Transferring Old CS4 from my old Mac to my New Mac Error 6.

I am trying to transfer my old CS4 from my old Mac to a new Mac which doesn't have a disc drive. I copied all the files to a memory stick and the pulled them from the stick into the application folder on my new Mac but the software will not start and say Licensing Error 6.
It this the right way to transfer my old CS4 from my old Mac to the new one which doesn't have a disc drive? and if so what does Error 6 mean and how to I get that sorted so I can work with my CS4 on my new Mac?
Also I would like to have PS and AI in my doc - I am so bad to computer stuff so please explain it all in very plain language. ( :
Kind Regards

You can't do that. Download the most current version of PS CS4 for Mac from the Adobe download site and install it. Then you can copy over your preference file and any edits you have done in PS CS4 from the old Mac.
But if this new Mac you have is running Mavericks or Yosemite CS4 might not work on those newer versions of OS X. Not sure, I gave up on Mac OS X about a year ago.

Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

Short answer is now. Any app that was developed on
for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
However, You can create a Windows environment on
a Mac by 2 methods. The first, create a dual boot
machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
seperate partion and then select which operating system
to boot into. The second is using virtual machine products
such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop Mac. You
basically create a virtual Windows environment that
runs along side and concurrent with OSX.
Not sure how well this second approach will work with
any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

Transferring CS4 from an old Mac to a new one, I get a notice saying "licensing for this product has stopped working" Error 150:30. Don't know what to do? Thanks.

I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.

"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download.

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

HT4889 How do I get the files that transferred from my old mac to this new mac to all merge so I am not using 2 set ups? In other words, I have stuff on the "new mac" and everything else on the "old mac" even though they are on the same computer.

I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac. I need everything merged to one account.
Thanks!

Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

The file should still be listed by name under, "Open Recent."

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac? When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Help! I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive. What did I do and how do I fix it?

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Transferring itunes songs from my old PC to my new Mac?

Hi all,
Whats the best way to transfer all my music (itunes) tracks from my work PC to my new Mac that i use at home. Is it as simple as just copying my existing music libraries onto a memory stick and then just copying over to the Mac? And you know (or not!) in Windows how in My Documents it has that My Music folder in which to store all your songs? Where do i save them in the Mac?? I guess same can be said for all my photos too.
Also i got a Firewire cable but i just noticed that my PC doesn't have a connection for it (i was going to use this to help transfer over my files to the Mac). So do i need something else?
Any answers greatly appreciated!

When you open Finder, you should see on the left hand side, things like "Music", "Pictures".
Those are essentially like what you have in My Documents.
If you're using iTunes, whatever you play in there should automatically go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. It organizes the iTunes Music folder into more folders by artist names.
What I'd suggest doing is put your music on a memory stick, drag it into the iTunes program, then eject the memory stick. Then you'll find all your music stored and organized in the iTunes Music folder

How can I remove Photoshop/lightroom/bridge from my old mac to my new mac?

I bought from Adobe the package with ps/lr/br and payed already for a year.

Install the Creative Cloud manager on the new machine and load up the applications from there.

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?
