Switching CS6 from PC to Mac

I currently have CS6 for PC and I am now switching to be a Mac user. I previously spoke to a representative who said I should be able to transfer my software. Can you please inform me how this would happen? Many thanks for your help. Serena Edwards

How to switch CC from Windows to Mac

I have Creative Cloud on my Windows desktop and laptop. I am considering moving to a new Macbook Pro. How do I switch CC from Windows to Mac?
Thanks,
Mike

I appreciate the advice, but I've discovered that my OS has to be updated first (was 10.6.8) and am in the process of upgrading to Yosemite. Then I will try to login to Creative Cloud on the Mac and from there navigate as you describe. I hope to report this worked!

Switching CS5 from PC to Mac

I have CS5 on my PC but plan to buy a new iMac.Do I have to buy a new version of PS for Mac or can existing license be modified and transferred to the new Mac?

Perpetually licensed products are single platform: Windows only or Mac only.
If you want to keep using CS5 on Windows then you'll have to purchase a new CS6 license for the Mac.
But you can crossgrade from CS5 Windows to CS6 Mac

Switching subscription from Windows to Mac

I have a CC subscription and would like to switch it from my Windows computer to my Mac. I made a few searches but I'm having a brain-fart on good search terms and haven't found what I'm looking for.
Is there a step-by-step for making this switch? Or could someone point me in the right direction?
Your time is most appreciated - and observed in good thoughts.
All the very best!

There is no need to switch. You are allowed to have the software installed and working on two machines, and since it is CC it means you can have mixed systems, meaning one installation could be Windows and one could be Mac. So you only need to be concerned with installing on the Mac. If you want to you can sign out of the Windows installation, but it is not required.

CS6 from PC to Mac

I just purchased an IMAC and would like to transfer my CS6 installed on my PC to my MAC computer. I was told you are allowed one transfer from PC to MAC. Is this correct? How do I go about transferring this over?

When going X-platform, if one does NOT have the Creative Cloud subscription, you are talking about a Cross-grade. It is the same price as the current Upgrade, and gets you the software for the other platform.
If I understand the CC licensing, then X-platform migration is not an issue - but check that out.
Good luck,

Itunes + Switching Library from PC to MAC

I've been reading the FAQ's on iTunes, and I've notived it only has guides that shows how to transfer your music from PC to another PC or Mac to Another Mac.
I'm buying a MacBook Pro this week, and I want to keep all my music, is this going to be possible? If so, can anyone point out a guide in which I can do this?
Thanks,
Alex

"From the Finder:
Help: Mac Help
Select: New to Mac OSX?
Select: For Windows Switchers
Select: Transferring Files from Windows to Mac
Select: More about transferring files from Windows to Mac
Select: Transferring your Music from a Windows computer
Do the stuff they say to do.
If you have music from the iTMS on your PC be sure to deauthorize the PC (from within iTunes Windows) before you try to play that music on the new Mac. It will save you grief later.
On Windows:
Pathname:
My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Find the files:
iTunes library.xml
iTunes 4 music library.itl
Be sure a copy of both is in your iTunes folder you transfer, or just copy them to the Mac if you've already copied the music over.
On the Mac, go to:
iTunes: File: Import
... and browse to the file you copied from Windows:
iTunes Music Library.xml
If the extension is different (ie .txt; sometimes it changes when transferring across platforms) just edit it to .xml before you try importing.
The .xml file should import fine; it's the same format and is named exactly the same way on both platforms (don't ask me why I have two different names in my example above; I found conflicting information; but it doesn't really matter. Use whatever you find there as is). That's where you library data (playlists, ratings, etc) resides."
Hope that helps.

Workflow HELP : switching footage from PC to Mac

Hi,
I'm trying to switch my footage from a PC to a Mac to have my colorist do color grading.
The problem:
His Mac has only 1 HD slot left Internal and his logic board has a HD size limitaton which is inferior to my footage space (500-750 GB unsure which) I'm unsure about using EXT HD with firewire to work at color grading with AE.
Will my colorist be able to to work on firewire EXT HDs? (they will be HTF formatted.)
I working with CFHD avi so is 16 MB/sec and it's VRB which I'm unsure from how much to how much; streams are supposed to have an impact on this as well (but I'm unsure what is defines exactly).
Thank you.
Can anyone give me guidance, I'm quite lost with this and IT people all seems to give me different answers.

