New imac, first time trying to open...

I got the new iMac today and I just tried to open iMovie for the first time but it wont open, it bounces in the dock and then says it unexpectedly quit?

Guys, Guys!!!
You are talking about different types of problems. With regard to the bouncy icon (Melanie) with no launch of iMovie 08:
When you set up your computer, did you bring data from your previous computer?
Do you have DivX in you computer?.
Greggor: you r absolutely right, this is not apple-like. Leopard has had several problems, I almost feel that my new MacBook is a HP Pavilion on a Mac costume. However, most of the problems are being defined clearly very rapidly.
One of the 2 most frustrating problems for me are the incompatibility of iMovie with DivX, unable to playback correctly DivX in Leopard, and the disastrous compatibility of other third-party software, like Osirix, Skype, and the MOST SHOCKING: *Acrobat Reader*.

Transfer Aperture to my new Imac byt it won't open.

I transfered all of my files from my time machine to my new Imac but aperture will not open. I have tried to put the serial number in that was on the old computer but that does not work either.... ugh!

What exactly happens? Where did you buy Aperture from originally, App Store, Box Set or Apple site digital download?
Pro Apps (of which Aperture is one) do not like being installed by being copied from one machine to another. While it sometimes works it is not recommended. There is this Pro Applications: Some features do not work if drag installed or if copied following an Archive and Install and this Pro Applications: Entering serial number after migrating causes the application to stop responding
So depending on how you first bought Aperture you should re-install it from the original media.

I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

First time trying to add music onto my phone from..

first time trying to drag and drop music onto my iphone using itunes and it wont work. just got a new mbp and had no problems when transferring with my ipod. whats the problem? any tips? suggestions?

IOS 6.1.3 does not allow the drag and drop like previous versions. If you're in the "Songs" list of iTunes you can highlight a list of songs or individuals and right click to get to the move options. Below will show you how to move copies to the iPhone or already created playlist.
Let me know if this helps.

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the iPod backjp and click on delete and try again.

I have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?

Hello Forum Members,
I figured it out. You have to select the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

I was transferring data from my old iMac to my new iMac via Time Machine. After about 4 hours, the electrical power fluctuated and turned off my wi-fi. Now most of my necessary programs are useless. How do I erase and start over?

Hello there, LynnS.
The following Knowledge Base article and it's referenced link should get you started with the Erase and Install of Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks: Erase and reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14243
Once you've gone through those 2 articles, this article should help you with restoring from your Time Machine Backup:

HT4796 After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

First time trying to buy from iTunes and I received a message that my payment was declined. I was using the MasterCard method. Help

Is this a debit card you're trying to use? If so, those are apparently no longer accepted by the iTunes Store. You need to use a true credit card. If you are using a credit card, make sure all your billing details match your bank statement exactly. If that doesn't help, call your credit card company and ask if they can see any sort of flag on your account that might cause your card to be declined.

How do I install Google Earth on our new iMac. We tried and nothing happened.

How do I install Google Earth on our new iMac. We tried and nothing happened.

It's distributed as a disk image file. Double-click the file. A disk image will mount. Drag the application in that image to the Applications folder. Eject the image by dragging its icon on the Desktop to the Trash. You can then delete the disk image file.

They're in a new user account created by the Migration. When you next log on, you should get a prompt to assign a password for the new account.

How comes that, having everybody issues with infinitely long backups (combining mountain lion on new imac and time capsule) apple doesn't fix it? (my time machine forecasts not less than 6/8 days to complete the first one, 350 gig transferred from a pc,).

Within 6 days someone will switch off the machine, or power will go off, or some error will occur. I will have a backup when I'll have to replace this new Imac....

Always do the first backup at least over ethernet.. even if you have to use the TC in complete isolation from the network. You should be able to do that backup in about 6-8hours, ie overnight.
The setup is easy.. in complete isolation.. if you have no ethernet from the imac.. just use a short patch lead.. plug LAN port of the TC into the iMac. Turn off wireless in the imac. Make sure the airport utiity can locate the TC, if not press reset on the TC and it will go back to router mode.. ignore all the errors .. just locate the hard disk is working.. start up TM and point it to the TC.. do the backup.
Once this backup is done.. the hourly incrementals over wireless should take just a couple of minutes. Although if you are manipulating very large files then you may need to consider getting better connection, either using 5ghz wireless which is much faster but might need extender.. or ethernet or ethernet over power type adapters.
