Second installation possible on new machine?

Hello. I have a copy of DW MX 04 that I bought back then. It was residing on my Dell. Now I have a Macintosh using the Leopard OS and want to install that software. It will install but won't work, telling me I need a new serial number. Can't I run my copy of this software on this new computer? HOW? I spent four hours on chat and the phone with some nicve people in India today and got nowhere.
Thanks for any advice. I know someone out there has run into this one before!

Understood although you could apply the same argument to 32 bit and 64 bit code with the opposite conclusion, couldn't you? Completely different code but the same serial no because it's the same side of the OS fence.
How strong is the link between engineering effort and final price charged to the end user, especially given the extreme difference in pricing for identical Adobe products on the same OS in different countries? Local taxes only account for a fraction of the difference.
Seems to me that whatever the market will pay is what they'll charge so I'm not clear on the reasons for not offering serial numbers which work on both Windows and Mac.

How to move an Oracle VM Manager installation to a new machine

Hi, i currently have a VM Manager running on a multi-boot machine along with Windows. I now want to use a laptop to run VM Manager against the same VM server as my old installation. How can this be accomplished? Can i do a new fresh install and migrate the settings from the old one or can i import vm's from the VM server directly?
Or can the backup/restore option of the Vm Manager be used?
Regards
SG

Hi, thanks again but it is not the Virtual Machine i want to migrate, it is the VM Manager instance including the Oracle XE DB with the repository containing all the info about my VM Server. The most likely solution i have been able to find is to backup the the VM Manager on my existing machine and then install a new fresh VM Manager instance on a new machine and the restore the backup to the new machine. Anybody done this with success?

CS6 installation unsuccessful on new machine. OS/Display requirement issues, Error 6, but same installation worked fine on old laptop w/ worse specs..?

I am having trouble installing Adobe Master Collection CS6 on my new laptop. I encounter Error 6 when I try installing PS, AI, and ID, and it says I am not meeting OS requirements. Illustrator prompts another error: Display requirements not met. ( I'm very confused, because the same installation worked just fine on my old machine... No errors when I did it the first time. I have no idea why I'm running into errors now?) I'm getting warning DW066, DW065, DF029, fatal DS003, and error DW050.

After fresh installation on a new machine, my licensed copy of Adobe Encore CS6 "cannot run in non-royalty serialized mode."

"The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number."
I have done everything recommended in all of the other threads relating to this issue -
Uninstalled the entire CS and used the Adobe cleaner tool - to no avail.
Uninstalled just Encore and re-installed, nothing.
And multiple combinations of the above mentioned.
Really need this to work, ASAP. We've tried to contact Adobe via phone, chat, and other means. They are very to receive an audience from, it appears. Can anyone offer a different solution?
This is for a brand new edit suite that is running Windows 7 pro, 32 GB of RAM, and the [email protected] GHz.

I did not see this earlier. Forums are a bit odd today.
Do you have a subscription (to the cloud) or is this a perpetual license? You cannot run Encore in trial mode.
Generally, with CS6 suite (or earlier?) this indicated that Premiere is not activated, or there is a problem with activation. What version are you trying to install?
Unfortunately, the link that tells you how to fix this went missing in action some time ago.

Second installation of Photoshop and Lightroom on new iMac shown as 30 day trials

I have just installed Photoshop and Lightroom on a second Mac and these versions are shown as 30 day trials. According to the T's and C's, I can legally install both products on 2 separate machines. How can I convince CC that the installations on the new machine are not trial versions?
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for your response.
It seems that it may have been an activation error - I signed in to the CC and the problem semi-disappeared. Photoshop is now happy but Lightroom is still counting down in the trial period. When it expires I should be able to re-install it.

Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

Yosemite down to Mavericks on new machine, possible?

I just tried Yosemite on a couple of machines (including 13' RMBP, 15' RMBP, and Late 2014 Mac mini) in the Apple Store in Hong Kong IFC, but honestly I think the new Yosemite is far from perfect as an operating system, especially for a user that has been using MacBook Air for 2 years.
The question is: Is it possible if I buy a new Mac packed with Yosemite then I downgrade to Mavericks? Is it do-able?
Background: I'm looking for a new machine to replace my home computer, right now I'm interested in the new Mac mini. But I can say the performance of the OS is really not pleasing me, it took 1 minute 13 seconds to boot up (yes, I timed). And I was told by Apple Store people that even higher-spec unit only has 30% performance improvement at most.
Thanks.

My system takes 15 seconds, so either the machine you used was not working properly or you used a really slow watch. The 2014 MBPs both come with Mavericks installed unless they are coming from the factory since the release of Yosemite in which case they most likely have Yosemite installed.
If you have a Mavericks installer for 10.9.5, then you could install it safely on the 2014 MBPs. But you will not be able to download Mavericks now that Yosemite has been released.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

The iPhone is not a backup device.
Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it.

Load old version on new machine via CC... possible?

So if anyone is unsure why I need to do this either read my older post (Re: Walking yesterday. Crawling today.) or just look at the top 100 current forum posts concerning the latest updates at any given moment.
In a nutshell I am building a new super machine (so that Adobe can still copy paste their canned "It's your system" response to all of my future problem posts) and I have a large project (short film, hundreds of clips, tons of audio, lots of masks and CC) currently on an old machine using PPro 2014.0 single barrel. I would like to know if it is possible for me to transfer over the entire project/media files to the new machine and load it right into 2014.0 single barrel on the new machine so I can just get this project completed and delivered without nary a hiccup before daring to smoke test the... >GULP!<... latest PPro version on a far less involved/lucrative project.
I feel like when the new machine is ready and I go to download PPro its going to force the latest version on me... is there a way to select a legacy version? Would loading the latest version and then rolling back (like I have done in my current situation) work if the new machine has never had the older version?
Full disclosure I've never transferred projects to new software versions, let alone new machines, in my life... so any insight that spells things out as if I'm in 8th grade would be greatly appreciated.
Excelsior!