>they will be HTF formatted.
Windows does not read Mac-formatted (you surely meant HSF+) discs and vice versa. Not natively, that is. You will need MacDrive or a similar commercial product to do so. However, you are combining several critical things here:
a) Firewire drives often require special drivers on Windows
b) Most PCs only have FW 400 plugs (if at all)
c) Formatting the drive on Mac may make it impossible to even mount it automatically on PC
There's a lot of points where it can go wrong, so my advise is to stay away from even trying (unless you can borrow/ rent an external RAID to experiment). Instead, look into getting a NAS drive with 2 Ethernet ports, then use it as a "storage server". plugging in network cables is certainly easier than going through all the trouble with your other setup.

Switching iPhone from PC to Mac, from one computer to another??

I just got my iPhone. Haven't activated it yet, b/c I also ordered a Macbook Pro. Should I wait until the Macbook comes to activate my iPhone? Or can I just activate it using my PC, and then switch it over to the Macbook? I know that you cant do that with an iPod unless you wipe it completely.
I ordered Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac, so I think with a cable I'll be able to load all my iTunes onto my new Mac from my current PC. Will Parallels be able to do anything regarding iPhone migration (contacts, etc.)?

Hey appleuser101,
You should run into any issues. I activated my iPhone on a PC and use it regularly on my Macs.
This article provides more detailed information on syncing information to the iPhone.

Switching library from pc to mac

I just got a imac and want to switch my itunes library over to it from my old pc. How do I do it?

To make a seamless transition from Windows file paths to Mac files paths, you need to get all your content files in the default "iTunes Music" folder (C:Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music on xp; C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music on Vista) -- do this by opening iTunes Edit menu -> Preferences -> Advanced; click the "Reset" button for "iTunes Music folder location", then click the OK button to save prefs.
Now choose iTunes File menu -> Library -> Consolidate Library; this will copy all the content files that iTunes knows about into the default "iTunes Music" folder. When that's done, quit iTunes; then connect a FAT32-formatted external HD to the PC and make a copy of the "iTunes" folder (not just the "iTunes Music" folder! You want to get the entire "iTunes" folder).
On the Mac, install iTunes and let it run once, just to get set up; then quit iTunes. Connect the external drive to the Mac, and use the "iTunes" folder on the external to replace the "iTunes" folder on the Mac that iTunes just created; when the Mac asks about replacing existing files or folders, answer Yes To All. When copying is done, you're all set -- everything from the PC is now on the Mac: playlists, ratings, counts, dates added, downloaded art, etc.

Switching iTunes from PC to Mac

I copied my iTunes Library.itl file to my Mac's iTunes folder and deleted the other files in that were in that folder. I had been saving all my songs and movies to an external hard drive, so I just unplugged my external drive from the PC and plugged it into the Mac. (Since then, the Mac can read the hard drive, but if I try to move my external drive back to the PC, the PC can't find it. But that's another story.) At first nothing happened when I turned on iTunes. None of my old playlists popped out. I kept trying though by signing into iTunes and connecting (but not syncing) my iPhone. Then this window started popping up saying "The iTunes Library locked, on a locked disk or you do not have written permission for this file." I tried playing with it again by copying the .itl file on a disk from my old PC and replacing the file I had copied into the iTunes folder on the Mac, but the window keeps popping up. The only way I can start iTunes is by deleting that file. Please help. All I want to do is transfer my old songs, movies, and playlists to my iMac.

Hi BMcCrae,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If all of your devices were tied to the same Apple ID account before switching from the PC to the iMac, you do not need to create a new iTunes Store account.
The articles below will explain how to sign out of the iTunes Store account and sign in with the Apple ID you've been using.

Switching ipod from windows to mac

I have a windows computer and i am switching my ipod to my powebook but i can't update it and cannot put songs onto my ipod or get them from my ipod, i want to make it mac formatted. my ipod doesn't work on my windows computer anymore either which isn't a problem but i can't use that computer to fix the problem. thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you want to make your iPod Mac formatted, you need to download the Mac version of iPod software updater and install it on your Powerbook. Then run it and connect the iPod when told. Choose to restore. This will convert the iPod to Mac format which will erase everything on it.
Make sure your iPod is fully charged first.

Switch iPod from PC to Mac

Just switched from PC to iMac and had all of our data swapped over (music, photos, documents, etc.). It appears all of the music we had in iTunes on the PC carried over, just not any of the playlists. When I connect my iPod Classic and iPad, I receive messages that both are still "tethered" to another computer, and that if I want to sych them with our new one I have to essentially wipe them clean. How to I "untether" both from our old, disconnected PC to our new iMac without losing everything on each device?

Plug it back into the PC and then change the setting for the iPod from Auto Update to Manual update. Eject and plug into Mac...
