Transferred backup file from old to new laptop but can't open backup file in new iTunes

Hi
I've purchased the new iPhone 5, however, it won't allow me to backup from my iTunes from my old laptop (where my 4S's backup was) because iTunes 10.7 can't operate on OSX 10.5.8. So I transferred the backup file onto my new macbook air. When I plugged my new phone into the laptop and opened up iTunes, where can I find the option to set up my phone according to the backup that I transferred to the new macbook?
Thanks!

I bought a new laptop and moved my library from my old pc to the new laptop. I can see it in the Music folder, but can't simply move from Music to the play list. I have manually moved songs from Music to the playlist, but it won't sync with my iphone. Any suggestions?

Yes.
Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

I'm working on the 30 day trial Photoshop CC on my laptop but can't open it on my school's paid Photoshop CC 2014. What do I do to open it?

Your question is confusing. Are you trying to open your 30 day trial on the school computer or are you trying to bring the school's version on your computer? What is the end goal? Is it to retrieve your files from creative cloud?
I personally would use Dropbox if that is the goal.

Safari downloads but can't open dowloaded file

I am a brand new Mac user. I have been reading posts and posts but can't seem to figure out my problem. I will try to download video content or download a software but after the file is downloaded, when trying to retrieve file an error msg keeps appearing "safari can't open because no program associated". In my preferences, its downloading to desktop and I have tried downloading to other applications ie quicktime (but says quicktime error reading files). I can't seem to open any downloads at all....for example i am downloading flash player for macs but i keep getting that safari error message, help??

you might need stuffit expander or maybe since safari is showng that message somehow maybe your primary installer got corrupt i would try an archive and install because that message is odd but first try to download stuffit if it wont download then somethings corrupt and if you call apple theyll just tell you to archive and install with a problem like this

Users can see, but can't open image files

We store all of our digital photos (jpg's) on an Xserve RAID attached to an Xserve.
Twice in the last 3 weeks I have started getting calls from staff members to tell me that they can see the files but can't open them.
The jpg files aren't recognized.
If I click on a file from my iMac I get the following message:
"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
If I reboot the server. The problem goes away. The files aren't corrupt and people can access them again. I saw this three weeks and then again today, so it's not like it happens every day.
Even though I connect from a Mac, most of my users are Windows users connecting via Samba.
We are using RAID Admin: 1.5 and Firmware ver.: 1.5-1.5.xfb
Mac OSX Server is 10.4.1
Any ideas why this happens?

Does the same thing happen with files that are on the local drive? That would be the first thing I'd check.
Any reason you're running 10.4.1 server and not 10.4.3? There were tons of fixes in 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 around the file system... I'd recommend the update strongly.

I have downloaded files that Have the firefox logo but can't open them?

I download digi images and svgs from blogs...but i cant open firefox files..have Windows7 Premium

What happens if you open such a file in Firefox via File > Open File?
SVG files are XML files, do you see the source code of such a file?
What kind of files are those digi images?
If they are JPG or PNG image files then make sure that they have the correct file extension.

The files are no longer available. How can I open these files again?

Hi markkanselaar,
Did you have files uploaded to Acrobat.com that are no longer there? If so, please log out and clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. If the files still aren't there (and you didn't delete them), then try logging in using another supported browser (System requirements | Acrobat.com).
Best,

I can see thumbnail but can't open psd file,photoshop 7

I have no idea to what is going on, but I did all this work and now that I try to reopen the psd file, I can't.
I don't see anything, no layer, no photo nothing.
I am using window xp. got the scratch setup on an external drive with plenty of space. got 4gof memory and plenty of processing power.
once again I can see the thumbnail but can't open the psd file.
Thank you for your help.

I got it to work. I think my main problem was since my psd file crashed I was using existing pdf to save as psd. well that didn't go well with photoshop. Plus the fact my scratch was in an external location. Once I recreated the drawing and installed an additional hard-drive where I relocated the scratch file I was set to go. I now can save and reopen the file with no issues.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me with this issue.

Transferred my Library to new laptop, but how to associate/sync iPhone with new laptop?

I got a new laptop. The old laptop is still working. I transferred my library using the Home Sharing method and all of my items were moved except my apps. I plugged in my iPhone to the new computer and used "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" option and all of my apps were added to the library. But, now I don't know how to associate the iPhone with the new computer. When I plug in my iPhone to the new computer. It starts to sync. It says steps 1 through 3, spins for 20 seconds and says complete, but nothing was done. I do not get the "this iPhone is associated with another library" message when I plug it in to new computer, perhaps because I've authorized both computers. All I can find in my searches is how to avoid losing all of your data and how to transfer your library, but none has dealt with this exact situation. I am stumped as to how to get iPhone associated with new computer. Can I transfer my backup from the old computer and restore from backup? Other thoughts? Sorry if the answer is somewhere (I'm sure it is), but I have spent two days looking.

Randers4, so I carefully followed the directions (only one that confused me was about adding a fake address/calendar entry, is that for Macs, I'm using a PC?.) I restored it from the backup and everything looked good. I had hope, the final step says to sync it and when I did, I had the exact same problem. It spun, went quickly through only 3 steps (even though there were 7 sync steps with my old laptop) and nothing changed. It clearly didn't sync.
So, I had an idea that I would back up everything by right clicking in the left pane and forcing a back up on the new computer, and then erasing the entire phone and then restoring from the backup I just made to see if that would make a difference. So, after I tried that and it restored, it was weird. All of my settings were there. Some folders were there, my pictures were there, but all of my apps, folders, music and video was missing and it still wouldn't sync. So, then I had to plug it back into my old laptop and do a restore from there to get that stuff back.
Shouldn't I get a message when I plug the iPhone into the new laptop saying this phone is connected to another computer? I tried "Reset Warning Messages" but it doesn't do anything. At this point, I don't care if I lose some of the stuff from my iPhone (texts, etc)...but I want it to sync to the new computer because my old laptop is on its death bed.
So frustrating, all of my iTunes content is on the new computer, the only piece that is missing is getting it to "talk" to the iPhone. Times like this I wish I wasn't a poor teacher and could afford to get a nice Mac laptop.
