I'm trying to download CS5 on my new mac, .dmg says its not recognized.

I am downloading from the official adobe site. http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
I have had a pc version for a couple of years and i just got a new mac. I have a license that I can transfer, but the software isn't downloading correctly?

If you're planning to use your CS5 Windows serial number to license CS5 on your Mac then it won't work.
Creative Suite serial numbers are licensed per operating system. So Windows serial numbers will not work on Macs and vice versa.
Platform swaps are available (to swap Win to Mac or vice versa) but it only applies to CS6.
Order product | Platform, language swap
You'll either have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac (known as a crossgrade) or join the Cloud.
Or run virtualisation software such as Bootcamp or Parallels on the Mac and install the Windows version in a Windows environment on the Mac.

  • I want to download os x mavericks but it is saying its not compatible. my laptop is on the list of compatible laptops.

    i want to download os x mavericks but it is saying its not compatible. my laptop is on the list of compatible laptops.

    Do  you meet all requirements:
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

    i bought adobe creative suite premium actual cds, with serial yet when i put its serial in to redeem it and download it onto my new mac through your adobe site it says on your site it says my serial is invalid, when my serial is not, it is clear you adobe advertise you can use your old software on new apple computers but clearly this is not the case; forcing me and all to shell out vast amours of money just to use your products i have already bought????.......i will never buy your product again!!!!

    Your post makes no sense to anyone. you have not provided proper technical information or version information. rather than going off on a tangent, you may want to read this:
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

  • I am trying to download an app for my ipod touch, but its not showing up in the app store. Its the icess app for controlling a bluetooth helicopter

    I recently got my daughter an iCess RC helicopter. It works via bluetooth and can be used with Apple and Android devices. She has a ipod touch, but when trying to do a search for "iCess" in the app store, nothing comes up. It shows up on my PC in the itunes store, but how do I get it on the ipod touch or its apps store?
    Also having the same problem when trying to locate the app with my iPad and its app store. I got it installed on one of my android devices via the Google Play store so I know its there & works. Any ideas or suggestion on what is going on here with the iPod and iPad app stores?

    The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
    How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

  • While trying to download music on my new iPhone it says I can't for 90 days.

    I have my own and only spple ID associated with my windows laptop, iPod touch, and recently purchased iPad and pre owned iPhone.
    I was able to download my music with my Apple ID on my brand new iPad but I recently bought an iPhone 5s from someone else, not at a store.
    The first thing that I did was restore it through iTunes, and set up as new device. I tried to download past purchases on the iPhone but it says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. If you turn on automatic downloads with your Apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
    What does that mean? It gave me an option to cancel and transfer. I hit transfer and it downloaded the song I wanted to download. Is that going to affect my purchases in any way?
    As I mentioned, I have no problems on the iPod touch and iPad but with this pre owned iPhone it showed me that message.
    Now it's letting me download everyday song I want after I hit transfer.
    I've tried to do a research on this but I just can't understand what this mean and if there will be any consequences. I hope someone can explain what's going on, thanks!

    That's what 'transfer' meant?
    I really don't use another Apple ID for music, and I'm keeping the iPhone so I guess I'll be ok then, I can download music on the iPhone now without any problems after I hit Transfer, thank you

  • I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes.  What can I do.

    I bought a  new Ipod (5th generation).  I am trying to sync it to my itunes.  I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered.  I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod.  I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  I did update it to the latest version. How can I get  itunes to recognize my new ipod?

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

  • Need to download CS5 license to new computer. Old computer not available (crashed). Support Chat non-responsive

    What is best way to proceed?

    If you are in a hurry to use the software...  if you only installed it once before you are allowed to have two activated installations, so you should be able to wortk with the newly download files right away.  If/when you get a hold of the chat folks they will end up deactivating anything that is currently activated, so you would need to activate the new installation again following that.  But there is no rush to get the old installation deactivated unless you need to have two working installations immediately.
    The chat functionality is seemingly a game of chance... works well for some but not for others.

  • I have a dell inspirion. My kids locked out my wifes iPad. The dell doesnt have iTunes on it. Been trying to download it. On the site it says its downloaded, but per the laptop, its nowhere to be found. WTH is up with this??

    Dell Inspirion laptop with windows 7 on it, says on the Itunes site that Itunes is downloaded. Yet, there never was a pop up on the laptop saying or showing its downloading. Needing it to unlock a locked iPad thanks to my iTunes folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.
    As far as I am aware you can unlock the iPad by restoring a previous backup, but if this isn't the machine the device previously synced with you may have problems there. If there is any data that isn't stored elsewhere then it will be lost if you simply wipe the device.

  • I am trying to download CS4 onto my new Mac computer.  I don't have the original disk.  Help please!

    I can't find my original disk to download CS4.  Is there another way I can download this?

    Well, it certainly does. 10.10.3 just got released today and it looks nice.
    I am downloading ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1.dmg which is the 1GB Photoshop installer.
    DMG is Disk Image and that means double-clicking it will mount a disk as if it was your cdrom.
    It may open and show an "Install Photoshop CS4" Option which you double click to start the install.
    CS4 was before "Gatekeeper", so it may get stubborn and give you an "unknown developer" warning and refuse to launch.
    In that case you right or ctrl-click on the installer and choose Open as if to say, "it's ok, just run it".
    More when I see what's going on.

  • When trying to back up i pad to mac it says computer not authorised, on 12 apps, i motorised computer but still says the same

    when trying to back up my i pad to the mac it comes up this computer not autorised , i have followed instructions but still coming up on 12 products it will not transfer

    Even though the computer is authorized for iTunes content, perhaps the apps were purchased with a different Apple ID and iTunes account than what you are signed into on your computer. Whichever account that you used to buy the apps, has to be the same account that you are using on the computer in order to transfer the purchases.
