Changing from PC to Mac--which PS Elements should I get?

I have been using PSE 7 on my pc, and it has done everything I need it to do, EXCEPT for including the llight blue guidelines that allow me to easily line up images. I have Wiindows 7 installed on my new iMac, and I suppose I could move PSE 7 from my pc to the mac, and work in Windows. But I think it's time for me to get the Mac version of PSE.
As I said, the only feature I need beyond what PSE 7 has is blue guidelines. If I get PSE 8 for the Mac, do you think this is all i need? Or is there another reason to get a more recent release?
Thank you.

You can still purchase PSE8 and other versions online from sites like Amazon however Adobe no longer provides support for those versions. In any case the price difference is small compared with PSE10; so I would recommend buying the latest version. If you then experience any difficulties with installation or operation you will get the benefit of support.
You can also download a scaled down version from the Mac App Store or iTunes Store for PSE9. However this is the Editor only and lacks the Organizer. Some Mac users find it convenient but I would not recommend it personally. The saving is only $10 compared with a purchase directly from Adobe which often comes with a $20 mail in rebate or discount from a retailer; so effectively you could be paying more. Most books and tutorials involve steps going to and from the Organizer to the Edit modes and also if you ever wish to upgrade in future Adobe will simply send you back to the app store. You will need both platforms initially.
You can download PSE10 from the following link and try it out for 30 days, free of charge. If you like it and decide to keep it, simply purchase a boxed version of PSE10 from your favorite retailer and enter the product code from the DVD box into the trial. No further installation from disk is required.

I have changed from pc to mac and photoshop elements 2.0 disk does not install on mac

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

HT202174 In need to change from appleshare to mac os journaled disk format on my time capsule. How to proceed?

In need to change from appleshare to mac os journaled disk format on my time capsule. How to proceed?

No Time Capsule disk can be formatted other than the automatic system in the TC itself.. You simply select erase and it will reformat the drive.
If you are referring to a USB drive.. plugged into a Time Capsule.. you must plug it into your Mac and use Disk Utility.
However you do need to understand.. appleshare is not a disk format.. it is a partition scheme.. so when you pick the disk you need to change its partition to GUID.. this is nothing to do with Mac OS journaled format.. the two are distinctly different. Also Appleshare works fine for most people.. there really is no need to change.
Anyway here is how to do it.
I have sd card I can use as example. Click on the Partition Layout.. so you can choose something else.. notice it is presently set to Master Boot Record.. but is formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled.
When you change the partition layout Options at the bottom will become active and you can change the setting. Click Options.
Choose whichever. GUID is the current system for boot drives.
None of this is relevant to the internal disk of the Time Capsule.

Photoshop CS4 Extended- change from PC to Mac and a lost licence key.

Hi,
I have been trying to get into adobe chat to ask these two questions, however it always comes up with an 'chat is unavailable' and I'm unsure of where else to turn- as there is no email contact and no number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended (Student edition) a few years ago and got a disk which i have been using on all my pc computers (deactivating old computers and re-activting new ones), However i have now changed to Mac- and the disk will not load on the mac as it is set for windows. I have then tried to download, CS4 online- but my licence key comes up with a red cross and it will not be accepted. I have looked at other chats and looked at different sites to download the cs4 (and apparently the extended cs4) however i can never find the right download or its just a read me pdf document.
I just want my CS4 photoshop on my new mac computer and unsure how to get it.
Secondly i lost a licence key when one of my family computers died- and have only had one licence key since then. I'm just wondering is there a way to get this back?rent
Is there a different way to contact adobe? Chat just doesn't seem to work for me- and i would love to get these two questions cleared up.
Thanks,
Rachael

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

Change from PC to MAC Licence?

