Use of Suite on a PC and Mac?

Is it possible to buy a pc disc of a suite and use the serial code to utilize the programs on a mac as a secondary device?

Don't know too much about Creative Cloud licensing as I am on a perpetual license and I don't like Windows enough to run one. I wonder if you can de-authorize a software and shift machines the same way you can with a dongle. That would be nice.
I don't suggest running an application via emulation. Except for bootcamp. Most emulation software gives a penalty hit, meaning that you will get much less than ideal performance in the software.
But do check with an authorized 3rd party reseller if you plan on getting a perpetually licensed version, because 3rd party resellers do present a license certificate with a Mac and Win S/N. Direct purchase from Adobe does not. A 3rd party reseller once told me that this allowed you to switch platforms. I don't really know what the deal is with this.

    I am considering using LastPass with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X10.7.  Preliminary due dilligence suggests various problems with loading and running the plugin with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X which appear to be unresolved.  I will greatly appreciate any user experience with LastPass on the current Mac OS and Safari platforms, as well as any suggestions (i.e., "tips")  for installing and using the plugin (or another more compatible plugin).  Thanks for your consideration.

    Solution was to stop rapport, quit and restart Safari, turn rapport back on, then quit and restart Safari, all now working.

  • How can I use the same catalog on PC and MAC?

    I keep my catalog and photos on an external hard drive.  I have both PCs and a MAC and I would like to be able to access the same catalog of photos on both my PC and my MAC using LR2.  I am using v 2.3.  The problem is the location of the photo is referenced differently on the PC than on the MAC.  Does any one have any idea how I might accomplish this?
    If this is impossible, then can anyone at least tell me how I can convert my catalog file (lrcat) so that the location of photos that are currently referenced using a drive and path (eg, p:\myphotos\...) to a format that can be used on the MAC so Lightroom running on the MAC will know about the photos on my external drive?

    I have figured out the answer to my question.  Thanks to those who tried to help.
    First of all, I found that Lightroom's 'Locate folder' didn't work for me.  It might have if I had tried that the first time I tried to convert things, but I had tried to locate a few photos already, so I was always told that the folder I was trying to locate was already in the catalog.
    Breifly, what did work was to locate individual photos using the ? you see on the photo when in grid mode in the Library view and specify that other photos nearby should also be relocated.  By choosing a photo at the top of the directory tree, Lightroom will search for all photos in the directory containing your photo and all subdirectories of it.
    The details:
    What did work, was to individually locate photos using the ? you see on the photo when in grid mode in the Library view.  If you turn on the choice to locate other photos nearby, then Lightroom will search for other photos in this directory and in all subdirectories of the one containing your located photo.  This was a good start, but the problem for me is that my photos are stored in many directories below an organizing directory (eg, \2009\2009-01-02) and the organizing directory (\2009 in this example) does not contain any photos to locate.  Furthermore, each of my orgainizing 'yearly' directories are organized in one top directory (\Photos) that also has no photos in it to locate.  So, to make use of this feature, I had to create a photo in at least the top directory that I could use for finding the rest.  I call this a 'FindMe' photo.  I found that it needed to have a totally different file name than any other photo in my library.  So, I created on be exporting another photo (with very poor resolution to keep the size small) and giving it a name of FindMe-<directory_name>.  I also found it helpful to give it a caption of 'FindMe' to use in locating the photo.  I imported this photo into the top directory (\Photos) on the PC.
    The next step was to open the .lrcat on the Mac.  Looking at the grid of all photos, I narrowed down the photos to just those that had a caption of 'FindMe' or a file name of FindMe.  That located the photo in \Photos that I could use to start the search for all the rest.  (Note that giving your locating photo a name you can easily find is important because all you will be able to see when you look at all of the photos is just a blank square and I couldn't find any way to tell Lightroom to only show me photos in this one directory, excluding subdirectories (this is a feature they should add to Lightroom).)
    Now theoretically, this trick should have located all of my photos.  However, in a library of over 55,000 photos, there's bound to be some problems.  It turns out that my library that started in Adobe Photoshop Elements had some entries that didn't point to the file properly...in fact there was a blank space at the beginning of the filename.  We had caught this problem and renamed the file on the hard drive properly, but a few catalog entries had missed the correction of the filename before we converted this to a Lightroom catalog.  (Elements tolerated the blank space in the file name, Lightroom does not).  This caused Lightroom to hang when it was locating file.  I solved this problem by fixing a lot of these in the PC catalog.  (This took some doing, because Lightroom would first give me a ? to let me locate the file, but it quickly realized it had a problem and changed the ? to a danger sign that would not allow me to do anything with the photo.  So, I had to act quickly to correct the problem with these photos.)  That fixed a lot, but there were apparently still some problems in the library that caused Lightroom to hang when locating photos.  Also, as the number of photos that were properly relocated grew, I found that it took too long to let Lightroom try to fix the entire library.  So, I started creating FindMe photos in the few remaining 'yearly' organizing directories and locating files in each of these.  That pretty much did the trick.
    My wishlist for Lightroom new features:
    1.   I would like it if I could tell Lightroom to locate all photos within a directory (with the choice to includ subdirectories) in a particular place.  By this, I mean to go from the directory, not from a specific photo within a directory.
    2.  I want to be able to tell Lightroom to only display photos within a particular directory (excluding those in the subdirectory).  This would make it a lot easier to locate my 'find me' photos and would eliminate the need to make the so identifiable.

