Just bought the D7000, you want tips, MacBook Pro, or Win 7 64 bit
I just purchased a D7000 and I try to update my PC for photo with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom work. Looking for feedback from experienced users. What's better, MacBook Pro or Win 7 64 bit?
It is difficult to get reliable information on which platform Lightroom is more likely to work better, as Adobe would say "works equally well on both" and most individuals have personal biases that clouds objectivity (for example, users have just not enough data points to make a curve, so to speak).
I have used Lightroom on both platforms, but can't say which is better, except:
The Windows version supports hotkeys to access menu, which makes the plugin uses a lot easier (Mac version does not). In addition, some plugin functions (not a lot) do not work on Mac because of this.
Also (I'm a plugin author) there are some inefficiencies in the implementation of Windows of the plugin infrastructure which make me wonder if the Lightroom software has a gap of Mac under the hood - but I don't know. However, there are some anomalies in the implementation of Mac of the infrastructure of plugin that make it difficult to program plugins to work as well - for example, the edited text fields are not until a button click is treated, so have buttons that do things with freshly entered text can be challenging - there are workaround solutions , but not always viable and a plugin author should know about this, remember, code and test for her... And Mac users should be aware that they may need to tab to a text field before clicking on a button that treats the text ...
In any case, in the larger scheme of things, I think that the differences are relatively minor, and the big question is: what platform you want to use for the 'other' things still Lightroom.
PS - It can be a little more potential for problems on the Windows platform due to the wide variety of hardware and drivers that could have funny interactions, but these are corner cases...
Lightroom works fine on my Mac and on my Windows machine (much better on the new that older machine), but the opening acts barely at all on my Mac (relatively recent) (sloooooooow), but others do not have same problem... go figure...
See you soon,.

I just bought the CS6 and installed it on my macbook pro. I have an old mac mini I also want to run it on. It is OS x 10.6.8. It has a core duo 1.83 GHz processor intel. I put CS6 top as well?
We support PS on 10.6.8 but are not supported for Macintosh systems that are not 64-bit capable.
How do you know if your Mac has a 32-bit processor or 64-bit Intel processor?
Kind regards

I just bought the student version for my 14 year old daughter and want to download on a Wacom tablet. Once I'm on the home page... How to... didn't they ask a paid receipt or confirmation any?
Hi Samuel
Here is a link to download the application cloud Creative Manager.
https://creative.Adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
She will need CC instal the software first on the computer and connect you with the Adobe ID to activate. Then install the drivers for the Wacom tablet. It will then be able to use the tablet with the Creative Cloud software
Thank you

Hi Rudy,.
You can change the language used for the interface of Acrobat.com in your profile. Login to https://cloud.acrobat.com with your Adobe ID and password. Then, click on your name in the upper right and choose personal data (information) in the context menu. Choose English in the menu drop down language (Language), and you should be all set.
Best,

Hello. I just bought the Warcraft Battle chest but when I tried to install it, I am told that PowerPC applications are more supported. Is there a way I can work around this problem? Thank you.
Except by running Mac OS X Server 10.6 inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop or decommissioning the BONE if possible on the Mac, no.

I just bought the DC Pro Acrobat full of desktop software only. Have downloaded fine, but when I go to install the download, it is for me an "access violation at address 00000000. read of address 00000000 ". Can someone please? Thank you!
Hi Rob,
What is happening in Mode safe? If you can install it in Mode safe mode then delete all entries in startup via msconfig as this could conflict with the program.
If this does not work, saving all the data of your administrator account, you can delete the account and recreate it.
Kind regards

Hello; I just bought the annual cc for students; After installing it on my workstation, I tried to do the same thing on my surface, but it seems that I can't. Anyone know if the version of the student cannot be installed on a single pc? Thank you
Hello
You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application
Also creative cloud cannot be installed on a Surface of 3 pro:-Cloud Creative and Microsoft Surface Pro 3 | Creative blog Cloud by Adobe

I just bought the upgrade to Adobe DC Pro and downloaded, but it won't install - is always watch that I have Acrobat Standard DC? Any suggestions?
Many people, (Brucgovn in particular), I appreciate the help... but nothing worked at all... but I FOUND THE SECRET!
What you do, it is go to the Adobe Web site, click on your product and specify that you want to return items - you want a FULL REFUND!
What is the first option, they give you? The session ever elusive "cat." Three times I tried with various silly responses that got me nowhere
On my 4th attempt, I'm someone who knew what they were doing - literally within 5 minutes, all problems solved, and things everything works perfectly.
So... my words of advice - forget trying to fix yourself - hitting where it hurts - in the wallet... the minute you say you want a refund - they struggle to get you fixed, hung, up and ready to go!
Thanks again for the help! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas - or whatever holiday you and your celebration of the!

I can't change current alternative to battery without incident. When I change the battery on a power outlet, Firefox blinks several times then turns off. To close the browser, I click on the 'X', which fortunately remains, and that the box "you want to close" is empty also. I hit enter and Firefox closes. I reopen and select restore previous... and I can continue. Just something I've ever known, do not know how to fix it. Sometimes, if I reduce the browser (""-"") at the top right before plugging in my diet, I can work around this problem. Sometimes he waits until I have maximize the browser, and again, it flashes and turns off anyway.
Hello numberonejason, this is perhaps a problem with hardware acceleration. try updating your graphic driver, or in the case where this does not resolve the problem, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > General.
