After Transfer to new imac - seriel number invalid - Please Advise

I recently purchased a new imac for the use of video editing in Final Cut Studio. When I input the Serial number provided with my software I get a error stating it is an upgrade serial number and I am prompted to input the previous serial number. I also input the original serial number and I get a message stating that the serial number is invalid. Do I need to remove FCP from my previous computer in order to use it on my new computer? Please advise.

...for future's sake—there's no reason to start a brand new thread when you've already got one going on. Especially if you're going to simply copy-paste the text from this thread to begin the "new" one. You're spreading things out which is not the most efficient path to a remedy. That being said...
When you "uninstalled" FCP, how did you do it? Just throw the apps in the trash? Or use Digital Rebellion's FCS Remover?

After transfer to new IMac "original file could not be found" (more)

The music transfers into iTunes, plays once or twice and then eventually gives me this "original file could not be found" message and takes me to finder.
Now all my music does this though. Some of it transfers and stays.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem except almost every song I bought from Itunes has this problem. Not only that, but somehow some of the music, about $125 worth has been deleted form my 3 back up discs. This is only happening with my purchases and not any songs I uploaded from cd. How on earth did this happen, and how did it wipe clean 3 different back ups? I have found some of the music where it belongs, but like I said some of them are gone, gone, gone. I run three different back ups and they are on 24/7. Where is all of this music? I still have it on my ipod, but it will not load back into itunes the way purchases used to. Some of the music is purchased straight to my ipod touch, but shouldn't i be able to reload them into itunes? I spent 3 hours going 1 song at a time reloading them from their original location. But I cannot locate about $125 worth of music that I purchased from itunes. I have 6 macs in my family and preach the good news to all who will listen about hows macs are flawless. Now I have egg all over my face and have thrown away a nice sum of money on missing music. Please help!

Hi Dears
My Apple wireless Mouse and keyboard dose not work since one Month after getting the new iMac 27 !
The Bluetooth assistant could find the Devices for few seconds but can not pairing them ? at least get an error
Operation system is already of version 10.7.5 updated ,but no use ?!
Could getting the Os x 10.7.5 Bluetooth utility repaired after updating to Admin Tools 10.7.5 ?
When not ,than advice me please to repair or solving this problem ,

Your problem is likely due to
com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard 5.9.1
I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

Generally, when going out of the country and using a foreign SIM, carrier files can be changed. Go to Settings>General>About>and look at Carrier? What does it say? You may have to perform a restore. You can try a restore from a backup, that would reinstall the iOS, and would provide the latest AT&T carrier file as well. See if this will fix the problem.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

TM doesn't see its backup after migrating to new iMac and restoring system.

TM doesn't see its backup even though it still exists on the HD. I just migrated to a new iMac. After using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' with TM backup it was showing the latest backup attempt had failed. The same disk was highlighted under TM Preferences too. But once I reset it TM began to make a new backup under a new folder/computer name (adding a number to the end). Is there a way to make TM see the existing BU and continue on?

I'll try to recall to the best of my memory what I did... It's been stressful, frustrating, trying to deal with it.
Computers:
1) iMac6,1 (Late 2006) Intel 2.16 GHz Nvidia OS X 10.5.6
2) iMac8,1 (Early 2008) Intel 2.8 GHz ATI OS X 10.5.4
Perform final backup of iMac #1 with TM and SuperDuper!
Shut down and disconnect.
Hook up iMac #2 and power up.
After OS X intro select 'Transfer from another Mac' with Set Up Assistant (note: this was from the SD! backup).
Everything was selected for transfer; Users, Apps, Network,..etc. (I assumed it would update OS X too).
Transfer complete.
Restart.
Log in.*
* I have both Admin and User account. I noticed things weren't performance was off; log in was slow (Menu Bar items took longer to display, clock too), and generally overall apps,..etc seemed slow. Apps were asking for license and reg info too.
Second attempt (restore system from TM backup):
Startup from OS X 10.5.6 disc.
Erase HD with DU.
Select 'Restore System from Backup'.
Select TM backup.
After that completed, restart computer.
And that brings us to now. Well, sort of.
So what is the proper way to migrate as it were from between two different Intel iMac's? I have to assume I transfered over system files that caused a conflict with the new iMac's HW, correct? What can I do now? I've already performed new backups of both SD! and TM. I didn't think it mattered since either way the backups come from my old system. I'm guessing I should have updated OS X first on the new iMac and only selected User files, Apps, Network settings,.. etc., for transfer, or maybe installed apps fresh. I thought I was doing it correctly.
The new iMac still seems off with performance to me. I've tried performing multiple 'Repair Disk Permissions' too. There are about 32 differing permissions but DU doesn't seem able to repair them as they come up again and again. Here are some examples;
2009-05-15 09:23:47 -0700: Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .

My final attempt to straighten this out is to install from OS X disc fresh (erase/install). Transfer only User files, Network settings, anything pertinent to my Users (email, browser, keychain,..),... and nothing else. Reinstall 3rd-Party Apps. I had to do this before after updating from Tiger to Leopard because it didn't take well.
Any help/insight appreciated.

After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

Help! App reg/licenses missing after migrating to new iMac.

