  • How do I install DW on my new computer when my account tells me  "You have no downloads" ?

    I have deactivated DW on my old computer. 
    When logging into Adobe on my new computer and selecting to download DW, I get a screen that reads, "You have no downloads." 
    How do I install DW on my new computer?

    Are you a creative cloud subscriber?
    Grab the Creative Cloud Desktop App first, then download it from within the program...
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    If you have an older, perpetual license version of DW6 you can download it from here: Download and Installation Help | Download and Installation Help toward the bottom, then use your activation/serial from your previous installation.

    The activation servers for Audition 3 and earlier are no longer online.  Adobe has offered a new installer and serial number to registered users that does not require activation.  You can find details and download links by visiting http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

  • Backed up itunes library from old comp-movies and tv episodes will not transfer to new computer.. help please

    Hi. I bought a new computer due to several problems with my old one. I backed up my old itunes library on an external harddrive however while my music and apps transfer flawlessly itunes completely ignores me when i click on the movie files and/or folder. Any idea how to fix this ? I have roughly 4-5 movies on my old library and about 5 tv episodes.. and none will transfer to my new itunes.
    Any help would be muchly appreciated.

    Wonder if you have followed this article to copy your Itunes folder over:

    If so, go and look under this iTunes folder structure and check if your movies and TV show are there:

  • I'm currently backing up using Time Machine and a Seagate external hard drive, how to do I restore on a new computer?

    I hate to say it.. But I have never backed up!! I have thousands of pics of my son on this mac book, it got wet and NOW I'm backing up (as i type) to a Seagate external hard drive-  I plugged it in, and then Time MAchine launched automatically.  It looks like it's backing up my whole computer, is it backing up everything?  photos, address book, documents etc?  If my computer crashes tomorrow, how would I restore all of this information on a new computer?
    Help, I'm computer iliterate- hence the reason I got a Mac (so easy to use).  I need reasurance that it will back up!  How do I continue to back up?  Leave the external hard drive plugged in?  I'm telling you I'm below the knowledge of "Backing Up a Mac for Dummies"

    Time Machine makes a backup of the whole OS.X volume automatically, so you will have an exact copy of your hard disk in your Time Machine external disk. Also, Time Machine will make backups every hour, always that your Time Machine disk is connected. If you want more information, visit this site > http://pondini.org
    To restore this in a new Mac, you have to use Migration Assistant. Just connect the Time Machine drive into the new computer, open Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps. You will be able to select what you want to transfer.
    Also, if you have a brand-new Mac, you can do this during the initial setup. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the Time Machine disk and follow the steps

  • How to re-install Adobe software on new computer which does not have a disc drive? [was: Software Transfer Debacle]

    I just received a new computer for Christmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer the software I installed on my old computer to my new computer. But wait, there's more, my new computer does not have a disk drive. Any ideas?

    Very easy. Tell me what version Photoshop you have and I'll direct you to the proper downloadable installer file.
    Have your serial number ready. You can activate on 2 computers, so don't deactivate the old one until you are updated and sure it works on the new one.
    As a side note: You never copy or transfer Photoshop to a new computer, you have to install.

  • I have a laptop with a bad hard drive,  my iTunes library is on an external hardrive. How do I move iTUnes to a new computer and have it work?

    I have my iTunes Library all saved on an external hard drive.  I have iTunes on the desktop of my laptop.  The hard drive in my laptop is going bad.  How do I move iTunes to another computer and be able to use my external hard drive?  This may be easier than I might think.  I hope so.
    Thanks

  • Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications

    Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications. (Office Mac, Adobe CS6, Logic Pro)

    When OS X asks you to restore a backup, it will allow you to select what you want to restore from the backup, Just select the things you need, because if you select everything, you will be in the same status as before restoring the Mac to factory settings. This has nothing to do with erasing the hard drive
    It's OK to make backups with Time Machine

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
    You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

  • Do I have to install itunes on my new computer before I can transfer my library?

    Do I have to install iTunes on my new computer before I can transfer my account and library, and how do I do this if I had 9 on my old computer and there is iTunes 10 now?

    No you do not have to uninstall iTunes on the PC in order to unsync with the Mac. And where you got that information about having iTunes content on two products only is beyond me. You can associate your Apple ID and iTunes content with up to 10 devices but no more than 5 devices can be computers.
    If you could copy the iTunes library to your new Mac, that would be the ideal thing to do in order to transfer the iTunes library over. That would make the process pretty easy. You can also download most purchased content again as long as you use the same Apple ID and you could move content into your iTunes library that way.
    You will need to authorize the new Mac for your iTunes content. Launch iTunes on the Mac and got to Store>authorize this computer.
    There are many articles that will guide you through copying the iTunes library to the Mac and you can look through a bunch of them here.

  • If i install itunes on a new computer will i have access to download my itunes music library from icloud?

    If i install itunes to a new computer will i have access to download my itunes music library from icloud?

    It depends on what country you're in, whether or not you can authorize that computer, and whether or not the songs are still available in the iTunes Store. Any copies in the iCloud shouldn't be considered to be a substitute for a backup.
