Uninstall problem in cc applications after time machine migration to new mac

Newbie to cc. Having problems with cc programs that were migrated across to new iMac via Time Machine back up when setting up new mac.
Attempting to open PS cc results in error message 86. I have now uninstalled Creative Cloud program and a PS cc program in Utilities via Adobe Installer in Ulilities however, (other copies?) of the programs PS cc and Bridge cc, the only 2 cc programs I have so far, are listed in my Applications folder.
I think I need to remove them both from the Applications folder but am unsure how to do this safely. There is no Abobe Uninstaller now in Utilities as it was empty after uninstall removal of duplicate? programs noted earlier so I deleted that too.
Should I send them to trash? And then perhaps I can start afresh with new installs of Creative Cloud and required cc programs.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank, Barry

Hi Jakekira14,
We never suggest our customer's to move Adobe softwares using Timemachine because it causes launch/Licensing issues. I would request you to kindly delete all the Adobe folders and then install everything from scratch. To remove the left over's, please delete the following folders from your machine.
Click on Go>Go to
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
/Library/Preferences/Com.adobe.....

  • Continuity issue after Time Machine Backup for new Mac

    I restore new Mac Mini (2014) with a Time Machine backup made on MacBook Air (13', 2012). Now handoff is not working on my MacBook because iCloud thinks that Mac Mini is MacBook Air now. I disabled iCloud on all devices and Handoff and other worked well on Air before I logged into iCloud on Mac Mini. What should I do to repair this issue?

    That's not how you set up a new computer.

    I used the Migration Assistant to move data from my Time Machine to my new Mac.   Most data seems to have been transferred successfully but none of my iPhoto pictures have been transferred.
    My Time Machine now shows the earliest available Back-up to be after the Migration Date.   My iPhoto pictures seem to have either been lost in the migration process or are locked in my Time Machine prior to the earliest back-up date now accessible.  
    Any advice on recovering my old iPhoto pictures would be greatly appreciated.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

  • Continue Time Machine on a new Mac

    My new iMac arrived in the mail about a week ago and I've been having a hard time getting Time Machine to do what I expected would be simple. Here is a quick step by step of what I have done:
    I had an existing Time Machine backup of my old iMac with a few years of history on it
    I used Migration Assistant on the new iMac to restore everything
    I had a second Time Machine drive from my wife's Mac from which I only restored her user account. At this point I don't care about maintaining the history of her backups.
    I made a duplicate of my Time Machine drive for safety
    When I turned on Time Machine on my new machine it asked me if I wanted to inherit the backup history from the drive. I chose to do this and the backup ran for several hours.
    The result is that Time Machine did not pick up where is left off and only backup the changes to my files. Instead it did a completely new backup to my drive. Also, all of the permissions of the old backups are set, so I can't even read the files. Using the Time Machine interface I can see the dates for my old backups, but it will not let me see the contents of these backups (I assume this is due to the permissions issue).
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? I have a backup of my Time Machine drive from before a backup was run on the new machine, so if there is something I have done wrong I can go back. Is there any way to get Time Machine to pick up where is left off with the old machine? Should I just erase the drive and start fresh? If I keep my drive in it's current state with read only permissions on the older directories will Time Machine correctly delete the old items when it runs out of space?
    I have been looking around in these forums, but haven't found anyone with the same problems. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Can't sync applications after Time machine backup restoration

    Hello.
    I'm running 10.5.4 on a Macbook whose hard drive crashed. I replaced it with another one and restored from my closest time machine backup. Everything is OK with the files, the problem was when I tried to sync my ipod touch.
    The ipod is running 2.0.2. It contained 9 applications, but after the first try to sync I got the error message that several applications couldn't be synced. For each of them I had a message like "Application blah blah could not be synced because you lack the permissions to do so".
    More importantly, the iPod touch now doesn't contain any of these applications, even though they still get reported as a problem during syncing. Rather than deleted, they seem to be hidding, though I can't access any from the touch.
    How can I recover my applications being synced without losing their data?

