De-authorize before transferring to new machine?

I will be transferring my data and apps to a new machine. I currently have 3 authorizations in iTunes. Should I de-authorize before transferring to the new machine? My concern is that it may disassociate all of my devices and data.

Should I de-authorize before transferring to the new machine?
If your are not going to use the old computer with iTunes, your should deauthorize it.
Doesn't matter if you do it before or after you transfer to the new computer.

  • When attempting to play songs on itunes, getting error message that file cannot be found and asked if i want to locate it.  not sure where it went. do have new computer and all files were transferred to new machine.

    I just tried to play some songs that i have in itunes and i get an error message that says file can't be located.  It appears to be on about half the songs of the thousands I have in there.  I do have a new computer and transferred the itunes library about a month ago.  I have successfully managed ipod on new computer.  I wonder if it is a licensing issue but this is just the second computer althought the third hard drive these songs have been on.  It is affecting songs loaded from CD's and purchased from itunes on the old computer alike. 

    Hi angela dfromtx,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

    Has anyone transferred their PS CC subscription to a new machine? how do you download the app without buying again?

    I would thin you just do what you did on your first machine.  If you getting rid of your  first machine you should you should lso sign our from the cloud desktop.   On your ne machine all you should need to do is install the cloud desktop application. Open it sign in to your ID with the subscription and install the products you do, Its the sign in the and account with a subscription the does the authenticating and activates products.

  • Transferred to a new machine

    I Have recently upgraded to a Macbook Pro and I have just
    installed Dreamweaver 8 on it. Problem is I don't know what folders
    / files to transfer to and where to retaain sites, ftp details,
    passwords etc? I have a cloned copy of my previous machine on an
    external hard Drive so I have all the files I need, and I just need
    to know where they need to sit?

    > ope, I didn't do that before I sold the machine?
    DEFINITIONS ( are they dftp
    > detials etc?) don't they sit anywhere? do they have to
    ve exported?
    the site definitions contain the information that is used to
    Define a Site
    in dreamweaver... The location of the local folder, the
    remote server, the
    ftp username/password and so on.
    IF you still have the old machine running- go into dw
    menu-->Site-->Manage
    Sites and select a site from list and click EXPORT. Save the
    .ste file.
    Repeat for each site.
    move the .ste files to the new machine (keep in one folder)
    dw menu-->Site-->Manage Sites
    click Import and browse to the .ste file.
    repeat for each (dw8 should "see" and import all .ste files
    in that folder
    automatically though)
    If you don't have the old running but have a full copy of the
    old HD, you
    could put a copy of the old Preferences file into the proper
    location on the
    new machine.
    Macintosh running osX:
    Dreamweaver 4 users:
    HD/users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver/Preferences
    Dreamweaver MX users:
    HD/users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver MX
    Prefs
    Dreamweaver 2004
    HD/users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver MX 2004
    Prefs
    Dreamweaver 8 users:
    HD/users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver 8 Prefs
    After moving the file, restart dw. The list of sites should
    then show in the
    new install on the new machine.
    You should then step through each defined site to edit them
    for any changes
    in the local site folder's location (because of a different
    HD or User name
    on the new machine)
    things to check-
    local info, location of Local Site folder, and location of a
    default image
    folder
    site tab- location of site's 'homepage'
    This assumes that you have already moved the "Local Site
    Folder" for each
    defined site onto the new machine. The local site folder is
    what contains
    all the site's assets- the image files and html page files.
    If the HD name or user changed, there may also be wrong paths
    in the helper
    applications list on the dw preferences-->file types and
    editors list.
    ***My suggestion- if it's only a few sites involved, hand
    define them one by
    one to avoid messing the preferences file up. Only move the
    file if it's
    like 30 or more sites and you want to save time.***
    (if you don't have the ftp info written down someplace, you
    can extract them
    from the preferences file. go to
    http://navbars.net and follow the
    "lost
    password" link) Then Write The Info Down....

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

    How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
    username/Music/itunes
    Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
    username/music/
    This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive

  • New machine + transfer account

    Hello
    i just bought the new g5 tower, middle size one.
    i read apples info on transferring my account from my old machine to my new one, seems simple enough, but....
    a fellow subscriber said i should do the following before i migrate the account to the new machine from the old one.
    Make sure G4 has 10.4.3 on it and clone drive to the new PM G5 using Carbon Copy Cloner via Firewire Target Disk mode. The Migration Assistant may not copy all files -- like important invisible ones -- in some instances.
    I have other questions:
    my question is will this apple automated set of migration tasks also automatically deauthorize my purchased i-tunes account on old machine and reauthorize new machine?
    we have 2 external hard drives. ive read tons on people losing data or not being able to connect to their drives after migration or upgrade. Should I just unplug them during transfer from old machine or leave them plugged in? or does it not mtter?
    the old machine is a powermac g4 mdd.
    im scared.
    when i read the lower level (more in depth) details on migration it strated talking on a level that intimidated me. things like firmware & firewire upgrades, how do i know if im supposed to upgrade firmware or not and on which machine?
    basically, i am in an overall quandry. maybe i should stop worrying about all the in depth stuff and just do it and save myself anightmare.
    thanks

