After Migration to new MacBook Air 10.7 Lion, Adobe Pro don't work

Just migrated from MacBook to MacBook Air. My Adode Pro kept saying it is part of another suite. After opening the PhotoShop, it will still not work. I had deactivated CS 5 Suite on the old system and activated it on the Air.

Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

I bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
- office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
- firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
- dropbox (ditto)
<these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
MAIN ISSUE:
entourage wont open at all. so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
MY OPTIONS:
please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
A) try to get office 2008 to work.
when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac? and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
i never had issues my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
cheers!

Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.

Migration to new Macbook Air incomplete, disc ejected

Hi,
I am trying to migrate data from an external USB disk with time machine backup of my mid-2007 Macbook to a new Macbook Air 13". I have't found a problem like this in the forums.
The data is ca. 46GB, it shows it should take 24 mins but at 30% all of a sudden it speeds up to a 100%, says the migration was successful but an error window shows up at the same time saying that the disc was not ejected properly etc. And indeed some data was transferred (user preferences, documents) but some (music especially) was not. I have tried this both on a fresh installation at the startup and after having created an additional user account to be able to overwrite (same user name) the one I had already tried to migrate.
The external disc is PQI with two USB ends - I can only plug one in as the other USB port on MBA is on the other side and the other end of the cable won't reach there. I don't think this could be the problem, could it?
At first it seemed to me like the disc was ejected because the data was unreadable or unaccessible(?) on it. So I did a full fresh backup and it still would get ejected and the migration would be incomplete.
I really don't know what I should do. Whether to try and run the migration procedure over and over again, but this seems terribly silly and I don't know if this will duplicate files that have already been transferred or not.
I would greatly appreciate your help in finding the problem here.
Thanks!

A couple of suggestions...
1) An external disk with two usb cords generally uses one of the cords for extra power...
you could try pluging the extra end into a powered usb hub.
2) You could try to sync directly from the existing machine if it is on the same network.
This is what I did.

Startup slow after migration to new MacBook Pro

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

I'm trying to use my older Acrobat 4 for printing files from an older Macintosh with system 9, so that I can store and use the pdf documents in a newer MacBook Air, with OSX 10.9. Acrobat 4 worked previously but no longer works. Any way to fix it?

I am trying to transfer older files from a Mac PowerBook G4, running system 9, printing those documents as pdf, using Acrobat 4. Then those pdf documents will transfer to my newer MacBook Air, running OSX 10, allowing me to store and use them. My problem is that Acrobat 4 no longer seems to work on the old Mac, and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

Can I buy a new MacBook Air and install Lion 10.7?

I am about to buy a new MacBook Air 13" and want to install Lion 10.7 on it. This is for a particular reason related to some of my apps being fine with Lion but not yet updated for 10.8.
So can I buy a MacBook Air which has 10.8 installed, and then erase te drive and install 10.7.4 from a DVD (which I already have here)?
Thanks.

You possibly have an option. If you are wanting to buy a "stock" model, as opposed to a "build to order" model, then you might be able to find a MacBook Air at a retailer, like Best Buy", who may have older stock with Lion installed. I'm not sure how long a retailer might have old stock. I suppose it depends on their policies and turnover. Any that are in stock are elligible for a free Mountain Lion upgrade, such that you would have the ability to run either, at your discretion.
Once I got my new MBA, one ofthe very first things I did was to create a clone backup. That way, I could more easily revert if ever I wanted to.

IPhoto Not Responding after Migration to new MacBook

Gang,
I bought my wife a new White MacBook and I used the Migration Assistant to move her data from her old iBook. Everything went well except for iPhoto. When I opened it for the first time it started updating the photo library but it hangs at around 32 minutes remaining. In the activity monitor it goes red and says Not Responding. It has done this 4 time now even after reboots. Also, the photos did transfer over and can be seen in the Desktop/ScreenSaver Preference.
Any ideas how to get past this?
TIA,
James

Gang,
I have deleted the iPhoto Library and replaced it several times but each time when I open iPhoto on the new MacBook it wants to update the library and then after about 3 minutes it will hang. In the Activity Monitor the process turns red and reads (not responding).
This has been going on for two days now and it is the only thing I can not get working on her new MacBook.
On the old iBook iPhoto works just fine.
Any ideas???????
TIA,
James

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.

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!

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.

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!

Is the new macbook air any good for logic pro?

hi. i currently have a heavy 15" macbook pro with i7 dual core 2.66GHz processors.
i travel a lot and am really thinking about getting a macbook air.
i want to know if any logic users are on the new 13" macbook air and how they find it.
can it run large sessions ok?
do you miss the firewire port or a larger screen?
does it get super hot after heavy use and does this drain the battery?
thanks for chipping in... appreciate it!

You should really be fine with battery life, but the Air does get quite hot under stress. It will also have a lot less power than your i7 MBP so it really depends on how much CPU your typical projects use, expect just over half of your current CPU use to max out your air. On the other front, having an SSD means you will get pretty awesome streaming from your HDD, meaning that you probably won't ever be able to load too many audio tracks.
The only counter I see to that is that you'll be pretty short on HDD space if you plan to keep your Mac portable. (IE no external HDD) and no FireWire is an instant No-Buy for all us FireWire interface based producers. Of course you have your bigger MacBook to pass things onto. All in all it's a great buy for a sketch pad type machine to get ideas down on the go, but understand that for a few reasons (FireWire, processing power, uselessness for me on a desktop due to small screen and keys) I would always plan to pass the song up to your MBP when I get home as its a superior machine in everything but size.
Hope that's been helpful.

Mail slow on brand new Macbook Air w/ Mountain Lion

Hi all,
I just bought a MacBook Air last month with OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. But the Mail application is annoyingly slow.
I import form a gmail account. But shouldn't be a problem in itself, should it?
I've seen other discussions, but they all involve problems after upgrading to Moutain Lion. I just got it out of the box and already it's slow.
Anyone?
Thanks a lot!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

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
