How to move programs from one mac to another

Hi guys, I was wondering if I can move all my programs on my iMac (adobe cs5, aperture, final cut studio, etc) to a macbook pro using time machine or migration assistant. I bought my iMac used and do not have have the serial numbers for adobe cs5 and final cut pro. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appriecated.
Thanks

Yes, you can do that. However, some commercial programs know they have been moved to a different machine and will require that you re-enter the license key. It may be better to try cloning one machine to the other.
Just connect them by Firewire cable. Boot the computer you want to copy TO into Target Disk Mode. Boot the one you will copy FROM normally. The computer in TDM will show up on the Desktop as just another hard drive.
Now use Disk Utility to clone them:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
  1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
  2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
  3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
  4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
  5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
  6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the TO computer. Source means the FROM computer.

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

  • How to move files from one folder to another folder in webdynpro java for sap portal

    Hello,
    Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
    ** Fast & simple file copy. */
    public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
    FileChannel in = null, out = null;
    try {         
    in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
    out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
    long size = in.size();
    MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
    out.write(buf);
    } finally {
    if (in != null) in.close();
    if (out != null) out.close();
    ================SECOND WAY============
    AND THIS WAY:
    // Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    copy(src, dest);
    src.delete();
    // Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
    // Transfer bytes from in to out
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
    out.write(buf, 0, len);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
    Thanks in advance,

  • How to move BLOBs from one table to another ??

    Hi All,
    I am trying to move blobs from one table to another, however my insert statement is not working. What i mean is its running, but records are not being inserted into the table.
    This is my first time moving blobs, so please bear with me.
    here is my insert statement:
    INSERT INTO CASES.FILESTORAGE
    SELECT      DID,
              DRENDITIONID,
              DLASTMODIFIED,
              DFILESIZE,
              DISDELETED,
              BFILEDATA       // this attribute is the BLOB
    FROM      USSC_CASES_TMP.FILESTORAGE
    WHERE      DID NOT IN (SELECT DID FROM CASES.FILESTORAGE);here is the DDL for the table.
    CREATE TABLE "USSC_CASES_TMP"."FILESTORAGE"
        "DID"          NUMBER(*,0) NOT NULL ,
        "DRENDITIONID" VARCHAR2(30 CHAR) NOT NULL ,
        "DLASTMODIFIED" TIMESTAMP (6),
        "DFILESIZE"  NUMBER(*,0),
        "DISDELETED" VARCHAR2(1 CHAR),
        "BFILEDATA" BLOB,
        CONSTRAINT "PK_FILESTORAGE" PRIMARY KEY ("DID", "DRENDITIONID")
      );CASES.FILESTORAGE table has the same DDL, but in a different schema.
    Thanks in advance.

    If this seems rather straight forward. If the schema are exact simply execute:
    inset into [destination] select * from [source] ;if something is amiss you should be throwing errors someplace* but try this:
    create table [scratch table name] as select * from [source table] where [place some limit here] ;If this does not work then something someplace is very wrong and if you are not the DBA you need to get this persons attention, fairly quickly. I would do the above from sqlplus and then after each statement would:
    commit;then check to see if it succeeded.

  • Move iphoto program from one mac to another

    I would like to move iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 from one mac with OS 10.6.8 to another mac with OS 10.5.8.  Can you tell me how to do this?  Thank you in advance.
    Joy

    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 move contacts from one account to another

    I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
    I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
    How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
    How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
    Thanks

    I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
    In answer to your second question:
    To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
    1.     Go to Settings
    2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
    4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
    5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear.  Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
    If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.
