Mac/Win upgrade?

Can someone please tell me how the Mac/Win upgrade works? Can I install one copy on a Mac and one on Windows with the same $299 license? If so, would one get one serial number that works on both platforms? I heard that you get two seats. If I install one on a Mac and the other on the same Mac with bootcamp for WIndows, does that use up my twp seats or does that just count as one since its on the same computer and can not be used by two people?

Cheers
My Mac arrived yesterday, so I put the DVD in (it's a download only version, rather than a shipped box) and there didn't seem to be a Mac installer. In sheer naiveity even tried running setup.exe (!) but no joy.
Other info I've read since does seem to imply that this rep was wrong. Does anyone else know more about the process, or, if the rep was right, how I go about installing from that DVD?
Cheers - Mac noob...

Windows Vista Machine Can No Longer Connect to Mac Following Upgrade

Before: Windows Vista machine with 6 drive letters mapped to the 6 hard drives in my Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
After: Mac Pro upgraded to 10.6. Now the Vista machine cannot connect to any of the drive letters, nor can it open the Mac Pro by browsing -- the Mac Pro shows up, but cannot be opened. A second Windows machine also cannot open any shares on the Mac Pro.
I have checked all of the settings in Network on the Mac Pro and they look fine. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

URGENT HELP: Need to reformat an external hard drive for Mac/Win!

We got a Desk Hammer external hard drive and my hubby chose to format it as Mac Only when it first initialized. We needed it to be formatted for Mac/Win usage. Now we cannot figure otu how to reinitialize and reformat it. It's been years since I messed with his Mac. Help--right now we just have a big old doorstop instead of a hard drive! BTW Desk Hammer is no help with support (I guess that's why they were on sale); their website isn't even complete!

Use the Disk Utility application found in /Applications/Utilities to format the Drive as MS-DOS File System. This will be readable by both Mac and Windows platforms.
Hope this helps! bill

Hello, can't get my mac to upgrade to latest versions of quicktime, itunes or any other os

The latest OS that you can run is 10.5.8. That is as far as Power Mac machines can go.
The latest Quicktime, iTunes, etc., must be both OS X 10.5.8 AND Power Mac (PPC) compatible.
This is the last OS update for your machine:

iTunes 10.6.3 requires OS X 10.5.8 and is the last update for iTunes on a PPC machine:

Flash CS3 Mac/Win Projector Publishing - Using older version of Flash

Hi,
How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)!
One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?
This is what I have on my first frame (using AS2), is any of this suspect to older versions of Flash? :
<code as2>
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
fscommand("allowscale", false);
        trace("This is a " + System.capabilities.os + " system.");
var os:String = System.capabilities.os.substr(0, 3);
        if (os == "Win") {
          trace("Windows-specific code goes here");
        } else if (os == "Mac") {
          trace("Mac-specific code goes here");
        } else {
          trace("Must be Unix or Linux");
var videoStartNumber:Number =0;
var originalMenu:Number = 1;
_root.menu1_1.onRelease = function() {videoStartNumber = 1; gotoAndPlay(5);}
_root.menu1_2.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 3; gotoAndPlay(3);}
_root.menu1_3.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 4; gotoAndPlay(4);}
_root.menu1_4.onRelease = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);}
_root.exitButton.onRelease = function() {fscommand("quit");}
stop();
</code as2>
But even if something on this project wouldn't work on an older version than 9.0.115.0 then it shouldn't matter as the Projector will always use the embedded Flash player, not the player installed on the computer, right?
Really would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
PJ

Please, can someone help me?
Our client is getting frustrated and I'm out of ideas as to what's wrong with the Projector executable! Why would it give white screen on launch on some systems and not on others?
Sincerely,
PJ Palomaki

Mac/Win market share confirmation straight from the horse's mouth

From a response by Photoshop Principal Program Manager John Nack to someone's post on his blog:
"Last time I checked, Creative Suite sales were roughly 50/50 Mac/Win."
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/02/optional_plugin.html

