Installing a Mac version of PS that was upgraded from a Win version

I don't seem to be able to get through to Adobe today on the phone at all, so would like to try here with this question.  I just got my first Mac last week after 20 years plus on the PC.  I've been upgrading my Photoshop for WINDOWS since v.4.0 (current version I have is CS4 for Win), and could upgrade to CS5 for Mac, which is about $500 less than buying a new (Mac) version outright.  My concern/question is this, that after inserting the upgrade DVD, the install program will ask me to insert the "qualifying" CD/DVD  which in my case will be a Windows PS install DVD.  I do not have Windows and/or Parallels, so would the Mac be able to read/recongnize the qualifying Win Photoshop program to complete the Mac installation?

I don't know if Adobe still does cross-grades, but when I switched from Windows to Mac years ago, I was allowed to purchase full Mac versions at the upgrade price. Since the Mac software wasn't an upgrade box, it needed no previous disk or serial number to install it. Better yet, I was also allowed to keep using my Windows versions if I wanted to.
You do have to do this directly through Adobe so they can verify your legal purchases of the Windows software you're doing a cross-grade from.

  • Any issues with server 2008R2 being a backup AD when the Primary AD is a 2003 that was upgraded from NT

    Someone recently told me if a customer has a Windows 2003 server that originally came from NT which was upgraded to Windows 2000, then upgraded to 2003 as their primary AD, if you add a 2008R2 server as a backup AD, it will upgrade the forest, but there
    is an issue with the global catalog not properly replicating to the 2008R2 backup server and thus if the primary Windows 2003 server were to crash the backup 2008R2 server will not be able to authenticate users.
    Can you tell me if this is true?  It seems rather odd to me that if the 2008R2 is able to become a backup controller without any errors and does not report any AD or replication errors in the event log that it would not work if the primary AD failed.
    Thoughts?

    This is not true & never heard/seen of anything as such. The AD database either on windows 2003 or 2008 R2 contains similar objects & attributes, but few groups are only created when you transfer PDC role to windows 2008 & above DC esp if you
    are using RODC.Also, there is no concept of primary & secondary DC from windows 2000 & above. PDC & BDC concepts existed in windows NT not any more.
    The DC with GC role have bit more information because it contains partial information of the objects in other domain too. So, i would be taking backup of the windows 2008 R2 DC. As long as DLF/FFL is not enhanced you can run windows 2003 & 2008 R2 DC
    in coexistence.
    My suggestion would be transfer FSMO role on the windows 2008 R2 DC becasue may be at some point of time you would get rid of windows 2003 DC to enjoy full features of windows 2008 R2 AD.

    I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

    I am trying to download and install the iOS 7.1 software that was sent thought general on my iPad 4 th generation it keeps saying there was an error downloading it, what do I do now?

    First try resetting your iPad and then try updating again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If it still will not work, try updating using iTunes. But before you do that, disable your firewall and your antivirus software, then try the update again.

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    This work around has always worked, it may make some changes to transitions but better that than be unable to  open. 
    Export  from version 6 as a PowerPoint, choose PowerPoint 2003 in the in advanced options.
    Once you have the PowerPoint file open in Keynote.

    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Is it bad practice to capture an image that was deployed from mdt after adjustment?

    is it bad practice to capture an image that was deployed from mdt after adjustment?
    or there is no any consequences?
    "When you hit a wrong note it's the next note that makes it good or bad". Miles Davis

    During years I never captured the image deployed from mdt.
    Today was a rush.
    The request:
    to install time consuming configuration application into the image.
    I restored acronis image that used during couple of weeks for captures after small changes.
    And decided to capture it again before the installation of local progam and final capture.
    It failed after multiple trials. I posted the error yesterday here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a702bf17-8375-4bc7-b458-8ce4894f99e9/error-2147467259-during-capture?forum=mdt
    As a last tip before suggesting to deploy existing image and sysprep it 20 times I deployed the image from MDT applied just Windows KBs and captured again with MDT it worked without any prob.
    So against my usual habit I gave a deployd image for installing the tricky software and then will capture it for future deployment for 20 "special" computers. Feel not so good. But like you told:
    "Will it hurt anything?  Probably not"     I took a chance. In the image no AV, just small things like 7Z and Adobe.
    Encourage me for this case :)
    Thanks.

  • How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

    How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.
