Old ppj files on old PC to new mac?

Im trying to open old .ppj files i pulled from a old PC hard drive. Im using a mac now and the adobe premiere CS6 im using wont open them or recognise them which i understand but is there any way around this? Thanks

Those files likely come from the older Premiere. Premiere Pro [a new program written from the ground up] creates .prproj files. I'm not sure you can open Premiere files in Premiere Pro CS6.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

Can't get my iTunes music from old PC to new Mac through iCloud. Can't I just log in to iCloud to see music?

I mave iCloud set up through my new iPhone 4S. Yesterday I got my new macbook and I can't get my iTunes to transfer to my new mac from my old PC using iCloud. Are you supposed to be able to do this?

From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Help moving itunes library from old PC to new mac

Well, I followed the online directions for moving my ipod library from an old pc to my new mac. It says files have been copied and now I see all the song files in the music folder of my new mac, but they won't show up in i tunes....what's up?
Afterwards, I also restored my ipod for a mac and erased everything...so hopefully I havn't screwed up and lost everything! If I had to do the process over, I guess now I can't go back to my old pc and re-do it, right?
Help...

Syncing iPhone from old PC to new Mac

maybe the answer to this question is the same as if my new and old cpus are the same, but here it goes:
i had a PC (HP laptop) for 2 years to which my iPhone 3G was synced. smartly, i just purchased the new Macbook Pro. i would like to sync my iPhone to the Macbook. do i simply transfer all my iTunes files to the Macbook (via an external harddrive)? it is my understanding that i will have to manually sync the songs back on to the iPhone, is this correct?
also, how can i transfer the applications purchased via my iPhone?
many thanks.

You're welcome.
After transferring your iTunes library from your old PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, the same selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC should be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
Basically, I have 120 G of music and picked and chose about 14G for my iPhone. Is there a way to make that sync automatically or will I have to manually sync each song back onto my iPhone?
Does this mean you have been manually managing music and videos with iTunes on your PC? If so, when switching from manually managing music and videos to syncing music, movies and tv shows will erased all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first. You can accomplish the same with iTunes playlists. I have a primary iPhone playlist in iTunes for my iPhone where the majority of all music I want available on my iPhone is placed along with a number of other iTunes playlists I have created and chosen to be transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can choose sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. You can select your chosen iTunes playlists, artists, and genres in the windows below followed by a sync.

Migrate from old G4 to new mac mini

how can i migrate from an old mac without airport to a new mini? i have them connected by a firewire cable.

See the following: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins Contextual Menu Items Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following: >MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks:

Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Migrate old G4 to new Mac Pro

I'm helping a customer set up a new Mac Pro. They have an old G4 and would like to migrate Photoshop and Illustrator files to the new system.
I'm aware of the Firewire cable + Target Disk mode, and I know it could be done over ethernet as well.
I'm wondering about simply opening up the G4, taking the hard disk out and putting in an empty bay on the Mac Pro. Obviously we wouldn't try to boot from it (it has Tiger) but my question is simply one of drive compatibility. Would the new Mac Pro be able to use the HDD from the old G4?
Just looking for painless, easy and cheap. I have replaced HDD many times so that's not an issue, I just don't know if it will work.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

"...my question is simply one of drive compatibility. Would the new Mac Pro be able to use the HDD from the old G4?..."
No. Not cleanly at all. The Mac Pro's use SATA drives while the G4 would have IDE drives. They are different interfaces. You could potentially get an adapter, something like this to get your connections worked out. However, this issue is still going to be where to physically put the G4's drive inside the Mac Pro. An SATA drive would fit into a bracket, and simply slide right into all the appropriate connections (Power & Data).
But the adapter card you'd have to install to make the IDE drive work, will also prevent it from working as well. Hope that makes sense.
An alternative may be to buy an external Firewire enclosure, ready for an IDE (or "ATA") drive and put the old G4 drive there. Simple and clean - guaranteed to work.
An internal solution does not seem possible to me.

Old hardrive in new Mac pro

I bought a second internal hardrive for my old 1.6 G5. I bought it from an apple reseller so assume it is the standard type. Can I install this in my new Mac pro 2.88 (when it arrives)?
Also, I want to use this hardrive with logic and some third party plugins. What is the best way to configure this. Applications on main hardrive, all audio files and samples, sample libraries (including those for logic) on the second Hardrive? Any advice on utilising my hardrives for music produciton would be great
Cheers

You have four drive bays. Spread everything out. Your old hard drive is likely a couple years old. I would reformat it (which you need to do anyway to GUID partition table format for INTEL Macs) and use it for an emergency backup clone of your system and put it someplace safe. Off line, maybe in FireWire/SATA case.
I'd look into 3 x 500GB drives from WD. 750GB if you want even better performance.
Don't use Migration Assistant for any PPC applications, just for preferences, settings and data.
Music and audio benefit nicely from 4 drives.

Connect to Old Backup from new mac

I recently purchased a new mac book to replace an older one that I had backed up wtih Time Machine/Time Capsule. I need to file an old file that I backed up but my new Time Machine doesn't show any history. How to I get to my old backed up files?

Once you're sure you've got the new Mac set up right, you should probably erase your TM disk before starting to use it for backups of the new one.
The reason is, TM on your new Mac will not delete any of the backups from the old one when it needs space for new backups (and the first backup on the new one will be a full backup). Instead, it will delete your oldest backup of the New Mac.
In essence, the backups from your old Mac are "stranded." You can delete them via the TM interface, but that's one at a time and rather tedious. See item 12 of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