I was a Windows user for 15 years. I not only designed the computers to market, I was a Network Admin and consultant. Now I use a Mac.
Funny. I see these stupid threads by the same few folks who can't help but push their macs. And the one or two who tote Windows.
Both systems have their set of problems. But really, who cares what market shares are PC vs Mac with regards to Adobe. Big deal.
Windows has so many more vendors and software programmers to deal with they finally had to coral it in with Vista, their first attempt. Signed drivers. Macs failed with clones. Life happens.
The Mac in not superior and saying it is doesn't make you any more superior either but damn y'all sure seem to think so.
What a joke.
b You keep up the we versus them - mac vs ps all you want. It does not get anyone anywhere. Solving common issues that effect both side is much more valuable.
Maybe it makes you feel good to spout your love for one or the other. But Adobe has pretty well tried to get their products to run the same no matter which OS you choose. Adobe seems to understand Macs aren't the only OS choice to run their products. They realize PCs make a huge part of the market. Quibble over 50 percent or 60 percent or what ever you want... the Macs just don't have to support the thousands of titles that PCs do.
At least PCs know how to display web images with sRGB much better. In fact, amazing how a designer still needs to design for PCs ever more so than macs. Because of the sheer numbers of PCs versus Macs. I still read and hear all the time, you design for PCs first and foremost and then try to cross over to macs. Cross browser ring a bell guys. But I guess those here would find that as the PCs are trying to have a superior attitude. NO. They just realize the number of end users. But I guess the same 4-5 mac people here will still have something to say about that statement. How PC users feel their systems are the best or run Adobe products better and were ready for 64 bit first. Whooppiieeeeeee. God, what you guys stoop to for something to write about.
Hey, sorry but I get so tired of these threads let's just call them out on it....

What other enlightenment can you fill us with? Mac vs PC. God, give it a rest...
Leopard was rushed out the door. So was Vista. Smart PC users may be still on XP, Mark because they didn't like Vista just like a lot of people don't like Leopard. WOW. Amazing. The consumer is the main beta tester now for just about any of it. Ramon, you on Leopard yet? CS4? Anything new and up to date?
So where are with with Snow Leopard? The perfect OS? Who knows.
And Ann. Bringing up the fact that our PC friendly guy here is not CS4, well... a lot of those with opinions of Macs aren't. Is Ramon? I know you stay up to date Ann but maybe our PC guys can read the other forums just fine and go from there. Like some do here. Hum....
I just wanted to walk all over this thread. Say my rants and raves. Call people out on their superior attitude of crap. Go kneel to your John Nack and by all means, keep reading his blog and keep us posted. I doubt John want to really hear all of this either.
This was a whole waste of space and so you know, let's see how long I can type and waste even more. Let's just keep talking and trashing everything I can and see if I can't kill this thread.
Heck - maybe I should take a different tact and try to get it locked down and closed. May be I should try to get the moderators to do their job and stop this from going too far.
Just the same old same old. The same usual suspects screaming the same old lines. Ramon, really - was this addressed to us who use macs in the mac forums or to PC users who also keep up with Macs and happen by?
You know, even trying to kill this thread by ranting now isn't that much fun. Because I think every one but Ann and Ramon and Mark and Buko are tired of the MAC is better than PC routine. JJ, let them say what ever they want. You think anyone is really going to read it? Or read this?
I stayed up too late tonight and have sleep deprivation. I doubt I will remember typing this. I will remember listing the same 4 names we can list all too often and the same people that opinionate the loudest here.
b It is a shame though. If they would stay off these topics and stay with being helpful without having to cry superior this or sucky that... they would actually be great to keep around.
But they just can't help themselves. They will be the first to fire off at you should you disagree with them. They are the one's who are always right and never wrong.
Anyway, guess I did what I wanted... to try to blow steam, vent, release frustrations or what ever... and in all hopes - I hope I wrote long enough that this thread will just die and go away.
Tell you what, let's copy and past the whole thing twice to really make one have to scroll down to post anything new...

