New Computer / Upgrading to OS 7

My desktop computer died a while back. That means I have a new computer which doesn't have a backup of my iPhone. I don't have much content that I need to recover, but I do need all my apps (many of which I've paid for) to get back on my iPhone 4s. I do have most of my apps backed up on the Cloud, but I did the cloud backup for my iPhone.
So I tried to upgrade to OS 7 and now it's telling me I need to connect the phone to iTunes but since it's a new computer it's saying that I need to restore my iPhone. Does this mean I've lost all my apps?
I didn't realize that trying to update my iPhone would force me to restore so I didn't back up my iPhone on the cloud because I've upgraded the os on my iphone before and nothing really changed.
There's got to be a way to get my apps back, right?

"will it have synced up with the cloud automaically?"
If you had selected this option then yes. If you did not, then no. It will only do what you set it up to do.
And I did back up my iPhone but the computer I backed it up on died "
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. have you failed to do this?

New computer, upgraded OS, new iTunes installation, will it affect the syncing of my iPhone?

I've gotten a new desktop computer with an upgraded OS. I need to newly install iTunes so that I can sync my iPhone. Is this going to be a problem?

Yes, unless you transfer your iTUnes library from your old computer...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

New Computer with Upgraded Software

I have a new computer with the Photoshop and Premiere Elements version 11 installed. On my old computer I was using Photoshop version 5 and Premiere version 3. I am able to backup my tagging in the organiser, but it simply won't import into the new version. Do I need to uninstall version 11 on my new computer, upgrade the old computer and then somehow transfer this to the new computer for everything to work properly.

From PSE6 onwards a different database was introduced. But it is possible to convert the catalogs from earlier versions and even from the very old Photoshop Album software. The Photoshop Elements Organizer is now called Elements Organizer as it is shared by both PSE11 and PRE11.

There is no need to uninstall from your new computer. There are two possible methods depending on the number of files you have.
(1) Install another copy of PSE11 (not PRE11) on your old computer (you are permitted two installations) and during installation agree to upgrade your old catalog. You can then use backup and restore if you have an external hard drive. The back up from the PSE11 organizer on your old machine will make a physical copy of all the image files and the catalog (your tags and collections etc) although I’m not sure whether collections get converted to albums. When the back up is completed you launch the PSE11 Organizer on the new PC and start the restore process.

(2) If you are only interested in preserving your tags, you could select all the thumbnails in the PSE5 Organizer (Ctrl+A) and from the File menu choose:
Write Tag and Properties Info to Photos
Wait until PSE5 completes writing the metadata and then copy all your pictures folders to your new PC. Then use File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders and agree to import all suggested key words etc.

Installing Existing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on new computer - The "Upgrade Check"

I recently purchased a new computer (Windows 8) to replace my old computer (Windows XP). I had purchased and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on the old computer in September 2009. At that time I had the serial number of the previous edition of Adobe Acrobat to load into the Upgrade Check screen when installing Acrobat 9. I just deactivated the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from the Windows XP machine and downloaded it to the Windows 8 machine and the install went well (still had the serial numbers for the Acrobat 9), until after the reboot when the "Upgrade Check" screen popped up. I don't have the slightest clue what the serial number for the previous version of Acrobat was, I don't even recall what version of Acrobat I had. How can I continue to install my Acrobat Pro 9? I have been using it successfully for three plus years!
Thanks.

If you no longer have the AA7 information, you will have to contact Adobe to determine the software key you had before to allow the installation. Hopefully you had registered your previous product or at least the installation.

Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)

Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

I need advise on whether to upgrade my iBookG4 or get a new computer?

Hi everyone! This is my first post here, and after reading through some of the other posts I realize that many people are having the same problems as me with my OS 10.3.9. I have been having issues with my computer for a while, and keep spending money trying to get one problem fixed, but then something else goes wrong. Most recently, I got a new hard drive installed which helped with the speed. Now it appears I need a new battery because it dies every 5-10 minutes if its not plugged in. After buying an iTouch, I realized that 10.3.9 isn't compatible with any of the new ipods, or newer versions of itunes, etc... So after talking to multiple people in Apple stores and over the phone I have been told many different things about how to upgrade my computer (just like many of you). A few people have told me my computer wouldn't be able to handle leopard, so I should upgrade to the OS before that. My worry is that since my computer is going on 5 years old, and I keep spending all this money on trying to get it fixed, and getting different pieces of advice, should I just try and sell my computer and buy a new one? I'm not very good with the technical terms, but this is what i know about my Mac:
Processor: 1.07 GHz PowerPC G4
Memory: 768 MB DDR SDRAM
Capacity: 74.39 GB
Available: 46.13 GB
Used: 28.25 GB
If anyone could help me figure out if my computer can handle the new leopard (and work like new for more than a few months), or if its smarter for me to buy a new computer I would really appreciate it. I am at the point where if spending money now on a new Mac will save me in the long run I'm willing to do so. Any advice will help! Thank you!

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.

Just as an aside - I have been getting messages on here from Adobe Admin saying that CS5 cannot be reinstalled because everything is now in the cloud and that for $350 I can buy CS6 to install on my new computer. What? Am I getting spammed on Adobe's site here?
Where did you see that?

I had to buy a new computer and now can't get my CS3 with CS5 upgrade to work on windows 8.1. What can I do to get them to load and work?

I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?

Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

I have Audition 3, but my computer has crashed, and I need to install adobe 3 on a new computer. The adobe 3 that I have is an upgrade, I am needing to install it in windows 8, what do I need to do?

My new computer is windows 8, adobe audition is an upgrade edition, what do I need to do?

While it is iffy as to whether or not it will work with Windows 8, even if you had a full version you would not be able to install it. You need to acquire a special version of it along with the serial number for it. See the following:

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory. I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business) when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer. Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad? really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

Lynda-
If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync. Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

I upgraded my computer to 64bit. How can I transfer my Premiere Elements 8.0 (32bit) to new computer?

In October 2014, I purchased Adobe Premier Elements 8.0 (and the APE Templates 8.0) for my work computer (32bit Windows 7). Now they gave me a new computer which is 64bit (Windows 7). How can I get my Premier Elements program back on my new computer without having to purchase it all over again? I only had the program for a couple of months before they upgraded my computer to a 64bit I submitted my question through "Adobe Chat" and they said they couldn't help and I would need to check the forums. Thanks to anyone who can help! Jay

What did you have for installation...
a. installation files from a purchased download from Adobe
or
b. installation disc from boxed packaging of the product?
If you have an installation disc, then insert the disc into the burner tray and follow the instructions for the installation
that present sequentially. Remember that Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit is still going to be a 32 bit application.
It will be running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit computer and the 32 bit limitations would apply. But Premiere Elements
8 will install on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit but not as a 64 bit application.
Now if you purchased an download, those downloads are typically specific to the operating system to which it was downloaded.
Whether or not installation files downloaded to a 32 bit computer will work on 64 bit computer is questionable. Best advice is to
try it. You will get an immediate message from the computer and program if it is a no go.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...Premiere Elements Windows is a 64 bit application only when it is version 10, 11, 12, or 13 run specifically on
Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
