Problems opening Aperture onto new iMac

I had to replace a malfunctioning iMac with Aperture installed on it with a new iMac. A data transfer moved everything from the old to new. When try to open Aperture it won't accept the original serial number or 3.0 serial number. I am unable to get into Aperture to access my photos. Thanks for your help.

No. Aperture, like every program I know of, separates program files from data files. Deleting and/or installing the Aperture program should have no effect whatsoever on your Aperture Libraries, wherever they are. Generally, your Aperture program file is in your Applications folder, and your Libraries are stored in your Documents folder. You might want to confirm that the move from old to new brought over your Aperture Libraries intact.

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

Can't open iTunes on new iMac

After migrating all my documents from a ProMac to an iMac I can't open iTunes in new iMac. "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When I select "Download iTunes" I get "No Updates available" and an unknown error (-42408)

Since it's brand new I'd call AppleCare and let them walk you through it. They will have you try things and you can give immediate feedback and they will take you to the next step. That would take us too long here. Apple's service is very good.

Transitioning from iPhoto 6 to Aperture on new iMac

Please redirect me if there is somewhere this has been asked, or if there would be a better resource for me. I guess I have several issues here. We have a 2006 iMac with about 12,000 photos stored in iPhoto 6. I am a serious hobbyist, and want to transition to Aperture (at least I think I do, I suppose I am also considering LR3). We have a new iMac on the way, and I want to get some advice on how to best move everything over and set everything up before it gets here. So, here are my questions:
We tried to import everything into Aperture on our current iMac, and could not do an import due to our version of iPhoto being too old. I am wondering if this is going to be a problem with our new iMac as well- in other words, will we have to import everything into a new version of iPhoto, then into Aperture?
Also, our photos have keywords, but the rest of our organizational structure I can do without. We have been importing into iPhoto and naming each import with the date- unless we have forgotten, in which case it is just "Roll whatever". And these folders are organized by year in the IPhoto Originals folder. I am open to any kind of organizational structure or workflow idea, but I would like to "clean up" our current mess of photos and get everything to be consistent. How can I do this? Should I export and then import, or is this process going to be easier than I expect it will be? How would it be best to get the photos from one computer (iPhoto) into Aperture on a new computer? Use of an external drive, export then import, etc?
Finally, I am not sure how to decide if I should use a referenced library and store all of my photos on an external drive, or to actually put everything into Aperture. Any advice?
Again, sorry if these are repetitive questions. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

The version on your new Mac won't import the v6 iPhoto Library either.
But the new Mac will have a later version if iPhoto on it, so upgrade the v6 Library with that (just open it with the new version) and then migrate that to Aperture. As always - make sure you have a back up.
Rename the Rolls before doing anything else. Any Rolls not renamed will be split into (possibly) multiple Events on upgrading. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable.
IPhoto 6 has no way to export keywords with the files, so if you go that way, or import directly from the Originals folder you will lose your keywords.
With 12k files a Managed Aperture Library is easy, and you can change later should you need to.

How do I load CS5 onto new iMac?

I purchased a new iMac, which doesn't have a spot to insert my CS5 disc. How will I be able to install my CS5 onto my new computer?

I get this message: "install" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
That's the Gatekeeper feature in OS X Mavericks kicking in. Nothing to do with Adobe,

Problem opening Aperture in Mountain Lion

I'm running Aperture 3.3.2 and upgraded to Mountain Lion last night. Since the upgrade Aperture is hanging on the "Opening Aperture Library" window. I've repaired and rebuilt my library with all referenced files on externals attached. No help. I've also deletedt the "ProAppsSystemID" file and reentered my registration numbers and still had no success.
Oddly with the "Opening" window open Aperture's toolbar funcuions normally as if the program were open.
I have figured out a work around. I made a new, empty library. I can open Option-click and open Aperture and select that empty library. From that empty library I can then switch to my normal library and use it as normal. Upon closing Aperture however things go back to being locked up when I try to open it.
Anyone else seen this problem? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.

Don't do that; files in Time Machine backups are protected, and should not (usually cannot) be used directly with applications. The should be restored somewhere to be used.
Use the Time Machine browser (the "Star Wars" display) instead.

Secure downloads: how do I get old Word to open them on new iMac?

I had MS Office X and installed it (via data wire from old iMac) on my new iMac. The problem is that the new MS Office that is preinstalled wants to open all my downloaded documents. They are now downloading as "secure download" and my old version won't open them. My old version can open any document only after the document is downloaded and opened in the new MS Office 2004.
I'm only using Office as opposed to Appleworks because tables/spreadsheets don't cross over from one platform to another easily and Office is the predominant software for those with whom I correspond via email.

