Need help activating photoshop cs5 on second machine (mac)

Hello i have adobe photoshop cs5 on my windows desktop and had installed it today on my laptop which would be my second machine, i download and get to the serial number part which i referred back to a email that activated it and put that in. Each time i try to put it in i get a message saying "that code is not valid for this product" now i noticed it said cs5.1 is that any different then just cs5?
Any help is much appreciated.

No such thing. You simply cannot use Windows serials on Mac and vice versa. Serials are platform specific. If you want to run your softwware on your Mac, you need to use Bootcamp or run an emulation environment like Paralles Desktop.

    I have reports of 10.10.1 (Yosemite) having this same issue. I looked through the crash log and found this important clue:
    1/1/15 5:58:40.784 PM Adobe Photoshop CS5[883]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.1 instead of 10.10.1. Use NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number.
    Call location:
    Important Notes:
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 uses the Gestalt Selector to determine which version of operating system you are using which results in the message above.
    Apple deprecated (removed) support for Gestalt Selector in system 10.8 and now uses NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property instead.
    Click here to access the Gestalt Manager Reference on the Apple Developer Website.
    Note that in this case deprecated doesn't necessarily mean removed from the OS, it just means that the support for it is no longer available. Despite being "deprecated"  the call to the Gestalt Selector will still return a value, there are two different ways to get that value.
    Method One: Use the gestaltSystemVersion. Which reports 10.9.1.
    Method Two: Use the gestaltSystemVersionMajor, gestaltSystemVersionMinor, and gestaltSystemBugFix to get each of the values and concatenate them. For Instance: Major Version = 10, Minor Version = 10, and Bug Fix Version = 1 then you have 10.10.1
    The problem with using Method One is that the minor version is limited to one character. Since 10 is clearly greater than 1, gestalt reports it as the highest number it can, which is 9, hence 10.9.1 and not 10.10.1. This Gestalt bug has not be fixed on the Apple side because support for it was dropped with version 10.8.
    The user reporting the issue was running version 12.0 of Photoshop. An attempt to update the version to 12.0.4 failed with the installer reporting the following:
    The following updates were unable to install. If you wish to install these updates, please fix the problems below and retry:
    Photoshop 12.0.4
    Installation Failed
    Time to dig around and see if I can figure out what is causing this to die. I am hoping the 12.0.4 update corrects the issue.

  • HELP I Need Help With Photoshop CS5

    I have CS% for school. I have Photoshop 64 bit. Every time I open Photoshop to do an assignment it crashes. I have talked to other people who are experiencing the same thing with 64 bit. Everyone I have spoken to with 32 bit seems to be doing fine. Anyone else having that problem? Is there a way to go from 64 bit to 32 bit only in Photoshop. All other parts of CS5 work fine with the 64 bit. HELP PLEASE!!! email me at [email protected]

    You are in the wrong forum. To save you time, here is the page with the info on how to get CS5 to switch between 32 and 64.

  • Need help with Photoshop CS5.5 Printing issues with Epson R2880

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing problems printing on photoshop, I already selected center image but the epson printer always print to the upper left hand corner of
    the page. And the image is always cropped in a weird way, so eveytime I print the image is not a whole. I made sure I selected the right paper size too.
    It used to print okay, this happened a while ago but I don't know how it got fixed evetually, I think was after a complete restore of my OS.
    I am sure its nothing to do with the Epson driver, becuas after I export the file from photoshop to PDF it prints fine with either preview or adove acrobat.
    Has anyone else experienced such problem?
    Thank you!
    Shao

    Nope, not using the presets, i still cant figure out why it suddenly cant print right!
    btw, thnks for the link, its very useful!!

  • Can't access HELP in Photoshop CS5

    When I click on Help in Photoshop CS5 (installed yesterday), I recieve a popup message from Adobe Community  Help saying "The requested page requires an Internet connection," and I cannot do anything with the Help screen.
    I have an Internet connection.  In fact, if I open my Photoshop CS4 program, I can access the Community Help, it opens IE to the online help page for Photoshop CS4, where in the lower right-hand corner there is a yellow box with a link to CS5 help which if I click on it produces the Photoshop CS5 Help page.
    So why can't I access HELP from CS5 Photoshop directly,and how do I tell CS5 that I have an Internet connection.
    As a side note, this is also a problem with Illustrator CS5.

    The problem is solved.
    I went and found the executable for Community Help.  It is Adobe Help.exe.  I then ran it and received the following message: To access or download help, connect to the Internet or deselect “Display Local Help Contents only” in Preferences.
    Well, I could not find any such thing in Photoshop preferences. It then dawned on me that I should be looking in the preferences of Community Help.  And there it was—the option to display local content only.  However, it was set to no, so I should be seeing help from the Internet.
    That is when the previous remark about the firewall came back to me, and I realized that what was needed was to open the firewall for Adobe Help.exe and not for Photoshop.
    Thanks for your assistance