    Well, there is no evidence at all that there are specific installs. In fact, in conversations with many developers, they have told me there is no such thing. If there are problems from clones, then the original was bad. It is not about risk, at all. This forum is replete with problems from Tiger installs. Is that evidence that Tiger is bad? Of course not. I have done at least 100 clones for clients, in this fashion, and have not seen one instance of a bad insatll, or problems, from cloning. I do all the work, and I know how. It does not matter from which machine, to what machine the clone is going, either.
    Now, let's discuss licensing. because someone buys a new machine, and wants to clone his old Tiger to it, this is not a violation, at all. If both machines have Tiger (not the case here, of course). But, let me say this. It is getting downright obnoxious for people with no idea, nor any standing in the issue, to keep mentioning licensing. It is irrelevant to the question, in almost all instances, and makes the writer seem pretentious and a little sanctimonious.

  • Material transfer - older to newer machine

    -
    I just got a new “iMac”. — A 27 in. “duo”. Still in the box, still at the store.
    And, I’m trying to gather as much information as I can, before shifting both my main focus, along with transfering, some portion of my main work at this point—(i.e. apps, files - general, plus larger catalogging of images)—from my older machine, to it.
    I’m currently running OS 10.4.11, on an “eMac”. / - (w/ a full gig of RAM, plus a 300 gig HD.)
    I’ve been told, that with using a fire-wire cable, I can transfer data from one machine to the other, with being guided where presented with the option/ opportunity to do so, where and when initially setting up my newer machine.
    But, before I unpack my new machine, I’d like to find out - as much as can, more specifically, what’s possible - exactly, where considering this operation; .. if I elect to follow this line. — (Essentially, ... whether I can isolate all, of the material that I move over, and then, file it subsequently; .. which I would prefer. This, as opposed to its perhaps being routed to different areas - potentially, and “plugged in” to different things, more automatically - with my opting to follow this path; .. which I don’t, want.)
    With this idea, I’m basically looking for some material online, which describes this process; .. i.e. the various options, more specific, it presents in fact.
    This, or either perhaps, some simpler general guidance - relative to this idea, provided by someone here at this forum.
    Of more incidental note - relative to this all above: I’ve got a 500 gig external HD - USB, set aside - also usable potentially, for whatever transfer of material.

    Hi, when I get a new Mac this is what I do (5 family Macs)
    Some of your 3rd party & other Apps will not run on the new 27"
    I set up my Macs without Mig Asst. First set it up Out of Box, basic settings, I then Repair Permissions, then hopefully you use MobileMe -> you can Sync most of your Contacts, Bookmarks etc. etc..I then use the external HD to store my major files from the older Mac (sorting as required) & then you can dragNdrop onto your New Mac. 3rd party Apps will need Re-installing (CD-Rom or Internet)
    You can also use your home network (if you have one) to accomplish some of the transfers..
    I usually use the new Mac without to much on it for a few days, personalizing it to my requirements.
    After that after each big transfer I run Repair Permissions...L

  • What _doesn't_ transfer to new machine via target disk?

    Hello,
    I upgraded from an old 867 tower to a Mac Pro and during installation I transferred my old disk's files via the firewire target disk mode. Everything seemed to transfer exactly, and most applications run fine.
    Most.
    Recently I found that Quicken couldn't find my current financial file, and I couldn't find it anywhere on the new machine, so I had to hook the old machine back up (glad I didn't erase the disk and sell it like I'd planned!) & transferred it manually. Now, Dreamweaver can't access my website at all, & I'm not sure what settings to even look at.
    What doesn't get transferred when transferring files with this method? Where should I look (and for what) when I run across these oddball flukes?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this admittedly ambiguous question.
    Best,

    I said before that if you transfer all your PPC applications as well as contents of the /Library/ and /System/ folders you will end up losing all the benefits of the Intel machine or worse you will have to reinstall OS X. PPC software is not intended to be used on Intel Macs, especially at the system level.
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

  • Trouble transferring to new laptop

    I currently have my itunes on my computer, but recently tried to move all of the songs onto my laptop. I was told an easy way to do it was to save it all onto a memory stick, and then plug it into my laptop. I did that, and dragged all the songs onto my itunes, yet it won't syncronise onto my ipod. Anyone know how to sort it out?

