Moving lightroom 5.4 from win 7 pc to imac

Hi I have a new iMac and want to move lightroom 5.4 from an old win 7 laptop to the iMac. I can't find an option to reactive lightroom on the laptop. Can i just uninstall from laptop and re install on iMac then use the same serial number?

There is no deactivation. Yes, you can use the same serial number on the Mac.

Edits lost moving lightroom 3.6 from Windows XP to Windows 7

We recently upgraded my wife's PC from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I installed Lightroom 3.6, none of the photos could be found since they were on drive E: in the XP system and now they are on drive D:. I mistakenly created a new catalog and imported all the photos but she says none of the edited photos are there.

My brother-in-law took a failing HDL to Data Doctors and they were able to
recover his data so it is possible if you are willing to pay the cost. It
took days and cost a couple hundred dollars but recovered decades of family
photos that could not be replaced.
From a technical point of view, a recovery of a reformatted HD is possible
but uncertain. Formatting does not really destroy data on a drive but does
destroy the table of data anoint each file such as the name, date created
and all the rest of the directory and folder info. Another issue that makes
it difficult to recover is that when Win-7 was loaded, none of the sectors
of the HD that were a part of the catalog and/or image files were reused.
While it doesn't actually make recovery impossible, it does make it more
difficult and adds uncertainty regarding file content. DOD security
standards require a minimum of three write passes per sector to
securely erase a file to prevent recovery but each pass does make recovery
that much less certain. There is no way to be absolutely certain a sector
was not reused since the architecture of a HD guarantees your file will be
written into scattered sectors. If you have the original photos, you may be
better off just rebuilding your catalog. If you have a backup, restore from
that. If you don't, it is time to start thinking about a backup/recovery
strategy once you get things back together.

Moving Multiple IOS devices From Macbook Pro to iMac

I just bought a new iMac (switching from a PC ). I was able to move all of my families music and movies for their iPod Nano's very easily. I have an iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, two iPod Touches (1G and 4G) and a Shuffle that are currently in separate libraries on my Macbook Pro. What is the easiest way to move all of these to the new iMac so I can start using the iMac to sync the devices without losing anything. Is this a multi-step process to move each one individually?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi, did you try booting the MBP into FireWire target disk mode...

Or is this not a TB to FW cable?
Is the MBP running Migration Assistant?
Does the MBP have a TB port?

Moving old iPhoto file from eMac to new iMac (iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 8)

I plugged in a portable hard-drive to my old eMac, dragged the iPhoto icon into it and waited as it copied into the portable HD. When I tried up-loading it into my new iMac (with iPhoto 8), nothing would happen. Same for iTunes. Any suggestions? I'm sure I'm missing something critical. Thanks from Canada.

Wow. I must be really slow. I tried entering that info (using Richard Campbell)for USER NAME and still nothing would show using Spotlight.
I've bought a firewire cable and will try connecting it from my old eMac to the new iMac. maybe using the migrating software will help. Or is that a bad idea?

Transfer CS3 from Win to an iMAC?

Can I transfer my CS3 for Windows to am iMac?

No.
The Windows serial number is Windows only and will not work on a Mac.
There is a platform swap process (swap a Win serial number to Mac and vice versa) but it only applies to current versions i.e. CS6
Order product | Platform, language swap
As an existing CS3 customer you can join the Adobe Cloud for a discounted price (first 12 months only). Cloud software can be used on both Win and/or Mac for no extra cost.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine. I updated to elements 12.1. Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files. How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I need to transfer all photos to an external hard drive. Many photos have been moved around or deleted from computer hard drive, but still have a very full hard disk. Are the photos with questionmarks in Lightroom still taking up hard disk space? I'm so l

Hi folks,
My hard disk is full. I already moved lots of photos from other folders on the hard disk to other external hard drives, so there are a lot of question marks in Lightroom. So, are those photos still taking up room on the computer hard disk? I want to move everything I have in Lightroom off of the computer to another external hard drive, in hopes that will free up space. I watched a tutorial, and read some things about it, but I need simple instructions please.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Oracle TNS 12535 error after moving repository DB from Win NT to Win 2K

