I need to transfer CS4 from my old MacBook to my new one, but get error 150:30.
Have the discs, have the serial number, have the programs transferred to my external drive and even installed on the new Mac, but when I double-click to open any of the programs, I get error code 150:30 and cannot get the program open. What I'd like is to talk to someone at Adobe, or just to have my paid-for programs work on my new machine. I rely on them for my design business...help!
I should have been more clear that the very brand new computer is the drive-free MacBook Pro which doesn't allow me to just pop in the discs…I think I might have thought of that!
And actually, I just about to come back and report. Somewhere in all of my reading I saw that someone mentioned that when the CS4 folder is moved to the external drive (or other computer, however you're trying to do it), for whatever reason (bug? deliberate?) it leaves behind that one key FLEXNet Publisher folder that is an integral part of Adobe's "restore your license" process. So I did a search for that folder in my old MacBook's library, found it, copied it separately, then put it into the same folder on the new MacBook, restarted, and BAM! All of my CS4 started working without my even having to go through that Adobe process.
So, problem solved…hope this helps someone else who finds themselves in this position at this late date in the CS4 lifespan...

I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.
"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download. -
I had all the data from my old one to my new one, and now I can't find pages on my new macbook air... any suggestions?
Anything purchased from the Mac App Store will appear under "Purchased". Download it. You don't have to pay for it again.
If you purchased iWork on disc, copy it from the old MacBook. -

I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone
I need to transfer data from my old iphone to my new iphone and I cannot turn off Find my iphone as my icloud password is incorrect. I have reset this several times and also cleared cookies history etc. none of the above makes a difference. Any ideas?
The ONLY thing you can do to turn off Find My iPhone is to have the correct password. There is no way around it. You can get help with the password: If you forgot your Apple ID password
If none of those methods are possible: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security -

Everything you need to know, right here. Make sure you read through it BEFORE you turn on the new Mac for the first time. This is because the preferred means is using Setup Assistant, which is only available form the first boot.

There is no need to "buy" appliclations again. You can backup your old phone to iCloud and restore the backup to the new phone. You can also re-download them for free from the App Store.

i have an ether net cable will this help?I've used Migration Assistant in the past and it's working like a champ. You either want to connect your MBPs using a Firewire cable or have them connected to the same router with Ethernet cabling. Don't attempt a wifi transfer - it could take a whole day.
Both links provided are good - they both point to various ways to transfer data. I just prefer MA.

Started the transfer process from my old MacBook to a new MacBook pro using Migration assistant 12 hours ago. The screen says transferring your information. Moving about 270 GB using an Ethernet cable directly connected. Is this normal?
You can get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter. You can then get a firewire 400 to 800 cable and put the old computer in target mode. Then you can follow these instructions.

Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, & restoring your new phone from the backup of your old phone, as described here, will restore these photos to your new phone:
