CS6 on MAC cannot be activated with our educational key

One of the teachers is determined to work on a MAC. So the school decided to put one MAC device in the classroom where this teacher can work on. Students all work on PC's. We have an educational license for CS6 master collection. But now we cannot get the software activated on the MAC device. On the Pc's there is no problem whatsoever. Is the activation platform dependant? And how to get around this?

yes, the activation code (and your license) is platform specific.
ie, you have a windows license and not a mac license.
you can use both mac and pc if you purchase two licenses, or if you have a cc subscription.

How can I down a Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for mac on a computer with windows7 system?

How can I down a Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for mac on a computer with windows7 system?
Explanations with pics will be better.
Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.

This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

HELLO.
The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
"This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.
Please: tell me what I have to do.
John, The Netherlands.

HELLO AGAIN.
The problem with the popup-message "This Mac cannot ..." still exists.
The anoying thing is that I cannot do anything with Mail ... the popup-message appears again and again.
I've read all the advises and followed them ...
Systempreferences / InternetAccounts: I cannot remove my iCloud-account (** [MESSAGE] **)
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot remove the "V" off Mail
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot log out (** [MESSAGE] **).
My username (ending at @mac.com) is correct.
My password (XXXXX) is correct.
I can access iCloud.com (Mail, Addresses, ...).
I can access this support-pages.
My iPhone recieves and sends messages.
The [** MESSAGE **] is (translated from Dutch): 'Your iCloud-account cannot be removed. Mail cannot remove <account>@icloud.com. Start Mail again en logout again at iCloud."
Question. Makes it any difference that I use accountnames ending on "mac.com", "me.com" and/or "icloud.com"?
Please ... tell me what I have to do!
John, The Netherlands.

Can send but can't receive faxes on HP Laserjet, on Mac 10.9 Mavericks with TAM answering machine

I have an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and an HP Laserjet Professional M1212nf MFP all-in-one print/scan/fax machine connected by USB. I have a telephone system with answering machine connected.
I can send out faxes from the HP and from the Mac (using Fax pdf). What I can't do is receive faxes on the HP (I know that the Mac cannot receive faxes with this machine). I've tried every combination of settings to no avail even disconnecting the phone/answering machine to no avail.
Any ideas what settings I need?
This question was solved.

Hi ChuckStewart,
This is certainly a head scratcher! I have found some additional information, from the following link Using an HP Fax Product with a Telephone Answering Machine (TAM).
I found this blurb interesting, When recording the outgoing message on your TAM, the voice portion should be at least 10 seconds long, but no longer than 20 seconds . Record 5 to 7 seconds of silence at the end of the voice portion of your outgoing message (total outgoing message length would be your voice message plus the additional 5 to 7 seconds of recorded silence ).
I wonder if you might find something helpful in the document.
Please let me know. thanks.

Any clues as to what I can do to fix this?

Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

Hi
Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
Any further information required?
M. Miller

Thanks for your quick reply.
We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
Have you heard anything similar?

Adobe Bridge CS6 Mac cannot be launched

Dear Adobe community!
I just installed my brand new CS6 Design & Web Premium Suite on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3 and installed all of the available CS6 updates.
Unfortunately I cannot launch Bridge (version 5.0.2.4) from my account (admin privileges) - after double clicking the icon the application window shows up for just a fraction of a second and I receive a pop-up window saying something like "operation could not be completed successfully" (I am running a German language version).
- Trying to start Bridge from PS results in the same error mesage.
- Trashing the Bridge preference file did not change anything.
- Starting Bridge with the option key pressed and forcing reset of all parameters to default does not change anything.
- Booting my Mac into safe mode (pressing shift key on startup) does not help.
But creating a new user on my single-user Mac allows to launch Bridge when logged in to that new account.
I'd be more than happy to receive some helpful coments from the experts around here!
Oliver

Update - problem finally solved!
What happened in between:
I started a chat session with one of the Adobe support guys. He said that the cause for the malfunction was most likely a conflict with permissions.
After I told him that I had tried to repair permissions several times by Apple's Disk Utility without success he suggested me to copy the following file / directory from my newly generated "Test" user (under whom Bridge could be launched effortlessly):
[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.bridge5.0.plist
and the whole directoy
[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6
If that would not resolve my problem there was no other "cure" for my problem because of an irreparable permission conflict.
After that I logged in under the new user "Test" and copied the mentioned files / directoy to a separate drive, logged in back as my standard user (the account where Bridge refused to start) and overwrote the files I had just exported before.
Result: Same problems - Bridge refused to start as before.
Dang...
So there is no way to solve this problem like Adobe said?
Presuming that the pending permission problem was the cause for my Bridge-issue I decided to "force" permissions:
I went to OS X Finder, marked the home directoy of my problematic account, typed cmd + I to open the info window, went to the bottom section where permissions are listed, wnet to the user group "admin" and marked this group as "read and write" (it was read only before!) and chose the option to apply theses settings to all of the sub-directories and files (icon with the gear-wheel).
After the changes where applied I restarted my Mac and logged in as my standard user and opened Bridge:
Bridge started but showed the sub-directories of my "Test" account. So I shut down Bridge, deleted the com.adobe.bridge5.0.plist file from my standard account, rebooted my Mac - and voilà - Bridge works like a charme!
FInally I wouldn't say that there was no "plan B"...
Maybe this workaround can be helpful for someone out there!

Oliver

We uninstall photoshop cs6 on PC (creative suite design standard). How can we re-install it with our serial number ?

After a problem with photoshop cs6 (CTRL+T stopped the application with an error message and closed the window), we uninstall it.
We can't download photoshop cs6 on the adobe site to re-install it.
At the moment I am working on photoshop cc evaluation for 1 month.
What can we do to re-install cs6 with our serial number ?
Thanks.

If you did not deactivate the software before uninstalling then you should remember to do that in the future should you decide to uninstall again. If you contact Adobe support thru chat they can help with deactivating the original installation.

HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs? This causes increased frustration during the updating process. After maverick we cannot edit the id being used anymore.

If you can prove ownership to the Macs, call Apple Care and request the Account Security Team.

I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers

HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer C3917A (1997)
Operating system: OSX 10.7.4
Error message: Printer busy
No known changes made to system or configuration
I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers (two on OS X Lion and one on Leopard). I'm using ethernet to connect to a router and then my computer (although I have also tried to connect directly to no avail.) We went away for 2 weeks, returned and got “Printer busy” for all 3 computers. I reset the printer to factory settings. Same problem. By the way, the printer says READY. I then went to System prefs and clicked ‘–‘ in the Print & Scan section to remove the printer. When I tried to add back the printer, nothing shows up. I now remember that this may be because the means of communicating with the printer has now changed and that I had found the printer by somehow adding its address settings (or something). Can anyone help me to reconnect with the printer?
This question was solved.

Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto
