Hi
I am running CS6 on Mountain Lion on a macbook that is coming to the end of its life, if I buy a new macbook with El Capitan OS will I be able to run CS6.

I think so, but maybe after jumping through a few hoops first

Peter, I don't know if this is going to be of use to you, but I'm running CS6 on Yosemite. I've not had any major issues in the two years I've been using that combination.

El Capitan is the latest iteration of the 64-bit operating system front end for Unix. I've found no issues or problems moving from OS to OS. I do, however, perform a Time Machine backup before each upgrade, just in case something goes terribly wrong and I have to revert to the last backup. That happened with one beta version of Mavericks and Apple ProApps which was resolved within less than a week.
As for getting a new Mac, you'll probably have to deauthorize/uninstall the old one's Adobe applications so your PS6 is available to activate on the new one. When you get your new Mac, you can even restore it from your Time Machine backup and expect to have everything where you expect to find it, with the exception of reserializing the newly activated Adobe applications. If you buy from an Apple Store, you should even be able to get guidance/assistance on setting up the new Mac or for $99, they (we) will do the data migration from old to new for you. But it's a task that you should be able to do yourself, following the simple onscreen prompts when you start up the new Mac.
One more thing, Apple is introduced a new free Apple support service, available 24/7 via chat or phone support for all Apple products - getsupport.apple.com
Congratulations and happy holidays.

Perfectly, had some issues with Yosemite (LR only) but with the update to El Capitan that issue went away. All CS6 products work great on this system.

What problems does CS5 have on El Capitan? I have CS5 on Mavericks and have been reluctant to upgrade. Thanks.

It seems to be an issue with java version but

should be a fix.

I run CS6 on a new Macbook Pro. Be sure to deactivate it on your "dying" computer. Then install disc on new Mac with El Capitan. It should be fine.

I am using CS6 products on an iMac OSX Lion and am thinking about upgrading to El Capitan. I am not on the Cloud deal from Adobe, but own my CS6 products (PS, Ai, Id, outright. Will these stand alone versions work on El Capitan?