Well I really (read as REALLY) want to just finish this project so the plan was to go into a test mindset after it was in the can. So get over to the new computer, finish a few tweaks and render it off the new box. Then I am fully prepared to go into test mode.
But in theory, sans the time it would take to try/fail/rollback, I suppose you are right. So maybe, but you have prolly gathered which way I am leaning -- Thanks shooternz
>> "and thousands of editors are cutting away without issues."
I'd question those numbers, or the ability to even project them, but regardless I am simply one of the lowly hundreds. I am far more confident and vindicated about my experience/feelings concerning this release than I was when I originally shared my story.

Possible to just swap monitor profile onto new machine?

Might have to get some more horsepower in quick.
At the moment though, we don't have the time to set up the new machines beyond 30 mins or so... so is there any catch/problem to pulling off the monitor profile off an old machine and using it on a new machine if it's driving the very same monitor?
just wondering if there's some monkeying beyond that i'm not aware of... jumping from 10.4.11 to whatever the latest kitty litter is as well.
cheers

yep, that was my thinking mike.
if it was 100% safe i'd do it, but it means re-calibrating monitors, which we're happy with for the short term.
problem is that the calibration will monkey with the monitor's hardware, which makes back tracking impossible as well.
just wanted to add some horsepower onto a project without upsetting the apple cart.

How can I get a Mac to redo the new machine setup?

Hey gang-
Is there a way to get a Mac to redo the new machine setup dialogs the way a Mac does the first time it is started out of the box? I'm selling my iBook and it would be nice for the new owner to be presented with that. I know I could do it by erasing and reinstalling the original CDs, but I'd like to include the various incremental Software Updates that I've done to save the new user the trouble.
Is there a way to get a Mac to do this?
Thanks!
Dave

John's method may work for the most part, but there are some things to be aware of that might cause problems for you or the new owner.
First, it doesn't get rid of everything you have installed or caused to be created in /Library or any of the caches except those in the /User folder. Some of the /Library items are probably things you want to pass on to the new owner, such as plug-ins that support apps. Some aren't, such as many of the /Library/Preferences items set by an admin user. Some may even contain sensitive data.
Second, you will be passing on a lot of clutter of dubious value to the new user, like logs, & any corruption of files that an Erase & Install would get rid of.
Third, Setup Assistant may or may not be designed to work & play well with updated apps & system components. This is unchartered territory. It may "undo" some of the things you want the new owner to have, or not.
Forth, if you have set up, for example, the Apache web server or any other UNIX-based service that required root or sudo access, these files will not necessarily be in their default state.
Fifth, there may be support items in /Users/Shared for both Apple & third party apps. John's step 4 will erase them.
Sixth, you need to consider OS 9 folders if you have used Classic, particularly if you have migrated anything from an older Mac. You may have user items, preferences, etc. that need to be purged.
Seventh, I probably have forgotten other things that more knowledgeable folk can fill you in on.
So, while it is possible to do what you want, it isn't really as easy as it seems. A better approach, & one that will serve both you & the new owner better in the long run, is to completely wipe the drive with a secure erase. Consider making a "bonus" CD or DVD for the new owner with all the latest updates, as a companion to the original installer set.
Something else to consider: If the Mac that you are putting up for sale did not come with Tiger, you can't include it legally in your sale unless you include the retail DVD & license you used to install it. The same is true of any apps that you might have added to the used Mac, including shareware you payed for. Aside from the ethical implications, you do not want to run into problems because of "shared" registration codes should you need them for support or upgrades.

What's the 411 on the new machine?

i have a first generation mac pro (2006) and it is getting time for an upgrade partly due to my need to upgrade OS to match my laptop. i have a couple of boot camp installations to run windows xp and windows 7 so i am half thinking of keeping my old machine and buying a new one just for mac OS and a parallels installation with windows 7.
i have a pretty solid backup routine here where i have two operating drives in the mac pro (one for the OS is 1 TB and one for the DATA is 2 TB) and the two other drives in the mac pro backup these two drives (so these are internal backups). then i basically have an external clone of the data and a time machine backup of the data. then i also keep an "off site" backup of both of these drives in my truck.
this took quite awhile to figure out and set up so i am a little leery of figuring this out again but i am also somewhat leery of having to drop +/- $1000 on externals to get the new desktop backed up with proper external drives.
can anyone help me figure out if this new machine has a good chance of being as good as my old desktop? whether i should wait until the second generation comes out. what features i should look for and or watch out for? what kind of externals i will need to get up and running?
i don't really want to spend the time and cash on this but if it buys me another 5 - 6 years of low hassle computing on the newer OS's it will be worth it.
THANKS

Is it possible to make this QT-X "pro", so it does all the stuff QT7 did?
No, not at this time. QT 7 represents a decade of "old technology" enhancements. QT X is a "new technology" re-write and is still in its infancy. (I.e., definitely "not ready for prime time" yet.) As such, it will likely continue to evolve over the next decade.
Or failing that, what's the new procedure that the geniuses from Cuppertino want us to use now?
Can't speak for Apple, but most of the regular QT 7 Pro users simply continue to use it. If your system was upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard by yourself and previously had QT 7 Pro installed, it should have been moved from the "Applications" folder to the "Utilities" folder automatically. If a new system and the QT 7 Player is not already installed in the Utilities folder ready for keying for Pro use, then you can install it from your included discs or download the Snow Leopard compatible version of the QT 7.6.6 Player from Apple's site HERE. Be advised that you must use a QT version modified for the dual 32-/64-bit mode environment and not the regular QT 7.6.6 version for Leopard.
