Using old versions of InDesign

I've been asked to work on some documents in InDesign 2 because that's what the client has. Are there any problems that might occur if I install InDesign 2 on my 2009 iMac running OSX 10.6.7, which also has ID CS4 and CS5 installed? The client has ID 2, not CS2, as far as I can tell.

Personally? I wouldn't risk it. Installing something that old wouldn't be supported and it could very well damage the exisiting installation.
Your call, though.

Using old version of InDesign for upgrade

Hi. I have an old, never-opened retail copy of InDesign 2.0 that I bought with a new Mac some years ago. The white tape seal on the top of the jewel case is still unbroken. I'm semi-retired and don't do any layout or graphics work, but I have one project that was created for me years ago using Indesign that I would like to be able to update myself. I would like to be able to upgrade to a later version of InDesign, but not to the current one--probably to version 3 or 4. One reason is I think the file I will be using is in 3; the other reason is I am still running OS 10.6.8 on my Mac. Can I install this software now on my Mac? Will its serial number work to authorize an upgrade version on installation? What can I do? Many thanks

Thank you, Bob. Just finished a verrryyy lengthy chat with a nice Adobe rep, who gave me some slightly different info, and, sadly, about the same conclusion.
I was told I can't install the ID 2.0 on anything past a G5.
I might qualify for an upgrade to CS4 (ID 6.0) but I'd need help from Adobe for the authorization. However, that supposedly runs on OS 10.4.11–10.5.4 only.
He said I can't use CS 6 because it requires OS 10.7 and up. So I could take a chance on CS 4 and if that didn't work, give up and swear off Adobe. (I was raised on Quark) Or look for a later full version of Indesign -- if that was ever even offered.
As far as finding old software, I'm sitting with an unopened retail copy that's 7 years old. If it were still usefiul, I believe it would be legal to re-sell.
I've had success buying authentic old stock software more than once. I ask for pictures of holograms, etc. (I'm still using Appleworks and until I couldn't run system 9, i wouldn't give up Claris Emailer).
Thanks very much for the advice!

I have an old version of InDesign CS5, have not used in a while..about a year. It will not load nor allow me to uninstall and reinstall, please help. I have original discs and serial number. How can I fix this?

Firefox always says using old version even after running the upgrade programme. Even after uninstalling & reinstalling? Why?

Every time I open Firefox the message "using old version" appears I have tried uninstalling the program and then reinstalling but no change, When I use Firefox as my browser a message appears to say you are using an old version of Firefox. This is just fustrating what can I do to correct?

Using old version iMovie and import from new camcorder

I got a new camcorder which won't let me import to the old version 4.0.1 Does anyone have any idea how to move the clips to the old version from the 7.1.4 version which is sooo infuriating. The old one was soooo simple to use as I don't need 90% of the NEWER features. I also miss being able to turn one frame into a photo.

As an iLife '08 owner you are also entitled to a free download of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want it.
Does anyone have any idea how to move the clips to the old version from the 7.1.4 version which is sooo infuriating.
You can open the named_Event folder containing the iMovie '08 imported clips and "drag 'n drop" them to an open previous version of iMovie or you can open the previous version of iMovie, select the "Import" option, navigate to the named_Event folder, select the file(s) you want, and import it/them to the older application.
I also miss being able to turn one frame into a photo.
JPEG images are automatically created in the named_Project folder any time a single frame is selected/added to an iMovie '08 project. They can also be created by QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) directly from a source video clip.

Unable to use trial version of inDesign

I just signed up to use the trial version of inDesign, with a new adobe id. It tells me i'm maxed out on the subscription and to use another id. This is a new id, i sign in and it asks for a serial number which i don't have. It tells me i'm on 2 other computers but it's a new id so i'm not sure why it thinks that way.
I'm so frustrated, i've chatted 2x with customer service, one of the told me he had no clue and come back later. The other one said, just purchase the sub. This really defeats the purpose of a trial, since i've never used inDesign and wanted to see if it would be easy to use. I'm also now scared to pay a 1 month fee to try and spend 3 days trying to log in. I've looked in the forums for help, used downloaded cleaner and uninstalled. I was excited about playing with the CS on the cloud, but know i'm just frustrated. Wouldn't a 30 day comp sub solve the problem, which if it works i would commit for the year, i suggested it to the CS chat, and no answer.....
HELP?

