Photoshop CS6 upgrade and Windows Vista

I own Photoshop CS5 and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit platform. Can I upgrade to CS6 ? Your upgrade ad and recent published info says that only platforms using Windows XP or Windows 7 are upgradable. What happened to Windows Vista ?

It works on Vista, even if it is not officialyl supported. Just be prepared that things like OpenGL support, tablet drivers etc. may act funny and some features may not work at all.

  • Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems

    Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems? I have over 400 GB,s  free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems.  I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256  GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance.

    Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop.   You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
    Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor.  If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade  What is your system out of interest?  I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough.  Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

  • Photoshop cs6 extended and windows 8

    I Have been told different answers pertaining to photoshop cs6 being compatible with windows 8. Does anyone here use photoshop cs6 on windows 8? Specifically photoshop cs6 extended? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks

    The base code of windows 7, vista , 8, and 8.1 are all identical. They are all the same version. They are only point upgrades from each other (based on information from Microsoft)
    This means that odds are quite good if it works on 7 or vista, it will work on 8 or 8.1.
    This biggest differences are user interface changes between each version of windows, other than that bug fixes.
    That said, the .net code is updated and it is possible that something written for version 8 would not be backward compatible.
    On another note, I have not heard of any complaints using CS6 on 8, so I am fairly confident that it will run. But like anything, there is always that possibility. (That was my disclaimer, lol.)

  • Photoshop CS Upgrade and Windows 7

    Hi,
    I recently purchases a new laptop that has Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, I own Photoshop CS Upgrade that I previously ran on Windows Vista based machine.  I was able to install my CS upgrade on the Vista machine after first installing Photoshop 4 and Phooshop 5.0 Upgrade.  All of these versions I am the proud owner and have legitimate licenses.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to install Photoshop CS Upgrade on my new Windows 7 Professional laptop becuase of the following:
    - Windows 7 will not allow me to install Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 5.0.2 Upgrade prior to installing Photoshop CS or,
    - Photoshop CS upgrade will not recognize the Photoshop 5.0.2 Upgrade CD and allow it to install.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed?
    Best regards,
    Don Barar

    Hi Dan - My situation is nearly the same as yours.  I recently purchases a new desktop that has Windows 7 Professional 64  bit,   I own Photoshop CS Upgrade that I previously ran on my Windows XP based machine.  I previously used my Phooshop 5.0 license as the basis to install Photoshop CS upgrade.
    When I tried to install Photoshop CS the first time I could not get by the User Agreement screen.  I kept clicking multiple "Agree" bottons and none of them worked. I then tried to load Photoshop 5 and it would not work in Windows 7 as it did in XP.  I then called Adobe support and they recommended checking out the Forums.
    After spending some time reading the user forums, I went back and tried to load Photoshop CS again.  When I got to the User Agreement Svreen, I hit "Return" instead of clicking the "Agree" radio box.  I learned that "Agree" was the default and that simply hitting the "Enter" key worked.  The rest was easy.  I entered the serial number of Photoshop CS and then it brought up 3 options for recognizing my old software.  I chose the last option, then loaded my old Photoshop 5 disk on my CD/DVD  drive and it automatically reconized the old software (Without actually running the "Setup.exe file).  Then I took off the Photoshop 5 disc and remounted the Photoshop CS disc and continued with loading the Photoshop CS software.
    So far Photoshop CS appears to be working fine on Windows 7.  The Adobe support person said that it had not been tested on Windows 7.  This was true with most of my old software and Photoshop CS was the last application on my list to get up and running.
    Hope this helps you and some other users..

  • Is Photoshop CS6 compatible with Windows Vista?

    Is the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Version (Legacy Editions) compatible with Windows Vista?

    No.
    Photoshop CS6 is officially supported on Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 or Windows 8 only.

  • Photoshop cs6 64bit and windows 8

    Why my photoshop  CS6  64 bit in windows 8 can't SAVE and SAVE AS any files?
    it's ok for my Photoshop cs6 32bit,but there is not reaction when i use command file->save  or file->save as ,also CTRL +S and SHIF +CTRL+S in Photoshop 64 bit 

    I can only tell you this:  I have Photoshop fully updated to 13.0.1 and it works just fine in Windows 8.  But I don't have the full Creative Suite as you do.
    I really suspect there's something else gone wrong on your particular system, perhaps having to do with the display driver or something in particular you installed coincident with the installation of the Adobe updates.
    On a hunch, does Photoshop get any better behaved if you do the following?
    1.  Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance.
    2.  Uncheck [  ] Use Graphics Processor.
    3.  OK out, then close and restart Photoshop.
    I mention this because there are some known display driver problems with Windows 8, especially with ATI video cards/interfaces.
    Best of luck in getting to the bottom of this.

