Getting a new computer - do I have to buy another copy of FCE?

I am about to buy FCE for installation on an iMac G4. However, in about six months I'm going to buy a MacBook Pro. Does the following excerpt from the FCE license agreement cover the switch?
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This includes the right to transfer your copy of the Apple Software licensed hereunder from an Apple G4 hardware platform to an Apple G5 platform.
I understand the "single computer at a time" part and I will obviously uninstall the original version when I reinstall on the MacBook. Just want to double check with some of you who know for sure before I go through with everything.

Also, you cannot use the software on both computers simultaneously.
You said:
The effect on Global Warming was becoming horrific
with all those people dutifully deleting and
reinstalling FCE on a daily basis before leaving
home, and then doing the same on their return.
How can the (albeit mighty) Fruit-in-the-Sky know that someone is using FCE on two computers, even at the same time? Joke, right? (I hope so!)

If i buy iwork but then get a new computer will i need to buy it again

i am looking into buying iwork however my macbook is three years old now and i will probably get a new one before the end of the year. would i need to buy iwork again to install it on my new computer?

If you have bought iWork on a DVD you can install from the DVD and do the updates wthout additional charge.
If you have bought iWork through Mac AppStore you can install from Mac AppStore again without additional charg if you use the same Apple ID as when you bought it.
If you have the downloaded iwork from Apple Store and a serial number you have to have the iWork.dmg on a stick and also have the serial number handy when installing on the new computer. Otherwise you have to buy the applications again from the AppStore. N.B. Apple store and appStore isn't the same store.

Do I have to buy another copy of PhotoShop?

My 14 year old daughter received a Wacom tablet for Christmas. We did not know she would need access to PhotoShop. I have a copy on my laptop for my personal use as a very amateur photographer. Do I have to buy a whole other copy of PhotoShop for her computer?

So my license for PhotoShop will allow me to have it on two personal computers, as long as they are both on the same account with Adobe?
Yes. Technically, your TOS states that only one copy can be used at a time -- home/office or desktop/laptop for example.
If you need to purchase a copy specifically for your daughter, Cozmicone's suggestion is a good option. Another option would be to join the Creative Cloud's Photography Plan for $10/mo which includes PS CC Extended and Lightroom.

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default. To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end? A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different.

My old computer died, and all of my itunes music is now on a USB. I have a new computer, but I have not yet downloaded the new itunes to it. How do I go about getting all of my music from the USB onto the new itunes without losing it all?

I need help getting my music from my USB to itunes onto my new computer. I have not yet downloaded itunes to my new computer, because I wanted to know how to do things first.

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account. But only some of them have the cloud next to them. The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download.

I have upgraded to a new computer. I have installed iTunes from the internet and copied my music from the old hard drive to my new one. What do I need to do to get my new computer to recognize my old playlist?

I have to use an application for work that isn't supported in Mt. Lion and my 2008 Macbook doesn't have enough ram for Lion. Should I update ram or get a new computer?

So, it would be a stretch to buy a new computer, but I could if I needed to. The fan on this computer gets a little loud and the computer will sometimes get hot, but it works fine. I don't want to invest in a computer that doesn't have long to live, but I also don't want to buy a new computer when I have a perfectly good one... Suggestions?
The application is Sookasa.

A loud fan could indicate a hardware issue which could only get worse when tampering with the RAM.
Backup your data.
What is the application, and version of application? Perhaps we can find something that works with your operating system? Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your existing operating system.

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l. I think this is the link. However, you will need to use the new S/N if you need to do the activation. The Activation server for AA 7 was taken down. I am not sure this link is complete, but it might give you some idea. However, on WIn7 and newer, AA7 has problems and will only work with some workarounds, and then kind of clunky.
