How can I move CS6 to a new computer?

I received my license through TechSoup. My macbook pro is old and I am replacing it when the next models come out (we hope in a couple of months)  Right now I need to use only one app (inDesign) which I currently have in trial mode. I don't have room to put the whole CS6 on this computer, though I could put it on an attached HD.  What should be my plan of attack so as to not invalidate my license?

you are entitled to two concurrent installations/activations with your one license, but if you don't need cs6 on your old computer, deactivate (help>deactivate) it.
when your new computer arrives install (do not move/transfer/copy/etc) cs6 on your new computer and activate it with your serial number.

  • My laptop was stolen. How can I move music to a new computer?

    I have to buy a new laptop (PC) because mine was stolen a couple of weeks ago.  I don't have the ability to deauthorize iTunes, or copy files.  All the articles I'm finding about using your iPod as a hard disk say that they don't apply to iPod Touch.  I'm nervous that I'm going to lose everything when I sync to a new computer.  Is there any way to save all of my files (including Playlists)?

  • I puchased a new laptop can i move CS6 to the new system?

    how can i move CS6 to a new system

    You do not want to try to move it.  Just install it like you did the first time.  You are allowed to have two activated installations so there is no need to deactivate and uninstall on the original machine - though you can if you choose to.  If you need to download to install you might find a link thru your Adobe account online if you purchased it from Adobe.  You can also download thru the following page:

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    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 and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How can I move CC to a new PC, from one I am returning to our asset team?

    I have CC installed on two PCs. So how can I move CC to a new PC, from one I am returning to our asset team?
    Howard

    You only need to sign out of it on the machine you wish to not use it on anymore.  After that, if you choose to you can uninstall it, but it is not necessary in terms of the software... maybe your asset team has issue with it remaining though.
    To get it on the new machine just install the same way you did for any others... install the Cloud manager, sign in, install the applications.

  • How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

    Can I move Photoshop to my new computer?

    Whereby, I think, it is only allowed to be used at your home address
    from clause 2.1.3
    "  ..... The “Primary User”may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
    or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same
    time as the Software on the primary Computer."
    Maybe a bit difficult to check, should you be on vacation taking along your laptop and like to edit your photos there,
    or have a 2nd home abroad. Assume a 2nd house/home may also be considered as a 'home' under the above clause.
    Ah well ...

  • How do I move 2 ipods to new computer?

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I'm not finding the answer when I search for this.
    I'm an old guy that doesn't use itunes or our ipods much.  So I'm not real familiar with all the use, downloading, etc. that goes with it.
    I have 2 ipods established on my old computer with itunes.  One in my name and the other in my wife's name.  I want un-sync those ipods from the old computer so I can sync them to the new computer.  The last time I tried, the old computer will still turn on.
    The old computer has Windows xp.  The new one has Windows 7.
    I have not downloaded any music at all (but I do want to download some music when I get this straightened out on my new computer).  My itunes only has cd's that I loaded there.  We both use the same itunes library to load our ipods.
    I downloaded itunes on my new computer already.
    How do I un-sync the 2 ipods from the old computer so I can sync and use them on the new computer?  Is there a step-by-step link anyone can refer me to?  I need instructions that don't assume I know anything about this.
    I'm on some car forums and I know it's a pain when someone asks something that's been covered so many times already.  But, I have searched and I'm not seeing what I need. 
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    I did this procedure tonight:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    All went well. 
    I did everything using my device.  So my next question is:
    How do I move my wife's ipod nano from the old computer to the new one?
    We used the same library.
    What is de-authorize?
    Since we use the same library:  Can I simply remove her's from the old, and then plug it into the new?
    Or, since I moved the library over, did her's automatically come with it?
    Thanks again.

  • Laptop Stolen, now How can I get Ipod working with new computer/disable old

    My laptop with my itunes was stolen. I still have my IPOD 30GB.....
    I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???
    Also I am worried, what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?
    Thanks for any help!!!!

    *what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?*
    You can't deauthorise a computer you no longer have access to on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    *I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???*
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How do I move itunes to a new computer?

    My daughter has a new computer, and we need to move her itunes to it. The purchased songs come up but the rest of her songs will not appear. How do I copy over the rest and have them accessible?

    If you can network the computers together via Ethernet or over a wireless connection, you could copy the music folder directly.
    Or if you have an iPod, you could set it to disk mode and use it to transport the songs from one computer to the other.

  • How do you move itunes to a new computer, keeping the songs in the library?

    I have a laptop now and would like to move the itunes from my home computer to my laptop. Is there a way to move it and keep my purchased songs in the library?

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
