Mac or standard or upgrade version?

Hi,
I am looking at buying Adobe photoshop and premiere elements software, but I'm confused by the term standard or upgrade version.
I have a mac so should I just buy the mac version?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, Thanks for the answer. I understand that upgrade usually means changes to already purchased software, and is therfore less expensive.
However the Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements upgrade is more expensive than the other versions so I thought there may be more features/tools or whatever?
I'll go for the Mac version.
Thanks again.

  • I can't uninstall Firefox version 11 from my MAC, nor can I upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox.

    I believe that I have a corrupted version of Firefox. I have followed the procedures both for removal and for upgrade that are posted in the support forums, and neither are effective for me.
    I do not have a conventional Firefox icon on my screen, rather I have a grey question mark. When I attempt to deposit that question mark icon in my wastebasket, it just bounces back out.
    When I have tried to upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox (and I've been trying to upgrade with each new iteration of Firefox from version 12 to the current version 32), I receive an error message that I can run only one version of Firefox, and the upgraded version is rejected in favor of version 11.
    Additionally, Firefox version 11 blocks me from adding any other programs onto my Mac. I want to get rid of version 11. How can I do it?

    Dear ideato--Thank you for your suggestion. While I was able to drag a shadow of the Firefox icon from the applications folder to the dock and drop it into the wastebasket, the icon remains in the applications folder and Firefox version 11 is still on my computer blocking every attempt to add a program or to upgrade to the current version of Firefox. The question mark is still on the dock, too. Regards--DavidK126

    Go to the Purchases tab in App Store and click on the Mountain Lion download. See if there is a Resume option.
    There also might be an icon in the Dock where you can try the same.
    I can't remember from Snow Leopard what it shows when you are downloading.

  • Can I install Windows 7 upgrade version with Bootcamp on my MAC Book Pro?

    I currently don't have Windows on my Mac book Pro.  I am trying to avoid the high cost of the full version.   My friend said they knew someone who was able to use the upgradable version to install it on their PC using bootcamp.
    Also is Parallell really worth the extra cost?  I will be primary working on my OS OPsystem and only need windows for a few specific things.

    Have you actually tried to install an upgrade version of Windows 7 without a previous version of Windows installed ?
    FYI: Google "Windows 7 upgrade double install".  This was primarily to do clean installs of Windows Vista using the upgrade product keys, but it still works with Windows 7.  I use this technique for cases where the owner upgraded to Win7, but didn't make the recovery disks of XP when they originally got the computer (and the computer didn't come with recovery disks,) then the HD fails and so we have to install Windows 7 from scratch to a new HD using the upgrade product keys without any previous copy of Windows.

    When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
    You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.  
    Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

  • I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

  • Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks

    Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks in advance!

    Whether you need to buy Mac OS X 10.7.3 depends on what version of OS X you have now.
    If you have OS X 10.6.x or lower it is a paid upgrade from the Mac AppStore.
    If you have OS X 10.7.x it is a free upgrade you get using Software Update on your Mac.

  • Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5

    Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5

    Are you wanting to upgrade TO 10.8.5 or FROM 10.8.5? If you have 10.8.5 on your Mac you can do the free upgrade to Yosemite which is 10.10.1 as long as your computer supports that version of OS X.
    Start at this Apple site to determine if your MAC will run 10.10.1

  • I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

    I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

    Yes.
    Unlike most of Adobe's perpetually licensed software, the Lightroom serial number is multi-platform: works on Mac and/or Windows. You just need the correct installer for the platform (.dmg for Mac or .exe for Win).
    If you own any previous version of Lightroom then you can buy the upgrade to LR5.

  • Can my mac which has a software version of 10.5.8 upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion 10.6.8?

    can my mac which has a software version of 10.5.8 upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion 10.6.8?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Trouble installing Acrobat X Upgrade Version using Acrobat 7 standard

    Hi forum,
    some years ago I bought a Acrobat X Upgrade-Version for upgradeing my Version 7 standard. No problems installing that software that time.
    Now I bought a new notebook and wish to install the software again on this new machine.
    I installed the version X, using the key from the CD. Starting the program, I have to type in te key again. The software accepts the key, but wants to know the key of version 7. No problem, I thought, typing the version 7 key in the following field.
    But now the software says that ist a wrong key?!?
    So I can´t aktivate the software... :-(
    Installing version 7 first and then version X causes the same problem.
    Any help? What can I do?
    Thank you very much in advance!

  • Installing CS4 Design Standard, upgrade version

    Hi everyone, I have a question about the installation process of (the upgrade version of) CS4 Design Standard; the operating system of my PC is Windows XP Pro (SP3), as up-to-date as possible ;)
    The version of CS I'm currently using is CS2 Premium.
    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but am I right in assuming I can install CS4 without removing (or hampering!) my current installation?
    (If this is indeed true, I would be rather pleased. I need the new Camera Raw (as the upcoming EOS 5D Mk II isn't supported by version 4.x), but I'm currently working on a large project involving Photoshop & Illustrator -- and I *definitely* do not want to change versions half-way through.)
    One thing worries me the most -- what about Acrobat? CS2 came with version 7, but I have read that Acrobat isn't as well-behaved as the 'proper' CS products.
    All help is highly appreciated.

    Just install it. CS2 won't be touched but you'll be prompted to allow
    the installer to uninstall Acrobat 7.
