Migrating from pc to mac with lightroom

I have Lightroom installed on two pc's. I want to de-register on one pc and re-register on a macbook pro. Any advice on how to do this?
thanks
Geoff

No. Uninstalling on the PC won't help. What message are you getting?
Are you sure that you're using the serial number that came with that version of LR? What version of LR is it?
Probably a silly question, but are you sure you're using one and zero keys and not ohs and ells?
Mac installs seem to work better if you download from Adobe's site rather than use the CD. That also gets you the most up-to-date versions.

Migrating from PC to Mac with Ipod

We have an ipod that is set up to be used with Windows and now have a Mac. Is it possible to transfer the itunes library from PC to Mac? Just to make things more complicated the ipod also has lots of albums on it which were deleted on the PC so that they are just on the ipod and not in itunes. What would be the best way if any to transfer everything to the Mac and set up the ipod to use with the Mac?

You can move you entire library as you see it on the PC using your iPod or external drive to your Mac. The following is an article from the Apple support page. It is easy to follow.

Migrate a catalog from Windows to Mac with Lightroom 3?

Hi there.
So here's what I've got: Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows and Lightroom 1.4 installed on the same PC. I am in the process of migrating to Mac. If I upgrade from Lightroom 1.4 to 3, which as I understand is a cross-platform license, will I be able to move my catalog with me?
I am a bit of a Mac newbie, so I'm not sure if there is equal functionality between the Mac and Windows versions of Lightroom. Clearly there is a big functionality gap the on the PSE side (no Organizer on PSE for Mac).
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

They're pretty much functionally the same, but no DVD burning on 64 bit Win.
PSE Mac has a version of Bridge rather than Organiser. I'd do the catalog import on Win first, before moving it all over to Mac, as in import your PSE catalog in Lightroom. (It's not foolproof, I believe stuff gets lost-there's not full compatibility).
PSE is not cross platform, so you'll need to contact Adobe to make the switch.

Migrate from PC to Mac, organise Lightroom files

My Lightroom and photo files are a mess. It is time to get them sorted out, not least because I have a new Mac and need to transition from a Windows 7 PC. I have about 12k raw photo files and a fair amount of external hard drive space. I am looking for specific instructions on how to migrate all my files and retach them once moved. The Mac only has 250 GB's so I thought it would be best to consolidate all the files on an external first and then get rid of as many photos as possible, and then transfer the rationized inventory of photos to the Mac. If you can recommend articles that would help with this process it would be greatly appreciated. (Surely I am not the only one with these challenges). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Peter.

The "re-organization" and the move to the Mac should be considered two separate and distinct operations. Do NOT try to combine these into one operation. You can do them in either order. Let me be redundant. Do NOT try to combine these into one operation.
Here's how you move your Lightroom files (catalog and photos) to another computer: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

I Photo will not update after migrating from old I-Mac to new I-Mac with fusion drive

I just migrated from 2009 I-Mac with Mountain Lion to New I-Mac with Mountain Lion with migration Assistant. Now... I tunes will not update although Apple says one is available

a couple of things - you should not "migrate" applications - you should use the new ones that come preinstalled - what version of of iPhoto do you have on your new mac?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

I have a macbook 2.1 with osx10.6.8 and want to wipe it clean and migrate from my macbook pro with the same osx..is it possible to do?

I have an older macbook 2.1 intel OSX 10.6.8 that I want to wipe clean and then migrate from my macbbok pro with OSX10.6.8 to the older macbook, is it possible ,how would I do it..especially how do I wipe clean the older macbook?

Connecting to a TV is no different than connecting to any other external display. It's possible that there's a problem with the mini dvi port on the macbook r that you have bad adapters. You might try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Does the Macbook recognize that there's an external display connected when you look at the Display preference pane?

Just got a new imac and my iwork software wont work. I have the serial numbers but after migrating from my old mac running OSX tiger it won't even give me that opportunity. I do not have any discs as this was downloaded. Help

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,
-Evan

When migrating from PC to Mac is it necessary to restore iPad to factory settings?

Hi everyone!
I recently decided to migrate from PC to Mac. Everything is amazingly easy now. I have already migrated my iTunes Library with no hassle and I am very pleased with my decision. I had no problem either with my iPhone nor my iPod but with my iPad, thats a different story.
I just have one unsolved problem relative to the backup that iTunes performs each time I sync it with my Mac. It takes hours and somewhere near the end iTunes tells me it was not possible to backup. So if I want to sync I must skip the backup process but I know that's too risky. I can't even upgrade the iOS on my iPad because of the backup issue.
I have read in some other forums that maybe this is because when I bought my iPad it was formatted to sync with PC and restoring factory settings would solve the problem.
Is there any other way to solve this? Because I have a lot of information that comes from inApp dowloads and I would like to skip long hours of re-downloading my content.
Thanks!

There is no Windoze and OS X formatting with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
The problem is with your existing backup.
At the iTunes menu bar go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab select and delete the existing iPad backup.
Control-click on your iPad under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup.

When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
These are the preferred network connections, in order:
Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

Migration from 350 G4 Mac

I have just gotten a new MacBook Pro and I need to migrate from my previous Mac. I have a 350MHz G4 Mac running 10.3.9. It has firewire but when I reboot holding down the T key (as instructed by the migration assistant) it just boots normally. When I look for rebooting as a target disk it doesn't give me that option. What am I missing? Or is it just that my old Mac is just a dinosaur? What are my options?
Thanks

Start with Best Practices If the G4 won't go into TDM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 for details), then use Disk Utility, restore it to an external FireWire HD, and use it instead.

Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

If the filename starts with a dot (.thisfile), then it will be hidden on the Mac.
You can use a 3rd party App, such as EasyFind to search for the file on your Mac, and then re-name (remove the dot)

I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X. The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case.
Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar: Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while.
Good luck.

Yes. You are only Copying the Data not moving it.

PSE12: How do I migrate from Windows to Mac

I bought
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
and
Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
for my daughter.
She has migrated from PC to Mac. How can I get the Mac versions of these softs?
From my downloading, I can only see Windows installers (exe and 7z files)

Contact Adobe to see if this is possible. There is no guarantee that any software is portable, and I feel the student edition may not be, but Adobe will have the final say.

How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?

How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?

what method are you using? Firewire, ethernet, wireless? I'm assuming you are doing this via Migration Assistant. You can't speed it up if it is in process, but you can use a faster method if available to you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
