I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

I have just gone through the start upo process for a new iMac and skipped the section to upload data from my old computer from an external hard drive. How do I do this now?

I'm setting up my new iMac and need digital audio out.

I'm running a top spec iMac with AVID and FCP. I need to export the audio to my amp as a digital signal. How can I do this???

If it''s got a optical out on the computer and your amp has optical in then you should just be able to use a toslink-to-toslink cable to connect them and set your sound output preferences to digital out.
If your imac has a 3.5 mm audio/optical combo-jacks then you need a toslink-to-miniplug (toslink) cable. Still set the sound out to digital out.

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

I'm setting up my new imac and

Hi
I'm setting up my new imac and have migrated files from my old windows pc okay. the problem is that the migration utility created two different users for my music and my pictures. i want to combine all files under one user. any suggestions? (sorry, first time mac user). Cheers

You have to decide to use one account. To move your data, you can use an USB drive or Shared folder

I've set up a new iMac and transferred my library. Now, when I switch on iTunes Match it gets to about 25% on stage 1 and just stops working, Anyone know how to fix this?

Ok, so the likely cause is 1 or more Songs are tripping up iTunes Match. To resolve, move to Song view, switch on iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields - sort the view on iCloud Status - identify Songs with status other than Purchased, Matched or Uploaded. Temporarily remove them from the library, allow iTunes Match to complete the 3-step process. Gradually import the Songs back in - any that cause a repeat failure, place in a playlist, burn to audio CD and import as 256k AAC.
Note: iTunes Match service in UK at present is intermittant, may be worth trying from 1200 tomorrow to give Apple the chance to complete its current updates.

You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

This is a fairly in-depth tutorial on moving from one computer to another.(I recommend Option 1)
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2009/02/28/how-do-i-move-lightroom-to-a- new-computer/
Also, there's no need to find the original disk for installation. Just download the latest update of your purchased version from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and user your original serial number.

If you have the old PC, transfer the library from it. If not, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?

I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?

the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it.

I've ordered a new iMac, and need to install a ghost drive which ran Leopard...

Recently my very old PowerBook G4 died, and before I replaced it with a new iMac the store offered to have my hard drive ghosted onto an external hard drive so I wouldn't lose my data and have to reinstall all my programs, which I accepted. The old laptop is now with the insurance company, and I have two hard drive copies - one ghost, one with the data I needed in the interim.
If I put the ghost of the hard drive on my new iMac, will it backtrack my OS to Leopard and iLife '06, which is what I was running on the Powerbook?
If so, can I re-upgrade it back to Snow Leopard and the iLife that the iMac currently ships with, with the OS X discs supplied in the box, or will I need to go out and purchase this software again, separately?

This will not work because Mac's will not run earlier versions of OS X than they originally shipped with. I've never heard the term "Ghost Drive" you may wanto to ask the tech if they created a Bootable Clone. If they did then restoring everything from it is simple using Setup Assistant. This will move all the data, settings, apps etc from the old drive to the new machine. One huge advantage of SA is it will not migrate older apps to the new machine, meaning if your new machine has iLife 11 on it and the old drive has an earlier verison of iLife on it the newer version of iLife will remain on the new machine.
You will need to start over though which is pretty easy, just use Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance..." and follow the on-screen instructions.

Bought a new iMac, and need to migrate all apps

Hi all,
I've been banging my head trying to work this one out and i think it's time i posted. Had a look around the forum and can't seem to find a solution.
All my apps I've bought are on my Mac Mini and the ones I use are on my iPhone. I have recently bought an iMac (love it) and am in the process of moving everything over. I've done this manually rather than through Time Machine restore as a way to clean out years of memory hogging junk. How do I transfer my apps i've bought across to the new iMac?
Thanks for your help.

hi thanks for your help. Unfortunately that isn't going to work for me. My iTunes library was 'corrupted' for lack of a better word - on my AppleTV it was still showing podcasts that i had deleted. Also the folder structures for my library was a mess. I have over 3TB of media spread out over 5 external hard drives and I'm rebuilding the library. i've reimported all my music, movies, TV shows and podcasts (fixed the problem with my AppleTV) but now have an issue with getting my apps into the library.
I had found the app files in Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications. I dragged and dropped them from the old computer into the new one, restarted iTunes but they still don't appear.
Any other ideas?
