Upgrading both Mac and Photoshop / Lightroom
I've bought one of the new iMacs and the updates to Photoshop and Lightroom. Photoshop on my old Mac (a G4 running Tiger) is currently CS2 and Lightroom is 1.4.1
Seems like I have two options for doing the upgrades.
1. Upgrade Photoshop and Lightroom on my old Mac, deauthorize Photoshop, transfer the apps to the new iMac and reauthorize Photoshop.
2. Deauthorize Photoshop, transfer the apps to the new iMac, Reauthorize Photoshop and then run the upgrades.
Is one of these preferable? In either event I know I can only run the S/W on one machine at a time.
Thanks
Nick
You can just install your new Upgrades directly onto your new Mac.
The previous version doesn't have to be present; you just enter its Serial Number when asked.

Re: I have purchased from Adobe (downloaded) the Photoshop 10 upgraded to 12 and The Lightroom 4

If you installed them by download then you will need to do the same when your machine is ready. If you upgraded to version 12 then as a minimum you will need to have the serial number from version 10 in order to confirm your eligibility for the upgrade activation. You do not need to have version 10 installed.
You can check your account online to see if there are links to download the installation files. If you cannot find them in your account, then here are links to find the trial versions elsewhere - you can activate them to full use using your serial numbers...

Where can I find website templates that are editable by both Mac and PC
I need advice as to where I can get a website template(s) that can be edited with BOTH Mac and PC. (I am on a Mac, the other person working on this same project is using a PC.) I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for Print, but am a novice at websites. Where can I go to, to get a website template that both of us can edit simultaneously?

If you decide to use Dreamweaver, each of you will need a licensed copy for your particular operating system. HTML & CSS coding skills are essential.
Another option is to use WordPress. Neither of you will need software to edit the site because WP is installed directly on your remote server. All you need is an internet connection and a browser to log-in to your site.

Many commercial and free Themes (templates) are available for WordPress.

I have recently upgraded my mac and ipad to IOS7 and find that Safari will not load onto my iPad. It just shuts down the app. Any ideas? I have been onto Mac who took me through a very long iPad robot, but the problem is still the same! Help appreciated
Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS. -
I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
ThanksYou are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC. -
Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !
Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year. -
External hard drive use with both Mac and Windows
I know that you can't use an iPod (through iTunes) with both Mac and Windows, but can you still use it as an external hard drive with both operating systems?
Yes, if the iPod is in Windows format. Mac OS X can read and write Windows formatted iPods, but Windows can't access Mac formatted disks unless special software is installed.

After i install window 8.1, i can't see window icon in my start up disk, i see only mac icon 10.10, but i can see both mac and win icon in my window boot camp control. i want to see window icon in my mac Yosemite 10.10.2,system preference, start up disk.
Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.
We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back -
I upgraded to Premiere and Photoshop Elements 12 on 23rd September
I upgraded to Premiere and Photoshop Elements 12 on 23rd September from Premiere elements 4.
Issue 1
Two days later Elements 13 comes out so I am immediately out of date and would need to pay the same amount again if I want to upgrade to 13. That's a bit unkind isn't it?
A warning to wait a couple of days to upgrade would have been a bit nicer customer care. No?
Issue 2
A further problem that's blocking me though - I upgraded by download and now can't install it to my home computer because all the links are to download 13 - where can I get a download of 12 now??
Andrew in the UK.Hi Barbara,
Thanks very much for that link I will use it. An upgrade would be very welcome and would cheer me up a lot.
Meanwhile, here is someone in the same position who seems to think there's a 30 free upgrade window. I will check that out.

Hi keltystu,
You are doing 2 things wrong:
1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
Thanks

Thanks so much. I downloaded Acrobat XI. It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi). Hope this is not a problem.

I support both macs and pcs with version 26 of firefox on all machines. I need to disable private window and private browsing, including the keyboard shortcuts.
Thank you for the info.
I did run across in my searching another way to disable by creating a txt file (userChrome.ccs) with this code, minus the first sentence: (Open the file on any text editor. Copy and paste the following lines after @namespace
/* Hide Private Browsing in App menu and Tools menu */
#appmenu_privateBrowsing, #privateBrowsingItem {display:none!important;}
/* Hide Sanitize item in App menu and Tools menu */
#appmenu_sanitizeHistory, #sanitizeSeparator, #sanitizeItem {display:none!important;}
I need to try it on my mac before I implement it on other macs and the pcs. The directory placement area was a little vag so I tried it here.
I placed the file in: HD/Users/{me}/Library/Application Support/Firefox/chrome
restarted firefox. Did not work.
Does any one know if the above into is correct and if I placed it in the correct area on the mac?
This is the info I got to place the same file on the pc:
C:\\Users\\[User]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\[random string].default\\chrome\\
Does anyone know if this is correct? I can not test this until after hours on the pc.
Thank you again! I really tried to do the research before I posted the question.
