Error 5506 on new iMac

Hi everyone!
I just got my first iMac and I'm excited to finally make the switch from Windows to Apple.
I wanted to start Home Sharing on iTunes, but I keep receiving error messages.
First, it said, that my password and/or Apple ID were invalid, so I changed it and typed it in a couple of times, so I'm certain that I have the right password and Apple ID.
I also authorized and deauthorized both, the iMac and my old laptop with all the music on it. Now when I try to activate home sharing on the iMac I keep receiving the message saying "Home sharing could not be activated because an error occured (error 5506)". When I try to start it on my laptop, it says that the password and/or Apple ID are invalid, but I also deauthorized and re-authorized iTunes on my laptop. Does anyone know what I have to do to finally start Home Sharing?
I just want to listen to my music on the iMac!
Thanks so much!!

  • Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

    When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
    I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
    (24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

    I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
    I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
    Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

  • Hi. I setup an external hard drive on my AirPort Extreme to act as a central disk for multiple iPhoto libraries. I have a new iMac with iPhoto '11 and an MBPro with iPhoto '09. I'm getting an error message saying different versions. Ideas?

    Long title. Sorry. It pretty much explains the situation. I'd like to have all of my photos from two (ultimately three) computers on this central file and be able to access them from any of the computers. The error message I get when I start up my MBPro is: "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto" and, "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." It then forces me to quit iPhoto. I have tried the suggestion of holding down the opt key on iPhoto startup, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Two questions:
    Can I store multiple iPhoto libraries on the same central disc?
    If so, how should I address the error message?
    Thank you!

    Hey Kappy, thank you for your help! Yes, I can open both libraries on the iMac without problem. I am still confused why the computer that created one of the libraries cannot open said library after it was moved to the external disk. Why is the iPhoto format not readable by all versions across the board?? The reason I'm pushing the issue is because in my household, we have an older MB, my wife's MBP, my MBP and now a new "family" iMac. The MB (circa 2007) has an old version of iPhoto, the two MBP's have iPhoto '08 and the new iMac has '11. It is my goal to have all of the photos that we've accrued over the years, located centrally, and accessible from all of these computers. Is iPhoto the most appropriate program, or would Lightroom make more sense?

  • Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

    I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

  • Error: 150:30 on new iMac with Lion

    Hello,
    My InDesign CS4 does not start after I bought a new iMac (August 2011) with Lion (with the latest updates of Apple):
    'Licensing for this product has stopped working (...)
    Error: 150:30'
    Restarting the computer, as suggested in the message, doesn't work.
    Can anyone tell me what to do to solve this problem?
    Thank you!
    Edzard Krol

    Thanks for the reply. I did try all other suggestions. According to many posts, these steps worked for many people, just not me. Perhap the following will be useful for someone in my predicament:
    - I didn't have FLEXnet Publisher in Prefs (it didn't migrate with everything else to my new iMac).
    - Someone actually said they had success when they added FLEXnet Publisher back to their prefs, but that didn't work for me, either.
    - I changed permissions on the files they suggested, didn't work.
    - I repaired permissions with Disk Utility, didn't work.
    - And finally, could not open License Recovery (error said PPC no longer supported, as I mentioned).
    BUT: this did finally work (which I found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3857489):
    Utilities/Terminal, paste: sudo python '/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/'LicenseRecover.py
    I did all the steps on the screen until it was complete, then I was able to open PS, which prompted me for my serial number. Worked. There might hve been an easier way that I missed, but I'm just glad it's fixed. Do you really think CS 4 is that old? It's only one version ago, no?
    Thanks again,
    Lisa

  • Error when installing jam pack/audio content on new imac

    Keep trying to install the audio/jam pack cd´s that came with my Logic Studio bundle on my new Imac/Leopard. When i´m almost done installing, it asks for the "logic" cd and then after a while i´m getting an error "installation failed"- disk corrupted" or something? I cannot as it works now find (almost) any of the audio files that i´m using (brass/horn sounds etc..). Anyone who´s had the same experience?
    Thanks!

    Also seeing this problem. I'm updating to latest logic and 10.5.3 right now to see if it mitigates it.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • Error Code 6 on trying to install a previously bought CS4 from an older Macbook Pro to a new iMac.

    Iam trying to install my Photoshop CS4 onto my new iMac that I used on an older Macbook Pro that no longer works but when I try to install it I get an error code 6. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Murray,
    These illustrate what I'm experiencing.
    Image #1 - Shows the template file open and the place it is and always has been saved.
    When this template is saved DW does not offer to update the site pages that use this template as expected.
    So I attempt to update the pages via Modify:Templates:Update Pages and this is where I encounter the 'error -43' message.
    You asked for a file. Please be more specific as to what file or files. Presume you'd want the source code in a text file, correct?
    I appreciate you time and interest.

  • New iMac and Final Cut Pro Error

    Just got a new 20" iMac. It comes with a ATI Radeon XT graphics card. I used Migration to transfer all apps and files from my old 17" iMac G4. When I launch Final Cut on the new iMac I get the following configuration error message:
    This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. AGP graphics card.
    Re-installing Final Cut from disc gives the same message.
    Anyone have any suggestions? If this iMac doesn't work with Final Cut I will be taking it back immediately.
    Thanks

    For anyone else that is having problems with FCP 4/4.5 then check this out
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
    I posted my problem over in the FCP discussions and someone gave me this link which works perfectly.
    Instead of deleting the strings that are listed, there is one for an AGP graphics cards:
    <key>AELRequiredIOPCIDevice</key>
    <string>AGP</string>
    just delete those two lines and save the file and you're set. You'll have to do this for both FCP and Compressor, I"m not sure about Cinema Tools b/c I don't have it loaded on my mac so you may want to check that out.

  • Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
    If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • HT4796 After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?

    After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

  • Why  will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
    The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.
