Getting a new G5 - need help with software from old G5

I am about to purchase a new G5 for my home... However I would like to have all of the exact same software and programs that are currently installed on my work computer that is being retired. With out having all of my original software disks, Is it possible to simply transfer all software from old computer to new computer? Or do I have to reinstall everything from original install disks?
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

A new machine? Lucky!
You could swap the drive.
Apple does include the Migration Assistant with all of their machines. You simply hook up the two machines via a firewire cable, boot the old machine into Target Disk Mode while holding down the T key, and the Assistant does the rest.
In fact, when you turn the computer on for the first time it should ask if there is anything to transfer and then walk you through the steps.

New user needs help with full windows reinstall/itunes

so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......
...i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....
lots of questons i know, but pretty desprate to get on with my reisntall...

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.

New Mini, need help with migration assistant

Hi,
Just got new (used) Mini and want to run Migration Assistant to transfer files from my old Mini. I have read through as many documents I can find describing Migration Assistant and Firewire Target Disc mode, but I am confused about a basic concept I guess. Do I need both Mini's hooked up to their own displays and keyboards for this to work? I ask because I have only one display and one keyboard/mouse. If I need just one display and keyboard, which Mini gets hooked up to the display and keyboard, the old Mini (source 10.5.8) or the new Mini (target 10.7.4). Sorry if this is a basic or obvious concept.,,, however here I sit dumbfounded.
Thanks in advance for any help, direction, walk through...
Rick

TRy booting the old one in Target mode...

This one will make the old one appear as a Firewire drive to the new one.
Sometimes you may need a Monitor or an adapter at least plugged into the old one.

Your friend is right. the iPod cannot be used to update iTunes. I had the same problem about a year ago, and I just transferred each song using my jumpdrive. It's painstakingly boring, but it will work without wiping anything clean.

Need help tranferring license from old to new computer.

What is the procedure for transferring an Acrobat X Pro license previously downloaded from the Adobe LWS from one computer to another without having to purchase a new license?
Appreciate any assistance.

Hi Mikhail Y.,
To transfer license of Acrobat X from your first computer to second computer you just need to uninstall Acrobat X from your first computer and install it on the second computer with the serial number.
With all other software there is need to deactivate the software from the help menu of the software but with Acrobat X uninstallation will deactivate the software from the machine and you can easily activate the same on second computer.

Need help with sum from previous years

Hi All,
In a report i have 4 fields. The first field shows the YTD invoice totals for the current FY 2010 (which i accomplished). The other 3 fields are :
2nd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 1YEAR prior to the current year
3rd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 2YEAR's prior to the current year.
4th field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 3YEAR's prior to the current year.
How can i get the desired results for the second,third and the fourth fields, please need help or advice.
Thanks

Hi
If you have the values for several years in the same report you should be able to do what you want using the analytic LEAD and LAG.
LAG will retrieve values from previous rows whereas LEAD will retrieve values from following rows.
The basic syntax is the same and look like this:
LAG(value, offset) OVER ({optional_partition_clause} ORDER BY mandatory_order_clause)
The ORDER BY clause is mandatory and cannot be omitted. However, this ORDER BY has nothing to do with the sort order you manually create in the worksheet. Generally, most people will set their sort order the same as the ORDER BY in the calculation.
Here's an example that gets year to date from 2 financial years ago:
LAG(YTD,2) OVER (ORDER BY FY)
You have to understand that Discoverer will pull values from previous rows not from previous cells as displayed on the report, although if the cells may happen to be rows too then it will appear as though it is pulling previous cells. I personally am very experienced with analytuc functions and can make manipulate data within Discoverer just about any way that I want. Generally, if I can see data on the screen even when they are in different cells or rows I can create functions to manipulate it. This capability only comes about as a result of experience and I would strongly advise you to practice with the analytics and see if you can at least master some of them. You'll find your Discoverer capabilities will improve dramatically and you will become a great asset at work.
When working with a new report I generally duplicate the report as a table so that I can see the values. Then if I need to sort the items in order to line up the values I want to work with I do so. Having worked out what sort order I need I can then see what offset I use then I create the analytic and use it in the main worksheet.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Need help with restoring from backup.

