Can I run all of my PC Adobe software on a Mac?  And will they work?

I have Adobe Creative Suite CS3, After Effects, and Premiere Pro CS3 for PC and I am considering purchasing a Mac and running them through Parallels.
I am hesitant to spend this much money without some clarification.
Several sites selling this program use the words "If you occasionally want to run some of your windows programs..."
I'm concerned that my Windows programs won't have the speed and functionality I need compared to if they were just Mac versions running on a Mac.
I am proficient on both platforms, I just can't afford to re-purchase perfectly operational programs.

I'm concerned that my Windows programs won't have the speed and functionality I need compared
They won't when you run them through a virtualization environment such as Parallels.
Either keep your PC or install run Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp if you want the speed you need.

    how can i convert 2k resolution dpx files of a movie to DCP and will they be able to open the harddisk and view the files?

    AFAIK, this is beyond the capabilities of FCPX/Compressor. This company makes a plug-in, which I have to say I have no experience with. Here is a thread that may give you some other ideas. Good luck.

  • Can i run all the SQL And PL/SQL in Oracle SQL Developer?

    hi all
    I have heard that Oracle Sql Developer is a free editor for Oracle DB from Oracle.
    Is it possible to run all the the procedres and functions in that editor
    is there any limitation for that ,can i run all the things that we can run on the SQL Plus
    if anybody knows please let me know
    thanks & regards

    Interesting way of putting it.
    When it comes to SQL and PL/SQL, SQLPlus and SQL Developer do not really 'run' very much.
    Most of the time, these things are just shells that pass the SQL and PL/SQL requests to the appropriate engine (database) which will run the command.
    The challenges are:
    - will the shell interpret the request as something to pass to an engine?
    - will the shell display the response from the engine appropriately?
    For answers to those questions, TongucY provided approriate links.

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Downloading/installing a new app
    - Restorng from bavkup
    - Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected to sync! Please help)

    Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

    It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall  Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

  • Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

    Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

    According to website I have Flash Player installed but I cannot run a program (BBC iPlayer DeskTop) that requires 64 Bit Flash player Any ideas?
    Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin?  If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers).  Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

  • I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

    How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

    You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  It will clone your HD to the external.  The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

  • Can I still download Adobe 9 Pro Extended and will it work with Windows 8 64 bit?

    Can I still download Adobe 9 Pro Extended and will it work with Windows 8 64 bit?

    It is not clear what application you mean when you say Adobe 9 Pro Extended, so it ois not certain if it is available for you to download.  If you can diownload it, it will only be valid for a 30 day trial unless you already own it and have a serial number to activate the trial with.
    You can search the following site and see if you can find the trial version to download... this site is the only likely place you might find the software available for download.
    If you find it there, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
