How do I download mac ver upgrade CS5.5 when I only have windows ver?

I currently have InDesign CS5 on my Windows pc. I have paid for a Mac CS5.5 upgrade version and want to download it on my new Power Mac and remove forever the windows version on the other computer. I know the mac download is going to look for an installed CS5 which there is not. I think there is some way I get the chance to input the serial # manually but don't know for sure. I do not have a CD mac version, only the windows. If it came with both, I honestly don't know where the disk is. All my software is registered and shows up in My Account and I know I can legally swap platforms once, just don't know the procedure here and was hoping not to have to spend hours on the phone with Adobe.
Thanks.

I didn't have to return anything because it was a download from Adobe store. For those of you who ever get in this situation, it is an easy fix made more difficult by having to spend close to an hour, or more, with customer service. If you have a product on a mac or pc and want to download a version onto an alternate platform -- mac to pc or pc to mac -- they call it "swapping platforms" and they allow you to do this once without charge. When you start the installation you will get to a point where it says you don't have a recognized version on your computer. At that point, you have to be online with customer service because they will give you the instructions and codes to enter to bypass that and finish the installation. You will also have to fill out a form online while you are doing all this that states you will no longer use the previously installed version.
This swap works for simply transferring the same version from one platform to another, or if you are upgrading at the time you are switching back to a MAC -- Yayyyy!

  • How can I download a video from icloud, when it only gives me the option 'watch' ? (The video has not been downloaded before)

    I started downloading an episode from itunes.  before it was fully downladed, I accidentally stopped the download. The video does not exist in my videos, but icloud seems to think so. Icloud therefore does not give me te option of downloading the episode anymore, only the option of watching, which then takes me to 'vidoes' where the video does not exist.

  • How do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running os x 10.5.8

    how do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running 10.5.8

    I might also add your signature is not in congruence with your post.  Do you have 10.8.5, or 10.5.8.  10.8.5 is a free update to 10.9.   10.5.8, you must buy 10.6, download the free 10.6.8 combo to get to 10.8 or 10.9 via the App Store.
    The sequence of the numbers matters greatly.
    Per my prior post
    10.5.8 < 10.6< 10.6.8 < 10.7 < 10.8 < 10.8.5 < 10.9
    People just wanting 10.7 from 10.5.8 can purchase either 10.6 on CD, download 10.6.6 combo, and use the App Store to upgrade to 10.7.   They can also purchase the 10.7 USB Flash drive if it can be found, and install it on an external drive, and import the data over once they are ready to run 10.7.
    The key is knowing your software and driver compatibility.

  • How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2?

    How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2. desktop? I am trying to upgrade my operating system?

    You must upgrade to 10.6.6 but preferably 10.6.8 in order to have the App store,
    You need to have a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
    Once you have upgraded, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
    At this point you should have Snow Leopard and the App Store.   For the moment we will go no further,

    You cannot download OS X. You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:

    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  • How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite!

    How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite?

    Janet,
    This is why the question rkaufmann87 asked about your model is so important:
    [click chart to enlarge if needed]
    The list covers the early iMacs with Intel processors that shipped with either OS 10.4 or 10.5 and have only two RAM slots. As you can see, some have limits to what version of OSX you can install. If the step rkaufmann requests does not narrow down your model, you can do one more thing.
    While the "About this Mac" window is open, click the "More Info..." button at the bottom of that window to get this (assuming you are really running OS 10.5.8 as shown in your profile):
    The code I've indicated with the red arrow corresponds to the codes in the second column on the chart. Post the code your computer reports--again don't post a serial number.
    If your iMac shipped with only 1GB RAM, I fear it is one of the earliest models that cannot be upgraded all the way to Yosemite.

  • I'm trying to download the newest upgrade and when I do it says that all my old info will be erased(games, songs, apps)....anyone else have this issue?

    I have an ipod touch. I am trying to download the newest upgrade and when I do I get the same message that to do so will mean all my old inof (songs, games, apps) will be erased!? Anyone else experience this problem?

    If all the synced media (such as app and music) or in your iTunes library, and if you have a backup. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check, the restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iPod.
    See the following for making a backup and make one if necessary.
