After migrating to new Macbook Pro, Photoshop and Bridge constantly Version Cue Crash

I just upgraded to the new MacBook Pro and CS4 crashes any time I try to open a file. "Fatal error - missing component /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework"  I've read that the best thing to do for that error is to uninstall and reinstall, but my new machine does not have an optical drive, so my old disks don't help much.  Also, I bought CS4 during a limited offer for upgrades to CS1, so I had to call technical support to get it activated, so even if I did manage to reinstall (perhaps by copying my install disks to a USB drive?) I'm expecting to have trouble with reactivating.  Any advice before I start tinkering?

Thanks!  I deactivated it from both the old and new computers, followed the instructions here to copy the install files and it all just worked.
Strangely enough, it did not ask me to reactivate after reinstalling.  It's just working.  It doesn't seem to be upadating properly (I run update, and it comes up with the same 9 updates I just downloaded and applied) but I'll probably be upgrading to CS6 or creative cloud before year's end, so this will do for now.
Thanks again!

    That crash is citing an issue with a ColorSync profile - the AdobeRGB1998 one.
    Try launch ColorSync Utility and see if you can repair it.

  • Lost access to Jam Pack instruments after migration to new macbook pro

    I just migrated to a Macbook Pro and now all the instruments from my Symphony Orchestra Jam Pack are no longer available. I was also getting a message "Native Instruments Installation Folder not found" but after copying the instrument files into the Sampler Instruments from my old macbook to the new one, that went away, but I still don't have access in Finale to those instruments.
    There's still no "Native Instruments Installation Folder" that I know of, but the message no longer appears.
    Are these instruments no longer available in the new Garageband? This is a bit frustrating.

    I FIXED IT!!! After AppleCare told me it couldn't be done...
    I've been searching for hours online and couldn't find this anywhere, so hopefully someone with this challenge will stumble upon this.
    A clue was here: http://www.techvide.com/apple/install-jam-pack-on-mac-os-x-lion
    but this didn't correctly describe my issue with an early version of Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra
    What I did:
    1. Insert Jam Pack DVD 1
    2. ctrl-click Install Jam Pack 4 - Show original
    3. double-click JamPack4_Instruments.pkg
    4. You'll get some Power-PC Not Compatible with Lion warnings (only a few compared with the almost infinite number if you try standard install)
    Instruments now appear and work just fine in garageband. <big sigh>
    I wish AppleCare would know this, and I hope someone is planning on continuing supporting these Garageband instruments.

  • Help with 'disappeared' photos after migration to new macbook pro

    So I got a lovely new macbook pro and successfully seem to have migrated everything from my old G4 powerbook. But, when I go into iphoto all 3,000 plus pictures have only the slash dotted outline and no images. Any suggestions as how to remedy this. Terence Devlin, you were kind enough to try to help me when I was having trouble with getting my pictures to export edited but we never did figure out the problem, so if you're out there and remember me maybe you can advise me here, as I don't know if anything I did in attempting to resolve that issue would impact the situation now. The pictures still exist on the other computer so it's nothing dire but it's weird to have everything look like it's there (in otherwords, the whole thing is set up exactly as my old one was, with the same albums etc.) but no actual pictures inside.... Thank you!!

    To anwser my own question:
    Had to highlight my User Home in finder, and then had to add myself as a user (and click the cogwheel to apply to all files within) and allow myself to 'Read and Write' in permissions.
    For some reason, when I migrated across, it didn't add me as a user - even though I was the administrator of both the old and the new MBP!

  • Time Machine won't start after migration to new MacBook Pro.

    I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro.  Both machines are running OS X 10 (10.7.5 on old, 10.8.2 on new).  I used an ethernet cable for the data migration.
    I'm trying to use the Time Capsule we've been using all along for Time Machine, but Time Machine won't start because there's only 5.1GB free on the device and it wants to run a full backup. "The backup is too large for the backup disk.  The backup requires 252.33 GB but only 5.07 GB are available."
    What are my options?  I'd hate to lose prior versions of all the data I've moved to the new machine, but if I have to, then I have to.  But then I'm not sure how to access the Time Capsulre base as a non-backup drive and delete what's there.
    Thanks for yor help.

