Switching Subscription from PC to Mac

I'm a student looking to sign up for Adobe Creative Cloud/Photography. I currently have a PC, and would be installing the software on this computer. I may upgrade my computer choice to a Mac within the next year. Would I be able to maintain my subscription from a PC to a Mac, or would I need to cancel and re-subscribe?

you can maintain your subscription.  ie, no need to cancel and re-subscribe.
you'll just start your mac, navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/, sign in with your adobe id and start downloading your apps.

  • 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.

  • How to switch subscription from PC to Mac

    I subscribed to Adobe CC on a PC and have since switched hardware to Mac.  How do I move my subscription?

    You do not move it, you install it like you did on the pc.  Install the Cloud manager application, sign in, install the applications.  You can retain the pc installation as a backup if you wish, or you can disable it by signing out.

  • 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!

  • 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

    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.

  • Is it possible to switch photoshop from PC to MAC

    Hi,
    I had a lot of problems with my PC (what a shock, eh?), and had been contemplating one day switching to a Mac instead. I was just wondering though, currently I have adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and Photoshop CC on this PC.
    If I do buy a Mac, redownload and install photoshop there, would I have to buy new subscription for those? And would there be any issues with working on my current photoshop files between the two types of computers?
    Thank you.

    A Cloud subscription allows you to use either or both platforms.  Since you are allowed to have two working installations you could have one of each with the Cloud.

  • Switching subscription from "Photoshop for Photographers" to a full yearly 30$/month subsciption

    Hi! I've switched from "Photoshop for Photographers" to a full yearly 30$/month subsciption, but the "Photoshop for Photographers" still stays. Is that a bug, or a feature? Also, if it's a feature, should I early-cancel it, or will that change my new subscription price?

    i don't see it as much of a feature because you're getting nothing for that $10/mo.  cancel it.

  • 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...

  • Invalid serial number/switching serial from pc to mac?

    I have two problems/questions….
    Number one, the serial number off of my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web package does not work. When I enter it in my products it says 'Please enter a valid serial number'. Do I need to install the program using the disc on a PC in order to activate it?
    Second question, the Adobe Suite I have is for PC and I just got a mac for Christmas so I would like to install it on the mac instead. I have downloaded the .dmg file from the Adobe website. Do i need a different serial number? If so how do I go about that?
    thanks!
    L

    Yes, you need different serial numbers. Serials are platform specific and you are wasting your time trying to install a PC serial on a Mac. You need to run a platform swap.
