CS3 windows version how can I run it on an iMAC

I want to upgrade my PC and I am thinking of getting an iMAC with 24" monitor but no one can tell me if I will be able to use my windows version of CS3. I have Lightroom and that seems to run in both platforms.

(This question is not about the Photoshop SDK, which is a tool for
programmers. I will answer anyway, but please post future questions in
a more relevant forum, thanks! ...)
You certainly can't install Windows software directly on a Mac. If you
have Lightroom which runs on either platform its because you have
installers for both Mac and Windows software, which is not what you
get for all programs on the CS3 disks. With rare exceptions you would
need to buy ALL your software again, unless the vendor offers both
versions on one disk, or a way of upgrading between PC and Mac.
However, if the Mac is running Leopard, you can buy and install
Windows XP (full retail version, using a disk which came with a PC is
NOT allowed) and then boot up Windows in place of Mac OS X. Then you
can run CS3 for Windows, and any other of the Windows software you
don't want to buy.
I wouldn't personally recommend buying Vista instead.

    Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

  • How can I run a java-application on starting of Windows 2000

    How can I run a java-application without any user on starting of Windows 2000?
    For example, if the computer is restarted and nobody enter into it yet, my java-application should run anyway.
    How can I do that?

    Hi, you have to put it in a Windows service.
    To do this you have a program, Srvany.exe that allow to insert a .exe or .bat program in a Windows service.
    For example, i develop a program, TomcatGuardian and i put it in a service because i need to run it in a server without Administrator logged in.

  • How can I run 2 Dreamweaver windows at the same time?

    How can I run 2 Dreamweaver windows at the same time on my
    PC?
    basically I have 2 monitors and I want to edit CSS on one
    monitor and have the html page open on the other so I can quickly
    look from one to another with in a split second instead of taking
    that extra time to switch back and forth using the tabs at the top,
    I know I should probably invest into a mac so i can work out side
    of the Dreamweaver application window and I will in the future but
    is there any way i can do this on my windows XP pro PC?
    Thank you
    Maurice

    Open the CSS in DW, and use F10 to open the Code Inspector.
    Place the
    latter as needed.

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

    I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
    One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
    If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
    If your problem is something else please give more details.

  • How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

    Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
    Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
    I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
    I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
    In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like “o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
    How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kishore.

    Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
    and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
    For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
    Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

  • How can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..

    *{color:#0000ff}how can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..is it possible in any way?????????{color}*

    *{color:#0000ff}how can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..is it possible in any way?????????{color}*Do you mean converting it from a jar file to an EXE file or do you mean that you would like to run the application by just double clicking it?
    If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
    The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
    Created-By: Somebody
    Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
    Class-Path:
    X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
    jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
    If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
    Hope it helps,

  • How can i run a jar file?

    hi there
    how can i run a far file on my pc. i have installed JRE 1.3.1, and set the classpath to C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\bin for the user variables, what else do i need to do to run it?

    Hi everyone.. i had a funny problem. Microsoft removed from registry and system the vm and i got the problem of java.dll and the registry problem when compiling.
    How did i resolve that?
    too easy:
    1. go to the registry and search the key "JavaSoft"
    2. add a Key with the name "Java Runtime Environment"
    3. select the new key and add a alfa-numeric Value with the name "CurrentVersion"
    4. set the value c:\jdk1.4 //the place of your jdk-version
    5. insert a new Key with the name "1.4"
    6. go to the new key and add an alfanumeric value with the name "JavaHome" and put the value c:\jdk1.4\jre\lib
    do this where you find the key Javasoft (in my registry was twice)
    i did it and got no problems
