How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.

What no BACKUP'
To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

    Same way you transfer music, apps, etc.
    Go to the photo tab, select what you want to sync, then sync.

  • How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • How do I transfer my music from my macbook pro to my iPhone using iCloud

    I have set up iCloud on my macbook pro and iPad2. But I cannot transfer all of my purchased apps and music to my iPad. I also cannot transfer my iTunes purchases from my macbook pro to my new iPhone 4S. How do I get iCloud to do this?  Have I missed a step activating iCloud?

    You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.
    On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

  • How can i migrate my software from a macbook pro to a mini server

    So i have bought a new Mac Mini Server but now i want to migrate my MacBook Pro User Profile, Data Files and Software to it. yet it would appear that there is no migration agent to use which implies that Apple miss an important part of the Mac experience.
    So if any body out there has a solution i would welcome your input. i had thought about using the push option from the MacBook Pro migration Agent but not sure if that would work.
    Charles

    Well OK you can not use the migration assistant because there isn't one for SL Server and it looks that if you want to migrate from a MBP to server as a user you have 2  choices manually move the item you want to an identical user on the server or create the user and bild the software and move the data required.
    how ever i have had a result in using the 2nd drive for just SL, when I spoke to the tech at the apple store yesterday he said use a retail copy of OSX SL which wont boot but apply update 10.6.8 combo and the system will then boot and bingo you will have a dual boot machine. "Ho No you Won't" firstly once you run the install from the CD which has to be triggered from Server the machine will reboot after copying the packages to the new drive but does not run them to build the SL system so you have nothing to install the update onto hence doesn't work.
    Here's the suprise I had a copy of my MBP on a spare hdd produced by Carbon Copy, so I attached this the a FireWire case to the mini held the alt key down and powered up. much to my suprise the mini booted into the external drive hold my MBP copy of SL. from then on in it was just a case of copying the drive using carbon copy to the 2nd drive on the mini and hey presto reboot and i now have both server and  and non server mini in one box.
    Sometimes you just get Lucky.

  • How do I transfer files/settings from my macbook pro to my new iMac?

    My macbook pro's logic board is bad, so it does not power on. Is there any way to still transfer files or settings from the hard drive? An adapter of some sort? Maybe the Apple Store can when I get the iMac?
    All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.

  • How can i backup my pictures from my macbook pro that doesnt let me log in? I just want to get the pictures i have in it, everything else is not important.

    Last night i uninstalled Aperture from my macbook pro 13 inch, 2010. After i restarted my mac (as required) it didnt let me log into my account. I was only able to log into my guest account. Either way, my screen would flicker as if something was wrong. So now im thinking of doing a clean install but first i want to get my pictures. I do have an external hard drive 1tb that i could use.

    See if you can get your hands on a firewire cable, and another Mac. If so, target disk mode should solve your problems.
