I went to the "genius" bar today and did a Restore on a MAC at the store but it still does not work. Archive & Install may be my only option. Post back if you are able to fix yours.
Cheers

    BTW the platform swap is for current version of Adobe software only, if you have older version then you may have to look for Cross-platform upgrade.

    Hi Dcee3,
    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

    i accidentally bought elements for windows.. i have a mac, what do i do

    You need to contact Adobe Customer Service:
    <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html>
    Explain your situation and they will help you out.  What they normally do is check whether you have already installed and activated the product.  If it is not installed at all and/or activated, they deactivate the serial number and issue a new one and a download link for the MAC version.
    Hope this helps.

  • I cannot update my Add-Ins. I always got the error: Unexpected installation error -203 when installing add-ons. I found a workaround for Windows but I have MacOS. Can you help me?

    System MacOS 10.6.6

    They are also for the Mac. If the first link that cor-el posted is showing information for Windows, in the right hand column underneath where it says "Help with", select Mac OS X and Firefox 3.5-3.6

  • License for windows but I switched to mac

    Hello, in december 2012 I bought Acrobat XI pro, Photoshop elements and Photoshop Lightroom all for windows. I now bought a MacBook Pro to replace my pc that is having huge troubles. I know that I can uninstall the suite to install it again to a new pc, but I do not know how it works when the new machine is a Mac. Thak you in advance for your help.

    Dear Member,
    thank you for your helpful answer. I tried and tried to reach Adobe but there is ono way to do so. No phone number, e-mail adress or chat available. In fact it is impossible to obtain any support from Adobe (for Acrobat).
    Could you kindly give me a hint on how to proceed?
    Thank you in advance

  • I have Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for Windows, but I need the Mac versions of these. Is it possible to swap or exchange these products?

    Does Adobe allow exchanging my Windows version of CS6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for the Mac version? (The CS5.5 box is unopened, and the CS6 is in mint condition.)

    You might be able to do something for the CS6 product, but as far as the CS5.5 application goes it will not qualify.  See the following:

  • Ipod reads in windows but not on a mac

    my mac cant read any windows formatted ipods (which unfortunatly happens to be all of the ones i own).
    it is not read in finder, or itunes. but it works perfectly fine on a windows computer. I have used it before on a mac, and it worked great, but my logic bored fried and i just reinstalled os X 10.4.10
    any ideas?
    thank you

    I see what you mean about your text being screwy. This is one of those situations where you would actually prefer than iWeb convert your text to image. Perhaps you are indeed using a "web-safe" font, but that font must actually be slightly different on Mac vs. PC platforms. Maybe try a different size for your font....maybe one size up? Try to use one of the natural sizes...they seem to go in even numbers.
    If all else fails, you can apply a drop shadow to your text or something and let iWeb convert it to a graphic. Might make your site load slower, though.
