Is it possible to swap from CS4 windows to CC mac???

I have a CS4 Mastercollection Studentversion for Windows now I want to swap to Mac. Can i use my serial number to download CC on a mac and do I get the option to download the special CC offer for CS owner?? Cheers

Hi jendawg85,
Platform Swap is only applicable for latest version of Adobe and everything is on cloud now, CS4 is not supported anymore, Adobe is not providing any physical media or any Serial numbers for any old applications.
I am sorry but you cannot use the CS4 on MAC if you have purchased it for Windows.
Creative Cloud applications do not need any serial number, they work with the Adobe ID. If you want to move to cloud and use Creative cloud applications, you can get it for a upgraded price. You can have a look to these links.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

    Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?  I have not found the option to do so.

    My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...).  I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource.  Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800.  Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people.  In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza.  Not a bad deal.  If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months.  For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
    What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
    As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced.  I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner.  Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications.  I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision.  If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers.  But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time.  What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade.  NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month.  These Germans tend to hold grudges.

    So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
    CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
    Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
    The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

  • How do I change my iPod Touch from a Windows to a Mac?

    I recently bought a Mac, to replace my PC.  I have a 2nd generation iPod running the latest (4.3.3 I think).  I have transfered all my files from my Windows to my Mac through USB, and all the files are also sitting on my Mac.  However, when I insert my iPod to the Mac, it can't sync apps without erasing the data on my iPod.  How do I do it without erasing it?  I have it backed up on my Mac and PC.  I also have a brother with a 4th generation iPod.  I assume the soliution would be the same?  THanks!!

    Sorry didn't mean to make this the correct answer
    What do you mean?  This is what I get:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPod “Connor’s iPod Touch” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."

  • I shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • How can i copy my data files from a windows backup to mac mini

    I recently purchased a mac mini and waiting on its arrival.  I am converting from WinXP and my current system is not working at the moment (started smelling smoke one day and the video hasn't displayed since from the PC - so its been shut down).  I can easily fix whatever the issue is with the PC - however - my question is.  I perform periodic backup of my data files to an external drive with Windows Backup, can I restore my files from the Windows Backup to the Mac Mini?  If I don't have to fix the PC - I can save that cost and buy an CD drive for the Mini (or something else).
    I haven't investigated the real problem on the PC - I just know its hardware related (not OS).
    My last backup was atleast 1 month ago - so I know I might lose a couple of things....but not very much.  If its "simplier" for the migration process to fix the PC - then that is the answer but if I can extract from the external 1TB Seagate.  I think I only have 50GB of data (itunes / pictures / etc)
    Thanks

  • HT1408 I have just purchased a mac book pro.  I've linked this to my windows pc to transfer the data from my windows to my mac using the migration assistant.  The serial code comes up on both computers but having commenced transfer it then stops!  why?

    I have tried to transfer data from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable.  The function starts to download and then aftera  while it stops unexpectedly and both computers say they are "trying to reconnect">  This transfer  has failed on three attempts so far. What am I doing wrong?  Help please.   I am simlply tyring to transfer my itunes library and photos to the new Mac.

    Forget Migration Assistant. Just copy the files you want to transfer to an External drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them over to the Mac. Does matter what the external drive format is as OS X can read from NTFS, Windows, formatted drives.

  • Downloading from a windows to a mac

I'm not to sure how this works in this case or if i have to re-buy my adobe programs but any help is appreciated, Thank you. I also have with me the serial number and box if need be.

    serial numbers for master suites are platform specific.  ie, you either have a window or a mac serial number.

  • How to move documents, favorites, and downloads from a windows to a mac?

    I have some of these things in a USB but when I try to move them to where I think they are supposed to be they are not the same like with documents it just tells me it came from a Hewlett Packard and when the last time I used it was, favorites doesn't even have a place in my Mac,  and downloads also doesn't have a place in my Mac. Also some of the files are lnk files so it would be nice to know how to fix that.

  • Possible to change from CS3 Windows to Mac?

    I bought an imac recently, it has CS3 Master collection pre-installed (updatable and working as it should), it's just that it's the windows version and I'm running it through Parallels 3. Would it be possible that Adobe would allow me to change the version to a Mac version??? so i can run it from Leopard??
    I have contacted technical support about this 4 days ago, but are yet to reply.
    Thanks
    Adam.

    adam,
    I read their eBay Web page.
    >The software will come with a burnt copy of the disc as we have to keep the originals for future installations. These discs are provided with a serial code so you can re-install a new copy on that machine should the need arise.
    I'll be polite. These guys are out-and-out pirates -- they're actually admitting it! NO legitimate dealer does this B.S. story. If a legitimate dealer sells you or bundles software and installs it for you, they always give you the ORIGINAL factory disks, manuals or quick-start guides, serial numbers, and registration paperwork for you to file.
    Plain and simple, you were ripped off. No telling how many other unsuspecting folks (most likely Windows users) were robbed as well.
    My recommendation: Please report them immediately to eBay, to Adobe ([email protected]), and law enforcement in their UK jurisdiction. If they have a business license, they should have it revoked. And, by the way, be sure to get your money back.
    I'm telling you, if you call Adobe for the crossgrade, you're likely to be very unhappy with their response.
    The lesson here is: if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

  • Possible to email from finder window?

    I know this should be simple but, how can I drag and drop a file from finder to email it instead of composing a new mail message and then navigating to the file?

    Chances are that this and the problem described in your other thread are related. If the problems persist after doing what I’ve suggested there, look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.
    <hr>
    You may also try the following to check whether the problem is system-wide. Beware, however, that setting up the same Gmail account in multiple user accounts would cause messages downloaded while logged in as one user to not be available for download while logged in as the other, regardless of the Remove copy from server settings:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
    4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
    6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
