Upgrade from Lightroom 3 on Windows to Lightroom 4 on Mac

I originally purchased a boxed LR2 on Windows, then upgraded (via theAdobe store) to LR3 on Windows.
I'm now in the process of switching to a Mac and have been running the Lightroom 4 trial which has now expired.
I want to upgrade to LR4 on the Mac now (i.e. purchase an upgrade license) but I'm not sure how best I should do it.
If I purchase an upgrade license for LR4 (on the Mac) I assume it'll want to know the prior serial numbers. Should I be able to use my preious ones no problem or will I have to do some sort of platform swap?
I notice on both the boxed & upgrade versions it says "Mac/Win" so I'm hoping I should only have to enter the previous two serials?
I just want to make sure of what's needed before I pull the trigger on an order...
Regards,
Paul

Many thanks, just completed the purchase install & all is well

Upgrade from CS3 in Windows to CS4 in Mac

I am currently running Adobe CS3 Illustrator and Photoshop.
At present I am using this on a Windows platform but am very intersted in converting to a Mac.
I would like to know if I can just upgrade my software from Windows to Mac and pay the smaller upgrade fee for the software, rather than paying for brand new software from scratch.
I am doing this through work and I am trying to get exact costs etc so that I can forward over to my boss.
Hope somebody can help.
Cheers

You need to contact Adobe Customer Service. At one time, I changed platforms (in the other direction) while purchasing an upgrade. But I don't know what Adobe's policy is. This is a user-to-user forum. For business purposes, you'll have to contact Adobe to make it happen anyway.

Upgrade from CS3 for Windows to CS5 for Mac?

I recently bought a MacBook and would like to upgrade to CS5 ans install this version on my MacBook even though I originally bought CS3 for Windows. Is this possible?

Does this involve the Certificate of Software Destruction stuff ?
I mean can I now just buy a Windows based CS 5 Web Premium upgrade edition,
and use my CS3 Mac MasterCollection serial as the origin point for the upgrade ?
I see now for example Photoshop Elements 9 has both win and mac in the package (??)

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
Thanks

Hi
I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

Hi
Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

Ok, I tried this and it said I needed to download and install Nvidia graphics driver version 309.08, I downloaded and installed this version just fine. I done option 2 again and now it says download and install version 353.30. I download this version but got an error when I tried to install it that says THIS GRAPHICS DRIVER COULD NOT FIND COMPATIBLE GRAPHICS HARDWARE. Do you know what I should do now to fix this?

Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc

It says, downloading.. but nothing happens.
I tried this on several occasions. Any one can help?

Ed61 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the update to determine the cause of the failure. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro. I have tried loading in onto a mac book with no luck. I think its because my original FCP 1 loades using OS9 and because the new Mac Pro does not have an old operating system on it I cant load my original FCP.

You should upgrade to FCP 5.1 or 6 as Jerry says.
However, if you are desperate you could try this :-
Install just your FCP 3 upgrade and also put in your FCP 1 serial number when asked.
Whenever you try to open FCP you will probably get an error message. Click the "esc" key and FCP should open.
