Moving to another computer

I moved my printer from one computer to another. When I installed the drivers, the computer identified the printer as a storage device. When I try to print, the 8600 isn't listed as an option and I can't figure out how to add it.

You need to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new and the same for photos.
iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Music Store only from an iPod or iPhone to iTunes on another computer but this is for iTunes purchased content only - not for any music or video imported into iTunes from another source that is available on an iPod or iPhone.
Your email account setup information already on your iPhone will not change. The email account settings transferred from a computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process is in one direction only - from the computer to the iPhone and not in the other direction. You will need to create the email accounts accessed with an email client on your old computer with the chosen email client on the new computer.
The sync process for contact information and calendar events is a true sync process and is bidirectional with the application or applications used for this data on the computer the iPhone is synced with. If you currently use Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a Windows PC for syncing contact information and calendar events and will use the same on the new computer, be sure to enter at least one contact in the address book and one calendar event in the calendar with Outlook on the new computer before syncing.

Activation after moving to another computer

My G4 PowerMac died mid-project (motherboard) and I had to transfer all my software and projects by removing the hard drives into a desktop hard drive case, and then reactivate the programmes.
Most were easy, but PSE6 told me that I had already use the permitted number of activations - I have it on my MacBook also. The window tells me that I must deactivate PSE from one computer before I use it on the new one (I can't because the motherboard is dead) or buy a new activation. This seems a bit hard.
I have spent over an hour trying to contact Adobe, without success. The Chat hosts are not on line.
This is very porrt service. Does anybody have any comments, or, perhaps more helpfully, suggestions?

I thought I answered your question. I will try again:
I had a downloaded copy from the trial web site, which I used under
trial conditions, and then I bought it, by paying over the web and
getting an activation number. I have no boxed version.
Subsequent to my writing, in frustration to the forum, I decided to
try contact Adobe through their Irish telephone number ( I used Skype
to avoid horrendous BT charges).
After a comparitively short wait (5 - 6 minutes) I was put through to
an Adobe operative somewhere in the Far East, who talked me through
the problem and gave me a new authorisation number, which has allowed
the software to be activated.
So the problem is solved.
But it would be so much better if Adobe had an efficient customer
support service from the numbers and chat fields it shows on its UK
web site.
Thank you for your interest.

SAVE BOOKMARS TO BE MOVED TO ANOTHER COMPUTER (I DO NOT HAVE THE BUTTONS).

I TRIED TO FIND HINTS, BUT THE BUTTONS IN THE HELP GUIDES DO NOT EXIST ON MY VERSION OF FIREFOX. FIREFOX IS CURRENT. IF I HAD THOSE BUTTONS, IT WOULD BE A SNAP.

How do i transfer my bookmark toolbar from one computer on which i am running firefox to another computer of the same type that i am running firefox on?

when i installed firefox on my new macbook pro the bookmarks that i had set up in firefox on my old mac book pro did not appear.
How do i transfer these bookmarks to the new computer.

Here's what I do when transferring from one profile to another, on the same computer.
Go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click on any bookmark in that category, click on menu "organize", click "select all", click on "organize" again, click "copy".
Then close firefox, start it again with the other profile, go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click "organize", click "paste".
Now if you are moving to another computer, try save the copied content to a text file and move that text file to the other computer, then use "paste" inside firefox.
Good luck.

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

Moving to another state without computer. how do I take itunes with me?

Im moving to another state without my computer. How can I take my itunes library with me for when I eventually get a new computer?

Copy your iTunes folder to a USB flash drive if it will fit, otherwise to a portable flash drive. When you get a computer, copy the folder in.

Authorizing another computer moved my movies into music

I authorized an additional computer for my iPOD through iTunes & somehow all of my movies, tv shows, and music videos got moved into the music category on my iPOD. I can see them if I go to Music - Albums - & scroll to the bottom where there are songs associated with no albums. How can I get them to go back into the Movie category? Everything was fine until I authorized another computer through iTunes & iTunes does whatever it does for that. I am unable to view my movies now because my iPod won't even play them now since they are in the Music category.

Forget this topic - my other computer is suddenly authorized again. I'll see how long it lasts this time.

We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

You 2005 mini shipped with a PowerPC G4 CPU ranging between 1.25 and 1.5 (late sept 2005) Ghz. PowerPC is not Intel. This mini will not run current releases of Skype for the following reasons:
The current version of Skype claims support for OS X 10.5.8 -- but wants a 1Ghz Intel processor just for voice calls. Their recommendation for video calls is a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel CPU and a broadband connection of at least, 4Mbps down and 512Kbps up. Skype requirements.

Moving itunes from external hard-drive to another and using another comput

Hi,
This has probably been posted before but i couldn't find it.
My itunes works on another computer, with the library (Edit->Preferences->Itunes location as g:\itunes), this includes the xml files for the library.
I've now got a new laptop and external hard-drive and want to move the library onto the new hard-drive and use it on the new laptop.
I think i can copy the itunes folder from old hard-drive onto new one, then point the itunes install on the new laptop to the new harddrive and it should pick it up?
Any ideas?
Matt

Welcome to AD!
+this includes the xml files for the library.+
Does this also include the important itunes database file, the one with the ITL file extension?
If so, your idea should work. Use Windows Explorer to copy the ITL & music files/folders over to the new exHD.
Connect the new exHD to your laptop and make sure Windows sees it as drive G:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844
That is a very important step. Otherwise, iTunes will lose all the paths to the music.
Now start itunes on the laptop by pressing *and holding* the shift key. Tell it to use the ITL file on the G: drive. Then set your iTunes preoferences to have any future additions go to the G: drive music folder.

Moving Final Cut Studio to another computer

I just got a new G5 and want to take my Final Cut Studio off my Power Book G4 and put it on the G5 and then instal Final Cut Express on the Power Book.
Can I transfer the license to another computer and if so how is my question.
Thank you for your time, Robert

All you need to do is remove it from the powerbook, and install it on the G5. The license for the softare is for the software, not what machine it is on. But it can only reside on one machine...which you know.
Good for you.

Moving favorite loops to another computer

I have checked off my favorite loops on my macbook and I would like to transfer them to my imac. Is there a way to do this or do I just have to manually check them off all over again?

What do you mean by "checked off"?
Transferring loops to another computer is easy: Just locate the Loops folder in the Finder (probably under HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple) and copy them over. At the new location, drop the folder into the Loop Browser, and the loops will be indexed automatically.

Hyperlinks stop working when moving QT movie to another computer

Hi.
When setting objects as hyperlinks to other slides (Next, Previous, Frist slide) and copying the exported QuickTime movie to another computer, all hyperlinks stop working. Clicking a hyperlink will prompt a message on WindowsXP.
The meaning of this is that Keynote presentations with hyperlinks cannot be distributed to other computers via QuickTime. This is very severe.
Because of the special architecture of QuickTime, using the arrow keys to navigate back, forces the user to step-back build-by-build and only a hyperlink can do this in one step.
I've researched discussion groups and websites and found no viable solution. The only solution offered was not to use slide transitions, but this negates the whole advantage over Powerpoint.
can you suggest any solution? I would even consider opening the qt movie with a text editor to find and replace the hyperlinks, but to what?
thanks
Gaby

Make sure the windows machine has the absolutely newest version of QT on it. There were bugs in QT for Windows, but the last version corrected this issue.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.
