Moving to new computer, can Lightroom transfer?

I am away from home and I am transferring to a new computer. I currently have lightrom on my laptop and want to put it on this new desktop. I know my copy of the software allows for installation on two computers. My problem is I don't have my DVD copy of Lightroom with me. It will be in storage for 6 months.
Could I download the trial version of Lightroom through this website and call Adobe to activate it with the information I have on my Laptop copy (or the fact that I am a registered user?)
Or am I stuck having to buy a new copy?
Thanks,
Jeff

You're in luck. Just download the app from the site, and you'll have 30 days to register it.
I've not had to call Adobe.
As to the transfer, you can do it lock, stock and barrel if your folder structure can be repeated on the new machine. If it can't, you might want to move images into the LR folder prior to migration.

  • I just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from one computer to another computer with all my music

    i just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from my old computer to my new computer with my music in it or do i have to sync all my cds again

    Hi,
    A painless way to do it ...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

  • I'm getting  a new computer can I transfer my existing lightroom5 to the new computer?

    My current computer is dying so I'm about to buy a new iMac, can I transfer my existing Lightroom5 & Elements12 to the new computer? 

    Don't know about Elements but yes, with Lightroom just download the relevant version to your new computer and enter your serial number.

  • New computer: can I transfer Lightroom?

    In November, I bought Lightroom for my laptop (Windows.) After my computer threatened to die on me one day, and also wanting to upgrade anyway, I now have an Apple Mac desktop computer. Am I able to transfer Lightroom onto the new computer? Can I exchange my program for the Mac version? What can I do?
    Thankyou, H

    There is no need for an exchange. The serial number that you have will work for either platform. There is no activation process for Lightroom as there is for Photoshop. So all you have to do is download the appropriate trial version, install it, and then use the serial number you have to activate it.

  • Moved to new computer - how to transfer library?

    I have moved to a new computer and want to transfer my ipod library to the new computer. Can I do this?

    You have two options:
    Copy the Library and the song files from the old PC to the new PC (preferred): http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1366018
    Recover the songs from the iPod to the new PC: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1365113

  • New Computer - can't transfer library

    I have a new computer, the old one is out of action. Any advice I can see for synching my IPod with new computer requires access to the old on which isn't an option for me. Oddly, I can synch purchased music but not non purchased - does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Scotlad

    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists also it was written for Windows XP so will probably require adapting for Vista. If you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

    Hi
    I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
    I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
    Anybody know how I can fix this please?
    Kind regards

    For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

  • Getting a new computer. can i transfer my itunes?

    Hey im getting a new computer and was wondering if its possible to transfer my i tunes from my old one (its is still working just really bogged down) to the new computer.

    yes,i think i can figure it out by the third party tool. what i am using is Aniosoft itunes to itunes.It enables you to copy any itunes library to the storage devices if you like and then recover them with no any differece including its formerly playlists ,your personal settings and other content into the new computer or another computer just a simple click 'restore from the folder' that you can select by your preference.For you case,i think you can backup your itunes of the old computer to a memory stick and then transfer the backup database to your new one.You can have a free trial for Aniosoft itunes to itunes before you can buy one.Anyway luck to you.

  • New Computer Can't transfer purchased music

    I just got a new computer and successfully transferred my library using the consolidate library feature. However, now, when I purchase music, I can't put it on my iPod. I can only put the music that I transferred. How do I get my purchased music to my iPod?

    Hi Tyler,
    Have you authorized your new PC to play your purchased music? If you haven't just try to play any of your purchased tunes on your new computer and you'll be prompted for your iTunes store ID and password, you have to be connected to the Internet. Just remember to Deauthorize your old computer if you'll be selling it or giving it away to someone you would not want to listen to your purchased music, remember you can only authorize 5 computers. To deauthorize, go to your old computer, go to Advanced > Deauthorize computer...
    good luck!

  • New computer - can't transfer old itunes, problems importing cd's

    Sorry the subjec area has multiple topics, but i've got issues. Long story short: computer completely broke. Can't even view screen to try and restore anything or remove programs. Now have HP dv6000. Since I can't move old itunes acct over to new computer, I've resorted to importing all my cd's again. For some reason, some cd's don't even come up when i put them in the drive. No message, no warning - nothing. I insert the cd and it just spins and spins. Is this an itunes issue or a HP issue? Is it because some cd's don't allow you to copy to more than one computer?
    Any suggestions?

    You should probably post in the itunes forum, since it appears your question has little or nothing to do with ipods.
    Where is your back up? Did you not maintain a back up of your music/pics/docs/etc?
    You can copy a cd on as many computers as you like. Your problem is very likely not an itunes issue.

  • IPod on new computer- Can't transfer music

    IPod nano. Old computer hard drive was reformatted and I lost all my music. It's still on my IPod though.
    1. How do I get the current contents of my IPod music back onto my computer from my IPod.I used to see it in I Tunes?
    2. When I try to log into my I Tunes account, a flag comes up warning me that my music is associated with a different account. How do I access my account contents of music like all the stuff I purchased previously?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.