    Windows in VM is going to know it's on a different machine, so you'll still have to hop through Microsoft's hoops or you won't get updates.
    Just an FYI: when moving a Fusion virtual machine, the first time you run the virtual machine, you are prompted if you "moved it" or "copied it".  Selecting "moved it" will retain the UUID and prevent Windows from prompting for reactivation.  (However, if it is a copy of the virtual machine and you wanted to run both copies simultaneously on the same network, you must select "copied it" otherwise the copies can't run at the same time.)
    If one did select "copied it" accidentally, then just follow the reactivation prompts.  As long as you're not reactivating a lot then it usually will work the normal way over the internet.  Even if you're forced to call, just tell the support rep that you're reinstalling Windows and type in the really long code that they say.  The few times I've had to call, it was less than 15 minutes.  Again, as long as you're not reactivating a lot (so looking suspiciously like a pirate,) reactivation is a pain, but relatively quick.

  • License not working after migrating to new MacBook Pro

    I migrated recently to a new MacBook Pro. Aperture is finding it hard to recognize my license from earlier MacBook Pro
    Aperture license shows blank. Asks for license. Does not accept my Aperture 2 or 3 license.
    Do I have to ?
    * Backup my data
    * Uninstall Aperture 3 that was migrated
    * Install Aperture 2 again
    * Put license
    * Apply Aperture 3 upgrade again
    * Open photo libraries to check compatibility
    Any recommended way of handling the license recognition with least hassle?
    Last working setup
    * MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz
    * Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    * Aperture 2
    * Aperture 3 upgrade applied to Aperture 2
    Now
    * MacBook Pro i5 2.4GHz
    * Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    * Aperture 3 (Migrated from MBP2.1Ghz)
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Migrating a Pro application will not work, you need to delete the Aperture application, only the ap, from your MBP, and do an install from the supplied disc or download, this should then take you serial number.

    I keep reading people state this, but I've migrated a bunch of times since first getting Aperture 1 (or whatever Apple called it). I just did a migration from a 15" MBP (Early 2009) to a brand spanking new 17" MBP i7. Aperture 2 is working perfectly. I'm not bragging or anything, because if something is going to go wrong, it will go wrong with me. Yet, I haven't had any issues with any migration and "Pro apps" including moving iMacs to iMacs, iMacs to MBP, MBP to iMacs, etc etc.
    Now I'm paranoid that Aperture is going to blow up on me next week!

  • I can't find my data after migrating to new MacBook Pro

    I just finished migrating data from an older model MacBook Pro to a newer one both using OS 10.9.5. After the migration I can no longer see or access my backups on Time Capsule. It may be a permission problem. Any suggestions?

    After the migration I can no longer see or access my backups on Time Capsule.
    You have a new Mac. Have you been backing up the "new" Mac?  If not, that Mac has no backups...yet.
    You do have backups of your other "older" MacBook Pro though.
    You cannot "add on" or "continue" backups of the new Mac onto backups of the older Mac.
    If you want to see the backups of your "older" Mac.......right-click or try control-click or option-click the Time Machine icon on the dock and select Browse Other Time Machine Disks

  • Mail not opening after migration to new macbook pro

    Hello all,
    I recently transferred all of my files using migration assistant from a powerbook G4 to a Macbook Pro and now mail will not open. It will show up in the bar underneath the screen but it won't display anything and it won't quit. Anyone have any solutions?

    Without having to mess with plists, or messing with other arcane buried folders, this solution for me in migrating from a G4 to a Mini.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8843200&#8843200
    Simple. Move the ~/Library/Mail folder out and back in. Read the thread for the specific order. It's easy and save me tons of heartache.

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

    All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

  • HT201364 just purchased new macbook pro retina and not able to download osx mavericks.is this problem common?

    I have just purchased a new macbook pro retina and I am unable to download OSX Mavericks.I would be grateful of any help with this.

    The available download is not able to boot your Mac because of the newer hardware in that Mac. When Apple releases an update that has the necessary drivers, you should be able to download it.
    The versions provided in Recovery will be able to boot your Mac if you need to reinstall.
