How can I clone my powerbook mac to an mac mini and keep adobe serials

All I want is a back up of my macbook pro to use on a daily basis.
The adobe products are from a previous empoyer who went bust and I just want to copy them across - O have tried time machine but this give licensing problems with adobe and I can't get the serials.
Any adice appreciated?
Thanks

the safest way would be to
use e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your MBP's startup disk to an external HD
use Setup Assistant to migrate everything from the clone to the Mini - even if it means to wipe the Mini's HD and reinstall Mac OS in order to be able to use SA.
i would not recommend to use Migration Assistant.

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing?
I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production. It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini. Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air.
My two problems:
1. I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing. What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
2. The less lag the better for screen sharing. Which apps are fastest?
Thanks in advance.

Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo

To switch between your Mac mini and iMac, you just have to turn on or off Target Display mode. To do it, press Command and F2 keys in your iMac, not only F2

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?

I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
I have cs5 installed and activated on PC A and PC B.
If I buy CS6, can I use that on my MAC C and MAC D while still being able to use the cs5 on my PC A and PC B, since mac and pc are two different platforms?
Thank You!

No. That would be against the letters and the legal spirit of the EULA and that aside it's not possible for technical reasons. Either you make a platform swap, in which case you will lose your PC licenses of course, or you buy a second CS6 license for your Mac(s) and keep your CS5 on the PCs.

How can i share folders at Mac mini late 2009 with Apple Tv 3?

I'm using Mac mini 2009 and I can't share any folder with Apple tv 3...anyone managed to get a way to do so, so far?

I have a WLAN at home conneting Mac mini (late 2009), PS3 slim and xbox 360 in the living room and I would love to share whats on the Mac mini with AT3 in the guest room upstairs, physically it wont be possible to control both screens at the same times. The files I have are on external HD connected via firewire + USB to Mac mini and they are a mix of avi, mp4, mpeg etc. I'm talking about 3 TB of movies and series (its still legal here in Dubai to download ;-)). starting to convert such amount of files its not an option. AirParrot is a good option when I have media stored on my MacBook pro and would like to play it no AT3 but I used Beamer it works great for such function.
any ideas folks ?

How do I sync files on Mac mini and MacBook pro

I want to sync files between my Mac Mini and my MacBook Pro. Is there a way to do this? Primarily, I want to access photos in my LightRoom Catalog from both platforms. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Note that there's a difference between sharing and syncing.
Sharing will allow you to access the files on your Mini from your MBP, but the files won't be on your MBP when you take it somewhere else.
Syncing is making both Macs have identical copies of files, so that a change on one Mac makes a change on the other Mac.
If you've got a large LightRoom catalogue and limited space on your MBP, then you want sharing. The link above should get you started with that.
For syncing, I recommend BitTorrent Sync, which is free. It's basically "DropBox without the cloud". You select a folder to sync, and then whenever your two Macs are on the same network, any file in that folder that changes is synced to the other Mac.
I use it to keep my entire Documents folder synced between my Mini and MBP.
http://www.bittorrent.com/sync
You may need to be careful about modifying the same document on both computers at the same time, though I believe BS does handle this in some way. Also, if you're syncing an app's data library, then some database files (e.g. with computer-specific data like file path names) may not sync well.
Of course, you could use DropBox, though you'll need to subscribe if you want more than a couple of GB.

How can I tell if my Mac Mini has what it takes to support Windows XP OS?

I need some help understanding how the whole Windows OS thing works with my Mac mini. I'm totally clueless about it.
The first thing I would like to know is if my Mac has enough memory & power to accommodate the additional Windows OS without compromising its performance?
Here's a list of what I have to work with. I have no idea about what any of this means but I'm hoping someone can use the info to assess my needs.
Model Name: Mac mini
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
Memory: 1.25 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
When I bought my Mac mini I was told that its ROM size was 80GB. I partitioned the HD into 2 HDs when I select them individually & choose get info, one partition says MacHD1 Capacity: 39.88GB & the second partition says MacHD2 Capacity: 34.21GB. When I total up the memory capacity of both partitions I get a total of 74.09. What happened to the remaining 5.91GB?
Would it still be possible to install Windows on at least one HD partition or would it be better if I joined the two HD partitions (after reinstalling MacOS) & then install Windows?
Assuming that my Mac has the necessary memory & speed to run Windows, how do I begin the process of installing the Windows OS on my Mac? And, in the same respect, assuming that it doesn't meet the sufficient standards, then what can I do, if anything, to improve my Mac's performance so that it can support the additional OS?
Also, I have Virtual PC with Windows XP installer. When I bought VPC I was told that the package contained the full version of Windows XP OS. Can I use this software to install Windows XP, without installing VPC, or will I have to purchase the XP installation disc? Basically I would be buying something that I already have & I would like to avoid this if possible.
That's all. Any information would be helpful & greatly appreciated. THANX!
AJ

Thanks for responding. I've actually decided to just throw myself in with the wolves and buy Windows XP along with Parallels Desktop and figure it all out on my own.
Thank You!

You don't have to use an Apple drive. Any name brand
USB CD/DVD drive will work. "Off brands" are best to
be avoided regardless of computer. LG's seem to work
quite well for me.

How can I transfer files on Mac Mini Server?

I purchased this week a new MacMini Server and as brilliant as it is, I seem to have loaded all my files from my MacBook Pro onto the wrong disk; ie, the Macintosh HD2 rather than the Macintosh Server disk.
The question is, how can I effect a transfer easily to the Server HD. Then I would like to delete everything I put in the HD2 from my Time Machine transfer?
I fear I really flipped on this one!
Any helpful comments appreciated.

Your best bet is to boot from the Server Disc (hold down option at the reboot chime sound) to select it.
Then run Migration Assistant and connect the MBP via Firewire cable and move the required files over
Once done just erase the HD2 Volume
DO NOT copy or Clone the System folder and Library from the MBP as it's not compatible.
