My PC crashed. I am thinking of converting to a Mac and all of my software is PC based.
All of my Adobe software is on disk; CS5 Production Premium, CS 5 Web Premium, Lightroom 5
1) How do I convert from Windows OS to Mac OS or will I have to purchase additional software to make them compatible
2) Are updates available if I have to reinstall from disk with the Windows OS
3) What options do I have available?

You will need to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch, though even that actually doesn't make much sense. There are notable compatibility issues with OS X 10.10. all software these days are downloads.

  • Phew, Mac convert receives new MAC and all is ok

    Hi group,
    After all this reading and worry, I ordered my imac over a week ago...waited for it to be shipped from far east and it arrived today. I ordered the wireless keyboard and mouse, upgraded to 1GB RAM and upgraded my video to 256Mb.
    I reviewed my build 8G1454..and upgraded to MAC OSX 10.4.5.
    I have no sleep problems,
    No keyboard or mouse problems.....(even switch them off..turn them on and mac reconnects),
    My Frontrow is working fine with no window tearing etc,
    In fact..theres nothing wrong at all!
    Reading this forum gave me the creeps and made me so close to cancel my order before getting it....
    It looks to me like MAC are sorting out all the previous issues.
    Happy to trial any settings/setup to prove there are no problems for anybody.

    I must admit I didn't come on here to gloat...just to
    reassure alot of people who are maybe in the position
    I was until today, having being a heavy Windows user
    and deciding on making that little bit of a bigger
    purchase price and making the jump.
    As a Linux chap also, I've now got the best of both
    worlds.
    The cash is well spent and I see why converts never
    turn back.

  • 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

    Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    Running 10.10.3 // MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) // 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Exactly the same problem with me.
    Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
    What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

  • I am encountering crashes with Photoshop Elements 12.  If I uninstall and then reinstall the software, will I jeopardize the 100s of photo images I have already moved into the Organizer?  Any cautions for me

    If the app is designed correctly, the no, you won't. However, you'd have to ask the people who wrote the software, Adobe.

  • What is best DVD converter for the Mac and iPod

    Would like to convert all of my kids DVD movies to my Mac for play on AppleTV and iPods/iPads.  What is the best software for doinng this.  I am willing to pay up to $50 for the software as I would like a high quality and fast, fast, fast conversion rate.

    If you have an Apple computer, you can get a software called "Video Converter Ultimate" from the Apps store. It works well. It is available for both Windows and Mac. It is a free download.

    I converted video into frames. There is a big difference between video size(700 MB) and All frames size(More than 5 GB). What are the reasons ?

    Please, are you sure that you posted this in the correct forum? This is the Adobe Captivate forum, not a forum for video created with other applications like Premiere Pro.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • My Mac (10.5.8) has been crashing this week while using Firefox. The Firefox and Thunderbird updates are the only updates I can think of that are recent. Any ideas?

    My whole Mac has crashed a number of times both yesterday and today. This is very unusual. I'm not positive it's because of Firefox's new update, but it seemed like a good guess, and it was usually when I was on various websites (I was going through a lot of emails from news lists and clicking on links). I use Thunderbird for email, and Firefox is my browser of preference. It crashed three times so far today, over several hours, and yesterday I guess it probably crashed about 6 times -- not sure.

    Update Soundflower to the most recent version. You have an unsupported edition. http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/detail?name=Soundflower-1.6.6b.dm g&can=2&q=

  • A book file in InDesign CS3 (.indb) - Mac and PC - crashing issue

    Several months ago, I posted that when I indexed a 300-page book with lots of chapter, generating the index crashed InDesign. This happened initially on a PC running Windows XP home. When I took the book to a Macintosh, it happened also.
    One thing I had done, and I don't know if this makes a difference, is changed words that already had index tags attached to them.
    It has been several months since I've tried this - I've been waiting until this book was completely written before trying again. 
    Since this happened, I've also tried to synchronize styles and that also crashed InDesign. Before the index 'broke', both generating the index and synchronizing styles worked like perfectly - amazing functions of InDesign and makes working with a book much easier.
    Now the book is ready. I stripped all of the index codes from the entire book using search and replace, and then the first time I tried to open the Index window, it crashed again.
    When it recovered, there was a message that 5 of my 24 documents in this book may be damaged.
    So I tried opening the indb file, opening the Indexing window, THEN opening the book files and it crashed. I was able to get the error message this time: An exception unkown software exception (0xc000000d) ocurred in the application at location 0x78138aa0. Click OK to terminate the program.
    When InDesign came back up, I closed the Index window and was able to open all of the book's files with no problem.
    My questions are:
    1 - Is there any way to find out where/how those files are damaged?
    2 - Does anyone know what may cause an Index generation or style synchronization to crash InDesign - and then not fix the problem?
    3 - Could this be something other than the index, and how do I figure out what it might be?
    This book is now 374 pages in 24 documents, and I don't think there is a way to go backwards in the InDesign process at this point.
    I'm not sure how clear I'm being with all of this, but the book is to go to the printer Monday and I can't index it.
    I'd appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks so much,
    Marcy