Hi there,
My PC has just died and I have Creative Suite 4 (CS4) for PC loaded on it, which I am very happy with. I really am not in a position to purchase a MAC version of this software, so would like to either change over to a MAC licence, or simply upgrade to a later version, on MAC platform (I have been given an old Mac from family member). Is this possible - I don't mind incurring a couple of hundred £'s to upgrade (I don't need the latest version) - but can't afford to buy new outright. I also want to own a copy on DVD, so hence why I am not interested in the Cloud! Any advice as to whether this is possible? Thanks.

No, no and no.
a) You are long past any upgrade eligibility.
b) Platform swaps only apply to the latest version.
c) Adobe stopped selling DVDs a long time ago.

Changed from PC to MAC - now cant control settings...

Hi,
I have changed from a PC to a MAC but do not know how i now control my Home Hub. I have it set to go to sleep etc at certain times but i dont know what i need to do to be able to change them now that i have a nes computer. The Broadband is working fine.
Thanks
Phil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you can control the hub via it's web interface.just type either 192.168.1.254 or bthomehub.home & then press enter. Btw, just because you change your p.c. or operating system, doesn't mean you need to change the hub settings
free your computer, use opensource
i'm a linux user & very happy about it

Lost CS4 cd, need to change from PC to MAC

Hello, i've lost my cd for Photoshop CS4. I have to change from a PC to MAC! where can i download the program?

Your CD/license was only good for installation on a PC. CS4 is too old to cross-grade to a Mac version. Cross-grades are only allowed for the most current release (CS6). You could also subscribe the the Creative Cloud where both platforms are provided for with the same subscritpion.

I have just bought a mac and also have windows installed but how do i change from windows into mac?

I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX. Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.

Business area changes from one to another which results error in MIRO

Hi Experts,
I am creating an incoming invoice in tcode MIRO and it upon saving, the business area changes from one to another and this results to an error which displays, "Balancing field 'Profit Center' in line item 001 not filled."
What is weird is that this error will be avoided if I enter the the business area in the invoice header details. But the line item will be posted to the second business area that I entered which is incorrect because this should be posted in the first business area.
I already checked the configurations and have no idea what to do next.
I hope you could help me solve this issue because this is crucial to our client.
Thanks so much in advance and for your support,
Larissa

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks! I found out that there is a profit center derivation exit that makes the posting incorrect.
Thanks again.

Changed from PC to mac and can't open some file

Mac store transferred my files from PC to mac when purchased iMac. frequently some of those files will not open and I receive this reason:
Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This also sometimes happens when I try to open a jpg. and those sometimes are files I have added myself from photos I added.
Is there any way I can recover these? Or should I just forget it and trash them?

Note, you don't need Adobe Reader to view PDFs in OS X. There is a built-in application called "Preview" which does an excellent job with PDFs. It is faster and it is more lightweight.
When you install Reader, it takes over PDF rendering in your web browsers and it sets itself to the default PDF reader.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I recommend you first try opening the PDFs with Preview, and see if you can open the files. If so, then it's probably a Reader issue. If not, the files are probably corrupt. You may wish to see if you can try transferring them again, if you still have access to them.
As far as JPEGs, Preview can also view them, so give it a try.
If Preview works, then definitely consider uninstalling Adobe Reader. It's a heavyweight, bloated, slow piece of crap.

Want to change from PC to MAC

Yes there is! :D

Transferring CS4 from an old Mac to a new one, I get a notice saying "licensing for this product has stopped working" Error 150:30. Don't know what to do? Thanks.

I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.

"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download.

HT1386 When I try to sync changes from my playlist to my iphone the sync process gets to step 7, applying changes and then freezes up, the changes are not being put on my iphone. What do I do to correct this issue?

When I try to sync changes from my playlist on the computer to my iphone the sync process gets as far as step 7, applying changes, then freezes up and the changes are not getting to my iphnoe. How do I fix this issue?

Are all these songs associated with the same Apple ID or were some purchased on another account?
Are they tagged properly? In the library does it break an album out into several different albums with a few tracks each?
Check your sync settings for each device. Do you accidentally have only certain songs/albums syncing?
