  • Trying to transfer CS5 from Vista to Apple Imac

    HI.
       I purchased Photoshop CS5 in July 2010, I was using a Medion pc running Vista . On 30th may 2012 i phoned yourselves (case no.0208471813) to say that i was going to replace my failing computer with an Apple Imac & wanted to know if i could transfer my CS5 from Vista to Imac . I was told yes i could but it could only be done once, since then my computer has died & i have bought an Apple Imac. I phoned yourselves today to find out what i had to do to transfer CS5 over & to my amazement i was told that you could not do it because CS5 has been replaced with CS6. I am very disappointed that you didn't advise me when i made my first enquiry that this would not be possible once CS6 was available. So i am asking again is there any way that this programe can be transfered over as this was not a cheap item and i cannot afford to purchase CS6.  I have a Mac OSX  version 10.7.4. with 4GB memory.  I am sorry that this was such a long message . with regards  Gary Hampson

    First of all, you are not addressing Adobe here.  We are all users just like you in these user-to-user forums.
    The license is totally platform specific, and so is the program itself.  The Windows serial number is no good on a Mac version.  The binary itself only runs on a Windows box.
    Before CS6 shipped, you could have arranged with Adobe customer service for what Adobe calls a "cross-grade" at a nominal cost by providing a letter of "proof of destruction" of your Windows copy and deactivating said Windows version.
    CS5 is no longer being sold, so your only path is to get a "cross-grade" to CS6 by paying the upgrade price.
    If you wish to pursue your case, you need to call Adobe on the phone.  There's no one here in this forum who can help you.

    How can I transfer CS5 from my old PC to my new PC?

    You can download the trial version of the software from the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site.
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    If you do not intend to use the older machine any longer, you should consider deactivating it and uninstalling it from that machine.  If you think you might need the option to use it, you are allowed to maintain two licensed installations.

  • How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

    CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS.  The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
    Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
    I use imac i7, lion.
    Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
    Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
    thanks to any and all.

    Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
    On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this.  I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
    1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
         A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
         B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
         C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
         A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
         B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
         C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace.  I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace.  The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    I hope this helps. 
    and I hope there are no typos.

  • Transfer cs5 to new disk

    the hard disks in my computer are hdr  i wont to up grade to ssd for both the main disk and the scratch disk is it possible to transfer cs5 from the hdr to the ssd ?? if so how do i do it with out loosing the program

    When I upgraded to SSD I backed my entire system up to external USB drive, swapped hardware and restored the backup.  I've been using this system for a year since then without any problems.
    I did have have to call Adobe to get Photoshop activated again.  Consider deactivating Photoshop before making the backup.

  • Transfer CS5 license for PC to a MAC license?

    I'm dhanging from PC to Mac and would like to transfer my license for CS5. What is the procedure?

    You can only change with current version.  So you would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac.  If you subscribe you can use either platform.

  • Transfer CS5 from pc to mac

    I am a student and I own the student version of CS5 for a PC. My PC is dying, so I purchased a Mac. How can I transfer my CS5 from my PC to my Mac?

    You cannot. The license is operating system specific: Windows only or Mac only.
    Platform swaps are only possible for current versions (currently CS6).
    Your options now are to purchase a new CS6 Student version for Windows or upgrade ("crossgrade") to a commercial version of CS6 Win or join the Cloud https://creative.adobe.com/plans

  • How do I transfer CS5.5 from an old macbook pro to a new one via firewire?

    My old MacBook Pro fried its graphics card and I need to transfer all of my data across to my new macBook Pro. I have everything backed up on a hard drive but when I try to open it it says that i can't because t is on a Time Machine Back-up. How do I get it to open? Do i need to get a new serial number? Not sure what to do from here.

    You need to reinstall on your new MacBook Pro from your original media (if you purchased a DVD), or from the backup you made of the installation files.
    You cannot successfully migrate CS5.5 using FireWire. That would not be successful. You can use the same serial number you had before. However, if you used all your two activations, you may have to Adobe to remove its listing of your old Mac so you don't lose one activation.

  • Is there any way to transfer CS5 from current Macbook Pro to brand new iMac?

    I currently have CS5 on my Macbook Pro, but I just bought a new iMac yesterday which I want as my main design platform.  I currently cannot find my CS5 disc or upgrade information, I can only find my original CS3 Design Premium Disc.  I still have the activation codes/serial number for both CS3 and CS5, so I'm very much hoping there is a solution to get CS5 onto the iMac?!?!
    Please Help!!!

  • Want to transfer CS5 . Have serial number but not product key or discs. How can I do it?

    I have Cs5 on my Mac book but want to transfer it to my new MacBook Pro retina. I have the serial number BUT my installation discs are packed away. Can I retrieve the product key from Adobe ? Do I need it anyway?
    help would be much appreciated...

    If you have the serial number and an internet connection you should be all set.  You can download thru the following page and use the serial number you say you have to activate it.
    Download CS5 products
    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you choose to you can leave the current installation on the old machine as a backup.  If you prefer to remove it for any reason, be sure to deactivate it first so that the extra activation is still available to you.

  • How do I transfer CS5 to my New Computer?

    Hello,
    I have a new computer to which I want to transfer Dreamweaver CS5 from my old computer.      I thought it would mean that I simply find a download link to CS5 and download, but I can't find a link to do this.   How can I transfer Dreamweaver CS5 to my new computer? 
    Thanks for any help! 
    Note, I also have adobe Flex Builder 3, which I would like to transfer over as well.

    Thanks for your response.   I found the problem.   I purchased it for download, but apparently my Apple Safari browser did not support features required to direct me to the download link properly.     Google Chrome did the trick!