    Just to add to Eugene's recommendation. Q2ID is worth every last dime of the $200 it cost.
    I just upgraded to the latest version when I received 25 Quark files to convert for an iPad app. Even for early Quark files that InDesign can open, it does a better job.
    BTW, it's also worth noting here that Adobe cannot legally have InDesign open anything later than Quark 4.x files due to the encryption used in Quark 5 and later files. Quark is too dependent on Markzware for XTensions to go after them.

  • FCP 7 crashing...App then Finder then Force eject and Reboot ;(

    Few questions...so I'm working with FInal Cut Pro 7 on my MacBook Pro (2.66Ghz i7, 4GB Ram - OS 10.6.3). Making sure all other apps are off, Final Cut if lucky may continue working for 30min or so but typically crashes every 15-20min. As annoying as this is, I have to get some projects done and have had to force reboot every time (Finder eventually doesn't respond anymore as well as all other apps). But when trying to eject my external HD (G-Tech Drive) - I've had to force eject EVERY TIME. I don't know how safe this is for my hard drive and am getting kinda scared because most of my important data is on this drive and I have run out of hard drives to back them up on. I've searched high and low on the internet searches and forums and have yet to come to a solid fix.
    Any ideas???
    -Why does FCP7 keep crashing every 20min...? (yes I have re-converted all of my H.264 footage to ProRes422)
    -If I have to live with it, why does it crash my finder forcing me to force eject my external hard drive every time?
    -And is it safe to force eject your hard drive every time (this could equal over 10x/day!)???
    Thank You and a MILLION MORE Thank You's if you can solve my problem... ...

    Well I finally decided to back up the important files to an old external since I had to force eject so many times. And FCP started working magically. It still crashes say every hour or so but I will take that over every 15min.
    I think I'm going to run through all of those troubleshooting steps still to hopefully make my workflow faster because it's still pretty slow. 50min to render a 4min video clip sounds pretty absurd to me? Sorry I'm an sound engineer and slowly getting into video so I'm sure a lot of it is me just not knowing that there is a better way to do this or that.
    Thank you guys so much for all of your help!

  • When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

    I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.  
    So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so.   I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines.  My already
    deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem.  In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine.  When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
    new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel.  All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
    Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem.  I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet.  It does say PKI for client certificate.  Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
    Client certificate.  In my production environment it says self-signed.  I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
    Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it.  I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
    You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
    How To: Build and Capture in Configuration Manager 2012 using HTTPS
    And in addition, you can upload the log to your onedrive so you can share with us.

    Please help me out in creating an object from it.
    Thanks,
    Hiranmayee

    It's one of those things you usually start from the other end.
    IE with a class and then serialise / deserialize to xml.
    Because you have a namespace in there:
    <settings version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.counterpath.com/cps">
    I think you will find linq to xml will have issues with that.
    You could still use xpath to pick data out of there and there's been a thread on the c# forum recently which is relevent:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/2dc0581e-f2fd-4fd3-89ee-e59280c398e6/read-xml?forum=csharpgeneral
    Why do you want to turn that into an object?
    By the way.
    This isn't a wpf question and you should probably have posted it on the c# forum.
    Hope that helps.

    Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.
    To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report.

    I was having the same problem.... But I keep forgetting that when you upgrade firefox... or it updates automatically... you need to right click on the firefox start up icon, go into properties, click on the compatibilities tab, and put a check in the "Run This Program As An Administrator" box, then hit apply. Start Firefox, and it should work OK. Problem is...each time you upgrade firefox and/or I think Adobe flash... you need to make sure that box is checked. This is on Firefox 15.0.1 with Adobe Flash 11.4.402.278 all up to date, Windows 7 64bit. If Firefox has Adobe flash add-on, it needs to run in admin mode or it will crash.

    I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.  This is for a Christmas present!  Help.

    I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
    I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.
