Issue with Migration to New Mac from Old Mac

I deactivated photoshop CS3 on my old mac, and I'm trying to get it over to my new mac via firewire but I'm getting this error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and the reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. What can I do?

Any Adobe Product must—beside deactivation and uninstalling from your old computer—be installed with the original Adobe installer and the appropriate serial number.
Never use the program migration tools of Mac OS to migrate any Adobe software, it will not work.
I suspect that CS3 is compatible with your computer, you will have to update to a current version of your program.

Call Apple and make a appointment.

Migrate to new iMac from old iMac and am getting 'incompatible software' message.

Im trying to migrate to new iMac from old iMac and am getting 'incompatible software' message. I'm not sure what to do- can I revert back to snow leopard from mavericks?

Hi Mark,
If you install Mavericks, or in your case migrate from an old computer running Snow Leopard (or an earlier version of Mac OS X) to one using Mavericks, some of your software that was designed to run on older computers may not function in the new OS. See this article -
OS X: About the incompatible software folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258
In particular -
If you see a message indicating that you can't use "this version" of an app, contact the software's vendor or visit their website to see if a later, compatible version of the app is available. If you purchased the software from the Mac App Store, use Software Update to see if an updated version is available there.
and
During installation, OS X moves known-incompatible software to a folder named "Incompatible Software" at the top level of the startup drive. If this folder is present on your Mac, see what applications are in it, then check for available updates. To obtain a newer version of an Apple app, check the Mac App Store, or visit the Apple Store website.
Regarding installing an older operating system on your new iMac, Apple does not support doing this, as described in this article -
Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Migration to new IMAC from old IMAC with a Backup Drive

I purchased an new IMAC and have an old IMAC and have migrated all of my stuff from old to new, except I have a external backup drive on the old IMAC and did not migrate it. I thought that I would migrate by attaching it to the new but do not have the right cables. Can I connect the backup drive to the old with the firewire that I have and connect the old IMAC to the new one with the cables that I used, or do I have to buy the right connector to connect the backup to the new IMAC.
Thanks

Migrating Creative Suite 4 from old Mac to new Mac: how?

Hi_
I just got a new Macbook Pro and used Migration Assistant to xfer all my stuff on the old Macbook Pro to the new one.
Now my Adobe Creative Suite 4 won't work on the new Mac.
How do I get the software to work on the new Mac?
Thanks,
Mark

Adobe software needs to be iinstalled, migrating between machines doesn't usually work. Uninstall it from the new machine if possible and reinstall using installation files. You can download CS4 installation files thru the following page:

How do I migrate my albums from old mac to my new macbook?

How do I migrate my albums from old mac to my new macbook? The photos are already migrated, but I've lost all the old groupings in the albums and I don't want to manually re-group the thousands of photos!!!

I was using version 6.0.6 of iPhoto.
My issue is that I already have sorted the photos into Albums - about 50 of them. And now on my new computer I can't see any of the albums I had sorted them into, and I don't want to have to recreate all those Albums! That was one of the primary reasons I stuck with Apple when I upgraded. Had I known it wouldn't bring the albums over, I probably wouldn't have bought another apple.
Is there any way to get all the work I've already done in organising my photos onto my new computer? Thanks for your help.

New directory after Migration (/var (from old Mac)

I just set up a new Macbook Pro, and used the Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my old system. Everything went fine and looks good. However, I'm seeing a top level directory on the new HD:
/var (from old Mac)
I assume it's a copy of the /var directory from the old MBP. My question is - can I safely remove it? It's taking up almost 4gb of space (sure on a 500gb hd that's not much, but if I don't need it...)

