Best way to migrate Aperture version from old imac

Hi,
What is the best way when you want to upgrade from Aperture V2 to Aperture V3 with a new one imac ?
I have an imac with Aperture V2 and i want to buy a new imac and migrate in the same time to Aperture 3.
Do i ask to pre-install Aperture 3 in the new imac , and do a migration after from the old one imac to the new one,
Or, no pre-install, migrate to the new imac ( so aperture v2), and after that install Aperture V3 an do the Aperture migration.
Thanks for your help.

You might consider the fact that Aperture from the App Store is cheaper than pre-installed.
You can copy your A2 library over to the new computer and then open with A3 to upgrade.

  • Best way to transfer certain files from old iMac to new (have Time Machine)

    Hey guys.  I'm going to be in the process of moving my data over from my old iMac to a new one.  I have been using Time Machine for a while w/ mostly Snow Leopard and Lion on my old iMac so everything is certinaly backed up via those means.  However, the new iMac will be on Mountain Lion and it's a fresh clean install that I really don't want to muck up with all the *crap* I've accumulated over the years.  So I've decided I only want to transfer the important files to me and I'll install any applications fresh later.  The files I really need are my extensive iTunes library, all my photos, all my documents.  My e-mail is on IMAP so I believe that will sync on its own. 
    Can the Time Machine migration assistant that pops up with a new computer at setup able to do these specific tasks without an all or none deal?  Or should I copy and paste out of Time Machine or maybe even the external drive itself.  I've had issues copying and pasting iTunes libraries in the past where it lost its entire architecture some how.
    Any advice appreciated

  • What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
    The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and  create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
    But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

  • Best way to "transfer" Aperture images from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" to import and edit images (within Aperture and CS6 as an external editor) when I'm out in the field shooting.
    I prefer to have all my images in one location and thus desire to copy eveything to my home base iMac when I return home.
    What is the best way to "transfer" those images so that my homebase iMac Aperture Library can recognize the new masters and edited versions?  Complicating this is the desire to "stamp" each image with a metadata preset upon import that I can do either at the laptop import or upon transfer to the iMac.
    I know just enough to be dangerous but clearly there is an optimal way to consolidate and manage images when using two computers.
    Welcome any thoughts from fellow photographers!
    Chris

    Thanks Kirby.  I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library.  So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop.  By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
    What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
    Thanks for your continued assistance.

  • Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

    I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

    I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
    When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

  • Best Way to Migrate Home Folders from Dell Windows 2003 to XServe 10.6

    We are migrating Directory services and File service from a Windows Server to an Xserve running 10.6. What is the best way to copy over all of the data including everyone's home folders from the Windows server to our new Xserve while preserving the file attributes?
    Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jay,
    good news for you - since Oracle 11g it is allowed to have a physical standby between Windows and Linux. So the absolutely easiest way would be to build up a standby on your new Linux server, do a switchover with one minute downtime at a maximum ... and that's it.
    You may check ML Note:413484.1 for certification (the table shows which OS mix is allowed).
    The process will be the following:
    1) Let RMAN build up your standby automatically through the network while your PROD is still running
    2) Once RMAN has done this job you'll do a simple switchover
    If a standby solution is not an option for you, then you could use Data Pump on a NETWORK_LINK.
    This means: You build up a new and empty database on your RHEL server - you create a database link between those two databases.
    Then you run a full import without creating a dump file through the db-link:
    IMPDP usr1/password NETWORK_LINK=db_link1 FULL=Y
    You may check out Note:553337.1 for more info on Data Pump.
    Transportable Tablespaces or Transportable Database with RMAN would also be an option but those require some additional prep work.
    Kind regards
    Mike

  • Best Way to migrate Planning application from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2

    Hello Gurus,
    What is the best way to move or upgrade the planning applications from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2 ?
    Is there an option to use LCM to move the planning application by exporting it from EPM 11.1.1.3 and then importing it in EPM 11.1.2.2 .
    I think there are many functions that are deprecated in EPM 11.1.2.2,hence it fails with errors.
    I would like to know if there is any other way around.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    HyperEPM

    If you are on 11.1.1.3 classic using Essbase business rules, you are forced to convert to calculation manager. You can't use Essbase Business Rules in 11.1.2.2.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200/frameset.htm?launch.html see the "Business Rules Maintenance Release and Upgrade Installation Prerequisites"
    Personally I would rewrite them to be safe - yes it takes longer but you know its safe and probably a good time to revisit it anyway.

  • Migrate photo's from old iMac to new iMac - Thunderbolt / firewire

    I have a Mid 2007 iMac and just ordered the new iMac.
    When it arives what is the best way to transfer my photo library. The old imac has a firewire port but the new iMac have thunderbolt so what cable do I need?
    Thanks

    Yes.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Best way to migrate to a multi user imac

    I would like to migrate the entire contents of my iMac 2.4 20" to my iMac2.8 24", which has three users already. Is there a way to do this without affecting those users?

    You should first create a new user account on that iMac you want to migrate TO.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log in to that account. You can run Migration Assistant while logged into that new account, and it should migrate to that account, and not affect the other accounts.
    Note: Mac OS X needs free space on the startup volume to operate efficiently. If migrating in your data reduces the available free space to under 15-20% of the total storage, that may affect the other users if the iMac starts to bog down.
    You can also use Finder to manually copy over your files.
    To connect the two Macs, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    You put the old iMac into target mode. When the two Macs are connected, the hard drive on the old iMac should appear as an external drive on the new iMac's desktop.
    Or you can use networking (with File Sharing). For networking, it can be either wired or wireless. FireWire is usually much faster for file transfer, compared to networking.

  • What are the best ways to keep my 4 year old iMac going?

    I want to put off having to buy a new desktop iMac as long as possible so, while I'm using my 4+ years old iMac, what are the things I should (or should NOT) do to look after it?  I know that temperature and humidity must be avoided but here in England (UK) it rarely gets too hot, so what else I should be aware of?

  • HT4007 Migrated Aperture 3 from old Mac to new Mac - it will not Register correctly, and asks for product codes when started

    I've migrated software from my old Macbook Pro to my New Macbook Pro Retina and the process went ok, except for Aperture 3, It asks for the product codes when started, after 5 starts it asks for Registration details, which I've completed, but on the next start it asks for the product codes again - it is still working correctly on the orginal machine, and shows it is Licensed to me etc - but on the new Mac there is no License information - I should be able to run the software on both machines - anyone any ideas - I've got the original Aperture 2/3 discs so I can install from scratch, but that seems to defeat the whole process of Migration Assitant -  

    Hi Guys - looking through other threads I've used the method suggested by Frank Caggiano on Dec16 2011 - it worked a treat - thanks Frank
