Home Sharing does not have anything to do with connecting to the iTunes Store.

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

How do you test your new laptops?

To the gurus or people who have researched this question: How do you test your new laptops?
When you get a new laptop, what do you do to test it?
My X1Carbon might arrive in a couple weeks, and reading about all the failures and DOAs is scary. So assuming mine is not simply DOA, how do you shake out the less obvious or more obscure problems?
I did search for this info before posting. One other person asked the question,
>> Would appreciate advice re optimal set-up and what testing/diagnostics to do to determine if ther...
but no one answered.

With testing I start with the basics and work my way to the harder stuff.
Inspect the external condition of the machine.
Boot and enter the BIOS before Windows. Review settings then power off.
Boot from Acronis True Image Home backup/recovery DVD and clone HDD or SSD and thus the factory image before it's ever booted to Windows.
Boot to Windows and look carefully at the Lenovo factory image and try to get an understanding for the Lenovo software and why it is there. This does not include the other software from Microsoft, Google, etc.
Create Lenovo Factory Image DVD set with Rescue and Recovery. Throw disk set in the box or put on the shelf in case the machine is ever re-sold.
Test all of the ports - I test every port on the machine for my expected usage. For instance, in the case of the X1 Carbon I would confirm the mini DisplayPort connection works correctly with an external LCD panel. If the machine had a IEEE firewire port or something, test that. Test the USB 3.0 ports with a known working external external enclosure and verify transfer speeds.
Test the SSD speed with CrystalDiskMark, ATTO and AS Disk Benchmark software to get a good overview of the performance.
Install HWiNFO and look carefully at the components. Observe turbo boosting, thermals and fan RPM over the course of a few days for battery and AC power.
Do at least one full battery discharge and recharge. Observe the cycle and details are being properly displayed and recorded in Lenovo Power Manager.
Download all software and drivers from support.lenovo.com for the model being tested. Confirm visually you have all the core components needed. Core includes the drivers, power management driver, Power Manager, hotkeys, etc.
Flatten the machine and install Windows or Linux from scratch. Install drivers and software.
Re-test ports and confirm the machine is working properly.
Benchmark the SSD again. Confirm no change.
Install HWiNFO and confirm turbo, thermals and fan speeds are still proper.
Install core applications and test them. There may be core features in Windows that also need to be installed and tested. For instance, Windows 8 Hyper-V for virtualization.
Connect any external devices you expect to use and test them. For instance, video cameras, smartphones, mp3 players, digital cameras, printers, USB docks, etc.
Do several battery tests with your typical applications and behavior. The goal here is to simulate how the machine will be used in your day-to-day setting or travel scenarios. I usually do at least three tests. This can be rather time consuming with long battery life machines so I get a lot of other testing out of the way first.
By the time you get to this point, if you haven't hit any major roadblocks you'll start to have a good feel for the machine, and if it is going to be a keeper or not. The assumption here is that during this timeframe you have been observing the screen, keyboard, and trackpad performance to see if it's to your liking. The other assumption is that you are using the machine and applications in the scenarios you are purchasing it for.
I don't run synthetic benchmarks. I prefer to test a machine against the scenarios I expect to use it with. I spend most of the first week making this assessment. If any major hardware defects are present, the machine is automatically returned. I do not repair machines just received. No exceptions.
Week 2 is for ironing out any minor issues and assessing if the machine meets the requirements for the scenarios it will support. If it does, it is kept. If it does not, it is returned. This week includes subjective and objective input. You have to weigh the pros and cons for a machine against your priorities. It is rare that a machine is perfect so you have to decide the ROI for the machine. Service and Support must be considered so week two might include a call to support for any unresolved issues. Don't discount the service you receive during this period.
After week two, you are likely right on top of the last day to return a Lenovo machine. The return period is 21 days from the invoice date (I believe), not the day the machine is received so make sure you are well aware of it. After 21 days, the machine is yours for good unless you sell it. Decision time.
Good luck.

How can i authorize my new laptop(windows)?

How can i authorize my new laptop(windows)?

If you go into iTunes and navigate to the 'Store' tab it should have the option to 'Authorize this Computer'

Need to authorise new laptop after old one crashed. Have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for 12 month "Deauthorise all computers" to become available again. How can I authorise this new laptop?

Hello... I need to authorise a new laptop after my old one completely died (before I could deauthorise it!!). I have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for the 12 month "deauthorise all computers" option to become available again. Does anyone know how can I authorise this new laptop as one of the 5, in place of the old one? Any help gratefully received!

Go to one of the authorized computers and de-authorize it individually.
The one year limitation is ONLY for the de-authorize all option.

Laptop died and I can't deactivate LR. How can I install on new laptop?

Laptop died and I can't deactivate LR. How can I install on new laptop?

