Here is a post I recently assembled for a similar question

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac?
    Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps?  I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

    I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account?  I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account.  At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one.  Do you need a sim card to download free apps?  Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account?  Any suggestions?

    I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
    You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

  • How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
    Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number. 
    If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor.  If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
    If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
    You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:

  • HT204053 How can I delete old apple  IDs

    How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

    The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
    It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

  • How can I open encrypted Microsoft access files on a mac?

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • HT204382 hello somebody, how can I open/listen to yousendit file on mac? thnx

    hey guys  how do I open/listen to yousendit file on mac?  Thnx

    To me you have left out the critical information on how you are connected to this other Mac.
    Presumably if you can see the other Mac's drive you can start your iTunes with the option/alt key held down and guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file on the other computer.  That is starting from its library, not just using its media.  You do not do anything with preferences,  Do not touch those.  Many people make the mistake of thinking that is how you use media in another location.  You can point all you want but iTunes will not look there.  It will, though, start storing all your files you add to the iTunes library in that other location from that point on which will result in a fine organizational mess.
