Platform swat from CS5 PC to Mac

Hi. My name is Camilla. I´m from Sweden so maybe my English isn´t the best. I have a question. I bought Photoshop CS5 with licens for 2 PC. I´m only using one. Now I will buy a Mac instead. I want to do a platform swat from PC to Mac. I need to run both the Mac and the PC. How can I do this?

Hi Camilla
As much as I'd treasure the idea of setting a 'SWAT' team on Apple
I'm sure you were asking if you could Swap from PC to Mac. The answer is I am not sure. I used to think it was always no, but under some circumstances, I think it can be done for a small fee. Check out this thread

Good luck, and thanks for the mind picture which I shall enjoy all day.

How do i move my nik software plugins to photoshop creative cloud from cs5 on a mac

how do I move my Nik software plugins to PS creative cloud from PS cs5 on a mac?

I would reinstall it, seeing as there has been some issues with a new plugin that they released.

Hi, I have upgraded from a windows computer to a MAC, how do I change the platform for my CS5, thanks

You don't. Platform swaps only apply to current versions. You need to buy at least the CS6 upgrade and make the switch.

Saving down from CS5 to CS4 cross-platform

Working on a PC, I am saving down from CS5 to CS4, exporting as an idml. The client is using CS4 on a MAC. When the file opens, the Master Page content is superimposing over the content of the page. Help!

Hi Bob and thank you for your help.
The answer to your question is yes. But now I have more information:
- I opened the idml file on my PC and I see the same thing as my client who is using a MAC.
- It occurred to me that my client created the original ind file himself (on a MAC) then sent it to me to work on.
- BUT my client's ind file was a originally a Quark file converted to InDesign CS4.
- I just completed another project for the client but I created it from scratch in CS5 then saved as an idml file so his MAC could read it. He had no problem with the idml file.

Is CS4 fully patched to 6.0.5?

Switch from CS5 Mac to PC

Someone I know would like to attempt a switch to PC, but is currently running CS5. Does Adobe offer a way to transfer a license from mac to pc? Even cancel it so it doesn't work on the mac so that it would work on the mac for good measure and simply allow her to install a windows version?
Thanks.

Adobe does offer platform swaps (Windows to Mac and vice versa) but only for current versions

Your friend will have to purchase a crossgrade from CS5 Mac to CS6 Windows.
Or join the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Transferring Actions Palette from CS5 on PC to CS6 on Mac

I recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6. The CS5 license was on a PC, the CS6 license is on my new Mac.
I have access to my old PC still, but I have not been able to figure out how to transfer my Actions or my Camera Raw presets (.XMP files) to the Mac. I need access to these Actions asap and am not able to recreate them. Would very much appreciate any help on this.

Hello, you need to save the actions from the Actions panel's flyout menu to a given location (some make a copy in an online folder) , and load them from the equivalent panel in CS6.
In ACR, are those presets, or develop settings for each photo? If the latter, copy them over with the photos.

Upgrading from CS5 mac to CS6 pc

Hi
I will upgrade from CS5 for mac to CS6 for PC. Will i be able to open the old project files on the PCwith CS6?

When you open a project made on one computer on a different computer it may report that the media is off-line. You then need to find the media in the dialogue box(es) which appear to re-link the files. Premiere will probably have to spend some time re-conforming the audio first. The only time this does not occur is when Premiere's preferences are identical on each computer and the media is located on the same drive path, E.G. E:\Projects\project1
If any media files use Mac specific codecs then you may have issues IE Pro-Res files.
This will not be the case as you are changing between Mac and windows and paths to folders etc cant be the same. But it will work.

Upgrade from CS2 (PC) to CS5 Master Collection (Mac) ?

Hi, I'm currently having CS2 Creative Suite Premium (PC version), and I'm interested to upgrade to CS5 Master Collection (Mac version). Am I entitled for upgrade using Adobe product no 65065593, or should I use something else? I'm a company user (not home/education). Best regards, Marti

In order to upgrade crossplatform, you'll need to call Adobe directly.

Why can't I print from CS5? Mac and Snow Leopard

I can't print from CS5. I have a Canon Pro 9000 MKII, and all drivers are up to date. Whenever I need to print I have to close the image and reopen it in CS4. I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and can print from all other programs.
When I do try to print from CS5, I get a dialog box (see attached). If I click the "Cancel" button (the only option) the print command in the menu is grayed out until I restart CS5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

One other thing to try is changing the name of the printer queue, which may convince Photoshop and the system that it's a different printer, so old print settings will not be used.
Open your System Preferences, select "Print & Fax", and then select your printer.
Click the "Open Print Queue..." button. When that opens, select the "Printer Setup" icon (it should be rightmost in the top row), and then change the name of the printer. and OK.