  • ITunes 8 upgrade and Windows Vista

    I tried installing the iTunes 8 upgrade and have not been able to get it to install correctly. When it completes the installation, it says that it needs to reboot my system, so I tell it to go ahead and reboot. Once the system is rebooted, I click on the iTunes icon and iTunes starts to try to re-install again. This happens repeatedly. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    After you restart the computer, when you try to open up iTunes, try getting it from your Start > Programs menu. If you can open it that way, drag it from that menu to your desktop to re-create your shortcut. Perhaps it was somehow linked to your installer file rather than your application .exe file?

    Go into your Documents\Music\iTunes\ directory. Move the files called "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" to your desktop. Then, you should be able to open up iTunes. If so, click your File menu and choose Import (if running iTunes 8 it's File > Library > Import Playlist) and choose the iTunes Music Library.xml file that's been placed on your desktop.

    Whenever any Apple products are sent in for service Apple makes it very clear that it is not responsible for personal data left on those machines, and not backed up elsewhere. I'd imagine (although I'm not 100% positive) it would work the same for software. You might be able to find more information in Apple's legal documentation at http://www.apple.com/legal/. This is a user-to-user forum, so I'd be surprised if many people knew the specifics offhand.

    The iTunes downloads have always been free. Regarding the 2.1 update, specific to an iPhone or iPod touch... if you have an iPhone you don't need to pay for the update. Same for the iPod touch, 2nd generation (the one released this past Tuesday). If you have a 1st generation iPod touch for which you've already paid for the upgrade, the iPod software update files will remain on your computer, even if you uninstall/reinstall iTunes. In the event that you need to re-download a 2.x version, simply act as though you are going to pay for it again with the same Apple ID used to purchase it the first time, and iTunes will automatically prompt you to download it again for free.

  • Can i purchase and install photoshop cs6 upgrade on a windows 8 pc.

    i have photoshop cs5 upgrade installed on a windows 7 pc. can i purchase photoshop cs6 upgrade from adobe and install it on a windows 8.1 windows pc.this is important because i do not  want to purchase a new pc and then find i cannot purchase and install photoshop cs6 onto it.

    Inasmuch as you are allowed to purchase a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, there's no technical reason you can't install it on Windows 8.  When an upgrade installation asks about the prior product, you need only give it the serial number of your Photoshop CS5 license.

  • Just got iPhone 5, get home and find iCloud Outlook Add-in does not install under Windows XP.  I am loathe to upgrade to Windows Vista/7/8 just yet.  Can I obtain and use an earlier version of iCloud Outlook Add-in?  My iPad II synchronizes!

    There is no 'earlier' version that supports XP. iCloud launched with Vista/7 support only.

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

  • Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

    Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling with no results.

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade reinstall fail

    On a Windows Vista service pack 2 machine.
    I successfully installed Photoshop CS6 upgrade on my computer and it was up and running.  Two days later I was hit with the FBI moeypack virus and had to do a system restore and then ran Mallwarebytes to get rid of it.  The system restore point was just before I installed CS6 and after the restore, CS6 was gone.   I tried to reinstall CS6 and now the installer fails.  I ran Adobe Support Advisor and it shows no problems.   I ran Adobe creative suite cleaner tool chosing CS6 and it didn't help.  Photoshop CS5 is still on my computer and it still runs OK.  I am at a loss as to what to try next.

    Photoshop CS6 in not compatible with Win Vista. Please find the System Requirement: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main_ Photoshop_CS6_system_requirements

  • Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

    I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system.  When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product.  I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict.  My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3.  I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.    

    SouthCityTim I would recommend contacting our support team so they can validate your upgrade path and serial number.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade won't let me sign in.

    Photoshop CS6 upgrade won't let me sign in.  When it's getting ready to download, after I put in my seriel number it asks me to sign in however when I push the button I get a window that says "Adobe Application Manager has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and makes me close the program.

    Try to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
