Transferring logic 9 to new laptop

I bought an Imac 2 years ago with logic express 9 pre-installed. I am buying a new macbook pro soon and I need to know how to tansger logic express 9 to my new laptop. Any suggestions?

If Apple pre-installed LE9 for you, the installation disc & serial number should be included with your OS and applications installation discs and manuals. Your license allows you to install Logic on two computers as long as you are the only user and use it on one computer at a time.
If you did not get an LE9 installation DVD & serial number or cannot find it, or if you're hoping to have LE9 pre-installed on your new MacBook using your same license, I think you will need to contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

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.

Synching, transferring music between iPod, new laptop

Good morning all!
I recently have acquired a lovely new Dell laptop and would like to know which files I need to place on it so that iTunes and my iPod are once again happy friends and don't get into "no, I can't synch this" "yes I can but I'll have to wipe out what's on the ipod already" "no I can't" "yes I can neener neener neener" catfights.
First, a little history - bear with me, because my tale of woe is a long one.
My school-issued Acer laptop was where I kept most of my music; it played nicely with my iPod mini (synching things, the library and the iPod's contents the same, no complaints, etc) right up until the point where its hard drive failed in a slow, sure, and pathetically sticky way. (I will save my anti-Acer rants for the macbook forum. Before sending it off to get a new hard drive, we backed up its entire contents; most of those backups still remain (all of the My Documents folders, the iTunes program file folder, to name a few - the redundancies such as the Windows program files and many, many, many Word temp files were junked). Once the laptop came back, the iPod complained that it could not sync to the new library of stuff (which at that time was nothing, maybe one new downloaded song) without wiping out the entire rest of my collection. I grumbled and worked around it by having an on-computer iTunes library and when I wanted to listen to the stuff on my iPod while working on my computer, sitting there looking rather silly with my iPod sitting next to me.
Now that laptop has been turned back into the school (good riddance!!), and a full backup has been made of it.
I would like to know if it is possible to...
-Get my iPod mini so that it will play nicely with my new computer. In other words, is there a way that I can get it to sync while keeping the old music that is already on there?
-Ideally, I would like to also transfer the music that is on my iPod to my computer so that the iTunes library and iPod playlist are truly the same. How feasible is this?
-What files should I be looking to transfer to my new computer to do this? (The My Music folder, of which iTunes has a subfolder? The iTunes program file folder?)
-Are there any helpful programs, utilities or guides for doing just this? (Surely I can't be the first person to switch computers while using the same iPod. I would even venture to guess that I have skipped right over a guide here, I just need to be pointed towards it.)
-Will there be any problems connecting my iPod to a completely different laptop? I realize most safeguards are well-intentioned, but I would be very unhappy if my iPod saw my new laptop and went "What! You're trying to get all of your friends' music, you copyright-law-dodging theif!" and wiped its hard drive. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, here. (Incidentally, all of my music is paid for, or either transferred off my own CDs or found from garage-band-types who put their music free for download online - so it's taken awhile to put things together and while it could potentially be recovered I would be extremely unhappy to have it all deleted under some hyperprecaution put in by the RIAA - so I would really rather not have this happen, lol!)
If it helps: my iPod is set to be disk-style (i.e., yells at me to disconnect it properly, Windows sees it as a hard drive - this is mainly so I have a .txt file with my name/address on it and its name on there) (yes, my mini is named Timothy, lol), and my new laptop is operating under Windows Vista.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks muchly in advance!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Third party software for transferring music content to new laptop

Help! My laptop died and I need help finding a third party software to copy my music files and transfer them from my Iphone to my new laptop's Itunes. Apple tech support helped me set up Itunes and transfer my purchased content, but I have 1,000 songs left that I don't want to reload. I found a link to Aniosoft through searching the web, but wondered if anyone who has been in my shoes might be able to lend advice on how best to handle this.
Thanks, Sam

Probably doesn't have an external backup. Most people don't.
That I don't understand. As cheap as backup sources have become, there's really no excuse for not backing up. We probably get two or more posts a day...they all start the same way...my computer died...my life's work is on my phone...what can I do...I have no backup...
Think about that for a minute, why on earth would you store ANY valuable data on a phone, for crying out loud, & not have any backup?

Missing songs when transferring from old to new laptop

Hi
I have just moved my songs from old to new laptop. Unfortuantely it has not copied all of them over, when I try to play in itunes it asks me to locate them. I have checked what has copied over and it has definately left them off, problem is it's left off quite a lot. Was there something that I should have done on the old laptop before copying them to an external device?
sue

To do that, you need to go to "/Applications/System Preferences" then go to the "Accounts" prefpane, then click on the user you want to delete, then click on the minus button in the bottom left corner of the window, but make sure you are logged in as the good user to do this and that the good user is an administrator.

Transferring PSE 11 to new Laptop

Hi there
I'm just about to buy a new laptop (Sony Vaio Pro 13) and wondered how I would transfer my PSE11 from my Dell Windows XP laptop to the new Vaio which runs Windows 8. I haven't a disc for PSE11 as I upgraded and downloaded staright from the site.
Many thanks in advance.
Sam

Thanks Barbara - do I then need to do something to get all my photos / folders moved over?? I actually use an external hard drive so the photos will be in folders, but will that automatically mean I can see everything in PSE11 as I do now on my current laptop??
Many thanks

Transferring From iPod to New Laptop

I recently lost my whole hard drive and had to re-image my machine. I was able to add my back up files into my "new" iTunes, however there are about 500 songs that I had failed to back up onto disc that are still on my iPod. I was told by Apple that only purchased files can be transferred. Most of these files are an iTunes purchase but there are some tracks which I uploaded from CD's. Will those be lost? I'm afraid to synch my laptop and my iPod because I don't want to erase and synch with this limited library. How do I use my iPod as a storage medium and transfer all those files onto my machine?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

Transferring Itunes to my new laptop?

I have my itunes currently on my work laptop- I hae to give my laptop back and then I will get a new one, whats the best way to transfer my itunes libary?

Transfer the whole collection, then delete what's not yours.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

CS4 - how to transfer photos in bridge to new laptop (CS4 has been installed)

Purchased a new laptop (pc). The technician told me to deactivate CS4 on my old laptop before activating it on my new laptop. Did so. I asked that all my raw photos located in bridge be transferred over to my new laptop. It appears this did not take place. Maybe I can do this myself?

Your Raw files are in the directory you kept them. Bridge does not assign directories.
So do a simple .nef search (or whatever raw format you use) to locate and transfer your raw files over.
You can place them in any directory.
If you have keywords, you can also export those to your new Bridge. Bride has no activation so it should work on the old setup.
Go into the keywords panel, select export and use a thumb drive to move the .txt keyword file over to your new PC and them Import in the Keyword Panel menu.
