How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop.  I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop? 
Thanks,
Shirley

Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2)  you will need those serial numbers also.
regards

    i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes.  For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases).

  • How can I move over my iPhoto from iMac 10.5.8 onto new macbook pro Mavericks? Tried file sharing tells me I haven't got the relevant permissions when I try to put it onto desktop. Can someone give noddy instructions on what to do please?

    I have tried copying iphoto onto flash drive and then putting on the pro but it just comes up as having no photos in it. Can I have two seperate iphotos on one laptop? I tried file sharing the iphoto library too but just comes up with not having the relevant permissions to put it on the pro. Please help, I'm not massively computer literate and just want my laptop to have photos on. I also need to move my itunes music....how would I do that? I don't want everything from my imac so don't want to use migration assistant. Thank you.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thank you again for another very swift response.
    The folder got into the Trash because I'm an idiot who didn't think he needed it anymore.
    Then I thought: hold on a minute.  I'll pull that back out of the Trash before I delete it, JUST in case.
    And thank goodness I did.
    Here are the Terminal results:

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • How can I transfer the application Keynote from my old computer to a new one and get rid of it on the old computer?

    My MBP from 2008 is being retired by my university and they gave me a new MBP.  They transferred everything from their image and all my iWork documents were transferred.  However, since I added Keynote, Numbers, and Pages, they did not transfer.  He said they cannot transfer them since they are not part of their image and active directory.
    How can I get the iWork apps to my new computer and disengage them on the old computer without paying another $60?
    Thanks so much for any advice.
    Best,
    HED

    If you installed them from a DVD, you need to install that DVD onto the new computer. If you got them from the Mac App Store, redownload them from there for free.
    Having previously purchased an application on DVD or from the iTunes App Store does not allow a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

  • How can I move my Acrobat software from my old laptop to my new that doesn't have a disk drive?

    Oh, that's the heading - ok...  Well, I think the subject line pretty much says it all
    I bought a Lenovo 2 Yoga.  It does not have a disk drive so I can't load the software onto the new system.  And, I don't want to repurchase Acrobat again.  Is there a way to get my Acrobat from my old laptop to my new?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thanks Sam.am.  I did do that and it appeared to have worked great.  The only problem now is it wants my Serial number.  I have gone over to Identit-e 2.0 to enter my product code to get the serial number as Adobe has directed - but, it doesn't recognize my code.  This was a Student Teacher version.  I have all the original stuff and the product code.  So, I'm not sure why it won't recognize the product code.  I'll keep digging.
    Thanks for the other suggestions guys.  Can I move my Acrobat X Pro folder from my old laptop to a stick and just do it that way should I not be able to get the serial number?
    Thanks again
    Paul
