Moving Windows CS2 to a Mac

I bought CS2 for Windows 18 months ago, but I've just bought a Mac and want to move my CS2 license from Windows to MacOS.
What are my options?
I've heard that I **might** be able to move the license to Mac IF I upgrade to CS3. My main priority is to get something working ASAP.
I also have Macromedia Studio MX and Studio 4 for Windows and I want get equivalents on Mac too.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

> I know it's not optimised, but it should still be faster than Windows. Right?
You'll have two things going against you, Leopard and rosetta. Hopefully
Apple will get around to fixing Leopard sooner rather than later.
As far as speed, that isn't an operating system thing, it's a hardware
thing.
I have no problems running all of the CS3 apps under Vista Ultimate 64.
It's screaming fast and rock solid but it's not an el cheapo $299 PC.
I'm looking forward to CS4 which will feature a native 64 bit version of
Photoshop for Vista only.

Moving windows quick books to Mac quick books

Can I transfer data from quick books pro windows to quick books for Mac?

You should post this question on the Quicken Quickbooks for Mac forum. You are posting to a Mac notebook hardware forum.

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
Problem:
Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
Thank you very much in advance!
-Alex

This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

Moving photoshop elements 12 and lightroom 5 from windows machine to a Mac Pro

Is it possible to transfer licence from the windows machine to the mac?
The Lightroom version does appear to be a windows/mac version but the serial number won't activate the product.
The Photoshop Elements was actually a windows version so perhaps that is more excusable.
But is one really expected to either buy this software again or just forget about them all together?

For Lightroom and Elements your license covers both Mac and Windows. You do need to install the appropriate version in each case however. I Windows version will not work on a Mac, and vice versa.

Moving Contacts from Windows XP Outlook to Mac Leopard Entourage

Is this possible? Can you provide directions? I have Bootcamp if it helps. Thanks.

Latan:
There is a way of importing contacts from Windows XP Outlook to Mac Leopard Entourage and that is by saving a file in a Text - comma separated values and then importing into Entourage.
Here is how:
1. Open Outlook in Windows
2. Click on File and then *Import and Export*
3. Choose *Export to a file* and hit Next
4. Choose *Comma Separated Values (Windows)* and hit Next
5. Then highlight Contacts and hit Next
6. Choose a filename and a place to save the exported file and hit Next
7. Confirm with a check mark next to *Export "Contacts" from folder: Contacts* and hit Finish
The above will have generated a file with the exported contacts from Outlook. Remember its name and location on the HD.
1. Open Entourage in Leopard
2. Go to File and choose Import
3. Place a check mark on *Contacts or Messages from a text file* and click the *Right Arrow* at the bottom right of the window.
4. Place a check mark on *Import contacts from a tab- or comma-delimited text file* and click on the *Right Arrow* at the bottom right of the window.
5. Locate the file that you created above and highlight it in the next window. Once done then hit Import
That should bring in all the contacts into Entourage.
The above instructions are for importing outlook contacts into Entourage (Office 2008 for Mac). If you have any other version then it should still work however the menu choices may be slightly different.

Folders created in Windows not deleting on Mac

Hello,
I recently moved all my windows data to the Mac. After reorganising, when I tried to delete few folder, they are not getting deleted.
I tried dragging them to the TRASH, they are just lying down there and getting deleted even when I try the SECURE DELETE option in Mac.
How do I delete these folders/data.
Ajay.

Try a re-boot.
If that does not work, try:
Force the Trash to empty using the Option key:
This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty.
Perform the following steps in the order specified:
Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

Why is my Illustrator CS2 v12.0 MAC suddenly freezing during initialization?

I've been using Illustrator CS2 v12.0 MAC on my Mac running on OSX v10.4.11 daily for years. I stopped using Illustrator for a few months, and when I went to use it again, it won't open; it hangs up during initialization. (The initialization window reads "Initializing...", then "Reading fonts...", then "Initializing..." again, and stays there forever.) I realize my version of Illustrator is out of date, but I didn't think it could just die of old age. Can anybody help?

