Upgrade a Windows product to Mac?

Hey there,
in September 2012 I will start my apprenticeship as a digital media designer. I'm sure, that I will need the Adobe Crative Suite CS 6 Student & Teacher Version to do my work at home.
At the moment I have an Windows 7 computer and, like I said, my apprenticeship starts this year.. So, I will buy an Windows - Version of the Creative Suite CS6 ...
Later, I guess in 2 years, if I had save enough money, I would like to buy a Apple iMac... But, of course, I don't want to buy the same Creative Suite CS6 for Mac OS again..
Is it possible, to upgrade from Windows to Mac without buying the whole programm again?
Thanks for answering.
-- Sorry for my english, I come from Germany

Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
It's mostly irrelevant for you, though. As long as you are entitled to edu pricing and want to take advantage of it, you do not get any upgrades. You simply buy a new version for your student discount or upgrade to the normal commercial version, which in terms of cost is pretty much the same. And if you're really that worried, jsut go Creative Cloud. Cloud users can migrate platforms at the click of a button...

Accidentally purchased CS6 upgrade for Windows instead of Mac, how do I exchange it?

I recently upgraded our CS5 to CS6 and purchased it through the Adobe website. There was no option for choosing a particular platform (Mac or Windows) during the purchase process. I didn't realize that it was for Windows until I tried downloading my upgrade. How do I exchange this download to the Mac platform?

Well, actually there was, but super-easy to miss. All you have to do is click on Edit at the Shopping cart where you would choose "upgrade" and "Mac".
You can't use a Windows s/n to activate the Mac version. Serial numbers are platform specific.
What you will be doing is to sign in, go through the Support Portal to request an return or exchange.

It's a mess I know, but at least you can.

Well, I'll be... I just went to the purchase Page and they got rid of the CC popup that started this confusion.

Thanks in advance!

While it is possible, doing so is in direct violation of Apple's EULA. It is illegal. As others have said, search before posting. Furthermore, Apple has designed OSX for a known set of hardware that they design themselves. If you do manage to get it installed, it likely won't work as advertised.
Given your current setup, I would suggest that you try to sell off your current laptop and get an MacBook Air (or MacBook Pro if you can get enough from your laptop). The MacBook Air currently starts at just under 1k - or just over for the larger screen.
Would you mind providing your working budget?

Upgrade from windows version to mac

Can I upgrade from elements 7 for windows to elements 13 for Mac? I have a OS X 10.9.4

Yes, it doesn't matter which platform the old version was on when it comes to upgrade pricing.

Upgrade of Windows Product Key

I upgraded my product key on Windows XP Professional on the same computer and now am getting messages during sync with my 5th Generation iPod that "Some of the items in the iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer". How do I get it to recognize the computer with the new Windows XP Product Key?

Try playing one of the affected songs in iTunes. Do you get asked to authorise? If so, and if you do, do the songs transfer accross next time you sync?

Just upgraded from windows cs3 to mac cs4 - preferences, fonts, etc to cs4?

could someone explain how to make the mac CS4 work like the windows CS3 - thanks in advance

"... the first step should probably be to save and transfer any customized
presets like Brushes, Gradients, Patterns, Styles, Actions, … to the
new machine and store them in the appropriate Presets-folders."
I did exactly that, and the only trouble I had was that some of my older brushes no longer worked. When I moved from CS3 to CS 4 it was in both formats, and I literally use the same brushes, custom shapes, gradients, and actions in OS X and Windows Vista. The only difference between the two is that on the Mac, my brush list (about 900 or so) loads in a single scrolable column. In Windows, it loads in row after row until it runs out of screen about the time it gets to the M's and I have to manually load anything beyond that. Which is why I prefer to do my photoshopping on the Mac.

Upgrading from windows version to Mac

I have Creative Suites 5.5 Master Collection and would like to get the Mac version. How do I go about switching?

