After transferring applications and documents to my new mac, the applications won't open?
I transferred pages, keynote and photoshop from my old white macbook to my new macbook pro through the use of a hardrive. At first the applications came up as question marks on the dock and clicking on them had no response. I then tried transferring them again and when i clicked on them it saying i need to check if it works with this version on OS X and that i may need to reinstall the application. Both computers have all updates downloaded and the newest software and it still doesn't work? My friends have the same macbooks and did the same thing to their new macbook pros and the applications work for them? What do i do?
All three of the apps that you name have auxiliary files installed when you install the application - is you just copied the application files only, they likely aren't going to work.
You really should just install the apps anew - redownload Pages and Numbers from the App Store and reinstall Photoshop from your PS disc or disk image. I doubt that the apps will even work if you simply copy the app file from one Mac to another.

My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my old mac screen? Please help!
Sure! If the two Macs have Thunderbolt ports, attach a Thunderbolt cable between them. If they have FireWire, or if one has FireWire and one Thunderbolt, connect a FireWire cable (with a TB adaptor if necessary). Reboot the old Mac holding down the T key. Make sure it's connected to power. You'll now see its system drive appear on the desktop of the other Mac and you can use Migration Assistant to automatically transfer files, or drag them over manually.

After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly -
Transferring Mail and Address Book to new Mac
I am buying a new Intel Mac and want to transfer over my mail and address book - how can I do this and be sure it works properly. I don't want to do the wholesale fire-wire transfer thing because I have had a lot of conflicts on my old mac and don't want to bring the problems over to the new mac. Just want to transfer mail, address book, tunes, photos and a few documents. Can you help?
Jeff,
Welcome to Discussions. I'm no expert, but try this for email:
Copy the folder 'Mail' found here: Users/your name/Library/Mail
Then go to your new Mac and drag and drop the 'Mail' folder to the same location and hit 'Replace'. This will copy all your mail accounts as well as any mail/sent/drafts/trash/junk and anything else in your old Mac email app. Just make sure you haven't downloaded any new mail (unless it was left on the seerver) to your new Mac. After you replace the 'Mail' folder, any mail already on your new email app will be replaced.
For Address Book:
Copy the folder 'AddressBook' found here: Users/your name/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Again, do the same thing and drag and drop the copy to your new Mac. Same deal if you have already added new addresses to your new Mac. If you replace the new 'AddressBook' with the old, you will erase any address that were already on there.
Another way to copy both of these items is to subscribe to .Mac and do a sync (easiest method). It's $99 a year and it can really help with syncing your iCal, Safari bookmarks and Keychains (stores passwords on your Mac) also. There is a 60 trial, so you can do all this stuff for free for a limited time.
Enjoy your new iMac,

File-type "Firefox Document (.htm)" images saved to the HD won't open
Images online occasionally default to file-type Firefox Document (.htm) as opposed to the usual jpg. They will not open even with firefox and display as coding.
Can you describe in more detail what happens when you try to open the saved movie? I don't know what you mean by "main menu1".
Since you saved your movie you may find it completely intact in the project's Package Contents folder. Right-click on the project icon (the one with the star on it). Select Package Contents in the drop down menu. In the Package Contents folder you should find a file named (project movie title).iMovieProj. Open that file and see if your movie is intact with all edits. If it is, duplicate it and move it to your desktop. Rename and save it as a new project. Don't otherwise mess with the Package Contents.
Is your external drive formulated for Apple? Should be MAC OS extended or MAC OS extended (journaled). -
New Macs with Mavericks won't open Photoshop CS3
I upgraded my desktop and laptop and am having trouble with my licensed version of CS3. I spent over an hour with the Adobe Chat line to try to resolve the issues. My desktop computer (iMac) says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." It quits the program after that message, so I cannot deactivate CS3 on that computer. My laptop says that I need to deactivate the software on the other computer in order to activate it on the laptop. After an hour on Adobe Chat, it abruptly ended unresolved with:
Bopanna N B: Thank you.
Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
You are not currently connected to a chat representative.
The End.
Can my licensed version be deactivated from all current computers so I can reactivate on my new computer? I'm in the middle of a project with a deadline and need this program. My Adobe account shows that I purchased it, so it's legitimate. I just can't access it now.On this page you should be able use the Chat Now button at the bottom of the page and then adobe can reset your activations

Also, this might fix the error your seeing in case you want to use cs3 on your desktop, because you are allowed to have cs3 installed on two of your own computers.

I have tried everything I can think of and that has been suggested in your knowledge base but FF will not open. I have downgraded to an earlier version but that didn't help so I've uninstalled everything and have done a clean reinstall of 7.0.1. I've rebooted at each step.
However when I tried to bring my bookmarks into Chrome (so I could keep working) it said FF was open. Same thing when I went to uninstall it. Task Manager does not show it running. Chrome is working so it's not my internet connection.
I have not installed any new software or hardware recently although I did upgrade Roboform to the latest version. This was the reason to update FF as the RF addon wasn't compatible with the version of FF I was using.
I've scanned for viruses and the machine is clean.
I am on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. At the moment I am working off my old laptop but I need FF working on my main machine.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
KathyThanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.
so Keynote still isnt working after installing, I thought you had it sorted from your last post.
If you have not done so remove any files relating to iWork and Keynote and reinstall iWork
files that must go are:
the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications;
the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library >
There are a number of free application removal tools that will do this for you:

Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs when trying to attach a PDF to emails. Apple was not able to fix. Any thoughts?
The message says:
Please wait
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of your document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
Then it goes on to suggest an Reader upgrade, which I already did. -
Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
JimHello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

Applications won't open after Quicktime Update...and fix won't work!
Hello,
I'm having the same problem as many others: after the recent Quicktime update most of my applications won't open.
I've followed the instructions from Apple at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306043
However, when I do the "sudo" prebinding thing, I get this:
update_prebinding: error: dependent dylib is not prebound
update_prebinding: error 256 running updateprebindingcore
Any ideas?! Thanks!

created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read. I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd. Any suggestions. I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???
There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video. I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player. The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.
I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project. But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu?
When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options. It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.). You need software that will made a DVD-V disc. Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn. -

Perhaps corruption of the Energy Saver settings...
Reset the PRAM cannot hurt.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.
In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.
