I have a new iMac and I was able to transfer all files but not my VMware virtual machine. How do I do this?
I was able to migrate all my stuff from the old iMac to the new iMac but can't access my VMware virtual machine. How do I transfer it from the old to the new.
I would
1. use an ext hd or usb stick to copy them over to manually
2. transfer them manually over the network to a shared volume
never could get migrate to work at all from my old windows pc
so I ended up copying everythign

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?
You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

my Mac Book has 80 G hard drive and right now I only use 30 G on the new iMac. Would love to put the clean installs and Lion on the Mac Book.
Is that possible? Can I use the WiFi or ethernet or firewire to do this if it is possible?
RuthIf your new iMac came with Lion installed, then it is illegal to use it on another computer (these terms are contained in the SLA licensing agreement you agreed to). Aside from that, it probably would not work because your Macbook may not even meet the minimum system requirements. If it does, then update it to Snow Leopard ($29) and then buy Lion.

I was able to text my friend to her number but now that I have updated my iPhone it shows that it's an iMessage when I text her to the same number, I know that with iMessages you have to turn on your Internet but I'm texting her to her same number so it shouldn't be an iMessage. Can someone please help?
Hi rennekamp3,
If your machine currentlty won't boot past a grey Apple screen, you may find the following article helpful:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
Note: If you get to the portion on starting from the Install Disks or performing an Archive/Erase & Install, you'll notice this article has not yet been updated for the more recent operating systems. In that case, you may want to refer to the following article:

I created the layout and design of my webpage on MicroSoft Word and have been useing iWeb to actually create and publish it. In my logo I have the word EmergeSense and it has a shadow of the word behind and benath it. In Safari it shows up just fine but in FireFox it does not.
I do have screen shots of the two I could show you but I don't know to up-load them so you can see the difference. I would like it very much if my logo would show up correctly in Firefox but don't know how to approach the issue.Try this css for the image: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/moz-box-shadow/

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...
Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

I purchase my QuickTime 7 Pro registration key via a friend in USA as it was not available to residents in South Africa. I now have a new iMac and the registration code doesn't want to activate PRO. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy a new registration code for my newiMac?
i'm in SA and it say Apple Support not available at the moment or something like that.
Just got the new iMac.
Still using MacBook Pro.
Files are on a external drive shared between these 2 mac platforms and I need to be able to
edit in QT 7 Pro on both as well.
The code was bought in August 2011. -
I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap legal version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?
I understand that Photoshop 5 is not compatible?
I used to use CS5 at work which was very good, doing a little reserach it appears as if this suite has been replaced by a monthly 'cloud' charge which for me as a basic home user is unnecessary.
Appreciate any help.Hello Simonlala;
Anyone that buys an iMac should not have to buy "cheap". it's like putting "retread tires" on a brand new Farrari! Ugh!
To find a cheap version of PS is to locate an obsolete version only? Software surplus business may have some or check the obituary columns to see if any Photographers or Gaphic Designers have left some things behind?
Some options...enroll in a community college Multimedia class and you will not only have access to Photoshop, you'll have access to much more software for the price of the course. It will also qualify you as a student and you can get a discounted rate on the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well.
If you are only making "simple flyers" would not MS Word or OpenOffice software do the job for you? There are applications for that purpose and Photoshop is not the only way to skin this cat! Or you can always buy a box of Crayola's and make a pamphlet that way?
And as a bonus, you may learn something from the course you enroll in.
I am a student and subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud...it's reasonable for my purposes for now. -

Hello JETaylor2015,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

My computer was stolen so I deauthorized all computers that had iTunes on them on 10/28/2011. I have a new computer and it was authorized for iTunes. When I checked my account it says I have 2 authorized computers, but this new computer should be the only one. How can I deauthorize whatever the other computer is? I don't want whoever stole my old computer to be able to use my iTunes account.
Get all that music back in itunes and sync again.

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.
As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...
Re the iMac running OS X 10 5 8... and for your New Mac...

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli
You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

I have a new Imac and connected a VGA projector
We have a new imac and have connected it to a VGA projector and have purchased a mini VGA convertor cable from the apple store, but now it changes the resolution once you change monitor in the system folder to mirrow. This is the only way we can get it to work. This there a problem with OS Lion.
You can disable it as a desktop in System Preferences > MIssion control > uncheck "Show Dashboard as a space".