The 30 day trial of InDesign CS6 should only correspond to InDesign seeing that you've already had it installed on your computer and have used it for 30 days already, not the Adobe ID you're installing it with. Is it possible that you've already tried it a year ago when it was originally released?

Changes made using "old" version of iTunes not showing up

A colleague uploaded new thumbnails and created new courses in an old version of iTunes. When I go on our page – using the current version of iTunes - none of the changes are reflected. When I log in as the administrator, I now see it in the “old” version (I used to see the current version/configuration) and all the changes are there. We made these edits a few weeks ago. Any ideas how to fix this?

Not on the computer.

Why still use old versions of Oracle??

Hi All,
I was just wondering what are some reasons why organizations continue to use older versions of Oracle like 7 and 8i when we are now at version 11g?
I would love to hear what everyone has to say.
Thanks,
JrOraDBA

Mogens Norgaard (Oracle Insights) says that most users only need version
7.3 and that advances since then are for the UPS's and eBays of this world.
Disagree. Totally.
Oracle OPS cannot be compared to Oracle RAC. 7.3's partition views cannot be compared to
proper partitioning. And then what about features such as FGAC, rman, ASM, Apex, materialised
views - just to mention a few?I readily accept that Oracle is a good deal more sophisticated now than it was in
version 7. I think that Norgaard - a man with no axe to grind with Oracle and who
is a highly respected Oracle database practitioner - is talking about an "average Joe Sixpack
run-of-the-mill OLTP system".
Why do you think he made this point -
"Most customers really only need Oracle version 7.3 with respect to features"? (p 92 of the book).
All of these we use. In production. For 24x7 corporate mission critical systems. It would be
laughable to suggest that these could run on Oracle 7 and provide as a robust, flexible,
performant and scalable solution as using 10g or 11g.I accept this also - it's just that Norgaard is saying that "most" customers don't need
Oracle after 7.3.
I would tend to agree - in particular, the (totally free) functionality available
from, say, PostgreSQL and/or Firebird gives you more than this.
Open Source databases? Even more laughable. There is no way that these can compare
to Oracle. Not when doing intensive processing. Not when needing scalability, availability
and redundancy.Look [url http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/application-server-benchmark-proves-postgresql-is-the-best-enterprise-database-server-new-specjappserver2004-cost-metric-introduced-too/]here and in particular at the post of Clemens Eisserer
Open source databases have come on in leaps and bounds in recent
years and represent a value for money solution in many cases where
an Oracle licence would be prohibitive.
I have a SE database on a small 2 CPU server that at this very moment is dealing
with up to 12,000 rows inserted every second into a single table.. after which that table
(an hour later containing around 40 million rows) is processed. You want me to believe
that an Open Source database can do the same? Then you will need to prove that cause
I don't think for a single moment that Open Source databases like mySQL, PostgreSQL
and Firebird are anywhere as capable and able as Oracle.Also, take a look at VoltDB - an Open Source high-performance database from
Michael Stonebraker - SQL and ACID in a novel new design.
There are "Lies, damned lies, statistics" and then* there are database benchmarks.
How big are your rows? I'm running Hammerora at the moment against an Oracle 10
XE instance and I'm getting Y no. of rows (I don't think that I'm allowed release any benchmarking
that I do "into the wild") inserted/second - how meaningful is that? What is the disk setup?
[url http://www.ib-aid.com/articles/item104]See here you have a very thorough
benchmark with inserts of 24K rows/sec into a Firebird database.
Table 3: Loading operations Description Value Time to load
~70 hours
Total records inserted
6.2 billions
Average insertion speed
24500 records/second
Average record size
146 bytes (min 13 bytes, max – 600 bytes)
Transactions
646489I don't want to get into a religious war here ;) - particularly since this forum is hosted by
Oracle - I was just trying to explain to the OP why certain customers aren't interested in
the latest "bells and whistles" version of Oracle - 1 reason is that powerful software
is available for free elsewhere - although in terms of features, Oracle does have
the honour of the "kitchen-sink" implementation with a rich feature-set.

