Have CS4 for windows, just bought a mac, can I install cs4 on my mac with my existing serial number
Hello,
I just bought a mac mini and i would like to use cs4 design premium which I have already purchased for windows? Is there a way to install and activate it on my mac without repurchasing the entire suite again?
No. The facts you are not going to like:
- serial numbers are platform specific
- platform switches only apply to the latest version (CS6)
- CS4 no longer is eligible for upgrades to CS6
- even if none of this was an issue, CS4 has limitations and issues on current versions of OSX. It's showing its age...
In short: No way other than sign up for CC or buy CS6.

I bought a refurbished Ipod touch, 3rd gen(link: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC086LL/A?mco=MjI4NjY2MTE)
The home button broke on me, so while setting up servicing for it, when I entered the serial number into the Apple site, my supposedly "3rd gen" Ipod showed up as a 2nd gen. Is this normal? And if not, what can I do about it?There are no 3rd gen 8GB models. They did not make them.

I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?
What DVDs are this ?
If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

I have CS4 for Windows; I'd like to download it to my Mac as well. Can Adobe provide me a Mac (OS X 10.9.5) version for free?
You can get a Mac version for free via download but your license will not work with it. CS licenses are operating system specific, so a Windows license cannot be applied to a Mac, and vice versa. You could install a Windows emulator on the Mac to try to get a Windows version working on it.

I have Adobe CS4 Photoshop for Windows (PN 65015634 - from 2008) -- Can anyone let me know if this is compatible with Windows 7??
Many and sincere thanks!!You need to have your computer looked at for upgrading and evaluate your third party hardware, software and files.
To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
You can hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi security/speed, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck. -
I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

Have CS5 for Windows. Switched to Mac. What do I need to do to get photoshop that will work on Mac?
Thanks,
MartinContact 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. -
i bought the student and teacher version of CS5 extended for windows. Can I download the Mac version to my new apple computer and use the same serial number after removing phtoshop from my PC?
Can I download the Mac version to my new apple computer and use the same serial number after removing phtoshop from my PC?
Short answer: not for CS5.
Platform swaps are available but only for CS6

I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can I install the same license copy on mac ?
Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 ( Student Edition ) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?
Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

I purchased cs4 for windows and upgraded to cs5 for Mac and cs6 for mac. Now I want to install the original and upgrades on a Mac how will the cs4 work on the Mac when it was purchased for Windows.
Thanks
BrianForget about CS4. It's not required if all you want to do is install CS6 on your Mac.
Also don't worry about installing CS5.
Just install CS6, enter your CS6 upgrade serial number then enter your CS5 upgrade serial number when prompted. -
Need Help Installing Flash CS4 For Windows
Hi, I have downloaded the two files to install Flash CS4 for Windows from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
Unfortunately, there is no explanation whatsoever provided regarding how to use the two files, and how to install my product.
I feel like I am missing something obvious here, but can someone please explain.
Kind regards,

Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB port and can't get any display. Any suggestions?
USB is not a Video Interface. to use it with this projector, you must have downloaded and be running:
Macintosh
USB Display v1.50
Mac OS X (v10.7 - v10.7.x), Mac OS X (v10.6), Mac OS X (v10.5)
epson14423.dmg - 2.9MB - posted on 10/24/11
This file contains the Epson USB Display v1.50. This software, along with a USB cable, allows you to display images from your computer to your projector.
Installation instructions:
Double-clicking this file creates a disk image on your desktop.
Open the disk image.
Double-click the installer icon to begin the installation.
Download Now
I think it may be superior to get a VGA or HDMI adapter and use the display features built into your Macintosh.
