Can I import dashboard widgets to my new computer?

I have a decent number of widgets on my old Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running 10.4.11.   Most of them still work, and I used to check out a lot of news widgets every day.   Problem is, a lot of those widgets I can either no longer find while searching online, or simply have dead links now on Apple's site.
Can I just grab them off the old computer with the wdgt file and plop it into my new Quad Core i7 with Lion... or is that too simple that it must be impossible? Does anyone know? 
I'm planning to wipe the old computer and do a clean install of my OS and pass it on to my mother (she's a Dell user thrice over, but I'm doing my hardest to get her to see the light)... but I don't want to lose those precious little nuggets of joy.
Thanks.

You will want to install them from the installation media.

  • How can I import my library to a new computer?

    Hi:
    I just bought a new computer, and I'm trying to import my library from my old computer to the new one. I've transferred my 'My Music' folder (along with the iTunes folder inside it) onto the new computer using an external hard-drive, and I've reinstalled iTunes, but when I import the XML file (which I manually backed up from my old computer), I only get 400 songs of my 6,000 (I think these are the songs from 'My Music / iTunes').
    I've tried clearing my library and just adding 'My Music' folder, and although this gets all my songs into the library, it puts the full file name under song name (my files don't have any tags on them), and it leaves the artist field blank. Basically, I'd have to go through all my songs and re-do the sorting fields.
    I think the problem is that on my old computer, the pathway to 'My Music' was different from the pathway to 'My Music' on my new computer. Does anyone know how I can get my library to look exactly the same as it did on my old computer? As I've said, I have all the files in place, and I have the XML file ready to go. I think I just need to figure out how to get iTunes to find the songs in 'My Music'.
    Thanks!

    It's a brand new computer, so there wasn't an iTunes folder in the music folder. I just copied it there from my external hard-drive. I think the problem is that on my old computer the pathway to my songs was: C/documents and settings/Ken/my documents/my music, and on my new computer the pathway is C/documents and settings/dell 720/my documents/my music. I have the songs in the right folder, and I have the iTunes folder inside the folder as well, but iTunes is only finding the iTunes folder ... it isn't finding the songs in the 'My Music' folder. I don't know what to do about this. If I clear my library and start from scratch using 'add folder to library', I'll have to re-enter all my info fields, which isn't a pleasant thought.

  • How can I restore my itunes on a new computer from an external hard drive without a back up?

    How can I restore my itunes on a new computer?
    I use an external hard drive to store all my information i.e. music / apps / movies but my current laptop has just blown up so now using a temp laptop.
    I am looking to try & restore my itunes & all of its information like my playlists / apps & everything else from the hard drive but it does not have a back up in the programmes to restore from that.
    Currently running Windows 7.
    All I want to do is have my itunes back without the pain of looking & reloading all my info which will take me an age.
    Any hints tips or advice that has worked for you would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you store the media library files on the external drive as well?
    If so press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, use the choose option, and connect to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
    If not you will need to start a new library and import the content into it. Do you have any devices that might hold ratings and playlists that could be recovered? If so see the second and third entries from the bottom of the table of recovery tools in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, and read the rest of it if you have any iOS devices.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

    I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
    Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines.  If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.
