Upgrade AA3 to CS5.5 _and_ from Win to Mac?

I am almost ready to make the big step, away from Windows and onto the Mac. I own AA3 for the Windows platform, can I simply purchase the Mac upgrade and expect the licensing to be alright or do I need to purchase a full version of AA 5.5?

According to the product FAQ about Macs and converting to Windows (the sensible thing to do!) in the Information section, you can transfer CS products between platforms, so I would imagine that you should be able to do this with an Audition upgrade too. However you look at it though, you have to contact Adobe directly to find out what the options are.

  • Moving iTunes library from WIN to MAC os X with Parallels desktop

    Hi Everyone,
    I just move from PC to MAC ! I would like to synchronize my itunes library (music and appli) with my iPhone / iPad in the new environment. I'm still using Win 7 under Parallels desktop under Mac os.
    What is the best solution ?
    Best regards and thank you for your attention and answer. Vincent

    I don't think you can do this without using the Consolidate function (which requires you to have "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked).
    However, if you were willing to accept a slight modification to your present set-up I think something could still be done. First you need to look at this article :
    http://lifehacker.com/software/itunes/geek-to-live--how-to-move-an-itunes-librar y-from-a-pc-to-mac-and-back-242468.php
    Assuming you've followed that route, you now have all your WAV files in iTunes. Here you can adapt the Genre tag to sort / create playlists from not only what iTunes puts in there, but your own additional Genre information also (for example I've combined all my Soul R&B and Disco genres by adding the SRBD suffix to each separate genre then using that suffix to pull them all up if I want). I also use the Comment tag to store release date (or in my case, Chart Entry date, but it's the same principle).
    Bottom line, I don't think you can exactly replicate your current setup, but I think you can modify it.

  • CS6 from Win to Mac

    Hi,
    I bought Adobe CS6 Design Standard (student&teacher) CZ for Win. I have DVD with installation.
    Now, I leave my PC with Win and I use my new MACBOOK. Can I use my serial number from Win?
    Can I get new CS6 installation files and new serial number for MAC?

  • The best way to move 2TB of data from Win to Mac

    Hello,
    what is the best way me to move 2TB (multiple files) data from windows to Mac?
    I think that over the LAN, even using crossover cable connecting 1GB NICs would be painfully long. (Windows disk is quite fragmented)
    If I put windows (ntfs partitioned) disc to one of Mac Pro bays, will Mac allows me to access the date on it?
    if I take the disk of the windows PC and put it to [eSATA Hard Drive docking solution|http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FWU2ES2HDK>, will Mac be able to mount it and let me copy the files from the windows disk?
    Any other ways of moving 2TB data from windows to Mac?

    Being able to read, also means, being able to mount said drive volumes.
    Windows 7 64-bit (Pro version if you have dual processor, which at this time really isn't needed that much) would work fine too.
    There are programs, some or most have their own limitations, allow Windows to read and write to Mac HFS+ file system volumes; or the reverse and allow Mac OS to read/write NTFS. None are what I call perfect.
    Becuase of limitations in older file systems and partitioning, Apple and Microsoft have implemented support for volumes larger than 2TB with GPT to replace aging Master Boot Record (Windows 7 even can't run off MBR with volumes larger than 1.9TB). Mac Pro uses GPT and can boot from very large volumes.
    eSATA docking stations. Depends on the interface and controller card if any, whether using SATA PCIe for one thing (you would not ever want to use USB though maybe USB3 PCIe if you can find one), therefore, use internal drive bays. Also, more concern with the drive temperature in one, they can get very warm in my experience.
    But maybe you do, maybe you don't, actually need to move data, maybe just have it read-only accessible.
    Putting the drive in a FW800 case would probably make the most sense, both now and for further use for booting (backup clones are handy and allowed) or for backup with Mac TimeMachine.
    But I would install Windows 7 on your Mac Pro. I use GPT for data drives in Windows and to read from in Mac OS environment.

  • Migrating from Win to Mac

    Hello,
    I´m hoping to get my new MBP 13" in a couple of days. Due to the fact that all my computers are running Windows Vista, XP and Server, I´m totally new in the world of mac.
    All I want to ask is: Is there any possibility to move my whole iTunes 8.2-library (with all podcasts, iphone backups/programs) from Windows Vista to my new macbook pro ? Do I need an external USB-HDD (formatted with NTFS at the moment) to transfer the data from system to system ? The problem from my point of view: iTunes for Windows stores the program folder, the library itself and the data in different folders.
    And, sorry for off-topic in this forum: Is it possible to move my pictures (JPG, from digital camera) from my Windows HomeServer to the mac (iPhoto 09) ?
    Thanks a lot.