    How to Copy and Move (Clone) your iTunes Library from One Computer to Another – or Archive Prior to a PC Re-Image or Reformat
    This well-written iLounge Article is a must-read for anyone considering moving their Library to a new computer or a new location. Or, just wants a better understanding of how iTunes manages your music.
    Below is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
    The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
    Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
    NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
    iTunes Files to Copy and Move to your New PC (for iPod, iTouch &/or iPhone – use as needed)
    1) All Music Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
    2) All Application Files in their current folder structure (usually located in the ‘Mobile Applications’ folder)
    3) All Album Artwork Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘Album Artwork’ folder)
    4) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    5) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    6) The iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb files, also in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    Some additional files to consider also include in a backup:
    7) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
    8) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
    i) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    ii) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
    9) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
    “Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
    10) The folder(s) used to store and sync photos to your iPhone (if applicable)
    11) The iTunes created Backup of your iPhone usually located at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Here's a list of methods to copy and move your music files from one computer to another:
    1) Use an External Hard Drive (ExHD) to move the complete files and Folder structures from one computer to another (my preferred option). You can clone’ the entire ‘iTunes’ folder structure in one very easy step. Also great to have available for complete backups of your Library. External hard drives now run less than $100 for 500GBs-1TB of storage. See This Link
    2) Directly connect the two computers:
    2a) Connect them through a Router &/or Network
    2b) Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
    2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
    --Then copy the files from one computer to the other.
    3) Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains. It will be a bit easier if your iPod has a larger capacity than your music collection, otherwise you will need to perform multiple copy/move transfers. This well written process also works fine while using any other data transfer medium (ExHD, Flash Drive, DVD, CD, Zipp, Jazz, etc.).
    4) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7GBs each) with your music data files and folder structure, and load them onto the new computer. Re-writable DVDs are more cost effective (if your DVD drive can manage these types).
    5) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #4 above and load the files and folders on the new computer. Re-writable CDs are more cost effective (if your CD drive can manage these types).
    6) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB - 4GB) to move the files and folders. Best if the flash drive is larger than your Library, otherwise you will need multiple copy/move transfers.
    These are links to various additional instructions on performing the transfer (read them all, but some listed steps may not be required depending on your specific situation):
    Switch from PC to Mac Using the iPod
    hudgie: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    How to copy music between authorized computers
    Also, remember to Deauthorize your PC before you reformat it, dispose of it, or retire it from iTMS use (if applicable).
    Best of Luck

  • Load old version on new machine via CC... possible?

    So if anyone is unsure why I need to do this either read my older post (Re: Walking yesterday. Crawling today.) or just look at the top 100 current forum posts concerning the latest updates at any given moment.
    In a nutshell I am building a new super machine (so that Adobe can still copy paste their canned "It's your system" response to all of my future problem posts) and I have a large project (short film, hundreds of clips, tons of audio, lots of masks and CC) currently on an old machine using PPro 2014.0 single barrel. I would like to know if it is possible for me to transfer over the entire project/media files to the new machine and load it right into 2014.0 single barrel on the new machine so I can just get this project completed and delivered without nary a hiccup before daring to smoke test the... >GULP!<... latest PPro version on a far less involved/lucrative project.
    I feel like when the new machine is ready and I go to download PPro its going to force the latest version on me... is there a way to select a legacy version? Would loading the latest version and then rolling back (like I have done in my current situation) work if the new machine has never had the older version?
    Full disclosure I've never transferred projects to new software versions, let alone new machines, in my life... so any insight that spells things out as if I'm in 8th grade would be greatly appreciated.
    Excelsior!

    Well I really (read as REALLY) want to just finish this project so the plan was to go into a test mindset after it was in the can. So get over to the new computer, finish a few tweaks and render it off the new box. Then I am fully prepared to go into test mode.
    But in theory, sans the time it would take to try/fail/rollback, I suppose you are right. So maybe, but you have prolly gathered which way I am leaning -- Thanks shooternz
    >> "and thousands of editors are cutting away without issues."
    I'd question those numbers, or the ability to even project them, but regardless I am simply one of the lowly hundreds. I am far more confident and vindicated about my experience/feelings concerning this release than I was when I originally shared my story.

    IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
    I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7  iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
              Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • How do I transfer old masters from a vault to a new machine

    I have Aperture Masters on an old iMac, saved into a vault on an external hard disk . I bought a new iMac and want to bring the originals from my old machine onto the new machine.
    Presumably, I can download them from the vault to the new machine, but I'm not sure how.
    So far, I've managed to import versions onto the new machine but not masters. I'm terrified of doing the wrong thing and losing thousands of vital photos, so any help greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Tell us what it is you're doing to get the versions.
    Was the old library managed or referenced? If you used a referenced library, your masters were not backed up to the vault.
    If you used a managed library, restoring from a vault is straight forward. Just launch Aperture on the new iMac then choose
    File>>Vault>>Restore Library then tell Aperture where the vault is. You might want to create a new blank library before you start.

    Hello
    I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
    i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
    I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
    Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
    I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
    Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
    Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

    First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.