    I have used iTunes to reset the iPod to the factory default settings. After the syncronisation and reuploading of all my music and photos, I still get the same error on application syncing: I have no permissions to sync applications.
    I have tried downloading new free applications from the App store, but it is the same, nothing gets synced, the new applications are added to the list of problematic programs that can't be synced.
    Here's a snapshot of the error: http://gradha.sdf-eu.org/appsyncerror.png

  • All applications were "?" On the dashboard after time machine restore to new hard drive...what went wrong?

    Hi folks
    I used the cmd R option on booting the MBP and did a disk scan and it reported errors that could not be fixed/repaired.
    So I opted to install a brand new 1Tbyte Seagate hybrid hard drive and restore from my time machine backup.
    So I installed the new drive in the MBP...it stated that it needed to restore from the internet and I was treated with a rotating globe for about 10 minutes.
    It then gave the normal restore options and I opened to format the new drive as a mac drive etc...
    Selected the most recent TM backup from USB drive and pointed it to the new formatted HD in the MBP.
    So far so good I thought....it said it was restoring....
    waited about 4.5 hours and apparently it completed when I was out so I did not see any messages just a normal looking mavericks desktop BUT with "?" In the dashboard where all the applications icons should be?????
    I assume something went wrong somewhere so I reinstalled the old HD and restarted TM and it's not starting to backup all 493Gbyte of disk whichI. Understand is normal after a full restore.
    So...what to do now??? I'll wait for the 7 odd hours of TM to complete but how best should I proceed with the new HD etc...should I reinstall and copy mavericks to it from a memory stick and then attempt a new restore from the recent TMS backup? Or will this cause issues....
    I also have an Inateck hard drive cloning device (brand new never used) so I had wondered if I should simply install the old drive and new drives into this and start the cloning mechanism? OR will this simply clone the errors that were reported on the old drive when it was in the MBP?
    In short I'm not sure what to do for the best now and would welcome helpful suggestions as to how to proceed.
    thanks
    Nick

    <<<<UPDATE>>>>
    If at first you don't succeed...
    Last night after the new 493 Gbyte time machine completed. I once again installed the new drive and restarted the MBP ...waited 10 min for the internet to download the basic disk utilities...restarted the restore from TM and waited 6 hours...Happy days it worked perfectly and like a rocket...the old disk had a read write speed of approx 50-60 Mb/s the new one (hybrid drive) measures at 100-110 Mb/s...programmes open and close noticeably faster and it's better than when the MBP was new...
    Apparently this new hybrid drive "learns" frequently used programmes and caches parts that improves start up time etc as time progresses etc...the MBP now starts from cold boot in less than 1 minute compared to 2 plus before...I know minutes should not really matter but it does improve the user experience. I should add I have 16G of RAM installed which does make a difference with Photoshop and Aperture etc.
    Hope this helps others or at least encourages people to try hybrid drives over the much more expensive SSD option.

  • 10.5.6: Problems with disk permissions after Time Machine restore

    HELP!
    This is the second time this is happening to me-- I restored my 10.5.6 system fully from a Time Machine backup, and now the disk permissions, as far as I can tell, are completely screwed up.
    I have not turned off my system since the restore, for fear that it won't start up again (as was the case the last time I did this). When I try to repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility app, I get the error message "The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    Generally, the system does not have access to certain folders (most, if not all of them, actually).
    For example, Safari can't use plugins.
    I'm not asking why this is happening, I just want to know what I should do to avoid having to reinstall 10.5.5, update it to 10.5.6, and put all of my files back, because all my settings would be deleted if I chose that option.
    I'm not going to turn off my computer until I fix this, because I know it will never startup--
    again.
    DUN DUN DUN...
    So please help me, and thank you kindly,