I have PhotoShop Elements 4.0, and, yes, it opens and runs just fine.
No, I haven't installed any new fonts since I last opened
Illustrator. I suppose a corrupt font is possible, but I really doubt
it -- mainly because of the following: I know this is about
Illustrator, but I think it's important to mention that, at the same
time, I stopped using InDesign, and when I went to use it again, it
asks me for my serial number, and then tells me that the number I
provided is not valid (as I said, I've I've been using it daily for
years. I think it's important because this notice is in the InDesign
forum section: "Attention Mac Users: The recent Acrobat 8.2 update is
causing problems for many users of InDesign and Illustrator. If you
suddenly have problems starting InDesign, please see this KB article:
InDesign and Illustrator CS or CS2 fail to launch after applying the
Mac OS X Acrobat update." The same notice is in the Illustrator forum
section. That article it references describes exactly the same
behavior for both apps as I've been seeing. But I don't have Acrobat.
I feel sure that these problems started with an Adobe Reader update.
But I have no idea how to fix it; Adobe doesn't mention Reader. I
found a complete download of Reader 9.2, and so I replaced my Reader
9.3.3 with it, hoping that v9.2 wouldn't have whatever the problem
is. No such luck. (Sorry about not noticing the beard. I never said I
was alert.)

Windows Library transfer to Mac

I have an old Viao with a large iTuns library. How do I transfer this data to my new MacBook?

Are all of your songs on your iPod purchased music from the iTunes store? Because as far as I know only purchased music can be transfered from your iPod to your iTunes, and that is only with iTunes 7.
When i moved my windows music to my mac a few months ago i Used this
Senuti - Mac Only
http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/
It has very good instructions, worked well for me. Took my music off my ipod and onto my mac, then I was able to import it into my library.

I moved several folders from my Mac to iCloud and I cannot easily find them. Is there an easier way to find them instead of searching in Spotlight?

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

Moving windows without the use of a mouse

Is it possible to move windows around the screen without using a mouse? I mostly use keyboard shortcuts to navigate around, but if a new window opens on top of a previous one and I need to be able to view both, I find myself reaching for the mouse. Is there an alernative?
Thanks in advance!

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {55, 278, 837, 696}
end tell
You can use the Command+Tab shortcut to navigate to the Script Editor and Command+R to run the script. The four numbers refer to the corners of the window, with the first pair being the location of the upper left corner and the second pair the lower right. Many applications use the same syntax for moving windows.

Moving files from pc to mac - directory structure gets all messed up - help

Hi, I just got my new Mac Book Pro (mid-2009) and I am having trouble bringing over my 70gb of data from my old pc. I am using VM Fusion and have also downloaded NTFS-3G. I cloned my PC HD onto an external USB HD (formatted with NTFS) and have plugged it into the Mac. I can mount the drive, read and write files from the drive, but when trying to copy files, it would start, but would not finish the job (threw an error after 50mb saying something about trouble copying a file and then froze). I called apple and they said try to do the copying through Fusion. I have one large Mac partition, no Windows partitions on my Mac drive and am running Fusion with XP Pro. I tested the copy function in Windows from my external HD to the "documents" directory in my Mac directory under my user node and small directories (.1 - 2gb) copied fine. But when I tried to copy a 20gb node, it started putting subfolders in random places within the tree structure under the root node I was copying. With 92,000 files, its hard to go re-sort the sub-folders into the right places. Why is it doing this and is there a better way? I'm leaving for 2 wk trip tomorrow and don't want to have to lug my PC with me. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks very much. Larry

You are not in a MacBook forum.
And I would use Boot Camp to set aside a Windows partition and install Windows natively.
Fusion can run Windows on the Boot Camp partition just fine.
MacFuse + 3G? or there is Paragon NTFS 7 for Mac OS X. Sometimes free is fine, sometimes commercial product. And Snow Leopard may have ability to read HFS+ from Windows (like MacDrive7/8 only that can write to HFS+ also).
Corrupt directory?
Bad filenames?
Filenames that are valid for Mac Extended may not be valid on NTFS, but haven't heard of the reverse being a problem.

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.
