I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code.

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared. This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch." I purchased the entire season and had watched one show. It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5.
About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook. while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing.
Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass. After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available.
I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs. I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time. Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering.
Any ideas?

This may help

As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

How do i reconfigure my iphone from windows to mac?

I would like to reformat my iphone from windows to mac without loosing the music on my iphone. Is this possible? Or would I have to factory reset my phone?

There is no reformat necessary as such. An iPhone can only synchronize to a single computer, though, so when you connect your iPhone to the new computer, you'll be told that your iPhone is synched to a different computer and given the choice of erasing the content on the iPhone or transferring iTunes Store purchases to the new iTunes. The best approach is probably to copy the entire contents of the iTunes folder in your Windows system to your Mac. Then your iPhone should still think it's being synched to the same library and be fine. Someone here can point you to instructions on how to move your iTunes library if you need them.

Migrating Applications from Windows to Mac with new iPhone

My original first gen iPhone died a horrible death a few months ago. I had always synced it to my Windows laptop. I just recently acquired a new iPhone and want to sync it instead to my iMac. However, I have a dozen or so iPhone applications that I still want and I cannot figure out how to migrate the applications that are recognized by iTunes on my Windows machine and transfer them to my iMac. I even attempted to download an application I already purchased from my iMac, and I was charged the fee for the iPhone application instead of it just recognizing i had previously purchased the application.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

*2) restoring the ipod as a Mac device*
Connect the iPod to the Mac and restore it in iTunes. Restoring in iTunes for Mac will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes
*3) pointing iTunes to and external library.*

My CS products don't work after migrating them from an old mac to a new mac. Any ideas?

Help! I bought a new imac, and used the migration process to move everything from the old mac to the new mac. But now none of my CS products (eg Indesign) will work. I use CS5.5 and CS6. The CS6 says I can run "a trial version" - which is absurd, given that I have a legitimately bought version on disk (that cost over £1000!). The CS5.5. icon just bounces for a couple of times then closes before fully opening.
Adobe will not help, because they say CS6 is "an old product".
I am desperate - does anyone have any ideas?

Migration does not work with Adobe products. There are too many components in too many places, and they don't get copied properly.
You'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove what you copied:

Then download a fresh copy of CS6:

Migrating LR from Windows to Mac

I just got my new MacBook Pro, which I'm in the process of migrating to from my Windows desktop. My plan is to move my entire photo collection (originals) onto an external HDD along with my LR catalog and preview files. Then, I plan to install LR onto the Mac and point it at the existing catalogs from my Windows computer. Here's my problem- what is the best way to move the originals? Do I use a move function from within LR, or do I move the whole collection of originals, and then point LR to the new location and rebuild all of the connections?
My current file structure looks like this: My Pictures->Year->Month->Date->Edited (where Edited is my exported final draft with no XMP)
Thanks for the help on this.
Adam

John-
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean. I know what the .lrcat file is, but when would I double click? After a manual move of the originals?
I'm already sure that I want to work from the external vs. the MBP's internal. I may move small collections onto the internal at times if speed becomes an issue, but otherwise I plan to keep everything organized on the external.
Thanks again.
Adam

Migration issue from old crashed mac

I have an old mac 10.4 Tiger OS about 9 years old. It crashed and I cannot access anything on it. It boots up but the screen just shows fractured lines. So I just bought a new mac.
Want to know if there is a way to access the old data from my new mac. I have them hooked up with ethernet cable but migration asst is not accessing the old mac.
If anyone has a way around this I'd appreciate it.

Chances are your old Mac has a Firewire connection. If your new Mac has Firewire connect the two Macs with a Firewire cable. Then start up the new Mac. After it has started start the old Mac in Target Disk Mode by holding down the T key when you start it up. The old Mac will then appear on the desktop of your new Mac just like an attached hard disk. You can then copy files from the old to the new.
If your new Mac does not have Firewire chances are it has a Thunderbolt port. You'll need an adapter (or two) depending on the type of Firewire port is on the old Mac.

Transfer iPhone from PC to Mac without losing anything

I know this question has been asked dozens of times, but I just want to get an answer that I know will work for me.
When I got my first iPod I had to set it up on my family's computer as I didn't own a computer. Later on I got an iPhone, and while I had my Mac, I set it up with the family computer to keep my music.
I've been wanting to move my iPhone to my Mac for awhile, but all the guides I've found don't give me all the info I need. I want to keep my iPhone exactly as it is, so that when I connect it with my Mac it acts as if nothing is wrong. I've seen how to consolidate the iTunes library, but I'm confused about App Data. I want to keep all my scores on my games, and I haven't seen a straight answer on whether they will stay.
So is there a way to move my music, apps, photos, texts, data, app locations, play count, notes, contacts, etc. to a new computer? If so is there an online guide that outlines the best way to do this? Is it as easy as following this guide? [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751[/url]
My PC is running XP and my MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance!

Basically you need to move the Entire iTunes Library from the PC to the Mac...
