact message I get is: "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 plugin error

Help - I have InDesign CS5.5 (version 7.5.1.304) and when I go to open a file from a client i get an error message that reads:
Cannot open - Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign. The document I am trying to open is a InDesign® CS5.5 Document??
Tried to update the plug ins and keep getting errors - arghhhhh

No it's not and if you update CS5.5 to 7.5.4 you'll see a whole new alert.

Adobe InDesign CS5 Has Stopped Working (installation issue)

Please allow me to preface this by saying that this situation is RESOLVED, but I wish to share what happened to me with others for information purposes as I couldn't find anything regarding this issue online last night (mind, I was quite exhausted so might have missed it).
The situation:
I have CS5 Master Collection Upgrade. I performed the installation. All apps working just fine EXCEPT Adobe InDesign (see error in title).
Beating of head against the wall continues for five hours as I uninstall, use cleaner, defrag, reinstall (you know the routine) SEVERAL times (why I thought doing it just once more might make a difference is beyond me). I knew this install should work because I was using the entire CS5 suite only a few days ago until my system suffered a serious failure and require reformatting, reinstalling etc.
So... after a couple of hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (an almost first for me in about 15 years or so of using Adobe products), it was discovered that InDesign's plugin directory was corrupt (rather, one or more files were laid down corrupt). Uninstalling and using the cleaner DOES NOT remove the temp/backup files. I knew something was up when I reinstalled the upgrade and it did not ask for my CS4 code (even after using a M$ reg cleaner), and this confirms it.
Also I noticed that InDesign is being laid down during the transition from Disc 1 to Disc 2. A colleague of mine had an odd issue with his PC not accepting Disc 2 at first (a few weeks ago). I can only conclude that for some people, and some installations (because my first installation was flawless), InDesign will lay down its plugins corrupt.
As I said, this is resolved now (I copied over the plugin directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Plug-Ins) from my colleague's PC where InDesign was working fine), but I wanted to share in case this spares someone else the pain and suffering I just experienced.
The irony, of course, is I'm under deadline and of all the programs right now, I needed InDesign the most! LOL.
Cheers, everyone.
Alex

I am operating in Windows Vista. The last time I used the program it was responding normal and it closed out normally.
I haven't added any fonts and have cleaned out my recovery folder and it is still doing it.
My machine froze yesterday morning and I had to do a hard reboot, but I was not working in ID at the time and it wasn't open. Everything else is working normally. Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I did uninstall and reinstall the program and of course that didn't solve anything.
Any other advice is appreciated. I am at a loss.

Adobe InDesign CS3 won't load

I purchase Adobe CS2 in 2005 and later upgraded to CS3 as a dowload from oline. Adobe indesign is asking to re-install, however the disks for cs2 no longer works on my mac ox 10. 7.4.5. What to do? Renee

You don’t need CS2, only the serial number.

Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

How to fix this problem
"Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
I believe your problem will be something like that.

Conflictions w/ Adobe Indesign or the entire Creative Suite w/ OS 10.3.9??

I recently allowed an update from the web for 10.3.9 (I had 10.3 - Panther - installed before allowing download.) After allowing the download, my entire desktop was different and folders that were orig. there, were gone. Also, (THE BIGGEST PAIN), Adobe Indesign does not work at all (the Premium version - cannot determine from looking at install. disks what the verison is - not on the box and software not installed on HD right now {had to trash it})
When i open a new file or an old file and attempt to print, the document closes out and takes me back to my desktop screen. This new update that i allowed, does not jive well with Indesign.
When i attempted to reinstall my system software (the old bundle pack of 9 & 10) 9 installed successfully, and 10 would not be allowed to install, so i restarted, holding down the 'C' key and the installation process supposedly began. When i got to the part where you select the HD icon to install the software to, it said the older version (the OS X) could not be installed overtop of the newer 10.3.9 version. I can't find the location of the 10.3.9 version - on the HD - to delete it, so that i can reinstall the basic, old OS X that came bundled with OS 9. I thought that if i could reinstall OS 9 & 10, then everything would be fine.
How can i find the location of the 10.3.9? I don't 'see' it on the HD like i see the OS X and OS 9. I feel that i need to get rid of that first.
Also, has anyone heard of Adobe Indesign Creative Suite Premium having any conflictions with OS 10.3.9? (Since suddenly i cannot work with any new or older files done in the application)
WHat should i do???? Help???? Thanks!!!

If your is a Rev 1, with the solid three-drive shelf and ATA/IDE Controller that does NOT have the -402 suffix, it is a Mac sometimes called the "HeartBreaker" for its tendency to become flaky when its Hard Drive is upgraded to a drive faster than its original 4, 6, or 8 GB drive, or a Slave drive is attempted.
The overclocking is also a potential source of problems.
The programs you are using for diagnostics are inadequate, and the amount of time you are running them are woefully inadequate to detect the sorts of problems you are trying to find.
Some aftermarket CPU upgrade sellers suggest running fractal-calculation programs, which pound on the processor, at least overnight.
Users on the xlr8 site suggest a disk I/O program which moves large amounts of data around, then checks it for corruption from time to time as a way of determining whether your Mac has the Disk I/O problem.
The ultimate solution for the Rev 1 problem is the use of an aftermarket Disk Controller PCI card.