  • How to use an external drive for windows and mac

    I recently got an external hard drive (2 TB seagate expansion) and I need to be able to use it with both my mac and my windows computer. I have read numerous forums and tried downloading various third party programs but nothing seems to work! One of the things i have read was to create a partition on the drive, this is easy enough and i did try it so i do have one side i can add stuff from from windows and one side i can add stuff to from my mac but then i cant access the other side. So say i need to get a file from my mac to my windows. I add a file to the mac side of the partition from my mac but then when i plug it into windows i cant retrieve that because its on the mac side of the partition (and vis versa). Is there some sort of easy way around this? or some way in which i can format the drive where i can move files back and forth from windows to mac without any expensive third party programs?
    Thanks!
    Bryan
    PS. I did notice when i originally got the hard drive i had a bunch of files on it that were added from windows. When i plugged it into my mac i could see and copy these files but i could not add new files. Is there anyway to get around this "read only" type formate if i were to reset my drive back to its factory settings?

    Three ways to go;
    Repartiton the drive (1 partition) as MBR and with FAT32 file system. This is readable and writable by both Mac and Windows, but has a file size limit (which I think is 4GB).
    The alternative is to leave the drive formatted as NTFS for Windows (this is not normally writeable from Mac) and employ a third-party software application which can write to NTFS. NTFS-3G, Paragons NTFS for Mac and Tuxera NTFS have all been recommended elsewhere.
    Or you can repartition as GUID with HFS+ (Mac OS Extended Journalled) file system. This would not normally be accesible to the Windows machine, but once again there is 3rd-party softwsre available to enable Windows to read and write to it. MacDrive is the only one I'm aware of, but there are probably others.

  • HT1175 Using G-Raid to backup iMac and Mac Pro laptop

    Has anyone atttempted to backup both machines to a Hitachi G-Raid with one partition? If they have, was it by direct USB 2.0 wire  using AirPort Express for the Mac Pro and direct fire wire to the iMAC?
    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    To backup in the future requires hooking up each machine individually and using TM.
    To do it that way, yes, but that's not your best bet.
    First, having both sets of backups made directly, in the same partition, may present problems later on. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #4 for details.
    Second, the inconvenience of switching back and forth means both Macs won't get regular backups.  If you do switch frequently, there's the risk of damaging a port or plug.
    Your best bet is to partition the drive.  Continue backing-up the iMac to one partition directly.  Leave the drive connected to the iMac, and back the laptop up to the other partition via your network.   See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #33 for details, and #22 for setup instructions.  That way, both will be backed-up hourly, as long as they're awake and the laptop is in range of your network.
    Will my original question of using AirPort Express work
    No.  You cannot connect a drive to an Airport Express's USB port, only a printer.

    You buy another license or move to Creative Cloud. Perpetual licenses are platform specific. Only CCM will allow you to use your 2 activations on different operating systems. Otehr than that, Macs can of course run Windows via Bootcamp....

  • Can I use Photoshop on both my windows and Mac PC's

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 in May for my Windows PC.  I also want to install it on my Mac, However the download they provided me with doesn't have a Mac version.  Can I get Adobe to provide me with a cost free Mac version?

    You are confusing hardware and operating systems.
    If you are running the Windows OS on Mac hardware, you are running Windows.

  • IPop Use with different operating systems Windows And Mac Osx

    so the quetion is this can i use my IPod with different Operatin systems?
    I have a MacBook at home where i keep all my Music in and at the office i have a Windows network i would like to carry some music from home to the office using my IPod. I thought that a solution is to Partition my Ipod 40G in 2 parts and have one of them FAT so that my Windows operating system can view it.
    Did any of you done it? and if so How? did you loose the use of some of the IPod functions?
    let me Know if there are ways to carry music using your Ipod from the MacOSX to Windows Prof or home edition thanks!
    Donatello

    Your problem has nothing to do with data vs music. Music IS data. I've used my iPod for data and music since the first iPod was released. There's no reason to think the two OS versions are involved either.
    Look at your usage practices - and I'm not necessarily suggesting you are abusing your computer. Has one of your computers crashed while the iPod was connected? This could cause data damage that might explain the problem. Have you ever disconnected the iPod without un-mounting it first?
    You might also be creating fragmentation problems if you frequently add and remove data files while at the same time adding and removing music. One decision I made when I was using my iPod to transport lots of movies and photos for a project was to NOT make any music changes during that busy two week period.

  • Hi,I use Nokia Suite 3.4.49 and Firefox 15.0,before update from Firefox 14.1 to 15 and now,I cant sync my firefox bookmarks with Nokia Suite,as you know in fir

    Actually, it has nothing to do with locking to their network. That's a totally different problem altogether that's independent from the branding.
    What's happening here is altering the firmware so that it contains Three's logo and links to some of their services in the menu. Plus maybe a few alterations to maintain compatibility with the network, although they should be minor since unbranded phones will work on Three.
    The trouble with making these alterations to updated firmware is that it takes time and therefore money to do it, and they get nothing in return. That's why it's such a low priority for network operators to approve updates.
