I have an iMac and an HP laptop, can I use my one license for both?

So I asked the other day how many computers one purchase, of the education version, would cover and Adobe told me two. Now I want to know if they will cross platforms. I am looking to ask for a new desktop for Christmas and I want a iMac, but I am worried that I won't be able to get cs5 on that and my pc laptop. So I guess my question is can one license cross platforms, and what computer should I get?
I am partial to the user friendliness of Mac, but all my training and other programs are for pc.
You can see my dilemma. Please help!

Unfortunately no NobleC. The only way to reduce the cost would be if you purchased a volume license. But to receive a discount you would need to purchase more than two copies.
If you are not planning on using the Mac primarily for your creative work you could use a Windows virtual machine to run the software. The performance would not be on par with running it on the Mac natively but should be ok for minor editting and opening documents. The other option would be using Boot camp to boot into Windows and install our software while running Windows natively via Boot camp.

I have an IMAC and a IPAD 2 can data, files and Programs, be shared or tranfered?

The Mac uses Mac OS X. The iPad uses iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps written for one will not run on the other. Some Apple and 3rd party apps have been developed in both OSes. These apps can usually share data and files across the two OS platforms.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Downloaded Mountain Lion. Could no longer send mail messages. Checked my Mail preferences and they were correct. Icalled my ISP and they tried to help make it work by setting some new preferences Did not work. Took Mac Book Pro into ISP to see if they could remedy the problem. They could not. Still cannot send messages. The only thing I did from when mail could send mail and when it could not was to download Mountain Lion on to both computers. Help!

Just realised that with the SSL checked in the smtp set up, password authorisation is required and is put in the box immediately under the SSL checkbox, which is under the port(s) being used. Can now send mail:)

I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

HELP!
I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store

I live in Germany and in the USA. How can I use an itunes account for both shops ?

Hi,
I live half a year in Germany and half a year in California. How can I use my different Apple ID's to buy in Germany from the US-iTunes shop and in the U.S. from the German shop. Reason: the shops have different offers. Some booksare not available in the German shop and some are not available in the U.S. shop.
For a person, who lives in both countries the restrictions makes absolutely no sense.
Has anybody an idea how to manage that`
Thanks

For starters, there's probably not many people who have dual national residencies so I'm guessing it's not a priority with Apple. The solution according to the store terms of use regarding your physical location, credit card billing address, nation of store, is when you are physically present in Germany you should be making purchases from the German store with a credit card billed to an address in Germany. When in the USA you buy from the US store with a credit card billed to a USA address. You're not supposed to use a store in another country when not actually present in that country even if you have a valid account there.

How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp

Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)

I have 2 iphone 5's, can I use 1 itunes account for both phones

Can you use the same itunes on two phones?

Yes, but if they are for 2 different people make sure they have separate apple id's for things like imessage, icloud, facetime etc.

I have a imac and a pc laptop set up with my wireless lexmark x7675 printer through my bthome hub network, but cannot get macbook pro to work

i have a lexmark wireless printer, its connected to my imac via wireless bthome hub connection, works fine, so does my pc laptop. but when it comes to connect my macbook pro aswell it wont work. i have installed lexmark drivers on macbook, i have follwed the wireless connection setup and plugged in via usb port. it says it has connected successfully, but it will not print. i had it connected at one point, but would only print if the imac was on, but now it wont even do that.
please help, it seems like instead of connecting through bthome hub it wants to connect to my imac, how do i change this?

Well there would probably be different settings for the wireless.
For example, with a Lexmark printer although I needed to do nothing to get it to work via USB, to get the wifi working I had to use a special setup option for getting the wifi to work on my pc.
You can probably download the manual for your printer from the manufacturers website, and it should tell you how to get it to work with your printer.

Yes, the license allows 2 installs for the owner's personal use. You can check this in the license agreement if you wish.
