  • Trying to Transfer Quark to a new Mac

    I have a new Mac. Both the new Mac and old Mac have Lion.
    I am trying to transfer QuarkXpress to the new Mac.
    I get an error message on the new Mac that it can't be done because I don't have permission to read the file.
    On the old Mac I went into Preferences Sharing and selected applications and set it to allow anyone to read and write. When that didn't work I specfically added QuarkXpress and selected it to be read and written by anyone. Still it doens't work.
    I don't have the install disk for Quark...i think it was a download.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    If that is the Power Macintosh 7200 mentioned in another post, remember that CD-RW discs do not work with many older Macs. Use CD-R. Try burning at a low speed.
    The only file system recognised by Macintosh computers running operating systems earlier than 8.1 is HFS (Standard). Do not use HFS+ (Extended) under these circumstances.

  • I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    There is no really satisfactory substitute for iDVD to burn video files from iMovie.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.

  • My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    WINDOWS?
    Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
    In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
    In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
    Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
    Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
    Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
    And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
    might be out of date worth a try

  • Itunes says my music files are 6gb, my user/itunes music folder says its 23gb. I am trying to move it from old/new mac with 8gb ipod

    I am trying to move my sons  library to his new mac using his 8 gb i pod as a hard drive.....
    itunes 9.0.1  says his music files is only  6gb.  But when I go to transfer his itunes folder it says his music folder is 23gb.  I know I can home share transfer but his wireless is down.  Either way I am wondering
    1)  why is Music folder so large compared to my music library?
    2.) Can I simply move the 6gb of music and the playlist info etc....using his 8gb ipod?
    3.) Can I delete his previous library files ?

    No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

  • I'm trying to download CS5 on my new mac, .dmg says its not recognized.

    I am downloading from the official adobe site. http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    I have had a pc version for a couple of years and i just got a new mac. I have a license that I can transfer, but the software isn't downloading correctly?

    If you're planning to use your CS5 Windows serial number to license CS5 on your Mac then it won't work.
    Creative Suite serial numbers are licensed per operating system. So Windows serial numbers will not work on Macs and vice versa.
    Platform swaps are available (to swap Win to Mac or vice versa) but it only applies to CS6.
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    You'll either have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac (known as a crossgrade) or join the Cloud.
    Or run virtualisation software such as Bootcamp or Parallels on the Mac and install the Windows version in a Windows environment on the Mac.

  • TimeCapsule - trying to access old data from new mac

    I just got a new MBP after my previous one got severely corrupted and became un-recoverable. 
    I migrated all my data over from the Time Capsule, but immediately after the new MBP started showing the same symptoms as the dead one. Apple tech suggest wipe and clean re-installing Mavericks.  I did and it works fine.
    I have spent all day reloading software and some data from other discs, but there is some stuff that is only on the Time Capsule now. Problem is - i cannot find it on the Time Capsule.
    When i try connecting to TC it lists a SparsediskImage named to match the new computer not the old one, even though the created date is for the old mac.  It has 941gb of data, yet it wont let me look any further back than today.
    Is there any way to access the data that is in TC and just rescue those few useful files?

    You should never use Mavericks Time Machine over an old backup.
    Mount the sparsebundle in Finder and you can manually open it to an earlier date and extract info from it.
    See Q15 here.

  • I'm trying to install CS6 onto my new Mac.  However, the installer is saying that my serial number has been revoked.  HELP

    I purchased CS6 in June of 2012 and have been using it without a problem ever since.  I just purchased a new Mac however, and want to install my current version of CS6.  I downloaded the installer from adobe.com and am to the point of entering my serial number.  However, I am now receiving an error message stating that my serial number has been "revoked" and that I my product cannot be downloaded.  I have the purchase receipt and can provide documentation of the serial number and order number.  Will someone please help?

  • Serial # not accepted when I'm trying to install LR5 on my new Mac

    I have LR 5 installed on a a PC. When I try to install LR on my new Mac my "old" serial # isn't accepted.
    Will the serial # be accepted if I uninstall LR from my old computer perhaps?
    Or will I have to buy a new license?

    Did you get this serial number from Adobe or an authorized Adobe reseller or did you get it from Amazon or somewhere else where the origin is not clear?  I ask this because sometimes serial numbers can be stolen and Adobe doesn't know for a while, but eventually they black-list them in newer versions of the software. 
    Is this a situation where you purchased an upgrade and aren't entering the previous version's serial number?
    Is the bad serial number indicated immediately upon typing the last digit with a red X instead of a green checkmark next to where the serial number is entered, or is the serial number indicated as bad after you log into Adobe during the install and registration process?
    Did this serial number come from a download or from a box?  Maybe one of these types of purchases only allows activating on a single platform.  Maybe you'll need to chat with Adobe about it, via the Chat links on their support pages.

  • Newer mac laptops pick up wifi signal, why won't mine

    I work upstairs from a shop that has public wifi, but my g4 ti powerbook won't pick up the signal while newer mac laptops sitting beside me will. What could be going on? I can get most signals elsewhere out and about.

    I can walk out the door of my shop, sit on the stoop and receive a signal from a hot spot across the street. Walk around the corner and get another apple signal, I can use my powerbook at home perfectly with my extreme. And as I said before the shops signal is definitely not password protected. I have tried deleting com.apple...utility.plist in preferences. Kind of out of my expertise zone there. But found when i was having problems with mac help not opening it was a preference thing to be deleted that helped make it work.

  • After adding a new account, I can't delete emails from the inbox of this account.

    I just added a sixth account to my Thunderbird installation. There was no problem adding the account and I can send and receive emails without problem. However, I cannot delete emails from the inbox. What should I do to correct this?

    It is a POP account.
    I just backed up the profile.
    I don't know the size of the inbox nor how to see what it is nor change it. However, the inbox for this account is currently empty. (Yes, I know this post is about not being able to delete emails from the inbox, so how can it be empty? In my research I found a post of someone with the same problem who discovered he could move emails from the inbox to another folder and then delete that folder (not the individual mails in the folder, but only the entire folder). That is how I emptied the inbox, but it is a very cumbersome work around that I shouldn't have to do.

  • Re: Trying to install DW CS3 on new Mac, get this message:Startup error,Required resources are missing

    Hello,
    I am reading your thread here and I am having problems reinstalling CS3 after I did a migration from old iMac to new iMac (which rendered the installed CS3 unusable). I have "required resources are missing" error message when trying to reinstall from purchased CD. Please suggest how to help. thanks,

    Cyntlee33 the simplest option is to restore your new computer back to a clean install of Mac OS 10.7.  Then use the migration assistant again to move over only documents and settings.
    Your other option, which might end up expending a lot of additional time if it fails, would be to try using the CS5 cleaner tool to attempt to remove the files which were transferred over by the migration assistant.
    I would highly recommend the first option.  During my time with support some of the most difficult issues I have dealt with were from users who used some type of migration utility and then their software did not perform properly on the new computer.
