Transfer CS5 from pc to mac

I am a student and I own the student version of CS5 for a PC. My PC is dying, so I purchased a Mac. How can I transfer my CS5 from my PC to my Mac?

You cannot. The license is operating system specific: Windows only or Mac only.
Platform swaps are only possible for current versions (currently CS6).
Your options now are to purchase a new CS6 Student version for Windows or upgrade ("crossgrade") to a commercial version of CS6 Win or join the Cloud https://creative.adobe.com/plans

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

    How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

    Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

    how do I transfer contents from my old mac back up disk

    See this excellent write-up by Pondini ( a regular here, and resident Time Machine expert) on setting up a new Mac from a TM backup from an old machine.
    Here.
    It describes using Setup Assistant, a much better way than using Migration Assistant in creeating a seamless transition of your old applications, data files, and users. Normally you only have one opportunity to use it, upon first boot of your MacBook.

  • HT204053 transfer photos from iPhone to mac using iCloud?

    transfer photes from iphone to mac using icloud ?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac and launch iPhoto.  It will detect the photos and indicate those that are not already in the library so you can import them.
    Be careful in letting iPhoto delete the photos from the iPhone.  It's best to delete them manually from the iPhone so you have more control over what gets deleted.
    Once you have your iPhone and iPhoto setup with Photo Stream to automatically import all new photos taken with your iPhone it'll be a seamless transfer:

  • Trying to transfer CS5 from Vista to Apple Imac

    HI.
       I purchased Photoshop CS5 in July 2010, I was using a Medion pc running Vista . On 30th may 2012 i phoned yourselves (case no.0208471813) to say that i was going to replace my failing computer with an Apple Imac & wanted to know if i could transfer my CS5 from Vista to Imac . I was told yes i could but it could only be done once, since then my computer has died & i have bought an Apple Imac. I phoned yourselves today to find out what i had to do to transfer CS5 over & to my amazement i was told that you could not do it because CS5 has been replaced with CS6. I am very disappointed that you didn't advise me when i made my first enquiry that this would not be possible once CS6 was available. So i am asking again is there any way that this programe can be transfered over as this was not a cheap item and i cannot afford to purchase CS6.  I have a Mac OSX  version 10.7.4. with 4GB memory.  I am sorry that this was such a long message . with regards  Gary Hampson

    First of all, you are not addressing Adobe here.  We are all users just like you in these user-to-user forums.
    The license is totally platform specific, and so is the program itself.  The Windows serial number is no good on a Mac version.  The binary itself only runs on a Windows box.
    Before CS6 shipped, you could have arranged with Adobe customer service for what Adobe calls a "cross-grade" at a nominal cost by providing a letter of "proof of destruction" of your Windows copy and deactivating said Windows version.
    CS5 is no longer being sold, so your only path is to get a "cross-grade" to CS6 by paying the upgrade price.
    If you wish to pursue your case, you need to call Adobe on the phone.  There's no one here in this forum who can help you.

  • Transfer product from PC to Mac

    Is it possible to transfer my Indesign CS5 from my outdated PC to a new MACbook Pro?

    You can also run Windows on your Mac and run boot-camp (Windows directly on a Mac) or use Parallels (which I use) or Fusion that emulates a PC so if you install Windows you can run Windows and Mac simultaneously. Boot Camp and Parallels still requires a Windows install disk. The nice thing about getting CS6 is that you get all the new features.
