Switching my programs from mac to windows?

Hopefully there is a way that i can switch all of my adobe programs from my mac to my pc.

Depends on which version you already own.
If Cloud (CC) then yes. Mac and PC versions are part of your membership.
If CS6 then yes with a platform swap
Order product | Platform, language swap
If CS5 then only by paying to upgrade to CS6 or joining the Cloud.
If earlier then only by joining the Cloud or buying CS6.

  • Switching 3Gen Nano from Mac to Windows

    OK, I know what you're thinking, so let's not go there.
    In the meantime, I've purchased a nano in Japan for use with a Mac which I purchased at the same time. For a variety of reasons, I've returned to using a Windows machine. Don't ask.
    Now, I'd like to sync my nano to Windows. I've done all the Right Stuff, including a downloading the latest version of iTunes and restoring the Nano.
    Regrettably, the little bugger simply runs and runs, with a message that says "do not disconnect". The restore doesn't seem to have taken, I can't load anything to it, it doesn't appear to charge fully. I've left it to run overnight, and when I return the next am, the nano is still (apparently) charging.
    So in a nutshell, I had a Mac-based Nano which I tried to convert to Windows using the steps on the site -- 1. download the latest version of Windows iTunes 2. use the restore feature to ah, "restore" your Nano to the software on you PC.
    Except it's not working that way.
    Any help you can give is appreciated.

    All righty. I've checked and the iPod is using the FAT32 format. But still, every time I plug it into the PC, it runs with the message "do not connect". It'll run like this for hours -- even overnight. When I do shut the PC down and disconnect the iPod, I get the "Please restore" message in several languages. But iTunes doesn't restore it.
    I've uninstalled iTunes and will reinstall it and try again, but to date, this is a very expensive device that I can't even use as a doorstop. Hmmm. I'll keep working on it. If you think of anything else to try, please do let me know.

  • Can I switch back & forth from Mac to Windows PC on my iPhone?

    Am wondering if its possible to use my iPhone with both my at home iBook and my Windows PC at work?

    masonsbeau,
    As long as they both meet the system requirements the general answer is yes.
    However, you will only be able to sync music and videos from one of them. However, contacts and calendars can be synced with both, or only one your choice.
    Purchased music can be transfered to the other computer using the iPhone even if you don't sync music with that computer. As long as both computers are authorized on your iTunes Store account, go to File -> Transfer purchases to copy purchased songs to the computer you aren't syncing with. The same steps can be used to sync songs purchased on your iPhone to the computer as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How do I switch iTunes Library from Mac to Windows?

    Well, my Macbook died today. Fortunately I have all my media on an external drive. Also, I have a Windows machine. How do I point my Windows iTunes to access my external drive/media? Also, I have an iPhone - will that be messed up; will all my data be erased. Oh lord, what a nightmare! (At least my Mac is backed up, so someday I'll be able to restore that to a new Mac.) Is it as simple as Preferences > Advanced > "iTunes Media folder location" and changing that location? Also, will Windows even be able to read the disk? I'm freakin'.

    click here and here for information.

    if the external HD is formatted for Mac, you may need to install MacDrive on the windoze machine.
    good luck !

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 transfer license from mac to windows

    Hello,
    In 2011, I bought a license 'adobe Creative Suite 5.5' (students) for a mac.
    My Macbook crashed again and I want to switch to a PC.
    Is it possible to switch my license from mac to windows?
    Thanks 

    No. that only applies to "current" versions, meaning CS6. You will have to buy the commercial CS6 upgrade and make the switch or just buy a new license if you are still eligible for S&T pricing.

  • Switching from Mac to Windows with no CD

    Yes, I too fell in love at first sight with the nano, and will be giving my mini to my boyfriend (who got it for me in the first place). He uses PCs and Windows.
    I did a search on reformatting the mini from Mac to Windows but all the answers seemed to involve installing the iPod for Windows software. I don't seem to have this anymore, and Apple helpfully doesn't provide it for download.
    Sooo...how is my boyfriend to reformat my mini for PC? Will just plugging it into a machine loaded with iTunes for Windows do it?
    Sorry if this is an often asked question; maybe what I should be asking is where or whether I can get the iPod for Windows software. Will whatever is provided with the nano work for the mini on a PC?

    Download the latest version of iTunes and the iPod software updater onto the PC. Install iTunes, then the iPod software updater. Then run the iPod software updater, connect the mini when told, and choose to restore.