Business Objects 5.1
We have recently moved an Oracle database from Windows NT to Windows 2000. One particular user keeps on getting ORA-12535: TNS: operation timed out.
What could be causing this?
The user can run SQL*Plus and connect to the database without any problems.
The user gets this error when running BO itself. When running our Application or any other Oracle tool or utility (TOAD, SQL*Plus), etc, then all works fine.
From my own PC I can use the 'problem' users BO login to connect to the repository.
So the nature of the problem suggests a network or configuration issue of some kind. We have limited BO expertise at this site.
Please can someone advise?
regards,
MK

Hi Mo,
If the previous solution provided doesnu2019t works then check the following things:
1. Check the ORACLE_HOME value in the Registry and ensure that your PC has only one "ociw32.dll" file.
2. Confirm that the PATH environment variable definition's first Oracle /bin folder path points to the middleware
installation you intend Supervisor to use.
3. Add the repository database server's IP address to the local HOSTS file.
4. Confirm the repository database's entry in the Oracle TNSNames.ora file.

When importing from an old Lightroom 2 catalog into Lightroom 4 (also from Windows to Mac) I seem to have lost all the development history of my photos. Is there any way to retain that?

I finally managed to get through the process of moving files and catalog from Lightroom 2.7 on a PC to Lightroom 4 on my Mac. I think I did it all correctly and all my file and previews and some tagging seems to be there. Two things are lost
1 - Most importantly, the development history on my files. I can see the edited versions in the previews, but as soon as I click on it, I can see that I lose all the changes I had made before. When I look at Development history, it just says "Imported on...." I'd love to get this back. That is a ton of processing work just lost because I switched computers.
2 - The collection names seem to have come over, but they are all empty. This is also a lot of work lost, though not as important as #1
Is there any recourse?

Reinstalling Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro to Win 8 Pro on a metered isp

I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro SP3 to Win 8 Pro. I used the CD to install the original Acrobat 9, then began the process of applying all the updates that have been issued since. The update from 9.0 to 9.2.0 was 300.1 MB, but my satellite ISP only allows for 250 MB per day. How can I update to the current version 9.5.3 without having to download and install all the intermediate versions?

Moving files on share from Windows results in permission loss

Here's the setup:
-- Leopard, with shared SMB folders; specific user and everyone have read/write permissions for the share
-- Windows machine is accessing the share via the specific user & password, connecting fine
When I access the share from the Windows machine, and move files between folders, the file loses all permissions (they are set to 0000) so it cannot be read by anyone at all. The only way of getting access to them again (from either machine) is to chmod them back to 0644.
Copying files is OK, as is creating files and moving a folder from Win -> Mac. It only affects moving files between folders on the Mac.
Can anyone else confirm this, or is it a setup issue here?

10.5.1 has not helped the situation. Any ideas???

Moving Lightroom?

Can I move Lightroom 3.6 from one computer to abother?

you can install lightroom again on another computer with the same license, you are only allowed 2 installations.
Subject to the terms of the software license agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Lightroom is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a home computer, provided that the software is not used on both computers at the same time. Lightroom is sold as multiplatform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.

Lightroom 3 install from downloaded version thru Adobe Store

I just bought a MacBook Pro for photo editing. I have the original disk for LR2 which I had installed on a Windows machine; I purchased the LR3 upgrade download from Adobe Store to also run on that Windows machine. This downloaded file is saved on that Windows computer as a .exe file.
When I tried to use it on the new Mac, the Mac OS doesn't recognize it.
I went to the Adobe store to download it again, maybe in Mac version, but the "Win/Mac" English version shows "not applicable"
However, "Mac multiple languages looks like it can be downloaded.
Do I need to install LR2 from the original disk, then down load the upgrade while on the Mac?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
just to the side of this forum thread is a link that answered my question. Basically, on your Mac, go to the Adobe Store and download the full trial version of LR3 for Mac. It shows up as a dmg file. Install it and you put in your SN for your previously purchased LR3 upgrade; another box will then appear asking for your original LR purchase SN, since this is an upgrade. Put those numbers in and BAM! all done. Worked for me!
Thanks for those that responded with help.

Please help!!
How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first installation?

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.