    After reading some how-to´s, there a a few questions left.
    All I want is to transfer my whole iTunes-data from Windows to Mac OS X. Some how-to´s tell me just to copy the iTunes for Windows-content to a FAT32/NTFS external USB-HDD besides the *.itl-file (=iTunes library) to the MAC OS folders. Another how-to tells me to export the library under Windows to a *.XML-file. Afterwards I would have to change the drive-letter like C: to the MAC-format - that´s all. No *.itl-file, just copying the content to the MAC-folder and importing the library-XML-file into iTunes for MAC.
    Could someone help me out ? Which promises to be the better way ?
    On Choosing the *.itl-way: Do I have to change pathes ? Does it contain pathes/drive letters ?
    Thanks.

  • Just bought a mac.. want to change the ipod from win to mac

    how can i do that and save the playlist, purchases, etc ??

    You can transfer all of your song files from iPod to Mac using a third-party utility. Macs can read the Windows format, so it should work even if the iPod is formatted for Windows.
    The free utility of choice for Mac seems to be Senuti.

  • 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...

  • Installing CS5 from Win to Mac

    Just purchased a new Macbook Pro and I'm trying to migrate my CS5 license for Windows over to my new Mac.  Is this possible?  I have the installation DVD for Windows, but obviously it will not work on my Mac.  Is there somewhere I can download the Mac version and will my license for Windows work with my Mac.  I'm trying to avoid having to use BootCamp and would rather stay all Apple if possible.
    Thanks.

    No, it can't be done. Serials are platform specific. Migration is only possible for current versions, meaning you upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.

  • I have CS5.5 what do I upgrade to so I can switch from PC to MAC

    I read somewhere that you had to upgrade to the newest version of the software to be able to transfer it between operating systems does this mean an upgrade to CS6 or creative cloud? thanks for the help

    Since I'm not sure, I'd recommend that you ask Web Chat:

  • Changing plat forms from Win to Mac, Can we move 6 x Win licensed versions of Acrobat Pro 9 to Mac?

    We have 6 x Win Acrobat 9 Pro licenses - Any recommendations on how we could utilise these licensed versions on the new system and or is there an upgrade path?

    There is no normal upgrade path, all usual purchases stay in the same platform. So you could upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows.
    However, there is such a thing as a "crossgrade" to cross platforms. If you had Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows, and contacted Adobe they MIGHT sell a crossgrade. Equally they MIGHT sell you a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 11 Mac. They will not sell, so far as we hear, a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 9 Mac; licenses for unsupported versions are never sold.
    You might also want to look at volume licensing.

  • Switched from Win to Mac, need CS4

    New here, I appreciate any help!!  I have just switched from a windows machine to Mac.  On the windows machine I had an education version of CS4 Design Premium.  Now I need it to work with Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3.  I downloaded the mac version of the software, but the installer would not take my old windows serial number.  What can I do??
    I sincerely appreciate any help you are able to give.  I am working on a project, and I don't want to have to rebuy CS4 again!!  Thanks!

    You upgrade to CS5.5 and make the platform switch. If you're still eligible for education pricing, you just buy anew. Until then you can always run your Windows version via Bootcamp or Parallels.

  • Looking for a procedure to switch an iPod 2nd generation from Win. to Mac

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a procedure to switch/migrate an iPod 2nd generation from a Windows computer to a Mac running Snow Leopard.
    When the iPod was first connected to the Mac its content was imported fine. However, ever since when the iPod is connected to the Mac it will appear in the Finder as a "drive" but doesn't appear anymore in iTunes.
    I couldn't find any document in Apple's support web site about how to properly handle that type of migration.
    I would appreciate if somebody could point me to a documented procedure on how to resolve this, or provide any other type of suggestion.
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop files from win to mac?

    hallo!
    i'm waiting for my imac to come and in the meantime i'm making a cd cover in photoshop 5.0 on a win98SE.
    my platform kind of s*°ks and i try hard to work with big files, but now in less then a week my iMac G5 will be here and i'll start to finish the job of the cd with it...(so glad about it).
    does someone have an idea if could be a problem to transfer the .psd files from photoshop 5.0 win to a photoshop cs on mac?
    I really hope is gonna work!
    Thanx for any reply!
    Pietro

    you're saying that i can save the file with that option,maybe?
    You actually don't have a choice. All Windows files have an extension so the OS knows what application it's related to. To make Windows look more like a Mac (OS 9 and earlier at the time), they designed Windows '95 and later to hide known extensions. So even if you don't see .psd at the end of your document name, it's there. Just be aware that because it's hidden, it may look on the CD to the Mac as if it has no extension. That's no problem though. Just add it after you've copied the file off of the CD onto your Mac by renaming the file.
    how can i rasterize my font layers to maintain the design?
    I can't remember if Photoshop 5 has that option. But it would be Layer>Rasterize>Type.
    or maybe i better get the equivalent fonts for mac on internet?
    If it's a free font anyway, then sure. Otherwise, rasterizing the font layers will work just fine.
