Moving BC via Winclone to a new computer....

Question regarding moving/installing a bc partition to a new computer. I have a backup via winclone of my MBPro windows setup that I would like to install on my new Imac. I understand a different driver setup will be needed via the create a driver disk etc.
However, I am unsure if this will work moving to a new computer. Has anyone done this and if so, what is the process? Simply restore like you would with a HD upgrade and then load new drivers???

Moving Windows XP from computer to computer is fairly easy using PC's. I just clone the drive, then boot up with the install media and perform a "repair install". It is like an upgrade, except that all it does is remove the hardware from the device manager, and re-detect it. I've never tried this under BootCamp, but it seems to me that you might be able to make it work if you follow the WinClone restore procedures, then after it is done, boot to your XP install and run the repair install process. Another thing you might want to do is to uninstall your existing BootCamp drivers under windows before you make the move. Following that, the install on the new machine might go a little cleaner...

I moved Creative Suite 5 to a new computer, deactivated on the old, activated on the new, but only Illustrator and Photoshop will open. The rest of the suite will not open. How do I fix this?

I moved Creative Suite 5 from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Air and followed the instructions for deactivating on the old and activating on the new but only Photoshop and Illustrator will work. I need to also access InDesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Is there a way to fix this? Problem with the MacBook Air is that is doesn't have a disc drive so I had to transfer via external hard drive.
Cheers.

The problem is that you need to install CS5 from an installation file or installation disc. You can't just copy files because there are lots of supplementary files that don't get put in the right location.
You'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner to remove all the stuff on your new computer:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download an installer for CS5:

HT1329 Moving movies and tv shows to new computer.

If I move my iTunes library to another computer using my iPod in disk mode, will it move my movies and tv shows as well? Any help would be appreciated.

They should be under the same iTunes folder as your music, in 'TV Shows' and 'Movies' sub-folders - you can find the exact location by doing 'get-info' (control-I) on one of them and the file location should be shown on the bottom of the Summary tab, or just right-click on a film or tv show and select 'Show In Windows Explorer' from the pop-up.
You can then copy them to a CD, DVD, flash drive or external drive and copy them onto your new computer and into iTunes (films and TV shows can be copied to a DVD for backup purposes but you won't be able to play them in a normal DVD player). If you have a wifi network in your house you might also be able to copy them via home sharing over your network (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527), but depending on how many films and tv shows there are it might be quicker via a disk or external/flash drive.

Need help moving photoshop 7.0.1 to new computer

I hope everyone is doing well. I also hope someone can help me out. I need to move/load Photoshop 7.0.1 onto a different computer - o/s Windows XP Professional v.2002. We are a small company with no IT department and the original CDs and product keys/proof of purchase are lonnnnnnnnng gone. Upgrading is not an option at this time, the powers that be will most likely tell me to do my photoshop work on the laptop, but I want everything at my fingertips at my desk. Too much to ask? Apparently it is because I cannot figure out how to load onto my desktop.
I've read, in several places, that Adobe allows the user to download the software to two computers, but I don't know if its ever been loaded elsewhere and when I moved the file from my laptop to our rustic server - didn't work. Then I tried copying everything to a memory stick and moving it to my new computer BUT there is no .exe file when I do this. I can't make it run. And never did I receive an messages that scream - hey you, you can't load this on more than two computers.
I called Adobe and they informed me that they no longer support this version over the phone and that I should check out the forums. Unfortunately, I cannot find the info I need on the forum. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology in my search - I have tried several variations...loading, moving, reinstalling....and come up empty. Actually, come up with lots of stuff (from years ago) that doesn't help. In one post I thought could be the holy grail, there was a link that bottomed out - took me nowhere.
I don't what else to do, I don't know what the google anymore. I'm hopeful someone has an answer other than an upgrade. Thanks.

Note that I am assuming you're properly licensed to be able to run the app on your new computer. I do not propose doing anything illegal.
With the ollld versions of Photoshop, like the one you have, you can try going through a process like this:
1. Copy the entire c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0 folder to the new computer.
2. Try to run Photoshop on the new computer.
3. Note any "missing DLL" message.
4. Locate the DLL on the old computer (e.g., in C:\Windows\System32 or wherever), and copy it to the same place on the new computer.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until no more "missing DLL" messages present themselves.
There may be other types of messages you'll see. They're usually descriptive enough to be able to determine what it's looking for that it does not have. If you get one you're unsure of how to handle, post it here.

Advice for moving to, and updating Aperture on, new computer?

I am moving to a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, from a 6-year-old MacBook Pro. I'm looking for tips to make the transition smoother.
I will be upgrading to the newest version of Aperture. I currently have Aperture 3.4.5. Everything is all on my laptop. The Aperture file is 938 MB, and is SLOW! It's barely usable as it is.
I will be using TimeCapsule to transfer files. My current OS is 10.7.5.
Should I update Aperture before I move it? Should I move it, and then update it? Should I (somehow!) "disconnect" the files from the program and then reconnect them after they are transferred?
I'd like to make this transition as painless as possible!
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

1. You can't update Aperture past 3.4.5 from 10.8.5 or earlier. You need to move it and then perform the update.
2. See #1.
3. No. Just keep a backup of them.
4. If you got Aperture from a DVD and the new computer's running Yosemite, you'll probably need to contact Apple to perform the update.

