Transfer to another computer

I have Bootcamp installed on my iMac running Windows 7 Home Professional and am considering purchase of a Windows machine. I would like to easily transfer my installed applications and data to the windows machine. Can anyone give me the best way to do this?
Thanks,

I don't think you can 'transfer' applications in MS Windows. The reason being, the Windows Registry. Each one is unique to a machine, and you can't just copy a Registry from one to another. I think you'll have to reinstall the applications, and then copy any 'data' you may have from one system to the other.

Acrobat 9 standard wont transfer to another computer

Hello, I tried to transfer my Acrobat 9 Standard software to another computer and it failed. I deactivated the current install, went to the new computer and couldn't activate my copy. It says I have an invalid serial number.
Any advice would be awesome! I don't want to have to buy Acrobat XI--****'s expensive.
Thanks

Was your AA9 and upgrade or the full version. If an upgrade, it may be that you are being asked for the qualifying product S/N, not the XI S/N.

Do image files adjusted in Lightroom transfer to another computer if you need to reload the files?

I'm used to making adjustments in Camera RAW and copying the image files for use on multiple workstations. In this case, my adjustments go with the image file. If I make my adjustments using Lightroom and move the image files to another computer will I lose those adjustments? I wonder if I invest all my adjustment time using Lightroom and my computer crashes will I lose those adjustments even though I am backing up my files to an external drive.

You wrote: " If I make my adjustments using Lightroom and move the image files to another computer will I lose those adjustments?"
Yes, you will loose them unless you save to xmp. You save to xmp by either pressing Ctrl / Cmd + letter "S" or
a) in the Library Module you go >Metadata >Save Metadata to File, or
b) in the Develop Module you go >Photo >Save metadata to file.
Without <Saving metadata to file> Lr writes the edits into the catalog only. And, if you transfer images without the catalog to another computer your edits will be lost on the second computer.
By <Saving metadata to file> a xmp sidecar file will be created that stores the edits. In case of a DNG the edits are not written into Xmp but into the file header - same effect.
Note though that not everything can be stored in xmp-files. For instance collections, stacking are stored in the catalog only.
This is presumably so because the save to xmp was created in order that Lr adjustment can be viewed in other Adobe products (for instance in Bridge). Naturally, only those "features" need to be written into xmp that the other program can display.

You can merge the two domain files into one domain file with iWebSites.

How to transfer to another computer

how do i transfer photoshop from one computer to another

thanks ned i am having trouble finding my product registration i downloaded it from the net. but when i log in it does not list it

After croping a photo I sometimes cannot drag the photo to a SD chip or usb storage disk for transfer to another computer.

some photo file that are edited (croped etc) are rejected when I attempt to drag into a SD chip or usb stick. the icon show a / instead of the + and does not allow the transfer of the file. any idea why some files after editing are rejected for transfer to a S/D chip.

And what does happen?
Have you selected one of the problem photos and right clicked and said to show file and see what you get?
What else have you tried?
We can make much better guesses if we have some information other than it does not work

LR 5 catalouge transfer to another computer

I have been doing work on my laptop with LR5 and now I want to transfer the file to my desktop LR5 but make sure everything goes along that i have done. Can you tell me how to do this correctly?
Herman

Ms Paige I want to thank you for your response but I want to make sure your understand my questions before I move on.
I currently have LR5 on both my laptop which I use when I travel and desktop which I normally use for most of my work with storage to external drives.
Recently I was on a trip and not only downloaded my photos from the trip to my laptop but actually did all of the adjustments on that laptop and it is now in my catalogue on the laptop. I want to now move that trip file to my desktop catalogue with all of the changes I have made while still keeping the LR on my laptop. Will the instructions you have provided assure that I will be able to make the transfers without any problems to those files?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Transfer Album Artwork to another computer?

Most of my album artwork has been retrieved automatically using the "Get Album Artwork" command in iTunes. Other album artwork has been copied from amazon.com or other sites. Where exactly does all this artwork get stored? How can I transfer album artwork to another computer? I see album artwork docs stored in 4 folders:
1) C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Download
2) C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Local
and ALSO in:
3) C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Download
4) C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Local
To backup/transfer to another computer, which of these 4 folders do I need? Why are there 4? How can I combine to 1 or 2? Do I simply copy folders from one computer to another? Which folder(s)? My iTunes library is on an ext hard drive, but the album artwork is on the C drive. I backup/transfer the itunes library by connecting my ext hard drive to the 2nd computer, and hit "Add Folder to Library", but don't know how to properly transfer the artwork folder(s). Thanks for the help!

Hi Pete,
You would copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the other computer. Put the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder of the other computer (make sure there is no library with the same name in the Pictures folder. If there is rename it.
Does the other computer have the same version of iPhoto? does the other computer already have photos in the library.
What do you want to do if there is another library on the other computer?
Copy iPhoto Library folder from one Mac to another
-If the library is small enough, burn the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to CD/DVD.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the CD/DVD to your Pictures folder of the iMac.
-If the computers are networked, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have an iPod, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the iPod. Connect the iPod to the other computer and copy the iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have a firewire cable, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto LIbrary folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac
Things to keep in mind:
-If the usersnames are different you might have to set the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder to Read/Write for the new user. Check the "apply to enclosed items" at the bottom of the "get info" window.
-If there is another iPhoto Library folder on the other Mac, change it's name so it doesn't get replaced by the iPhoto Library folder you are copying into the Pictures folder...or....drag it to another place on your hard drive.

I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free
let me know if that works for you.

How do I transfer an iTunes gift card balance to another computer?

How do I transfer an iTunes gift card balance to another computer?
I redeemed an iTunes gift card on one computer in the house, but don't have a home network/sharing set up. I want to be able to use that balance on another computer in the house. Any ideas?
Thanks!

+When I use this computer to order something, the charge is placed on my credit card that I used for the account and the iTunes card balance is not getting deducted.+
Sounds like you live in Canada and are buying apps. Gift card in Canada can only be used for music and movies, not apps. The apps will use the credit card instead.

How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
be able to give a person's site to them.
I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
of mine?
thank you in advance,
Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.
