HT4889 Will migration assistant/setup assistant transfer applications like Photoshop, MS Office, etc.?

I'm going to be moving from one MacBook Pro to a newer one.  My current MBP has the MS Office suite installed, plus Photoshop and Lightroom.  Will setup assistant/migration assistant transfer those applications, or do I need to install them on the new machine myself?

It should, if there is nothing the matter with the hardware of the machine.   Backup your data as a clone just in case. It is always helpful to have more hard disk space in the destination than the origin.

  • Is Loading Sceen In Video Games Made in Applications Like Photoshop?

    Is Loading Sceen In Video Games Made in Applications Like Photoshop? Isn't photoshop only being able to make photos? If they made the loading screen, do they have to make like 100 copies (1%~100%)? Or did they made it on other softwares like 3ds Max or something?

    i have a bluetooth mighty mouse and ive noticed it will lag ever so often. Mine gets cured when i swap out the batteries though. I use rechargeable so that way I can keep a fresh supply of power.
    it shouldn't be like that every few seconds.
    I recommend using a good quality rechargeable battery and try adjusting your mouse settings to make it more responsive.

  • HT4889 Will migration assistant restore previous settings to a new mac?

    I had a hard drive crash which required replacement.  The tech shop reinstalled OS 10.6.8 for me and I want to use my Time Machine backup to restore all of my files, settings, bookmarks, etc.  I have used Migration Assistant and done a restore but nothing has changed, although I know files were transerred from the backup.  What am I doing wrong?

    Migration Assistant will restore the user accounts that existed previously. Did it create a new account for the one on the old drive?
    Are you trying to restore it back to 10.8?

  • My desk top OS is Win xp and when I change to firefox will everything still be on my computer like desktop icons, favorites, etc.

    Also do I then remove IE? You can probably tell I'm a real "rookie" at these computer functions.

    Yes IE will be kept, and your favorites will still be in IE, but you can transfer them to Firefox if you would like.

    .if I do a complete restore will it delete all my personal details including credit card details ? That is what I want to do.

    To my knowledge your CC infomation is not on the iPod but on an Apple server. To make a blank iPod I would g to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
    If you restore you iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes, your iPod willbe signed into the account that iTunes is signed into.

  • Hi folks, is it possible to enhance the performance of my iPhone 4 (running on iOs 7.0.4)? My iPhone has really become slow, applications like Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber etc take ages to load!

    Any help is appreciated!

    If you go to this page, Apple specifically states that performance enhancements for iPhone 4's are included in this update (scroll down to the bottom of the page).
    Some folks may have found that their iPhones don't seem to work as well with iOS 7, but that generally means there were other issues that were present prior to the update & they are only just now coming to light.
    If you still have issues after upgrading to iOS 7.1, the next thing to try would be to backup your phone & restore it as a new device, just to see if the issues clear up.
    If yes, something on your phone is corrupt; if no, you may have a hardware issue that requires the phone to be replaced.