Upgrade paths from cs5 to cs5.5

Hello,
I just got off the phone with customer service. I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 in late December. I would like to upgrade InDesign from CS5 to the 5.5 version. I was told this isn't an option because I own the suite.
This perplexes me since I have purchased many, many single items from Adobe in the past--from Pagemaker 3 pretty much on. Is it really true that once I went to CS2 I abandoned my rights to upgrade individual products?
It seems a bit unreasonable, after spending $600 at the end of last year, that now, three months later, I need to spend another $400 just to update one program. Am I missing something?
I am posting here because the representative I spoke with had a really, really hard time understanding English and I'm not sure he even got my question. It took him over a half hour just to find my account and verify that I had a registered version of Design Premium. He told me that part of the problem was that I have purchased so many Adobe (and Macromedia) products over the past 15 years that I now have four accounts and that it was not possible to consolidate all my software under one single account. This also sounds very odd. HELP!
Thanks!
Ruth

I looked into crossgrading. The whole thing was a comedy of errors. My new custom built super-charged PC developed an un-diagnoasable software error, and then got stolen after being sent in for repaired. At the time, it seemed like my best option was to start the migration from Windows, buy a Mac laptop, get software to run on it, yet still keep my Windows options open in case the PC was found. I was using a backup PC to keep work on schedule.
I used one of my Macromedia cross-platform suite products to upgrade to the Mac CS3 suite. So it wasn't as expensive as it could have been. In hindsight, yes, I should have just abandoned the PC and crossgraded. But I was very fearful after all the computer issues I had encountered that I would have problems with one or the other of the two computers and I felt I needed some redundancy just to ensure I didn't have more downtime.
I'll look through the Adobe site for a license transfer form. When I called several months ago, the agent, made it sound like these were very difficult to come by. Or perhaps, the agent just didn't know. I've ran into this several times with Adobe. One agent tells you one thing, another says something entirely different. Customer service is lacking in my opinion.

We just downloaded the Creative Suite 6 onto our computer, but it says that the serial number is incorrect. Do we use our serial number from CS5.5 because that didn't work?

Creative Suite 6
Click the Buy link for the Suite you want to upgrade to.
I want to buy: <select Upgrade>
I own: <select the CS5.5 product you already own>
Platform: <select Mac or Windows>
Complete your CS6 upgrade purchase.
Note that CS6 is superseded software and will receive no further upgrades or updates. Adobe has stopped working on CS6.
Adobe now promotes their Cloud memberships. So consider subscribing to an Adobe Cloud membership if you want up-to-date software which will be upgraded regularly.

Transferring notes/grades from CS5 to photoshop element 10

Hello,
I own CS5 and just purchased photoshop element 10.
I have a question concerning how to transfer notes/grades from CS5 to photoshop element 10 ?
For example, in CS 5, I have given a 5 star grade to a picture. However, when I open photoshop element 10, this grade doesn't show up. Would you know how to transfer it so that I don't have to re-grade all the pict in PE10.
thanks in advance and best regards,
Pascal

Barbara - thank you for this tip. I did so, and ended up with this
message: "This catalog is from an older version of Elements and is
currently not supported on the Mac platform. Please create a new catalog
and then import your media files." It goes on to indicate that I may be
able to get membership services through Photoshop.com. . .but I'm wondering
if you have any advice on the first suggestion, that is - specifically how
to create a new catalog and then import media files?
Thanks again!

Can I repair an OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac MOV file that was corrupted by a crash?

Hi,
I have a 16Gb MOV file from OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac that has been corrupted. The program froze and then crashed mid record and the file is now unusable. Is there any way that the file can be repaired or the video footage recovered?
Thanks,
Larry

I believe it's a DV file in a MOV container but I'm not certain since OnLocation for Mac gives no options for configuring the codec etc.
Looking at posts about the windows version in seems that it uses a dummy header and replaces it with the real thing when you stop the recording. I was wondering if the Mac version does something similar and if it does an the header from a working file be transplanted across somehow.
Thanks,
L

I am running CS5 on my MAC OS10.6.8 and I want to upgrade my OS to 10.8 or 10.9. Will my CS5 continue to work and do I have to reinstall anythig?

It should upgrade fine.
Worst case is you'll need to run the Adobe Cleaner Tool (link below), then reinstall from your original discs:
