If I upgrade from CS3 Windows to CS4 Mac , will my windows CS3 still work?

Subject says it all.
I would like to have photoshop CS4 on my mac but be able to retain the useage of CS3 on my windows machine. Is this possible or will upgrading cancel out my ability to use CS3?

Because i have two computers that i use simultaneously, 1 mac and 1 pc. I would not own a mac if I wanted to run windows on it hehe.
I have software I use on windows because it is more supported than the mac version of it. ( some companies shouldn't tease and say they have a mac version unless they actually have a tech squad capable of squashing bugs )
It is very convenient to have photoshop on my windows pc along with that software.
My PC and Mac are almost identical in specs ( 4gb ram, 2.13 ghz core 2 duo vs 2.4 ghz core 2 duo ) yet my mac can open files from my PC's desktop 10x faster than my PC can. - over the network. I keep my PC in top shape, i defrag, i run malware / antivirus cleaners, I check my registry regularly. Its just not close to being as fast as my mac.
I use my mac primarily for webdesign/development work and thats why I would love to have a permanent version of photoshop on it. the work I do on my PC is related to 3d and the software I use has very poor mac support.
So my question has been answered, I am unable to crossgrade to mac and retain a working PC version. so for now, i get to upgrade the PC version and wait for a few more $ until i can grab a full mac version. at which point i might even go all out and grab the $1700 suite.
Thank you for the help!

  • If I upgrade to Creative cloud, then later cancel, will my current licences still work?

    I have licences for Illustrator and Flash now.   If I upgrade to Creative Cloud, and then at some point in the future cancel my subscription, will I still be able to use the Illustrator and Flash that I have now?
    I don't mind reinstalling them, but I woulnd't want to switch to Creative Cloud and then find that I was then committed to monthly subscriptions forever, even just to be able to use what I have now.

    Yes, you maintain all licences for individual products you own outside of Creative Cloud. So if you were to cancel your Creative Cloud membership, you'd be able to reactivate Flash and Illustrator with your license information associated with the invidiaul products.

  • After upgrade will older iDVD themes still work?

    I currently have iLife 05 Installed with all themes from iDVD 1 to 5. Will these older themes still work after an iLife 06 upgrade?

    Hi AIR, and welcome to discussions!
    Yes, in iDVD 6 are included the old themes: from iDVD5, 4, and 22 themes called "old themes". I don't know if those are all of the ones from 1 to 3, but looks like.
    Anyway, you can keep for some days both version 5 and 6 of iDVD if you rename iDVD 5 with a different name (like "iDVD 5") before installing version 6.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition?

    Dear all,
    I know some one might have asked it but I just wanna re-confirm.
    Would the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition? I am currently using Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro (Late 2010 Version) and I do not have parallel desktop. I asked the same question when Lion was released, but HK Apple Store said YES and Melbourne Apple Store said no. I am a bit confused now.
    Thank you for answering. Cheers!

    Nothing.
    That said, you should ALWAYS have a backup as anything can happen at anytime.

  • Formatting lost following upgrade from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4

    Hi there
    I've recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4 but now find that quite a bit of my formatting has been altered, particularly with tables.  Does anyone know if there's an easy way to remedy this throughout my site or do I have to go into every page and manually change font sizes etc?
    Many thanks'
    Chrissie

    Hey thanks John
    Here's the home page:   www.maristrugby.org.nz
    I've uploaded a 'converted' (to CS4) page, it's very messy but I've loaded it up for now so that you can see the problems I'm having:

    Hopefully there will be a relatively 'easy' answer!
    Thanks again

  • After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work

    After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
    When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other... 
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
    in the iTunes Store.
    The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
    Can't recommend them enough.

    Wish to upgrade from SL to ML on Mac Pro. Spec says only on Mac Pros from early 2008 but unsure how old my Mac Pro is as it is from work and there are no records. How do I find out if ok to upgrade to ML?

    You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
    And in the Apple menu > about this Mac >  more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.
    EDIT.  These are the specs for the      April 2007 version.

    There is no Mobile Me anymore. It has been gone for several years, now. However, your existing calendar and mail will integrate with iCloud if you enable it on your system.

  • Running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?

    I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?  There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now.  Thoughts? Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Regards
    Mithun

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC Version 10.5.8. I have never upgraded but have a LOT of projects. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?), will my GB version still work? Do I need to upgrade GB?

    I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC 10.5.8. I have never upgraded. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?) will my GB version still work? I have a LOT of projects involved and hope they will transfer. Can I (and should I) upgrade GB at the same time and how far should I go with that without causing a problem with my projects? What would I gain if I upgrade GB? Thanks!

    my copy of 4.1.2 appears to work under 10.6.8, though i have not done extensive tests

    v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

    the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
    In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
    Any help would be appreciated.
