How do I move CS4 onto my new Mac?

Hi,
I have a student edition of CS4 on my Mac, I have just bought a new Mac and want to use it on there instead, how do I move it? or can I just re-use the initial install disc?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
My question dovetails onto the previous one. I am migrating to a new MacBook Pro laptop, and am wondering if I can migrate my CS4 applications, and THEN deactivate them from my old computer. I had to remove some files from the Library folder to get my CS4 apps (specifially InDesign and Illustrator) to print after I upgraded my old computer to Lion, and I'd rather not have to jump through those hoops again if I don't have to. Plus, I don't have install disks, as I downloaded CS4.
Thanks so much!
Judy

  • How do I move iTunes to a new Mac without loosing my ratings and plays?

    I don't have a new Mac yet, but before I buy one I'd like to know how to transfer my iTunes library.
    I am really depending on my ratings and plays so I don't want to loose them.
    So how should I do it? backup? home sharing?
    And another question: I have my iTunes library on my external hd. Could I install the whole iTunes on the external hd and then use itunes on any Mac with the hd plugged in?

    so just to get it right: you mean copy the iTunes folder to new Mac INSTEAD of installing iTunes there?
    iTunes will be installed on your new Mac. there will be an iTunes folder existing there but it will be devoid of content (just the default files).
    by replacing this default iTunes folder with the one from your old Mac, you are copying the +*heart & soul+* of your library to the new machine: the all important *iTunes library file*.
    the iTunes library file contains info such as playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc.

  • How do I get CS4 onto my new macbook?

    I have been using CS4 on my pc for quite a while now and I just switched to a mac. I dont want to upgrade at all. I have my serial number and I want to know where I can download the software that I own.

    Unfortunately you cannot use a Windows serial number to license a Mac version. They are two completely separate, unrelated serial numbers and won't work on the other platform. You can only install a Windows version on Windows and Mac on Mac.
    There is a platform transfer process to switch serial numbers from Win to Mac (and vice versa) but it only applies to current versions (currently CS6). You won't be able to use it for CS4.

    Your options:
    1) Keep using CS4 on Windows
    2) Buy a new version of CS6 for Mac at full price since there is no upgrade path from CS4 to CS6
    3) Join the Adobe Creative Cloud and pay the monthly membership fee. You will then be able to install CS6 on both Mac and Windows for the same membership fee since Cloud versions are authorised via your Adobe ID (no serial number) and will work on both platforms for the one membership fee.
    For the record, trial versions of CS4 can be downloaded from
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    The trials can be installed and licensed with a valid serial number. But you can only license per platform (Win only or Mac only) as discussed above.

  • I want to transfer Adobe CS4 onto a new Mac without disc (lost). Where can I download and install CS4 or get the CS4 disc from?

    I have looked up how to transfer CS4 from old mac to new by deactivating codes etc. I have my original serial code but don't have the original disc after moving house 8 times since purchasing. Can anyone help with where I can download this?
    Thanks

  • How do I install CS5 onto my new Mac OSX that has no disc drive?

    I have the serial number and have loaded it onto one other computer, so I should still be able to put the program on my laptop as well. But it is giving me an error 6 for both PS and AI, but InDesign is saying I am missing files.
    I have contacted the help center and it was no help, it was clear she did not know what to do because she kept asking me if I had a disc drive on my laptop which I had to keep clarifying that no, I don't.
    I put the applications on a external harddrive and tried dragging them over onto my laptop, hoping it would just require I type in the serial number, but that did not work.
    Please help!

    Correct. No install, no licensing system, no working apps. You must run the installer properly. Refer to the below articles:
    Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7"
    Troubleshoot with install logs
    Anything beyond that will require much more info on your part.

  • I am trying to download CS4 onto my new Mac computer.  I don't have the original disk.  Help please!

    I can't find my original disk to download CS4.  Is there another way I can download this?

    Well, it certainly does. 10.10.3 just got released today and it looks nice.
    I am downloading ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1.dmg which is the 1GB Photoshop installer.
    DMG is Disk Image and that means double-clicking it will mount a disk as if it was your cdrom.
    It may open and show an "Install Photoshop CS4" Option which you double click to start the install.
    CS4 was before "Gatekeeper", so it may get stubborn and give you an "unknown developer" warning and refuse to launch.
    In that case you right or ctrl-click on the installer and choose Open as if to say, "it's ok, just run it".
    More when I see what's going on.

    What does "the registration won't let me" mean? If the serial number is rejected, contact support by web chat. for anything else you need to provide proper technical information and actually explain your issue.

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one

    I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

    Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.