Can I use old version adobe acrobat 7.0 Professional for my macbook pro. I just bought this software and is non returnable.

I just bought this software from RAFT teacher resources and it's non returnable. I don't know that it doesn't support macbook pro. Is there anyway can you help me if you can. I don't want to waste it. Thanks. Best regards, Vivian.

There is absolutely nothing you can do with this software if your Mac OS version is newer than 10.6; Macs less than about 5 years old cannot run older versions of Mac OS . It is no more use to you than a brick. It is an extraordinary thing to sell. Acrobat is now at version 11. Version 7 is more than 10 years old. I had a look but I don't see this on the RAFT store.

Just on website via Firefox - window opens & tells me I'm using old version of Firefox & should dwnlod nu one. Legitimate or not? ono

I was just on a genealogy website accessed via Firefox when a pop up window appeared and informed me that I was using an out dated version of Firefox and that I should click here to download a new one.
Is this a genuine request or a scam of some sort?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Note that the current Firefox release is Firefox 36.0.4, see Help > About
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 36.0.4 release in all languages and for all operating systems here:

Can I still use old versions of itunes producer

Hi.
I recently purchased a mac mini (circa 2007) for the sole purpose of uploading epub files I already have to the iBook store. I'm using os 10.6.8 with an intel processor and ram and processor speed in excess of what Apple lists as minimum requirements. However when I download itunes producer 2.9 I get an error message that my machine won't support the program.
I've found a website where I can download older versions of itunes producer -- can I use, for example, vers. 2.2 of producer to still upload content?
I'm a long-time windows guy and brand new to the world of mac.
Thanks

Like Windoze, older equipment is not able to deal with updates intended for "newer" equipment.
The answer is, if you can find older software it may be OK.
I suggest you look at the top of this page > Apple Support Compunities, and scroll down to find the Mac Mini discussion group.
How do you create your eBooks??

Using old version CS3. Can't "see" both Local and Remote files. Only Local.

Used to see both Local and Remote files. Worked in Local and then "Put" to the Remote when ready. Only see Local now. Work in Local is saved automatically to the server. Need to go back to the work in Local and Put to Remote. What happened? How do we fix it? Thanks!

Could you post a screen shot of what you're seeing when you go to...
Site > Manage Sites > Click the site you're working on > Edit
There should be two tabs in the upper left corner of the dialogue box that comes up, Basic and Advanced. Basic walks you through set-up with a bunch of questions and Advanced allows you to just enter the info into the correct fields. If the Advanced tab is open, it should be under the Remote heading where you set your FTP info.

Trying to import address books and templates from old Netscape Communicator 4.8 to Thunderbird. What old version of Thunderbird to use ( new version wont do

Been using Communicator 4.8 for years. Working fine had no reason to change. But now security settings wont work with yahoo pop server.
Want to import my address books and templates to thunderbird.
New version of Thunderbird 31.0 doesn't have import for communicator that old. Earlier versions do.
Figured I'd use old version of thunderbird to import and then update thunderbird to 31.00
Tried thunderbird 3.0 which has importer for 4.73 but getting error message that it is having trouble. Anyone know last version of thunderbird that had netscape 4.8 importer ? Thought maybe a later version would be able to import and then update to newest thunderbird.
Thanks

1 - there is no importing involved - you NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
2 - you have to run programs after you download them - go to your applications folder ==> utilities and launch the library upgrader -- Then launch iPhoto to complete the upgrade
