Lightroom 4 on old computer, got a new one - LR 5?

Hello! So I bought LR 4.3 last year, and I never updated it. I just got a new PC laptop today, and can't figure out how to download the program again. LR4 is no longer available for download, so I have to get 5. I downloaded the trial version and when I went to enter the serial number that I found under my Adobe account, a red "X" appeared next to it. It would not accept the serial number. Is this because the number is for LR4 and not 5? So next I went on my old laptop and tried to update LR to the newest version of 5.3, thinking that I had to have it updated to the version I was attempting to download. It said that the version would only run on Windows 7 or higher and the laptop is Vista.  My catalog on my other laptop is empty, so I am not worried about photos and presets. I just want to download the new version. My new laptop is Windows 7. Can anyone help me here? And I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. If you could be specific that would be great as I am not good with computers. Thank you so much! It means a lot that you took the time to help me.

Lightroom 5 is a Full Upgrade from Lightroom 4, not an update.  You will have to by an UPGRADE copy if you want Lightroom 5.   If not, Lightroom 4 is available here.

  • Registeres ipod in old computer got a new one but it wont recognice ipod

    Hello, i had an old computer where i registeres my ipod, i have a new laptop now buti cant download any music to the ipod as i cannot register ipod in the new computer. I have been told that once you register your i pod with i tunes in a computer you cant use another one after. Surely that cannot be right? how can i tel my laptop that this is my ipod and i want new song downloaded to it? it does recognice it as a camera but not as an ipod. Thank you very much for your help.

    Start here.  It is normal for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera since that is how you get photos off the iPod.

    This is a fairly in-depth tutorial on moving from one computer to another.(I recommend Option 1)
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2009/02/28/how-do-i-move-lightroom-to-a- new-computer/
    Also, there's no need to find the original disk for installation.  Just download the latest update of your purchased version from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and user your original serial number.

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

    Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter.  ^_^
    P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

    Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
    The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
    Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
    If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
    The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
    You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
    You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
    You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
    If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
    You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
    iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
    After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
    In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

  • How do I move music to iTunes from an old computer to a new one?

    how do i import all my music from my old computer to my new one? I just loaded iTunes but can't get it to recognize all the music in my folder. It wants me to load songs one at a time and I am NOT going to do that with 44 GB of music.

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where your computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?

    I am trying to get my old library onto my new computer and the best way for me to do that is take them off of my I Phone 3gs and "transfer purchases" but when I try it the "authorize this computer " shows up and it is already authorized! So I still give my info, and it tells me this computer is already authorized and then does nothing. It keeps going on like that, it's a frustrating circle!

    Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?
    You can very easily.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTUnes folder from old computer to new computer.