    I repaired permissions, updated prebindings, cleaned user caches and cleaned archived logs almost every single day before I restored my system. I was trying out this theme changer for Leopard that was unable to undo its (ugly) work. I think the problem might be that I restored the system from my 10.5.5 install disk (yes, in the Utilities menu, the Restore From Backup option).
    Using a 10.5.5 install disc doesn't matter, as you didn't actually load anything from it, just used it's installer to do the restore from TM.
    So you selected a previous backup, from before all the trouble started, right?
    My backup drive's condition is alright, so I doubt that I restored corrupted files.
    Everything now on your system came from your TM drive.
    I'd suggest booting from your Leopard Install disk, and using it's copy of Disk Utility to do a +Repair Disk+ on your internal HD, then a +Repair Permissions.+

  • Mail 5.3 crash after Time Machine migration

    All,
    I'm facing a problem with Mail 5.3 while trying to recover my email db from Time Machine after an update of MacOS.
    Here the following steps I made to perform this update:
    Update my iMac from SL to Lion 10.7.1 using the clean install way.
    Install last 10.7.5 combo update.
    Perform migration of content and system preferences from my last Time Machine backup before the upgrade (using the Migration wizard)
    Finally, run Mail.
    After having performed the email db conversion (without any error message), Mail seems to crash since no main window appears in the application.
    I need to force the application to show the main window with the dedicated command of the Window menu.
    But the result is not what we should expect !
    Please check the snapshot herein attached.
    While looking at the console, it seems that an error occurs during the execution of Mail, with the following error message and code :
    29/10/12 08:30:37,835 Mail: An exception occurred during invocation of -[MailboxesController _writeSmartMailboxesToDisk]
    29/10/12 08:30:37,836 Mail: *** -[NSSet initWithArray:range:copyItems:]: array argument is not an NSArray
    Is there any member of this community who could have an idea what's wrong with this ?
    Thanks,
    Michel

    Some progress on this issue to share with you.
    First, Mail.app on the others user account was fine and I managed to successfully perform the migration from Time Machine.
    This led to the point that the problem was relying on the Mail DB rather on the Mail.app itself.
    I have reinitialised the Mail.app on the user account where the problem occured using the following guidelines:
    - access to the Library folder using the [Alt]+[Goto Menu] of the Finder
    - rename Mail and Mail Downloads folders into Mail.old and Mail Downloads.old
    - delete com.apple.mail.plist and all com.apple.mail... files in the Preferences folder
    Then, start the Mail.app again
    Mail.app has been reinitialised completely !

  • IPhoto not working after Time Machine backup on new MacBookPro - HELP!!!

    I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 w/ 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K540)
    Backed up from Time Machine to load all my files from my old MacBook Pro which seemed to work fine for all applications except for iPhoto. 
    At launch of iPhoto, I get
    1. "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
    2. After clicking upgrade (I'm running on all current software), I get "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?"
    3. After clicking upgrade and typing in my password, I get "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library." and iPhoto quits.
    I've held Option/Command when launching iPhoto and have clicked all boxes and the problem still persists.
    How can I get to my photos?

  • App store and Safari not working after Time Machine restore to new hardware.

    I just had to install a new hard drive to my mid 2010 imac.  I restored with time machine.  I cannot find the original OS disc.  Upon restoring it appears there is a problem with the webkit framework as Safari, App store, and Skype all freeze upon clicking on them and after bouncing, they never open.  Chrome is working.  What do I do?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

