Scrolling in the MAC Version of Photoshop versus Windows

I just switched to a MAC and the MAC version of Photoshop CS6. In windows I could click on a setting and scroll through all of the settings of the BW mask and see how each one would look. On my MAC I haven't been able to do this. Can you scroll through selections in the MAC version of Photoshop and if so, how? I have also noticed a similar issue in LR4 where I can no longer click on an adjuctment slider and scroll the slider back and forth until I am satisfied with the result.

Yes. It's called a Platform swap.

Is there any possible way I can use the keyboard controls/shortcuts of Microsoft on the Mac version or PhotoShop?

I am very used to using a PC for Photoshop and just recently changed to Mac. I tried plugging in a different but the keyboard shortcuts arent like Windows version

This is pretty horrible advice. 95% of Photoshop works the same on Mac and PC. Almost all of the keyboard shortcuts are identical except that Ctrl becomes Command and Alt becomes Option (same key anyway). The menus are all the same.

Also, when using PS on a Mac, their is no option to enable "windows keyboard mode" in OS X. I know, I have used PS on a PC and currently use it on a Mac. You have no option but to learn how to use it on a Mac. If you are comfortable with Windows, purchase a copy of Windows and run it in Boot Camp or a virtual machine and purchase a copy of PS for windows. Then when in Windows, I believe you can use MS shortcuts.
This is also (mostly) incorrect advice.
If you look in the Keyboard system preference, and you click Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find a shortcut called "Move focus to the menu bar." Once this happens, you can type ahead to menus and commands, much like the alt menu shortcuts in Windows. If you wanted to open the Duplicate command, it would be Ctrl-F2 to activate the menu bar (edit that shortcut if you don't like it), then type I and Enter to drop the Image menu, then type D and Enter to open Duplicate. If there were two D commands, you would type ahead until the letters are different. You can use the spacebar instead of Enter, and Esc does the same as Windows. I just tried all this in CS5 and it works fine. The advantage over Windows is that you do not need to memorize the alt shortcuts, because it's based on the command name you want instead of an arbitrary letter in the middle of the name.
As jasdril said, you can simply edit the direct shortcuts too. But in most cases there should be no need to because as I said, most are the same anyway.
In short, there is plenty of keyboard-driven flexibility there for anyone willing to adapt just a little tiny bit.
The second advice that is not so good is recommending a Windows virtual machine. That'll slow down Photoshop, in addition to using up a lot of RAM and CPU that Photoshop really needs. The Mac version of Photoshop being native, would run at a proper speed.
The last possibly bad decision in this thread is TTro787 deciding to take the Mac back to the store, ignoring a quarter century of history of the Mac as a well-established graphic design and photo workstation. If you don't think the Mac is going to work well for Photoshop, it isn't going to be because of the Mac... the Mac is not just for Starbucks posers. Too many smart scientists (who want to use the Unix-based OS) and competent designers use Macs.
In short there is a whole lot of intolerance and assumed differences in this thread by both Mac and Windows zealots, which is too bad. Photoshop is mostly the same on Mac and Windows unless you're trying really hard to make it not work.

I have tried to download the mac version of Photoshop CS at the link that was provided to me, and once I downloaded it was unable to install on my computer

I have tried to download the mac version of Photoshop CS at the link that was provided to me, and once I downloaded it was unable to install on my computer. I am wondering what might be going wrong.

CS (and CS2) will not install or run on modern Macs.
CS (and CS2) is a PowerPC application designed for PowerPC chips. It only runs on
Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Apple switched to Intel processors several years ago and PowerPC apps are not compatible.

Where's the mac version of photoshop elements 11?

I click on download, do the Akamai thing for the mac/win version (had to try it 3 times before it worked, no clue what changed to make it work the third time), then end up with a .exe file. That doesn't work on a mac, right? Or have I missed something?

Mac's will not run a .exe file. They will run a .dmg file. If you are facing issues downloading Photoshop Elements 11 from your account I would suggest you download the trial version and during installation enter the seril number when prompted. Go to: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ and select the product you want to download (the website determines the OS automatically).
Thanks

I´m not able to download the mac version of photoshop and lightroom, I always get a download of an .exe file, which I cannot handle.

No mac version?

Hi peter314,
Please download CC desktop app via Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial and then start downloading Photoshop and Lightroom.
In case that also comes in .exe then download PS and LR via Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
PS: Please follow the VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS or else the download will not start.

Using the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?

I am intending to upgrade to photoshop CC from photoshop CS6, my concern is is my computer is 6 years old and probably I will not be able to upgrade to a later mac operating system as I have mac os 10.9, and I may not be able to upgrade to a future version of photoshop, will I be able to use the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?, I know I can do this with Photoshop CS6.

There's no reason why you can't do both. You will always have CS6 to fall back on if the need should ever arise, the same as most of the regular posters here. But you could enjoy CC for as long as it suited you, and it has some very features and more are coming all the time.
We've seen two nice updates to Photoshop CC in the eight months since the subscription model went live. (Have I got that right?) So we can expect three a year or more, and there were some killer new features in 14.2. Heck, it would already break my heart if I had to go back to CS6. In another four years... It ain't gonna happen.

I ordered the photoshop essentials for windows and needed the MAC version,

I downloaded it and then registered the product thinking I would need to ask for an exchange, however it is working okay, I think, do i need to make the change?
thanks

You might have gotten the Mac version anyways. Assuming you mean Photoshop Elements, your purchase is good for either platform. When you downloaded it might have automatically detected your system and delivered the proper version.
If you have a problem you should be able to get the proper version without having to make any arrangements with Adobe.