You have to order CS6 and make the switch. Platform swaps only apply to the latest current version (outside of CC, that is).

Will upgrading ram improve speed in Mac and windows (VMware fusion)?

I Am using VMware fusion for music production and that program requires a lot of workspace. I have a MacBook Pro 4gb ram and when I turn VMware on it goes to 2 gb ram in Mac and 2 gb ram in windows. My Mac speed is normal when VMware fusion is turned off but when I turn it on my Mac is very slow. Will upgrading ram improve speed in mac and also in windows (windows is also very slow)
Btw my english isn't very good

Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM hungry. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
In your case it will most likely help. You should plan on at least 8 GBs or more, depending upon what your model supports.

So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

Upgrade from Windows version to a Mac Version?

All,
I started on Director over 10 years ago but it all died off.
Seems it has rekindled a bit with version 12?
My license (still have the box, CD's and license keys) are for Windows.
If/When I upgrade, can I specify a MAC license so I can develop for the iPad?
Or are you going to make me buy a full version?

ooh. Found the answer. Apparently I can

Cross upgrade Windows CS3 to Mac CS4.

Hello,
I am new in this forum.
I want to upgrade my old Window CS3 to Mac CS4. Does anybody here had this kind of upgrade? If yes. How long did take you to get the upgrade from the customer service?

I have a good friend who wanted to crossgrade Adobe's applications from Windows to Mac. Here's a quote:
Our senior editor, Kathleen, has been trying to do a platform change/upgrade request on our CS3 Production Bundle since APRIL, and has been getting nothing but a runaround from the published customer service entities. Two case numbers, 8 phone calls, promised call backs from supervisors that never appear, lost faxes, the eternal circle of handoffs (you need to talk to sales/no, sales can't help you, please talk to customer service/wash, rinse, repeat) --- you name it, and not one helpful person in the mix. It's been two and one half months. Meantime, they have our shipping money and we have an outdated bundle for the incorrect platform for our current needs.
Honestly, I'm not inclined to bash a company's support without being given good reason, but this has to be one of the most frustrating experiences I've seen with any tech company, anytime. In my editing career I've never had to make a posting like this. Can anyone point us in a better direction, or if you have a contact behind the "hold-music curtain", forward them this email.
This was published on June 29th, 2009.
Here was the solution, which was posted July 9th, 2009:
Longtime list friend L. W. had the best suggestion though -- he forwarded my complaint to his friend Simon, a top executive in charge of video/film (dynamic) media applications at Adobe. I'm happy to say that the attitude towards customer service at this level is excellent, and within hours Simon initiated a review of our case which resulted in our getting the long-promised software yesterday -- and this case has started a dialogue within the company to avoid problems like this in the future. I think this proactive approach to accountability at the highest levels says good things about Adobe for the future. Thank you, Simon. The business world needs many more like you.
Apparently Simon was not able to make any real changes inside the Adobe Support bureaucracy...

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 on mac?

I currently run Windows Vista 32-bit on a separate partition I created with Boot Camp. I am looking to use a Windows 7 64 bit upgrade disc that I purchased to upgrade to windows 7. I am aware I will have to do a custom install to move from 32 bit to 64 bit and lose all of my data, I am fine with this. Is it as simple as running my mac in windows, inserting the cd, and running the upgrade just like I would do on a PC? If anyone has done this or knows what I need to do that would be great. Thanks

Alright, found out what I needed to do to install it. It is very simple. Insert the DVD into the drive then restart. While booting hold option to switch which drive to boot from. Click on the Windows DVD while holding 'C'. The DVD will boot and you are ready to go. For my case I needed to do a custom install so I made sure to select that option instead of upgrade. Also just make sure you select the correct partition that already has vista installed.

I have Windows Vista and my iTunes is v 10.5, I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. Everytime i try to update my phone to iOS5 it stops on Backing up and freezes. What can i do? Do i need to upgrade my phones on a Mac? Please help!

Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.
