changing platform - pc to mac
Hi - I do not know when it would be better posted, but this seems the most likely place.
It's time for a new computer.
I use a PC for years - been happy enough with it, but I really hate the appearance of Windows 8 and don't want to buy a new computer to remove the o/s and downgrade it.
I plan to switch to Mac and you want to get some ideas as to whether it would be useful, is that the learning curve and what problems I might face.
I have been using a PC for about 15 years.
I am Member creative cloud. I use mostly InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro but also the occasional Dreamweaver. I use Extensis Suitcase to manage my fonts. I also have the opportunity to prepare a document in Word for PC-based clients. I see mainly in English, but I also need occasional Hebrew and I use the Middle East editions of ID, PS and IT.
As far as I know, licensing wise, I can install my software on any platform - correct?
My main concerns are:
(1) will be transitions of file (opening indesign documents, reissue of links etc) be smooth, or I will face couplers?
(2) I have to grief, from the fonts? (I use mostly open Type fonts and True Type, but some of them are quite old)
(3) I'll be able to use the Hebrew on a Mac as easily on my PC (just need to change the language of the keyboard, then the correct settings in ID)
(4) I have problems of migration small sites that I am managing? Dreamweaver seems to refer to the structure of local site and I hope that I can just reset it. As you can see that I do not have a lot of stuff, only tiny under duress!
I also have questions about Word and Excel, but as this is an Adobe Forum I can keep Adobe.
If anyone has comments on the subject if change is worth at all, please share!
Thank you
Ruth

Yes

you will have a few relatively minor hitches the way your existing documents from pc to mac
(2) I have to grief, from the fonts? (I use mostly open Type fonts and True Type, but some of them are quite old)
Yes, you will have some problems with fonts.
(3) I'll be able to use the Hebrew on a Mac as easily on my PC (just need to change the language of the keyboard, then the correct settings in ID)
that, I don't know.
(4) I have problems of migration small sites that I am managing? Dreamweaver seems to refer to the structure of local site and I hope that I can just reset it. As you can see that I do not have a lot of stuff, only tiny under duress!
you will probably have a few headaches.
because I felt the same way you win 8, I bought my last computer form microexpress. They allow you to choose win8 or win7. the win7 that they installed on my computer is win 7 pro.

CS5 isn't the current version of Photoshop to change platforms, you will need to upgrade your CS5 to CS6 and change platforms at the same time. Standard upgrade is $ 200 Extended upgrade is $ 400

Where should I go now?
Serial numbers are specific to operating systems as are the versions of the software... your Windows of CS6 version will not work on a Mac and your windows serial number will not work on a Mac. Since it is CS6 you have the possibility to change platforms. See the following for instructions:

Lost cd CS4, need to change from PC to MAC
Hello, I lost my cd for Photoshop CS4. I need to change from PC to MAC! where can I download the program?
License CD was only good for installation on a PC. CS4 is too old to cross-grade to a Mac version. Cross-grades are allowed for the most recent version (CS6). You can also subscribe the creative cloud where the two platforms are planned with the same subscritpion.

Change my Windows platform to the mac
Hello I have CS6 on Windows but have just myself treated to an iMac and would like to change my platform, I looked on the help of Adobe and they say that it is posible but. Need to contact Adobe and it will do the necessary. When I followed the link, it of say that Photoshop is not coverled through telephone support, can someone point me in the right direction to get to this sorting?
Thanks Andrew
You can indeed make a swap of platform for CS6. Details on how to proceed are in this help document: a product of Adobe for another language or version of Exchange platform.
I note, by clicking the link "contact us" in this document that the telephone support option seems to be disabled. Traditionally, a hotline was available for account related issues, even for older software like CS6. By clicking around, it seems that the telephone link is cut across the Board, so maybe there's a problem? In any case, you should be able to work through the Exchange against a representative of the conversation. If you prefer to talk to someone on the phone, you can try the CS6 sales number, which is located on this page. Creative Cloud now includes Creative Suite Master Collection and features of Design Premium.
Let us know how it goes!
