Im on PC with Adobe CS4 does that software also work on Mac or do I have to repurchase Adobe CS6

I Have Adobe cs4 and will it transfer to new mac or do I need to go ahaed and update adobe to new version on Mac

Adobe does sell Mac and Windows versions of their software. Depending upon which copy you buy, you may get both media in the same box. From my experience reading the Adobe License Agreements though, they technically don't allow you to install the same license on both OSes, they require you to purchase a separate license for the second OS. I do know some people who have actually installed the same license on Windows and Mac, and Adobe hasn't hunted them down, nor disabled their software, but I do not believe that the older license allow for that.

I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

I want to put Lion on my computer but it asks what app I want to open it with. What does that mean?

I want to download lion onto my computer but the computer keeps asking me what app I want to open it with. What does that mean? How do you know what app to open it with? Help!

That isn't the way it worked for me.
Once I download the installer from the App Store, I was able to open it and install Lion.
I would suggest trying to download it again.
If the same thing happens again, you shopuld discuss this with the App Store Support.

Hanging problem with Adobe CS6 in Mountain Lion

I recently upgraded my retina Macbook pro to Mountain Lion and was having some trouble with Adobe CS6 apps hanging on startup among other things (including iCal crashing on startup)
I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and Manually rebuilt my applications folder so that Adobe MAster COllection was installed freshly on a clean install of ML.
Now it is still sporadically hanging when I try to open Photoshop, Bridge or other Adobe apps. The only thing that seems to fix it is a restart which is inconvenient when you're in the middle of work.
ANy ideas?

Thanks for this. I had heard of the fonts problem some people have had. All my fonts were freshly installed by either the system or Adobe when I installed Master Collection. Following your advice, I just verified every font and the only problem that showed up (as you had predicted) was a minor duplication which I corrected. So, it seems unlikely to be the fonts.
As for your other point, I have been using Final Cut Pro X and that has worked fine. The only other app that has given me trouble has been Calendar which seems to get strangely stuck sometimes while it is updating. Makes me wonder if there's something going on with the network I'm using.
One thing I hadn't thought of was that it could be a problem with gfx card switcher. This seems unlikely but I'll try disabling it and see if that helps.
Weirdly, today when I had this issue, Photoshop loaded up ok but then hung when I tried to load any file into it. Bridge wouldn't start at all. I didn't try the others. Yesterday I was having problems with Illustrator.
Anyway, I see what you mean about it not being a widespread problem - which is why I started this thread. It seems no one else is having any issues. If anyone else knows what I should look for in my configuration please let me know.

I want to use asus air charger to charge my ipad 4 with my computer. does this software harm my ipad battery?

Hi , I want to use asus air charger to charge my ipad 4 with my computer. does this software harm my ipad battery? can I use it? thanks

Look at this description and review. http://asus-ai-charger.en.softonic.com/
The app is free, So it won't cost to try. The iPad 4 comes with a 12W wall charger. Most computer USB ports output only 2.5W, so even if you get a 50% increase, it will still take a long time to charge your iPad.
Bottom line - Use the wall charger.
Here's some battery/charging info.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Actually you always use ethernet..
MBA does not come with ethernet port.. but apple sells both a cheap usb to ethernet and a much more expensive and much faster thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. With ethernet to eliminite this silly situation of setting up wireless over wireless, so if you make any change you instantly drops you off the network. Like cartoons of people sawing off the branch they are sitting on.
But you can reset.. no reset will do anything at all to the material on the hard disk. You must deliberately erase it.
Read the info because you may only need to do a soft reset. That is hold the reset for 1sec (2-3sec is fine) as long as you don't hold it for a full reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
Even a full factory reset will not harm your files in any way, (or any further!!)
I am "concerned" that you have no backup to vital files on your TC. That is not wise. TC are no more immune to failure than any other hard disk.. (actually latest ones use the cheapest green WD drives money can buy) and keeping files in only one location is a receipe for disaster. An external drive is much more accessible.. cheaper and tend to be more reliable. There are too many things to break in the TC.. it is designed as a backup target for TM. Not a file store.

Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

When I first set up my ipad2, I think I set it up so everything is saved with icloud. Does that mean I have to have a wi-fi connection to hear songs and watch whatever I saved?

I just got a new iPad2 wi-fi. This is the first Apple product that I have ever owned. When I did the initial set up, I think I checked the box to use icloud. Does that mean that everything will now need to have a wi-fi connection in order for me to view or listen to it. I want to listen to music and play games while on an airplane. So does this mean that anything that I've saved will only be available to me with a wi-fi connection? If so, is there a way to change it back so that everything is saved directly to the device so I can have access to it when no wi-fi is available?

no.. you can listen to the music, play movies and games without worry if not connected to the wifi.
more info about icloud is here http://www.apple.com/icloud/

Nikon D7100 Not Compatible with Adobe CS6

I recently purchased a new Nikon D7100 DSLR camera and was quite surprised to find out that it is not compatible with my Adobe CS5 Standard Edition Suite software.
From the little bit of info I found online, it appears that non-upgradable changes to the Camera Raw component between versions CS5 and CS6 have made my software incompatible with my new camera. This means that with my CS5 Standard Suite I cannot open RAW image files in Bridge or Photoshop.
The only two options I have found so far are:
[1] Upgrade my software to CS6 or CC: For me this is cost prohibitive.
[2] Use Adobe's RAW to DNG converter and then open the image files as DNGs in Bridge and Photoshop: It appears that the DBG converter is reducing the file size and this I assume (rightly to wrongly) that it might also be reducing the image quality. To facilitate maximum options in image post production, I want to maintain the extreme detail that RAW provides. I am not sure if DNG will retail the exact same level of detail and quality. Can anyone shed additional light on this?
[3] Are there any other option that I have missed that would allow me to upgrade the Camera Raw component of CS5 so that it is compatible with newer DSLRs like the Nikon D7100?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
irwin

You have not missed any options for CS5 opening the raw data, directly. The D7100 requires at least CS6/ACR 7.4 or DNGC 7.4 that will make DNGs that will open in older ACR versions.
DNGs may different in size from the NEFs due to differences in lossless compression or a different-sized embedded preview image or even missing Nikon-only metadata in the DNG. In other words, the photosite values for the sensor data should be preserved but the packaging of, or the other data around, the sensor data may be different.
The cheapest option to make PS work with the native raw files is likely PS-CC for $10/month as part of the Photography Plan.
Another option is to purchase (serial number version) or rent (CC Photography Plan version) Lightroom and use it to do what you’d normally do in Bridge and ACR, and then use Edit In Photoshop w/in LR to do finishing touches in your older PS. This option renders a TIF or PSD to disk with all your raw-file adjustments and then passes this file to PS for further editing. The one caveat with buying the serial-number LR is that a new version of LR is probably about ready to come out and waiting until that new version is available would save money.
One thing to consider is that the PS-CS6/ACR 7.x has a new toning model which is an improvement for most images and you don’t have access to that if you’re not using at least CS6.
The reason Adobe doesn’t add new camera support to CS5 (and CS4 and CS3 and CS2 and CS and 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) forever is because they want to be paid for their work, and if every camera update was free forever people would only buy PS, once, and would keep using that without paying anything more until maybe the OS on their computer wasn’t compatible, anymore. This is one reason Adobe went with CC, so people would pay a little continuously and this constant cashflow would better match Adobe paying their employees continuously, instead of having to budget for the future based on how many new customers might buy an upgrade every 1.5 years or so.

Problem with Extensis plug-in with Adobe CS6

I have a Mac running version 10.8.5 OS X and I also have Adobe CS6. I recently update Suitcase Fusion to their newest version (Suitcase Fusion 5) and since then I've been having a lot of problems with CS6. Every time I start the program it gives me the message: "The Extensis plug-in could not locate a running copy of the FMCore application. Auto - activation plug-in functionality will be disabled". I'm not sure how to fix this, so I would appreciate any help!

What does Extensis say?
From where I sit, the error message is telling you that you only updated the plug-in but not the application itself. But only Extensis can clarify that.

Im on PC with Adobe CS4 does that software also work on Mac or do I have to repurchase Adobe CS6
