Does Photoshop CS5 for windows work on a mac

After much debate, I want to convert to a mac as opposed to windows. However, I was wondering if the CS5 student edition will work on a mac computer?

It won't. See Jeri's link for the details. However, since you speak of student edition, you may simply have to buy a completely new license - if you're eligible - or bite the bullet of getting a commercial upgrade.

Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

Photoshop CS5 for Windows not working on dual monitor setup

If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. (see screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/f1bHcM3E )
(I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
Does anyone have any idea what's up with this? I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.
Thanks!

Oh, that's possible. I went and read the detailed specs for my computer and it seems like it has both Intel and NVIDIA. Could that be it? (Computer hardware issues are not my area of expertise.)

Can I use my Photoshop CS5 for Windows on my new iMac computer

I have a genuine Photoshop CS5 I bought for my old, not used,Windows7 64bit computer. Can aI get a transfer of my CS5 onto my new iMac computer.

License transfers are only possible for current versions. Refer to this:
Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
As a stopgap measure, you could install your Win 7 via Bootcamp and still use your PS on the Windows side...

Can Quicken for Windows work on a Mac w/Lion installed using Parallels?

I've never used Parallels but am panicking with the phaseout of the already anemic Quicken for Mac 2007. Has anybody used the more powerful Windows version of Quicken on a Mac through Parallels or some other PC emulator? And will it work with Lion?
Appreciate whatever help you can provide.

Many people run Windows on their Macs for just such reasons, and while I have not myself run Quicken for Windows, I've seen a number of reports from people who do and they've reported no problems that one would not encounter on a standard Windows system. The latest version of Parallels is working fine for me under Lion.
There are also other banking applications that do work on Lion, iBank 4 as an example, and at least some of those can import Quicken files. And of course there's Quicken Essentials for Mac, if that limited feature set would work for you. So you have several options for replacing Quicken for Mac.
Regards.

Photoshop CS5 for Windows - Image resize/shadow detail

Hi
I have a problem I am experiencing more often that I could do with some help on.
My problem is that, if I reduce a photograph in size, the shadow details becomes distorted. The distortion when viewed at 100% looks like a feint grid hatching effect.
My workflow consists of Adobe lightroom - I shot in RAW, then prep in Lightroom. Then I use photoshop if I need to do some additional work on the photo.
Its very odd. I can reproduce the problem in photoshop as soon as its opened from lightroom. Meaning - I havent applied anything in photoshop like adjustment layers or filters.
Can anyone offer a steer on this, or has anyone come across this before? I can post an example of this when I get home (I am at work at the moment)
I was hoping someone else may have come across this issue and perhaps offer a workaround.
I am patched uptodate with all available patches.
Thanks in Advance

Hi, I think that I have a problem wtih my Photoshop CS5 for Windows XP.

I need to visualize the timeline icon in the animation window, but doesn't exist in the bottom right corner.
Can you help me?

The timeline feature is only in photoshop extended, i believe.
If you go to Help>About Photoshop, does it say extended?

I purchased photoshop cs5 for windows and want to install a license on my new MacBook Pro?

Is there a way that I can exchange my serial number for my third license for one that is compatible with Mac?

They have told it correct , you cannot have the windows and the mac serial number both , serial number of adobe are platform dependent hence you can have only one serial number either for mac or windows.
If you have bought Mac then you ask for a platform swap , wherein a new serial number and installtion media will be provided to you for mac but then your windows serial number will be cancelled and you will not be able to use it.

I ordered the photoshop essentials for windows and needed the MAC version,

I downloaded it and then registered the product thinking I would need to ask for an exchange, however it is working okay, I think, do i need to make the change?
thanks

You might have gotten the Mac version anyways. Assuming you mean Photoshop Elements, your purchase is good for either platform. When you downloaded it might have automatically detected your system and delivered the proper version.
If you have a problem you should be able to get the proper version without having to make any arrangements with Adobe.

Photoshop CS6 for windows converted to a MAC version

Is this possible?
Thanks~

You qualify for a platform swap. Just follow the instructions.

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.

Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition? Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC? I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine. Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
A side note: Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly. I especially like the nice table they've built:

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac? And how much does it cost?

Forget that nonsense talk about volume licenses. Or are you saying you need 10 Windows licenses? You simply buy a new version of PS (= new license) or do a platform swap.

Photoshop CS5 has stopped working while I draw.

So I have Photoshop CS5 extended and Im using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260m 1gb video card. A Asus G60Vx laptop. 4gb of ram.
So heres the story. When Im drawing on a picture it could be from 5 to 45 minutes of drawing photoshop will all of the sudden crash with the error saying "Adobe photoshop cs5 has stopped working" and i have to close the program losing all of the progress in my drawing.
I have called and talked to 3 different Adobe Reps that I can hardly understand... and have done ALL of the suggestions they have given to. From dragging the settings folder to the desktop from dragging the plugins folder to the desktop to reinstalling the program which i have done twice. Also *I use no 3rd party plugins ONLY A WACOM PEN AND TOUCH TABLET** Regarding the Tablet I have called Wacom and they have no clue of how to fix this issue either I have reinstalled it and updated the latest driver for it. Still nothing. Im am getting very upset I NEED* this for my college class... and NO ONE can help me. Everyone I talk to acts like they have no clue what to do they are just giving me steps that i follow that lead me to nothing. just the same problem. Please someone help me through this. I had been using this program and tablet FINE for like 2 or 3 months and just last week it starting doing this.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

I would also definitely clean out my drive using CCleaner and run a defragmentation. Could well be that too much fragmentation is preventing PS from expanding its temporary files beyond a certain point and then it goes belly up....
Windows 7 keeps its drives defragged all by itself and it will tell you about drives getting full.
A better approach would be to scout around in the Windows System Event Log and see if it's logging any failures.
