You'll need to authorize the new Mac to play any protected iTunes songs in your library. Once the transfer over is complete, if you're not keeping the old Mac, don't forget to deauthorize it from iTunes.

Transferring program to a new computer via CD
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements9 on my laptop...I have only used it on my laptop ( it might have been installed on an older laptop too) I want to transfer this to
my new laptop but it says the serial number is not valid and it may say I have used the discs twice.. I do not want to buy a new program
How can I transfer this to my new computer? I have not used this as much as Adobe Photoshop (earlier version) which is also on my computer.
I seem to revert back to that. I do use computers a lot but this transferring files etc is frustrating! Someone told me I need to deactivate
the program on my old computer but I am unsure about that as I want to have at least one working program as I am scanning family photosif you need to reset your activation count, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html

Hi I am just now downloading Creative Clouds :-) as an upgrade from an old Creative Suite 5.5. Before that I hade a Creative suite 3 etc. Is it necessary that I keep all these old programs etc on my computer to make Creative Clouds work or is it better that I uninstall them? Kind regards, AnnaReet
It is not necessary to retain the older installations. YOu might want to consider if you will have any need for them in terms of working with older files, but other than that you can probably uninstall them without missing them.

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program? Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone. I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.
I have the same problem on my iMac. Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk. I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it. I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago! I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences. Very frustrating.

How do you compare the noise emacs and imacs make?
The only thing I don't want for my eMac is the noisy fan. And maybe I'll switch for an iMac.
Thank youeMacs are noise pollution city.
I registered the constant noise from a old eMac 800 mhz at being 73db.
It drives you batty.
The iMac's are virtually silent, only making a slight kechunk sound when eatting and spitting cd's. You'll love it. They are quieter than most PowerMac G5's.
Problem right now is the new iMac's are intel processor based core duals, they are fast, but not a whole lot of software is ready for them natively yet, but will run at reduced performance using PPC based software under emulation (rosetta). Some games might not work either.
If you depend on Photoshop performance, Adobe might not have a native Intel version ready for another 14 months.
Coming from a eMac, the iMactel with Core Duo proccessors will seem very fast to you.

Installed Firefox 4.0, it crashed during it first open when it says things like transferring settings etc. now won't open. Have tried rebooting/uninstalling etc.
See [[Secure Connection Failed]]
Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase?
Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase like music and video editing software can?
If so, where is the price chart? I need to know these things as I am concidering purchasing Photoshop.
Thank you.I did look at the plug-in page quickly. I noticed the free ones and the pay ones.
From using producing programs, some photo editing and some video editing programs: I'd rather use what is there and what is inside first. Then look at the extras. I am realizing how deep this can get. But if I bought PS or CS 5 or whatever: I would want to learn.
I know that some plug-ins, extras, etc are their own and are highly useful. I do understand that it can take longer but in some programs you can do what a plug-in can do though it may require more steps. I'd rather learn the program and then get the short-cuts. But again some are stand alone and highly uselful - these are what I am looking for and want to know about.
I didn't know there were so many books though, this is new information. I believe that I was told a while ago about a couple or that one comes out with a new release. I like to read and know the who, what, when, where, why and how: but most of my time should be in the program. Eg: I read my photo editing programs manuals. That was important and helped me. I need to know terms, language, some short-cuts/how-to, etc. But getting in there is way more important.
Any more information is great. Please keep it comming. I am not getting the program in the immediate future, it's the pricing issue right now and that it's way more important for me to use what I have as I am still learning big time. Plus I have to get on my camera a lot more and draw a bit more.
Thank you. -
Who knows is it possible do install exe files on mac? is there any convertor program, etc ???
What you've been told is roughly right, except that, even if you had the source code, it would not necessarily be possible to compile it under Mac OS X.
There is, however, a rare special case. That is when the .exe application is actually a self-expanding Zip archive; ie, a compressed archive to which the code necessary to expand it has been added. The code itself would not run under Mac OS X, of course, but you could extract the content of the archive by using an application such as Zipeg, or after changing the filename extension to .zip. -
That option or program I recommend to delete files, programs, etc. completely from my mac
You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine. To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu. Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine. Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