  • Setup Assistant problems - 2006 MacBook to new MBP

    I have a 2006 MacBook 1.83Ghz (A1181) running OS 10.7.5 and I am trying to migrate to a new MacBookPro via SetUp Assistant. 
    I use the 2006 MB to run a business.
    My initial attempt at SetUp Assistant via machine-to-machine ethernet failed, hanging @ Less Than a Minute Remaining (Transferring Apps) for over 12 hours.
    2006 MB has energy settings set to "Disk never sleeps" and wifi off.
    I then tried SetUp Assistant via Target Disk Mode to the old machine, but the new MBP didnt like the FW400 to FW800 connection and did not recognize the source (TargetMode) disk.  I have an adaper to convert the FW800 cable (new MBP) to FW400 (2006 MB).  The cable works fine with other uses with the adapter.
    I then tried SetUp Assistant via Time Machine backup, hanging @ Less Than 12 Minutes Remaining (Transferring Apps) for over 12 hours.
    I then reformatted the new MBP drive various times, reloaded the OS from the Recovery partition and tried only migrating User files (not apps).  Still hanging.
    I called Applecare and was instructed to go thru SetUp Assistant and create a new user (ie do not migrate data), update the OS to 10.8.3 then invoke Migration (not SetUp) Assistant.  I was able to copy over Users after another apparent hang of 6 hours.   At the end of the UserFile migation, it complained of not migrating some files due to incompatibility (Parallels).   This approach now left me with 2 users and Time Machine created a new backup (not leveraging my previous backup).  Apple says that I can still access the old Time machine backup, but Spotlight doesnt index it so I'd need to manually hunt thru backups.backupdb for files desired (not ideal!)
    I went back to my 2006 MB and removed Parallels, and any other (stale) app that no longer works with 10.7.5 (represented by the circle-slash icon overlaid on app icon).  So another reformat of the MBP, OS re-install and SetUp Assistant run via ethernet leaves me hanging @ Less 17 Minutes Remaining (Transferring Apps) for over 12 hours.
    Being that I am upgrading hardware to support a business, I want the new machine to be identical to the old with Time Machine with one user allowing me to use the existing TimeMachine data with the new machine (as mentioned here on Pondini: http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrationProblems.html )
    Has anyone come across this challenge?  I have read thru the Message Boards here and have not tripped over an apparent solution.
    I am more than happy to manually copy files over from old to new, but want just the one (2006 MB) user with existing Time machine working seemlessly on new machine in the end.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes - let's compare migration assistant/time machine to Carbon Copy Cloner. Migration Assistant is only useful to transfer files. Other than that, forget it. Craps out at "less than a minute to go" when trying to lay down an image. Better to use Recovery in Disc Utility or Super Duper/Carbon Copy Cloner to copy an image if you have multiple accounts, password-protected disc images, partitions. Seriously Apple, why do you have to suck at exection of something so simple and standard - laying down a disc image? Why even put people through your useless migration assistant? Oh right, we need to buy some additional cables to do so.

  • I am changing macs from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air can I transfer application licenses to new device

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 that I need to switch to a MacBook Air . I have applications like aperture, MS Office 2010, photoshop and others that I want to move to the air. I will be cleaning the drive on the MacBook Pro and selling it.
    Is there a way to do this and still be compliant to the licenses?

    Except for some very specialized licenses, yes you can do this. If you simply migrate your system from one to the other you should have all your apps on the new one and working fine. To be legal, just delete those apps once your new system is up and running fine.

  • Will leopard erase my files and applications

    when i install leopard will my applications like photoshop, illustrator, etc. get erased? and what about my other files?

    As others have pointed out, a bootable backup is the ideal solution. Dismount (please ask if you don't understand how) the backup after finishing making it and disconnect before installation. My FAQ* here explains how to make backups:

  • Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?

    Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?

    Hello:
    Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?
    I doubt if anyone can answer your question.  With a new Mac, setup assistant opens the first time the system is turned on.  One can also use migration assistant.
    I have used both for several years and have never "lost" any data.
    If you want to move, have a good backup and then do it.

  • HT4889 Will I need the original registration numbers for programs like Pro Tools to run migration assistant?

    I am getting a new iMac and will be using Migration Assistant to transfer files from the old iMac to the new iMac.  Will I need registration numbers to run programs like Pro  Tools after I tsfr the files?  Big problem since I've lost the disks and the reg numbers.  What about programs I've downloaded from the net like Quicken.  Will these files open and run.  Are there a lot of problems in setting up a new machine this way?  I would like to start with a clean machine and reload all software but things like pictures and music files are stored all over as I was going through the process of learning how macs store files after being on PC's for years.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    When you first start the new iMac, you will get Setup Assistant, which is more reliable than Migration Assistant based on what others have experienced. If everything transfers okay, hopefully the applications should work fine.

  • I'm trying to use migration assistant to transfer applications from my imac to macbook. Using either a firewire or network, as I'm waiting to select items to migrate, I receive an error message that "the application quit unexpectedly". My imac is newer.

    I'm trying to use migration assistant to transfer applications from my newer imac to an older macbook (10.5.8).  I keep getting an error message "application quit unexpectedly" as I'm waiting to select the items to migrate.  I've tried using a firewire cable as well as just a network connection.
    Thank you.

    Here is some information:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    It mentions that migration is not supported with 10.4; now you said you have 10.5 - it may be the same problem. Besides, migration assistant will recognize an older system and move apps etc. over to a newer system - I'm not sure it will do the same thing in reverse.
    And, there are a couple more problems: one is that your newer versions may not be backwards compatible with the old 10.5 and the second is that is you are trying to copy apps so you can use them on both, it most likely violates the SLA (unless you purchased them on MAS).
    So, if none of those two apply, I'd simply try target disk mode (without the assistant) and drag over the apps.
