How to move photoshop from old mac to new mac?

how to move photoshop from old mac book air to new mac book pro retina display (no disc drive)?

It can be possible to use the Migration Assistant, but you must take into account that any recent Photoshop requires activation with a server account, like Apple iTunes does for purchases. To avoid potential problems, you want to make sure that you deactivate any software (like iTunes or Photoshop) that you have installed from any company that requires activation, and then reactivate them after you migrate. Otherwise it is possible that any software you activated might stop working if it notices that the underlying hardware has changed.
Also, you only get 2 activations of Photoshop and 5 of iTunes, so you don't want to lose any because you forgot to deactivate before getting rid of the old Mac.
Migration Assitant is not perfect, so the most reliable way to migrate is to deactivate Photoshop before migrating and then run a clean installation of it after migration using your original media and serial number.

  • How to move iPad from old XP to new Windows 8?

    I get how to move the music. I get how to transfer the store purchases. My fear is that I will somehow lose my Contacts and Calendar information, and my game progress. Luckily, my old XP is still working. I have an external drive. I've downloaded and installed the current iTunes to both the XP and Win 8 machines. I've created an encrypted backup of the iPad 2 (iOS 6.1.3) on the old XP. I know where that backup lives within the Application Data. I know where the iTunes Folder lives within the My Music section of My Documents. I see that it's arranged differently within the file structure ("Music" vs "Media") as compared to the Win 8 machine. I'm not using Outlook to sync Contacts or Calendars on either machine. I'm not averse to using iCloud, but again, afraid of losing Contacts. Hours of fruitless searching and contradictory and outdated advice have lead me to write to you all. If anyone can provide clear, concise, step by step instructions on how to sync my iPad 2 with my new computer so that I can get back to playing Candy Crush without losing my Contacts, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How to transfer metadata from old PC to new Mac?

    All,
    I would like to transfer my entire iTunes library from a PC to a MacBook Pro. The PC runs XP. My key question is how to import the metadata, i.e., play count and ratings?

    Hey JDelage,
    Thanks for the question. This sort of data is stored within the iTunes Library itself, so you’ll want to transfer the entire iTunes folder. The following resource outlines some techniques, of which external drive may be your best option:

  • How to transfer apps from old pc to new mac

    I now have a brand new MacBook Pro laptop and have transferred everything except my apps from my old iTunes on PC to my new one using the home share function because there seems to be no option for the apps.  I've made sure the box is ticked in the General Tab of my Preferences on both computers but the apps still don't show up.  Am I missing something?  I have both firewire and USB cables for both computers.  Thanks for any input.

    Your answer would be useful is you could help this novice just a little bit more.  I'm only able to view the iTunes sidebar when I've selected Music under Library and there is no Quick Link option.  It seems that every option I find pertains to music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc, but never the apps where I paid for them or they were free downlods!  How might I do what you offered?  Thanks for your patience!

  • How To Move Mail From Old Drive To New Drive

    Hi All
    My situation was I have an iMac 27inch 2010 running Mavericks and added another HD with a SSD drive and needed to get my Mail messages into the new Mail app on the SSD drive.
    I downloaded a freeware called "Invisiblix" which finds hidden files then went to old hard drive   - Users - Username - Library  (was hidden for me) - Mail - and copy Mail folder to new Mail folder on the new drive (SSD) make sure Mail is closed. Follow same procedure to get to new mail on new drive.
    Worked perfectly for me.

    The way I usually do it is to create an Address Book backup database file (sorry; on a PC at the moment, not sure of the exact wording) on the "old" computer, then copy that file to the new one. Then, from on the new computer, open Address Book and choose to import or restore from a database file (again, sorry for not having the exact wording). When it prompts you to replace your existing data (of which there should be very little if anything), choose yes.
    This assumes that by "address book" you're referring to Apple's built-in Address Book, not, for example, Microsoft WhateverTheEquivalentApplicationWouldBe 1.0. .

    Some people have experience issues migrating from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I did not. But if you are getting a brand new MBP, it will have Lion on it, so that's a different story. Ideally, I would migrate my home/user folder and settings, but not my apps, then install Lion-ready apps from original discs.

    How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

    If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again.  They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)
