Can I move my current Adobe programs to a new computer?

Can I move my currently-installed Adobe programs to my new computer? If so, what are the steps?
Thanks!

You do not move, you need to install them properly using your original install media or downloaded installers and the serial numbers. Deactivate your programs on your old system, too, using Help --> Deactivate. When you install, obey the correct version order - older versions before newer ones to avoid conflicts. That's all there is to do. if you encounter specific problems, come back to this forum.

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.

How can I move my catalog and pictures to a new computer?

I'm using PSE 6 under XP. I want to install PSE 8 on a new Win 7 computer. How can I move all my pictures and my currnet catalog to the new computer?
Thanks,

Install PSE 8 on the old computer and convert your catalog to PSE 8 format there. Then use the backup/restore method in PSE 8 to move the catalog and photos to the new computer. See these FAQs for details:

How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up: Calendars, Contacts and Notes. I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer! WHY?!?
When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
HELP, please. I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
Thanks in advance...
Kristin

How can I move my preferences and extensions to a new computer? Have I done it successfully?

My old computer crashed. I've set up the new computer. I copied all the profile files/folders to the profile on the new computer in both the local and roaming folders.
Does this copy over my preferences and extensions? The help pages say they don't tell how to copy those since they can be the cause of problems. However, they weren't problems. So I want them copied. The extensions folder on the old computer was empty (I don't recall if It'd had any installed or just bookmarked some.) I remember making some specific preferences changes in that "advanced" file (that worked fine afterward.)
So with what I did, did I successfully copy everything over? If not - where are the extensions and preferences so that I can copy them over?
Bonus big question - is there a way to merge my old browsing history with the history on the new computer that I used for 10 days? Right now I set those 10 days as a separate profile, so I can save and go check it if I really need to.
Thanks!

Take the good profile and copy it to the new computer. Also copy all
of your add-ons. On the new computer, start Firefox. Once it is running,
shut it down. Then transfer the information from the old profile to the new.
Thess add-ons can save all add-ons into a single folder for transfer.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Can I move Photoshop from my old to my new computer?

I purchased a new computer. Can I uninstall Photoshop from my old and install it on my new computer?

you are licensed for two concurrent installations/activations so you do not have to uninstall it.
but, if you no longer have use for the previous install then, before you uninstall it, you should deactivate (help>deactivate) it.

How can I sync my current iPod touch to a new computer?

I am in need of some assistance. I had my iPod Touch synced with my computer, but my computer died and I cannot fix it. I bought a new computer and put iTunes on it, but it tells me that if I want to sync my iPod with it, it will have to erase everything I have put on my iPod. I have been adding things for the past 3 years and I do not wish to lose everything and put nothing on it like iTunes is suggesting. Does anyone know of a way to put what I have on my iPod onto my new pc? Please help!

Huh?
You can sync to any computer you like. You can sycn to your new computer. You have simply failed to keep your content safe.
Apple assumes that you will do the very basics of owning a computer and maintain a backup copy of your computer.
The only issue here is that you failed to do the basics.
Very sorry.
Transfer your itunes purchases as I described earler.

Can I move my CS5.5 software to a new computer?

I own a copy of Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium, and am going to be getting a new computer soon. Will I be able to install my copy of CS 5.5 on my new machine? Also: can I have a single copy of CS 5.5 installed simultaneously on both my desktop system and my laptop so that I can take my projects with me when I travel?
Thanks in advance,
ToddC

Yes to both questions.
If you have it on an old computer that you won't use any more, deactivate the software before installing on the new machine.

How do I move my current Firefox with bookmarks to new computer?

I am changing jobs and before returning my existing computer I would like to transfer all my Firefox information including saved passwords and bookmarks. How do I do this?

All the settings you make in Firefox, like your home page, what toolbars you use, saved passwords and bookmarks are all stored in a special [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profile] folder.Your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profile] folder is kept in a separate place from the Firefox program so that if something ever goes wrong with Firefox your information will still be there. It also means you can uninstall Firefox without losing your settings and you don't have to reinstall Firefox to clear your information or troubleshoot a problem. <br>
You can Back up your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profile], Instruction

How many times can i move my InDesign 5.5 to a new computer?

I have indesign 5.5 & Design Standard 5.5 which has already been installed on 2 machines in the past.
Is there a limit to the amount of times that this software can be moved to a new PC?

No, but there is a limit to the number of installations that you can have activated at any one time (2).

I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations. It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday. Please advis

I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations. It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday. Please advise.

The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

Can I 'move' my current Win XP Pro sytem into boot camp?

Searched high and low, but haven't been able to find an answer to this.
Can I 'move' my current Windows XP Pro SP2 installation into the Boot Camp Partition of one of the new iMacs?
By 'move' I mean something like ghosting/backing up the current C drive and then restoring it into the boot camp partition.
I'm relatively tech savvy (at least on the Windows side) so fiddling with / re-installing drivers etc shouldn't be a problem (as long as Windows comes up and recognizes at least the keyboard)
Thanks

You should download and play with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Not as a final solution, but as an in between. they have some utilities for moving Windows machines and images into virtual machines and also utilities for moving between virtual machines and boot camp - so some combination of those might be the solution you're looking for.
Personally, I just run XP and Vista in Parallels - it works perfectly.
