I want to transfer my iPhoto pics to my new computer, but how?
I have an old dome based iMac running tiger. I want to transfer data to my newer duo core iMac. I bought a USB 32 gb storage device by lexor to load data from my old and put it on my new. When I plug the device into the USB port I see nothing to indicate it is present. How do you use on of these things? No instructions were included.
On the package the new USB flash drive came in, is there any indication of
which Mac OS X version is supported by the portable storage device?
The latest USB flash drive, such as the Lexar 32GB, is USB3.0 speed
and likely is not backward compatible to USB1.1. So try something less
ambitious for use with the ancient PowerPC iMac G4.
Could be that one is not supported, and since the old iMac may have only
USB1.1 speed ports, to attempt to fill the capacity at that speed would be
super slow. A faster method, if you had correct cabling and know-how,
would be to use FireWire. This may require an adapter for the new Mac
since some of them do not have FireWire ports; so it may require a FW
to Thunderbolt adapter between computers so the files can be moved.
(With that, it may be possible to boot the old iMac PPC in Target Disk Mode,
and move --drag/drop-- folders of images from the old iMac hard drive to
a location, perhaps a folder, on the desktop of the new Mac.)
If you weren't dealing with desktop computers, the Apple Store could have
helped transfer your files from the old to new computer. There is a setup
or migration assistant that can help.
Do you have an externally enclosed hard disk drive already in use w/ old Mac?
To use smaller capacity USB flash drives of compatible specs may work OK
but could still take quite a bit of time to move to/from the chip between Macs.
Is the PowerPC iMac actually running Tiger 10.4.1, or is that 10.4.11?
A difference would mean later driver support, maybe.
Good luck & happy computing!

i connected my new iphone 4 to itunes before backing up my old one but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help
Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off. -
I have an old Mad with OS X 10.6.8. I just got a new MacBook Air. I want to transfer my Office 2011 to the new computer. I have the product ID number. How do I do this?
You may get a dialog box indicating you need to contact Microsoft to activate it if you've used up all your activations (2 for the professional version or 3 for the home/student version). Don't worry - you won't be hassled, just explain that you just bought a new computer and you are transfering the license.

How do i transfer existing iphoto albums to a new computer
how do i transfer existing iphoto albums to a new computer?
thanksAre you asking about transfering iPhoto Libraries from one Mac to another Mac? Or about transferring iPhoto albums from an IOS device to a computer? And what is your iPhoto version?
If you are talking about your Mac, simply transfer the iPhoto Library to the new computer. You can copy it using the network, by copying to a portable disk, or by connecting your old mac to the new mac in target disk mode. After copying the iPhoto Library to your Home folder on the new mac, double click it to open it in iPhoto and to point iPhoto to it.
If you are asking about transfering albums from an IOS device; the albums you create on your IOS device are not synced back to your computer. You share the photos by adding them to the Photo Stream, creating shared Photo streams, sending them by email, or publishing web journals.

Want to transfer music from ipod touch4 to new computer windows 8.1 itunes
Had to buy a new computer, and i want to transfer 1600 songs from ipod touch 4 to new windows 8.1 computer. I really dont want to use a third party software to do this, even if there is a way to transfer to windows media player. Any suggestion will be helpful, dont want to sit here and load up all my cd's again.
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one. -
I want to transfer Acrobat Pro 9 to a new computer
Acrobat 9 Pro is installed on a Windows 7 (32-bit) laptop. The laptop is being replaced with a Windows 7 (64-bit) machine. How do I transfer the existing software to the new hardware?
You deactivate on the old machine and then reinstall on the new machine. With Win 7, 64-bit, you will need to be sure you apply the updates.

I want to download logic pro x on a new computer. How?
This is so basic, I can't find the answer. I bought logic pro this summer and want to download it on a new computer. Where is the link to do that?
Log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it, click on the Purchases tab, and download it from there.

I have backed up my iphone 3gs to i cloud as i want to restore to my iphone 5 the main item i want to keep is my text messages but it has not backed these up i have gone into settings on my iphone 3gs and into manage storage but there is no option to select to backup messages
Marcus.
I feel your pain.
I have experienced the exact thing. restore from itunes OR iCloud has successfully restored all my settings, EXCEPT EVERY-SINGLE-MSG. lol. Nothing. Even repeated it., no luck .
It seems to be a hit or miss.
I've read people from 3GS-i5, 4s-i5, not having the issue....meanwhile, you and I are lucky enough to have experienced it. Oh and also it's not across the board. Some people only lost certain SMS which weren't in their contacts...how odd? -
I want to transfer my photoshop elements to a new computer ...
since the old one died and while I have all the original packaging, I evidently do not have the serial number because non of the other numbers listed work on the new computer. Can someone help with that
If you registered the software when you originally installed it the serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online.
To locate the serial number:

How can I add music from my ipod to my new computer. My old computer has died but the music is still on my ipod.
Depending on the definition of "died" you (or a helpful friend) may be able to extract the hard drive from the damaged computer, put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I want to install Photoshop elements 11 onto a new computer but have lost my activation code
I have a new pc and want to install my photoshop elemets onto it but have lost my activation code. Tried searching on Adobe, but I did not register the product. How can I retrieve it?
You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Windows 7, FF 10.0.2. (The old computer was probably like XP and a very old version of FF...)
All good ideas!! However, here's another twist. There are actually TWO old computers--my old personal laptop and my old work computer--different sets of bookmarks. And no, I don't have access to either computer anymore.
However, it sounds like I can do two iterations of AliceW's suggestion--i.e., Export my current bookmarks, restore first old computer bookmarks, export restored bookmarks, restore second old computer bookmarks, then reimport both created sets to merge into a new super bookmarks. Is that correct?
I think I'll go take a walk in the park first to clear my head... then I'll come back and try it. It sounds quite easy in principle.
Thanks to all!!! I'll let you know how it goes! :) -
