How to switch CC from Windows to Mac

I have Creative Cloud on my Windows desktop and laptop. I am considering moving to a new Macbook Pro. How do I switch CC from Windows to Mac?
Thanks,
Mike

I appreciate the advice, but I've discovered that my OS has to be updated first (was 10.6.8) and am in the process of upgrading to Yosemite. Then I will try to login to Creative Cloud on the Mac and from there navigate as you describe. I hope to report this worked!

    Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

    Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
    How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
    You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
    If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
    The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
    Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

  • Switching subscription from Windows to Mac

    I have a CC subscription and would like to switch it from my Windows computer to my Mac.  I made a few searches but I'm having a brain-fart on good search terms and haven't found what I'm looking for.
    Is there a step-by-step for making this switch?  Or could someone point me in the right direction?
    Your time is most appreciated - and observed in good thoughts.
    All the very best!

    There is no need to switch.  You are allowed to have the software installed and working on two machines, and since it is CC it means you can have mixed systems, meaning one installation could be Windows and one could be Mac.  So you only need to be concerned with installing on the Mac.  If you want to you can sign out of the Windows installation, but it is not required.

  • I have just bought a mac and also have windows installed but how do i change from windows into mac?

    I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

    To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX.  Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.

  • PSE12: How do I migrate from Windows to Mac

    I bought
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
    and
    Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
    for my daughter.
    She has migrated from PC to Mac. How can I get the Mac versions of these softs?
    From my downloading, I can only see Windows installers (exe and 7z files)

    Contact Adobe to see if this is possible. There is no guarantee that any software is portable, and I feel the student edition may not be, but Adobe will have the final say.

  • Switching ipod from windows to mac

    I have a windows computer and i am switching my ipod to my powebook but i can't update it and cannot put songs onto my ipod or get them from my ipod, i want to make it mac formatted. my ipod doesn't work on my windows computer anymore either which isn't a problem but i can't use that computer to fix the problem. thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you want to make your iPod Mac formatted, you need to download the Mac version of iPod software updater and install it on your Powerbook. Then run it and connect the iPod when told. Choose to restore. This will convert the iPod to Mac format which will erase everything on it.
    Make sure your iPod is fully charged first.

  • Switch ipod from windows to mac

    I'm a novice. pls help...I set up my ipod for use with my pc and now want to switch it to use it with my mac laptop. How do I proceed? Thanks.

    Well it isn't absolutely necessary because a Windows formatted iPod will work just fine on a Mac.
    The major drawback to this is should you ever want to update the iPod software, you'll need to do this on a Windows PC.
    If you want to format the iPod right now, just connect to your Mac and restore it.
    See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

  • How do I migrate from windows to mac?

    I purchased a Macbook and want to migrate Lightroom 5 from my windows PC to new MAC without having to repurchase Lightroom

    Your LR license is cross-platform.   Download LR 5 from here Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 and install it on your Mac (you'll need the license key you used to install LR on your Windows computer).  Then follow the steps here: How do I move Lightroom to a new computer? | The Lightroom Queen.

  • How to switch subscription from PC to Mac

    I subscribed to Adobe CC on a PC and have since switched hardware to Mac.  How do I move my subscription?

    You do not move it, you install it like you did on the pc.  Install the Cloud manager application, sign in, install the applications.  You can retain the pc installation as a backup if you wish, or you can disable it by signing out.

  • Switching Ipod from windows to mac without losing all data

    Please help. I set up my Ipod last year with windows computer, downloaded most of my CD's and lots of other music, last month laptop was stolen and I decided to buy a macbook as replacment.
    I would like to transfer all songs from IPOD to new itunes library, which requires converting IPod to hard disk, but in mac I am not allowed this function, or I can't find it. The tick box is not shown in the summar page
    Can someone give me an idiots guide, the instructions in various mac help sites are not getting me anywhere!

    First, please note that your iPod previously formatted on a PC, should be able to read by your Mac, but not the other way round. You can copy the music files from your iPod to the iTunes on your Mac by download and install a 3rd party software

  • How do I switch from Windows to mac?

    How do I switch from Windows to mac on a macmini?

    Hi,
    I assume you are talking about a BootCamp Windows, right ?
    If so, usually you hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your Mac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    There you can choose which Operating System to boot into.
    Once in OSX you might wanna go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    Regards
