PC update or switch to Mac?
Hi all!
I'm mostly an avid user, but I just fell in love with Adobe CS5.5 after using the trial. My question is the good ' ol question. Mac or PC? Now, I have an AMD setup right now. But I wonder if I should sell and opt for a new generation with an i7 or simply upgrade to a Mac?
I know that the industry began to use Final Cut Pro and first, but I found that the first CS5.5 allows users to import XML files (which are CPF files, I think). How to Import FCP files in first if I use a PC or not?
If not, should I just upgrade to a Mac (I'm thinking iMac or a Macbook Pro) or simply update my PC?
I would like to use Photoshop Adobe AE, Premiere Pro CS5.5, for now. I buy a Mac for Music Production, but I wanted to know for video and photo if a better Mac is the way to go.
I was PC my life and started using Macs in 1990 - something. In 2009, I built a Mac Pro specifically to make a film with the CS3 version. Today, I again that Mac Pro, updated the firmware for 2010 and exchanged in a Hex CPU core, 32GB RAM 1333, card RAID Areca and all sorts of things. I still love it, but the PC is currently better. OS X (Snow Leopard) is nice and all, but it is still just a tool and Win7 is great, too.
FCP X. Bought it, fought with him, still don't know if I'll ever use it on paid employment.
CS5. I love. I personally have no problem (even on a Mac) with the ATI 5870 mercury running in mode 'software only '. I have a nVidia GTX285 for Mac, but I didn't like the performance and switched back to 5870. Can't wait to see what brings the CS6... SpeedGrade? OpenCL GPU acceleration? Mmmm... and with the new maps 7900 series ATI out... who knows!
I think that if you are a PC, be grateful and use it to your advantage. These are days PC, mang! Mac may have been King in 2008-9, but PC exceeded their. Save Apple for your gadget needs.

I have LR 6 (upgrade LR 5and4) installed on Windows PC and switch to Mac. It will not install on Mac since the earlier version is installed. Is there a solution?
Update should allow you to enter the serial number of the previous version during the installation
If this does not work, you must communicate directly with Adobe

iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac. This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time'). I tried restarting both devices. Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)
Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

I just tried to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 on my Mac. I'm going to the message I had the serial number does not match to. I bought for Windows in 2010 and he switched to Mac using Adobe. I now cannot install and this forum has been returned by the current agent. Can someone please? I don't have the funds to buy it again. Thank you.
You can only do it in 1 or 2 years after purchase. If you don't have that you received a serial number mac.
check your account, Adobe ID Code
If she is not there and you don't have to record the serial number of your mac on and fix you is perhaps not able to activate acrobat 9, but there is a chance adobe support would help. Contact adobe during the time pst support by clicking here and, when available, click on "still need help," https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

SerialNumber disabled after switching to Mac to Win and return to Win.
Hello
I first bought CS6 for Windows, that I switched to Mac.
I bought a new laptop today and I wanted to reinstall CS6 on Windows, but the serial number is disabled.
Unfortunately, I didn't disable the serialnumber on my old PC and Mac. I just deleted it.
There is no way to reinstall, because I sold them.
I was looking for some mail contact or whatever is but it only the cat, which is currently offline.
Y at - it no mail contact or number to the Germany?
What is the problem with this company? I have the money paid for it and there is no chance to activate this in time?
You are allowed to swap one time platform, so you wouldn't be able to get it back to a Windows license even if everything else was in order with whatever your situation.

I own CS5.5 Design Standard (Dutch version) for Windows. I consider to switch to Mac. I do use the platform change option to replace CS5.5 Design Standard for Mac?
If Yes, how should I do this?
If not, what are my options for not having to buy a new version complete for Mac?
Thanks in advance for answers!
With sincere friendships.

The platform swaps apply only to the current versions. Buy the CS6 upgrade and make the platform switch.

switching between Mac OS and Win 7 VM (full screen)
I just got a mac a week to begin to understand/test to see if it will be a viable option for our company. I also bought vmware fusion to run windows 7 on. I was at the research/tent all night to figure out if & how to switch between mac os x and windows 7, more particularly when I win 7 mode full screen?
We had a consultant of cisco in our office awhile back and that he used the same configuration, but I swear I saw him by activating / deactivating one back between the BONES in mode full-screen. It would be some keys on the keyboard and windows 7 screen would slip up on the screen on Mac OS. I asked him what he was using and he said merger.
is this possible to do?
I think I installed fusion light instead of the full version, which would be the cause? I would like the full version installed, but I didn't install the AV that accompanies it.
Another way to switch is to use the Mac command + Tab (change of application) to change between Mac applications and out of the VM in full screen. I always use spaces and VMware "locked" to one of the spaces. When I pass as described above need me in general to another space which is all Mac applications.

I updated my operating system Mac Mountain Lion and my CS2 no longer works. Is there a solution? CS2 works great for my purpose.
Unfortunately it is the control of Adobe on the outside. Recent versions of Mac OS x simply do not contain the necessary components to the system more. Short of signing up for creative cloud / purchase CS6, there is no way to fix it, though, if "CS2 works just fine" for you, PS Elements could suffice just as well these days, given that all of the features is similar to your old version of PS...

I bought the wrong update, I need a Mac Version but ordered a Windows Version. What can I do?
I did exactly the same thing and contacted their customer service on the live chat. It took about an hour before someone was available, but he did return to normal and they also send me a box version that allows the two platforms at the same price. They just canceled my purchase of Windows, placed a Mac purchase on their system, sent me a new serial number and published records canned.
