Question about migrating dreamweaver to new computer

I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to dreamweaver and I recently had to go out and get a new computer after cracking the screen of my old laptop.  Now I need to migrate dreamweaver onto my new system but also want to retain the directory structure of a few websites I work on... is there a way to move everything from one computer to another without affecting my site structure etc?

Do you have any ability to fire up DW on the old system?  If so, then do it.  Once started you should do these things:
1.  EXPORT all site definitions from DW's Site manager.  Save them to a thumb drive or a CD or a shared network drive so you can get at them on the new computer.
2.  If you have any custom Snippets, Server Behaviors, or any other custom configurations, put your user configuration folder on that same medium so you can get at it.
3.  Then you should copy ALL the root folders of all the websites you have on the laptop to your portable medium.
4.  Under HELP, De-activate the laptop's DW, and exit.
On the new computer, install DW, provide the S/N, IMPORT the site definitions, and start DW.  Then exit DW, copy the configuration folders you saved to the new Configuration folder in the user section, copy the root folders of the websites to the same location on the new computer, and you're ready to roll....
If you cannot start the old computer, then you'll have to just install DW, recreate the site definitions, connect to each site and download the files.  You will need to contact Adobe and restore one activation since you can't de-activate the copy of DW on the laptop.
Good luck!

  • QUICK QUESTION-About to set up new computer...

    Thanks in advance. I have an old 17" Macbook Pro and just got a new Macbook Pro Retina. I have each of them side by side ready to send all of my data from the old computer to the new computer, but I have not turned on the new computer yet. I don't want to screw up my iCloud ecosystem. So, my question is: In order to avoid any icloud issues, should I log out of iCloud and turn wifi off on my old computer before I start the migration assistant? Then, when it is done, I plan on logging into iCloud on the new computer and erase the old computer....I am hoping this will be a seamless transition as much as it can be.
    Any input you can give me before I do this would be great. Thanks!

    What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system are involved?
    Adobe allows for the use of that one purchased Premiere Elements serial number on no more than 2 of your computers.
    If you have this purchased Premiere Elements serial number already on 2 of your computers and the new computer represents a 3rd computer, then you have to deactivate (Premiere Elements 8 or later under Help Menu/Deactivate) before uninstall.
    Looking forward to more details and your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Questions about InDesign CC performance / new computer?

    I have some questions and was hoping I could get some answers here.
    Due to poor performance in InDesign CC I have considered getting a new computer. I work with around 100 or so images, lots of text, all usually with bevels, shadows and other effects applied.
    Simply put, moving anything like an image or text, and dragging around the screen is quite slow. Some move operations take up to 10 seconds before they actually happen. It's disruptive, and my efficiency could be greatly improved if I could get rid of these issues.
    I'm wanting to know what I can do to improve this. I've messed around with the display performance settings, but ultimately it's a hassle and somewhat difficult to work with them turned down -- and I really want to avoid doing that.
    The system I'm using is a 2008 Mac Pro w/ a dual quad-core @ 2.8GHz, 16GB RAM, and a GTX 285 1GB on Mavericks. I've also packaged up my file and tested it on a 2013 iMac w/ i5 3.4GHz quad, 16GB RAM, GTX 775M 2GB on Yosemite. One CPU core (and only one) was pegged at 100% immediately after moving or doing anything on the page -- even dragging around got it up to 80-90% or more. Performance was a bit better on the newer Mac, but still bad.
    What I want to ask is, what's important for InDesign? Graphics power? VRAM? CPU power? Cores? RAM and RAM speed? It doesn't seem to me that InDesign CC uses more than one core. Is there anything I can do to improve this?
    Would greatly appreciate any information!
    Kind Regards

  • Question about Ipod Setup On New Computer

    Hi, the laptop that i had itunes on and stored all my music/playlists crashed, so i was thinking about setting up my ipod on another new computer. If I set it up and connect the ipod again, what will happen to my music library stored on my ipod. Will it be transfered to the new itunes on the new computer, or will the new itunes simply clear my ipod of all the songs that i have previousaly collected? thanks in advance

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    By default the new installation of iTunes will clear your iPod of all the songs. It seems to me you will need to get the songs on your iPod to your new computer.

  • Application Software (example Microsoft Office) does or does not migrate to the new computer

    From a software standpoint, when you use data migration Mac to Mac or PC to MAC, why application software, like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, sometime are able to move (migrate) to the new computer without any issues and sometimes the user must BUY again the software?
    Technicians told me that sometimes the Migration Data is capable to migrate the Software Serial Number of the software and sometimes does not.
    But, what is the real techincal answer? What happens to the serial number when you migrate?

    Depends on how the App stores the serial number. Some apps fail when the file that holds the serial number gets moved and must be reinstalled.
    None of that requires you to purchase it again. You just have to install it using the key you were provided with the software.
    No apps will be migrated from a PC as they will not work with OS X.
    Office 2004 will not Migrate as it doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

  • How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?

    How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
    I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
    Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.

    Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it.

  • How do I identify and get the playlists to migrate to my new computer?

    I have an external harddrive with all my ITunes playlists on it.  The library migrated OK.  How do I identify the playlists and get them to migrate to my new computer???

    You would have had a quicker response if you had posted in the iTunes forum.
    You need to copy the iTunes folder, the one at the top not the iTunes Music library folder to your new computer to move your playlists.

