How do you transfer Adobe 9 from old laptop to new one

I bought a new Toshiba laptop. I need instructions on how to transfer adobe 9 from my old laptop to my new Toshiba.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First off what Adobe 9? Adobe is a BRAND not a product and doesn't tell us enough to provide a specific answer. But you can't simply transfer the program.
Second, are you trying to transfer the actual program or the license? To transfer the license you will probably need to call Adobe Customer Support to handle. You'll need to use the original disk it came on to install it on the new system or download the latest installer file to install from depending on what Adobe product it is. Which method you use will depend on which Adobe product it is. If it is one of the paid for programs you'll need to use the product key that accompanied the install disk. If it is one of the free Adobe programs like Adobe Acrobat Reader there is no product key required so you just need to download the latest installer from Adobe and install it.
Now here is where it get's tricky. If it is one of the paid for products like Adobe Photoshop Elements that was installed on the first laptop when you purchased it, the license might be tied to the ORIGINAL laptop and can not legally be transfered to the new one. You would need to contact Adobe Customer Support to determine that.
Third, are there files that you have created or are working on that need to be transfered as well?
If you have addditional questions or something doesn't make sense please post back and include ALL of the following information.
COMPLETE model number of the old laptop and the new laptop. If you aren't from the USA you'll need to include the part numbers for each as well.
EXACTLY which Adobe product you are referring to.
Did the Adobe product come pre-installed on the orignal laptop or was it purchased seperately.
Do you have files created with the program that you also need to transfer?
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

How can I transfer itunes library from old pc to new imac?

I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac. I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync. Is it necessary to get Firewire? Or should I sync it from my iPad? I'd like to avoid the middleman. Thanks!

How do you guys transfer photoshop cs6 from old laptop to new one?

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer photoshop cs6 from my old macbook to new one.
I tried to do it through using migration, but it doesn't work.
Is there a better solution? or do I need to buy new one ?

Migration does not work well with Adobe programs. Deactivate it on your old machine. Then use the Creative Cloud Cleaner on the new machine to get rid of the unsuccessfully migrated software. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then do a complete new install on the new machine, and activate it.

How best to transfer iPhoto Library from old Mac to new Mac

I've just taken delivery of a gleaming new 17inch iMac. (I'm very proud!)
I have an old G3 iMac with approx 1000 photo's on iPhoto. (Not sure which version but that Mac is still running OSX 10.1.5 so it's a fairly early version).
What is the best way to transfer the photo's across? I'd like to keep the album structure in place if possible.
I'm fairly sure I can do this by connecting the macs with an ethernet cable but I haven't got a clue how to do it!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Given that you've already started using the iPhoto on the new machine then yes, copying the iPhoto Library Folder from the external HD will certainly affect things. If you copy it to the default location in your Pictures Folder it will overwrite the new one.
So, now you now have two libraries and you want to merge them. How much effort have you put into the new one? If it's only a roll or two you could simply take the rolls out of the NEW iPhoto Library Folder / Originals, then copy the OLD one over - letting it over write, then import the NEW photos.
If you have a lot of work, you can merge the two libraries. For that, you'll need iPhoto Library Manager

ps - it is quite easy to do... until you create a second library.

How can I move my entire iTunes library from old laptop to new one?

I got a new iPad for Xmas to replace an old laptop not realising I would still have to have a laptop or PC for my main iTunes library. I have got round ths by creating my own area on my partner's laptop & have installed my iTunes library on there. However, it has only installed my purchased music & not my wider collection such as all my CD's that I burned then got rid of to go digital. I have my complete library on my iPad & iPhone but need it on my laptop too in case I lose or break a device & need to install my iTunes library to a new device.
I have followed the support detailing how to move your iTunes to a new computer but am not getting very far. I don't have an iPod to use as an external hard drive. I read that you can drag your iTunes library to a CD or DVD but my library is 16GB & I don't have any disc big enough!
Does anyone have an idea of a simple way I can do this? Is it not possible to do it directly from my iPad or iPhone seeing as my complete library is on both of these devices?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

How do I transfer my apps from old PC to new one?

