CS6 from Win to Mac

Hi,
I bought Adobe CS6 Design Standard (student&teacher) CZ for Win. I have DVD with installation.
Now, I leave my PC with Win and I use my new MACBOOK. Can I use my serial number from Win?
Can I get new CS6 installation files and new serial number for MAC?
Thank you, Ladislav Greiner, Prague, Czech Rep.

CS6 from PC to Mac

I just purchased an IMAC and would like to transfer my CS6 installed on my PC to my MAC computer. I was told you are allowed one transfer from PC to MAC. Is this correct? How do I go about transferring this over?

When going X-platform, if one does NOT have the Creative Cloud subscription, you are talking about a Cross-grade. It is the same price as the current Upgrade, and gets you the software for the other platform.
If I understand the CC licensing, then X-platform migration is not an issue - but check that out.
Good luck,

Moving iTunes library from WIN to MAC os X with Parallels desktop

Hi Everyone,
I just move from PC to MAC ! I would like to synchronize my itunes library (music and appli) with my iPhone / iPad in the new environment. I'm still using Win 7 under Parallels desktop under Mac os.
What is the best solution ?
Best regards and thank you for your attention and answer. Vincent

I don't think you can do this without using the Consolidate function (which requires you to have "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked).
However, if you were willing to accept a slight modification to your present set-up I think something could still be done. First you need to look at this article :
http://lifehacker.com/software/itunes/geek-to-live--how-to-move-an-itunes-librar y-from-a-pc-to-mac-and-back-242468.php
Assuming you've followed that route, you now have all your WAV files in iTunes. Here you can adapt the Genre tag to sort / create playlists from not only what iTunes puts in there, but your own additional Genre information also (for example I've combined all my Soul R&B and Disco genres by adding the SRBD suffix to each separate genre then using that suffix to pull them all up if I want). I also use the Comment tag to store release date (or in my case, Chart Entry date, but it's the same principle).
Bottom line, I don't think you can exactly replicate your current setup, but I think you can modify it.

The best way to move 2TB of data from Win to Mac

Hello,
what is the best way me to move 2TB (multiple files) data from windows to Mac?
I think that over the LAN, even using crossover cable connecting 1GB NICs would be painfully long. (Windows disk is quite fragmented)
If I put windows (ntfs partitioned) disc to one of Mac Pro bays, will Mac allows me to access the date on it?
if I take the disk of the windows PC and put it to [eSATA Hard Drive docking solution|http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FWU2ES2HDK>, will Mac be able to mount it and let me copy the files from the windows disk?
Any other ways of moving 2TB data from windows to Mac?

Being able to read, also means, being able to mount said drive volumes.
Windows 7 64-bit (Pro version if you have dual processor, which at this time really isn't needed that much) would work fine too.
There are programs, some or most have their own limitations, allow Windows to read and write to Mac HFS+ file system volumes; or the reverse and allow Mac OS to read/write NTFS. None are what I call perfect.
Becuase of limitations in older file systems and partitioning, Apple and Microsoft have implemented support for volumes larger than 2TB with GPT to replace aging Master Boot Record (Windows 7 even can't run off MBR with volumes larger than 1.9TB). Mac Pro uses GPT and can boot from very large volumes.
eSATA docking stations. Depends on the interface and controller card if any, whether using SATA PCIe for one thing (you would not ever want to use USB though maybe USB3 PCIe if you can find one), therefore, use internal drive bays. Also, more concern with the drive temperature in one, they can get very warm in my experience.
But maybe you do, maybe you don't, actually need to move data, maybe just have it read-only accessible.
Putting the drive in a FW800 case would probably make the most sense, both now and for further use for booting (backup clones are handy and allowed) or for backup with Mac TimeMachine.
But I would install Windows 7 on your Mac Pro. I use GPT for data drives in Windows and to read from in Mac OS environment.

Migrating from Win to Mac

Hello,
I´m hoping to get my new MBP 13" in a couple of days. Due to the fact that all my computers are running Windows Vista, XP and Server, I´m totally new in the world of mac.
All I want to ask is: Is there any possibility to move my whole iTunes 8.2-library (with all podcasts, iphone backups/programs) from Windows Vista to my new macbook pro ? Do I need an external USB-HDD (formatted with NTFS at the moment) to transfer the data from system to system ? The problem from my point of view: iTunes for Windows stores the program folder, the library itself and the data in different folders.
And, sorry for off-topic in this forum: Is it possible to move my pictures (JPG, from digital camera) from my Windows HomeServer to the mac (iPhoto 09) ?
Thanks a lot.

After reading some how-to´s, there a a few questions left.
All I want is to transfer my whole iTunes-data from Windows to Mac OS X. Some how-to´s tell me just to copy the iTunes for Windows-content to a FAT32/NTFS external USB-HDD besides the *.itl-file (=iTunes library) to the MAC OS folders. Another how-to tells me to export the library under Windows to a *.XML-file. Afterwards I would have to change the drive-letter like C: to the MAC-format - that´s all. No *.itl-file, just copying the content to the MAC-folder and importing the library-XML-file into iTunes for MAC.
Could someone help me out ? Which promises to be the better way ?
On Choosing the *.itl-way: Do I have to change pathes ? Does it contain pathes/drive letters ?
Thanks.

