Does "Transfer" copy or move/delete from old computer?

When setup assistant transfers from old computer, can I still use the old computer as before - will it still have the applications and operating system? Reading the manual nor the website archive (thanks Pondini) are clear.

It copies the data. The old computer can be used as before.

How do I transfer pix in Elements 7 from old computer to Elements 9 in new computer?

Old PC crashed but I can operate in safe mode and get to files. Elements 7 won't open, though. New laptop has Elements 9 preinstalled. How do I transfer photos to new laptop so Elements 9 recognizes them? Do I just copy photo files from old computer and paste them into same folder in new computer and then open Elements 9 and import them all or is something else required? Will I need to set up new albums or can I get old albums to transfer somehow.

Being able to retrieve media files is a good thing, but what would be still better is to find the catalog itself where the database and accessory catalog files are stored.
If you can do a search for a 'catalog.pse7db' file (probably hidden in explorer, you could be able to retrieve everything.
The process would be to copy the media files in the exact same folders as the original, and to copy the whole folder containing the catalog somewhere on the new computer. From PSE9 you could open the organizer and use the catalog manager to convert the old catalog : you'll have to navigate to the folder where you have copied the catalog.
Tell us if you need more details.
Edit:
Another way would be to install the old drive in an external USB housing : if the procedure stated above is not adequate, that could be worth a try.

How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

Dear all,
As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
Thanks a lot
Francis SZE

As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

Anyone else have their movies deleted from their computer?

Somewhere between now and last week, my computer had suddenly deleted movies I downloaded/transfered to my iTunes. Most of the movies were Digital Copies from purchased Blu-Rays. I searched my entire computer looking for each individual movie, but came with nothing. I tried checking to see if iTunes would let me redownload movies, but movies is the only thing that doesn't seem to be redownloaded. I'm worried; because 26 of my movies have suddenly disappeared from my computer and there's nothing I can do to bring them back. I purchased my MacBook Pro around May and the movies worked just fine ever since. Is there anything anyone can do to help me bring these missing movies back??

Get them from the backup copy on your backup drive.

Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7.
I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6. I can't transfer the movie rental there either.
(I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV. Both PC's are suthorized.
Help!

Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:

Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
What version of iPhoto does she have?
The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

ITunes deleted from old computer - need to sync mini with new one

My old Windows computer is where is used to sync my iPod Mini with all my saved music but itunes was deleted there. Now I want to sync with a different Windows computer with iTunes on it that has some songs that are not on my ipod. Is there a way to do this without losing all the content on my mini and not using the old computer, since nothing is there anymore? I want to be able to also "clean up" my mini by putting some music from it on the new computer and deleting some things that I don't want on it anymore.
All help is greatly appreciated!

If your iPod is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library when you connect and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in the Summary tab:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Trying to move bookmarks from old computer HD to new computer HD. Can't find 'em.

Upgrading to Windows 7 on new computer system from my old, worn-out XP. Trying to locate bookmarks on the old hard drive. No dice. Have done the %APP...search of the old drive. Nothing. Found a "bookmarks" html file from 2006. I know I've backed up since then, but even if I hadn't where in the world is Mozilla hiding the everyday bookmarks? Would love to take all that organizational work to the new computer rather than having to recreate the wheel. Please help.

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

You can't use %AppData% on a slave drive, you need to browse directly to (hidden) folders

Cannot move library from old computer to new

Hello,
I successfully got the new computer authorized and moved the purchased music into the library.
Using the help instructions i pasted the old library files into the new computer library (with the exception of the purchased files).
Only the purchased files show in the new library. All of the files appear in explorer, however, so I know they are there.
What's up please?
thanks
Scott

Drag the remaining files into the open iTunes window; the iTunes database needs to contain an entry for them before they will show up.

How to transfer word from old computer to new computer

how can I transfer/load microsoft word program from old computer to macbook

Was your old computer a Mac? If not, I believe Microsoft Word for Mac is a separate product than Microsoft Word for Windows, requiring a separate purchase.
If your old computer was a Mac, then you can use Migration Assistant (in your Applications > Utilities folder) to move it.

Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.
