  • I just bought a new mac and want to transfer my old files. I haven't had any luck with migration. any ideas?

    I have not been able to recover any of my files, primarily my music. I tried using migration and I still havent been able to find it. I used an external hard drive to back up using TimeMachine. any ideas would be great

    There are a lot of unknowns here.
    Is the old computer a Mac?
    Did you manage your music through iTunes?
    If the old machine was a Mac and you use iTunes you should be able to look on the old external drive for a folder called Music. Inside is a folder called iTunes. Copy that folder to the same location on the new computer and your music should be restored. You may have to reauthorize the machine for the music to show up.
    You may also just have to open iTunes on the new machine and drag that old iTunes folder onto the music list in the new iTunes and the files may start importing.
    A good place to start is http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • I bought a new MAC and want my Adobe programs on that computer...I already used Migration Assistant

    I am leasing Photoshop and Illustrator. How do I get them to run on my new computer? I now have a Macbook and a desktop.
    I have already Migrated everything from my Mac book, the applications are showing up on my new computer, it suggested running Adobe Application Manager, and the install Creative Cloud. Now whats next???

    Mac migration (or Time Machine) do not work with Cloud program activations due to hidden files
    Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall
    -using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling may help

  • I bought a new computer, and want to sync my iphone with it.

    My iphone is currently synced with another computer. Can someone please give me step by step instructions, so I can make sure I do it all correctly, w/out erasing everything on my iphone? Thank you!

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Sync.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

    Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

  • I just bought a new Mac and migrated my CS6 over.  Now when I open it, I'm told I'm running a trial version of Cloud.  Why can't I use my CS6 version that I purchased?  I don't want to pay for something I've already bought.

  • Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

  • I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac.  Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents.  I have not even turned on my new Mac yet.  Is the best way by an external hard drive?

    If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

  • I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

    iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
    Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • I just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why?

    i just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why? also i can not seem to download pages from the app store, any idea's on why, please help!!

    You need to describe more clearly what you are trying to do and how it is failing.
    Was your mac new, or just new to you? What OS did it come with? Lion? Snow Leopard?
    Have you already bought Mountain Lion? If so, are you using the same Apple ID that you used for your purchase?
    What are you seeing in the App Store? Come to think of it, are in the MAC App Store? (not to be confused with the iTunes App Store!).
    If you give answers to these questions we may be able to help!