Just bought a mac.. want to change the ipod from win to mac

how can i do that and save the playlist, purchases, etc ??

You can transfer all of your song files from iPod to Mac using a third-party utility. Macs can read the Windows format, so it should work even if the iPod is formatted for Windows.
The free utility of choice for Mac seems to be Senuti.

Operating system: how to switch CS6, LR from Win to Mac?

i have bought both cs6 and Lightroom in window environment , recently I plan to switch to Mac system. Please advice how to proceed with the migration. Thank you

CS6 for Windows requires a platform swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
You'll be issued a new Mac serial number and you won't be able to use your Windows serial number any more.
The serial number for Lightroom is multi-platform. Just download the Mac installer onto your Mac and enter your existing serial number.

CS6 PS: Platform swap from Win to mac..??

Searching this "forum" points only to kb405819 -- which is obsolete as the fine folks here seem to have partially updated their website.
Where the heck to I get the "online form" to request a 'crossgrade'?? (Arggh.)
Specifically, this bit is now non working:
Under Get Support, click Orders & Returns.
From the Choose Issue Type menu, choose Product Exchange or Swap.
Click Proceed to Online Form.
In the Submit a Request page, follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Review Case & Submit.
You can expect a response within one to two business days.
Many thanks!!

Changing plat forms from Win to Mac, Can we move 6 x Win licensed versions of Acrobat Pro 9 to Mac?

We have 6 x Win Acrobat 9 Pro licenses - Any recommendations on how we could utilise these licensed versions on the new system and or is there an upgrade path?

There is no normal upgrade path, all usual purchases stay in the same platform. So you could upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows.
However, there is such a thing as a "crossgrade" to cross platforms. If you had Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows, and contacted Adobe they MIGHT sell a crossgrade. Equally they MIGHT sell you a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 11 Mac. They will not sell, so far as we hear, a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 9 Mac; licenses for unsupported versions are never sold.
You might also want to look at volume licensing.

Transferring Photoshop CS6 from PC to Mac

Hi, I bought Photoshop CS6 earlier in the year to put on my aging PC. However, since buying it, my PC has developed an problem which prevents me from connecting to the internet. I subsequently have yet to install or register my copy of Photoshop. I am about to purchase a replacement Mac and would like to install Photoshop on it. How do I go about procuring a Mac version? Thanks.

Photoshop files from win to mac?

hallo!
i'm waiting for my imac to come and in the meantime i'm making a cd cover in photoshop 5.0 on a win98SE.
my platform kind of s*°ks and i try hard to work with big files, but now in less then a week my iMac G5 will be here and i'll start to finish the job of the cd with it...(so glad about it).
does someone have an idea if could be a problem to transfer the .psd files from photoshop 5.0 win to a photoshop cs on mac?
I really hope is gonna work!
Thanx for any reply!
Pietro

you're saying that i can save the file with that option,maybe?
You actually don't have a choice. All Windows files have an extension so the OS knows what application it's related to. To make Windows look more like a Mac (OS 9 and earlier at the time), they designed Windows '95 and later to hide known extensions. So even if you don't see .psd at the end of your document name, it's there. Just be aware that because it's hidden, it may look on the CD to the Mac as if it has no extension. That's no problem though. Just add it after you've copied the file off of the CD onto your Mac by renaming the file.
how can i rasterize my font layers to maintain the design?
I can't remember if Photoshop 5 has that option. But it would be Layer>Rasterize>Type.
or maybe i better get the equivalent fonts for mac on internet?
If it's a free font anyway, then sure. Otherwise, rasterizing the font layers will work just fine.

Error code -51 (try to copy from win to mac)

Hi,
I have a problem with copying files FROM Windows to my Mac. I am connected through the VPN, I can see files on Windows server, I can copy TO server, I can create folders etc (on Win), but if I try to copy from Windows I always get "errorr code -51". I have MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Does anyone know what is going on? Thankx a lot, Lukas

Thanks for your response. I have just tried Carbon Copy Cloner, I thought I would try this on the documents folderbut I am still errors. CCC gave this.
CCC will proceed with the backup task, copying as many files as possible. Please note:
• The first error occurred while trying to access:
"/Volumes/System X/Users/john/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents/Autosave Vault/1.shingaanie.fcp/1.shingaanie_01-10-12_1534"
• CCC will make two attempts to back up damaged files
• CCC's log file contains more specific information about the affected files or folders.
• Physical errors may cause the backup task to take longer than normal.
• You can stop the backup task at any time. CCC will pick up where it left off the next time you run this task.

CS4 from win to mac?

I have CS4 Design Standard win version and now I have a new Macbook. What I must do next to change my win version to mac version?
Thank´s, Petri Nurminen

There is nothing you can do to exchange your Windows version for a Mac version. Platform swaps are only supported for the most current release version, which is CS6. Here is a link to a page that explains the policy.