I just finished migrating to a new iMac (2007 2.16 GHz White Lucite -> 2008 2.83 GHz Aluminum). I used the Migration Assistant after starting up the new iMac to transfer everything. I chose "Transfer from another Mac" (which was actually my SuperDuper! backup on an external FW RAID). Everything seemed fine (I even rebooted first). I logged into my Admin account first and it looked the same. But after logging into my User account and trying to open my apps they were starting as though it was their first time, asking for SN and registration info. Safari has reverted from v4 to v3, Aperture wants SN, and iTunes can't open my library because it was created with a newer version, yet Mail worked fine. What happened? And more importantly, what should I do? I don't want to re-enter SN's and info and re-register my apps.
I have both SuperDuper! and Time Machine backups. I was thinking to boot from SuperDuper! as Start Up Disk and then do a complete restore, or if necessary erase the Mac HD first (which I'd prefer not to). Will restoring the new iMac HD with the SD! backup from the older iMac cause any issues?
Addendum:
I just noticed in the System Profiler that OS X is 10.5.4, not 10.5.6. Why didn't it transfer/update the OS as well? Isn't it suppose to transfer everything? Why would I want to downgrade my OS X with a new iMac?

I ended up using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' from Time Machine backup. That returned the system back to almost an exact state as before, but a few apps were still asking for SN, and Mail wouldn't open because it had to reload messages. Strangely though, Aperture won't accept the SN now, whereas it did after the first migration transfer.
Migrating to a new Mac is not as simple and painless as made out to be. At least not clearly enough. It was an all-dayer/nighter full of stress and frustration. Not something I expect from Mac, but a PC.
Another after-effect from this is Time Machine doesn't see its backup now, even though it's there on the external drive. It showed backup failed and then after I reset/highlighted the correct drive it started backing up under a new folder/computer name. I deleted that but can't figure out how to make TM see the existing BU. This has been a lot of fun.

Transfer onto New iMac

I purchased FinalCut Pro using my Apple ID for an Imac in the studio and now want to transfer the Application onto my new iMac. Can you advise how to do this please

Yes it is that simple, copy your events and projects to the new machine. I would recommend that you get a fast Fire Wire drive to keep your events and projects. It will be much faster than keep it on the system drive. After the FCPX is in place you should check for "additional content" from the men ( Final Cut Pro). You can put a copy of FCP on all your computers without paying.

Why can I not enter my CS6 after buying a new iMac?

I leased today an new iMac at the distributor shop adminsystems in Cologne. Mr. Heck, ther owner an the administrator for me wanted to migrate all the data and programms and applications tfrom the old Imac 21,5 " to the new iMac. That would be done by the number which was on the package CS 6 Education Software, I bought over the shop adminsystems im March 2013. After tipping the number you have send me a new number to confirm it. cause I had to switch the provider from 1&1 to all-inkl relaunching my website, I lost the registration number, I can´t find it. It is payed and I am a teacher of the KISD in Cologen, you must have the confirmation of the administration bureau KISD Cologne Ubierring. Now, whenever I want to use CS6 Education Standard, the Mac asks me for the number. can you send the the number, cause everything is clear and correct payed.

Das ist 100% Schwachsinn. Die Programme müssen korrekt installiert werden. Migrationsassistent oder Timemachine kanste in dem Fall in der Pfeife rauchen. Für alles andere den Edu Support anrufen/ per Formular anfunken oder was auch immer. Und beim nächsten Mal den ganzen Spam weglassen.

Logic Pro 8 transfer to new iMac

I just bought a new iMac 5K and want to transfer my Logic Pro 8.
When I start up Logic it asks me for the serial number. I have looked thru the original package and can't find a serial number.
I copied down the serial number of LP8 on my old MacPro but it doesn't seem to work.
How do I go about it? Where do I go or who do I contact?

This is tough but true…...
I wouldn't bother tracking down your serial as Logic 8 does not work on Yosemite 10.10.x.
The 'oldest' version of Logic that will work on your new machine is 9.1.8 but even with the newest version of Logic X a lot of people are having a lot of issues on 10.10.x.
Either way, 8 will not work. Sorry to be the barer of bad news.

Windows iPod Photo Transfer to new iMac G5 Query

Hi,
I have a 40 GB iPod Photo that is fortmated for use with a PC using Windows Pro.
I have over 28 GB data or tracks on it, and i now wish to use it with my new iMac G5 that I have just purchased.
The thing is I dont know how to go about doing this, because I am concerned that if I copnnect it to my iMac G5, iTunes will remove all of the music that is already on my iPod, and I cannot have that happen, as It would take me forever to copy them to CDrom and then timport them into the iMac, I gues it would probably take me all of the Christmas and new year that way, and I have no idea if that would work poperly anyway.
Can anyone advise me how I can achieve my move over to the Apple computer please, without loosing my music. Once this is done I will not be wanting to connect it to my PC again. My iPod Photo is also set to 'Disc Mode' in iTunes so that I can see it as a drive in Windows if this is of any help.
Hope someone here can help or advise me.
Thanks In Advance

Nick,
As far as the Maxtor drive is concerned, I have kept it formatted as a NTFS Windows drive because OS X can read it without any problems at all, and apparently, according to Maxtor's web-site, if I format it as a Mac drive then it will not be recognised by the Windows system, and that I would have to partition it above 32MB!
So, I have purchased a Belkin Wireless Cable Router (it works with ADSL as well) for about 40 UK pounds. This I have connected to my Win XP machine with an Ethernet cable, and I now access both my 10MB Broadband cable connection and my Win XP machine on the iMac via the Airport Extreme wireless connection.
It was extremely (forgive the pun) easy to set-up, and took about 40 minutes from start to finish and that's only because the Windows machine crashed once, but after that it was just fine.
If you can, I would consider going for the Ethernet/Router way because it gives you access to both machines and Internet connections as well as printer and scanner sharing.
So if you wan't to know anything else, just let me know and I will do my best to explain.
Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New year!
