Switching Photoshop CS5 from my PC to my MAC.

I just got a new mac and want to put my photoshop CS5 onto it instead of my old PC. Is there a way to switch my license from a PC to a new computer?
Thanks!

There is, but not for CS5 any more.
Adobe has a platform transfer procedure (for perpetual license products) whereby you can terminate your Windows license and swap to a Mac license but it's only applicable to current versions of the software (CS6)

The Creative Cloud products are all multi-platform so they can be installed on Mac and/or Windows.

Can I update to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop 5.0 LE

Can I update to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop 5.0 LE

Umm, no. That is an hoplessly out of date software that no longer qualifies for any upgrade pricing. if there ever was, it probably would have qualified up to CS2 or something like that... You will have to buy a completely new license and the current version is CS6, not CS5.

How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.

To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

I purchased PHOTOSHOP CS5 from eBay. I can't install.

I purchased PHOTOSHOP CS5 from eBay. The seller contacted Adobe and had them deactivate all previous installations of the product. He told me to go ahead and install and put in the coupon code and I should get the SN. I did and it tells me that my Coupon Code is not good. It is a version for teachers. I am a teacher and do have an Adobe account. I am finding it impossible to contact Adobe Customer Support - an actual person. What can I do?

Usually the seller deactivates from the computer, but I don't understand this "coupon code". When I purchased Adobe CS5 from Adobe, all I needed and got was the 24 digit serial number. If you were not given a serial number, something is not good.

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Upgrade install problem Photoshop CS5 from CS2, MacOS 10.6.8

Hello,
My wife was using Adobe Photoshop CS2 for a long time. We purchased a Photoshop CS5 upgrade in 2010 through Amazon, but she never installed it after reading about problems other people had with the upgrade. It was still in its shrink wrap seal until last night.
Then she recently went to upgrade her Mac laptop to 10.9 Mavericks from 10.6 Snow Leopard, and discovered that Photoshop CS2 will no longer work since CS2 was a PowerPC application. No problem - we thought we'd just finally install that CS5 upgrade first. The Amazon web page where we bought the product stated that this was a valid upgrade path, so we thought we would not have a problem. However, when we went to do the install, we received an "Inconsistency in the installer database" error.
Going to the support live chat, we were told by Yaseer that we could no longer upgrade from CS2 to CS5 because the CS2 "server" was shut down, and we should go to the forums for help with this instead.
Now what? We own a legal copy of PS CS2, and bought a legal upgrade copy of PS CS5 with the understanding that this was a legal upgrade path, purchased from a reputable dealer (Amazon), but now it doesn't work. There must be something that can be done here.
I'm not using my wife's Adobe id which she used to register her product, but I can provide that id as well as the serial numbers for CS2 and the CS5 upgrade.

run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
restart your computer
then try to install cs5.
if you're prompted for a cs2 serial number and your cs2 number fails, use the one linked from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
Can I upgrade to CS5?
If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

Hi,
I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
What to do?
Regards,
Menno

Menno,
I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.

Invoking Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4 asks for Camera Raw Plug-in 7.0

I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom 4.0. When I try to invoke "Photo / Edit in Photoshop CS 5.1" I get the warning "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.0 for full compatibility. Please update the camera raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu". However, the update function in Photoshop CS5.1 says that there are no updates available and searching adobe.com I can find no references to Camera Raw plug-in 7.0. What is one to do? Thanks.

No, the warning is not the issue. As I've said, "supported cameras" are not the problem.
I do initial processing on my images, then using Lightroom CMD E push them to Photoshop for further editing. The message says "7.0 may be required for full compatibility" should I ignore that warning and click "Open Anyway" because there really aren't any compatibility issues?
LR 4 Develop module is much different than LR 3, just as CS5 version of ACR is different than what I've seen in the CS6 beta. My assumption is there would be compatibility issues - as the warning says - when using LR4's develop engine then passing it on to CS5. I don't use ACR in Photoshop since I use Lightroom, I use Photoshop for detailed image editing in conjunction with the Nik Software selective tool run as a window within Photoshop.
So how about a clear answer: Just click "Open Anyway" and everything will work great? When I first work on an image in LR4, then further edit it in Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7 installed, Save and Close the image in Photoshop sending it back to Lightroom it will all work just like yesterday when I did all that in Lightroom 3 without any error messages?

Switching Photoshop CS6 from 32bit to 64bit on Windows 7 64bit system.

I installed Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 64bit machine but Photoshop seems to be running in as X32 and only recognizes about 1/2 or 3 GB of the 6GB of available RAM. How can I switch Photoshop to 64bit.

CS6 should install the 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system.
Don't you have this in your Start | Programs list:

Photoshop CS5.1 cannot be opened with Mac 10.6.8

Hi, I just installed the photoshop CS5.1 but once I start the program I got an error message box with below notes. Can any one please advise what I need to do? I heard that I need reinstall the OS but I don't have the disc since the OS comes with the machine.
Please guide me step by step as I'm not a computer expert.
Thanks

Problems Updating Photoshop CS5 to ACR 6.4 on Mac OS X

I have version 6.0.0.205 of ACR on a Mac OS X 10.6.7 system with Photoshop CS5 10.0.4. I tried several ways to update to ACR 6.4, but no success yet. What I have tried is below:
1) Using the update within Photoshop (Help -> Updates says applications are all updated).
2) Using the Camera_Raw_6_4_1_updater.dmg updater. It says "Update is not applicable"
I have tried rebooting my Mac. I have tried restarting Photoshop. I tried reinstalling Photoshop. I tried unstalling other versions of Photoshop (mostly by dragging them out of the Applications folder).
Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris.
PS. I need the update to ACR for a new Nikon camera I have purchased. Its RAW images don't work with my version of ACR.

That's because there's no such file on a Mac.
".8bi" is an extension that denotes a Windows file, which would not belong in a Mac—ever.
On a Mac the correct Camera Raw plug-in is labeled "Camera Raw.plugin".
Tangentially, I recommend downloading and using the free Easy Find utility, which will find any file on your Mac, including many that are off-limits to the intrusive, useless Spotblight.

Photoshop CS5 crashing when printing on a mac

I was wondering if anyone has come across the following problem and can help me out.
When sending my a document to print Photoshop closes and I get the following error message.
If anyone has seen this before and has any suggestions i would be greatly appreciative.
This only happens in Photoshop (version 12.1 x64) , all other Adobe programs print fine, including illustrator.
If this is in the wrong section would someone be able to move it to the correct section. Thanks.
