Reinstalled OS 10.6  can I retrieve software from the saved "old system" or do I need to reinstall?

Is there a way of dragging my software such as Adobe CS and Microsoft from the old system to the new system

It's not just dragging the apps, there are support files, hidden folders, preferences... some apps are tied to a specific machine...
You have to reinstall 98% of the time.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.

  • How can I download  software from the App store a second time?

    Hi,
    I purchased OS 10.7 from the App store because I no longer had the original discs from my computer.
    I downloaded it on to one of my computers, but now I want to put it on a second computer but the App Store say "You've already downloaded this " and I'm unable to get it. The App Store says I can download it 5 times...?
    Anyone know the solution?

    Go to your second computer, login to the App Store using the same AppleID you used when you purchased OS X Lion and download it from THAT computer. Or, since you mentioned you downloaded it to one computer and both computers are on the same local area network, share the Install OS X Lion.app file with your second computer or put it on an 8GB USB thumb drive, unplug the drive, plug it into your second computer and copy it to its /Applications folder.

  • I've deleted a single note page from my Notes and would like to restore it. How can I retrieve it from the trash?

    I've deleted a single note page from my iPad Notes and would like to retrieve it, since I can't remember everything I had on it. Is it possible to restore this note page that I deleted into the little trash barrel? Help! How do I get my note back?

    I'm worried that my iPad will automatically sync with iTunes when I connect.
    If that is what usually happens when you connect your iPad, - if that's how you have the iPad set up to sync - then yes it will sync automatically.
    You can open iTunes on your computer. Select Preferences from under the iTunes heading at the top menu. Then select Devices in the preferences pane. Click on the box that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then connect your iPad.
    You may have to launch iTunes on your own when you connect the iPad, but it should not sync automatically now.

  • Can you retrieve document from the output folder?

    OK, this was a stupid thing to do, I know.  But I'm hoping there is a solution.
    I spent the past two days editing a 600+ page document that I produced using the Printed Documentation SSL.  Unfortunately, I didn't copy it out of the output folder.  This morning, I inadvertently started to run the same SSL, but cancelled before it had a chance to generate.  Too late.  The "Clearing Output Folder" line already appeared in the log.
    Is there a way to retrieve the file once RoboHelp "clears" it?  At the moment, there is no file with that name in the output folder.
    Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

    Hi there
    I'm a simpleton at heart.
    Before attempting to resort to installing another application, have you looked inside the Recycle Bin?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can't Update Software from the App Store

    The app store will not download any sort of update (iTunes or System Update). I click "install" and I have to "Agree" twice. Then I select "Download & Restart". The progress bar pops up and says "installing" then goes away. Under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" it says has the "iTunes 12.1.2 update" and "OS X Yosemite Recovery Update" even though it never even downloaded and is still listed in the "Update Available" section along with "OS X Update 10.10.3 – Restart Required".
    Please help. Thanks!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /var/folders/zz
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Retrieve pics from the trash

    Can I retrieve pictures from the trash even after it's been emptied???
    I threw pics away and emptied the trash because I thought I had them saved to a disc, but now I'm finding out that not all of the pictures are opening from the disc. I am very frustrated!!!

    I like Data Rescue. You can download a trial to see if it will find the file before you pay to unlock its recovery features. You'll need an external drive (hard drive or flash) to recover to.
    With any data recovery software, you should use it as soon as possible, to avoid writing over the "free" space with new files.

    Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    You need a payment method associated with the country you are in.  I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account.  You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.

  • Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?

    Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?  I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro not starting up.  I need to figure out how to access files with my PPC Desktop; if possible. 
    What type of files can I access and what type I cannot?
    My Macbook Pro: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 750GB HD, 2.2 GHz, 6 GB RAM
    My PPC: Power mac G4/Upgraded 1.2GHZ /800+RAM/3 HD =400+ GB, Mac OS X (10.4.2)
    Thanks in advance,
    God bless 

    You will need software that is compatible with the data files on the backup drive, ie. if they are .doc files you will need Word (or a substitute).
    You don't mention what type of files are on the drive so it is hard to be specific.
