Buying a used Mac with CS6 installed. What are requirements of buyer and seller?

I want to be sure the transfer is completely legal and that seller can't deactivate CS6 after I purchase.

If I buy a used Mac with Final Cut Pro and other software pre-installed, will they be updateable?

I want to buy a used Mac for video editing and there are alot of them with FCPX and other software already installed. If I buy one of these will I be able to do future updates to the software?

If they were downloaded from the Mac App store, no. In fact, the licenses are not transferable. Technically, it's not legal to sell you the machine with apps from the Mac App store still installed.

You need to run a platform swap:

Until it's through, you can use the trial version.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer. See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (if you don't already have it -- OS 10.6), but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing, or if you already have some lower 10.6 version, run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

Buying a used Mac - what to look out for

I'm not really sure this should be in the MacBook Pro forum, but I had to put it somewhere.
I'm considering buying a used Mac for my son. My daughter is using an old Aluminum PowerBook and when she gets older, I'll upgrade her as well. For my son the unit will be for mostly at home, so it doesn't need to be a laptop, but since laptops can basically be used as desktops as well, I'm posting here.
What I want to know are any "gotcha's" that might not occur to me. For example, such and such types don't have particularly good battery life, the hard drive on this one is easy to change but not on that one. This one is known to have video problems but that one is great, etc.etc. Things to look out for or be aware of.
I'm not adverse to buying old PPC based systems. Some of the old PowerMacs with G5 processors can be had for really, really low prices, but they're obviously limited to Leopard.
This is a 10 year old boy, so I'm not going to spend a fortune on it. Kids will be kids, you know.
Thoughts anyone?

I assume you're ruling out completely all iBook G3's, right?
If you got a butt kickin' PowerMac it might be quite a machine at quite a price. I've seen some G5 quad core's selling for as little as $100. With something that old, though, how long will it be before there's something like a power supply failure.
Watch out for 17" iMac's from the 2006-2007 era. The displays have a tendency to develop vertical lines, and once they start doing it, it spreads like a disease across the display. WIth a unit like that you would have to use an external display and hide the original.
Some of the earlier MacBooks had some battery issues and charging issues.
I know for a fact that if you get a 2009 MacBook and put 4G of RAM into it you can comfortably run Mavericks. Of course if you read the posts of some of the people on this site they will claim you can ***never*** run Mavericks comfortably on anything. I'm not really sure what their problems are. You can pick one of these up for less than $200 for one in moderate shape to slightly over $200 for one in good shape.
As with any laptop, check the battery out. On all systems check the HD and OD, especially the latter, to see if their working. I had to do a refurbishment/resell program on some of our older stuff and the ODs were bad in almost all of them. Thoroughly check the HD if the unit is a laptop or it's over 3 years old (just my advice).
As far as PowerBooks, they're going to be too slow to handle any online video, but probably suitable enough for anything else. You can (I'm not joking) pick up a decent 12" model (1.33GHz, for example) for less than $70. You could also look at the 15" models but be wary of a problem some of them developed over time with RAM chips in a certain bank not being recognized.
For reasons known only to God, old Titaniums are selling for more than Aluminum PowerBooks. I really wonder if people on eBay see the black Titanium keyboard on the metal base and think they're getting a new unit. Titaniums in good shape are a rarity because the hinges in the back liked to bust. They also ran hot enough to burn your legs. I'd steer clear of them.
Most of the G4 iBooks we had and tested seemed OK. Some of the iMac G5s seem to be remarably solid. With the 2009 Intel iMac's (and maybe 2010 as well) you may need to be careful about the drive you install do to an unusual thermal monitoring setup.
Well. That's if for me now.
Later.

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

Hello cpreasbeck,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
Transition Guide Xserve
http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.
Regards,
Jeff D.

Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15:

It will input your Quicken PPC data file directly if it was Quicken 2005 through 2007. If older you need Quicken 2006 or 2007 PPC first to convert your data file; and this update must be done BEFORE you upgrade to Mavericks:

You should use Airport Utility, in your Utilities folder (or you can search for it in Spotlight, the magnifying glass in the top right of your screen) to administer the Airport. There, you can change the wireless network settings, including the network name.

Used MacBook with no install discs...

I just bought a used MacBook with no install discs for the OS.
I would like to know what my options are for getting the OS.
How much am I going to have to spend to follow the guidlines and EULA?
Thanks

If you don't have your install disks you can get the two gray install disks by callingApple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need. With the original disks you also get the iLife that was current when your MacBook was bought included on the #2 disk.
Or you can get Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 and iWork '09 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgradedto 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.

Would I be able to use this software if I wasn't the original purchaser?
How does licensing work in a situation like this?

Hi Darryl,
Provided it isn't an Education version (which are non-transferrable with Adobe), plus if you meet the other criteria for a license transfer, then it could be possible to legally do it.

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, the App Store is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".
Is there anything I should do differently? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
Kindly help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
