New HP Pavillion All-in-one PC 20-b014 ( and moving information from old computer)
Hello,
I apologize if this has been asked before....but would appreciate some assistance.
I currently have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5310y desktop PC (running Windows 7) and just purchased the HP Pavillion All-in-one PC 20-b014(Windows 8). I was wondering if it was possible to migrate some of my information directly from my old computer to my new computer. If not, what would be the best/easiest way to move some of the current information (Turbo tax folders and Itunes) to my new computer.
My knowledge base in this process is limited, so if it can be explained in a "For Dummies" fashion, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
JC Gal
for change the information use a usb or pendrive, the software itunes dont is posible because only woks with every laptop
you need run one more time software itunes on new laptop
or check with support itunes
best regards

I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant. Now I have 3 users. I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
Thanks,In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp. -
HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer
My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

how do i tranfer old info from my other computer to the new one with a external hard drive?
Copy what you want from the old computer's Home folder to the external drive. Connect the drive to the new computer and restore that data to the proper locations in the new computer's Home folder.

Moving music from old computer to new computer
I recently purchased my MacBook Pro and I am trying to move all of my music from my old computer to this one. You might think that simply copying the songs to an iPod (as files, not music that can be listened to) and trasferring them to the desired computer would solve my problem. However, this has proved unsucessful so far. I am trying to avoid importing all of my backup CDs because the album artwork would be lost. Is there a way to hook my two computers up via FireWire or something else? The computer I want to transfer music from is an iMac - one of the new flat panels but without the built in iSight so it has FireWire ports. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
If your iPod is large enough, you can transfer the library without loosing anything (ratings, play counts etc.) using these instructions:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer.
Another method is to connect your computers by Ethernet or Firewire.
Using the latter method, put the source computer in Firewire target disk mode. The MacBook will see the iMac as an external HD.
You can then copy all your music to the MacBook.
If your MacBook has the same file structure (folder mapping and username) of the iMac, copy the entire iTunes folder (including iTunes Music folder and the library files) to the same location on your MacBook. iTunes will recognize the library and find all songs.
Hope this helps.

Moving files from old computer to new
I have purchased my daughter a Powerbook 1.3 Ghz and need to move her files, applications, etc., from her old Powerbook 400 mhz to the new one. I have an external firewire drive that will make this easy, I think, but I am concerned about what exactly to move so that her safari bookmarks and her iTunes playlists, preferences, etc., all make the jump.
I'm sure there is a trick to doing this. I just don't know what it is.
Thanks in advance,

New Computer and iTunes folder from old computer
I have a new laptop, but I no longer have my old laptop.
I do however have the iTunes folder from the old laptop.
What is the easiest way to set up iTunes on my new laptop with all the music from either my iPod or the iTunes folder?Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. -
Moving iWeb from old computer to new
I just bought a new computer with iLife 08, the old computer has iLife 06. How do I move my website from iWeb to the new computer? I saw one internet suggestion that I look for a file in users/myname/library/application support/iweb. This folder does not exist on my old computer. Thanks for any help.
On the old computer the domain file for iweb is only in the library folder under the main HD and not in the user library. I copied this Domain, and on the new computer the only iweb folder was in the user library (which there is only one user) so I pasted the domain file there. This did not work, when I open iweb I still get he start up for new user screen.

Moving mail from old computer to new
I am trying to move my husbands mail from our old computer to the new one.
I have copied:
HD>Users>Jeff>Library>Mail (folder)
and HD >Users>Jeff>Library>Preferences>mail
to the same spots on my new computer.
When I open mail it just tries to start a new account.
What am I missing. Is there an easier way?
thanks Lauraand HD >Users>Jeff>Library>Preferences>mail
what exactly did you move for that one? you need to move the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the mail folder you mentioned.
when you start mail it will look as it did on the old computer. make sure you are copying the right things to the right location. -
Moving iTunes from Old Computer to New Computer

I know how to move the Music Folder. But, how do I move the playlists I have created on the "old" mac? Can my iPod assist in this effort?
I would appreciate a little guidance. Thank you. DaleHow to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Moving ps from old computer hard drive OS XP to new computer OS WIn7
Please see the attached doc file. If I have not posted this in the right place please advise me as to it has been posted
Thank you.The doc was clean, but the OP should have copied and pasted the contents, they are very short: This is the content
I have purchase a new computer with Windows 7 for the operating system. I have the old computer’s hard drive which I plan to connect up to the new computer as an external hard drive. The old computer’s OS is Windows XP. Photoshop V6 and updated to Photoshop CS2 are properly installed on the old computer’s hard drive. How do I go about moving / transferring Photoshop to the new computer from the hard drive of the old computer? Due to OS installation problems on the new computer I have lost the 2nd install of PS v6 from the install CD, also there is a 30 trial of PS CS2 on the hard drive of the new computer. I have the installation CDs and key numbers for both v6 and CS2. Also see TS case 181364257. Would software such as “Magical Jelly Bean “be of any use in making this transfer?
The answer is, you should have deactivated CS2 and then re-installed on the new computer. It appears you did not, so phone Adobe Customer Service to have the activations re-set. -
Please help this Techno-phobe!! My printer is no longer listed in Devices & Printers (so, obviously, will not print!). Went to HP Solution centre & found a download that is supposed to fix this problem - specs included Windows 7 64bit (which mine is) - downloaded, saved, then went to run it & it came up with a box saying "Not intended for Windows 7"??!!! Have re-run the set-up CD, tried turning off my firewall, all with no result. Went to e-mail HP support, but they cannot find my registration (I did register the product & have the e-mail confirmation to prove it!). It's Sunday, so no telephone support - I have lots of printing I need to get down......can anyone help in words of one syllable please?!

Moving library from old computer to new computer
I have followed the given guide and have put my library on my iPod to bring to my new computer which is running on Vista. The problem is two things: one being that when i try to drag the itunes folder from the music folder it asks for permission and I do not know how to allow it(my profile is set as an administrator. The second problem is that the file for my Ipod found in "Computer" does not have my library of music. Help would be appreciated, I am getting pretty upset.
Alright I figured what i did wrong but now itunes opens black but will return back if I minimize it, explanation?
