How do instal an upgrade on a new Mac?

Hope this the right Forum.
I'm about to buy a new Macintosh and I want to just purchase an upgrade to CS6 from CS5 on the new computer. I've already got CS5 installed on 2 computers. What do I need to do to get CS6 on the new computer?

Just install CS6 and it will ask for your CS5 serial number for verification at some point. If it throws any warnings, you may have to deactivate one of your CS5 installs at some point to allow verification and activation. Any otehr issues will have to be dealt with as they arise, so come back here if you get stuck...

  • How to install Windows 7 on 3 new Macs?

    Hi.
    I have three Macs I want to install Windows 7 Home Premium on. Never had Windows install on any of these Macs. This will be the first time. Which Windows 7 do I purchase?
    1. Home Premium Family Pack Upgrade
    2. Home Premium single use
    The reason why I ask is...Isn't single use Windows 7 only allow one computer installation? However, if I get the Upgrade, then I have licenses for 3 computers, but I have to have a previous version of Windows installed for it to work...no? I'm so confused!
    Z.

    Robert has some ideas that truthfully, don't know where he got them.
    You can upgrade the upgrade (reinstall twice) but that is stretching the limits of law. But it will activate and no, you don't have to worry about using one computer at a time.
    You could buy 3 copies of System Builder @ $99 each (Newegg, Amazon, etc) in either 32 or 64-bit. Can be reinstalled on same machine but not moved to a new machine or motherboard.
    There is 3-pack Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium which is what I would go with and use that on all three, as found here:
    http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-Premium-System-Builder/dp/B002NGJO7E/
    I had numerous copies of Vista, one had a free upgrade, but I used Windows 7 RC and Beta for a year and Vista was too much trouble to install. In the end, way to activate an upgrade: just install over itself again. Works fine. I've got three computers with Windows, one had two versions, and more licenses than I need or use - so I don't have any qualm, I've more than paid my dues.
    I would only buy retail if you may plan to get a new Mac and reinstall again. System Builder version are what a lot of builders and users purchase.
    There are some disadvantages of the upgrade packs but handy for a family with multiple PCs already running Windows.

    Copy the contents of the Elements 8 in a pen drive(from a Mac that has the capability) and then copy the contents to your disk(on the new machine i.e. Mac book Pro) and run the installer. If this is not possible you can download the installer directly from here.

  • How to  install OS X Tiger on new Mac Pro

    Does anyone why you can´t install OS X Tiger on the new Mac Pro? I bought it recently and it came with Leopard of course but I really need to run Tiger because of many of my plug-ins for Protools costs a fourtune to upgrade...
    Is it possible to do it? Workaround anybody..?

    Is the hardware in the mac pro all that different than to the one shipped with Tiger???
    I don't know all the differences, but iirc, the Graphics card is a big diff.
    I have Tiger discs for a mac mini shipped just before 2008, would that work you think?
    Can only guess, but no, I don't think it would, all Tiger disks for IntelMacs are Machine specific.
    Sorry, can't help with the links, I've just read about attempts & the difficulties.

  • Installing CS5 Upgrade on Brand New Mac

    I installed my recent upgrade of Photoshop for Mac on my new MacBook Pro.  Understandably, the dialogue box appeared asking for the serial number to the Photoshop I happend to be upgrading.  BUT THEN, once I consulted the original box to my Photoshop CS3 Estended, selected that product, and entered its serial number, both WITH and/WITHOUT the hyphens, The page puts up a caution sign, saying that it isn't a serial number for a qualifying product.  WRONG, it is, HONESTLY, a qualifying serial number, which I bought directly from Adobe.  Now I'm just stuck, and cannot use my legitimate product.

    Several possibilities:
    1.— You are making an error when typing the old serial number, such as typing an O (letter O) for 0 (zero), or viceversa, or 5 (five) for S (letter S), etc.; or
    2.— The old version may be Photoshop Extended and the new one Standard, in which case you need to contact Customer Service for new serial numbers; or
    3.— You are attempting to upgrade from the whole CS3 Suite to just the Photoshop CS5 point application, in which case you are severely out of luck, as that is not allowed.  You can only upgrade to the whole suite again, not to an individual point application.
    As the previous post implies, you need to contact Adobe customer service.  You are not addressing Adobe here in the user to user forums.

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

  • How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled?

    How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled, as stated when I bought it, without opening the box and booting the device? It says "Copyright 2012 Apple Inc." on one of the sides of the box, which makes me uncertain.
    If it does not have Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled I might have bought an old device, in worst case as old as a year or more.
            /Birger

    The late 2012 does have USB 3 !!
    I specifically waited to purchase a Mac Mini
      until USB 3 was made available.
    Look at the diagram (picture) on the bottom of the box.  The diagram that details which ports are available on the unit.
    If you see 3 after USB.. then it is a late 2012 Mac Mini.
    Looking at my box it clearly says USB 3.
    I don't think there has been any changes to the Mac Mini since late 2012.
      other than the pre-installed OS being Mavericks now..
    You will want USB 3!!!
    My box also indicates it is version 2.6 (just above the Airport ID).
      (Mine is definitely a late 2012 model).

  • I m trying to install microsoft xp on my new Mac

    I m trying to install microsoft xp on my new Mac, however after completing the xp installation it now say i need to have windows 7 instead of xp and hence i m not able to use my Mac OS now . Please let me know if I can use xp or in worst case scenario if I need to reinstall window please let me know how to do that now ?

    boot from mac os dvd, go until top meny appears, select disk utility from there, repair HD in whole, quit disk utilities, run startup disk, select OS X to boot from, quit, quit installer
    it will reboot in mac os x, go utilities - bootcamp assistant, remove bootcamp partition, reboot
    select one of VM solutions:
    VMWare or Parallels - commercial
    VirtualBox - free
    Use it.
    I personally don't like other variants like Wine etc

  • Installing CS5.5 on my new mac pro - what to do?

    Over the years I've purchased CS3 (boxed), CS 5 Design Premium (boxed), and CS 5.5 Design Premium (downloaded upgrade). I am ready to install 5.5 on my new mac pro. Questions:
    I had once copied some CS 5.5 dmg files to my backup drive but they appear to be only pdfs about installing, etc., not applications...so,
    Do I need to install my boxed CS5 first or is my 5.5 the complete set even though purchased as an 'upgrade'? (I see there are complete, separate CS5 and CS5.5 folders on my old mac)
    With the above info in mind, I have to re-download CS5.5 from Adobe, right? Thanks!

    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Simply install CS5.5 right away and it will ask for the previous serials for verification.
