Transfer CS3 from Win to an iMAC?

Can I transfer my CS3 for Windows to am iMac?

No.
The Windows serial number is Windows only and will not work on a Mac.
There is a platform swap process (swap a Win serial number to Mac and vice versa) but it only applies to current versions i.e. CS6
Order product | Platform, language swap
As an existing CS3 customer you can join the Adobe Cloud for a discounted price (first 12 months only). Cloud software can be used on both Win and/or Mac for no extra cost.

  • Transfer CS3 from Win to Mac - no upgrade?? really??

    Hi
    I've just had a chat with an adobe Rep, and I'm 95% sure that what they told me is wrong (cos it sounds too good to be true!) so thought I'd ask if anyone can verify it....
    I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows. I have a Mac on the way, and want to switch.
    I was under the impression I'd have to pay to updgrade to CS4, and then switch. But what I was told was that:
    - I send in the letter of destruction and they'll email when effective
    - Apart from that, I just put my install CD in the mac (it works on both) and use my current serial number.
    So - no need to upgrade, no cost, no new media - just email over a copy of the letter of destruction.
    I've attached a copy of the transcript if anyone's interested.
    Can anyone verify this?
    Thanks
    Kieran

    Cheers
    My Mac arrived yesterday, so I put the DVD in (it's a download only version, rather than a shipped box) and there didn't seem to be a Mac installer. In sheer naiveity even tried running setup.exe (!) but no joy.
    Other info I've read since does seem to imply that this rep was wrong. Does anyone else know more about the process, or, if the rep was right, how I go about installing from that DVD?
    Cheers - Mac noob...

  • What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

    Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite.   I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc.  I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking.  I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them.  I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated.  I use them with TM for backup.  Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?  I am confused about backup not preserving my photos.  Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access.  Thanks a bunch!

    connie,
    I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
    if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives.  One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos,  and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.
    Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?
    You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
    Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) .  See this link:  iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

  • Extremely slow transfer rate from iOmega eGo to iMac

    I am using a brand new 27" iMac and an iOmega eGo 2TB hard drive (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374133,00.asp). The drive has it's own power source and is connected to my computer via USB.
    I'm trying to transfer files from the hard drive to my new iMac and the transfer rate is painfully slow. They are files from my old MacBook which I sold last week.
    When the disc is not mounted, it seems to function normally - it's blue indicator light is consistently on and it sounds right. However, when I mount the disc and begin using it - in this instance to transfer files, it goes extremely slow. The blue light will mostly remain off, then interminnently flash on and onscreen a small amount of data will move.
    Through disk utility I was able to successfully verify and repair the disc, but it's still behaving this way. Can anyone help? SOS!

  • Trying to transfer songs from MacBook Pro to iMac

    I'm trying to transfer songs from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I want to just copy and transfer the songs to the iMac. What is the easiest and fastest way to do this process? The thing is I still want to be able to play the songs still in my MBP and is it possible to sync to both iMac and MBP?

    akl8806,
    If you have a 6-pin male-to-male Firewire cable the easiest way is target disk mode.
    Start up your MBP holding down the "T" key until you see the firewire logo.
    Connect the Firewire cable to the MBP and then the iMac.
    The MBP will show up as a external hard drive on the iMac. Go to MBP's Drive/Users/Your username/Music/
    Copy the iTunes Library to the same place on your iMac's drive.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Can I transfer files from MBP to an iMac over my wireless network?

    I am always having to transfer things from one computer to another and I am tired of using flash drives and DVD's and such to do it. Those ways are a lot of trouble. I have tried bluetooth but its to slow it seems. I know that I could probably do this over my home wireless network but I don't know how. Could someone help me out here? Is it pretty easy?
    TIA!

    As for the login issue .. do you have any spaces in your Admin log-in name? If so, try typing in your Admin name with no spaces (Ex: mine is Gary A Mullinax when viewed on my G5 tower; however, when I connect with my MBP, I have to use garyamullinax for the log-in name .... then the normal password).
    I can only suspect that there has been a setting overlooked on the MBP side that is keeping you from connecting from your iMac.
    Good luck.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

    How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

    Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
    To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to move the photos or events
    To move the entire iPhoto library
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Transfer music from iPad to new iMac much too slow

    I want to transfer my music and videos, but not my apps, from my 128 GB iPad Air to my new iMac/Mavericks.
    I tried to do this by
    Connecting the iPad to a USB port on the iMac
    Initiating "Transfer Purchases" from iTunes
    Unfortunately, this is ridiculously slow, it would take hours I estimate. For one think I have about 40 gig of apps and that takes forever to transfer. I thought that iMac supported USB 3?
    Is there some reasonably quick way to do this? I can't sit around for 8 hours with my iPad hooked up to my Mac, I need it.

