Help! how to move the libary to a new computer

I would like to move the whole library from an old computer to a new one. Is there some way to move it so that the library on the new computer can be just the same as the old one, including my song ratings and everything?
(I have an external hardisk to hold the whole library, if it is any help.)

I used 'export library' and moved libary.xml along with all the song files to the new computer.
On the new computer, I imported library.xml. The songs appeared in the library. But itune can't actually locate the songs, there are explamations marks whenever I click on the songs.
I have also tried `add folder to library' to add the songs to the library. But the added songs no longer have my ratings.

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer. I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting. Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc. That's not the issue. It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
Thanks.

Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

help, how to do ipod/itunes on a new computer? my ipod says "connected"

http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I am trying to move all itunes files to my new laptop and was able to do with home sharing, however I now have no idea how to keep the itunes on my new computer when I dispose of the old as all files are inaccessible when the old computer is disconnected

is there anyway to save the files so that they stay in my new computer?

I wouldn't use Home Sharing for this. These are two possible approaches that should work.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

How to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

how to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

1. Be sure you have your serial number.
2. If you have only used one of two installs, install and activate on your new computer (as a precaution), then proceed to step 3. If your second install is currently used, proceed to step 3 without installing.
3. Deactivate on you old computer and uninstall. To deactivate, open Photoshop and go to Help>Deactivate.
You may use Photoshop on two computers at any one time. By deactivating, you may change to different computer(s).
You can find the installer here: Download CS6 products

How to move Dreamweaver 8 to my new computer, I lost the box?

Hi,
I want to move Dreamweaver 8 from my old and beat up PC to my new laptop, but I don't have the box or serial number or anything anymore, only that I have the program installed here on this computer. (I want to move Flash 8 too, same problem. I installed them years ago)
I tried to just copy the files of 'Macromedia' from my Program Files to my new laptop but when I tried the .exe for Dreamweaver it didn't work.
Help is appreciated!

it gave me the serial for Photoshop, it did not for DW8 or Flash 8.
Look again, DW 8 might be listed under the name Macromedia, rather than Adobe.
You can't just copy the files of an installed program, because there are a bunch
of Windows Registry entries required for it to function.
You could explore some kind of "ghost" imaging software to copy and move
the program, but it's tricky.
In case you forgot, there were a couple updates to DW8

How to move PSE 8 to my new computer?

So i just got a new computer and would like to move my old PSE 8 from my laptop over here so i could continue using it as i have previously. (I have never moved it to another device from that old laptop as the program came already installed to it when i bought it.)
However i've encountered problems as how to do this correctly, i tried finding download links for the PSE 8 with no succes.
After that i tried moving the entire folder where PSE 8 was located on my old computer but when i try to start the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe after entering the country/region i get this message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
This product has has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 6

I tried restarting with no succes. After that i went and downloaded the Adobe License Recover program and completed all the steps and still got no results.

That's too bad, because you've made a bit more work for yourself by doing that. Now you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and then go around and manually remove all the bits you can find. Then you can download PSE 8 here and install it from scratch:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7

How to move Adobe software subscription to new computer

I need to move my Adobe Acrobat XI subscription to my new computer. How do I do that?

Install your subscription on the new machine just like you did originally for the other machine. If you want to have the original installation remain available as a backup you can since you are allowed to have two working installations. If you wish to disable the original the minimum you need to do is to sign out of it thru the Cloud manager application.

How to move to Photoshop Elements and new computer

Hi, I've been using Photoshop Elements for several years, but am new to the forum. I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and moved all my files, including photos, using a Windows 7 migration cable. I was using Photoshop Elements 6 on my old Windows XP computer and want to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 8 on the new computer. How do I get my catalog into PE8? Based on what I'm seeing in the posts on this forum, I'm thinking that I've gone about this the wrong way. It looks like maybe I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8. Does this make sense, or can someone suggest a better way to do this? Thanks for your help.

I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8.
That is definitely the most reliable method. You're changing three things at once: new computer, new version of Windows, new version of PSE. The catalog conversion process (upgrading to a new version of PSE) and backup/restore are both fairly buggy, so it's wise to do one step at a time to make troubleshooting and workarounds much easier. It's also better to use the most recent (less buggy) PSE 8 to make the backup, rather than PSE 6.
People are tempted to take a shortcut on this and try to use PSE 8 on the new computer from a PSE 6 backup. That will often work, but when it doesn't, they then waste a lot more time trying to make it work. As the Car Talk Guys used to say, "It's the cheapskate who pays the most."
See this FAQ for tips on converting from PSE 6 to 8:

You will need to use a program such as Senuti or Yamipod to move the music.

How to import the catalogue onto a new computer in Elements 9?

I have a new computer and was using ELements 9 on the old one. I have downloaded the programme and aslo copied the catalogue over from the old computer. How do i import the catalogue? When I click on Import, it doesnt mention catalogue, only Frame for Video and Wia support.
Margaret

Thank you very much. The only problem with this is that there is no option to “restore catalogue” in the drop down File menu in my newly downloaded PSE 9. There is no mention of the word “catalogue”. There is an Import option but this is only for “Frame for Video” or “WIA Support”
With best wishes