Lightroom doesn’t have a formal activation process like Photoshop, although Adobe may be tracking something since they do want you to log in during the registration process. I’m not sure.
In general your license allows you to install it on up to two computers as long as you’re only ever using one at a time, so just download and install the latest update for LR on your new laptop and enter the serial number(s) or login to CC, whichever licensing model of LR you have. CC does have a two-computer limit, but if you install on a third computer you’ll be asked to deactivate the other two and then only ever login to CC on the other computer that you want to license and it’ll be fine.
You can get the latest update to whatever LR series you have from the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
You will need to find your serial number(s). If you registered LR with Adobe then they should be available online after logging in to adobe.com and a few clicks into Manage account.

How to transfer library to new laptop

Hi all
I am hoping someone can help me!
I have bought a new laptop and installed iTunes onto it. My iTunes library however is on my husbands laptop and I cannot work out how to transfer it from his laptop to my new one. I've tried the "Export" option under File menu but it doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone please explain to me in simple steps (and non techie language!!) how I export my library? I do not have an exernal harddrive either, I only have a small capacity memory stick so if I need to put the music on the stick I may need to repeat the process a few times!
Thank you in advance for any help
Michala

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 to put ilife on new laptop

How do I put iLife on my new laptop, please?

If you don't know what iLife is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILife
If you don't know what OS X verison you have, you can find out by going to the Apple Menu > About This Mac.
If it's a new OS X 10.7 laptop from the store in a unopened box, it should have come with it already installed.
If it's a new OS X 10.7 laptop from the store in a opened box, it likely has have erased and the operating system reinstalled, however to install the iLife requires a AppleID as it's copy protected, thus it can't be reinstalled less there is update problems with the new owner.
If not then follow these instructions, hopefully you won't have to pay for it.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
If you got this "new" 10.7 computer used at a discount, then you will have to go to the App Store under the Apple Menu, create a account with a credit card and buy it, download it and install it.
If it's a new laptop with 10.6, the machine specific disks that came with the computer should have the free iLife on it and you can insert the disk and run the installer package for bundled software.
If it's a new laptop with 10.6.3 white retail install disks, that version does have the included iLife and you will have to purchase it via the App Store.
If your machine was upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, and you have the 10.5 disks, you can extract iLife from the 10.5 disks using Pacifist from CharlesSoft.

New computer ?? on how to move library to new computer

I have done a search and followed some directions regarding this. But I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this. I'm hoping for some gently advice :-))
I have a new computer and want to move all my itunes to the new computer since it is faster. My new computer has Vista on it. I have read thru some searches regarding this, and this is what I've done so far.
I have made the new computer authorized under my account. And when I did that my music library did load on the new computer. None of my videos or movies moved to the new computer, is this supposed to be the case?? Also, when the music showed on the new computer, it did not show under the different playlist names that I have. Just the entire library. How do I get the new itunes to look like it does on the old computer (breaking down all the different playlists we have). We have 3 different ipods and different list for different family members.
I would appreciate any help..but please keep in mind. I really need an itunes
for dummy book! LOL Thanks in advance

I agree with that last statement, there does need to be an iTunes for Dummy's book. I could use it myself. Anyways...
To put your videos back in iTunes, you'll have to copy them from your old computer to the new one. Copy them onto a flash drive, and put them on the new PC. Then select: File/ Add File (Folder) to Library, and pick the File you want to add (folder of stuff you want to add).
You'll have to re-make the playlists yourself, sorry. Were they "Smart Playlists"? Because there is an option for these in the file menu. If your syncing iPods, watch out. Vista doesn't like iPods much. I've been having massive trouble putting mysic on my new Classic, and before that, updating my 30 GB Video. Good luck to you, and your family.

I synced firefox information to the servers and exchanged my laptop. How can I get the new laptop to sync with my firefox data?

I want to get my firefox sync data on my laptop. However, I haven't paired this device, I just have my information on the firefox servers under my account. How can I get the sync info on this new laptop?

If you don't have a 2nd device available which is already setup with your Sync account, pairing can't be done.
In order to set up a '''new device''' when you can't "pair", you need three things; the user account name ''(email address used)'', the password for the account, and the '''Sync Key'''.
If you didn't make a copy of the Sync Key as prompted at the end of the Sync set up process, you can't successfully setup a new device and won't be able to recover your data.

How to move solution to new tenant home ?

I have a tenant that is scheduled to be decommissioned.
I have copied it to the new TEST tenant and tried to continue my work there. However there are some components I cannot edit (BAC), as it still knows the original "home" is the outgoing tenant.
So the basic question: how to move the solution to the new tenant "home" so the solution belongs to the new tenant as the development source ? (BTW, I have not deployed yet, so it's still the original solution, not a patch).
Thanks ahead.

Tim,
I can't really answer the question, but i think i ran into something like this in the past.
I expect you went to "Implementation Manager" in the original Test Tenant, and did "Download A Copy"
You then logged into the new Test Tenant and did "Upload" of the copy that you had downloaded from the original Test Tenant.
What is the Status of your Project in the new Test Tenant? Where you see Solution_Name (SolutionStatus) within the "Project Explorer", does it actually still say "In Development" in the new Test Tenant? I seem to recall when i did this process, it changed the status to something that wasn't "In Development"