    There are a lot of complaints about this. The bottleneck seems to be the iPad Air.
    Syncing is slower on iPad Air

    There are several different ways....

    But to be honest, I prefer just copying the Photos onto a Flash Drive or Hard Drive and import them into iPhoto on the other Mac.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 6 to iMac?

    How to transfer just recent photos from iPhone 6 to my iMac?

    Connect the iPhone to a USB port on your iMac and launch iPhoto. The Import panel will show you the photos grouped by "new photos" and "already imported".  Select the new photos you want to import in the panel and press "Import Selected".

    Leave both computers plugged into the router - that's probably the safest network configuration.

  • Transfer iTunes from MDD to Intel iMac?

    I am finally going to purchase a new iMac (20", more then likely the 2.4Ghz). I am currently using a 1.25 SP G4 MDD, and the only thing that I want from this computer is my iTunes and pictures on iPhoto, so is there a way to connect the two computers and transfer the data from iTunes and iPhoto from the MDD to the iMac? I didn't know where else to post this.

    Ok....I finally got around to trying the 'solution', but I think that I marked it solved too soon.
    For some reason holding down the "T" key does not take my MDD to the firewire screen. I have tried numerous times, no dice.
    I tried setting up Migration Assistant on the MDD, but it does not have an option to Import To, only Import From.
    I finally figured out how to connect the two via an ethernet cord, and managed to be able to 'remotely' listen to my old iTunes library, but I can only import one song at a time.
    So, is there still a way to transfer the entire library as a whole?

  • How to transfer data from Centris 650 to iMac?

    Hello community
    I have inherited a vintage Centris 650 running OS 7.
    The computer is perfectly working and it is connected to an external SCSI HD (original internal Apple disk encased in a box after upgrading the internal HD) to an IOMEGA ZIP100 SCSI drive and to a Magnetooptical HammerDisk w/r). The chain is properly terminated and all components work.
    I would like to transfer some data from the different components to a more up to date system. Particularly I would like to transfer data to an iMac (end 2006) running OS 10.7.5 (eventually I could bring the system into the proximity of a new generation i/7 iMac but I think this will make the generational gap larger and communication even more difficult)
    Is there any way to transfer files betwwen the Centris and the 2006 iMac?
    The centris has an Ethernet port and I found a Dayna (EasyNet connector) compatible withteh centris and iMac Ethernet ports but I don’t know if this is sufficient and how should I  set the communications between the two computers
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated
    Karba650

    José,
    If the Centris 650 has the (optional) built-in CD-ROM drive, or if an external CD-ROM drive is connected to the SCSI port, it is actually quite easy to copy System 7.5.3 and other downloaded files to the hard disk (thus eliminating the need for floppy transfers). As I indicated earlier, one could burn a CD-R disc containing all .bin files. You may want to burn the disc at a low speed (such as 2X). It is even possible to burn the disc on a Linux or Windows PC (a data disc with an ISO 9660 file system). If your present 7.1 system has the required CD-ROM helper files, the disc should appear on the Desktop on the Centris 650. The .bin files can then be decoded by StuffIt Expander (4.0.1), and a complete System 7.5.3 can be installed.
    Once the Centris 650 is running under System 7.5.3 (with the Network Software Selector set to Open Transport networking), configuring TCP/IP can be done in a few steps. Open the TCP/IP control panel. "Connect via: Ethernet" and "Configure: Using DHCP Server" are (usually) the only settings needed. Close the control panel window.
    You do not have to install a web browser, an FTP client or an email program at all if you place a small server on the Centris 650. One example could be NetPresenz 4.1.
    http://archive.info-mac.org/_Internet/
    Connect the Centris 650 and the modern computer to two LAN ports of a router. Disconnect any incoming Internet (cable to a WAN port) and switch off Wi-Fi (if possible). That would give you a purely local connection.
    A QuickStart document describes how to set up NetPresenz as an FTP server.
    Place all files to be transferred from the Centris to a modern computer in the chosen shared folder.
    Turn on the server on the Centris 650. Note the IP Address shown in the TCP/IP control panel window (or the server's log window). The IP address depends upon the router (for instance, something like 192.168.0.nnn). Launch a web browser on a modern computer (Mac or PC). Enter ftp:// followed by this IP address in the browser's address field. Do not forget ftp:// (not http://) before the IP address. The files in the shared folder should now appear on the modern computer. Alternatively, a dedicated FTP client could be used to access the files.
