Switch Adobe CS5 to mac

I am running parallel presently with XP. I have CS5 for windows. Is it better to switch to CS5 for MAC? What are the benefits or disadvantages?

As a Mac user, I'm used to crazy requirements for Windows only so I sympathize!
There's another possibility: If you have an Intel Mac produced in the past four or five years, you can get free software from Apple called Boot Camp and run it on your Mac. You can run a Windows partition on the Mac and install your Windows version of Adobe CS5 there.
Here is more information on Boot Camp:

For a little more money, you can buy Parallels or VMWare so you can run your Mac and Windows partitions at the same time and quickly switch back and forth.

Adobe CS5 MC Win to Adobe CS5 MC Mac Upgrade

Hi,
Firstly, I am in India.
I asked this on chat with customer service they asked me to contact reseller regarding product swap for this, but when I contacted one listed they said that its not possible as Adobe CS5 isn't available anymore and only CS5.5 is + they don't know if cross-os upgrade is actually possible, but since I got new macbook pro due to (better backup feature and iOS development etc) I want to get my Adobe Master Collection from my old PC to new Macbook pro and I don't wanted to go for cs5.5 due to money issue(I would sit tight for cs6). I even contacted few other resellers and distributors it seems they are not quiet interested in this deal (passing from one person to another). What should I do?.
Thanks in prior for help.

I made another post regarding this and other issue I got due to this issue that is 'upgrading to cs5.5 first' I got that one resolved and after 3 weeks I get that product + a two week of searching around and asking resellers if they are interested in selling one. Adobe's India head alteready made contact with me regarding this issue.
For first issue that is switing to mac, I followed Bob's advice temporarly and got creative suite on bootcamp so that I can start working on projects. Meanwhile I am in middle of a project so I can't sign LOD and not use software for a week or two (might take longer since 1 week is wait time in US). I will sign LOD in next 3 weeks most probably and wait for mac version.

Adobe CS5 not working.

Hi,
I'm trying to use my Adobe CS5 on Mac OS 10.8.5 but it fails silently.
Simply, when I try to launch a CS5 application like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Fireworks... nothing happens.
I used to work with these softwares before and they worked perfectly untill I removed Java 6 and installed Java 7. So I think that Java is responsible for my problem.
I tried to remove and reinstall Adobe Creative Suite, but nothing changed.
I cleaned my system using Creative Cleaning Tool from Adobe's site.
I tryed to install Java for OS X 2013-004 (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572) but It fails with a generic error "Installation failed" and no details.
Also: there is no Java Preferences.app in my /Applications/Utility folder as many discussion on this forum suggest.
So...
Does exist a stupid-proof procedure to remove Java 7 and restore Java 6?
Or...
Does anybody knows what is happening to my computer?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your answer, I'll try to keep both, but how can I reinstall Java 6?
I downloaded JavaForOSX2013-004.dmg from this page http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 but it fails:
There are no details about the error, how can I fix this? Where are error logs?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Switch from Adobe CS5 on Windows to Adobe CS5 on a Mac?

Hello,
In December I bought a student edition of Adobe CS5 Production Premium for Windows from Amazon.com, but just a few months later I found out that the art department at the school that I will attend has a laptop requirement of a Mac. I don't want to have to pay for another license for CS5 since I will no longer be using CS5 on my Windows laptop. Is there any way that I can trade in the license without having to upgrade to CS5.5 on the way to switching to Mac? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ithu

i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

rebel1568,
All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC. You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop. You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines. You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
Of course, you could run your Windows on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC? I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop. I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

Adobe CS5 Trial Setup failure on Mac. Help!

Ok so I've been trying to download the trial for Adobe CS5 Photoshop and have run into some problems on my Mac. Here's where I am in the download process. I went to the site and clicked the download now button for the trial. I open the adobedownloadassistant.dmg on my desktop and double click the install adobe download assistant. I watch the bar on the adobe download assistant install go to completion and then it closes out. Now, from what I understand, at this point the download assistant should pop up and I'm supposed to sign in with my ID but the problem is that this window never pops up.
I noticed one time that it said that a version of adobe AIR could not be found and suggested updating. I went to the Adobe site then and downloaded the latest version of Adobe AIR. When I try to install it I get an error message saying that the Adobe AIR installer application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. This is also the same error message I got with the CS5 installer assistant.
Here's a picture of the error message I get when trying to open the adobe AIR installer. Seems like a catch-22 to me.
I'm running Mac OS X Lion on a 15" 2.2 ghz quad core intel core i5