  • Will my Adobe programs migrate to a new computer

    My 6 year old iMac has finally bit the dust. It won't start under any circumstances.  Fortunately, I use TIme Machine so everything is backed up.
    But I am wondering if my Adobe programs, such as PS, Elements & Lightroom will properly migrate to my new computer using Time Machine?
    Or will I need to find the original installation disks (recently moved & can't find the PS one, and LR & Elements I loaded online)?

    coachgns, I've given this some serious thought.
    You would first have to boot off the recovery partition to restore from Time Machine and it would wipe your new OS and everything that came with it, iLife iWorks and so on.
    You would be replacing it with older OS software and apps that would probably not play well with the new hardware. I don't want you to have more problems than you need.
    For OS 10.8.5, legacy PPC apps are no longer supported.
    I've only done full restore to the same hardware. You are doing this to a nice new machine and if there is an Apple Store nearby, get an appointment with them on how to best migrate everything off Time Machine to your new Mac.
    As for Adobe products,only the Intel based ones can be reinstalled. Photoshop CS3 and later as an example.

  • IPhoto did not migrate photos to new computer

    Actually 2 questions. Some background.
    Old computer: iMac late 2006 running 10.6.8, iPhoto 8.1.2
    New computer iMac late 2013 running Mavericks iPhoto 8.1.2
    During set up of new computer had a power interruption and did a recovery.  Instead of Mavericks the
    recovery was  Mountain Lion and I had to upgrade to Mavericks. The Mavericks upgrade did not include iLife updates.
    So, back to the original question.  When using Migration the photos on the old iMac did NOT transfer to the new iMac. How can I transfer the library?  There are too many photos for a dvd.
    And finally, The latest version of iLife did not D/L with the Mavericks upgrade and they would like me to pay for it even though it was on the new iMac originally.
    Any way around this obstacle?
    David Hill

    The Mavericks upgrade did not include iLife updates.
    That is normal.  The iLife applications come with a new computer or have to be purchased. They are not standard applications of a system upgrade.  With Mavericks you need to purchase an upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1. if your new computer did not come with iPhoto '11 installed.
    When using Migration the photos on the old iMac did NOT transfer to the new iMac. How can I transfer the library?
    Which options did you use to migrate?  By default the setup assistant or Migration Assistant will transfer your complete Home folder, if you do not deselect it. Or is your if Library not in the default location in the Pictures folder?
    You could copy the iPhoto library to an external drive and transfer it this way or connect the two macs in Target Mode:  See: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    The latest version of iLife did not D/L with the Mavericks upgrade and they would like me to pay for it even though it was on the new iMac originally.
    If iLife was installed on your new Mac, look at the "Purchased" tab at the App Store. You may need to "accept" the iLife applications to your Apple ID. See this document:
    Accept iLife: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Scroll down to the paragraph "Restoring iLIfe after Reinstalling ..."

  • Questions about Migration Assistant

    I'm getting ready to move the contents of my G4 iBook to a new Intel-powered MacBook. I assume Apple's Migration Assistant can handle a lion's share of that job but I have a question...can I change the UserName (and ShortName) on the new computer and still migrate everything over with the Apple utility? For example, a particular concern is how to handle the information contained in Keychain. When that file gets moved over, how do I make it the default Keychain and set it to unlock with the new computer's password?
    And any other issues I should be aware of when moving from a G4 machine?

    Actually you cannot migrate a user folder that has the same name as one already created. However, because you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac there are some cautions of which you need be aware:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    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 or G4 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 (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
    MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. 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.
    4. 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/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /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 another forum user 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.
    Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
    Be careful about what you migrate. Migrating an entire user folder is not a good idea when moving from PPC to Intel. Stick to your movable folders as described above.
    PPC applications may not work after migration. If they don't then simply reinstall them.

  • Migrating to a new computer

    Hi,
    This is a simple question, but some rudimentary searching has not given me a definitive answer:
    I am moving from the UK to Asia. I am leaving my current laptop, with iTunes 8.2.0.23, in England and will buy a new computer when I arrive, onto which I will install iTunes afresh. I don't have a DVD/CD burner, but I am taking a large external hard drive with all my data, along with my iPod Classic (30Gb). I have backed up my iTunes library (the entire folder kept in My Music) to the external hard drive. When I start using my new computer will I simply be able to copy this iTunes library to the new computer and be able to use my iPod with it? Or is there some form of copy-protection that will prevent my back-up being used on a new computer?
    I will be migrating from and to a Windows XP system.
    99% of my music is from CD import (I obviously don't want to carry hundreds of CDs around the world); the rest is downloads from iTunes store. My great fear is that I will get the new computer and find that I can no longer access all my music.
    Thanks for any help
    Jon

    Welcome to AD!
    When you start itunes on the new PC. press and hold the shift key. Browse to the exHD copy of iTunesLibrary.itl, and everything should be there.
    Here is a good article on moving iTunes to a new PC.
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
    You'll have to authorize the new PC. I assume that will work even though you've moved, but I don't think you are supposed to buy any new UK content while outside of the UK.

  • Install dreamweaver on new computer with original .dmg?

    Hi, I have Dreamweaver CS3 on a computer (Mac, running OSX Tiger) that I will be replacing with an iMac running Snow Leopard. My license is well within the 3 year limit--actually, less than 2 years. But the link on my order history is nonfunctional, and after 2 hours on line with Adobe, they tell me they will not be able to let me download again. They want me to upgrade (would be nice, but I can't afford to do right now, plus that is irrelevant to my license!) The question is:  I have the original .dmg file still on my computer. Could I use this to put Dreamweaver on my new computer?  Thanks for the help!

    A .dmg file is a disk image. One mounts the disk and it acts as a virtual drive. You should have no problems with the installation, assuming you are not required to type in a license number or you have the license number for your Adobe product.
    Essentially, what you are doing is moving the application to another computer and this is entirely within the scope of your license.
    What you need to do on the computer you are retiring is deactivate the copy on the outgoing computer.
    Then just install on your new one from your .dmg file.
    Type in the serial number.
    Activate.
    Use.
