I would like to install one of my favourite windows program on to Mac. How do I do that

I have a favourite program of mine that I have gotten so used to for many years when I was a MS user. Now that I have shifted to Mac, I miss it. I went on the net and found a program called CROSS OVER. When I was about to download it, I felt it would be good to check it out with the Apple Support Communities if this would harm my system in any way if I start using CROSS OVER. So my question is:
1. Is Crossover a safe program to use?
2. Is there any other software available to install the Windows based program which will not harm the MacBook Pro?

1. Yes.
2. WineBottler is a similar tool.

Crossover is the best way to go for user friendly and support.
WineBottler is very old, outdated, and no longer kept up with by the creator. Its next to useless in its current state. You are much better off using Wineskin instead.
all Wine usage (which includes Crossover) is perfectly safe... the question is whether or not you can get it to work right, not if its safe to do... Wine is a constant work in progess and cannot run everything... and some things it runs will not run completely correct...

Thank you for your message.
I can see how you do that when using the 'normal' emailing system from my mailing box, but not when working from the contact application (the 'book' on the bottom icon bar with the @ on it)....

I would like to print a page from a book bought on Amazon. How can I do that?

Dear Support Community:
I bought a digital book on Amazon.com, and downloaded it to my iPad. It is in the KINDLE app. I would like to print a page or two of it on the printer connected to my lap top. Am having a devil of a time. can anyone help? I think I can do it, but just don't know how. Please help?
thanks.

I've never tried to print a book page directly, so don't know if it is possible.
But you could do this.

I purchased the student version of lightroom and used it on PC. Now just got macbook and would like to install on this but no disc drive on macbook. how can i download it and enter an activation key?

i have activation code. originally purchased via amazon as the disc version and i have this but no disc drive.

If you registered the license with Adobe, then you should be able to download the software from your "My Plans and Products" associated to you Adobe ID. Assuming you are logged in with your Adobe ID, try here:

I currently see the serial numbers of all of my versions of Lightroom (and other Adobe products) and there are download links.
Detailed instructions here:

I would like to purchase Lightroom 5 as a standalone product (in Slovenia). How can I do that?

I have been trying to buy this product after using the test version for 30 days. However, the only options I can find are Upgrade (but I do not have a previous version installed) or Cloud.

Click the arrow to reveal Upgrade and Full and choose Full:
Purchasing LR Upgrade wouldn't stop you from also purchasing another LR Full, though you will have to figure how to get a refund from Adobe for the Upgrade version. I'd guess you can do that via a Chat Adobe Support option that should also be available on the Adobe support area in a similar place to where you got a link to these forums. We're all just users here so cannot actually help with the details of a refund if you purchased the Upgrade option by mistake.

Message "to open MLBNexDefAutobahn, you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" I click "not now" and it pops open a second later. It won't go away. Help!

I keep getting a pop up window labled Software Update saying, "To open 'MLBNexDefAutobahn,' you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" I click on "Not Now" and it pops open again a second later. It is not going away! Is this a Java virus? I just installed Maverick Wednesday and got a message yesterday on google that "Google would like to take over this computer"??? Please help.
Thanks!

This is not a virus, or any other kind of malware. Some third-party software that you have installed is repeatedly trying to open a Java process called MLBNexDefAutobahn. What that software might be, I don't know. What software do you have that this name might fit with?

I would like to install the newest version of Acrobat Adobe into 6 computers. I wonder what tha will cost, for a month and to buy it directly? On one computer we have version 9, and that one we would like to uppgrade to the latest version?

Hi Linafrick,
To install Acrobat 11 on to 6 computers you can purchase Volume License.
But since you want it for only a month you need to purchase Acrobat subscription.
A single subscription is good for 2 computers and the same Adobe ID cannot be used to buy multiple subscription copies of Acrobat.
You can however opt for Creative Cloud for Team license such that you can become the Admin and grant access to the 6 users who wish to install Acrobat on their machines.
Feel free to reach our customer service via chat to know more information: Creative Cloud membership support

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat X in 2010 and then a few years later I got a new computer and I would like to install the Adobe Acrobat X on my new computer but I cannot tell if I had more than one license and my Adobe account is not showing that I ever downloaded or ordered anything. Can you assist?

Download/install it from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html and activate it with your serial number.

I have two (paid) copies of lightroom 5 from your photography promotion installed (on two different machines). I would like to deactivate one copy on one desktop so I can install a copy on my laptop. How do I go about this?

While the standalone version of LR has no deactivation, the Photography Program which is LR + PS-CC bundled and licensed through the Cloud will have a 2-activation limit per Adobe ID, and you cannot decouple the LR from the PS-CC in the Photographers Bundle.
You can license the cloud on up to two computers per AdobeID by signing into the cloud. When you try to sign in on a third computer you have the option to deactivate the other two copies, which you can do, and then never sign into the cloud on the one computer you don’t want activated and you’ll be fine.

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

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.

You need to log in to Adobe.com & download the app from the desktop icon.
You can follow Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps . One Creative cloud allows you to actibvate twice.

Would like to install Mac OS X Tiger on my Mac Mini

I would like to install Tiger on my Mac Mini, currently I have Mac OS X 10.3.9 on there. 1.42 GHZ PowerPC G4, 256 MB DDR SDRam, 80 Gig Hard Drive. My question can I install it, would it run okay or do I need more RAM. My problem being I can't afford more RAM. Also how do I install Tiger?
Thank you.

Unless one of these features appeals to you more than losing your easy Find File command to Spotlight's Find index, or you have software which must have Tiger to run, I wouldn't upgrade to it:
