I have CS3 for Windows but want to switch to Mac, how would I go about this?

I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows on an old laptop but want to switch it to my new Mac, how would I go about this?
Do I have to pay for an upgrade to CS6, then somehow switch the license then download to my Mac? Also, I'm a student so it would be a student priced upgrade.

You can either upgrade or move to Creative Cloud. But since you’re a student an upgrade does not exist so just pick the student version you want and go with that.

I have Adobe Flash CS3 for Windows. Recently I switched to Mac and the serial key won't work.

Can I change my Windows version to a Mac version without buying the program all over again?

Hi,
Unfortunetely Flash is platform specific which means if you have windows you cannot install it on mac.
Adobe offers cross platform from Win to MAC but only applies for current shipping version. You need to request for cross paltform upgrade and pay the upgrade price..

Hope this helps.

Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions. I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac.

I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac. I already have the CS5 Suite installed on the Mac. What do I need to do from here? I tried reading up a little bit on this and saw some people said in order to do this you would also need to upgrade your product version. Please tell me this is not the case, as that would be the dumbest and most frustrating customer service move ever to already faithful Adobe purchasers...
Thanks for any help you can give!

Unfortunately, upgrading to CS6 or joining the Cloud are your only options.
Platform swapping (Win to Mac and vIce versa) is only available to CS6 owners.

TS3682 i have recently update ios6 but it's not responding so i would like to backup this update, how colud i do so?

i have recently update ios6 but it's not responding so i would like to backup this update, how colud i do so?

What is not responding?
Did you perform the update via iTunes orover the air?
If iTunes, then all your data is backed up automatically.
Did you make sure to use only the latest version of iTunes (10.7 for PC users)?
If you are saying you want to leave IOS 6 and go back to 5, that is not possible. Apple stops signing previous builds typically within 24 hours from launch.

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

Windows User wants to Switch to Mac

I've had it with Windows! I want to buy a Mac system for the first time. I want to use the system to publish a newsletter and create a web site. Is the G5 the way to go? Can somebody recommend a nice Mac system for this? What software should I use from which a local print shop can generate the hard copies?

Well I'd suggest looking at the Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz, or the Quad 2.5 Ghz models. My reason for suggesting these two is that both models come with a good quality video card with 256 MBs of RAM. Since you will be working with graphics, its a good idea to have a decent video card, and the base card in these models is adequate for your tasks, though of course you could always change the video card to a different model to gain a bit more graphics performance if needed (you can configure the g5 at the Apple store).
Other reasons for the recommendation is the larger hard drive that comes stock in these models. As for processor performance, the Dual 2.3 is pretty good, and should be adequate for your needs. The Quad 2.5 is, well, just a beast. It has been benchmarked in graphic performance with applications of the type you would be using as the fastest desktop computer available in either the Windows or Mac world. Of course benchmarks have to be taken with a grain of salt, they are easily manipulated, and of course if you wait a week a different benchmark will come to a different conclusion.
If you already have a monitor, you should be able to use it with your new Mac. However, if you need a monitor as well, be sure and look at third party monitors, as well as the Apple monitors.
Corel released Corel Draw graphic suite 11 for OS X some time ago, so if you want to stay with Corel you can, though I do not believe they intend to do any updates to the product.
InDesign is a good choice, as is Adobes Creative Suite. The Creative Suite is available in various configurations, including one that has InDesign, GoLive (web design) as well as their graphic manipulation apps, Photoshop, Illustrator and more.
InDesign, after a slight slow start is accepted at just about all graphic design and printing serves, should you need those type of services.
In January, Apple will be holding their annual Mac World in San Francisco. It's usually a good time to look for "specials deals" from the various software and hardware companies that make Mac products. It's also a time when Apple announces new products, so you may want to keep an eye out for any announcements that may interest you.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I reside in india but i want to gift a friend in canada an ipod touch how would i go about this, i reside in india but i want to gift a friend in canada an ipod touch how would i go about this

it says that i cant use a credit card that has a billing address outside canada so how do i got about it. i dont want to have to wire the money to my friend and say go buy yourself an ipod and pretend to be surprised wen it comes home , now can i ?

- You can buy it in India and ship it yourself to your friend.
- Wire the money to another friend and have them purchase it and give to your first friend.
- Or as you say just wire the money directly to your friend.]
You can only purchase items for a country's Apple store if yo have a payment method associated with that country and the shipping address is that country.

Firefox have update for plugin but want to save instead of run it

When updating plugin or anything download want to save it to file instead of run it. Please help...

Update: When Firefox updated itself, it did not complain about any of the current versions of the installed Add-ons.
On a whim, I went to Tools/Add-ons and noticed that one item, Tab Mix Plus, indicated there was an update available. Once that update was installed and FF restarted, the problem no longer existed.
Problem solved by installing TMP 0.4.1.4!
NOTE: Perhaps the FF 31.0 update process should be modified to flag Tab Mix Plus versions prior to 0.4.1.4 when it checks Add-on compatibility.
