Phew, Mac convert receives new MAC and all is ok

Hi group,
After all this reading and worry, I ordered my imac over a week ago...waited for it to be shipped from far east and it arrived today. I ordered the wireless keyboard and mouse, upgraded to 1GB RAM and upgraded my video to 256Mb.
I reviewed my build 8G1454..and upgraded to MAC OSX 10.4.5.
I have no sleep problems,
No keyboard or mouse problems.....(even switch them off..turn them on and mac reconnects),
My Frontrow is working fine with no window tearing etc,
In fact..theres nothing wrong at all!
Reading this forum gave me the creeps and made me so close to cancel my order before getting it....
It looks to me like MAC are sorting out all the previous issues.
Happy to trial any settings/setup to prove there are no problems for anybody.

I must admit I didn't come on here to gloat...just to
reassure alot of people who are maybe in the position
I was until today, having being a heavy Windows user
and deciding on making that little bit of a bigger
purchase price and making the jump.
As a Linux chap also, I've now got the best of both
worlds.
The cash is well spent and I see why converts never
turn back.

HT4889 How do I get the files that transferred from my old mac to this new mac to all merge so I am not using 2 set ups? In other words, I have stuff on the "new mac" and everything else on the "old mac" even though they are on the same computer.

I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac. I need everything merged to one account.
Thanks!

Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

I've Just migrated my mac to a new iMac and CS5 is dead

I've Just migrated my mac to a new iMac and CS5 is dead, I can't uninstall it or do anything with it. When I try to load an application it just crashes (I'm guessing because it needs registering on my new machine) and I can't uninstall it.
I've been using CS5 for the past three years, and contemplating getting Creative Cloud. The problem is, it looks like I didn't every properly register CS5 with my Adobe ID, the software package was a download from a thrid party seller, and the email account the sent all the registration info to is no longer in use. . .
When I try to use Application Manager to uninstall it just tells me I need application manager and gives me a link to Adobe's website to download it. I download it, install it, try again, same result, tells me I need to download it. . .
Frustrating.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm currently completely stuck!

Reinstall properly.

Do the Mac minis support using AirPlay and all of its functions? I thought I saw a comment yesterday that suggested the Mac mini (particularly the late 2012 models) does not support AirPlay. Thank you.

I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch.

I have just migrated all my files from my old Mac to my new Mac.

I have just migrated all my files from my old Mac to my new Mac. The CS2 apps are asking for my serial number which I have. But before I follow through on this will this procedure deactivate my old Mac's CS2 apps? I'd like to keep the old Mac active until I'm confident that there will be no glitches with software operation on my new Mac. In other words a shakedown cruise of app integrity on the new Mac. Please advise.

never migrate adobe files. properly install them using the installation files.
for cs2, don't use your installation files. use Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
and you don't need to deactivate your currentle working cs2 programs.

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac? When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

I'm having a similar problem...but mine results from an OS upgrade from 10.6.4 to 10.8.5.
Where did you access a clean copy of Java SE 6? The link at adobe for archicval plug-ins is a dead download (and it doesn't appear to contain Java SE 6.).

Transferring Old CS4 from my old Mac to my New Mac Error 6.

I am trying to transfer my old CS4 from my old Mac to a new Mac which doesn't have a disc drive. I copied all the files to a memory stick and the pulled them from the stick into the application folder on my new Mac but the software will not start and say Licensing Error 6.
It this the right way to transfer my old CS4 from my old Mac to the new one which doesn't have a disc drive? and if so what does Error 6 mean and how to I get that sorted so I can work with my CS4 on my new Mac?
Also I would like to have PS and AI in my doc - I am so bad to computer stuff so please explain it all in very plain language. ( :
Kind Regards

You can't do that. Download the most current version of PS CS4 for Mac from the Adobe download site and install it. Then you can copy over your preference file and any edits you have done in PS CS4 from the old Mac.
But if this new Mac you have is running Mavericks or Yosemite CS4 might not work on those newer versions of OS X. Not sure, I gave up on Mac OS X about a year ago.

HT3231 Migration: old mac to my new mac (both laptops), just iTunes/iphoto

I only wish to transfer music from iTunes and my photos from iPhotos from my old mac to my new mac (both laptops)

Reacrobs wrote:
Pondini where do I drag the iPhoto Library to? I was dragging to iPhoto icon...
Ah, no.
The iPhoto application (all the windows and "works") is completely separate from the data (your pictures).
If you want to move an iPhoto Library (containing pictures), see Moving your iPhoto '11 Library or Moving your iPhoto '08 or earlier library, depending on what version of iPhoto you have.
But if you're trying to move it from one computer to another, there may be some permissions problems. That's why it's usually best to use either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer an entire user account (and perhaps 3rd-party apps as well).
Please clarify exactly what you're trying to do, so we can be sure to give you accurate advice.

Email transfer from an old mac to a new mac

I have an old G5 and I am getting a new G5 with the intel based chip, but I am not sure if I can transfer my emails from Mail to the new computers Mail. If someone could give me step by step instructions on how to transfer my emails from my old mac to my new mac that would be awesome. Thank you.

You can use the Migration Assistant to transfer everything from your old Mac to the new - login account and associated Home folder/directory and all data stored within including all Mail.app data, user and network settings and 3rd party applications.

My IPod nano 6 connects to my library but will not receive new music and playlists

My ipod 6th generation will not receive new songs and playlists from my library on my PC. My ipod shows up in the itunes library when I connect it. It syncs when it is plugged in to computer but the sync is very short. I changed to a new computer back in September 2013. My old one crashed. I have synced my ipad 2 and my iPhone 4S to itunes library on the new computer. All these devices show up in the "manage my devices" list except my ipod 6th generation. There is no "add device" to this itunes account, only an option to deauthorize the computer, the iPhone or the ipad.
The ipod downloaded songs that I added to my computer library on my new computer, but will not add new purchased songs nor library playlists.
My computer is shared with my husband. His user account on the same computer shows up in my "manage devices" section of my itunes account. He doesn't use it. I thought I had to add my itunes on his part of the computer because his is the "main user".
I'm not sure what to do. Should I take my computer, iPhone, ipad and nano to an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I kept working at this after posting. On the sync page for the ipod on itunes library I chose to remove the iPods association with my old computer. It erased all the old content from the old computer and then put all my checked songs from the new computer on my iPod nano.