A A P L wrote:
My (hidden) /var is 4+GB and that's normal.
it depends on how big your swap files get and on whether or not you are using safe sleep which tends to create large sleep image files. so for a laptop 4GB /var might be normal. on my mac pro it's around 600MB as I almost never run out of RAM to need swap files and and I don't use safe sleep. another reason it might get too big if you have a runaway log and /var/log grows too much. there is nothing else in /var that should take a lot of space.
But I agree, I would not delete it in case it's just "visible"
OP: IN the Finder, hit Command-Shift-G.
Type: /private
Get info on the var folder there.
Is it the same as the visible one?
Or, you can Control-click on the Title-bar of the var folder window. The path with show in the drop-down. What does it show?

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. Apps won't launch. Help?

Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. I get an error when I try to launch a program on the new computer (150:30). After contacting live chat about the issue and providing all serial numbers etc. I was directed to a download. The download was a .dmg file that my computer did not recognize. It was suggested that I ask the experts on the forum how to resolve the issue. I have all the discs and serial numbers but the new macbook pro doesn't take discs (I guess they think all apps are downloadable now). Any ideas?

Hmm... I don't know why they sent you here... CS4 is not part of the Cloud
I have some download links for earlier versions of Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements, but not CS4 Web
My best idea is to take a LARGE USB memory stick to a friend with a DVD drive and copy your DVD over to the USB memory stick
Or, ask in the forum for your program(s) to find out if anyone has CS4 download links

Moving Library from old mac to new

I just bought a new IMac and want to move my IPhoto library to the new Mac. Old mac is running IPhoto 7, New one has 8.0. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on how to do this. I need to keep my Keywords. Tried to start Migration Assistant but after 20 minutes spinning it's wheels "calculating size" I gave up.
Is there an easy answer to this?

John,
iLife '08 contains iPhoto '08, which is the name for iPhoto version 7, which should now be updated to 7.0.2. The previous version is iPhoto 6, from iLife '06, which has the highest update at 6.0.6. Is that clear as mud?
To move your library, copy the entire iPhoto Library folder as an entity to the Pictures folder of your new Mac. Then follow Old Toad's BatChmod fix to correct any permissions problems that may arise from the move:
"...download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrative name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field."
If that is the only library in your Pictures folder, then launch iPhoto and it should tell you it needs to upgrade your library to work with the new version. iPhoto will take care of the upgrade from there, and when it's done your library will be converted and opened in all its new v7 glory. If you already have a library in your new Mac, be sure to give the old library a distinct name before you copy it over to avoid overwriting the new one. Hold down the Option key while launching and you can choose which library you want to open. To merge libraries, you can use iPhoto Library Manager.
Regards.

HT3258 after transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

Migration Assistant (from old mac)

Hello all,
I just migrated my old data to my new Macbook Pro (from a Macbook) and I have noticed in the Macintosh HD there are some additional folders. Kind of duplicates. These folders are:
Developer (from old mac)
opt (from old mac)
home (from old mac)
backup (from old mac)
I know these are from the migration I did. But I am not sure how my current system uses them. Some are in fact empty (except the Developer and opt) But my question is can I delete these without causes any issues? Or is it best to just leave them alone.
Any suggestions, thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
As long as they are marked from old Mac you can safely delete them.
The best time to migrate is when you first boot your new Mac, if you migrate at a later date you can get duplication, or even a new Home folder.

How to move photoshop from old mac to new mac?

how to move photoshop from old mac book air to new mac book pro retina display (no disc drive)?

It can be possible to use the Migration Assistant, but you must take into account that any recent Photoshop requires activation with a server account, like Apple iTunes does for purchases. To avoid potential problems, you want to make sure that you deactivate any software (like iTunes or Photoshop) that you have installed from any company that requires activation, and then reactivate them after you migrate. Otherwise it is possible that any software you activated might stop working if it notices that the underlying hardware has changed.
Also, you only get 2 activations of Photoshop and 5 of iTunes, so you don't want to lose any because you forgot to deactivate before getting rid of the old Mac.
Migration Assitant is not perfect, so the most reliable way to migrate is to deactivate Photoshop before migrating and then run a clean installation of it after migration using your original media and serial number.