Syncing using my iPhone/iMac (cal, contacts, etc.)?
Syncing using my iPhone/iMac (cal, contacts, etc.) iMac to iPhone. How do I get syncing both ways? It used to work. I've tried syncing from the computer, and from iCloud. I've resorted to duplicating updated information everytime I have a new date or contact.
Hey blind guy!
I see that you are having issues with syncing your information to your computer through iCloud and iTunes. One step you may want to try is turning off the syncing of your information when syncing with iTunes and just syncing your information with iCloud. If that does not achieve the desired results, then I have found an article that should help you troubleshoot the issue. It can be found here:
Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

My child wants her own Apple ID for her phone and mac book. Not sure of steps to disable and create new account while transferring photos etc. thoughts ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes. -
Successfully installed Firefox on my new laptop, transferred folders etc. I cannot find a British English dictionary to download to version 31.1., running on Windows 8. help, plese.
''Naeem [[#answer-669741|said]]''
<blockquote>
First of all, you're using Firefox 34.0.5 as your details say.
This addon called "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-/?src=search British English Dictionary]" is the most used addon currently.
Reply if this doesn't help.
</blockquote>
Naeem, Thank you, point taken about the version number - I simply saw the download page state that each of the dictionaries I tried said "Not available for 31.1.0". What actually happens is that any of the dictionaries I download are not recognised by Thunderbird. The spell-check pane appears, but does not highlight any misspelt word nor give any suggested replacement. I have found a dictionary downloaded to "My documents/ Downloads" but when I double click it the system cannot open an "xpi" file. Is this because I do not have Windows XP but Windows8. I also checked the download site for "Other versions" which all say not suitable for my system
? I fearI am confused! PS the spell checking has just worked on this message! -
Trouble transferring files etc from old iMac to G4.
My friend has an old CRT iMac, not sure of the precise model but it's one the fruit coloured ones running OS 10.1. She's upgrading to my old flat panel G4 iMac running 10.4.11 but we've had trouble transferring her files, settings etc. First we tried using an ethernet cable but migration assistant on the G4 told us we needed to use firewire. She's bought a firewire cable, plugged it in & opened migration asst on the G4 but is getting no response at all. Could anyone advise us on what she should be doing please?
Thanks,
Janet.By no response I mean no error message, no recognition at all by either iMac.
That sounds like a problem with getting FireWire Target Disk Mode going on the iMac G3. Be sure to review the article I linked to previously, and make sure the iMac can startup in the mode where you see the FireWire logo bouncing around the screen.
Note: If that iMac is one of the early slot-loader iMac G3 models, it needs to have +Firmware version 2.4 or later+ for FireWire Target Disk Mode to work (as noted in the article). So the Mac OS X version (even though it is old) will not prevent FireWire Target Disk Mode from working, but the firmware version may. If you can run System Profiler on that iMac G3, it should say what firmware version it has now (it may be called +Boot ROM+ ). -
Earlier today Firefox crashed. Later a window came up, with the rest of the screen grayed-out, saying there is suspicious programs on my 'pc' (wrong because I have an iMac) and it will run a scan to see if there are any suspicious programs. I immediately quit Firefox, with an additional window popping up asking if I really wanted to quit the page, that data may be lost. I quit. I tried restarting my computer, but in opening Firefox, it did the same thing. I then tried to delete FF by dragging it from my appl. folder to trash and reinstalling using Safari. Did this several times with the same result...still get the popup window saying the same thing each time.

I am looking to migrate all my files, photos, Word & Excel files over to my new IMac from a older 10.5.8 OS X IMac. The Migration Assistant does not work.
Can I also get my MS Office programs to move over? I am NOT tech savvy in the least. Is this something I can tackle myself?
ThanksDiscover if you were using a PowerPC Mac.
Is my iMac an iMac PPC or Intel?
If you were, you'll need this tip for migrating:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
If not, you just need to find Intel native counterparts to your old PowerPC software:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 and just save the documents while they are on 10.5 to a more portable format for 10.7 and later.
