Bought a new imac and want to load the Leopard software on my old imac

every time I load the disc and it goes into installation mode, it says Leopard can't be installed on this computer.
I'm using the G-5 imac without the built in camera. I have 10.4.11 currently installed on this machine.
Is there something I need to do before trying to install 10.5?
Thanks in advanced

It sounds like you are using the Drop-In DVD that came with Macs that were sold after Leopard came out but already had Tiger installed.
Those DVD's only work on a very narrow range of late model (fall 2007 - spring 2008 ?) Intel Macs, and I don't think they will work at all on any G5.
You will need to buy the retail Leopard DVD.

Is your laptop running Windows XP, windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1? If so then I suggest download a tool that will retrieve the serial number from the old laptop which you can use it on your new machine. The tool is called:
Belarc Advisor
It can be downloaded from here:
<http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisorinstaller.exe>
Install this and then run it by double clicking on its icon and then wait for about 5 minutes while it generates all the info about your machine and software keys.

How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G. I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information. How do i do that?

The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

Hello, Just bought a new camera, Tried to import files to elements 12 on the Mac and Elements 10 on Windows... Both computers I get error message:Nothing was imported. Files or folders selected did not contain any supported files... They are Raw (new) files.. It is the only files I had ever imported and it has always imported them in the past.. What could have changed?

Hi Daytrip589,
Just wondering if you're situation has been resolved. I have a similar problem with PSE 11, getting the message about nothing was imported. I shoot RAW, have imported with this camera before ( a Canon G15) but couldn't the last time I tried. Cheers, Glenn.

Bought a new Ipod and wanted to upgrad the softwares too - what a mess!

Please advise to install QuickTime!!!
Anything seems to help to my problem with the QuickTime installation error (code 3 when installed with iTunes and code 1402 and 1603 when updated separately), even I have tried all the tricks and steps found on this forum to the same error codes.
So, my error messages 1402 relates to the hkeylocalmachines/software/classes/QuickTime.gt/DefaultIcon - I have all the possible rights to my pc, but still anything can't be done with this in Regedit. I can't open the Quictime.gt at all nor check rights,as it's not opening.
When I cleaned my pc, with the guidance found here, of all the files left after removing the softwares I noticed that in Regedit there is lot of files directly under Classes named with QuickTime* - should those removed as well?
Thanks in advance! Brgs, JaanaLiisa
ps. eveything worked ok with the old iTunes and QuickTime, so this upgrade was very bad thing to do

When QT7 first came out, I ran into the same problem you are having. What I did was remove QT using the add/remove control panel, then did a search for all files all folders that were left behind and deleted them as well.
Next I went into the registry. HKEYLOCALMACHINE+Software and deleted Apple Computer,Inc. I then went to the Edit menu of the registry, selected Find and type in QuickTime. To locate registry entree's left behind.
After selecting Find from the Edit menu of the registry and type in QuickTime, you then hit the enter key on the keyboard. When a QT entree appears you delete it. You then hit the F3 key on the keyboard, which locates the next key. You keep repeting this process untill you have deleted all QT. There are many.
Once I had everything related to QT completely removed from the computer, I then ran.

The registry is risky to go into if a mistake is made it could involve re-installing the OS, so you may want to back it up, if you can count on that. Some people have used this link and claimed good results.

No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.

Just as an aside - I have been getting messages on here from Adobe Admin saying that CS5 cannot be reinstalled because everything is now in the cloud and that for $350 I can buy CS6 to install on my new computer. What? Am I getting spammed on Adobe's site here?
Where did you see that?

You need to use a 3rd party utility such as Touchcopy - this will allow you to rebuild your library on the computer from the iPhone.

As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

Import the music on the external HD into iTunes. If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences. Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

I bought a new computer and want to transfer pics from a regular folder to the new computer. These aren't in the cloud so they didn't transfer automatically. What's the best way to do that? Can I sync my old computer to my new computer through I tunes and transfer them that way?

iTunes will only transfer them to your iPad, and once transferred to your iPad they cannot be imported to your other computer (only camera roll photos can). You will either have to use a usb flash drive or external drive to transfer them, or use an app like PhotoSync, which will transfer photos between your devices and computers over your wifi.
