What do I need in a new Mac?
Need to get a new computer soon and would like some opinions on what am I looking for. I currently have a 15 "MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory, the graphics are NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB. I have the habit of working graphic arts so my computer for graphics previously much used, but is no longer. Now all that I mainly use my computer is basic internet usage, but I play some graphics intensive FB games that are really slow on my computer. If a new Mac, what do I look for is faster than this computer? It's the graphics, memory, processor? What is the best recommendation... I can shoot with a MacBook or a MacBook Air? I like the ability to have a CD/DVD drive if possible. I would like just to make it faster on these graphics intensive games as this computer. I have 50/50 FiOS internet. All opinions and help what to look for is really appreciated!
First thing to know is the Apple refurbished store online http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac. Apple-given to nine units for about 15% off nine and the renovation of the process find all the flaws of some love better than the factory-line units. I have one handed to nine, and you can buy AppleCare on them.
Now... the correct unit...
RAM and storage are set to what you buy now (well... maybe someone will find the right parts to allow storage upgrade later, but by opening the case the guarantee so pores...) to be ready to buy "until you might need later. A review on buying more RAM, is that if you intend to resell them in a few years the largest models RAM sale easier.
I would not choose the device so that an optical drive now... you can buy an external USB optical drive later.
GPU will be faster. Faster CPU (although the GHz is less, the processor will be much better type). You cannot customize the different CPU GPU... they travel in pre-established packages.
I like 15 Pro (2 GPU instead of 1), if only because "more power I need now" means that it serves my needs for several years. But the Air is lighter and less expensive.

How can I get Premiere and After Effects on my new Mac book?

I've updated last week. After trying to export a video of LR it said I didn't have enough space (new Mac Book Pro since Oct 2015) hard disk I needed to release 20 mg of space, when I clicked ok all my files in LR 2016 disappeared. My images for 2015 are there, the few that I had, but these changes have also disappeared. I just finished editing a wedding so 625 edits is GONE! Anyone know what happened? Are they in some file somewhere?

I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, I want to install CS5 on them. I can do this, and if not what is my best option. I mainly use Photoshop later. Thank you!
Personally, I would install just without turning off. Worst thing that will l be happen you will need to disable a. Does not mean that you must uninstall just disable and when you need it, just disable one of the other and activate the current. But I assume CS5 because he is not yet supported most probably don't even follow the activations. I'm guessing the last part but when trying to install and activate without disabling one will not harm what anyone,.

What are the steps to follow before the wizard of migration on a new mac with CC
I read a lot of posts from people having problems with Creative cloud after using the mac migration assistant.
After what I saw and more a manual migration, it looks like disabling and, possibly, an uninstall of creative cloud on my old mac and then downloading CC for the new mac is the thing to do? Looks like a counterintuitive thing to do especially when I have a site that is held with the Muse...
I just bought a new mac and would appreciate any idea. Kirk
Hello
Creative cloud apps cannot be migrated as a return to the top, you will need to download and install apps as a new on the new machine
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
You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

Hello, I have a Lightroom 6 for Windows license, can I use it on a Mac, or what I have to buy a new license. Thank you
Hi stefanob
Greetings!
There is no need to buy another license. You can use a Lightroom 6 license on two computers at the same time.
According to the files, you have a Multiple of the platform license. If you could install it on Mac as well.
In case you download link for Lightroom 6. Use Download Photoshop Lightroom

I bought it through my college in 2011 and I now want to install the software on my new Mac. I copied the serial number of the software directly from my Adobe ID login. What I am doing wrong. (BTW, I called support phone Adobe and hung up the first time after 20 minutes of waiting.) The second time the representative me CS is only supported by 'chat '. A web discussion forum is not 'cat').
If you have only one installation enabled then you can avoid probably disable the one you currently have. You will receive a message about exceeding the activations if this has been a problem.
If the school has provided this software as a special offer you can check with them. In some cases, special offers are limited and the license does not last forever. If you paid the price full student then this is not the case.
Because it seems that you have not tried this chat option which should give a go - see below. Be patient and try to stay quiet/friendly and they might be receptive to helping instead to lift you back on the forum. They have the ability to help, but sometimes they choose to not.

I have a proof of purchase of my Adobe CC license, but according to the site and the app I'm in a free trial. I just got a new Mac and all transferred to an older Mac and has been using the application on an old PC for a while so I'm not sure is what is causing my problem. I have bank statements indicating payments of my subscription to Adobe for this product update.
Hi Seth,
First of all, disconnect, then back into creative cloud, using adobe id to pay for your subscription.

Then, if you launch any product of CC 2015 and the pop up still shows a trial message window, please check this link for the resolution:
