I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta. It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
Once installed all should be well again.
Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet. There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

I receive a "close firefox" message when trying to open the browser. I have reviewed task manager and no firefox applications are open. I have even uninstalled Firefox and, after reinstall, the same message appears (I did retain preferences).

Program was working fine. I attempted to open a webinar link from a known source. There is now no way to re-open Firefox or access any on my programs. After the uninstall, I did retain preferences. If I have to erase everything, I really do not see any value in continueing to use the program

There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

Got my codes, but it says they have already been used!

Put my codes into the redeem section and it says they have already been used! On a new MacBook Pro and I have not previously downloaded Mountain Lion. I'm getting ready to move to the UK on Sunday, any idea if that will affect this process?

Hello,
in addition to shreya's hint, please have a look there >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html >>> How many computers can I install on
I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
... and it could be that you have to use Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
Esp. if you want to install on a third computer, CC it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

Anyone in Apple if you see this message
These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Can I transfer files from a Mini running 10.4.11 to a new Mini running Lion? States I need to upgrade Migration Assistant, but I see no viable path I can take. OPtions to get photos over to new Mini?

Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

Can i use windows migration assistant to transfer files from my windows formatted external hard drive to my mac?

I have a windows formatted external hard drive and a macbook pro. I was wondering if i could use the windows migration assistant to transfer files from my external hard drive to the mac

No.
Just connect the drive to your Mac. The Mac can read most Windows formats (it cannot WRITE Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) formatted drives.

How to transfer files from an iMac without upgraded Migration Assistant to a new iMac that doesn't have a firewire port?

Hello.
I just purchased a new iMac. He's awesome. However, he didn't come with a Firewire port. (Bummer, because I have one from the last time (2007) I had to transfer stuff from my iBook...)
When I turned him on, he wanted to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from the older iMac; she doesn't have the most updated Migration Assistant, though. (She works just fine, but she only has Snow Leopard.)
Okay, so what I'm wondering is if I just have to use a huge external hardrive to move everything? If I do that, will my programs (Microsoft Office) move? I fear they won't move/transfer that way. Ugh.
PLEASE HELP.
Ideas? Advice?
Thank you in advance!

Firewire 800 (what the new iMac has) is 9 pin. FireWire 400 is 6 pin (what your old iMac has). Hopefully you didn't damage your new iMac by trying to insert a FW400 cable into its FW800 connector. The numbers are important in the case of the ports. They don't interchange!!! Get the proper cable or risk damaging your new iMac.

I can not start my apps and in my CC panel appears like I have never installed anything.

I was sorking this morning with my apps, and an update failed, and I got the blue screen. After that I was not able to start any of them, and it appears like I have never installed them. I am trying to reinstall and it is taking FOREVER.

if your adobe programs do not work, uninstall them, run the cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html), restart your computer and reinstall your adobe apps, https://creative.adobe.com/.
if your adobe programs work but the cc panel shows none are installed (so you cannot update), use solution 2 here, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html even though that problem is the opposite.

Bought iPhone 5S refurb from service provider 'as new'. After restore multiple Apple ID's are offered,1 of which belongs to me, the others have never been used on my phone. iCloud restore from backup is now permanently incomplete. Ideas?

There are several factors involved here, I shall explain them as best I can and will include all details, regardless of immediate relevancy:
In August of last year I purchased a new MBP15", and 2 months later I purchased an iPhone 5s refurb (unused) from my service provider (02), there were no issues connecting the two or with iCloud. Fast-forward several months to February I had a liquid spill on my laptop that rendered it unusable. After a month my insurance came through and I received a new laptop, and in order to successfully pair my replaced MBP with my 5S I performed a restore on my iPhone after backing up my data on iCloud.
When I turned on my iPhone after the restore, I was presented with the usual set-up process: wi-fi connection was completed without issue, as was enabling location services, entering my Apple ID and choosing my selected back-up.However, I was subsequently presented with an option to transfer purchases from an email address have never used and didn't recognise, so I declined. Immediately afterwards, a second Apple ID (again that I neither used nor recognised) popped up for the same reason, I declined, a third unknown Apple ID popped up, I declined again. After declining the three previous IDs, the old email address for my ID was presented to me, I entered my password to see what happened and it declined, saying 'the email is no longer valid.
After this, the restore continued, I finished setting up my iCloud with my correct ID. Since then (about a week ago) my iPhone has been unsuccessfully trying to 'restore from iCloud Backup', and every time I exit & re-enter a Wi-Fi zone I am presented with the same series of incorrect Apple ID's

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Help please, class starts yesterday, and I need to know if Lr 5.6 64 bit can be reset to "like new" or default. Like it's never been used!

Hello, I need to know if it is possible to reset Lr 5.6 64 bit to default or like it was when I first downloaded it. Clean/empty/fresh. As an online college student, and using Lr for a while now, without being "Detailed Oriented," and "Methodic", I have a very messy and unorganized workflow. I am about to begin Digital Image Management, so a "like new" Lr, would help me tremendously! Thanks in advance for any help offered!

Applications wont open after they have been opened once.

Hi. I have had this problem since i got the Mac Pro. Unless i open my applications as soon as i turn on the computer, i most likely will not be able to open them later. I also have a problem when after i have opened an application, i probably wont be able to open it again unless i restart. this happens with games and other programs like office for mac. anyone else having this problem and know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Your system sounds like you need to do more troubleshooting and maintenance.
Running Disk Utility to repair your drive and permissions. Check your drive's health and SMART status. Run Disk Warrior 4, too.
And clean out cache files and folders.
When I setup a drive, first thing I do is erase it with the zero-all option, then install and update.
Maybe you installed something that is interfering. Also, 2GB RAM helps.
Any 3rd party hardware like USB or anything?
More than 1GB RAM is essential, but you have something else, and need to provide more details probably. Also, run the Apple Hardware Test which is on Install Disk #1.
Take a look here at "resolving startup issues"