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

Good Question.
I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
meantime...
And the lesson is [

Any Mac introduced before Lion was released can run Snow Leopard, including the mid-2001 iMacs. So you can still get a current-generation Mac that runs Rosetta & use AppleWorks.
That's actually not true. Snow Leopard will only run on Intel Macs. The situation is this :
Any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard OR EARLIER will be able to run AW - Lion is the first OS that can't.
PPC Macs will run as far as Leopard 10.5.8 - they should have 1GB RAM minimum, but can run with less RAM for Tiger. They will all run AppleWorks.
All but the latest Intel Macs will run Snow Leopard and therefore Rosetta and therefore AW too.
However, current iMacs that come with Lion preinstalled can have 10.6 installed on a separate partition (must be 10.6.6 or later), to run Rosetta.
The current generation of MacBooks, and Air, cannot have 10.6 installed and therefore cannot run AW.
I don't know what the situation is with the latest Mac Pros.

Installing a Mac version upgraded from Win

I just purchased a Mac after 20 years plus on a PC/Win. I have PS CS4 Ext for Win and could upgrade that to CS5 Ext for Mac. However, I will be asked to insert the qualifying CD/DVD for the upgrade. Since I do not have Windows or Parallels installed on my new Mac, will the Mac read/recognize the qualifying Windows CD/DVD in order for me to complete the installation of the Mac upgraded CS5?
I am not able to get a hold of anyone at Adobe today

Josephusholt wrote:

No, absolutely not.
What's more, the Windows serial number will be invalid to cross over to a Mac upgrade. You'll need a special serial number, rather than just buying a Mac upgrade. Call Adobe customer service in order to request a "cross-grade", which involves surrendering the Windows license altogether and destroying the Windows version.
You will no longer be able to use the Windows copy, ever.

Transfer CS3 from Win to Mac - no upgrade?? really??

Hi
I've just had a chat with an adobe Rep, and I'm 95% sure that what they told me is wrong (cos it sounds too good to be true!) so thought I'd ask if anyone can verify it....
I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows. I have a Mac on the way, and want to switch.
I was under the impression I'd have to pay to updgrade to CS4, and then switch. But what I was told was that:
- I send in the letter of destruction and they'll email when effective
- Apart from that, I just put my install CD in the mac (it works on both) and use my current serial number.
So - no need to upgrade, no cost, no new media - just email over a copy of the letter of destruction.
I've attached a copy of the transcript if anyone's interested.
Can anyone verify this?
Thanks
Kieran

Late 2012 Mac mini upgrade ssd - also install parallels 8 and windows 7

Late 2012 Mac mini (16gb memory) SSD install - samsung 840 pro 512 gb. I am looking to install this new SSD as possibly a dual drive setup almong with the stock HDD 500gb in order to: make the system faster (with more storage etc.), possibly use the stock drive as a backup drive and I also want to run parallels 8 with windows 7.
I have ordered the data doubler kit from Owc and am wondering exactly how to setup properly. Can I simply install new drive in the upper bay (and move stock drive to lower bay)? Then migrate the data from the stock drive then after that's complete run the setup for parallels? I am also confused as far as using trim enabler or not? I was also wondering how much space/memory is recommended for windows 7 partition?
-Thanks in advance for your suggestions

NOTE: A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left-edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, you may proceed using the standard installation instructions. If you see "Upper" then you have a special configuration which will need additional components, and you will need to also refer to the Addendum video.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/
Some users have reported problems with an SSD being the boot drive in the upper bay. They have not reported problems with a HD boot from either bay To avoid the problem I would move the HD (if it is in the lower bay) to the upper bay and install the SSD in the lower bay.
I allocated 64 GB for Win 7 in Parallels abd 4 GB Of 16 installed). You can change them later after you install so it is not that importent what you specify initially.
For TRIM see:

How can I get my back up on my mac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hey everyone!
Before upgrading to Yosemite I made a Time Machine back up on a external hard disk.
After the upgrade to Yosemite was done I started with the setting-screen like anyone else would. When the Migration Assistant-screen came up I selected my external hard disk with my time-machine back up on it. Unfortunately Migration Assistant wasn't able to put the back up on the computer because apparently there was not enough space.
23gb to less or something. So I deselected a few maps in order to get under that amount and tried again. Nothing happened and the same message: not enough space.
So now I am stuck with a empty mac without any of my previous documents, music, etc.. What should I do? Should I fully format my mac?
FYI: my mac consists out of an 80 GB Solid State SATA Drive and a 128 GB Solid State SATA Drive.
The back-up my time machine made on my 1TB external hard disk is 131,5 GB big.
HELP ME PLEASE! WHAT TO DO!
