I have CS6 for Mac on disc. I've just bought a Windows machine thinking I could install CS6 onto it. What now?
I genuinely thought the CD I bought with CS6 on it would cover both Windows and Mac, so without thinking I bought windows machine, convinced I could just go ahead and install it. Is there a simple way of installing it online and using the same serial number?
No, you have to decide which machine you want to have it on and then request a platform swap if your choice happens to be the Windows machine... then there is no turning back, though you could probably install a Windows emulator on the Mac and use the Windows version there.
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

Bought CS6 for mac, can I also use it on my windows laptop?
Hello,
I bought CS6 for my mac desktop and was wondering if I can also install it on my windows 8 laptop? If this is possible, how would I go about this?
I use my laptop for uni and have recently found out it would be a great help if I had CS6 when I'm on the go.
Cheers.Hi Emmma_
Welcome to Adobe Forums
In order to use CS6 for Windows , we need a Platform Swap .
You can follow the below mentioned link and it will give a clear information about the same -

You can also contact Adobe via the link mentioned below for performing Swap .

I just purchased a Macbook pro laptop. I want to be able to backup and restore as I did in windows with Acronis. In Acronis I take an image of the hard drive, I can then wipe it clean, (format, Dban, etc) and boot off the acronis boot cd, go to my backup and crestore it. After the restore Windows comes up and everything from my pc before I wiped it is now there again, no reinstalling or configuring anything. And it takes about 10 mins or less.
I am looking for a package that will do the same for the MacBook. Any suggestions please?
Thank youThere is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that. -

Where can I find a link to download an English version of Premiere CS6 for Mac? I have a license - can only find other languages, or the cloud.

I have photoshop cs6 for mac but I would like to make one of my 2 seats installed on my PC, how would I get another serial number since this one is just for mac?
Hi Matthew,
Perpetual products which use serial numbers are platform specific. You will not be able to use the same serial on a windows machine.
In order to use Photoshop on both Windows and Mac you will have to go for a creative cloud subscription.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums -
Installation of CS6 for Mac trial version seems to have stopped?
Trying to download trial version of CS6 for Mac and have got to installation of Acrobat X Pro. The download says it's 85% complete and the time is getting increasing longer has been installing for 2hours and the time to complete is currently showing 23 minutes and increasing.
Adobe only sell the latest version of Creative Suite which is CS6 so you can't buy CS5 anymore. Upgrades are also only available from CS5 to CS6 so CS3 wouldn't qualify anyway.
I'm afraid you are out of luck. -
I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
I have cs5 installed and activated on PC A and PC B.
If I buy CS6, can I use that on my MAC C and MAC D while still being able to use the cs5 on my PC A and PC B, since mac and pc are two different platforms?
Thank You!No. That would be against the letters and the legal spirit of the EULA and that aside it's not possible for technical reasons. Either you make a platform swap, in which case you will lose your PC licenses of course, or you buy a second CS6 license for your Mac(s) and keep your CS5 on the PCs.

Tools Panel missing in Photoshop CS6 for Mac
I have been using Photoshop CS6 for Mac for about 6 mths. now. When I opened it yesterday to work on some photos, I noticed that my tools panel that is always located on the left side of my screen had disappeared. I have been unable to locate it anywhere. Also, the top of my photoshop page looks different. Any assistance that I could get would be greatly appreciated.

I Want to Buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac - NOT Creative Cloud
I just bought a new iMac and I would like to buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I am NOT interested in the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud, so please don't even try and sell that to me. I was told by the place I bought my new iMac that Adobe would still sell me Photoshop CS6 if I contacted them. Since I was unable to find a phone number to call, I thought I would try my luck on this forum. Again, I was told that Adobe would send me a link or something like that where I can buy and download Photoshop CS6. Since my new iMac does NOT have a CD/DVD-ROM drive, I would only be able to download the software. I understand that the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud is the newest way of using Photoshop, but I am not interested in that at all. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance with this matter. Thank you for your time and I anxiously await a response.
Respectfully,
ChrisFrom here you should be able to buy photoshop cs6:

Help with Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac
I am a long time user of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 for PC and recently purchased an IMac. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac and am having difficulty displaying an html file in Live View. I always used "Preview in Browser" in CS 5.5 and need this same feature. I have an active site that I imported into CS6 and the site uses templates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Playback Lag in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac
I'm editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac, and the playback is really laggy. Its fine if you're viewing one long clip, but it gets really laggy when it switches between clips. The sound will play, but the playback screen will be frozen on the last frame from the previous clip. I use the latest thin model of the iMac. Can anybody help me?
>Premiere Pro CS6 with the 6.0.0 update
Is there a specific reason you have not applied the bug fix updates?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install
updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Also, only having one hard drive means your computer is having to "struggle" with file operations
An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS)
and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is
not slowed down by trying to do everything
External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -

Do not try to use USB2 for video editing, it is too slow

How do I insert applets in DW CS6 for Mac?
I am a student and my textbook lesson is asking me to insert an applet using insert, media menu but I do not have that option on the Mac version. I have an applet file and I've tried inserting it in as a plugin but when viewing it in the browser it has "pluging missing" in stead of the applet. How do I insert an applet in DW CS6 for Mac?
Thanks for the reply Nancy, your help is much appreciated.
I did have a problem with Java on my iMac but not on my Macbook Pro. My IMac Java hasn't worked correctly since Apple quit updating Java and turned the updates over to Oracle and the console application was removed from system settings. I installed the Java JDK on my iMac (it was already installed on my Macbook Pro). The consol application is now in my system settings and when I go to the Java site, the JRE is running properly on my iMac where it wasn't before.
I opened the page on both computers and it still says the same thing, "Missing Plugin". When I click on the words "Missing Plugin" it says "This page contains content that can't be shown because it's type is unspecified."
I checked to see if Java was enabled and it was.
I also updated the Java plugin before and after trying the page several times with the same result.
I'm thinking that it's an error in the code because the code doesn't look quite right in my novice opinion.
Below is the code I have in my webpage for the applet (formatting ans spacing may not display correctly on the forum page):
<embed src="Applets/Fader.class" width="500" id="textScroll" height="90" name="textScroll" delay="20" stop="4000" fontsize="16" fontstyle="1" fontname="Arial" text0="Click each panel to view our portfolio." text1="Experience a phorography session centered around you." text2="Let us capture cherished family moments." text3="Contact us today to schedule your session.">
</embed>
I've done a little javascript and php but this looks to be a java application class file which was provided by the textbook via web resource files.
Thanks again!
