How do I intall a Lightroom 4 upgrade onto a new computer

I have just purchased a new laptop computer.  I have Lightroom 3.1 installed on my old laptop.  I want to upgrade to Lightroom 4 on the new computer.  Can I install the upgrade directly on the new computer, or do I need to transfer the old Lightroom over first?

Download and install Lightroom 4 on the new computer. (No need to worry about installing LR3 first)
Enter your LR4 upgrade serial number.
The LR4 installer will ask for the serial number of an earlier qualifying version.
Enter the LR3 serial number
The LR4 installer will complete the installation

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again. I just want to be able to get all of my music that I bought on itunes onto my computer. Right now the money ive spent is just gone and I have no music to show for it.

    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • If my old computer died and I lost everything including my itunes initial account.  How do I get my itunes account back onto my new computer, or do I have to set up a new itunes account.

    My old computer died completely and I lost everything including my itunes account.  How do I get my old itunes account back onto my new computer.  The old itunes account is still active on my ipad 2.

    An itunes account is just a user name and password.  You can use your account from any computer/device with itunes.
    Do you mean your library ( music/apps/content)?
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to bakcup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/ipad/iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases or you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Need help installing Lightroom 5 upgrade on a new computer

    Hi all,
    On Mac #1 I have Lightroom 5, which was upgraded to from Lightroom 4. I have noted down a full v4.x licence key and a v5.x upgrade key, and these worked on Mac #1.
    I now want to install Lightroom 5 on Mac #2. I can install and activate v4 but when I install v5 it doesn't offer me an upgrade activation. The only licence it seems to want is a full v5 one (it doesn't accept my v5 upgrade key).
    How can I get LRv5 installed on the new computer?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks Kglad, that worked.
    I was downloading the full trial of LRv5, but what I needed to do was go into my account and hit the download button next to the upgrade order in my order history. This downloads a different installer.
    I'm happy now --> :-)

  • HT1329 How can I get my old music library onto my new computer when my old laptop with all the library is broken?

    My old laptop had all my music library on it and I have no back up. I have gotten a new laptop (a PC not MAC) and really need my music onto my iphone, please help!!

    Depending on what the problem with the laptop is, you could take the hard drive out of the laptop and put it into an external hard drive caddy (laptops uasally use 2.5" drives). This should allow you to access all the files on the drive however if the hard drive is damaged you will have a harder time recovering the files.

  • How do I get photos OFF my ipod onto a new computer?

    I can see the photos on the iPod.
    I've tried putting it in dick mode but the photo files don't show up. All my other files seem to be there.
    Putting new photos on the ipod is easy. Getting them off and onto a new computer doesn't seem like it can be done.
    Any ideas?

    I don't have the original pictures because I don't have the original computer. I can't re-put them on the ipod. We're talking 4000 pictures or so.
    Right now I have Image Recall looking at the ipod. It's found 37 pictures so far. I'm hoping it will be able to find the rest. I'm not hopeful.

  • How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

    I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

    The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
    Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
    If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.