  • ITunes 12.0.1 on Yosemite cannot locate my music after Time Machine migration

    Hi hi
    On my old 2008 iMac, my iTunes consists of music media on the internal iMac hdd and on an external HDD.
    The option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" was left unchecked on my iTunes.
    My 2008 iMac froze and stopped working thereafter a few days ago and I bought a new iMac.
    After updating my new iMac to Yosemite, I transferred my old iMac settings and data from the most recent Time Machine backup via Migration Assistant.
    Loaded iTunes on my new iMac and noticed that certain playlist are not working, i.e. cannot locate the media file.
    I narrowed those unplayable playlists to the music located on my external HDD.
    For those that were working, when I get info on the music files, they were located in my new iMac's internal HDD that were transferred over from my Time Machine backup, i.e. ~/Downloads/MP3s/etc.
    Those that were unplayable and located in my external HDD points to ' ~/user/xxx/Music/iTunes/iTunes media', roughly along this line despite my old external HDD being plugged into my new iMac.
    May get some help as to how to get the unplayable media on my external HDD working on my new iMac?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    actually i have same problem with yours. Finally i get iTunes update from apple website, not thru app store.
    but so far i still have no idea to make those iTunes update(8 times) disappear.
    it's really ugly in that page.
    maybe some one have idea to solve it , please advise it. it will be appreciated much ~

  • Can't log in after time machine migration.

    I just bought the latest model running Lion today, used time machine to migrate my data from my old MBP running 10.5. After the migration done I couldn't log in and stuck at the start up page. Is there any way to solve this problem (I'm pretty sure that's not the password issue)?
    =_= Please help.

    Time Machine will (should) restore your old accounts. If you used a different user and password to set up your new MBP, try using one of your old accounts to log in. If that doesn't work, call back. You might also want to research your problem on Pondoni's Time Machine FAQ pages -  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
    Good luck,

  • Trouble Accessing Virtual Machine After Time Machine Migration

    I am hoping that someone else has run up against this problem and is able to help.
    I recently purchased a new iMac.  I upgraded to 8 GB of ram specifically because I have VMware Fusion and want to use it on my new machine.
    I chose to migrate my entire old iMac to the new machine using my Time Machine backup.
    VMware appears to have migrated successfully.  I do not have any trouble accessing the application, but when I try to resume my only virtual machine, which is for Windows XP I get the following message:
    VMware Fusion cannont connect to the virtual machine.  Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it used and rights to access all directories for temporary files.
    How do I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to offer me a clue on how to overcome this.
    If I can't access this machine it appears as if I will be able to create a new one.  I would like to avoid having to do that if it is possible.
    Terri Schurter

    Captfred,
    In that folder there is a virtual machine.  It is called Windows XP Professional.  So it is there.   When I am in VMware Fusion I can see Windows Media Player, which is what I was probably accessing the last time I was in the machine, so it does appear to have backed up the virtual machine.  I would expect it to because it is a part of a Mac application, VMware Fusion.
    It appears to be an issue with permissions that I don't know how to solve.
    I know there is a VMware forum, but I can't even figure out how to sign up for it the darned thing is so confusing.  I can't seem to post to it no matter what I do.

  • Macbook pro won't restart after time machine install on new hard drive

    I installed a new 500 GB HD on my 13-inch mid 2010 Macbook Pro (since the original crashed).  I successfully connected to the Disk Utility via the internet connection and started recovery from a recent Time Machine backup....but, the computer will not restart.  It's been stuck in the grey screen with the Apple logo and rotating status bar all night.  I shut it down and restarted, but it won't go past the grey screen state.  I can't find any answers on the Support Page.  Help. Any one else have this issue?  Should I have first installed the Lion OS X first and then restored from the Time Machine backup? 
    Also, wondering if all my programs (2011 ILife & IWork and Microsoft Office) will be reinstalled with the back up?  (I can't find my installation disks for ILife and IWork :-()

    Time machine is easy to set up and theoreticaly recover from. There have been reports of problems when a different disk or computer is used.
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=true&q=time+machine
    For future reference you may wish to learn about and use cloning of the HDD. I use both CCC and SD to do this and consider it to be the most reliable way to back up and recover.

  • Missing a month's emails after time machine migration

    I backed up my MacBook Pro before migrating all the data to a new iMac. Opening Mail on the iMac I discover I am missing the last month's emails. What might be the problem? Has TIme Machine lost them or not recognised them? How can I now get the missing email datga from the Macbook Pro into the new iMac Mail package? Advice, please.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