  • Copying files from Mac to Windows-invalid file names

    Unfortunately, my boss likes Windows more than Macs, so we have puchased some new Dell computers to replace older G4 Macs.
    I'm having trouble copying existing files from a Mac (OS 10.4)to the shared drive on the Windows XP computer. I'm getting an error message:
    "You can't copy the item 'filename' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk can't display." Sometimes it doesn't give a filename, it gives a similar message "Some items couldn't be copied..."
    I assume the person has used some "illegal" file names such as "Meeting minutes 10/7/07" Or maybe we have too many folders inside of folders.
    QUESTION: Is there a correct/better way to copy large quantites of files/folders from Mac to Windows? Or is there a program that will look at the Mac files and alert me to wrong or too long files names?
    Other ideas to copy these files?
    thanks,
    Bill

    You can use a freeware utility like Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em both of which have built-in filters that will rename files for Windows compatibility.
    Thank you... This sounded to me like it would fix the problem, so I downloaded both and looked at them. However, the manual/help file is very sparse, so I don't know if it will do what I want to and how it would do it.
    1. I couldn't find any option in either program to: Look at all files in selected folder, and list any invalid file names for Windows.
    2. There doesn't seem to be an option to "rename files without bad Windows characters" or "Remove invalid for Windows characters"
    I just couldn't find any explanation of how it was offering to rename the files. I can't rename all files to sequential names, that would make it hard to find a file later.
    Thank you,
    Bill

  • Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

    I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
    When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
    From Windows to Mac?
    We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
    Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
    ---Timothy

    The problem looks like this:
    1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
    2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
    3. We log into the server from Windows.
    4. We try to pull his data from the server.
    During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
    In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Mapping fonts from Mac to Windows in CS4

    What is the most efficient process to map fonts in multiple documents opened from Mac to Windows?
    Currently we are working on 600+ documents that we need to convert to Windows from Mac. Every time we open a new document, the missing fonts dialog comes up. We replace the fonts. However, it appears there's no provision to automatically do this for every new opened document without manually going through this process each time!
    Couldn't find any reference to this issue in Help, KB, forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    OK guys, here's where we are now: apparently there's no way to batch process multiple documents without going each time through the "missing fonts" dialog. However, we were able to make this process as short as possible by using "load character styles" for each document when opened.
    And it's possible to do this across the network.
    Going through "load character styles" and synchronizing two documents [the saved one and the latest opened one], we are able to at least map the fonts consistently from doc to doc. This operation is still time consuming, especially considering the large number of docs we have to process.
    I'm going to look into the scripting option if there's a way to automate this process.
    The same synchronization process could be done by using the "book" option. But that involves again manually adding documents to the book one-by-one.

  • Formatting 3rd Gen ipod from Mac to Windows

    Hello.
    I need to format a 3rd Gen iPod from Mac to windows for my Father in Law.
    So please can anyone tell what the process is?
    Many thanks,

    The iPod is formatted for both PC and Mac, I used to use mine with a PC, bought a Mac, plugged it in and it worked with the Mac no problem. I'm not sure that this works both ways though, if you're having problems you could try this link for help: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/a/ipod_reformat.htmhttp://

  • Is transfer from Mac to Windows via external HD possible?

    I have been using my mums macbook pro and now I'm moving to town for school and only have a HP laptop can I transfer my music over to an external HD from mac to windows and authorise as well? I will visit often and want to have my purchased itunes music on both. If I buy a song on my HP will it update the mac one automatically or do I need to use my external HD every time? And lastly if it does update automatically, what about music not purchased on itunes, will it transfer those as well? I am a mac noob so please keep your answers easy
    Thanks any help would be appreciated.

    Yes it is possible.
    Connect the external drive to the MacBook Pro
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the MacBook Pro to the external drive.
    Open the iTunes folder on the external drive
    Rename the file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl
    Delete the files iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    Connect the external drive to the HP laptop
    Install iTunes if you haven't already, close it if running
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library
    Click Choose, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and select the file iTunes Library.itl
    Authorise the laptop to your iTunes account
    If you are based in the US then music purchases made on one machine can be set to automatically download to your other libraries and any iOS devices. The rest of the world, at present, is limited to downloading apps and iBooks purchased from the store. Coming soon is iCloud which will, for a fee, also allow non-store-purchased music to be backed up and synced to your computers or iOS devices via the cloud.
