i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it?
No.
Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. There is a platform swap process (from Mac to PC etc) but only for CS6.
As a CS5 owner, your choices are to either pay to upgrade to CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud.

Where can i download adobe cs5 master collection?

Hi i was looking for old adobe cs5 master collection download not adobe creative suite cs5.5 i have searched every where but still cannot find it.please help me i need it.Warmest regards

well, seeing as there was no answer here, i called adobe today, appartently adobe decided with the release of 5.5, there are no more trial downloads for cs5.0, i really hate when they do things like this , i can't keep up with everyone else and always get to the products late to try, i'm frustrated and VERY upset by this style of adobe doing these things. I love to photoshop and learn, but they make it impossible, especially when 5.5 as they told me, was released a month ago.
It's just so wrong!!
so, no more downloads for that folks.!! only cs5.5, and i'm just not able to afford that now *cries*

Well, what is your problem?
If you are entering your serial number and being told you have used up your activations, you will need to contact Adobe to have your activation count reset

5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp. works fine on other pc. performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
- reset
- fully charged,
- cable works fine on two other computers
- in normal or disk mode makes no difference
- tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
- reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
- I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
- I've never used any Mac with this ipod
- I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
- uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
- Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

Notebook Specs for Adobe CS5 Master Collection

Hi guys, I am currently in process of buying a new notebook.
I will be running a Adobe CS5 Master Collection and few other programs.
Can you guys let me know what are best specs that this notebook must have?
I know Mac is best option but my company is not willing to get one, they are willing to settle for HP / Dell / etc…
I will need this notebook to handle multiple applications at a time (dreamweaver, illustrator, photoshop, etc etc…).
I dont want the basic specs, what more can i include to get this notebook running like a super machine?
eg. 8GB Ram, i7 processor?
What do you guys advise?
Thank You
Bradley

I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded. The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a Disc for each different program. If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out. When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was. What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
and Applications. It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted. I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load. There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them. Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck. Try calling...to find out how to load a program? By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means. I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer. I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software. I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself. Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums. I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

The more they spend the faster you will be able to work. A good processor like an i7, Windows 7 64 bit and at least 4 GB RAM will be a good start, 6 or 8 GB would be good.

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
"To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.

Adobe CS5 Master Collection System Requirements - A Mistake?

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection
I am a student who purchased Adobe CS5 Master Collection a few weeks back.
Before purchasing the product I looked at the system requirements at the link above.
I thought, "Cool! That's not too hectic, I have enough cash to build a computer with those system specs."
So I went and bought Adobe CS5 Master Collection, all amped up and ready to get a computer for it, excited to start learning the program.
Looking at different options around the specs, in Adobe's link above, I started asking questions, and soon I was advised by many users that those specs WOULDN'T do it for Adobe CS5 Master Collection.
Looking at my budget, comparing it to the suggested builds in this Forum, I am now depressed, because the cheapest Budget Build is way out of range of my budget.
I feel let down, because I purchased a program with the trust that Adobe provided those system requirements SO THAT the program can run nicely on those specs.
So my question:
WHY are the system requirements, at the link above, 2GB of RAM (4 or more reccommended) and Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom II, if there are so many warnings on this and other forums that those specs will not be enough? (The Budget Build in this Forum suggests a quad core and 8GB of RAM)
Does this mean that had I bought a computer going on the specs provided in Adobe's link above, say a Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM, that I then would NOT have been able to get started nicely, learning and working with Adobe CS5 Master Collection?

Thanks for the new article "System requirements for CS5" at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/810750?tstart=0 !
I really appreciate it very much. I found it very informative and it helped me understand the topic so much better.
I hope that it will be included in the overview tab for other newbies like me.
Other articles in this Forum that I found very helpful:
"Now that CS5 has arrived, what does it mean for your system setup?" at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633773 .
This article helped me understand how things have changed since CS5's release and what it means for my system setup.
"A PC buying guide for NLE" at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433549 .
EXCELLENT article with helpful links. Thanks.

Now that I have read several articles and discussions in this Forum, my understanding is that the reason why they may "not all seem consistent with each other" is because of the fact that the nature of each one's editing projects vary from one another which have a major impact on the hardware required to run projects effectively. So what works for one does not work for another.
Yes, at this stage I do indeed find it VERY confusing as a newbie looking to put together a new PC, within my budget.
However, I understand now that it would be hard for anyone to come up with a list of systems that will guarantee specific performance within specific budgets, because there are too many variables at play.
The reality is that there are newbies who are just starting out for the first time, having no clue what all Adobe is about and what they can and are going to do with the program.
I think that newbies like me who have to settle for a very low budget PC at first, just to get started, have to content with the AWARENESS that their system will allow only so much performance and nothing more.
It would be nice if there were benchmark results of low budget PC's for beginners working with DV and HD, to help them at least not buy utterly useless systems, but systems that, though not super fast, will perform tasks specified in such a benchmark, with an added note that while using such a low budget PC (for the purpose of at least getting started with some projects as newbies/students), they could read about upgrades and start saving their coins for upgrades.
Thank you for your answer in post 8:
Harm Millaard wrote:
With a sufficiently capable CPU, no problem, provided you have the right disk I/O system and memory as well, yes.
Based on the Adobe minimum requirements, no way. Even a single application like PR with AVCHD codec material will effectively come to a halt. Multi-tasking DW and PS is doable on such a system.
My newbie question:
With reference to post 7 and 8 above, if you can suggest a CPU, memory and disk I/O system for my present specific need, as described in 7 above, i.e. multi-tasking Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Flash, please do. I will view your suggestion(s) in this case as guide lines.

Error when attempting to update Adobe CS5 Master Collection via Adobe Application Manager

I have a copy of Adobe CS5 Master Collection running on OS X Yosemite.
For the last few weeks, anytime that I'm prompted to update CS5, I allow it but it fails. See the first screenshot below for details. The second screenshot is the error log file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bumping this to hopefully get some exposure and replies. Still getting this error, and not able to update. Any ideas?

Hi all, i just bought the new macbook pro and just want to know if i can install Vista or Xp on it?

Hi all, i just bought the new macbook pro and just want to know if i can install Vista or Xp on it?

Yes.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows. You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I had installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection on my PC about a year ago, the PC is now dead and i purchased a mac. i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate the it? and if yes how and where do i go? wo