Problems with AIM on new iMac G5

Hi--Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm having an extremely frustrating problem with AIM, which I recently downloaded on my son's new iMac G5 (TIger 10.4.3). I've tried posting this question in the iChat forum, but since he doesn't use iChat and never has it open on his computer, I don't think it's an interference problem with iChat.
AIM quits unexpectedly and repeatedly, often several times in just a few minutes. I've tried: throwing out all preferences, trashing and reinstalling AIM, and using AIM from a different user account on the machine. AIM worked FINE on my computer--an older G4 also running OS Tiger, so I can't imagine that this is an operating system conflict.
A friend suggested that it might be a problem with the wireless network. The new G5 is connected wirelessly via Airport to my G4. Has anyone heard of AIM not running well on a wireless machine? Could something (an outside frequency perhaps?) be interfering with the wireless connection, causing AIM to quit?
Needless to say, AOL's tech support is completely unhelpful. Says they don't provide tech support for AIM.
If anyone can help, or knows someplace I can find AIM tech support, I would GREATLY appreciate it! THanks!

The best advice I can offer is to dump the AOL AIM client altogether, and use a third-party instant messaging application that supports AIM.
For example, Adium X is a full featured IM client that supports AIM as well as many other IM protocols.
It's very stable on Tiger, and it's light years ahead of the official AIM client from AOL.
Try it out!

Problems downloading documents in new iMac

I hope someone can help me. I have been having problems downloading document on my new iMac. (Bank documents in .qif files, and MS Word documents as .doc files) I use Safari, but I have had a similar problem in Explorer and Firefox. When I try to download, I get an error message in the download manager that reads, for example: 8.0 kb of ? -- Cannot create file. Then when I retry, it seems to be downloading until it gives me the same message. It is not a permissions problem, since I checked on that. And it is not a server problem, because my iBook downloads files just fine.

Open the General section of Safari's preferences and check the download location; if this isn't the desktop, change it to the desktop and try again. If it still doesn't work, control-click on the desktop and choose Get Info from the File menu. Check that the Locked checkbox isn't checked and that you have full access to that folder; if you check permissions from the Disk Utility, it won't look at or fix the permissions on the desktop folder. If it still doesn't work, reopen Safari's preferences and move the download location to the Documents folder in your home folder. Also check that there is enough free space on the drive to accomodate the downloaded file.

MAIL won't open on my new iMac

I recently purchase a new iMac (have macbook for years) and among various small issues I am having, MAIL won't open when I click the icon. It seems to be running but no window opens up. It was that I could right click the icon and select show all windows and it would come up, however this morning nothing seems to work. Apple support isn't open on weekends which is not great either, so any advice is appreciated.

So many issues - family of 5, i am using my wifes apple id on my iPhone, my daughter is using my apple id on touch, i need to get all iTunes content off an old PC onto new imac and i just got iphone 5 and want to be able to have evreything work - help!

5 plus years ago my wife had the only Apple ID and as a family we all used her Itunes account to buy and listen to music. A couple years later, I (husband) bought my first iPhone - the only iDevice in the household. When I set that iphone up, I used the wife's apple ID as I wanted access to all of the itunes music we had as a family. So now years later, all of my Apps etc have been purchased via the Wife's Apple ID. To make matters worse for my situation, my 10 yr old daughter got an iTouch for Christmas and i decided to use my actual (husband) Apple ID as daughter is a minor and I felt I could manage her iTouch Apps content that way. We have just recently bought our first iMac and I had yet to understand or get to work the iCloud or the Home Sharing of iTunes. To make matters worse, I have never synched my 3G iphone because of the whole Apple ID issue. I should also mention that the primary 'authorized' computer for my wife's itunes account is an old PC that we almost never use anymore as it runs soooo slow. So I am left to wonder how to go about making the transition to get the old PC 'deauthorized' after I somehow transfer all itunes files from the old PC to the new iMac. I now have the new iPhone5 and i REALLY want to get to the point where i have my iphone on my apple id and my wife has her apple id (no iphone for her yet - probably coming soon though). On the new iMac i have created a login for me and one for my wife. I was able to login to itunes on her imac login and i was able to set up iCloud. it works! - but now my calendar, contacts, photos, etc are on her profile login of the iMac! HELP me PLEASE!!

Your Apple ID should not be causing problems with your browser. If you describe the problems you are having we might be able to help with those.

How do I import data from external hard drive onto new iMac?

How do I import data from an external hard drive onto my new iMac?

If you think about it logically if you want to move something from one place to another well do just exactly that
Drag & Drop its as simple as that click on the file/folder keep it pressed down & move the file/folder to where you want it on your Mac
If its photo's drag them onto the iPhoto icon on the dock if its music drag it onto the iTunes icon documents into guess what documents
Hope this helps

How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

my older brother's 24" iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website.
We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well.
His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested replacing old mac with a newer one which we did.
I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!
Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac?
Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now.
Before his mac shut down, my brother thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Neil
Thanks that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.
I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from the old drive?
Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?
If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.? I may be wrong as its been a few years?
Again Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks
Bob