I bought a new desktop and have installed iTunes.
It seems to have transferrred my music over, but not apps? How do I do this?

Ideally you would copy over the entire iTunes library, otherwise you will be prompted to erase and reload the media. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a tool you can use to backup the library on the old computer, restore it to the new one, and then use to keep an up to date backup in future.

How do I transfer ipod playlist from old ipad to new ipad?

How do I transfer ipod playlist from old ipad to new ipad?

Is this a playlist you created on your old iPad, or a playlist you created with iTunes on your computer?
If the former, you should have been prompted to transfer the backup for your old iPad to your new iPad the first time you connected your new iPad to iTunes on the computer used for syncing your old iPad. If not or you declined, you need to restore your new iPad from the backup of your old iPad.
If the playlist was created with iTunes on your computer, transfer the playlist from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPad via the iTunes sync process.

How do I transfer saved emails from old ipad to new ipad

how do I transfer saved emails from old ipad to new ipad?

Hi trevorius,
Happy New Year! The answer to your question depends on what email account you are using. If it is your iCloud email account, the email messages will be available when you enable iCloud on your new iPad. If it is an iMap account like Gmail, the messages will be redownloaded from their server.
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
You can use iCloud or iTunes to transfer content from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to another device.
Use iCloud Backup
Follow these steps if both your devices use iOS 5 or later and you have an iCloud account. If not, please follow the iTunes steps below.
You can use iCloud Backup to back up your previous device and then restore the backup to a new device. Your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be transferred to your new device.
See more about iCloud Backup.
Turn on iCloud Backup
Start by backing up your old device to iCloud:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Turn on iCloud Backup.
You may want to connect to power and turn Wi-Fi on.
Back up now
iCloud backs up your device once a day. To back up your device before you transfer content:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Back Up Now.
Wait until the backup finishes. How long it will take depends on how big the backup is and how fast your Internet connection is.
Set up your new device
When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
Your language and country
Whether to enable Location Services
A Wi-Fi network
If you've already set up your device, you can reset it so that you can go through the iOS Setup Assistant again and restore from your backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup.
Restore from iCloud Backup
When you're asked to set up:
Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
Tap next.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Choose the backup
Choose the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device finishes restoring from the backup.
How long it will take depends on how big the backup is and how fast your Internet connection is.
Sync other content from iTunes
When the restore finishes, your device will restart. You should connect the device to iTunes to sync data that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, or apps that you didn't purchase from the iTunes Store or the App Store ). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
Enter your passwords
When you're restoring an iCloud backup to a new device, you'll need to enter your password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.

Use iTunes
If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.
Get ready
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer and the latest version of iOS on your original device.
You can't install a backup of a newer version of iOS onto devices that are using earlier versions of iOS. If your backup came from a device that has a newer version of iOS installed, update your new device before you transfer your data. For help, see Unable to restore from a backup of a newer iOS device.
Back up and transfer
First, back up your old device using iTunes. You can also encrypt the backup so that it remembers the passwords for your email, Wi-Fi, and more when you transfer to the new device. Otherwise, you can re-enter these passwords on the new device.
Then transfer your data from your device to your computer.
Remove your SIM card
If your device has a SIM card, use the SIM-extractor tool or a paper clip to remove the SIM from your old device and insert it into your new device. Or if your carrier gave you a new SIM card, use that instead.
Set up the new device
When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
Your language and country
Whether to enable Location Services
A Wi-Fi network
If you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, you can also activate by tapping Connect to iTunes.
Restore the backup
When prompted to set up your device, select Restore from iTunes Backup.
Connect to iTunes
Connect your new device to iTunes, using the same computer you used to back up your current device. iTunes will ask you to restore from backup or set up as new. Select the backup of your old device and choose Continue.
If the progress bar in iTunes pauses for a while, wait until the restore finishes.
Sync other content
When the restore finishes, your device restarts, and then it's ready for you to use.
Keep your device connected to iTunes to sync content that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, and apps). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
Enter your passwords
If you restored from an unencrypted backup, you'll need to enter the password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.