HT4527 Pb with Home share moving music and playlist transfers to new computer

I am trying to move my music library and playlists from my old computer (which I want to get rid of once I get my files transfered) to my new computer. After searching and reading, it seemed Home Sharing would be easiest method. I shared my library between my old and new computer. The help screen indicated you had to then save the shared list to the new computer if you want to deactivate the sharing feature (and not use other computer).
When I tried to copy music I'd shared onto new computer, it appears to work until I go to play the music on the computer. Then all the songs cut off about a minute from the end. How do I fix this problem?
Playlists: With the playlists, I followed the directions and exported my playlists to a memory stick and then imported them onto the new computer via itunes. The playlists all show up, but when I play music from the playlist it only plays the first 15 seconds of the song and then moves onto the next song. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks for any insight, directions anyone can share. I have a PC with Windows 7

With a Mac, you'd connect the iPhone to the Mac using the USB cable and then launch iPhoto or whatever other photo/movie application you like, and then import the videos from the phone. You should be able to do the same with your PC; use whatever video importer you like, it should treat the iPhone like any other camera.
You can also use this iOS app, but it will only work pictures and with fairly short videos.

Moving iTunes from external drive to new computer

I have my itunes stored on an external drive lettered "E". How can I move them to my new computer. The external drive letter "E" is not available on the new computer but the hard drive is plenty large enough to hold my whole collection and I would like to install them on it. I have already copied my itunes music folder and libraries to the new computer.
Thanks for any input.

This did not work. I signed into the iTunes store as the same user and I can still not play the music I purchased or the music I am authorized to play that others purchased. Can anyone help out with this question?

Moving ACROBAT X PRO to a new computer

I'm trying to move my ACROBAT X PRO from my old Windows XP laptop to my new Windows 8.1 laptop, but the registration screen states 'This serial number is not valid for this product'. (I'm using the same installer originally provided when I purchased the software.)
I've even tried deactivating ACROBAT on my old computer, but the HELP menu does not have a DEACTIVATE option.
Can anyone assist?
Regards
midders

Hi jerry8955,
The reason of Activate/Deactivate option being missing under Help menu could be that Acrobat might not have activated correctly on your machine.
So, please try uninstalling Acrobat from Control Panel and then install & activate on the new computer drive.
Refer: Activation & deactivation help
Acrobat should activate properly, else you can Contact Customer Care for the same.
Let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer

Hello,
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
1. New Copy
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml.

Moving the organizer catalog to a new computer

I am upgrading from Photoshop Elements 9 to version 12 and loading it onto a new computer running Windows 8.2. To move the Organizer Catalog I have tried several time to create a backup on an external hard drive from version 9 so i can restore it on the new computer with the upgraded software. Each time i run the backup the process stops and displays an error message "Error encountered while writing files". This occurs when the process is approximately 75% complete. There are 12,326 items in the catalog, the estimated "media size" needed it 142,891.30 MB, i have 339 GB of free space on the external hard drive. Any recommendations on how to proceed?

Hi,
Please try repairing and optimizing your catalog before taking backup.
You can do this by:
File > Manage Catalogs and click on Repair and Optimize buttons
Thanks,

Moving library from external HD to new computer

I currently use iPhoto 5.0.4 on my iBook. The entire library has been backed up onto an external hard drive. I intend to get a new computer (probably an iMac) soon, and I will want to move the entire library onto the new computer, either from the external HD or the iBook itself.
Since the new computer's library will be empty, is it possible to just copy the existing "iPhoto Library" folder onto the new computer in the Pictures folder? (I'm assuming there's a Pictures folder.) Will iPhoto '09 handle/convert it as necessary or will there be a follow-up step? Do I also need to copy the com.apple.iphoto.plist file?
If the answer to the first question is no, what do I need to do to maintain the integrity of the library as it's set up? I am aware film rolls will be converted to Events, but don't know if the film rolls will stay in place if I simply use an import command to bring in the entire library.

Since the new computer's library will be empty, is it possible to just copy the existing "iPhoto Library" folder onto the new computer in the Pictures folder?
Yes. That's the recommended method. When iPhoto is launched it will look in the Pictures folder, open and convert the library to the new format. Just be sure to have a backup copy of the older library version just in case.
If you have any film rolls that are identified by Roll #xx they will be converted to an event with the illuminating titled of "untitled event". So if you get the chance, rename those rolls to a description that will describe the contents so the new events will have the same name.

Moving movies from old iphone to new computer

My old pc has died and I havew purchased new one and in process of synching my iphone up to it.
My iphone has about 25 home movies on it (not taken with iphone) that were synched up to old computer that I no longer have access to.
These movies appear in itunes in under films when i explore iphone - how do i get these movies copied on to my new computer as there does not seem to be a copy option?
I have music in itunes on new computer and have transferred purchases/apps etc and contacts backed up but worried that i will lose these movies if i proceed to sync...
Help would be much appreciated....