My wife's macbook pro ( 2.53 processor 4 GB Ram) recently had its hard drive call it quits.
I ran a back up the day prior to taking it to the Apple store, they replaced it with a 500 GB hard drive for very cheap. That I am very grateful for.
I came home, wife has already logged on/set up the laptop as a new laptop. Apple upgraded the OS while it was in their possession to 10.9.2. The last back up was on Mountain lion 10.8.
How can I get all the files (iPhoto being hugely important) from the 10.8 backup onto this 10.9 laptop? I can't restore from Time Machine because it isn't the correct OS nor is the same laptop (in its mind due to new hard drive and her setting up as a new laptop.)
I greatly appreciate the help in advanced, any links or "How to" threads would be wonderful!!!

Look at the options presented here:

New User: Needs Help with getting started with the Z

Hi, my son got a creative Zen for xmas, only getting round to getting it together now, and having some problems with the manual. All this is new to us -technology etc. We have managed to rip a CD but cant get any further! Downloading from internet sounds like such a good idea, but 'know-how-to do' seems light years away in this house! Is there an easy start manual or step by step directions that I've missed out on somewhere? the quick start manual is fine for learning how to use the player but doesn't give any info on ripping CDs and whatever comes after. Can any of you 'experts' bring yourselves back to the begining and explain what to do in simple english?

Mother,
I moved and edited your message as your are more likely to get help out here. As far as suggestions go for downloading from the internet goes, there is not a lot of difference between getting it from CDs. The main difference is the process of actually getting the music.
First off there are several music stores out there and some that are free. Here are a few suggestions (this is all personal knowledge, this is not an official endorsement of any of these):
Napster - Integrates into Windows Media Player if you desire and can transfer directly to most Zens. Also allows a user to subscribe to an account that allows for streaming and computer only downloads of music (must purchase song to transfer to the player...usually around .99 a song)
Buymusic.com - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
Wallmart music store - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
There are others but these three are the mains ones (outside of itunes, which is designed for the Ipod).
Basically once you download them, you go into MediaSource or Windows Media Player and add the files to the music library. Then you just transfer like you do with CDs.

New user needs help with HD choices

I just found this forum and it looks like something I am going to enjoy. I have Premiere Pro CS 5.0 and use it to process AVCHD video. My hardware is made up of Asus P9X79 Pro, i7 3930k, 16 GB memory, and GTX 470 vid card. I also have an SSD as my main boot drive - it is an OCZ Revodrive.
I would like help in setting up my hard drives for the Adobe software, so have listed my storage drives along with current usage and ATTO benchmark results:
Drive 0 - Revodrive - ATTO = 800 - Used for Win 7 -64 Pro and Adobe software
Drive 1 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for MTS file storage
Drive 2 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for Scratch Files
Drive 3 - Samsung 1TB - ATTO = 60 - Used for Finished files (Encore files and for saving MP4 files for web upload)
Drive 4 - WD Black 1TB - ATTO = 120 - Used for backup
Drive 5&6 - 2 each Hitachi 750GB in Raid - ATTO = 180 - Used for backup (Drives are attached to Marvel Raid port on Motherboard)
I realize that drive #3 is the slowest drive and should probably be used for other things. I am open to suggestions.

Happy New Year and wecome to the forum!
Sounds like a strong system, and it should be just fine for AVCHD video.
Suggest:
Boot / OS / programs - Revodrive is fine; you can also assign media cache and media cache DB (CS5 setting) to this drive
Data drive - create a RAID 0 array from your current drives 1 and 2 - use this for projects and media, and pretty much whatever other data needs you have for your PC
scratch / output drive - use for current matching 5 & 6 Hitachi's in RAID 0 for scratc and render outputs
all others - use 3 & 4 for backups
You should probably run PPBM5 and report the 4 "scores" to the PPBM5 site and also back here to get a reality check that everything is configured and working properly for your system.
