Transfer from Mac to Windows and Downloading without serial number

Hello,
I have two questions:
1-)
Can I use CS5 on Mac and Windows interchangeably?
If not, is there a way to use CS5 (CD version) which was purchased for Windows on a Mac?  If so, what do I need to do?
2-)
Can Adobe download Creative Suite to a new computer without the serial number if the product was originally registered?
I recently moved from Korea back to America, unfortunately the movers packed my CDs by accident, and they won't be here for another two months. 
Thank you for taking the time to answer me,
Myriam

1-)

No.
The Platform Swap process only applies to current versions of Creative Suite. The last ever current version of Creative Suite is CS6.

You can certainly download the software. You don't ever need your discs again for that. However, the software (disc or download) will only ever install as a 30 day time limited trial version until you enter a valid serial number.
Thus you will always need your serial number for any re-install so you must keep it safe and handy.
Try logging in to your Adobe account on the Adobe website and see if the serial number can be found there.

  • 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.

  • Moved from Mac to Windows and DNxHD files will not relink

    Hi, as I have benn having problems getting '1080p/25 DNxHD 36' files to play smoothly on Mac I have booted into windows and thought I would give it a go.  I installed the Avid Codec pack and launched the project.
    It came up with the relink dialog and I started selecting the files (bit annoying, what if it was a big project, would I have to spend a day just relinking). I select the first file and got a error saying 'canont link media' and 'The selected file canot be relinked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)'. so I clicked cancel. I played the file in windows and it had audio and video.  I then tried importing it in premiere and it thinks it is audio only;(.
    Any ideas?
    Ben

    If you attempt to start a new project and import one of those files does it allow you to simply import them?

  • Tried to install CS4 from DVD on windows 7 computer but serial number is not accepted

    Have new PC with Windows 7 and want to install from DVD my CS4 application.
    At stage where to enter the serial number it stops me as the serail number is not recognized, and yet it is 100% correct.
    How can I overcome this problem?

    Thank you Kglad for your support....
    However it didn't get me what I wanted... to install my CS4...
    Finaly I got it done however, and that may be of my unawareness of the download.
    1> When downloading the files, one file has the extension. . 7z.
    2> After downloading that file it is shown as a document file in my download directory.... I didn't know how to go about it..
    3> Finally I got bright and checked on the internet what a . 7z file is and found that it is a zipped file in open source.
    4> I downloaded the 7.Zip zipper software and ran that on the subject file
    5> Guess what........ this opened the files and I proceeded to installCS4 without a flaw.
    I am responding extensively to your kind reaction in the hope someone else, as me not so computer literate/smart,
    will not loose several days to overcome this issue.
    To contact Adobe Chat is also not constantly possible, so we were just waiting and waiting.
    Adobe really should improve their support but maybe they are not interested much, as they may prefer to sell you their CLOUD solution.
    Thank you for bearing with me.//Ko

  • Box is missing, how to download without serial number

    Is there a way to download Photoshop without a serial number? I purchased Photoshop Elements a few years ago, had it downloaded on an old desktop. Recently got a new desktop, went to download Photoshop...could find the CD and the info booklet, but could not find the box. When I go to download it, it requires a serial number...which would be on the box...that I can't find...Any way to get around it? Or any way to look up the serial number I would have registered when I downloaded it the first time?

    Sign in to your Adobe account. You should find the serial number there.  You shouldn't need it to just download it, however.
    What version and operating system?
    Where are you downloading from?

  • Reformatting from Mac to Windows and hitting issues.

    Recently got a new Windows computer that I moved my library to, so I needed to reformat my iPod. I was prompted by windows to format the disk, and I did using the default values (file system: xFAT; allocation unit size: 256kb) and then attempted to restore via iTunes. It tried and gave me an error (1415, I think? It directed me to this page). So I restarted the computer to try again, but now iTunes is telling me that it's detecting a corrupted iPod. It can't seem to restore it. Not sure where to go from here.
    Any help with being able to restore the iPod properly would be great.

    The iPod is probably OK, since the Restore works on the Mac.  And iTunes on Windows should reformat it for Windows during the Restore.  Don't know why it does't...
    Since you have both Mac and Windows to play with, try this...  On the Mac, connect the iPod (with iTunes NOT running) and open Disk Utility.  The iPod should appear in the sidebar.  Select the iPod device (not the volume indented below) in the sidebar.  Go to the Partition tab.  For Partition Layout, select 1 Partition.  Click Options, select Master Boot Record, and OK.  Name it whatever you want.  For Format, select MS-DOS (FAT).  Click Apply.
    When that completes, which should be in less than a minute, eject and disconnect the iPod.  Connect it to the Windows PC, and run iTunes.  Whether you are prompted or not, do a Restore.  Any difference?

  • Help needed - transfer from Mac to Windows PC

    Hello All,
    Need assistance regarding setting up an ipod touch that I recently purchased. The device was purchased from an individual that used a Mac for syncing. I will be using a Windows PC. How do I go get the ipod to recognize the PC now? Also, the person I purchased the device from has a load of good music and movies loaded. Is there any way I can copy these first (onto my hard-drive) before syncing with my PC (I am afraid that I PC would delete everything that is currently stored on the ipod as I may need to reset it). If not possible to copy the files onto my PC first, could I possibly copy on any other Mac?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best wishes.

    On the IPT, go to Settings > General > Reset and clear all settings. Have the current version of iTunes on your PC. Plug in. In iTunes, select the IPT and use the Restore function to return the IPT to the factory state.

  • Transfer From Mac to Windows

    I recently loaded up a 1 gig flash drive with music from my G5 and gave it to a friend with a Dell laptop and his iTunes would not receive the songs. I import in AAC and I gave the drive to another guy with a pc and iTunes and he had no issues. Any thoughts?

    Perhaps your 1st friend tried to "Import" instead of "Add to Library..." from iTunes Menu - File.

  • Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
    Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

    Hi, Hugo,
    In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
    Open the folder
        your home folder > Library > Preferences
    and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
    Then try again to launch GarageBand.

  • 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.

  • I deleted itunes from my old comp and downloaded to my new one but wont let me sync it without wiping it ?

    I recently bought me a new laptop. So I deleted my Itunes from my old computer and downloaded it to this one. Now when I try to hook it up to this comp it says"that it can only be linked to one computer at a time"? Now how do I get it not to erase all my songs and link to my laptop?

    What are you trying to hook up to your computer?
    So if I deleted it from my old computer there is no way I can put it on my new computer?
    Put it on from where?

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • 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
