If i change the harddisk on my computer, do i need to reactivate my photoshop? I copied 1:1 all files from my old drive to a new bigger drive. Keeping all as is.

Do i need to reactivate the photoshop installation? Keep everything as is now. Just changed to a bigger drive .. And a faster one. From a real hdd to a ssd.

yes, and you shouldn't copy/migrate your adobe adobe programs.
properly install them (using the installation files) and activate with your serial number or adobe id after deactivating on your old hd.

  • What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

    I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
    iMac Intel DuoCore   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
    1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
    2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
    I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
    I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
    There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

  • Whats the easiest way to transport large files from my old laptop to my new ipad?

    Note: you need a fast internet connection

  • I am trying to use migration assistant to transfer my files from my old Macbook to my new Macbook Pro, but it keeps messing up after I enter the passcode. Help?

    I have already updated my Migration Assistant program and changed my FireWall settings to allow all incoming connections, but Migration Assistant still isn't working. I get all the way to the passcode verification step, and then it stops working. On my new computer, a message pops up saying that it could not connect to my old computer. On my old computer, I can enter the passcode, but then the little spinny beachball shows up and then Migration Assistant loses its connection and begins to "look for other computers." How do I fix this? My old computer is operating on Leopard and my new computer is operating on Mountain Lion.

    You can do it wirelessly, but that will take some time... you could also purchase a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. That would certainly be faster. You should be able to purchase either adapter at your local Apple Store or at the online Apple Store.
    Good luck,

  • What's the easiest way to transfer files from an old Mac to a new one?

    Alright, when I originally purchased my Macbook Pro in 2006 - I had no intentions on replacing for many, many years to come. However, purchased the 17", to have more screen space for design, and that career sort of fell through. I don't have a need for such a large display, and it gets very heavy when carrying it around. I've recently decided to opt for the 13" Macbook. Now my question is, what is the easiest, fastest, and safest was to transfer the files that I do want, from the old to the new? I considered buying an external hard-drive? And for that matter, once I do get everything transferred - does Mac offer anything where I can basically set the old on back to factory defaults?
    Help is much appreciated.

    In addition..........
    If you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) or any IM that has file transfers.
    iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=150934
    Adium has file transfers.
    Yahoo Messenger has file transfers.
    Both computers must use the same IM program for file transfers.

    Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.

  • Changing the screen name or computer name.

    when i installed leopard and it asked for information on the computer name i put the wrong information. how do i change the computer name. i looked in accounts under system prefences and i changed the name there but in finder under places where there is the home button it is the old one. how do i completely change all of it to the new one.
    thanks

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, unlock the padlock, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change it. If you change the home directory's path, you also need to move its contents in the Finder.

  • Is it possible to change the name of a computer in itunes? And if so, how?

    I got a new computer and am giving the old one to my sister... but on our home sharing network it shows as the name I had for it.
    So basically if my device (computer) is called pizza... how do I get it named hotdog? I was able to change all other device names like iphone, ipods etc and just want to do the same for the actual computer itself...

    I don't think you can change the name of your computer but you can change the name of your itunes library.
    iTunes Preference, General Overtype the Name in the Library Name Box,
    Then your iTunes library will show the new name

  • How do you change the name on your computer

    How do i change the name of my computer it was my friends now its mine how do i change there name to my name

    Here is the information I had found, however I have never had to try. You will have the passowrd too, so the above will help for that.
    For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
    Enable the root user.
    Log in as root.
    Navigate to the /Users folder.
    Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
    Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
    Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
    After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
    Disable the root user.
    Hope this helps you

    I have changed the motherboard of my computer, PSE 10 tells me it is installed on 2 computers, and asks me to deactivate on one of my computers. But this is just impossible, I only have ONE computer, and the old motherboard is dead.
    I had an online chat with the technical support, the guy gave me another activation number, but now PS tells me that "activation number is not vvalid for my product". And the guy just left me there without helping.    
    All this is completely creazy, please help !

    Sorry you had a bad experience with support, but the fact remains that only Adobe customer support can resolve activation issues.  Nothing to do but try again.
