Assistance in Activating CS5 on Mac

Hello,
I recently had a compter crash and would appreciate assistance with activating my purchased student version of Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
I am on Mac now and was previously on a PC.
I paid a few hundred dollars for this suite and would like to continue using it in my professional life.
Thank you in advance,
Jon

You cannot use a PC serial on a Mac. It's as simple as that. You will have to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch.

Hi,
see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

Difficulty in Activating CS5.5 Design Standard

I am getting really frustrated with the difficulty of activating my Creative Suite 5.5 and am wondering if anyone with sufficient technical knowledge can assist me.
I purchased and installed my CS5.5. around a week ago, and have been using it every day since. However, today, I received an error message stating that Adobe is unable to activate my software. If I fail to activate in within a certain number of days, the programme will cease to function. Following the error message, I tried to activate it through the internet, but I kept receiving the error message that the computer was unable to connect to the internet. There were no issues with my internet connection because I was able to surf the internet. And to be sure, I also did the "cmd -> ping activate.adobe.com" thing that Adobe website suggested. Still, there was no conclusive help.
So I spoke to the support team through the online chat support service, and the support officer asked me to call the technical support. When I called the hotline, I found out that technical support was closed for the day and the support is only available from Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm. However, the problem is that I have neither phone access, nor access to my personal computer (which I had installed the CS5.5 on) during their opening hours of Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm. The nature of my day job is just such that I just do not have convenient access during the day. So in desperation, I approached the live-chat support team the 2nd time to ask if there is any alternative to getting technical help other than via phone call during office hours, and unfortunately I was told by the officer that there are no other ways of reaching the technical support.
Basically I am stuck with my un-activated CS5.5. and I'm desperate because 1) I have some assignments to rush using the CS 2) It is too costly an item for me to just let it go like this! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disabling my firewall etc but all these efforts are to no avail.
I wonder if anyone has ever faced a similiar problem and how you managed to resolve the issue? Is there anyone who can please help me??

Hi Munish,

Dreamweaver CS5 for Mac - Files within the whole panel minimize

I'm working in Dreamweaver CS5 for Mac. Dreamweaver is active and open with the Panel open with files, CSS styles etc tabs open. I want to add an image to the my Image folder within the Files tab. Well when I click the Finder icon, it takes focus off Dreamweaver and then the Panel disappears. This makes it difficult to add pictures to my current site I'm working on. Then when I click the Dreamweaver screen again this Panel reappears.
Is there a setting to keep this whole Panel from minimizing or disappearing when Dreamweaver is not on focus?
Thank you.

Assuming you have defined a LOCAL SITE within DW, use INSERT > IMAGE (browse to the image on your local HD or DW Local Site folder)
If image is not already in the DW Local Site Folder, you will get a prompt to copy the image there. Hit YES and tell DW where to put the image within your local site.
Or maybe I'm missing something....

How / where can I donwload latest version of Camera Raw in order to open my D4s raw pictures ? I actually have Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS 10.9

Hello, it's all in the title :
How / where can I donwload the latest version of Camera Raw in order to open my D4s raw pictures ? I actually have Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS 10.9
What is the process too ?
Thank you.

Raw support is version specific. There is no way to simply force install a new version of ACR into an older Photoshop. You need to consider upgrading or use the DNG converter.

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC? I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop. I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

"Sliding Boxes" wipe transition in Premiere CS5 for Mac?

Hi, I have a fairly simple question. Can anyone verify that the wipe transition "sliding boxes" is available in Premiere CS5 for Mac? It wasn't in Premiere CS4 for Mac, it only featured in the Windows version....
Thanks!

Hi,
Just dit a check of the 'sliding boxes' in CS5.5, but didn't found it.
However do you know about the new plugins from FilmImpact.net?
These are great quality transitions for Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5.
They are freely available for Windows & Mac!
Cheers,
Jaap

Buying Photoshop CS5 for mac and being able to use it?

I'm a Photography student and I need to get Photoshop, though I can only just about afford around £300. I don't want to rent it through Creative Cloud because not only will it cost me far too much after the amount of time I need it for is up, but I will no longer have it when my course is finished, which seems a shame since I'll not be able to use my education there after. Anyway, I've been looking into buying CS5 for mac as a Student/Teacher version, which is in my price range and has all of the ideal tools I need and then some.
My main worry is, I don't know how it works. Will Adobe still accept the license number for an old version, or will they turn it down in the hope that I'll turn to take on their Creative Cloud malarkey? I've found a seemingly good deal on Amazon, though the occasional review describes that Adobe aren't accepting their serial numbers. Saying that, the majority of reviews say that it installs fine with little hassle, so I'm not too sure on how it would treat me. I'm in England, incase that would affect anything. Any clues anyone?

You can do almost anything in Photoshop Elements that you can do in Photoshop. There are many third party plugins, some free, that will add functionality both to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I use both Photoshop CS5.5 and Photoshop Elements 5, 9, and 11 on various computers. Expert Mode in Photoshop Elements is most like Photoshop.
Why don't you download the trial of Photoshop Elements 13 and decide for yourself:
